JURASSIC PARK Los Archivos Perdidos
Elasmosaurus
Epoca: Cretaceo tardio, hace 80 millones de años
Distribucion: America del Norte
Longitud: 14 metros
Peso: 5 toneladas
Dieta: Carnivoro
El Elasmosaurus se distingue fácilmente por su larguisimo cuello y enorme tamaño. No es un dinosaurio, sino un plesiosaurio gigante.
Los Elasmosaurus son nadadores lentos que prefieren las aguas mas o menos profundas; se alimentan de peces y moluscos que atrapan con sus dientes de aspecto monstruoso. A veces tambien capturan presas en el fondo marino, y se sabe que tragan piedras para lastrarse. Viven en pequeños grupos y generalmente son bastante pacificos entre si, si bien disputas por un bocado especialmente apetitoso son comunes. Cuando descansan, los Elasmosaurus suelen nadar con la cabeza y parte del cuello sobre la superficie, pero nunca salen del agua, ya que su enorme peso les hace casi imposible el moverse en tierra firme.
Son viviparos y las crias prefieren aguas mas someras que los adultos. En general los Elasmosaurus ignoran a los seres humanos, pero se sabe que si son molestados pueden morder con bastante fuerza, y por supuesto, su enorme tamaño y fuerza deben ser siempre tomados en cuenta.
Los Elasmosaurus no emiten demasiados sonidos, pero bajo el agua se han registrado ciertos gruñidos extraños y un llamado semejante a un “tambor” que podria ser un llamado de apareamiento.
TRIVIA: Como todos los reptiles marinos clonados por InGen, el Elasmosaurus vivia en un enorme recinto acuatico en isla Nublar, el cual seria abierto al publico poco después de la inauguración del Parque. No obstante, cuando las islas fueron abandonadas, los reptiles marinos tambien fueron olvidados y nunca se supo que fue de ellos, o si aun permanecen en el recinto. Se ignora donde vivian los reptiles marinos en isla Sorna, antes de ser trasladados al Parque.
POTENCIALMENTE PELIGROSO

JURASSIC PARK The Lost Files
Elasmosaurus
Age: Late Cretaceous, 80 mya
Range: North America
Length: 14 meters
Weight: Up to 2.5 tons
Diet: Carnivore
Elasmosaurus is easily recognized by its very long neck and enormous size. It is not a dinosaur, but a giant plesiosaur.
Elasmosaurs are slow swimmers that prefer medium deep water, and feed on fish and mollusks they catch with their monstrous looking teeth. They also capture prey in the sea bottom, and they are known to swallow stones as ballast. They live in small groups and are usually peaceful with each other, although disputes over food are common. When resting, they swim with head and part of the neck over the surface, but they never leave water, since their enormous weight prevents them from moving on dry land.
They are viviparous and the young prefer shallow water, away from the adults. Usually, Elasmosaurs ignore humans, but they can bite with incredible force and of course, their size and strenght must always be taken into account.
Elasmosaurs are not very noisy, but they do produce some strange growls and a "drumming" sound underwater; the latter might be a mating call.
TRIVIA: As all marine reptiles cloned by InGen, Elasmosaurs lived in a huge aquatic enclosure in isla Nublar, which was to be opened to the public soon after the inauguration of the Park. However, when the islands were abandoned, the sea reptiles were also forgotten and it was never known what became of them, or even if they remain in the enclosure. It is not known where they lived in isla Sorna prior to their transportation to the Park.
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS

I was hopin' the Jurassic Park Lost Files would include the great fintail. The viviparous part makes sense, considerin' their body design & weight. I bet the head above water thing's due to genetic engineerin' by the scientists. Right?
It is rather due to me liking the idea of a Jurassic Park scene with a bunch of Elasmosaurus raising their necks against the horizon... :D

I see. This is different from the real-life great fintails. In real life, their eyes, I believe, faced upward, and the neck a bit inflexible, so I strongly believe that, in reality, great fintails snuck their small heads close to a school of fish, then snaps one up in strikin' range (which makes more sense to me, considerin' their anatomy), but that's just my reference to the real thing.
i knew it, there had to be another sea reptile in jurassic park
:D

I sure hope JPIV has plesiosaurs....or maybe in, like, a JPOG 2?
