Liopleurodon t-shirt

Liopleurodon was a short-necked plesiosaur that lived during the Jurassic and rose to fame because of its appearance in Walking with Dinosaurs.

And plesiosaurs weren’t dinosaurs! Dinosaurs never evolved fully aquatic forms, the closest they got to it are penguins and Spinosaurus.
