Description
Mosasaurus hoffmannii was a carnivore. It lived in the Cretaceous period and inhabited Europe and North America. Its fossils have been found in places such as Centre-Loire Valley (France), South Dakota and Nebraska.
The largest species of the Mosasaurus hoffmannii species could grow to over 50 feet long, with a streamlined skull bristling with teeth, a barrel like trunk for its midsection, and a long, powerful tail. It was an aquatic reptile, not a fish, as evidenced by its two sets of fins.
Early paleontologists initially suspected that the Mosasaurus hoffmannii was an ancient crocodile or monitor, but eventually it became clear that it was a different species altogether, unrelated to any modern animal.
