Nothosaurus
Easily recognised thanks to its unusual, eel-like appearance, the aquatic reptile Nothosaurus first lived around 210-240 million years ago and can grow up to seven metres in length. This genus has paddle-like fins and webbed toes that allow it to swim at high speeds, while its sharp needle teeth and strong jaws make it an efficient hunter.
