Dimetrodon

Dimetrodon was a mammal-like reptile (Synapsida) that lived between 280-265 million years ago during the Permian period. Specimens are found in North America and Europe. The most distinctive characteristic of Dimetrodon was the large sail on its back. Fifteen species are documented, the largest species could become 4 meters long and have a weight of 300 kg, while the smallest where 90 cm long and had a weight of 14 kg. Dimetrodon is the most famous non-mesozoic reptile, Dimetrodon is often erroneously seen as a dinosaur or as living alongside dinosaurs.
