A Biological Analysis of the ICHTHYOSAUR

There are countless interesting creatures seen in the world of Half-Life, Both terrestrial, and aquatic. The Ichthyosaur is an interesting life form which is seen in the few bodies of water seen throughout Half-life 1 and 2, and even with it's scarcity, we can still make out a good bit of how it may function in any given ecosystem, which is what this video aims to cover. While making this video I kind of noticed how this video partially mimiced the process of determining the biology and ecology of a species through a fossil record, which i found really fun to do! More like these will likely come in the future.
