Mosasaurs (from the Greek for 'lizard') were aquatic dinosaurs which probably gave birth to live young. The Mosasaur is an extinct, large dinosaur-like marine reptile with a snake-like body, long snout and paddle-like limbs. Found worldwide, they competed with other well-known sea predators of the Late Cretaceous, such as plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, for food, existing primarily on a diet of ammonoids, cuttlefish and fish. -
