Plesiosaur
Plesiosaur, artwork. Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles that inhabited the seas throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They were not dinosaurs, despite living at the same time. It is thought that they fed mainly on fish. They breathed air, like modern turtles, and may have returned to beaches to lay their eggs. The largest plesiosaurs reached up to 15 metres in length. Plesiosaur fossils have been found in Europe, Australia and North America

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Plesiosaur, a remarkable marine reptile that once roamed the seas during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Despite coexisting with dinosaurs, these creatures were not classified as such. With their elongated necks and powerful flippers, they navigated through the depths of ancient oceans in search of prey. Believed to have primarily fed on fish, these air-breathing reptiles shared similarities with modern-day turtles and may have returned to beaches for egg-laying purposes. The largest specimens measured an astonishing 15 meters in length, making them formidable predators of their time. Plesiosaur fossils have been discovered across Europe, Australia, and North America, providing valuable insights into our planet's prehistoric past. This stunning computer artwork beautifully captures the essence of this extinct creature's underwater existence. As we delve into paleontology and biology through this mesmerizing image from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Earth's diverse fauna throughout history. Let us marvel at nature's wonders and appreciate the intricate details preserved within each fossilized relic.
