Description
Diplocaulus is an extinct genus of leponspondyl amphibian from the late Carboniferous to the late Permian period (roughly 270 million years ago). It was up to 1 meter ( 3.3 feet ) long. The wide head could have acted like a hydrofoil, helping the creature glide through the water. The shape was also defensive, since even a large predator, like Eryops, would have a hard time trying to swallow a creature with such a wide head.
