Pannoniasaurus
Pannoniasaurus was a mosasaur, a kind of marine lizard, but it lived in rivers, not the sea! It had a flat, crocodile-like skull and could grow up to 6 meters long. This unexpected hunter lived in what is now Hungary during the Late Cretaceous.1

Dintlha tse di monate
Pannoniasaurus is the first mosasauroid ever found that lived in freshwater, like a river dolphin.1
Its name means 'unexpected' because scientists were surprised to find a mosasaur in freshwater rocks.1
It had a flattened, violin-shaped snout and teeth with ridges, like a crocodile.1
Fossils of many individuals, from babies to adults, were found together in a flood deposit.1
Pannoniasaurus lived alongside dinosaurs, pterosaurs, turtles, and crocodiles in a tropical floodplain.1
Its tail was not flattened like other mosasaurs, so it probably swam more like a land lizard.1

?Was Pannoniasaurus a dinosaur?
No, it was a mosasaur, a kind of marine lizard, not a dinosaur.2
?How big was Pannoniasaurus?
It was a medium sized mosasaur, reaching up to 6 metres (20 feet) in length.2
?Did Pannoniasaurus live in the sea?
No, it lived in freshwater rivers and floodplains, unlike most other mosasaurs.1
?What did Pannoniasaurus eat?
It probably ate fish and other small animals in the rivers, based on its crocodile-like teeth and habitat.2
