Description
Elasmosaurus was a large species of plesiosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period of North America. In that time, North America was split by a large open sea, called the Western Interior Seaway, in which many marine reptiles lived. The neck of Elasmosaurus was very long; possible the longest neck in the animal kingdom, consisting of 72 vertebrae! As falsely depicted on many paintings and illustrations, Elasmosaurus wasn’t capable of lifting its head far above the water level. Most likely, Elasmosaurus used its neck for hunting fish around rocky reefs or for lunging at large schools of fish.
