Antique Framed Print : Mosasaurus marine reptile
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Mosasaurus marine reptile
Mosasaurus. Artwork of a Mosasaurus marine lizard swimming underwater. This large carnivorous lizard was around 9 metres in length. Its anatomy was similar to present day monitor lizards, and it is considered a close relative. It inhabited the seas of the late Cretaceous period, from 100-65 million years ago. It would have fed on fish, but probably also hunted smaller marine reptiles. It used its tail for propulsion, steering with its limbs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the awe-inspiring Mosasaurus marine reptile, a formidable creature that once roamed the ancient seas during the late Cretaceous period. With its massive size of around 9 meters in length, this carnivorous lizard was a true predator of the ocean depths. The artwork beautifully captures the Mosasaurus swimming gracefully underwater, its sleek body and powerful tail propelling it through the water with ease. Resembling present-day monitor lizards in anatomy, this ancient reptile is considered a close relative to these modern creatures. With sharp teeth perfectly adapted for hunting, it is believed that the Mosasaurus primarily fed on fish but also had an appetite for smaller marine reptiles. Its open mouth in this illustration suggests it may have been chasing after its next meal with great determination. As we delve into paleontology and explore Earth's prehistoric past, images like this one allow us to envision these magnificent creatures as they once were. The extinct Mosasaurus serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and how life has evolved over millions of years. This remarkable print by Science Photo Library not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also ignites our curiosity about these fascinating creatures that ruled our oceans long before humans walked on land.
