Dintlha tse monate
Styxosaurus had an extremely long neck, with over 60 vertebrae, making it one of the longest necks of any animal that ever lived.2
It lived in the Western Interior Seaway, a huge inland sea that split North America in two during the time of the dinosaurs.2
Some fossils of Styxosaurus were once thought to belong to a different animal called Hydralmosaurus, but scientists now think they are the same.2

Dipotso tse botswang haholo ka Styxosaurus
?How big was Styxosaurus?
About 11.3 metres (37 ft) long and weighed around 3.1 metric tons (3.4 short tons). Its neck alone was about 5.25 metres (17.2 ft) long.4
?What did Styxosaurus eat?
It ate fish, squid, and belemnites. It grabbed slippery prey with its sharp, interlocking teeth and swallowed it whole.4
?When did Styxosaurus live?
It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 100 to 72 million years ago.45
?Did Styxosaurus have a long neck?
Yes, it had an extremely long neck with over 60 vertebrae, making it one of the longest necks of any animal.42
?Is Styxosaurus a dinosaur?
No, it is a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea, not a dinosaur.4
