Another alternate evolution creature similar to the Marine Lystrosaurus.





After the Perminan extinction a small group of Dicynodonts began to take to the trees as forests regrew and reclaimed the land. There they found sustenance in leaves and insects (the latter making up an increasingly large percentage of their diet) and shelter from predators that would come to proliferate. Their builds became lighter and leaner and they became better jumpers to get from tree to tree. As time went on some of them developed membranes to glide across greater stretches of trees. Competition between populations of these small arboreal therapsids as well as reptiles eventually put further pressue on them, favoring wider gliding surfaces, tails with tufts of hair that could be used for steering and longer more powerful forelimbs to better throw themselves forward and provide them a bit more air time. Gradually, bit by bit, simple gliding gave way to powered flight as fluttering Dicynodonts began to fill the Triassic skies hunting down insects.
