They were marine reptiles who lived in the sea.

In comparison to dinosaurs that lived on land, they lacked hips and legs.

Plesiosaurus had flippers like a sea turtle and use them to paddle through the water.

Plesiosaurus were predators.

They preyed on fish and other sea reptiles.

They went extinct around 60 million years ago, near the end of the Cretaceous period.

Plesiosaurus fossils have been discovered in Wales as one of the largest reptile fossils.
