Like its contemporary, Anomalocaris, Opabinia had segmented lobes on the sides of its body and a tail-fan, both presumably used for swimming. However, there are also important differences: Opabina was much smaller at 1½ to 2¾ inches (4 to 7 centimeters) in length, it had five eyes, and it had a very long hollow proboscis ending in a claw-like structure.
