Although often mistaken for a dinosaur, Dimetrodon was actually a synapsid, an early relative of mammals that lived about 295 to 272 million years ago during the Permian Period, long before the first dinosaurs appeared. It was one of the dominant land predators of its time.
Dimetrodon's most recognizable feature was the large sail supported by elongated vertebral spines along its back. Scientists continue to study its purpose, but proposed functions include regulating body temperature, attracting mates, and displaying dominance.
