Falchirus

This creature from the Holocene epoch had three enormous hook-like claws on each limb, which would've made simply walking a difficult task. And running? Forget it! Instead, Falchirus spent most of its time underwater where its giant claws wouldn't get in the way.
Falchirus' unusual teeth make it hard to tell what exactly it ate, but its trademark claws point to a predatory lifestyle. Indeed it is thought to have been an ambush hunter, lying in wait at the bottom of a lake or river with its feet hooked onto a sunken log or rock as an anchor, and swiftly grabbing prey unfortunate to waltz in front of it. Falchirus' long neck would also have allowed it to reach the surface to breath without exposing its entire body.
