Yeah, given that it is a marine predator which must’ve been countershaded. The reconstruction Mark Dubeau provided for Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure, more than 10 years ago, looks very outdated these days; the animal is not countershaded properly (I think most Mesozoic marine reptiles were countershaded, as proven by fossilized pigmentation) and it lacks the tail fluke typical of most mosasaurs (they actually shared such a trait with another group of extinct marine reptiles, the fish-shaped ichthyosaurs, which the mosasaurs replaced after 100 million years ago when the ichthyosaurs went extinct)

Um, I understand that the Mark Dubeau Mosasaur is inaccurate. It is just that you saying that was unnecessary to for my reply.
I hope this doesn't offend you.
