Edaphosaurus was one of the earliest mammal-like reptile, namely a Pelycosaur. Dimetrodon was a carnivourus pelycosaur, and had many similiarities with Edaphosaurus, including a sail fin. This fin was likely used in attracting a mate, a flashy display to ward off predators and to control its temperature. Plants aren't easy to digest, but Edaphosaurus evolved a stomach that could cope with such hard material. It also swallowed stones to help the digestion process."@en . . "200"^^ . . . .
