p.s. once was discovered another prehistoric water reptile, it was SCIENTIFICALLY named godzilla, because its head had very close shape to the american movie godzilla’s head, so no need to worry about predator x
btw. the picture of the astronaut is hella disturbing

p.s. artbot. liopleurodon was 30 feet long, maybe only 24 feet long. p.s. it is not a joke, it was really named so, because it is too early to give it scientifical name and this name is awesome and fits the real thing right?

p.s. extreme infreno: this had shorter neck than plesiosaurs maybe because it was pliosaur, not plesiosaur. plesiosaur – long neck, small head, pliosaur – short neck, big head. clear? ok.

actually, it was pliosaur, which has anything common with dinosaurs. whoever wrote the article had no idea of basic taxonomy. pterosaurs, ichtyosaurs, plesiosaurs and pliosaurs aren’t dinosaurs, just prehistoric reptiles. dinosaurs were ground and oly ground. flying/swimming = not a dino. clear? ok.

it seems to have quite a short neck compared to other plesiosaurs though….

If we lived in that time, it would have been super-awesome for about ten minutes, then …not so much. Could you imagine how hard it would be to reel in a fish? Fry up some dino-bacon without the smell attracting other carnivores? Good times.

That looks a lot like one of the monsters in Phantom Menace… Does George Lucas know about this?

Who comes up with thee names? “Predator X”? You’re joking, right.

Still, it would be no match for a Liopleurodon, which looks very similar but was close to 75 feet (!) long. It was the largest known predator ever, land or sea.

It’s so nice having a curious 3 year old to help me (re) learn all my dino stuff.

This is not, I repeat NOT a dinosaur! All dinosaurs lived on land. The aquatic cousins (and pterosaurs also) were related reptiles, but NOT dinosaurs. They were Mosasaurs, pleisiosaurs, etc…

Also note that Trex was 40 feet long. Hardly a puppy, just 20% shorter. Lets not get carried away, this is on par with Killer whales and other large predators alive today (the sperm whale also). All pretty scary.

I heard about this, being the obsessive National Geograhic fan that I am. So bizarre!
