Edaphosaurus. They're three-meters-long, as big as hippos, and like them, they're vegetarians. Amazingly, these strange sail-backs are related to us.

[@riamus7258]

They're not even close to a hippo in mass.

@@riamus7258 Do you know how to unblock the Dimetrodon video.

[@zezekingyo2374]

@@ek9509 They are related to us because we mammals and these primitive "pelycosaurs" have what you call a temporal fenestra on our sides of the skull. This feature is pretty dominant in mammals and their extinct distant cousins. The term of that are _synapsids_

When the narrator said that the Reptiles conquered the land, it felt like at long last, the vertebrates had triumphed over the invertebrates and had fully wrested control of the Earth from them. It took a long time but in the end, the distant descendants of those early fish from the Cambrian Seas prevailed and now in the present day, we vertebrates STILL lord over insects and other Arthropods......

[@my3ds21051]

It absolutely dumbfounds my cousin as to why these things are herbivores and Dimetrodons a carnivore. He doesn't understand why they're not carnivores.

[@davidstuber8198]

Jenny D the dimetrodon is a carnovore because it’s skull is shorter and has less teeth. Plant eaters like edaphosaurs have wider skulls and more teeth. Suitable for eating plants

[@Melanosuchusss]

Hippos had carnivore relatives at one point and still do so it’s not that far fetched

[@Magneticlaw]

Herbivore does not necessarily equal docile or meek - just look to a hippo or a cape buffalo for hyper-aggressive plant eaters.

[@TheAnimalKingdom-my1vi]

Everything about this Edaphosaurus is accurate except for the head (it actually had a small head) and doesn't evolve from Petrolacosaurus (It's ancestors are Archaeothryis and Ianthasaurus)

The information here is speculative. Especially when they show one species involving into a another

[@masonplacher7096]

Does this mean that Petrolacosaurus is an early ancestor of dinosaurs?

[@CyBromancer7562]

I like to refer to reptiles as all amniotes besides birds and mammals, as well as their closest ancestors. If they lack mammalian fur or avian feathers for the most part, and instead are scaly, then they are reptiles. This means that the earliest synapsids the pelycosaurs are reptiles, as they probably lacked fur and instead used scales or sails to warm themselves up from outside heat sources. That means the pelycosaurs are mammal-like reptiles, with the Therapsids being the protomammals because they may have had fur like filaments and were more mammalian. A reptile is paraphyletic group of animals, which means that some groups that are closely related are left out. So, while birds are sauropsids like turtles or lizards, they are not reptiles. So I say Mammals are synapsids like Dimetrodon, but mammals are not reptiles like dimetrodon. The more bird-like dinosaurs like archaeopteryx are somewhere between birds and reptiles, and the therapsids are somewhat between reptilian and somewhat mammalian.

Or Lazy dimetrodon

[@Fish-pi8lv]

Not every herbivore is defenseless, people just like to depict them that way

[@user-lg8cs1uc1n]

Is it plausible if these synapsids were reconstructed with fur (or at least some sort of fuzz)?

[@Dell-ol6hb]

yes I think that is still a valid theory as to what they looked like in life, tho there still isnt evidence to that as far as i know

Has the population of prey more than predators

[@riamus7258]

Yes. Prey always outnumbers the predator.

[@zezekingyo2374]

@@riamus7258 In relations to everything around us, they mentioned that the tiny prey are highly abundant than the prey of a larger size and the size of the prey after that. Take an example of various unrelate zooplankton(tiny crustaceans, icthyoplankton, and larvae), wich were fed by anchovies, then fed by jackfish, then by sharks. As the food chain goes higher, most will assume the higher the chain, the less of the animal of the chain in population decreases. Apex predator such as Jaguars are the menace in Amazon rainforest, yet their population is rather diminished unlike otters and caimans. Harpey eagles are the apex predator of the skies also has small population as well.

To be fair, the environment depicted here is not really accurate. Edaphosaurus were more swamp-dwellers than desert nomads. Needless to say, they wouldn't have to worry about any water or food shortage in a swamp.

[@scorpiusrex5923]

Petrolacosaurus can't evolve into edaphosaurus

[@madsthomsen8106]

Correct, because the former is an early diapsid. They should have picked something like Archaeothyris.
