Tanystropheus: A Bizarrely long-necked Reptile

Tanystropheus was a genus of archosauromorph reptiles that lived during the Middle Triassic period. This reptile had a bizarrely long neck, which only consisted of 12 vertebrae. It is thought to have been a fish-eater, using its long neck to snatch fish either on the seabed or in the water.

Este reptil es un arcosauromorfo, está lejanamente relacionado con los cocodrilos y los dinosaurios y ese tipo de reptiles.
