Period: Late Cretaceous (82 - 66 million years ago)
Range: Oceans worldwide
Habitat: Wide range of marine environments (shallow coastal waters, open ocean, some freshwater habitats)
Size: 1 - 15 metres in length
Diet: Carnivorous
While some species only grew to around 3 ft in length, the biggest, Tylosaurus, could be over 50 ft. They swam using a shark-like tail fin, and had flipper-like limbs for manoeuvrability. Stomach contents of mosasaurs have revealed a varied diet, including fish, sea turtles, plesiosaurs and even sea birds. It is also believed that their jaws could expand like a snake, allowing them to swallow large prey whole. Although mosasaurs are aquatic, they still breathed air like all reptiles and had to regularly surface to take a breath.
