2. Impressive Size: Mosasaurus could grow up to 50 feet (15 meters) long, making it one of the largest marine reptiles of its time.
3. Adapted for Hunting: It had a long, streamlined body and powerful tail, which made it an efficient swimmer and a formidable predator in the ancient seas.
4. Double-Hinged Jaws: Like modern snakes, Mosasaurus had double-hinged jaws that allowed it to swallow large prey whole.
5. Sharp Teeth: Its teeth were conical and serrated, ideal for gripping and slicing through the flesh of its prey, which included fish, squid, and even other marine reptiles.
6. Global Distribution: Fossils of Mosasaurus have been found in Europe, North America, and Africa, indicating a wide distribution across ancient seas.
7. Nostrils Placement: Unlike most marine reptiles, Mosasaurus had its nostrils positioned far back on its head, close to its eyes, which might have helped it breathe more easily while swimming near the surface.
8. Flexible Body: Its flexible body allowed for agile movements, helping it to swiftly catch prey and navigate through complex underwater environments.
9. Evolving from Land: Mosasaurus evolved from land-dwelling lizards, adapting over time to life in the water, which is evident from its limb structure that transformed into flippers.
10. In Popular Culture: Mosasaurus gained widespread recognition from its appearance in the “Jurassic World” movies, where it is depicted as a gigantic and fearsome marine predator.
