Liopleurdon (Video)
Liopleurodon was a huge marine predator that prowled the sea of late Jurassic England.
Liopleurodon was an apex predator in the Jurassic sea around 155 million years ago. It would have hunted a variety of Plesiosaurs and Icthyosaurs. Its four long, powerful flippers indicate i was a strong and potentianally fast swimmer. Its size has been a debate for years. Maximum size estimates vary from 6 metres to 10 metres. Some material of a Pliosaur was discovered and estimates range it at 15 metres (50 feet) long. But these havent been assigned to Liopleurodon.
A rather inaccurate display was in the third episode of Walking With Dinosaurs. They showed Liopleurodon at being 25 metres (82 feet) long and weighing nearly 150 tonnes. But this view of Liopleurodon has been widely accepted by the public.
