Since the early 19th century, researchers have identified over one hundred valid species within the Plesiosauria order. Modern 21-st century finds now prove these air-breathing reptiles were warm-blooded and gave birth to live young. They navigated Mesozoic oceans using four massive flippers powered by heave muscle plates.
