Meaning of "ichthyosauria" in English

Ichthyosauria refers to an extinct order of marine reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic era. These creatures were highly adapted to life in the water, resembling modern dolphins in body shape, with streamlined bodies and elongated snouts. They were predators that fed on fish and other marine organisms. The name "Ichthyosauria" is derived from the Greek words "ichthys" meaning fish and "sauros" meaning lizard, highlighting their fish-like appearance. These reptiles are an important part of paleontological studies to understand the evolution of marine life.
