Mfundo zosangalatsa
Thalassiodracon had a skull only 17 cm (6.7 in) long, but its neck was 75.5 cm (2 ft 5.7 in) long.1
Its eyes were large and had flat scleral rings, which helped it see in dark, deep water.1
Thalassiodracon was warm-blooded, like modern mammals, and had a high metabolism for an active lifestyle.1
It gave birth to live young, not eggs, just like many modern sharks and some reptiles.1
The teeth of Thalassiodracon were constantly replaced in a wave pattern, with every third tooth being replaced at a time.1
Its forelimbs were shorter than its hindlimbs, which scientists think helped it chase prey with speed and strength.1

It lived during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic periods, about 201 to 196 million years ago.1

- The first fossils were found by Thomas Hawkins in Somerset, England in the early 1830s. Richard Owen named it Plesiosaurus hawkinsii in 1838, and it was given its own genus Thalassiodracon by Storrs and Taylor in 1996.1

- Scientists are still debating whether Thalassiodracon was an ancestor of the short-necked pliosaurs or a more primitive plesiosaur.1
