Labidosaurus (la-BID-oh-SAW-rus) was a heavy, strong reptile which had a large head and a short tail. Its powerful limbs suggest that it could survive easily on the land. Labidosaurus had several rows of very sharp teeth in its jaws. By having lots of teeth, Labidosaurus would find it easy to crush up shelled creatures such as snails. It could also grind up tough plant material. It lived during the early part of the Permian period.
