Dimetrodons, artwork
Dimetrodons, computer artwork. Dimetrodon were the dominant land predators that lived around 270 million years ago, during the Early Permian Period, and long before the dinosaurs. They were more closely related to mammals than reptiles and could grow up to 11 feet (3.4 metres) long and 4 feet (1.2 metres) tall. The large sail on their back may have helped to regulate body temperature, an advantage during the extremes of hot and cold during the Early Permian

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible Dimetrodons, ancient land predators that ruled over 270 million years ago during the Early Permian Period. Unlike their distant reptilian relatives, these magnificent creatures were actually more closely related to mammals. Standing at an impressive height of 4 feet (1.2 meters) and measuring up to a staggering length of 11 feet (3.4 meters), they were true giants of their time. One striking feature displayed in this artwork is the large sail adorning their backs, which scientists believe served as a means to regulate body temperature. This unique adaptation provided them with a significant advantage in surviving the extreme climates experienced during the Early Permian era. Transporting us back through time, this illustration offers a glimpse into prehistoric life along riversides where these fearsome carnivores once roamed. With sharp teeth perfectly suited for hunting and capturing prey, they reigned supreme as apex predators in their ecosystem. As we marvel at this piece of natural history artistry, it serves as a reminder of Earth's diverse past and the remarkable species that have come before us. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured the essence of these awe-inspiring creatures, allowing us to appreciate both their beauty and significance within our planet's rich tapestry of life.
