"Laggania cambria" was a species of Anomalocarid that lived in the Cambrian period. Unlike most other anomalocarids, Laggania was thought to be a filter feeder rather that a carnivore. Its two mouth appendages had long bristle-like spines. Laggania had no fan tail, and its short stalked eyes were behind its mouth appendages, another reason why scientists don't think Laggania was a ruthless hunter, but rather the whale of its time- 530 million years ago.
