Tanystropheus was a genus of the Prolacertiformes order, not the Dinosaur order. Tanystropheus was an aquatic or semi-aquatic reptile which was most likely piscivorous (or 'fish-eating'). It lived during the Triassic period in Europe and the Middle East. It had an extremely elongated neck, which measured 3 meters (10 ft) long - longer than its body and tail combined. Its skull had a long, narrow snout sporting sharp interlocking teeth. Skin impressions of Tanystropheus, showing that it was covered in semi-rectangular, non-overlapping pattern of scales. Engineering Scientists have said that it has the largest neck possible in proportion to its body under the Laws of Physics!

Jurassic Park Toys
Toy from Jurassic Park Series 2
- A Tanystropheus toy first appeared in Kenner's toyline Jurassic Park Series 2. It had a flexible neck to grab a human action figure ("constrictor neck attack"), which is an inaccurate information.
- In Kenner's Chaos Effect toyline, a mammal-like reptile appeared that was a mix of Tanystropheus and an anaconda. This toy was called Tanaconda and is a repaint of the Tanystropheus from the Jurassic Park Series 2 Tanystropheus.
