Mfundo zosangalatsa
Cartorhynchus is one of the oldest known ichthyosauriforms, a group that includes ichthyosaurs.1
It had a very short snout, only half the length of the rest of its skull.2
Its flippers were unusually large and curved, which might have helped it move on land.1
The only fossil found is a nearly complete skeleton, stored at the Anhui Geological Museum.2
It lived during the Early Triassic period, about 248 million years ago, in a warm tropical sea.1
Cartorhynchus had a very large hyoid bone in its throat, which helped it suck in food.2

Mafunso ofunsidwa kwambiri okhudza Cartorhynchus
?How big was Cartorhynchus?
About 40 centimetres long, which is about the size of a small lizard. It weighed around 2 kilograms.3
?Could Cartorhynchus walk on land?
Yes, scientists think it could walk a little on land, like a seal. Its large, flexible flippers and short body helped it move on land.31
?What did Cartorhynchus eat?
It ate hard-shelled animals like shrimp, using suction feeding to vacuum them up. It had special molar-like teeth inside its jaws to crush them.34
?When did Cartorhynchus live?
It lived about 248 million years ago, during the Early Triassic period, soon after the big Permian-Triassic extinction.3
