Ancient Sea Creature Sucked In Prey
Article about the Dinocephalosaurus, a "marine reptile [that] used a neck nearly twice the length of its body to capture its prey, 230 million years ago. Fish saw only its small head in murky waters and, when they came too close, the animal quickly expanded its formidable throat to suck in its dinner." This creature belongs to a "little-known group called protorosaurs." Includes links to related sites. From the online version of New Scientist magazine.
