Diplocaulis
Diplocaulus (meaning "double stalk") was not a
dinosaur but an early amphibian, now extinct. It was distinguished by its
boomerang-shaped head which was formed by two elongated bones at the back of the
head. It had four short legs, and a short, flattened tail. It was about 3 feet
(1 m) long.
Its unusually-shaped head may have made it difficult for predators, such as
Eryops, to swallow it. Its head also may have been used as a hydrofoil, letting
Diplocaulus swim against the current. It may have used its tail to help it swim.
