| rdfs:comment | - Tanystropheus is genus of prolacertiformes long - necked archosaur. Its remains were found around Europe, in Switzerland, Italy, Russia etc. Complete skeletons of juvenile individuals are most abundant in the Besano Formation of Italy, dating to 232 million years ago during the middle Triassic period (Ladinian stage).
- Tanystropheus was a large marine reptile (a member of the prolacertid family) from the Triassic. Its most striking feature was its almost-impossibly long neck and tail that almost defied the laws of physics.
- Tanystropheus was a bizarre creature with a neck that made up more than half of its 6-metre long body. Indeed, Tanystropheus is known to have the longest neck permissable under the laws of physics. It hunts fish using its inflexible neck, and can detach its tail if attacked, like a lizard. It existed 235-210 million years ago, in the late Triassic.
- Tanystropheus was seen in the 1933 King Kong.
* In the 1933 classic King Kong, one was seen in the bubbly swamp in Kong's lair and it tries to eat Ann (Fay Ray), and Kong gets into the battle with the creature, the snake-like creature tries to strangle Kong, but it is killed as Kong slams it against a rock. The creature is unidentified making it unknown what type of creature it actually is, but because of the snake like body it can be presumbed to be a Tanystropheus.
- When the characters crosed the underground ocean, they saw a large herd of tanystropheus.
- With its incredibly long but relatively stiff neck,Tanystropheus has been often proposed and reconstructed as an aquatic or semi-aquatic reptile, a theory supported by the fact that the creature is most commonly found in semiaquatic fossil sites wherein known terrestrial reptile remains are scarce. Tanystropheus is most often considered to have been piscivorous (or 'fish-eating'), due to the presence of a long, narrow snout sporting sharp interlocking teeth. In several young specimens, three-cusped cheek teeth are present in the jaw, which might indicate an insectivorous diet; however, similar teeth patterns have been found in Eudimorphodon and Langobardisaurus, both of whom are considered piscivores. Additionally, hooklets from cephalopod tentacles and what may be fish scales have been fo

Cuando se acercaba un banco de peces, este animal tenía dos opciones, o bien saltar al agua e intentar atrapar a los peces o bien usar su largo cuello como una caña de pescar. Gracias a este enorme cuello, que constituía más de la mitad de la longitud del animal podía atrapar fácilmente a los peces de los que se alimentaba, pero este cuello solo tenía diez vértebras, y eran enormes, por lo que se cree que no podía mover el cuello como los plesiosaurios. En tierra, el animal llebava el cuello erguido, pero en el agua lo echaba hacia delante y lo introducía en el agua para atrapar a los peces con sus dientes similares a arpones, que luego destrozaba con las garras de sus patas.

| abstract | - thumb|400px El Tanystropheus era un carnívoro muy eficiente incluso dentro del agua. Cuando se acercaba un banco de peces, este animal tenía dos opciones, o bien saltar al agua e intentar atrapar a los peces o bien usar su largo cuello como una caña de pescar. Gracias a este enorme cuello, que constituía más de la mitad de la longitud del animal podía atrapar fácilmente a los peces de los que se alimentaba, pero este cuello solo tenía diez vértebras, y eran enormes, por lo que se cree que no podía mover el cuello como los plesiosaurios. En tierra, el animal llebava el cuello erguido, pero en el agua lo echaba hacia delante y lo introducía en el agua para atrapar a los peces con sus dientes similares a arpones, que luego destrozaba con las garras de sus patas. Tenía las patas palmeadas, lo que revela que pasaba bastante tiempo en el agua. El hocico era puntiagudo y las mandíbulas estaban provistas de una doble hilera de dientes afilados y algo curvados. El cuello de este animal no se desarrollaba a la vez que su cuerpo, de pequeño, el cuello del Tanystropheus tenía un tamaño normal, pero según iba creciendo, el cuello aumentaba de tamaño el triple de rápido que el resto de su cuerpo, y debido a eso se cree que este animal se alimentaba durante bastante tiempo de insectos. Estos animales vivían en pequeñas comunidades cerca de la costa o en los lagos donde los adultos y las crías podían comer bien. Es posible que este animal, si era atacado, pudiera desprenderse de su cola de forma similar a las actuales lagartijas, así el depredador se distraía con la cola y el Tanystropheus podía escapar, pero esta teoría es poco probable.
