Elasmosaurus was a large marine reptile that lived about 80 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. It is famous for its incredibly long neck, which had up to 71 vertebrae and made up nearly half of its 45-foot length. Unlike most marine predators, Elasmosaurus likely hunted by using its flexible neck to swiftly catch fish and other small sea creatures without creating a disturbance in the water. Despite its massive size, it had small, paddle-like limbs to navigate through the ocean
