Animal Facts-Tylosaurus Proriger

     Here's another post featuring a beast from the past. One thing that I've learned about these beasts is that their names are almost unpronounceable! So here's a creature called Tylosaurus Proriger.

  Tylosaurus Proriger was a carnivorous prehistoric animal that lived in the waters. These extinct creatures could get up to 45 ft. in length and lived in the late Cretaceous period. Tylosaurus Proriger came from the mosasaur family and were considered to be the most dangerous underwater creatures. This prehistoric animal used its snout to locate food. It had two rows of teeth in its mouth and ate mostly fish, birds, sharks and other mosasaurs. The females gave live birth to a 2- 6 ft. baby Tylosaurus Proriger.

Here's a picture of Tylosaurus Proriger.
