About Pliosaurs
Pliosaurs were not dinosaurs but large, carnivorous marine reptiles that thrived in prehistoric oceans. With immense skulls, powerful flippers, and streamlined bodies, they were built for speed and ambush hunting. Their vertebrae were highly adapted for strong and flexible swimming motions, making them formidable predators in their ecosystem.
