Cubone posted:the fact that the spikes are connected to the vertebrae is kinda crazy. the spine is so important, neurologically speaking, and they have these big protuberances hanging off of them. it seems like something hitting the sail would risk damage to the spine Normally, you'd be correct. Dimetrodons actually pupated underground for 17 years in larval form munching on nutritious plant roots, safe from harm. After 17 years, they emerge enmasse, and large swathes die quickly to predation, but for the "lucky" survivors, they live a couple weeks, long enough for a molt, mate, lay eggs, and die. The sail ultimately helps ensure they attract a mate, which is much more important to the survival of their species.
