Thalassiodracon was a small, fast-swimming marine reptile that lived in the seas around what is now England. It had a short neck, big eyes, and long teeth, and it hunted fish and squid-like animals.1

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

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