Sachicasaurus is a giant plesiosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Colombia, around 130 million years ago. Long-necked elasmosaurids like it hunted fish and squid with four flippers in the shallow seas that once covered much of South America. The name comes from the region where the skeleton was found.
