A large extinct marine reptile from the Mesozoic era, belonging to the group of sea-dwelling saurians.
From Greek 'enalios' (of the sea) plus 'sauros' (lizard). The term describes any marine reptile that was technically a 'sea lizard.'
When you break down 'enaliosaur,' you're looking at a creature that was literally a 'sea lizard'—and these were some of the most fearsome predators the oceans have ever seen.
