The Dimetrodon may look like a dinosaur, but it’s actually a synapsid, not a true dinosaur. Synapsids are a group of animals that include all mammals and early mammal-like reptiles like Dimetrodon. Its most distinctive feature is the large, spiny sail on its back, though scientists are still unsure about its exact function.

Fun Fact: The Dimetrodon roamed the Earth during the early Permian Period, long before dinosaurs emerged. It was more closely related to mammals than to dinosaurs or modern-day reptiles. Unlike dinosaurs, Dimetrodon had its legs splayed out to the side, rather than positioned directly beneath its body, giving it a unique posture.
