I’m doing my best

And the wrong side of the ocean’s surface, looks like 🤔

Almost every depiction of Anomalocaris, particularly in those CGI documentaries, make members of this genus look like enormous hideous sea monsters.

But in reality, these things are small, all less than 40 cm (like the largest ones are slightly more than a foot for us in the USA).

Giants of that era I guess and certainly an order of magnitude or more larger than superficially similar modern day relatives like sea monkeys and fairy shrimp. But they’re like the size of a lobster, we’d probably be eating them to extinction these days if they weren’t already extinct.

Thanks for ruining my day.

I think my “cat” has a good chunk of Anomalocaris genes.

Well, I’m crocheting one so joke’s on you :)

Not with that attitude, I won’t.

Best I can do is a big GMO prawn with no legs

That looks like a chelicerate from subnautica.

Edit: okay no it actually doesn’t, but also yeah it fucking does.
