<p><i><b>Bradysaurus</b></i> war ein Pflanzen fressendes <a href="Reptilien" title="Reptilien">Reptil</a>. Seine <a href="Fossil" title="Fossil">Fossilien</a> wurden in etwa 265 bis 260,5 <a href="Mya_(Zeitskala)" title="Mya (Zeitskala)">Millionen Jahre</a> altem Gestein in <a href="S%C3%BCdafrika" title="Südafrika">Südafrika</a> entdeckt.<sup id="cite_ref-Watson_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Watson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Die Körperlänge von <i>Bradysaurus</i> beträgt etwa 2,5 m, sein Schädel misst ca. einen halben Meter.
Er bewegte sich <a href="Quadrupedie" title="Quadrupedie">quadruped</a> (vierbeinig) fort. Wie auch andere <a href="Pareiasauridae" title="Pareiasauridae">Pareiasauriden</a> war das Tier stämmig und muskulös gebaut und besaß im Vergleich zur gesamten Körperlänge einen relativ kurzen Schwanz. Sein Kiefer weist die für damalige <a href="Pflanzenfresser" title="Pflanzenfresser">Pflanzenfresser</a> typische Bezahnung auf.<sup id="cite_ref-Watson_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Watson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><i>Bradysaurus</i> ernährte sich als <a href="Pflanzenfresser" title="Pflanzenfresser">herbivorer</a> <a href="Pareiasauridae" title="Pareiasauridae">Pareiasauridae</a> von Sträuchern und Farnen. Zum gegenseitigen Schutz lebte er in Herden. Dadurch konnte er sich besser gegen potenzielle Fressfeinde wie beispielsweise <a href="Gorgonopsia" title="Gorgonopsia">Gorgonopsiden</a> oder anderen fleischfressenden <a href="Theriodontia" title="Theriodontia">Theriodontia</a> verteidigen.
