What irks me the most about a lot of dimetrodon depictions, particularly when humans are also depicted alongside (JP cards or Ark:SE) is that dimetrodon is always depicted as slow moving and non-threatening, when it was pretty much acknowledged since their discovery that they were the apex predators of their time.

That part about rhinos being wrongly interpreted is the best thing about this video imo. It illustrates really well that all of our reconstructions are based on conjecture and could be, however fundamentally correct in terms of structure, way off base in relation to tissue and colour.

....and also means that pretty much everything he said about Dimetrodon cold still be wrong. Watch thew whole thing again and you'll see what I've found maddening about prehistoric figuring since I was a kid a long time ago- "We now know this is wrong, because they are more related to mammals because of this number of holes in the head... so because these other animals with the same number of holes in the head had this type of skin (or spinal bones up high) that lived MILLIONS of years apart, we know Dimetrodon didn't have scales". WTF? Because they split off in the direction where mammals came from, the rest of the beast had to be similar to animals that came along millions of years after huh? Okay. There are birds with feathers resembling hair, and there were dinosaurs (reptiles) with feathers. I'll lean towards the animal probably not having scales either, but that explanation going back and forth about the skin being like these other animals that could have been completely different (look at how many others are extremely different from simply being down a different branch of the family) is weak. You can easily pick most of this apart as the same habits scientists do in the same old academic snobby way; doing pseudo-science complaining about everyone else doing pseudoscience. It's ridiculous.

One of my favorite parts of ancient synapsids is the differentiated teeth. It’s just not something you think about, but is also a very familiar trait. Seeing a predator with large canine teeth alongside shorter incisors and more blunt molars as opposed to a row of identical conical or blade-like teeth immediately evokes a mammalian lineage. The canine teeth are just such a striking feature of so many mammals we even have mythical creatures based on it: Vampires, whose most striking characteristic is enlarged canine fanges.

Da Dude "Reptiles" are a paraphyletic group anyway. We just call them that way because they share some physical similarities not because they are closely related to each other. If it was a monophylum, then mammals and birds would be reptiles as well. If you call those animals "mammal like reptiles" you're making a statement about their appearance, if you call them stem mammals, you are making a statement about their evolutionary relations. Both is equally plausible. You can call a thylacine a Tasmanian tiger/wolf and still recognize that it's not really related to a tiger/wolf.

Once again, Trey, love your videos, but here's a correction for narration beginning at 14:50: The Permian synapsids are often called "mammal-like reptiles," but only the sauropsid amniotes (turtles, tuatara, lizards, snakes, crocodiles, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs, including birds) can properly be called reptiles. The synapsids (we mammals and our extinct distant relatives) are also amniotes, but we diverged from the reptiles hundreds of millions of years ago. Also, nothing can be "more evolved" than anything else. Creatures can be ancestral or derived, generalized or specialized, and well- or poorly adapted. But because evolution is not really progress per se, nothing is farther along than anything else. We're all just changing over time. Finally, the synapsid creatures you then showed are Therapsids. That is pronounced "Therr-app-sids," not "therapists." As cool as they are, large predatory animals with big fangs would probably rather eat us than provide us with therapy.

@TREYtheExplainer

Thanks man! 1) I understand that now. I know that synapsids are separate to what we consider "reptiles". Mammal-like reptiles was the name once given to them when I was growing up, I'll get with the times. 2) I understand and I am aware that nothing is "more evolved" than some other organism. It was a matter of speech in terms that common people would understand. I'll use some of the more scientific terminology in the future. 3) Yeah, I'll pronounce them correctly in the future.

Bacterias are probably the 'most evolved' (as in it has literally gone through the process of mutation followed by natural selection more frequently) organisms on Earth!

You know, when you mentioned Everglades and Florida panther, I imagined another wetland habitat with another panther-like predator, that may be more of a analogue, at least for the larger Dimetrodon species; the jaguars of the Pantanal wetlands in Brazil. I can see them diving into the water after temnospondyls like the jaguars dive after caimans. Man, that'd be cool to see.

Hey Trey, love your channel! I have a few questions about dinosaurs you may be willing to answer, 1. Why did early theropod dinosaurs (or dinosaurs in general) begin to grow feathers? 2. What is the point of the fan of feathers found at the end of a raptor's tail? Also, why were there so many feathers behind the arms like modern day birds if they couldn't fly? 3. If there were no feathers on a dinosaur, what would its skin be like? 4. Could the longer necks of dinosaurs have moved similar to a flamingo or heron? 5. What's your opinion of Jurassic Park? You've called it horribly inaccurate (which it is) but also called it good. 6. Will you do a video dedicated to the evolution of humans or maybe pterosaurs? 7. What do you think of the episode of Gravity Falls with the dinosaurs? (Land before swine). Like, when they call the pterodactyl a dinosaur and how inaccurate it is (and saying dinosaurs went extinct) 8. So, did mammals descend from amphibians or reptiles? From what I know, amphibians came and then afterwards came reptiles, I think, right? And then the first mammals were monotremes, right? 9. Also, on your video about raptors, it showed you had a steam account. What is it? I'd love to be your friend!

