Sauropsids

A group of tetrapods that evolved a pair of openings in the roof of their mouths. Scientists still don't completely understand what these openings are for. Sauropsids include all reptiles, dinosaurs, and birds. Mammals and fish are not sauropsids.

Sauropsid skulls show two openings in the palate (the roof of the mouth).
