Temnodontosaurus was an ichthyosaur from the early Jurassic found in Europe (England & Germany) which grew to 9 meters (30 ft). Sometimes known as Leptopterygius, this huge ichthyosaur cruised the shallow seas, hunting large squid and ammonites for their large eyes (though they were not as large as the Temnodontosaurus itself.) In fact, the Temnodontosaurus has one of the largest sets of eyes in known history.
