Ichthyosaurs

'''Mixosaurus fossils have been found on most of the world for they may have been a very common species of primitive Ichthyosaurs during the Triassic and possibly one of the smallest and seems to be also going through an evolutionary stage between species like Cymbospondylus and Ichthyosaurus. Looks can be deceiving when it's tail looked as if it wouldn't be a very fast creature but, because of how widespread they were they might have been much faster and more efficient predators than they appear to be. They would have fed on small fish, invertebrates, small marine reptiles and even cephalopods like ammonites and squids, though they themselves would be considered as prey to other larger marine predators like sharks or even larger Ichthyosaurs.'''

'''Their eyesight would have been pretty good under water for it would allow them to see with great night vision as well, allowing them hunt prey that normally goes up closer to the surface when it hits night time. '''
