Dimetrodon

When I saw my first Dimetrodon I was surprised at how small it was.  I knew it was about ten feet long, but I didn't realize half of that was tail.  Hell, I'd seen alligators that were bigger.  It may have been small, but it was still mean.  It charged at us, using that monitor-lizard gait to rapidly close the distance between us.

While often mistaken for a dinosaur, Dimetrodon was actually a mammal-like reptile of the Early Permian period.  It is most recognizable by the large sail on its back.