Dimetrodon is one of my absolute FAVORITE prehistoric animals, it was one of the first 'dino' toys I ever got as a kid.

Out of curiosity, is there any evidence to support that these spines may have only been on male dimetrodons to help mating? We see similar with modern avians where in Mallard Ducks the male will have unique colours on its feathers used for mate attraction while the female has none. This is also seen in pheasants, turkeys, and peacocks.

We’ve done this with a lot of dinosaurs with younger forms, eg. nanotyrannus is almost definitely a baby Tyrannosaurus rex and dracorex, stigimoloch and pachycephalosaurus are almost definitely all the same dinosaur at different life stages. It’s not unreasonable to think that we have have misidentified species that are sexually dimorphic as two different species.

@@Sawrattan If you want more info on this I’d recommend watching Jack Horners video ‘shape shifting dinosaurs.’ It’s really interesting and shows great evidence for this (and a lot of dinosaurs are now classified as as the same species because of his paper on this though there is some debates for some of his examples eg. Torosaurus and Triceratops within the palaeontological community are highly debated though I personally think they’re the same dinosaur, the two examples I have given though are both examples that have been reclassified as the same species at different stages and their bones just change as they grow older (literally like most other animals))🙂

How about some Paleo Profiles for Eocarcharia, Daspletosaurus, Teratophoneus, Saurophaganax, Ceratosaurus and Megalosaurus? Surely those might be interesting

4:49 why'd they have to draw it like that

"The study was actually in 2012." Wow, your grasp of the passage of time is only marginally better than my own.

I love you're videos!!! :D You should do Gorgonopsid next!!!

I don't suppose you would be willing to do a Paleo Profile on Troodon?

Good video, however it is worth mentioning that synapsids were NOT reptiles, so valling dimetrodon a "mammal-like reptile" is flawed. Synapsids did not evolve from reptiles, but both groups share a common ancestry with basal amniotes.

***** nope, synapsides were not true reptiles, they do share a common ancestor, but they themselves are not reptiles. That's like saying that hyenas are cats becouse felidae and hyenidae both share a common ancestor, it's not true. petrifiedwoodmuseum.org/SOSynapsids.htm www.truthinscience.org.uk/content.cfm?id=3114

***** nope, they do not come from reptiles. They along with reptiles have a common acentry that got devided into two branches, synapsids (mammals) and diapsids (reptiles). An anology that could work is the one that for example, both canidae (dogs) and ursidae (bears) are both caniforms and thus share a common ancestry, however both canidae and ursidae are different groups of animals.

the real term for mammal like reptile, is therapsid, which refers to a large group of mammal-reptile transitions, the term synapsid refers to mammals, and only mammals. to sum it up mammal reptile transitions are refered to as therapsids, mammals are referred to as synapsids, therapsids are not true reptiles, they are a transitional group of "pseudosaurians", a group that refers to reptiles that have evolved into non-saurian animal species.

My brother, who is a huge Dinosaur expert and paleo artist, says the theory of Dimetrodon not really having a sail is inaccurate. The tips of the spines may have stuck out, but not like the picture you feature on the thumbnail.

@@JurassicReptile This is great news to me-- watching it for the first time made me instantly suspicious and I'm only a marine biologist. Looking at/listening to these videos and seeing yet another person being an authority, or deciding to go forward as a source and teacher completely baffles me as to how they though that way in the first place. I know "somebody's gotta do it" may be inspirational in their own mind, or the spirit of looking for the facts and helping others might be at hand.... but since I was a kid decades ago I've watched and read "authorities" make claims, cut down others, then backpedal silently as they themselves were found to be wrong.... and it's quite maddening. What a big messy game, with serious posturing. It's as if they assume we're supposed to take them seriously as long as they say so, and when they're wrong, we have to wait until they are right be WE can't be right. WE don't have the credentials to think. At lest I'm impressed that Trey covered mistakes-- that alone is far better than the scientists I'm ranting about. While some may find it hip and trendy to label me as a "hater", the only difference between me and the scientists that tell others they are "completely wrong" (when in fact they don't know) is that they have a title and made a more impressive diploma. We don't know if they actually are a better thinker about such things. My proof? I didn't need to know anybody from paleontology or the latest anything in science to know that what I was listening to was likely wrong. Just listen to ti again, know how the system works, and you'll know to not hold your breath about these "facts" ever again. If you've followed the roller coaster of paleontological claims and retractions as long as I have, you'll find some of your own predictions will be just as likely using logic as with any process and system from school.
