plesiosaur
A plesiosaur is a type of large, now-extinct marine reptile that lived during the Era of Dinosaurs, specifically during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They were characterized by a broad body and a short tail, with four large, paddle-like limbs. Plesiosaurs are mainly known for their long necks and small heads, although some species had a more streamlined body shape with larger heads and shorter necks. Despite their appearance and lifestyle, plesiosaurs were not actually dinosaurs but a different group of reptiles.
