Description
Got inspired to do this weird critter after watching Trey the Explainer's old video. Added some speculative features on the head and stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK5IgM…Related content

Trey’s a great resource for Dino facts! Love your work! I did a piece like this but it was a bit more fictional.

Well, this is more fictional too. Someone pointed out that Trey's video is outdated and there may have been inaccuracies in there.

That's true, but that's the beauty of science! It's never stagnant and things with always change! Its good for us artists too, never run out of ideas

I don't know if you've seen it, but I recently watched this video on PBS's youtube channel suggesting that the Dimetrodon is one of our potential ancestors. I don't necessarily agree with that myself, but I did think it was something to see. I just can't entirely see us coming from something like that myself, but again, I did think it was interesting.
Anywho, this re-imagining of the Dimetrodon would fit in line with that theory in my humble opinion, so well done, you.

Well, Dimetrodon is too specialized with those huge spines. Sphenacodon wouöd be a m,opre likely candidate to give rise to Therapsids.

Really? I can't say I've heard of that one before, though I'd like to learn a bit more about it.

I suppose this trend will continue for a while. Interesting reconstruction but hardly speculative and not very realistic.

I immediately thought prehistoric ROUS, rodent of unusual size.

This is so cool!! You might want to know that the exposed parts of the spines, as it turns out, were about half the length depicted, more or less. ^-^

I think it should in that aspect

really a elephant skinned dino

Fossil evidence from some therapsids (like Estemmenosuchus) reveals that at least some stem-mammals were covered in a scaleless, glandular skin.
Perhaps they looked more like elephants, hippos and naked mole rats than lizards and snakes.

well I guess its not a dinosaur anymore or never was in this case
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it never was, but pop culture made it a dino just for the first interpretations
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Dimetrodon is not a dinosaur (it lived before dinosaurs). It's a proto-mammal.

an amazing interpretation showing both the hump and spines
