Often referred to simply as a \"mosasaur\" or \"Meuse lizard\" due to its initial discovery near the Meuse River, its scientific name is Mosasaurs Hoffmann. This formidable marine reptile, belonging to the family Mosasauridae, was not a dinosaur but a type of aquatic squamate, closely related to modern-day monitor lizards and snakes. These incredible creatures were masters of their marine environment, flourishing in the warm, shallow epicontinental seas that once covered vast portions of Earth, including what is now North America and Europe. Fossil evidence, including well-preserved skulls and even stomach contents, reveals a diverse diet for these powerful hunters, ranging from fish and ammonites to sharks, seabirds, and even other mosasaurs, indicating their crucial role as oceanic leviathans in the Cretaceous food web. Their robust jaws and powerful teeth, with some species even possessing specialized blunt teeth for crushing shelled prey, underscore their predatory prowess. Mosasaurs and its relatives experienced a rapid diversification, adapting to various ecological niches before their eventual extinction during the cataclysmic Cretaceous-Paleogene event, alongside their terrestrial dinosaur counterparts. Exploring these magnificent ancient sea monsters provides fascinating insights into prehistoric marine life and the dynamic ecosystems of a bygone era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Imagine one of these fierce creatures the size of a school bus! Dunkleosteus may have been cannibalistic, eating members of its own species. Dunkleosteus evolved in the Silurian Period and became extinct in the Late Devonian (the Devonian was the great age of fishes). It seems to have been a voracious predator, an eating machine that practically knew no bounds. The fossil record suggests that it often ate so much that it regurgitated partially-digested fish when it was over-filled or got indigestion. Although it had no teeth, Dunkleosteus had razor-like, bony jaws that were self-sharpening. That, coupled with its strong jaws made it easy for Dunkleosteus to slice into its prey - often creatures that were much larger than itself. Experts believe that only T-Rex and alligators have had the jaw-strength of this underwater predator. It was an interesting early \"experiment,\" but it failed over time. Although Dunkleosteus lived for about 60 million years, sharks have lived for about 400 million years.

Often described as a \"living fossil,\" this elusive predator is the only extant member of the family Mitsukurinidae, a lineage dating back approximately 125 million years. While primarily known as the goblin shark, it is occasionally referred by common names such as the elfin shark, or in Japanese as tenguzame, a reference to a long-nosed mythical creature. If you are researching prehistoric sharks still in existence or the unique biodiversity of the benthopelagic zone, the goblin shark serves as a primary example of specialized deep-water adaptation. These rare pink sharks are most famous for their elongated, flattened snouts and highly protrusible jaws, which can snap forward at lightning speed to capture prey—a mechanism often called slingshot feeding. For students of ichthyology and marine biology, it is important to note that their distinct pinkish hue is not due to pigment but rather the visibility of blood vessels through their translucent skin. Living at depths ranging from 800 to over 4,000 feet, these nocturnal deep-sea predators rely on a high density of ampullae of Lorenzini to detect the electrical fields of teleost fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans in total darkness. Whether you are searching for information on rare elasmobranchs or interested in oceanic conservation and deep-sea exploration, the goblin shark remains a symbol of the mysteries hidden within the world's submarine canyons and continental slopes. Despite their alien appearance, they are classified as \"Least Concern\" by the IUCN, largely due to their remote and vast habitat across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Understanding the survival of this ancient shark lineage provides vital insights into the resilience of life within the planet’s most extreme and inhospitable underwater environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Known by various common names depending on the specific region and species—such as the Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), the white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus), or the massive Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso)—these fish are easily identified by their elongated bodies and rows of bony plates called scutes. If you are researching freshwater fish conservation or the lifespan of ancient river monsters, understanding the sturgeon's unique biology is essential. These anadromous fish species possess a shark-like heterocercal tail and sensitive, whisker-like barbels near their toothless, vacuum-like mouths, which they use to forage along the murky benthos. As bottom-dwelling river giants, they thrive in diverse environments ranging from the Great Lakes to the deep coastal waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. For those interested in wildlife photography of endangered fish or migratory patterns of sturgeon, it is fascinating to note that some individuals can live for over a century and grow to more than fifteen feet in length. Despite their resilience, many populations are now classified as critically endangered due to overfishing and habitat fragmentation caused by