👉 Lucifotychus is a genus of extinct reptile from the late Miocene period, which occurred approximately 23 million years ago in central Asia. It was characterized by its large jawbone and unique set of teeth, which were adapted to hunting small prey such as insects, arachnids, and other small animals. Lucifotychus lived during a time when reptiles had evolved into fully terrestrial land predators, with the ability to hunt on four legs.
