📌 Did you know?
👉 Elasmosaurus, a marine reptile from the Late Cretaceous period, around 80 million years ago, was a fascinating long-necked creature that resembled the mythical image of the Loch Ness Monster.
👉 Despite its serpent-like appearance, Elasmosaurus was not a dinosaur but rather a type of plesiosaur, a group of marine reptiles that lived during the age of dinosaurs.
👉 Elasmosaurus had an exceptionally long neck, with more than 70 vertebrae, making up about half of its body length. This adaptation likely allowed it to hunt for fish in a unique and efficient manner.
👉 Fossils of Elasmosaurus have been found in North America, particularly in places like Kansas and South Dakota, providing insights into the marine ecosystems of the Cretaceous period.
👉 The misconception of Elasmosaurus having its head at the end of a long neck in early reconstructions was corrected over time, as scientists realized that its actual anatomy placed the head close to the body, more like a swan than a snake.