dams. Protecting critical spawning habitats in major river systems like the Columbia or the Danube is a primary focus for modern biodiversity preservation efforts. Whether you are a student of ichthyology and aquatic ecology or a nature enthusiast looking for facts about the world's largest freshwater fish, the sturgeon remains a symbol of evolutionary endurance. Their slow maturation and infrequent spawning cycles make them highly vulnerable, highlighting the urgent need for global marine and riverine ecosystem management to ensure these majestic giants continue to cruise our waterways for generations to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Often referred to by common names such as the buzzsaw shark, spiral-tooth fish, or whorl-tooth shark, this ancient predator dominated the oceans during the Permian and Early Triassic periods. If you are a fan of paleontology and fossil hunting, you likely recognize this animal by its iconic spiral tooth whorl, a bizarre dental structure that puzzled scientists for over a century. Despite its shark-like appearance, modern research into extinct cartilaginous fish reveals that the Helicoprion is actually more closely related to modern ratfish and chimaeras within the subclass Holocephali. For those researching ancient ocean predators, the mechanics of its jaw are a primary point of fascination; the circular saw of teeth was housed entirely within the lower jaw, functioning as a high-efficiency slicing tool. As a top-tier Permian predator, it likely reached lengths of 20 to 25 feet, specializing in hunting soft-bodied cephalopods like prehistoric squid. While wildlife photography of a living specimen is impossible, the high concentration of fossils found in the Phosphoria Formation of Idaho has made it a legendary subject for museum exhibits and prehistoric recreations. Understanding the Permian-Triassic extinction event provides crucial context for why these massive \"buzzsaw\" hunters eventually vanished from the fossil record. Whether you are a student of evolutionary biology or an enthusiast of deep-sea fossil mysteries, the Helicoprion remains a captivating example of nature's experimental anatomy. Protecting the integrity of paleontological dig sites ensures that we continue to uncover secrets about this magnificent extinct marine species and its role in the complex food webs of the ancient world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Commonly known by nicknames such as the bulldog fish or the X-fish, this massive predator earned its reputation due to its incredibly fierce appearance and upturned, fang-filled lower jaw. If you are researching extinct marine monsters, understanding the biology of this ancient predatory fish is essential for grasping the scale of prehistoric marine ecosystems. These giants, often reaching lengths of up to 20 feet, thrived in the Western Interior Seaway, a massive body of water that once divided North America. For enthusiasts of paleontology and fossil hunting, the most famous discovery associated with this genus is the legendary \"fish-within-a-fish\" fossil, which showcases a nearly six-foot-long Gillicus arcuatus perfectly preserved inside a Xiphactinus stomach. This highlights their status as apex predators of the Cretaceous seas, capable of swallowing large prey whole with their expansive maws. Despite their intimidating size and top speeds of nearly 37 miles per hour, they were not invincible; evidence suggests they were occasionally hunted by giant sharks like Cretoxyrhina or massive mosasaurs. For students of ichthyology and evolution, the Xiphactinus is frequently compared to a modern-day, fanged version of the Atlantic tarpon due to its streamlined body and powerful tail. Today, their fossils are found across the globe, from the Niobrara Chalk of Kansas to formations in Europe and Australia, serving as a vital link for scientists studying Mesozoic marine biodiversity. Protecting these fossil sites is crucial for those passionate about ancient natural history and the incredible creatures that once swam through Earth's ancient oceans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Often referred to by the common name Leeds' fish, this member of the Pachycormidae family is widely regarded as the largest ray-finned fish to have ever existed. For those interested in Mesozoic marine biology, understanding the sheer scale of this giant filter-feeding fish is essential, as some estimates suggest it reached lengths of up to 16.5 meters, rivaling the size of modern whale sharks. If you are researching prehistoric sea monsters or the evolution of pelagic suspension feeders, the Leedsichthys serves as a critical case study in how ancient ecosystems supported massive life forms. This ichthyological wonder thrived in the warm, shallow seas of what is now Europe and South America, utilizing specialized bony gill rakers to strain massive quantities of zooplankton and small marine organisms from the water column. Despite its incredible size, much of its skeleton was composed of cartilage, which rarely fossilizes, leading to its species name problematicus due to the difficulty paleontologists face in reconstructing its full form. For students of paleontology and fossil records, the discovery of Leedsichthys remains provides vital clues about the Middle Jurassic marine food web and the abundance of plankton during that era. Whether you are a fan of oceanic megafauna or a collector of ancient fish facts, the legacy of this titanic bony fish continues to fascinate scientists exploring the depths of Earth's biological history.

