Its name means two measures of teeth. Dimetrodon is not a dinosaur and is probably more closely related to us, the mammals. Its huge dorsal sail may have been a thermoregulatory structure (used to absorb and release heat) or it may also have been used for mating rituals. It was one of the apex predators of its time, and fed on fish and other animals.
