The Dimetrodon is a prehistoric reptile that lived long before the dinosaurs, around 280 million years ago. It can be recognized by its large dorsal sail formed by tall spines.
Interestingly, this sail probably served to regulate its body temperature. Often mistaken for a dinosaur, it actually belongs to a lineage closer to mammals.
The Papo Dimetrodon figurine showcases this unique predator: impressive dorsal sail, detailed skin, and realistic posture. An ideal model to complete a prehistoric collection and travel to the heart of the past.
