Plesiosaurus Mommy with Calf

 You have found my free coloring pages blog.

There are over 3000 drawings that I have drawn that you can print to color.

Today's new drawings are of Plesiosaur Mommies. 

Spotted Plesiosaur Mommy with Male Calf

Striped Plesiosaur Mommy with Female Calf

Plesiosaurs had live birth and fossil evidence also indicates that they were probably social creatures and like whales, cared for their young.  These are two sub-species that I imagined.  One is spotted and one is striped.  They are both swimming over a coral reef.  Plesiosaurs include many species but this one is specifically Plesiosaurus. Plesiosaurus grew to up to almost 12 feet or about 4 meters long.   It most likely ate fish and swimming invertebrates if the invertebrates were not shelled.  The shelled invertebrates like ammonites were preyed upon by marine reptiles with stronger jaws... like the Ichthyosaur you see jumping out of the sea... in the distance.
