 | Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration. Reason: The elasmosaurid is missing a caudal fin and trailing edges on the paddles, and the skull doesn't attach very smoothly to the neck here |
Summary
| Description |
English: Kronosaurus queenslandicus attacking Eromangasaurus australis (formerly classified as Tuarangisaurus).
Español: En aguas neozelandesas del Cretácico, el pliosaurio Kronosaurus atrapa desde las profundidades a un joven e inexperto Tuarangisaurus, un elasmosaurio coetáneo del depredador atacante. Kronosaurus, un reptil marino con un tamaño estimado de 10 metros, tenía una dentadura muy particular de dientes cónicos, cuyas dentelladas se han registrado en restos fósiles del también reptil marino Tuarangisaurus, un piscívoro con un tamaño adulto estimado en unos 8 metros.
En la ilustración y en la descripción, se maneja como una de las posibilidades de ataque y caza la misma táctica que utilizan grandes carnívoros acuáticos actuales, como el gran tiburón blanco: a gran velocidad desde abajo, fuera del campo visual de la presa y con una fuerte mordida. |
