see monsters are considered to be
mythical creatures at the center of tall

monsters lurking in Earth’s prehistoric
seas monsters called

ancient marine reptiles that first
appeared about 215 million years ago
they belonged in the order please yo
Soria which is divided into two groups
the long-necked plesiosaurs and the
short-necked pliosaurus plesiosaurs were
massive animals they grew up 243 feet
long with large bodies and small
triangular heads with smooth sharp teeth
their most signature feature was their
long necks spanning half the length of
their body sleaziest sore necks had up
to seventy six distinct vertebrae over
ten times more than that found in humans
older depictions portray these necks as
willowy and snake light but recent
discoveries have shown that they were in
fact relatively stiff
this allowed the Plesiosaurus to stay
streamlined while swimming or while
hunting fish squid and clams
well the plesiosaurs evolved long nets
and small heads their playas or cousins
went the opposite direction their necks
were short and their heads were large
measuring up to ten feet long but much
like Plesiosaurus pliosaurus were
massive growing up to fifty feet long
and weighing almost 100,000 pounds
despite their large size
pliosaurus were excellent swimmers
capable of reaching speeds near 10
kilometers per hour their speed along
with their great size allowed pliosaurus
to become ferocious predators devouring
large marine animals and even other
pleaseyou Soria despite their
differences pliosaurus and plesiosaurs
shared a few key features that were
characteristic of the genus plesiosaur
iya
they used all four of their flippers to
swim in a form of underwater flight
similar to the movement of a dragonfly
and while they spent their entire lives
in the sea
please iya Soares had no gills rather
there were air breathers coming up to
the surface for oxygen before every dive
by about 66 million years ago these
powerful predators died out but today
they continued to be points of
fascination inspiring legends as grand as the monsters themselves
