More model informationMoschops is an extinct genus of therapsids that lived in the Guadalupian epoch, around 265–260 million years ago. They were heavily built plant eaters, and they may have lived partly in water, as hippopotamuses do. They had short, thick heads and might have competed by head-butting each other. Their elbow joints allowed them to walk with a more mammal-like gait rather than crawling. Their remains were found in the Karoo region of South Africa. There are four known species; Moschops capensis the type species, Moschops koupensis, two of which are uncertain, Moschops oweni and Moschops whaitsi. It was described by Robert Broom, in 1911.
