Yes, and not only animals, but also the famous explosion of life. The Chengjiang fauna that lived 530 million years ago was the protagonist of the explosion of life. This explosion lasted for 10 to 20 million years and included more than 200 species. Moreover, the creatures at that time were really strange. For example, the following three:
↑The "Spiny Centipede" of the Weird Bug turns out to be a bit cute after being cartoonized
Just from the name, you can tell how weird this Weird Bug is. The research process of this animal is also very tortuous. Scientists not only turned its head and tail upside down, but even turned it upside down, thinking that it walked "on stilts" with the hard spines on its back, so they called it The "grotesque bug" actually walks on soft fleshy legs.
↑The claw limbs of Anomalocaris can be bent to capture prey, and its diet may even include hard trilobites
Anomalocaris can also be seen from its name The word "Qi" is special, which means strange shrimp. It is currently the largest known animal in the Cambrian period. It can generally grow to 1 meter in length and can grow up to 2 meters in length. It is a carnivore that lives in the ocean and is also the ocean overlord of the Cambrian period. However, Anomalocaris has nothing to do with modern shrimps!
↑The weird Obabin sea scorpion
The appearance of the Obabin sea scorpion is truly worthy of the word "weird", or rather weird, this little animal is not very long. It's 10 centimeters tall, but it has 5 eyes! And its mouth is sticking out, yes it’s the one in the lower left corner of the picture.
In addition to these, the Chengjiang fauna also includes the cactus worm with thorns all over its body, the linchouli worm with a "whip", etc. It is recommended that the author of the question learn about it, it is very interesting.
