 Yeah Dimetrodon's pretty cool, but for those of you expressing concerns about it being too angry might I introduce you to the chill synapsid Cotylorhynchus?

I mean not for my sake or whatever I mean as a joke, like as a joke for other dinosaurs or whatever the gently caress it is please I just want to know if it rips fat rear end
Basically yes, it was one of the first large herbivores, so it's tubby belly was all for letting plant material break down.

I think they put the bones together wrong on that one lol
Unlike most fossils, there's not a lot of room for error in this one, there's a mostly-articulated specimen. I guess it's neck could have been even shorter.

Synapsids were pre-mammals weren’t they? More related to mammals than the dinos that mostly replaced them

thanks quarantine
Mammals are the only surviving subgroup of synapsids, yes, but there were plenty of other lineages of synapsid that completely died out. Sadly none of the ones featured in this thread are thought to be our direct descendants. They only live on in our hearts.

one of these dimetrodons has passed away
This is from December but that's an Edaphosaurus, you fool. Do you really think a Dimetrodon would turn on one of its own?

More concerning is that these Dimetrodons are being haunted by a time-traveling ghost.

 It does. In their case it's even accurate for them to not be feathered.

You can go visit where a Dimetrodon sat and chilled for a bit.
