Also, anyone remember this dude from 'Walking With Dinosaurs'?

(and I just realised this was probably from after one of the most traumatic TV moments I have seen in my life)

Halloween is near, and there is something in the dark...

In 2017 I built a life-size Liopleurodon head for Wollaton Hall Museum, Nottingham. More on this soon.

A huge 6-meter-long Liopleurodon ferox ambushes an unfortunate juvenile Cryptoclidus and camps its toothy jaws upon the small plesiosaur’s head 160 million years ago in the warm, shallow seas of what is now the Oxford Clay Formation of England.

WWD's insanely oversized Liopleurodon ferox is infamous, and for good reason, but what doesn't get mentioned nearly as much is the other end of the scale. Ichthyosaurs were a diverse group, but some of the species from the late Triassic and early Jurassic were monstrously huge.

How huge? This huge.

Ichthyotitan is a more recent discovery, known mostly from fragmentary remains, so estimates to its size and weight are based on smaller, more complete relatives (Besanosaurus in this case), but not only show it dwarfing Pliosaurus funkei, the Pliosaur closest to the ridiculous size of WWD's Liopleurodon, but also being bigger than the oversized reconstruction as well.

It's most likely still lighter than the Blue Whale, but finding a larger specimen isn't impossible.

Ichthyotitan probably still wouldn't be dragging any unfortunate Megalosaurs down into the depths with it, though. We're not entirely sure what they ate, many of the largest Ichthyosaurs are reconstructed as being suction-feeders, similar to modern Sperm Whales, but recent finds have suggested that Shonisaurus did in fact have teeth, and big, deeply-rooted conical ones that suggest it was a macropredator, more akin to a giant, oceanic crocodile than a whale.

Be very careful when sailing in the open sea, since if you see lights dancing under the surface it is Liopleurodon distracting you moments before devouring you in one bite, boat and everything.
