 The river is thought to have flooded seasonally with the rains, possibly drying up completely between the rainy seasons, and forming new channels on an annual to semi-annual basis.To cope with the dry periods between the seasonal rains, it has been proposed that "Limnoscelis" might have aestivated during these periods, with the close stratigraphic association of the original specimens found by Baldwin being possible evidence of a communal aestivation den.The environment of "Limnoscelis paludis" would have likely been dominated by pelycosaurs and other basal synapsids, including "Sphenacodon ferox," "Ophiacodon mirus," "Ophiacodon" "navajovicus," "Clepsydrops vinslovii," "Aerosaurus" "greenleeorum," and "Edaphosaurus novomexicanus."
