About
Hylonomus
Hylonomus in considered by many scientists to be the first reptile. Hylonomus, like other reptiles, probably evolved from amphibians. Its thick scaled skin and hard shelled eggs allowed Hylonomus to live in much dryer conditions than could amphibians.
Hylonomus fossils are often found in the bottom of very old fossilized tree stumps. It is believed that they may have hibernated in the tree stumps, or that they fell into the hollow trees while looking for food, and became trapped.
