Fascinating Extinct Animals You’ll Wish Were Still Around

Plesiosaurus

Discovered by the phenomenal Mary Anning (who essentially created the science of palaeontology), the Plesiosaurus existed in the early Jurassic period, nearly 200 million years ago. There were many other long-necked sea creatures at around this period in history, and they have created the basis for the modern myth of the Loch Ness Monster.
