}}A "'''Swimming Sharptooth'''" makes a small appearance in {{Film|4}}. It lives in the [[Mysterious Beyond]], and possibly lives in a river area, as it appears there in the film. Though what specific genus of plesiosaur it is intended to represent is unknown, a number of fans believe that it is a ''[[Hydrotherosaurus]]'' or a ''Pleisiosaurus''.
A ''Hydrotherosaurus'' appears in ''[[The Land Before Time IV: Journey through the Mists]]''. Some LBT fans mistake to be an Elasmosaurus, because of his long neck. But closely resembles that of a Plesiosaurus, a smaller of cousin of the Elasmosaurus and Hydrotherosaurus.

*The swimming sharptooth's color is brown instead of gray in the 2014 remastered DVD re-release of the film.
*The Hydrotherosaurus was the fourth swimming sharptooth to appear in The Land Before Time franchise, the first swimming sharptooth to appear in the franchise was a Nothosaurus, but this is disputed,because the [[Metriorhynchus]] could also classify, but is more related to belly-draggers. A pefect term for such a sharptooth would possibly "Long-necked Sharptooth".

*The plesiosaur is the fourth [[Swimming Sharptooth]] to appear in ''The Land Before Time'' franchise.
*He was maybe a Macroplata with a long neck because of his sharp teeth, but this hard to determine since the Plesiosaur reptiles in some media is portrayed as a meat-eater.

*This plesiosaur is the first and so far only one of its species in the franchise.
*He closely bears resemblance the famous legendary Loch Ness Monster in Loch Ness, Scotland.

*The plesiosaur looks similar to a real ''[[Elasmosaurus]]'', but [[Elsie]], who is confirmed to be an ''Elasmosaurus'' from {{Film|5}}, looks different, due to her having a crest on her head.
