Anomalocaris - Sea Monster

540 Million Years Ago.
Footage from the 2011 documentary, "Earth: Making of a Planet".
Imagine cameras have been around since the creation of Earth to record every major event. Take a photographic journey thorough time from the violent birth of our planet four and a half billion years ago, through ice-ages, massive volcanic eruptions and the dinosaurs' reign to the first humans. For the first time, see the incredible story of our planet unfold in one single, seamless camera move.

This thing evolved one of the worlds first eyes, most other creatures were blind or didn't have the type of 'vision' that humans understand. It was so easy for it to spot prey and just attack it since its one of the only creatures that could actually see prey.

Ya know, how the narrator says that life just went from small microscopic bacteria to complex life during the cambrian explosion like this isn't really true. Before the cambrian, there's the ediacaran period, which also has it's explosion of complex life. So basically the cambrian's not the period that bacteria just suddenly became complex organisms.

Could it be that the occipital spines found so frequently on Cambrian trilobites were a defense mechanism against some sort of anomalocarid.
