Godzilla: The h e l l is a stem mammal... Fox?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, I'M WATCHING SAN ANDREAS WITH MY DAD- oh. I'll uh... be right back.
"Synapsids are a group of animals that includes mammals and every animal more closely related to mammals than to the other members of the amniote clade, such as reptiles and birds. They are easily separated from other amniotes by having a temporal fenestra, an opening low in the skull roof behind each eye, leaving a bony arch beneath each; this accounts for their name. Primitive synapsids are usually called pelycosaurs or pelycosaur-grade synapsids. This informal term consists of all synapsids that are not therapsids, a monophyletic, more advanced, mammal-like group. The non-mammalian synapsids were described as mammal-like reptiles in classical systematics, but this misleading terminology is no longer in use as synapsids as a whole are no longer considered reptiles. They are now more correctly referred to as stem mammals or proto-mammals. Synapsids evolved from basal amniotes and are one of the two major groups of amniotes, the other being the sauropsids, the group that includes reptiles and birds. The distinctive temporal fenestra developed in the ancestral synapsid about 312 million years ago, during the Late Carboniferous period."
So they're... mammals but not mammals -- bro, I'm nowhere close to this topic in my science studies! What grade are you?
Godzilla: If I didn't misread it, I feel like the lizard's a stem mammal-
"Synapsids are a group of animals that includes mammals and every animal more closely related to mammals than to the other members of the amniote clade, such as reptiles and birds." If this means "a creature with both the genes of a mammal primarily and/or a reptile or avian" then yes, probabl- wait, which lizard are you talking about?
Godzilla: *Inhales* The gay one.
