That's pretty neat how many times long teeth like this has conveniently evolved over Earth's history. I would probably not have expected it from an anchovy though. Reminds me of that saber-toothed salmon too.

Also is it just me or is the artwork accompanying that article a totally decent meme format? I also find it quite interesting they depicted it being preyed upon, instead of taking the advantage to show it preying upon something else, even if might be cliche, but maybe props for doing this instead, and also showing an early whale to some extant which don't get enough attention as it is.

This gives a whole new twist when ordering anchovies on your next pizza.

Talk about 'Go home evolution. You are drunk.'

Reminds me of Sthugar from Wondershowzen.
