Mfundo zosangalatsa
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

- Scientists debate whether Himalayasaurus is a valid genus or a nomen dubium (dubious name), because the fossils are fragmentary and lack unique features, except for the cutting edges on its teeth.1
