**0 to 15 MPH in a Single Swipe: New Research Reveals How Ancient Giant Sea Monsters Ambushed Their Prey**
By Rutgers University - Published on 21 October 2026
Giant marine reptiles that dominated prehistoric oceans may have relied on surprisingly different hunting strategies. A giant marine reptile that lived during the age of dinosaurs may have reached speeds of roughly 15 miles per hour with a single powerful sweep of its tail. That estimate, calculated for an exceptionally large Tylosaurus, describes a brief [...]
