ichthyosaurus
Ichthyosaurus is a genus of extinct marine reptiles from the Mesozoic era, specifically the ichthyosaur order, characterized by a fish-like body structure with large eyes and a long snout filled with conical teeth. They are not dinosaurs but lived contemporaneously with them, and they are believed to have been powerful swimmers and effective predators. The name 'Ichthyosaurus' derives from Greek words meaning 'fish lizard'.
