Eukritta- Beast of the Week

 This week we will be checking out a beast that is named after one of the most iconic movie monsters.  Watch out for Eucritta melanolimnetes!Eucritta was an early tetrapod (animal with four limbs or that evolved from a four limbed ancestor...basically any vertebrate that's not a fish) that lived in what is now Scotland during the Carboniforous period, between 344 and 331 million years ago.  It measured about 10 inches (25.4cm) long from snout to tail and would have been a meat-eater when alive.
