👉 Rynchops is a genus of extinct mammals known from fossil records dating back to the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 million years ago. They are characterized by their long necks, short limbs, and large skulls with four long, curved tusks. Rynchopods were primarily aquatic animals that lived in shallow freshwater lakes and rivers, often associated with the aquatic life of prehistoric oceans.
