ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Clidastes had special vertebrae that locked together, making its spine strong and stable for fast swimming.1

It was one of the smallest mosasaurs, only 2 to 4 meters long on average, but some grew up to 6.2 meters.1

Isotope studies on its teeth suggest Clidastes sometimes entered freshwater, like modern sea snakes.1

The first Clidastes fossils were found in Alabama in 1869 by E. D. Cope, and they were beautifully preserved.1

Its tail had extra-strong bones and muscles, which helped it chase down the fastest prey.1

Some scientists think that only one species, Clidastes propython, is valid, but others recognize more.1
