Mosasaurs were enormous marine reptiles that lived during the Cretaceous period. Their name comes from the Meuse River in the Netherlands, where the first fossils were discovered. These prehistoric creatures could measure up to 17 meters in length and were formidable predators, feeding on fish, molluscs and even other marine reptiles. With limbs transformed into fins and a powerful tail, they were perfectly adapted to life in the Mesozoic oceans. Despite their disappearance some 66 million years ago, Mosasaurs remain emblematic symbols of the evolution and diversity of marine reptiles.
