Edaphosaurus With Large Sail and Curled Tail

An Edaphosaurus is drawn sideways on the page, with its big fan-shaped sail on one side and its long curling tail sweeping down toward the bottom corner. The sail is split into many narrow sections by lines running outward from the back, with a scalloped, bumpy edge. The head is lifted up and has one round eye and a small nostril. Fine lines mark the throat and belly, and short dashed marks run along the body. The front foot and back foot each show clawed toes. A large smooth leaf-like shape sits behind the animal. The name is printed in bubble letters along the left side, so kids can color it too. Try a different shade for each sail section, then talk about how this sail-backed reptile lived before the dinosaurs. This printable page works well for a quick dinosaur lesson or a quiet afternoon.
