Captorhinus is an extinct genus of captorhinid reptiles that lived during the Permian period, and was one of the earliest and most primitive reptiles. Its remains are known from North America, Europe, India and Africa. It was fairly small--around 12 inches in length--and likely bore a resemblance to modern lizards.
