Plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs fighting by moonlight, mezzotint by John Martin for Thomas Hawkins' Book of the Great Sea-Dragons, 1840 · John Martin, frontispiece to Thomas Hawkins' Book of the Great Sea-Dragons, mezzotint, 1840, Public domain, Wikimedia Commons

Plesiosaurs are long-necked sea reptiles of primeval waters, with paddle limbs and jaws full of needle teeth. They snatch fish and swimmers from the surface. Fishermen on certain deep, cold lakes swear that one still lives below.
