  • Hyneria means "from Hyner", as the first Hyneria fossils were found near Hyner, Pennsylvania.
  • Hyneria was a massive Devonian fish. It preyed on smaller fish, sharks and the first amphibians. Hyneria was a rhipidistian, aka lobe-finned fish. The fins of these fish are very land limb-like, and many people believe that lobe-finned fish like Hyneria were the ancestors to the amphibians. Hyneria could have lodged onto the land temporarily, catching land dwelling prey such as Hynerpeton. Lobe-finned fish were all-but extinct until the discovery of a coelacanth on the coast of Africa. The coelacanth is now a living fossil, and still has the lobe-fins creatures like Hyneria had.
  • Hyneria is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish from the Devonian period around 360 MYA.
  • <default>Hyneria</default> Expansion(s): Animal type: Conservation status: Biome: Diet: Performs in shows?: Hyneria was a large, lobe-finned fish that had strong fins like those of the modern day coelocanth. It could weigh two tons, and was probably around 4 meters long on average. They lived during the Late Devonian. Because they were so large, they probably were the apex predator of their wetland environment, preying on much smaller creatures like Stethacanthus.
  • Hyneria was an advanced predatory lobe-finned fish. It probably preyed on animals such as Hynerpeton and Stecanthus.
  • The Hyneria was a prehistoric predatory lobe-finned fish that lived during the Devonian period around 360 million years ago. Size estimates have placed the length of the animal anywhere from two or three meters and four meters. In life, Hyneria could have weighed as much as two tons. It has been theorized that the fins of Hyneria were strong enough for the creature to haul itself onto land. It may have "beached itself" by using an air bladder meant to maintain buoyancy as primitive set of lungs.
