Description
Hupehsuchus feeding on zooplankton by utilizing speculative baleen. Earlier this month, a paper released suggesting this strange, basal Ichthyosauromorph from the Early Triassic was the earliest known marine tetrapod to filter feed and I wanted to bring more attention to it. Cool stuff! (Originally posted on August 9th on Twitter.)
