Ogvorbis: broken and cynical says 5 November 2012 at 10:13 pm I am amazed at how often the same basic shape has evolved among the archosaurs. From pterosaurs to crocodylians to some of the ichthyosaurs.
Ragutis says 5 November 2012 at 10:29 pm Because all his/her relatives have been turned into shoes? I would’ve gone with this pic. It’s a gharial, Ichthy. But the linked article points out some good news for them.
echidna says 5 November 2012 at 10:50 pm Ragutis, If you had paused for a moment, you would have realised that Ichthyic is already quite informed. I like the pic that you pointed to, though.
Dick the Damned says 5 November 2012 at 11:03 pm Why the long face? Jumpin’ Jeezus, don’t you Americans know anything? Steve Harper’s currently in India, eh.

I’m impressed. That’s quite a face.

Why the long face? No dental insurance.
