The Plesiosaur Swimming Beneath Frozen Sea Ice
In cold prehistoric waters, a plesiosaur moves underneath a massive natural tunnel sculpted from sea ice sheets. Deep below the ice cover, the rippled seafloor features a weathered stone boulder alongside a large shell resting on the sandy bottom.
Survival of Marine Reptiles in Cold Prehistoric Seas
Some species of plesiosaurs inhabited high-latitude oceans where seasonal sea ice formed during cold winters. These marine reptiles possessed high metabolic rates that allowed them to stay active in near-freezing water temperatures while hunting for prey beneath floating ice fields.
