Steropodon was a small mammal that lived alongside the dinosaurs in the mid-Cretaceous time period.
Facts
Steropodon was a prehistoric species of monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, that lived during the middle Albian stage, in the Lower Cretaceous period. It is the second-earliest known relative of the platypus.
In Walking with... Series
In the fifth episode of Walking with Dinosaurs, a Steropodon (live acted by a coatimundi) is seen attempting to steal eggs from a Leaellynasaura; however the dinosaur drives it off by kicking dirt back at it.
Errors
Although Steropodon was a monotreme and looked like the modern platypus, in the WWD series it was depicted by a live Coatimundi, which looks nothing like a platypus or Steropodon.
