Bullyland Elasmosaurus Museum Line

The marine-dwelling Elasmosaurus, which inhabited the seas of North America and Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, was the longest representative among the plesiosaurs at 14 meters. Its highly flexible neck alone measured 8 meters and consisted of about 75 vertebrae. It had four long, paddle-like flippers, a small head, and sharp teeth, with which it likely primarily hunted fish. Since its neck was somewhat of an obstacle while swimming underwater, some paleontologists speculate that it swam at the surface and stretched its neck out of the water.
