Prettige feite
Suevoleviathan had unusually large front flippers compared to other ichthyosaurs, which it used for slow swimming.1
Its tail was very long and flexible, helping it steer at high speeds.1
The front flipper had three main fingers and one extra finger, with the third finger splitting into three rays.1
Scientists think Suevoleviathan gave birth to live young, like other ichthyosaurs.2
Its fossils were found in the Posidonia Shale, a rock layer famous for well-preserved Jurassic sea creatures.13
Suevoleviathan lived about 183 to 182 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic period.1
