Описание: Dimetrodon: The Monster That Ruled 40 Million Years Before Dinosaurs | 4K Paleontology Documentary
Long before the Tyrannosaurus Rex or the Triceratops, the earth belonged to a different kind of giant. This is the story of the Dimetrodon, the apex predator of the Early Permian period, and the biological "solar engine" that paved the way for modern mammals.

Journey back 290 million years to a world of red iron earth and suffocating heat. Here, we reveal the truth about the famous "sail-backed dinosaur" (that wasn't a dinosaur at all). From its specialized teeth that gave it its name, to the catastrophic Great Dying that ended its reign, we explore how this creature's legacy survived in the shadows to eventually become... us.

In this video, you will learn:
Why Dimetrodon is a Synapsid (Stem-Mammal), not a reptile.
How its massive sail functioned as a biological solar panel for thermoregulation.
The evolutionary significance of "Two Measures of Teeth" (Heterodonts).
How the Siberian Traps caused the Permian-Triassic Extinction event.
The direct evolutionary link between Dimetrodon and human beings.
