Introduction to the Sphenodontidae
Though the tuatara is the only species of sphenodontid alive today, the group was rather diverse in the Mesozoic Era. All sphenodontids belong to the
Lepidosauria, a group of diapsids that includes snakes, lizards, and mososaurs. [eng]

muestran muchas características avanzadas si se las compara con sus parientes más próximos ya extinguidos. [spa]
