Dinosaurs 101

 #3 on our list.... of weird dinosaurs!

 Dinosaur or Fishing Pole?
Meet Tanner the Tanystropheus

Not technically a dinosaur, but an archosaur, Tanystropheus is the closest nature has ever come to evolving a living fishing pole. This reptile's neck was over 10 feet long, compared to only five feet for the rest of its body; clearly Tanystropheus made its living by perching on riverbanks, dipping its head into the water, and snagging unwary fish.
