Ahh the nostalgia I still remember back in the day when I first saw walking with dinosaurs and for the next few years thought that liopleurodon was in excess of 80 feet long Them were the days man
Noice coverage! I've been hoping for a marine reptile full length video and this delivered. Cant wait to see more Western interior seaeay coverage as well
Top ten smallest sauropods Nice video. That last one’s weight And the massive fluctuations in order, there could have been a blue whale sized icthyosaur. The bigger you are the harder to fossilize properly
I remember watching walking with dinosaurs as a kid and being in complete disbelief at the size of liopleurodon, turns out I was right not to believe it
The music unlocked memories of school for me. Good memories, but my brain couldn't comprehend what i was listening to for two seconds, and then boom! A kaleidoscope of sitting in the dark and watching sciencd videos in an elementary school classroom.
This was fun! The idea that blue whales may not bet the biggest creature that had ever existed on the Earth is both fascinating and scary af at the same time.
Potential idea for you’re next top 10 video (if you diced to make anothere one) would be about the largest prehistoric terrestrial mammals that ever lived
Seeing Liopluerodon emerge from the gloom in The Cruel Sea chapter of Walking with Dinosaurs actually gave me the shivvers first time I saw it! In my mind it will always be 80 feet long lol
It could be for a variety of reasons. Many of the giant animals we know an love today get that way by eating the smaller creatures we wouldn't expect, like Whales and Krill. That could also be true of Ichthyosaurs
@@AbeHJ They are a thing nowadays to today’s modern Penguins are very aquatic birds that means they are marine aquatic dinosaurs because birds are dinosaurs but the Non-Avian Dinosaurs are mostly semi-aquatic which means they are mostly not fully aquatic like penguins are.
You mentioned that mosasaurs didn't have the best sense of smell, but given that their two closest potential relatives today are the snakes and monitor lizards which have forked tongues that utilize the vomeronasal organ (Jacobson's organ) to track prey is there any research that mosasaurs may have had a similar system?
Wait what about thallasosuchians ? Those were fully marine crocodiloformes with legs turned into flippers tailflukes and probably scaleless skin(heard/read sth like this about them quite a while ago but im not sure tho) skin and all, they should be included imo
You should do a video talking about the Megafauna of Pleistocene North America such as Woolly and Columbian Mammoths, Smilodons and Jeffersons Ground Sloths in the future
I remembering subscribing because of your Top 10 videos! I love Prehistoric Marine Reptiles and creatures so this was an awesome video! I also thought the Perucetus Colossus may be the largest but you must not have mentioned it because there's not any concrete evidence to support this, right? As it could have been 85 or 345 US Tons.
This fascinates me, what was in our waters during the ancient era, in the ice age I wonder what the top predator was in the water or if there were any large crocodiles like Deinosuchus around👀 also I bet the fishing was top notch
Nice list but there are some issues you did not adress. The 49 t and 80 t body masses for Cymbospondylus and sikanniensis respeectively have already been heavily disproven by Markus Buhler and The Vividen video about the Swiss Tyrant. Thoses guys were huge but slender remember. Even 30 t for popularis seems a bit on the high end. This does not mean larger ichthyosaurs like Lilstock and Aust did not reach 80 t but it is unprobable a 21 m sikanniensis did. Other than that, there have been various published body masses estimates for pliosaurs recently. Sachicasaurus has been estimated by Paul (2022) at 13.5 t and the all recent article about plesiosaurs size by Zhao (2024) suggests 17 t for Sachicasaurus. The author also concludes the largest fragmentary pliosaurs reached and exceeded 20 t. So pliosaurs should still be higher on the list. I doubt there is any published estimate for Tylosaurus at 10 t even if I did hear paleontologists giving it 8 t...
The lower sikanniensis estimate is based on the idea it war a Shastasaurid, and here it was considered a Shonisaurid, so 80 sounds reasonable to me. Also the Tylosaurus specimen "Bruce" may have reached up to 18 tons, so his estimate is not too big, it might be too small in fact.
Others: watching the video normally. Me:having a breakdown from listening the intro song ik most people know it's origin/original vid but ik that from someone named tierzoo
This list is pretty bad Tylosaurus maxes at a scale slamming 18 tonnes iirc with the specimen known as "Bruce". Can also get 16 tonnes with Bunker iirc, this would make it significantly larger than Mosasaurus Himalayasaurus is also significantly larger than the top 2, being iirc 45 tonnes I get it, theyre undescribed, but theyre too massive to just put off the list... why wouldnt you include the remains of the super massive ichthyosaurs? Its not like they dont exist, they just dont have a description Itd be like saying "Titanovenator" isnt an abelisaur because nobody's described it despite having an intact skull

The bigger you are the harder to fossilize properly
Smaller animals find it harder to fossilize (more delicate bones); bigger animals find it harder to be preserved WELL (too big to cover)
@@bkjeong4302 thanks for correcting me
I miss phrased
*the bigger you are the harder to properly cover and preserve

Well done and thanks for sharing!
Definitely make more, it’s always fun to see/learn about new creatures that I haven’t heard off!! Keep up the great work!!
Would love to see you make a top 10 underrated ones

You should make a top 10 smallest marine reptiles
Why did marine animals grow so huge in Triassic even though there were more foods available in Cretaceous and Jurassic?
Lack of competition im assuming.
It could be for a variety of reasons. Many of the giant animals we know an love today get that way by eating the smaller creatures we wouldn't expect, like Whales and Krill. That could also be true of Ichthyosaurs
The world had just been decimated at the Permian/Triassic mass extinction and they took advantage of the lack of competition.
thanks, I like these kinds of videos

I'm pretty sure pliosaurs are just a group of plesiosaurs. They're just plesiosaurs with a pliosauromorph body plan.
Wasn't Liaoningosaurus, an Ankylosaurid Piscivore, a fully aquatic Dino?
Thanks to the man, myth, and legend that is Nigel Marvin, I have in fact heard of Cymbospondylus
Nice list but there are some issues you did not adress.

The lower sikanniensis estimate is based on the idea it war a Shastasaurid, and here it was considered a Shonisaurid, so 80 sounds reasonable to me.
Also the Tylosaurus specimen "Bruce" may have reached up to 18 tons, so his estimate is not too big, it might be too small in fact.
can you make a video of all spinosauroids
"And weighing up to *_TEN TONS"_*
What about the really big one from walking with dinosaurs?
Himalayasaurus has left the chat:
Why was Shastasaurus only an honorable mention? I thought they were supposedly huge. Also where did you get this information from?
Is the theory of mosasaurs using their skulls as a battering ram still valid, or not anymore?
But the mosasaurus is my favorite
All giant marine predators thinking they are the absolute king predator of all time, then a pod of orcas come in...
