Nothosaurus

Description

Check out this Nothosaurus toy dinosaur from Schleic. Each dinosaur is the perfect size for playing. Some with movable lower jaws!

Nothosaurus was slender and it had webbed and long toes, which helped it in swimming, and there is a possibility that it had a fin on its tail (like other members of sauropterygia). The skull was flat and broad and the jaws were long that contained needle-like teeth. Its body structure was considered to be quite similar to many later plesiosaurs, but it is believed that it was not well-adapted to marine environments. Other nothosaurs were known to have a long neck, thus, it is predicted that this reptile also had a long neck. Being a marine reptile, it might have had a piscivore diet, that is, it fed on fish and other marine animals. It is believed by some researchers, that once caught by the jaws of this animal, it would have been difficult for the prey to free themselves from its mouth.
