Life reconstruction of Ankylorhiza tiedemani
- ... that the forward-facing incisors of the extinct dolphin Ankylorhiza (restoration pictured) may have been used to ram feed on prey, similar to a hunting method used by modern orcas? Source: "The enigmatic procumbent incisor tusks may be related to intraspecific combat or prey ramming behavior" "Fossils of Ankylorhiza have not yet revealed evidence of sexual dimorphism, and perhaps procumbent incisor tusks were used during prey ‘‘ramming’’ (e.g., 29) rather than combat as in ziphiids." Boessenecker et al., (2020)
