Hylonomus

Hylonomus

Hylonomus (hylo- "forest" + nomos "wanderer") was a very early reptile. It lived 312 million years ago during the Late Carboniferous period. As of 2006, it is the earliest confirmed reptile (Westlothiana is older, but may in fact be an amphibian). Hylonomus was 20 centimetres (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and likely ate small invertebrates such as millipedes or early insects.

Predatory tunicate

Predatory tunicates (Megalodicopia hians) are tunicates which live anchored along the deep sea canyon walls and seafloor, waiting for tiny animals to drift or swim into their hood-shaped mouths. Looking something like a cross between a jellyfish and a Venus Flytrap, its mouthlike hood is quick to close when a small animal drifts inside. Once the predatory tunicate catches a meal, it keeps its trap shut until it is ready to eat again.
