Artist's reconstruction of Leanchoilia

Caption

An artist's depiction of a Kaili Leanchoilia showing its long scissor-like appendages situated behind sideward eyes on stubby stalks. Fourteen pairs of appendages likely served a double role – providing the animal with oxygen and allowing it to move about.
