Paraplacodus
Paraplacodus was a small marine reptile that lived in the sea during the Middle Triassic, about 247 to 237 million years ago. It looked a bit like a scaly newt and used its special teeth to crunch shellfish on the seabed.23

Mfundo zosangalatsa
Paraplacodus had three pairs of protruding teeth in the top jaw and two rows in the front, perfect for grabbing shellfish.2
Its thick ribs formed a box-like ribcage with an almost square cross-section, helping it stay near the seabed while hunting.2
It belonged to a group called placodonts, and most were either unarmored like a newt or heavily armored like a turtle. Paraplacodus was unarmored.2
Recent research suggests Paraplacodus did not only eat hard-shelled animals, but also small, raspberry-shaped macroalgae.2
The name Paraplacodus means 'near Placodus', because it looked similar to another placodont called Placodus.2

Mafunso ofunsidwa kwambiri okhudza Paraplacodus
?How big was Paraplacodus?
It was a small reptile, measuring about 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) in total body length.2
?What did Paraplacodus eat?
It mostly ate shellfish, using its front teeth to pick them up and back teeth to crush their shells. Recent research also suggests it ate small, raspberry-shaped macroalgae.2
?Was Paraplacodus a dinosaur?
