Presumably, the sea creature had developed a way to cope with the low water temperatures. Kear and his team speculate that the beasts might have been warm-blooded like mammals and able to regulate their core body temperatures, or that they might have taken part in seasonal migrations like modern whales.
Heh... or, Doh! the whole planet was warmer. :')
