mosasaurs
mosasaurs living in the Cretaceous Maastrichtian (about 70 million to 65 million years ago) marine , the distribution around the world. The first fossil in the late 18th century near the river in Helanmozi was found in Cretaceous rocks. Have been classified in the crocodile-shaped over the purpose of Caplin crocodile, is currently the mosasaurs, a sub-genus synonym. Cang Cang Long history of Long Branch is the first named genus. The first can be classified with the fossil mosasaurs,

In 1770, the local a Dutch army surgeon CL Hoffmann's strange limestone skeleton of great interest to start money collected fossils. In 1774, a skull was found in good condition, causing the public interest for these bones, the dispute that they are the animals before the time of the flood. A few years later, the French Army occupied the Netherlands, the fossil was sent to France. French scientist Georges Cuvier (Georges Cuvier) that these fossils are the first species of crocodile, and later that they are the kind of giant lizard. In 1822, William Daniel Conybeare (William Daniel Conybeare) named this fossil mosasaurs (Mosasaurus), to flow through the Meuse River in the name of Maastricht. In 1829, Gideon Enman Patel (Gideon Mantell) to establish species name to find the type specimen of CK Hoffman doctors name. Mosasaurs, the type specimen is currently in Paris Museum of Natural History (Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle) display. Scientific classification species M. beaugei Armbourg, 1952 M. copeanus Marsh, 1869 M. crassidens Marsh, 1870 M. dekayi Bronn, 1838 M. giganteus (Somering, 1916) M. gracilis Owen, 1851 M. hardenponti M. hobetsuensis Suzuki,

Cang Long subfamily can be divided into several families, Cang Cang Long is one of the Dragon (Mosasaurini), Dragon also includes hard-vertebral Cang Long, Mona Long, Amphekepubis, and Liodon. Animal category chordates door Reptilia Squamata Sauria Cang Long Branch appearance features the smallest known mosasaurs is Carinodens belgicu, 3 to 3.5 meters in length and may live in the shallow shore, with its bulbous molluscs and sea urchin teeth catch them for food. Similar size larger mosasaurs Heino Sea King Dragon, or Lung these huge creatures, mosasaurs can grow to 15 meters long and 8 tons, it is the human body the size of the animal can swallow whole. Mosasaurs than other creatures, the head of mosasaurs, stronger, due to tight joint between the jaw bone, it can not be like the early mosasaurs mosasaurs (eg Sea King Dragon) as to swallow the prey whole. Sharp teeth of mosasaurs cylindrical tapered, bent barb-like, double jaw in occlusal tremendous torque, while the prey can be snapped down the middle. In addition there is a circle within the maxillary teeth to drag and drop food. Scientists speculated that mosasaurs should be to chew or tear their prey to the appropriate size and then swallowed, their eating patterns similar to the existing Komodo dragon, just to bloody much. Mosasaurus vision is weak, but very well-developed sense of smell and hearing. They inherited from their ancestors is still the tongue is the main organ sniffing; the special structure of their ears, the sound can be amplified 38 times. Its head the presumption of fossil scientists, Cang Long snout using upper side and a group of neural detection of pressure waves from their prey in order to determine the exact location of targets, just like today, like killer whales use sound to locate. Mosasaurs have lungs, a breath can stay in the water for a long time. Cang Long's body elongated barrel, the tail strong,
skechers outlet, highly fluid nature. It has five toes forelimbs,
skechers shoes online, hind legs with four toes, limbs have evolved into flippers, forelimbs than hind limbs, stout and powerful flippers that it can change direction quickly in the water, greatly increased agility. To reach half the length of its tail, for the broad flat paddle-shaped vertical tail vertebrae are the upper and lower vertebral bone expansion, formed a powerful swimming tool. Scientists speculate that it's moving a manner similar to modern crocodiles swimming in the water way, shake a tail like a whip around as the maximum speed may reach 30 miles / hour (about 48.3 km / h). This way you can swim extremely fast in a short time, but not conducive to the long high-speed chase, so, Cang Long is the use of hidden explosive hunt with the players. The king's ancestors came from marine predators on land, only a small lizard - lizards of ancient coast. Their evolution has been a mystery until 1989, the discovery of fossils of lizards in Dallas,
skechers tone ups, making the mosasaurs evolved their ancestral link between the lost connection can be reasonable. Speculated that the survival of ancient marine lizards is younger than 95 million years ago, the land has been facing greater and more ferocious dinosaur threat, so they fled into the ocean. Lizard 300 million years evolved into Dallas. The long process of evolution, their toes into a web-footed, so the land can no longer move. 600 million years, bringing them from one meter long, small lizards, 15 meters into a large mosasaurs. The development of mosasaurs proved that even in the evolution, the timing is most important. Shallow waters of the warm water to create a rich source of food, creating the perfect living environment. The lizard in the sea began their achievements in maritime supremacy of the evolutionary path. Plenty of sea food, but the competition fierce. Mosasaurs, the gold kitchen with main rival sharks and plesiosaurs. Golden Kitchen ancient shark is a shark, up to 8 meters in length, is the power of both speed and endurance predators. Mosasaurs, the body gradually becomes huge in the evolution, character increasingly fierce, the scientists speculate that an adult mosasaurs, sharks can fight a few gold kitchen, which is no longer the enemy, and become a hunter and food relationship. Finally in 82 million years ago, the Golden Kitchen shark extinction. 15 meters in length plesiosaur, only the neck and there is 8 meters long, two tons of multiple. Them to account for the huge size of the location of the marine food chain. Plesiosaur's long neck is a powerful tool for hunting, you can not notice it in the food when they eat a large body of them. But this has become a fatal weakness. Mosasaurs powerful jaws it can even bite in two. In mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, under strong selection of the retreat. Mosasaurs, marine life of all the most successful predators. Their time in the 500 years of ruthless competitors will eventually become the overlord of the ancient ocean. Reference picture
