Image captured by our staff of our large predator Mosasaurus hoffmannii (named Shaun by popular vote) in our underground viewing level, located at the "Mosasaur Bay" exhibit!

"Mosasaurs are a group of marine lizards that would have lived in the Badlands area from about 75-69 million years ago. When they were alive, Mosasaurs could reach lengths of up to 50 feet, which is roughly the length of a bus! Mosasaurs were top predators of the world’s oceans and would eat anything they could catch." ( X )