These prehistoric marine giants are scientifically classified within the Chelicerata subphylum, making them ancient relatives of today’s arachnids and horseshoe crabs. For those researching Paleozoic marine fossils, understanding the evolutionary history of these giant prehistoric arthropods is essential for grasping the complexity of early aquatic ecosystems. These creatures ranged significantly in size, from small, bottom-dwelling species to the massive Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, which remains one of the largest arthropods to ever live, reaching lengths of over eight feet. If you are a student of evolutionary paleontology or a collector of rare invertebrate fossils, you will find that their distinct morphology—featuring a segmented body, paddle-like swimming appendages, and powerful pincers—makes them a fascinating subject of study. The sea scorpion fossil record indicates they thrived in a variety of environments, from shallow brackish waters to deep hypersaline lagoons during the Silurian and Devonian periods. As a top-tier Paleozoic predator, they utilized their keen compound eyes and spiked limbs to hunt smaller fish and early invertebrates, playing a critical role in the ancient marine food web. While they are often compared to modern scorpions, they were primarily adapted for swimming, though some evidence suggests they could briefly venture onto land.

Often referred to by common names such as the large-mouth shark or bocudo, this prehistoric-looking creature belongs to a unique family of filter-feeding sharks alongside the whale shark and basking shark. For those researching rare deep-sea shark species, the megamouth is a fascinating subject because it was only discovered by modern science in 1976. If you are interested in marine biology and shark conservation, you might find it incredible that these giants can grow up to 23 feet long while remaining almost entirely hidden from human sight. Primarily found in the tropical and temperate waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, they are known for their diel vertical migration, a behavior where they spend daylight hours in the deep mesopelagic zone and rise toward the surface at night to feed. As a plankton-eating shark, their diet consists mainly of krill, jellyfish, and copepods, which they capture using a massive, bulbous mouth and specialized gill rakers. For enthusiasts of underwater photography and ocean exploration, sightings of a live megamouth are extremely rare, making every encounter a significant scientific event. Although currently listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, they are sometimes victims of incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries, particularly in regions like Taiwan and the Philippines. Understanding the habitat of the megamouth shark is vital for protecting our ocean’s biodiversity. Whether you are a student looking for facts about the megamouth shark or a traveler exploring eco-tourism in the Philippines, these gentle giants serve as a reminder of how much of the deep sea remains unexplored. Protecting their environment ensures that this primitive shark lineage continues to thrive in the dark, mysterious depths of the world's oceans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Often referred to by common names such as the head-shield fish or recognized as a classic member of the ostracoderms, this prehistoric vertebrate lived approximately 400 million years ago across what is now Western Europe and North America. For those researching early vertebrate evolution, the Cephalaspis lyelli offers a fascinating glimpse into a time before jawed fishes dominated the planet. A primary focus for paleontology students and fossil collectors is the creature's signature horseshoe-shaped head shield, a bony structure that provided vital protection against apex predators like giant sea scorpions and early placoderms. As a specialized bottom-feeding detritivore, it navigated the silty riverbeds using its ventral mouth to suck up organic matter and small invertebrates. If you are looking for facts about Devonian fish anatomy, it is remarkable to note that these small creatures, typically the size of a modern trout, possessed one of the first complex brains in the fossil record. They also utilized unique sensory patches along the rim of their armor, which