Extinct Creatures-- Drepanosaurus (Patreon)

Look at this cute guy! Drepanosaurus was a medium-sized (18-20 in long) reptile that had a similar lifestyle to modern-day silky anteaters. It lived in wooded areas and most likely spent a lot of time in trees, using its huge claws and prehensile tail to grip branches as it moved around, digging for insects in the bark. Its claws were about the size of its head, and it even had a claw on the tip of its robust tail, like a scorpion. Though it probably primarily used its tail-claw for gripping branches, not stabbing.

It also had a big ridge on its back, a bit like some modern chameleons. They're very odd, cute little animals, and I like em a lot.
