EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Claus Lunau takes us back in time to witness the mesmerizing sight of Pleisiosaurs searching for food in a serene lake. These ancient aquatic reptiles, first discovered in the early 19th Century, thrived from around 200 million years ago until their unfortunate demise during the K-T extinction event approximately 65.5 million years ago. In this stunning illustration, we are transported to a prehistoric world where these long-throated dinosaurs gracefully navigate through the depths of the water. The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe every intricate feature of these majestic creatures. With their elongated necks and streamlined bodies, they effortlessly glide through the underwater landscape in search of sustenance. The artist's skillful depiction not only showcases the beauty and diversity of nature but also provides an educational insight into our planet's rich history. It serves as a reminder that life on Earth has evolved and adapted over millions of years, with species like Pleisiosaurs once dominating our oceans. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can't help but feel a sense of wonderment at these magnificent beings who roamed our planet so long ago.
