about

This song is about Desmatosuchs, an heavily armored quadruped herbivore with two large spikes protruding from its back.

lyrics

Heavily armored quadruped reptile
North American stagonolepidae aetosaur
Binary nomenclature related to Loricata
One of the largest former thecodonts

And a massive menacing appearance
But a carnivore crurotarsan not
Actually a docile herbivore
Blunt, bulbous, curved teeth

Perhaps omnivorous insectivore
Homodont sheath-covered dentition
Toothless beak and shovel snout
Slender, forked, expanded premaxillae

Large mandibular fenestra
Its bite reminiscent of ornitischians
It lived in muddy water areas
Near rivers, lakes and waterways

Digging up soft vegetation
Median and lateral scutes carapace
Unique aetosaur with five rows of spines
Desmatosuchus spurensis, the archosaur spur
