OPHTHALMOSAURUS BELONGS TO A OPHTHALMOSAURUS!
OPHTHALMOSAURUS BELONGS TO A GROUP OF MARINE REPTILES CALLED OPHTHALMOSAURUS BELONGS TO A GROUP OF MARINE REPTILES CALLED ICHTHYOSAURS.
ALTHOUGH THEY GROUP OF MARINE REPTILES CALLED ICHTHYOSAURS.
ALTHOUGH THEY WEREN'T DINOSAURS, THEY LIVED ICHTHYOSAURS.
ALTHOUGH THEY WEREN'T DINOSAURS, THEY LIVED IN THE MESOZOIC ERA JUST LIKE WEREN'T DINOSAURS, THEY LIVED IN THE MESOZOIC ERA JUST LIKE DINOSAURS DID, BUT HOW COULD IN THE MESOZOIC ERA JUST LIKE DINOSAURS DID, BUT HOW COULD SUCH BIG ANIMALS SWIM SO FAST?
DINOSAURS DID, BUT HOW COULD SUCH BIG ANIMALS SWIM SO FAST?
THE BODY OF OPHTHALMOSAURUS IS SUCH BIG ANIMALS SWIM SO FAST?
THE BODY OF OPHTHALMOSAURUS IS SHAPED A LOT LIKE A TEAR-DROP THE BODY OF OPHTHALMOSAURUS IS SHAPED A LOT LIKE A TEAR-DROP ON ITS SIDE, ROUNDED IN THE SHAPED A LOT LIKE A TEAR-DROP ON ITS SIDE, ROUNDED IN THE FRONT AND POINTED IN THE BACK.
ON ITS SIDE, ROUNDED IN THE FRONT AND POINTED IN THE BACK.
WE CALL THIS SHAPE FRONT AND POINTED IN THE BACK.
WE CALL THIS SHAPE STREAMLINED BECAUSE WATER WE CALL THIS SHAPE STREAMLINED BECAUSE WATER FLOWS OVER IT EASILY.
A STREAMLINED BECAUSE WATER FLOWS OVER IT EASILY.
A STREAMLINED BODY, COMBINED WITH FLOWS OVER IT EASILY.
A STREAMLINED BODY, COMBINED WITH A BIG, STRONG TAIL, ALLOWED STREAMLINED BODY, COMBINED WITH A BIG, STRONG TAIL, ALLOWED OPHTHALMOSAURUS TO MOVE REALLY A BIG, STRONG TAIL, ALLOWED OPHTHALMOSAURUS TO MOVE REALLY FAST.
A LOT OF BIG, FAST-MOVING OPHTHALMOSAURUS TO MOVE REALLY FAST.
A LOT OF BIG, FAST-MOVING FISHES ALIVE TODAY ARE FAST.
A LOT OF BIG, FAST-MOVING FISHES ALIVE TODAY ARE STREAMLINED, TOO, AND FOR THE FISHES ALIVE TODAY ARE STREAMLINED, TOO, AND FOR THE SAME REASON.
SOME SHARKS CAN STREAMLINED, TOO, AND FOR THE SAME REASON.
SOME SHARKS CAN SWIM MORE THAN 30 MILES AN SAME REASON.
SOME SHARKS CAN SWIM MORE THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR, AND A LARGE FISH CALLED SWIM MORE THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR, AND A LARGE FISH CALLED THE MARLIN REACHES SPEEDS OVER HOUR, AND A LARGE FISH CALLED THE MARLIN REACHES SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR!
THAT'S AS THE MARLIN REACHES SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR!