acted as a precursor to the lateral line system found in contemporary fish today. This adaptation allowed them to detect subtle vibrations and pressure changes in the water, a crucial survival mechanism for an animal lacking defensive jaws. Whether you are studying the Old Red Sandstone fossils of Britain or exploring the history of jawless vertebrates, the Cephalaspis remains a cornerstone of prehistoric biology. Understanding its benthic lifestyle and migratory patterns helps researchers reconstruct the ancient ecosystems of the Paleozoic Era, ensuring that the legacy of this armored pioneer continues to inspire those interested in biodiversity and deep-time evolution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Often called by the common name armored fish or simply the \"Dunk,\" this prehistoric marvel was not a shark but a member of the extinct placoderm group of fishes, characterized by a tank-like exterior of bony plates. For those researching prehistoric marine life facts or looking for the world's first super predator, the Dunkleosteus offers a terrifying glimpse into ancient oceans. Unlike modern animals with teeth, this giant armored placoderm possessed massive, self-sharpening bony blades that functioned like a guillotine, delivering a record-breaking bite force comparable to a Tyrannosaurus rex. If you are interested in paleontology and fossil hunting, many of the best-preserved specimens were discovered in the Cleveland Shale of Ohio, highlighting its historical range. As a top-tier Paleozoic carnivore, it utilized a sophisticated four-bar linkage jaw mechanism to open its mouth in a fraction of a second, creating a powerful suction to pull in unsuspecting prey. Understanding the extinction of the placoderms during the Late Devonian mass extinction event is crucial for anyone studying evolutionary biology and marine biodiversity. Despite its fame in modern media and museums, scientists continue to debate its exact size, though it is widely regarded as one of the largest predatory fish in Earth's history. For students of ancient ocean ecosystems or travelers visiting natural history museums in North America, the Dunkleosteus serves as a powerful symbol of the bizarre and lethal creatures that once dominated the seas long before the first dinosaurs ever walked the land, leaving behind a legacy of bony armor and unrivaled power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Often referred to by common names such as the megatooth shark, giant white shark, or simply The Meg, this colossal creature dominated marine ecosystems during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. If you are a fan of marine paleontology and shark evolution, understanding the sheer scale of this extinct mackerel shark is essential for grasping ancient biodiversity. Reaching estimated lengths of up to 60 feet, it was significantly larger than any modern predatory fish, making it a primary subject for prehistoric wildlife documentaries. Unlike the modern Great White, which belongs to a different family, the Otodus megalodon was a specialized hunter that likely targeted large baleen whales and sirenians. For those interested in fossil hunting for shark teeth, Megalodon specimens are highly prized due to their massive size, often exceeding seven inches in length. These fossilized Megalodon teeth provide crucial data for scientists reconstructing the ancient ocean food web. While some popular media suggests otherwise, scientific consensus confirms that this massive prehistoric predator went extinct approximately 3.6 million years ago due to global cooling and shifting prey populations. Researching Megalodon extinction theories reveals how climate change and competition with smaller, faster predators like early orcas may have led to their demise. Whether you are exploring fascinating facts about giant sharks or studying the Cenozoic era marine life, the legacy of the Megalodon continues to captivate the imagination. Its status as a formidable apex predator serves as a reminder of the incredible giants that once thrived in the deep, leaving behind only robust teeth and vertebrae as evidence of their undisputed reign over the world's warm coastal waters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eAt Collectible Wildlife Gifts, we cater to a diverse clientele, encompassing families, friends, and educators.

