Items related to Ancient Animals: Plesiosaur
Ninety million years ago, giant dinosaurs roamed the earth, pterosaurs flew through the air, and giant reptiles and fish hunted in the oceans. The area that is now Kansas was covered by water and one of its inhabi-tants was the plesiosaur—a reptile with an extremely long neck and a huge body.
This early reader about the ancient plesiosaur brings the prehistoric world of this ocean-dwelling animal to life, explain-ing how scientists think these reptiles lived, hunted, and became extinct. Back matter explores other reptiles both ancient and modern and provides additional print, visual, and web resources.

Something that looked smallswam up from the bottom.It swam past a squid.It swam past a turtlewith a shell as largeas the hood of a car.It swam towarda school of fish.
The swimmerdid not seemto be an enemy.It was not a big hunterlike a sharkor a mosasaur.So the fish kept eating.
The swimmer got closer.A small headon a long neckdarted at a fish.It grabbed the fishwith sharp, thin teeth.It gulped the meal downin one bite.
