Prehistoric marine reptiles lived in various habitats, such as oceans, seas, and estuaries. They were adapted to life in marine environments and often inhabited coastal areas where they could find food and shelter. Some species, like ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, were well-suited for deep-sea exploration, while others, like mosasaurs, thrived in shallower waters.
