OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wantzosaurus was a genus of temnospondyl amphibian of the Trematosauridae family. It existed during the Early Triassic in what is now Madagascar. It showed adaptations for an almost completely aquatic lifestyle, having the ability to swim by lateral undulation.Temnospondyli (from Greek, temnein = to cut +, spondulos = vertebra ) is an important and extremely diverse taxon of small to giant primitive amphibians that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic periods. A few stragglers continued into the Cretaceous. During their evolutionary history they adapted to a very wide range of habitats, including fresh-water aquatic, semi-aquatic, amphibious, terrestrial, and in one group even near-shore marine, and their fossil remains have been found on every continent. Authorities disagree over whether some specialised forms were ancestral to some modern amphibians, or whether the whole group died out without leaving any descendants.
