Скачать или смотреть Plesiosuchus: The Largest Prehistoric Sea Croc

Plesiosuchus was a one of the largest predators which inhabited the seas over what would become Europe during the Late Jurassic Period. It was a thalattosuchian, an obscure group of marine reptiles distantly related to crocodilians. While many thalattosuchian looked much like modern crocodilians, Plesiosuchus's branch of Thalattosuchia, Metriorhynchidae, was completely aquatic. Plesiosuchus is the largest known species of these sea crocs, and with deep skull filled with large, serrated teeth, was one of the top predators of its environment.
