Ocean ichthyosaur gliding over giant seabed shells
An ichthyosaur swims underwater across a smooth ocean floor composed of fine sand. Below the sleek sea reptile, large prehistoric shells lie distributed across the sea bottom.
Unique characteristics of ichthyosaurs
Despite looking remarkably similar to modern dolphins, ichthyosaurs were actually marine reptiles that adapted completely to life in the open ocean. They had large eyes protected by bony rings, enabling them to hunt prey in deep, dimly lit ocean waters.
