Like the Ophthalmosaurus, the Ophthacerapsis does not lay eggs. Instead, she births her young via live birth, similar to a mammal.

The Ophthacerapsis has exceptional eyesight, allowing it to more easily spot predators both on land and in the sea.

The Ophthacerapsis has a similar head shape to the Diploceraspis, with a unique skull shaped like a boomerang.

Though they are small, the teeth of the Ophthacerapsis are incredibly sharp. This allows it to easily devour fish and large insects at mealtime.
