title = "Research of gliding performance of the plesiosaurus",
abstract = "Plesiosaurus is an oceanic reptile that lived in the {"}dinosaur era{"} and only the fossils left in the ground tell us its history. There were two types of plesiosaurus, a longer neck type and a shorter neck type. Our purpose in this paper is to clarify the longitudinal gliding performance of these ancient reptiles and this will be partly helpful to disclose of their preying behavior. We will investigate the performance difference of the longer neck plesiosaurus and shorter neck plesiosaurus, and show that we confirmed the obvious difference depending on the length of neck. This result suggested the difference of preying behavior and motion in the ocean.",
