    The only niche I can really see these things filling is some sort of shoreline fish-nabber, and that's weird, because I don't think we have any big carnivores that do anything like that. I mean, sure, bears fish for salmon, but they're not adapted to do only that.

    Maybe a possible parallel is Pakicetus.

    He didn't need to swim. He used the spine for a sail.

    The water is just not deep enough.