Ichthyosaurs belong to the order known as Ichthyosauria or Ichthyopterygia ('fish flippers' – a designation introduced by Sir Richard Owen in 1842, although the term is now used more for the parent clade of the Ichthyosauria). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIchthyosaurs thrived during much of the Mesozoic era; based on fossil evidence, they first appeared around 250 million years ago (Ma) and at least one species survived until about 90 million years ago, into the Late Cretaceous. During the Early Triassic epoch, ichthyosaurs and other ichthyosaur morphs evolved from a group of unidentified land reptiles that returned to the sea, in a development similar to how the mammalian land-dwelling ancestors of modern-day dolphins and whales returned to the sea millions of years later, which they gradually came to resemble in a case of convergent evolution. Ichthyosaurs were particularly abundant in the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic periods, until they were replaced as the top aquatic predators by another marine reptilian group, the Plesiosauria, in the later Jurassic and Early Cretaceous, though previous views of ichthyosaur decline during this period are probably overstated. Ichthyosaurs diversity declined due to environmental volatility caused by climatic upheavals in the early Late Cretaceous, becoming extinct around the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary approximately 90 million years ago. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eScience became aware of the existence of ichthyosaurs during the early nineteenth century, when the first complete skeletons were found in England. In 1834, the order Ichthyosauria was named. Later that century, many excellently preserved ichthyosaur fossils were discovered in Germany, including soft-tissue remains. Since the late twentieth century, there has been a revived interest in the group, leading to an increased number of named ichthyosaurs from all continents, with over fifty valid genera being now known.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!

The apex predator of the Cretaceous seas, measuring 18 meters long, and weighing 17 tons, this marine reptilian monster of the deep was the largest mosasaur of all time, having nothing to fear but others of its own kind when fully grown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e 65 million years ago. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTylosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 87 – 65 million years ago. While Tyrannosaurus ruled over the land, Tylosaurus was at the top of the food chain in the Cretaceous seas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTylosaurus died out alongside the dinosaurs during the K\/T extinction. Though not a dinosaur, Tylosaurus lived at the same time and region as them and went extinct at around the same time at the end of the Cretaceous period. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSince their first discovery in 1868, many Tylosaurus remains have been found in several different countries in North America. Additionally, they have also become one of the most famous prehistoric creatures in the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe dominant marine carnivore of the Late Cretaceous seas, Tylosaurus was a giant predator that grew to reach more than 45 – 60 feet (13 – 18 m) in length and weighing 15 – 20 tons (33,000 – 44,000 lbs.), making it the largest of the mosasaur family of marine reptiles and one of the largest carnivorous animals the world had ever seen. Their serpentine shape was no accident, as they were close relatives of snakes. However, they were far more ferocious and even much larger. Smaller species lived in shallow waters close to shore. However, offshore in the deep oceans lurked true giants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eLike all mosasaurs, a long and muscular, vertically flattened tail powered Tylosaurus through the water, allowing it to ambush its prey with rapid bursts of acceleration. Paddle-like limbs helped steer the slim body covered in lizard-like scales through the water. Preserved stomach contents indicate a diet heavy on fish, but seabirds, sharks, plesiosaurs, and other mosasaurs also failed to escape Tylosaurus' lethal grip. These sea monsters were feeding on fish (Xiphactinus and sharks), sea birds (Hesperornis), and other reptiles (Archelon), plesiosaurs and other - smaller - species of mosasaurs, as well as other prey items. Its immense head size meant that it could have swallowed medium-sized animals like Squalicorax whole. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTylosaurus was the deadliest hunter of the ancient seas, ready to seize and kill just about any creature that crossed its path with true jaws of death—lined on each side with two rows of pointy, cone-shaped teeth. Tylosaurus used its snout to locate prey, which, once inside the mosasaur's menacing jaws, was swallowed whole or torn to pieces. When the sea monster opened wide for the final gulp, two extra rows of teeth on the roof of its mouth allowed crippled captives no escape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTylosaurus was the third new genus of mosasaur to be described from North America behind Clidastes and Platecarpus and the first in Kansas. The early history of the genus as a taxon was subject to complications spurred by the infamous rivalry between American paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh during the Bone Wars. The type specimen was described by Cope in 1869 based on a fragmentary skull measuring nearly 5 feet (1.5 m) in length and thirteen vertebrae lent to him by Louis Agassiz of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. The fossil, which remains in the same museum under the catalog number MCZ 4374, was recovered from a deposit of the Niobrara Formation located in the vicinity of Monument Rocks near the Union Pacific Railroad at Fort Hays, Kansas. Cope's first publication of the fossil was very brief and was named Macrosaurus proriger, the genus being a preexisting European mosasaur taxon. The specific epithet proriger means \"prow-bearing\", which is in reference to the specimen's unique prow-like elongated rostrum and is derived from the Latin word prōra (prow) and suffix -gero (I bear). In 1870, Cope published a more thorough description of MCZ 4374. Without explanation, he moved the species into another European genus Liodon and declared his original Macrosaurus proriger a synonym. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!

