Moradisaurus is an extinct genus of large captorhinid tetrapods, with a single species Moradisaurus grandis,^[1] known from the late Permian (Lopingian) aged Moradi Formation of Niger.^[2][3] It is the largest captorhinid known, estimated to have reached a snout-vent length of over two metres.^[4] Similar to other members of Moradisaurinae, it possessed multiple tooth rows, which is associated with a high-fiber herbivorous diet.^[5]
