"I realise why I am so fascinated by plesiosaurs. They are counterintuitive. They don't make sense as aquatic animals. How can a creature swim with a long neck held out in front of its' body? Hydrodynamic nonsense. I think of the mounted Thallasomedon in New York, with its' neck, all 68 vertebrae, stretching out over the gallery. A ridiculous animal. It doesn't make sense
Yet they did make sense. They dominated the marine environment for a hundred million years. Whatever they were doing, they were doing it very well. Plesiosaurs are unlike any modern animals. They have no descendants, and there are no modern analogues. I know that there is a piece missing from the picture. Something we can't see that makes the living, breathing animal work as an efficient predator. It may be an aspect of behaviour, or soft tissues, or even something that has been staring us in the face for two hundred years which nobody has noticed yet.
That's what feeds the fascination."

Too well, just told us all that she was naughty.
Tell her she's a fermented aubergine.
