Halosaur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (374 words)
As the family Halosauridae , halosaurs are one of two families within the order Notacanthiformes; the other being the deep-sea spiny eels. Like other notacanthiform fish, halosaurs are able to regenerate their tails easily if lost. This adaptation can be likened to certain terrestrial reptiles such as the glass lizard, which sacrifices its tail in order to evade predators.
