Tiktaalik had internal and external nostrils and a neck, with the pectoral girdle separate from the skull. This would give the creature more freedom in hunting prey either on land or in the shallows.
There are. Seahorses have a neck the can bend upside down and that lets them feed the the way they do.
and they are so gorgeous, this time for real.
I don´t know how far is the skull of Seahorses form their pectoral girdle, looking to them moving it seems that they are pretty well far to give their necks the right to be considered real necks.
