Himalayasaurus
Himalayasaurus was a giant marine reptile that swam in the warm seas of the Late Triassic, about 215 million years ago. It was not a dinosaur, but a type of ichthyosaur, with a long body, flippers, and a fish-like tail. It was a fierce predator that hunted other sea creatures.1

Prettige feite
Himalayasaurus could grow over 15 metres (49 feet) long, which is longer than a school bus.1
Its teeth had special cutting edges, a feature not seen in most other ichthyosaurs, which helped it slice through prey.1
It lived in the ocean, not on land, and likely swam using its powerful flippers and tail.1
Himalayasaurus is known from only a few bones, including teeth, limb bones, and vertebrae, found in Tibet.1
It belonged to a group called Shastasauridae, which included other giant ichthyosaurs like Shonisaurus.1
