Boomerang Head
By Mark Flippo
Diplocaulus had a stocky, salamander-like body, but was relatively large, reaching up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. Its most distinctive features were the long protrusions on the sides of its skull, giving the head a boomerang shape. Judging from its weak limbs and relatively short tail, it is presumed to have swum with an up-and-down movement of its body, similar to modern whales and dolphins. The wide head could have acted like a hydrofoil, helping the creature glide through the water. Another possibility is that the shape was defensive, since even a large predator would have a hard time trying to swallow a creature with such a wide head.
I wonder how many different creatures have occupied this earth at one time or another? It just blows my mind. He ends one species and starts another. I am in Wonder of a Mighty God who never stops amazing us! Have you ever just sat back and marveled at His creation. He is a fantastic God! He loves each one of us. He does not like everything we do. I am so proud to know Him! How about you? What are your thoughts of Him? Do you think of Him day and night? Do you take time everyday and Thank Him and Praise Him? If you do not, you should. He is worthy of more than anything we could ever say or do!
