Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.

Reason: Unrealistically bendy necks, the tails are too long and lacking tail fins, and their bodies are too long and skinny.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
