4.CAN ICTHYOSURUS JUMP ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE WATER?

6. DID THE ICHTHYOSAURS USE ECHOLOCATION. 

(Ich-thee-o-saurs) started appearing in the early Jurassic period. In this book you will learn what the Ichthyosaur eats, looks like,its habitat and other facts. Icthyosaurus was a prehistoric marine reptile so don't think Icthyosaurus is alive because it's extinct!

Well, The Ichthyosaurs was a very fast swimmer. They had long sharp jaws with small pointy teeth for grabbing it´s prey. The Ichthyosaurs also had a long tail. The Ichthyosaurs had a dorsal triangular fin, and two paddle like fins. The Ichthyosaurs also had a vertical tail like a shark. The Ichthyosaurs had huge eyes that were designed for seeing in the depths of the deep sea. Scientists believe that the Ichthyosaurs was a light pink color or a light blue. Did you know, that some Ichthyosaurs were 12 meters long!!!

Authors Note 13

Abdullah Kohgadai and Adeline Smith are both in 3rd grade. They desided to write a book about The Ichthyosaurs because usually when people think of dinosaurs they think about T-Rexes. So they decided to write this book to show that there's other cool dinosaurs and marine reptiles out there besides T-Rexes. Also its just cool to write about dinosaurs and marine reptiles.

A carnivore is something or, someone that only eats meat.

A herbivore is again something or, someone that only eats plants.

Prey is a animal´s food. An antonym for prey is a predator which hunts the prey.

The First Dinosaur That Roamed the Earth!!!

This is what scientists believed was the first dinosaur that lived. The dinosaur was about the size of a lab retriever. It walked the earth, 243 MILLION years ago. Before we had WiFi. You would probably die. Anyway, scientists named this dinosaur The Nyasasauras Parringtoni. It lived by Lake Nyasa in Tanzania, feeding on plants, so it had flat teeth and it was a herbivore. Even though it was the size of a dog it had a 5 foot long tail!! The Nyasasauras Parringtoni was 3 feet long (at hips) and weighed 44 to 130 lbs, and it was 6.6 to 9.8 feet standing up. The Nyasasauras Parringtoni is the scientific name for The Lake Nyasa lizard.

No, we are not cousins. But, you might think, me and dinosaurs have basically nothing income that is why we are not cousins. Well just think... Here I will give a few things that we have income. If you really want to be technical 4 things. 1) We both have 4 limbs, I know what you might be thinking. But some dinosaurs or marine reptiles have fins or flippers, or wings. Well, those are actually limbs just modified into fins, flippers, and wings. 2) We both have 2 eyes. I know what your thinking again, well of course we both have 2 eyes. Well do you think that you are closer to a spider (with 8 eyes) or a dinosaur (or marine reptiles)? (3 Our teeth, our front, are sharp for taring, and our back are flat for grinding. Some dinosaurs or marine reptile's teeth are flat which means that they are a herbivore . But, if there teeth are sharp then they are carnivore (the Ichthyosaurs is a carnivore). So us humans, are a mix of these 2 types of teeth. (4 We both give birth live. Even though The Ichthyosaurs was a marine reptile it was still believed to give birth young. Unlike normal reptiles, which lay eggs.

Where did Icthyosaurous live ?

Icthyosaurous lived in parts of England,Germany,Northern France,North America,Canada and Argentina. Icthyosaurous habitat was the deep and shallow water. This has to be were the icthyosaurous roamed because the icthyosaurous had a fast paddle like body to help it swim at very high speeds.

FUN FACT The Icthyosourous could leap out of the water completely, like a dolphin.

There are lots of different kinds of Ichthyosaurs like, The Ophthalmosaurus, and The Temnodontodsaurus. Do you have a family with a name that long? Now, time for a question. Is the Ichthyosaurs a dinosaur?... WRONG! The Ichthyosaurs is actually a marine reptile! Scientists believe that a dolphin or, shark are relatives to The Ichthyosaurs, because The Ichthyosaurs tail moves in a up and down motion like a dolphin. The Ichthyosaurs also has really sharp teeth like a shark.

Icthyosaurus lived in water so, it mostly ate fish,shellfish octopus and squid. Unlike other people, Icthyosaurus did not eat pig or cow , it ate the things in its habitat. An Icthyosaurus adaptation was its sharp teeth for cutting up its prey up Another adaptation The Icthyosaurus had was that it hunted using echolocation. Icthyosaurus was a fierce hunter so it must of got it's food very easily.
