Description

After extraction of DNA from preserved remains of marine parasites, and thanks to the work of Ingen engineers, was achieved synthesize chains and then was achieved successfully recreate a mosasaur.
However, this first specimen has presented some anomalies.
The appearance of the skin is not like that of any known reptile, is not smooth or scaly as expected, is wrinkled, with several bumps. The highlight of the first specimen is large external gills sticking out of the side of the neck, which allowed him to be indefinitely underwater without the need to come up for air. Since its birth, this mosasaur has many similar characteristics to the tadpoles, initially its lacked legs and fed only plants instead of fish. When she began to grow, the limbs were present, and it's diet changed quickly, replacing the herbivore 
diet to a carnivore diet. 
After six years, this female has reached adulthood, developing most of the morphological characteristics of a mosasaur but still retaining their gills.

Has ruled out the use of this 
specimen park attractions for possible problems that would cause their appearance

Wouldn't she started eating meat first and only then transitioned to plants? After all, the digestion of plant matter requires both a longer intestine and specialized gut flora. It is believed that various large herbivorous dinosaurs such as sauropods underwent such a nutritional transformation. Even today, many herbivores eat meat in small amounts to replenish required minerals such as calcium.
