Ichthyosaurs were large aquatic reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, long before the ice ages. They first evolved from egg-laying diapsid reptiles between the latest Permian and the earliest Triassic and died out 90 million years ago. One of them serves as the main antagonist of Ice Age: The Meltdown.

| - Ichthyosaurs were large aquatic reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs, long before the ice ages. They first evolved from egg-laying diapsid reptiles between the latest Permian and the earliest Triassic and died out 90 million years ago. One of them serves as the main antagonist of Ice Age: The Meltdown.
- Ichthyosaurs that appear in the Jurassic Park franchise:
* Ichthyosaurus
* Shonisaurus
* Eurhinosaurus
* Ophtalmosaurus
* Cymbospondylus
* Shastasaurus
* Mixosaurus
* Chaohusaurus
- The Ichthyosaur (taxonomic designation: Xenotherus icthycanthus, or "Spined Alien Fish Beast") is an alien species transported to Earth from the Border World, Xen. Prominently featured in Half-Life and its expansions. It has a small cameo at the start of Half-Life 2.
- The ichthyosaur is a two-part fossil that can be donated to the museum. It was introduced in City Folk, and is still present in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The ichthyosaurus is a branch of the icthyosuar family - smaller than most other icthyosaurs, it lived in the sea and ate squid. The first icthyosaurus was discovered by 12-year-old Mary Anning, who also discovered the Plesiosaur.
- Ichthyosaurs (Greek for 'fish lizard' - ιχθυς meaning 'fish' and σαυρος meaning 'lizard') were giant marine reptiles that resembled fish and dolphins. They lived during a large part of the Mesozoic era and appeared about 250 million years ago (Mya), slightly earlier than the dinosaurs (230 Mya); and disappeared about 90 Mya, about 25 million years before the dinosaurs became extinct. During the early Triassic Period, ichthyosaurs evolved from as-yet unidentified land reptiles that moved back into the water, in a development parallel to that of modern-day dolphins and whales. They were particularly abundant in the Jurassic Period, until they were replaced as the top aquatic predators by plesiosaurs in the Cretaceous Period. They belong to the order known as Ichthyosauria or Ichthyopterygia
- Ichthyosaurs (Greek for 'fish lizard') were giant marine reptiles that resembled fish and dolphins. Ichthyosaurs thrived during much of the Mesozoic era; based on fossil evidence, they first appeared approximately 245 million years ago (mya) and disappeared about 90 million years ago, about 25 million years before the dinosaurs became extinct. During the Middle Triassic Period, ichthyosaurs evolved from as-yet unidentified land reptiles that moved back into the water, in a development parallel to that of modern-day dolphins and whales.
