Ophthalmosaurus marine reptile, illustration
Illustration of Ophthalmosaurus, a British marine reptile from the late Jurassic period (165 to 150 million years ago). It belonged to the ichthyosaur group, which were similar to dolphins with long streamlined bodies, long snouts and powerful tails. They also had massive eyes (the name ophthalmosaurus means eye reptile) allowing them to hunt squid and fish at great depths. Ichthyosaurs were viviparous (gave birth to live young)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible Ophthalmosaurus, a British marine reptile that roamed the oceans during the late Jurassic period. With its long streamlined body, snout, and powerful tail, this ichthyosaur resembled modern-day dolphins in appearance and agility. However, what truly sets it apart are its massive eyes which earned it the name "ophthalmosaurus" meaning eye reptile. In this stunning computer-generated illustration by Mark Garlick from Science Photo Library, we witness the majesty of this prehistoric creature brought to life. The artwork beautifully captures every intricate detail of the Ophthalmosaurus against a plain background, allowing us to focus solely on its remarkable features. With their exceptional vision capabilities, these ancient predators were able to hunt squid and fish at great depths. But perhaps even more astonishing is their viviparous nature – giving birth to live young instead of laying eggs like most reptiles. As we gaze upon this scientifically accurate 3D representation of an ophthalmosaurus swimming gracefully through time, we are reminded of our planet's rich history and diverse inhabitants. This image serves as a window into a world long gone but forever imprinted in fossils and scientific discoveries. A true testament to Earth's ever-evolving sealife heritage that continues to fascinate researchers and art enthusiasts alike.
