One of the most distinctive features of Temnodontosaurus platyodon is its large eyes, which could reach up to 8 inches in diameter. These enormous eyes suggest that Temnodontosaurus had excellent vision, which would have been crucial for hunting in the deep, murky waters where light penetration is minimal. This adaptation indicates that Temnodontosaurus was likely an active predator, relying on its keen eyesight to locate and capture prey such as fish, squid, and other marine organisms.
Temnodontosaurus had a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body that facilitated efficient and powerful swimming. Its limbs had evolved into flippers, with the front flippers being particularly large and strong, aiding in propulsion through the water. The tail was equipped with a well-developed fluke, which provided additional thrust.
