- Cuddly prehistoric pal
Adopt a cuddly fossil friend today with Paleozoic Pals from the Paleontological Research Institution. The Paleozoic is the era before dinosaurs, during which animal life first diversified in the seas, and eventually came ashore to become land vertebrates. Great for fossil-lovers of all ages, this soft Dimetrodon is 21" long and ready to leap into your arms. Dimetrodon is often mistaken for a dinosaur, but it is actually much more closely related to mammals! It belongs to a group of animals called synapsids, which are distinguished from reptiles by their skull features.
