Mosasaurs were a group of large, predatory marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, between approximately 70 and 66 million years ago. They were related to modern-day snakes and lizards and were among the top predators in the marine ecosystem of their time.
Mosasaurs were well adapted for life in the water. They had streamlined bodies, paddle-like limbs, and powerful tails. They were able to swim swiftly and efficiently and could reach lengths of up to 50 feet (15 meters) or more. Mosasaurs were carnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey including fish, ammonites, turtles, and other marine reptiles.
The most famous species of mosasaur is probably Mosasaurus itself, which was first discovered in the Netherlands in the late 18th century. Mosasaurus was a large, formidable predator that could grow up to 50 feet in length and had a set of sharp, interlocking teeth that it used to catch and kill its prey.
