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.

This information stood on the collector card from the Kenner toyline:

'Scientists once speculated that Dimetrodon's unique dorsal structure was used as a sail to help the animal swim. Now, however, the more widely accepted explanation is that the spines were involved in regulating body temperature, as blood flowing through the sail could be warmed or cooled more quickly than in the rest of the body.'
