Protomosaurus may not have been an actual species, but I guess it is interesting to see monitor lizard-like creatures that have evolved to become Mosasaurs.

We have yet to find something like it. It's out there.

Considering even the most arid-dwelling varanid lizard can swim well it is a little dramatic to show the Protomosasaurus to be so hesitant to flee into the ocean from predators. Varanids are already well adapted to feed on aquatic life by being able to use their forked tongue to smell prey underwater and a strong paddle-like tail.

It's all about the average ocean temperature. Modern water monitors could probably return to the ocean if it were much warmer.

Now I can see why Mosasaurs are related to Monitor Lizards because the Protomosaurus looks like a monitor lizard

To be fair, Protomosasaurus is actually a fictional creature, possibly a hypothetical one created to theorize about the origin of Mosasaurs.

Cool dinos!

i searched for hours, looked at a lot of pages, em, finally, just when I was going to make a mistake, I saw the comments and found out that the protomosasaur was not a real living being, so it gave me textured water (Turkish term, I'll open brackets because it's a word, so I opened brackets)

Would have been more appropriate to call this animal Aigialosaurus or Opetiosaurus

Really cool 👍

Wow

Protomosaurus look like monitor lizard and same as the mosaurus.

So many inaccuracies. 1) Mosasaurus would only evolve live birth AFTER it became predominantly semi-aquatic. Not while it still is a lizard with legs. Until going out to shorelines would actually be somewhat impossible or difficult, they would just lay eggs in the sand like real sea turtles do. 2) It wouldn’t just be one individual who randomly decided to jump in the water once. This species would gradually move to shorelines and explore water, until their young would become more and more adapted to swimming via natural selection.
