Description
As pliosaurs go, Attenborosaurus was an anomaly: most of these marine reptiles were characterized by their large heads and short necks, but Attenborosaurus, with its extremely long neck, looked more like a plesiosaur. This pliosaur also had a limited number of massive teeth, which it presumably used to chow down on fish during the early Jurassic period. When it was first discovered, Attenborosaurus was thought to be a species of Plesiosaurus. Long after the original fossil was destroyed in a bombing raid on England during World War II, a study of a plaster cast showed it to belong to its own genus, which was named after the British documentary filmmaker Sir David Attenborough in 1993.
