Keichosaurus Hui was a small aquatic reptile that lived in the swamps, marshes and other waterways of Guizhou, China. It became extinct during the Triassic period.
They had sharp teeth and their main diet consisted of small fish. These small creatures were not only swift swimmers, they could also crawl out of the water. There is also evidence to suggest Keichosaurus gave birth to live young, as opposed to laying eggs. Many times, a skeletal plate will be discovered almost entirely intact. This is one of the reasons Keichosaurus Hui specimens are so highly collectable.
