Dimetrodon is a prehistoric reptile,a synapsid from the permian. The animal was present in the first park and was cloned almost by accidemnt. But as it was cloned it was found to valuable to be terminated. Hammond wanted that this animal is included in the park and therefore 10 were bred on Isla sorna. The animal however proofed difficult to handle.Not only is this animal incredibly fast o short distances, it also carries a deadly cocktail of bacteria in its saliva. Its enormous canince teeth are designed o pierce and rip through flesh. The saliva in the anmals mouth can lead to terrible infections and one of the keepers who first handled these animals was bitten and his arm had to be amputated. Even small dimetrodons hav the septic bite. It is able to burst incredibly fast to its prey,like a monitor lizard, the animal is able to charge over small distaces. The animals colouration is green with a yellow sail . When attacked, the animal hisses and shows its sail. In the wild, these animals can be found on Isla Nublar where a stable ecosystem has evolved and they were also present in a very small population on Isla Sorna where they seem to have been gone extinct due o the small population size. Dimetrodons bite is very strong it usually holds its prey and shakes it to death. Male dimetrodons are bigger than females. The parks species is D. grandis which shows a big sail on its back. It has been reported that the animals also uses its sail to warm itself in the early morning hours giving it the edge over smaller reptiles which are its usual prey. However it has also been reported that dimetrodon also hunts smaller dinosaurs from time to time. On Nublar dimetrodons can be found in the jungle areas. In the morning they search for warm places like clearing or stone cliffs where they can be warmed by the sun. Due to he dangerous bite, dimetrodon is usually safe from predaors, even rapors stay away from this animal. Keepers found out that dimetrodon is best to handle when feeded. If it has eaten keepers coudl actually get very close to the animal, when not fell threatened by the keepers it even allowed them to tap them as one of the keepers said. When hun gry however, it is the exact opposite. As the biggest predator in its past environment, dimetrodon fears nearly nothin. In the new park, these animals will be present with 4 individuals. The Dna was lost in the 1993 incident and an expedition to Isla Nublar with the goal to catch a dimetrodon and taking blood samples from it was succesfully undertaken in 2011. Dimetrodon grows very fast and males start to fight with each other over females quite early. They avoid biting each other, their claws however still can lead to injuries. The up to 300 kg heavy animal likes to rest in the shadows in the mid day heat as reported by inGen scientists and is most acive between 7:30am and 7:00 pm.In the night, these animals sleep in the jungle. They are usually solitary animals and males are very agrressive towards each other. Females lay up to 10 eggs and nurse for ca 2-3 weeks for their young before they leave ther mother. It has also been reported that older males have bigger sails and often carry battle scars from their fight with other males. To humans, this animal is usually not aggressive but it can see a human as a possible food scource and wont hesitate attacking a human if it is very hungryExperiments to try and tame this animal have been unsuccessful.
