The digitally generated image showcases these two prehistoric creatures in all their glory. The scene unfolds underwater, with the deep blue hues of the ocean creating an immersive backdrop. The long neck and streamlined body of the elasmosaurid plesiosaur can be seen gracefully swimming through the water, its powerful jaws open wide in anticipation.
