sammerhead halamander

beautiful sculpture of the extinct prehistoric salamander-like amphibian Diplocaulus inspired by the living matamata turtle, by the talented artist Goro Furuta, who deserves credit for his work & not to be used as a source of misinformation

No matter how many times this sculpture shows up on the internet though, I seldom see people notice that the artist borrowed a lot of inspiration from the modern day Matamata turtle, making his sculpture double as a hypothesis that they convergently evolved similar camouflage.
