- These creatures were in the 1959 movie of Journey to the Center of the Earth. They lived in the Permian period. Two of the men, Count Saknussemm and Sir Oliver Lindenbrook, found a single Dimetrodon, but they went to the sea so he can't follow them (the Dimetrodon doesn't appear to swim). Later, the Dimetrodon calls in his family. When they attacked the group, the female person, Carla, was about to get eaten by a Dimetrodon, but Hans throws spears and it kills the monster, then the rest of the Dimetrodon become cannibalistic by eating the dead Dimetrodon.
- The dimetrodon is a three-part fossil that can be donated to the museum in Wild World, City Folk, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It can also be sold to Tom Nook's Store or Re-Tail for around 5,000 bells per section.

- Dimetrodon was a species of carnivorous mammal-like reptile that roamed during the Permian period.
- The Dimetrodon is an ambient animal in Carnivores 2 and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter that wanders around the map eating insects and carrion. Originally thought to be incorrectly herbivorous, in Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, the in-game dinopedia reveals them to actually be eating animal matter as they move across the landscape. They are not a threat and can be killed in one shot from any weapon other than the pistol, which requires two shots to bring down. The Dimetrodon in the game bears more of a resemblance to its distant relative, the Edaphosaurus. In real life, Dimetrodon probably wouldn't have been as harmless as depicted in the game, as it was a ruthless predator of smaller pelycosaurs and would likely be more than capable of taking on the hunter.
- Dimetrodon was the top predator of the Early Permian Period. It was a Pelycosaur, and is an ansestor of mammals.
- The Dimetrodon (EZ-065) is a Dimetrodon Type of Zoid, and one of over 200 species of bio-mechanical lifeforms that form the Zoid race depicted int TOMY's Zoids Franchise.
- Dimetrodons are an extinct species of reptiles of the order Pelycosauria known for their mammal-like characteristics and ability to regulate their body temperature. The most prominent feature of dimetrodons are the large neural spine sail on its back, formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first discovered in Germany in 1878.

- Dimetrodon (i/daɪˈmiːtrədɒn/; meaning "two measures of teeth") is an extinct genus of synapsid that lived during the Early Permian period, around 295–272 million years ago (Ma). It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in the southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the Red Beds in Texas and Oklahoma.

- thumb|400pxDimetrodon pertenece al grupo de los reptiles sinápsidos, más conocidos como reptiles mamiferoides. Vivió en el Pérmico inferior de Texas, Estados unidos. Era como un lagarto gigante que podía alcanzar los 3 metros de largo y tenía una gran cola. Tenía una gran cresta dorsal formada por apófisis vertebrales alargadas que usaba como arma intimidatoria, ya que medía más de 1 metro de altura. Esta cresta estaba recorrida por un montón de vasos sanguíneos, lo cual servía para regular la temperatura. Por la mañana, el Dimetrodon ponía su vela de cara al Sol para almacenar calor. Si un reptil de 250 kg (el peso aproximado del Dimetrodon) necesita tres horas para aumentar la temperatura corporal de 26 grados a 30 grados, el Dimetrodon, gracias a su cresta dorsal sólo tardaba 80 minutos

- Dimetrodon (meaning "two-measures tooth", in reference to the fact that unlike reptiles, the teeth differ in size.) is an extinct genus of terrestrial predatory synapsid ('mammal-like reptile') genus of pelycosaur that flourished during the Permian Period, living between 280–265 million years ago. Dimetrodon was the largest and most specialized pelycosaur, and remained the dominant carnivore of its environment. It was superseded by the eotitanosuchians and dinocephalian theraspids during the Roadian age. Dimetrodon first appeared in the late Paleozoic Era, and died out following the Permian-Triassic extinction event, 245 million years ago, which immediately preceded the Mesozoic Era. It was more closely related to mammals than to true reptiles such as lizards. When fully grown, Dimetrodon grew up to three meters (9.8 ft) or more and perhaps 150 kg (330 lb), with species varying in weight and size. Dimetrodon is an advanced member of the Sphenacodontid family, and may have evolved from an early Sphenacodon-like form (such as Sphenacodon ferox) during the Late Carboniferous or Early Permian (Gzhelian-Asselian) time. Iconic and well-known for its immediately recognizable "fin" or "sail" made up of elongate vertebral spines running along its back, up to a meter in length, and in life covered with a layer of skin and blood vessels and serving as a thermoregulatory structure for a heat-exchange mechanism. The sail may have also been used for mating and dominance rituals, and/or for making it look much larger than it was to predators. Despite popular belief, Dimetrodon was not a dinosaur. Rather, it is classified as a pelycosaur, and more closely related to mammals than to reptiles. Dimetrodon was the dominant predator in its environment for nearly twenty-five million years, during which time it evolved into about a dozen species, becoming steadily larger as time progressed. Dimetrodon fossils have been found in Early to Middle Permian deposits of a localized area in western equatorial Euramerica, now Oklahoma (Wellington Formation) and Texas. A significant find by Jerry MacDonald was the discovery of Dimetrodon footprints in southern New Mexico. Fragmentary remains have also been found in Europe.
- Dimetrodon was a famous sail-backed reptile that is often confused to be dinosaur, even though it was more closely related to mammals and lived millions of years before the first dinosaur. Dimetrodon was a mammal-like reptile (see Gorgonops), but one of the first. It was pelycosaur, the first type of mammal-like reptile known. The most obvious feature on Dimetrodon is the sail on its back. The sail could have been used for display to rivals and females. It was also used to gain heat from the sun, therefore making energy within Dimetrodon. It was like a solar panel. Another pelycosaur (Edaphosaurus) also had a sail, but was only distantly related to Dimetrodon.
- The dimetrodon is a three-part fossil that can be donated to the museum in Wild World, City Folk, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It can also be sold to Tom Nook's Store or Re-Tail for around 5,000 bells per section.

