Many unconfirmed Plesiosaurus sightings have been reported in modern history. Most famously at Loch Ness in Scotland!

Feeling the Plesiosaurus was closer to modern reptiles, William Conybeare and Henry De la Beche named it ‘near lizard’.

In classical art and reconstructions, the Plesiosaurus was often depicted with its neck arcing out of the water.

Did you know that the Plesiosaurus was the first plesiosaur to be discovered? It was unlike anything they’d seen before!
