Once the age of the dinosaurs came to an end, you might think our planet's oceans would be a somewhat safer place. Afterall, Earth had lost much of its marine reptile diversity, including plesiosaurs and mosasaurs. However, the oceans after the age of the dinosaurs were still dominated by reptiles, such as giant sea snakes, and Assistant Curator of Paleontology Dr. Adam Pritchard is here to tell you all about these ancient serpents in this latest episode of "Tales of Ancient Life"!