It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae.

More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first described in 1878. Dimetrodon is often mistaken for a dinosaur or as a contemporary of dinosaurs in popular culture, but it became extinct some 40 million years before the first appearance of dinosaurs. Reptile-like in appearance and physiology, Dimetrodon is nevertheless more closely related to mammals than to modern reptiles, though it is not a direct ancestor or descendant of mammals. Dimetrodon is assigned to a group traditionally called "mammal-like reptiles"—more recently termed "stem-mammals" or "non-mammalian synapsids". That is, many vertebrate paleontologists today group Dimetrodon together with mammals in an evolutionary group, or clade, called Synapsida, while they place dinosaurs with living reptiles and birds in a separate clade, Sauropsida. Single openings in the skull behind each eye, known as temporal fenestrae, and other skull features distinguish Dimetrodon and mammals from most of the earliest sauropsids. Dimetrodon was probably one of the top predators in Early Permian ecosystems, feeding on fish and tetrapods, including reptiles as well as amphibians. Smaller Dimetrodon species may have had different ecological roles. The sail of Dimetrodon may have been used to stabilize its spine or to heat and cool its body as a form of thermoregulation. Some recent studies argue that the sail would have been ineffective at removing heat from the body, and was most likely used in sexual display.
- The Dimetrodon is a large synapsid that appears in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and the Turok: Son of Stone movie. They are greatly oversized in Son of Stone.

Este calentamiento rápido era muy útil para el Dimetrodon, ya quepodía comenzar la caza casi 2 horas antes que el resto de reptiles. Asimismo esta cresta también le servía para reducir su tempertura. Para refrescarse, el animal buscaba un lugar sombrío o ponía la vela de cara al viento para que el aire le quitara el calor del cuerpo. Se cree que la presencia de cresta estaba relacionada con la aparición de animales de sangre caliente en el Pérmico superior. El Dimetrodon se alimentaba de anfibios como el Diadectes, así como de otras especies de pelicosaurios. Pero una presa en particular, el Edaphosaurus, desarrolló una vela dorsal para poder escapar antes del Dimetrodon. Esta competencia de especies las encerró en un callejón sin salida evolutivo, pues seguramente su especialización acabó con ambos. El Dimetrodon vivía en las orillas de ríos y lagos y en los bosques de coníferas y helechos arbóreos.

- Dimetrodon was one of the largest land animals and the apex predator of its time. Its diet could have included freshwater sharks, amphibians, reptiles and other amniotes. The amphibian Eryops and freshwater shark Xenacanthus were prey. Humeruses of Eryops and skulls of Xenacanthus were found to have teeth marks matching the shape of the teeth of Dimetrodon. It probably hunted based on sight and smell. Different types ranged in length from 2-5 metres (6.5-16 ft) and weighing 14 to 300 kilograms (31 to 660 lb). The structure of the bones indicate that it was cold-blooded and had low metabolism. There are few channels in the bones, which indicates limited circulation. For proper metabolism, it needed external heat. The growth pattern of Dimetrodon is unclear. Analysis based on the length and ossification of the thigh, the ulna and the humerus, shows a poor correlation between the size and relative age of individuals. There was a difference in habitat between juveniles and adults in Dimetrodon. Younger individuals lived mainly in habitats with plenty of shelter, such as swamps and reed-lined banks. The adults preferred the open areas of flood plains. This is the finding of fossils from the Wichita Group of Texas. The length of the upper arm and thigh, the main measure that was used to distinguish between young and adult specimens, were examined and it was determined what type of sediment the fossils occurred. A similar difference in distribution between young and adult specimens, was also found for Ophiacodon and Eryops and is also known from modern crocodiles and water turtles.

Fossils of Dimetrodon have been found in North America and Europe. The climate of Europe and North America in the Early Permian, was probably arid to continental, so Dimetrodon was probably adaptable.