The most famous of these is at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays Kansas. A thirteen foot long Xiphactinus has a completely preserved, six foot long Gillicus arctuatis in its stomach.

Fish from the diminutive Chirocentrites to larger Enchodus, Pachyrhizodus and Ichthyodectes. Large, marine reptiles like Mosasaurs, Elasmosaurs and Ichthyosaurs would have occupied the top of the food chain. Just below them would come the sharks, Squalicorax, Cretoxyrhina.

The most recent fossil record dates from about 80 Mya but the earliest records date back as far as approximately 360 Mya. At one time coelacanths were a large group comprising about 90 valid species that were distributed worldwide in both marine and freshwaters. Today, there are two known living species. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNumerous characteristics are unique to the coelacanth among living fishes. Among them is the presence of a \"rostral organ\" in the snout that is part of the electro sensory system, and an intracranial joint or \"hinge\" in the skull that allows the anterior portion of the cranium to swing upwards, greatly enlarging the gape of the mouth. Neither character exists in any other living vertebrate. Other unique anatomical features include a hollow fluid-filled \"notochord\" (a primitive feature in vertebrates) underlying the spinal cord and extending the length of the body, vertebrae that are incompletely formed or totally lacking bony centra, an oil-filled gas bladder, fleshy \"lobed\" or limb-like fins that are internally supported by bone, and paired fins that move in a synchronized tetrapod-like pattern. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe first living coelacanth was discovered in 1938 and bears the scientific name Latimeria chalumnae. The species was described by Professor J.L.B. Smith in 1939 and was named after its discoverer, Miss Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer. Although Latimeria is a genus distinct from the fossil forms, all coelacanths share numerous features and are easily recognized by their distinctive shape and lobed fins. For many years, living coelacanths were known only from the western Indian Ocean, primarily from the Comoros Islands, but in September 1997 and again in July 1998, coelacanths were captured in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia, nearly 6,000 miles to the east of the Comoros. The Indonesian discovery was made by Mark V. Erdmann, then a doctoral student from UC Berkeley studying coral reef ecology in Indonesia. Although the Indonesian specimens superficially resemble those in the western Indian Ocean, analyses of DNA from tissue samples from one of the Indonesian specimens revealed significant genetic differentiation from the Indian Ocean population. The authors of two studies have suggested that the two populations have been separated for at least several millions of years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!

The fossil record suggests that it often ate so much that it regurgitated partially-digested fish when it was over-filled or got indigestion. Although it had no teeth, Dunkleosteus had razor-like, bony jaws that were self-sharpening. That, coupled with its strong jaws made it easy for Dunkleosteus to slice into its prey - often creatures that were much larger than itself.

Elasmosaurus’s long neck was essential to its eating strategy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIt would only be necessary for Elasmosaurus to float up to a school of fish, probably from underneath, so that it could conceal its bulk in the darker shade waters and then use its neck to lunge its head in and pull out a load of fish. Prey that was approaching from below, such as a school of fish, would similarly silhouette against the brighter surface water, rendering them simpler to distinguish and do away with their defense mechanism of light reflecting off of their shining scales. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe most likely place for Elasmosaurus to have existed was in the center of North America, which once held an old ocean that has now dried up. The ocean, which was shallow but nevertheless capable of covering a large portion of North America during the Cretaceous era, had once been located in the Midwest, where Kansas is currently located, close to the Western Interior Seaway. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
