Has science confirmed the venom?
Love these synapsid drawings! They have so much character!

Thanks very much.
By the way, it could be due to the large Maxillary glands and fozza. But it also said on Walking with Monsters that Therocephalians are venomous. Which is why I typed it in. So far, it's debatable.

Last time I checked the science was shaky, but it seems further research has found the venom to be the most likely hypothesis. That's pretty awesome.

Ah, I see.
It it was also discovered that the flying dinosaur, Sinornithosaurus, may have also possess a venom gland because of its backward curving snake-like teeth.

That's pretty cool, though it seems the argument for that is still ongoing. The proof is grooved teeth, a feature which is found in venomous and non-venomous animals alike.
