Mosasaurs - The largest lizards ever!



Amazing! 

The largest lizards ever were Mossasaurs, huge reptiles that swam in the sea. They were real sea monsters - ten metres long with huge mouth, and they looked like dragons! They probably ate anything they could catch.

Were there dinosaurs in the sea?




Were there dinosaurs in the sea?



No. All dinosaurs lived on land, but there was a variety of strange reptiles that swam in the seas in dinosaur times. Ichthyosaurs were strong swimming reptiles that looked like dolphins and could breathe air. They probably hunted in packs, feeding on fish and squid.

Dinosaurs only lived on land?







Is it true? 








Yes. They were adapted for life on land because they walked with straight legs tucked underneath their bodies, as we do. This gave them an advantage over other animals and helped them dominate the land.

Some Dinosaurs ate Stones?








Yes. Plant eaters swallowed stones called gastroliths, to help grind down tough plant food inside their stomachs. Gastroliths were up to 10 cm across!
