Keichousaurus was a late Triassic marine reptile, and a member of the Pleurosaur family. They went extinct 250 million years ago during the Triassic- Jurassic extinction event. They were specialised fish eaters, and were highly unusual amongst marine reptiles in that they gave birth to live young rather than laying eggs.
