Chensaurus is one of the oldest known ichthyosaurs, living about 250 million years ago.4
It had a long, narrow body and a small caudal fin, which suggests it swam like an eel, not like a fish.1
Chensaurus had a high number of vertebrae in its body, which helped it move in a wavy, eel-like way.1
It is considered an evolutionary intermediate between land reptiles and later, more fish-like ichthyosaurs.1
The name Chensaurus was given in 1991, but some scientists think it is the same as another ichthyosaur called Chaohusaurus.2
