A tip: more pictures would be nice, like around 4:20. You could show a picture of the river splitting North America during the Cretaceous, for example. It would add more depth and outer knowledge, and I would be able to understand more about the interesting life these reality-defying creatures led. Great video man!
If you compare to the amount of marine reptiles that live today and in the past, you could think that the Mesozoic was a golden age of marine reptiles as they were the dominant marine animals of that era, it truly is fascinating on how many niches they used to fill compared to today.
Good list. The sea must have been like hell for other marine animals at the time. I think I'd have included Predator X (now formally called Pliosaurus Funkei) ahead of Liopleurodon though. They were very similar pliosaurs, but Predator X was a lot bigger
Hmmmm, just discovered this channel but I'd have given the Mosasaurus extra kudos in having been identified way before any dinosaurs, and helped Cuvier begin to understand extinction.
I was watching Charlie the unicorn today and then I clicked on this only to find a liopleurodon and I just immediately thought "it's a liopleurodon, Charlie!"
I must pick a little at the idea that Nothosaurus had a behavior similar to today's seals. Sealions perhaps. Seals front extremities are on the side and out of the water they're slow and awkward compared to a sealing. But, as I said, that's just me being picayunish/trivial. Excellent video, as always!
+Irritator It's for an award that I'm working towards, and Dr Martill agreed to let me help out at the University. You can see the project I'm doing with him in my 100 subs special :)
Whenever I fantasize of these "sea monsters" surviving until today I think "but humans may have never set out on rafts and early watercraft designs if these beasts roamed!" Indeed, we might not be as widespread and advanced as we are now! Sure, iron ships and even large wooden ships could have allowed mankind a superiority over almost any marine creature, but would we have ever dared to venture onto the dark deep sea in the times of early sailing?
science claims that the blue wale is the largest creature ever to live on earth. The other day it suddenly popped into my head that allot of the evidence we have of ancient shark species comes solely from their teeth but because their skeletons don't fossilise well. Not all sharks have teeth. is it possible that an ancient filter feeding shark could been even bigger? will we ever know? evolution is fascinating.
R.I.P to all the extinct marine reptiles. Gone but not forgotten
Indeed. Their fossils will remain with us always.
There not necerally extinct they could still exist for our ocean are very little explored

: wishful thinking I'm afraid. The chances of any of them still being alive is somewhere between none & zero.

I love liopleurodon
+Gianmarco Melita So do I, it's awesome :)
It’s showing us the way!
My favourite is the kronosaurus personally
The Pliosaurids are my favorite marine reptiles.
+White Spinosaurus I'm more of an ichthyosaur guy myself, but pliosaurs are a close second :)

I think all these ancient animals are just so awesome.
Really cool!! More on prehistoric sharks plz!
You didn't include Shastasaurus the largest marine reptile of all time
I wander if kronosaurs was a time traveler.
+here's p lol yeah maybe. Such an awesome name as well.
Aha! Clever...
Kronosaurus means "Time for Lunch"
@@passthebutterrobot2600 It means "Cronus Lizard".
Do Top 10 Prehistoric Big Cats.
You got yourself a new sub! I hope you upload more list videos.
Thank you very much :) And I do have more lists on their way :D

his voice is so different to now
my top ten is 10 liopleurodon 9 ophtalmosaurus 8 cryptocleidus 7 tylosaurus 6 kronosaurus 5 mosasaurus 4 elasmosaurus 3 nothosaurus 2 ichtyosaurus 1 plesiosaurus
Good video
+Jacob Bund Thanks :)
Anyone else think that the deep water marine reptiles like Abyssosaurus and Phosphorosaurus deserve more attention?
If I could like 20 times I would
+TitanCJM Thanks, I'm glad you liked it :)
np
TitanCJM just get 20 UA-cam account and like the video
Damn Ben sounds young here
Nice video Ben G.
+Irritator Thank you :) Also I forgot to tell you, I met the person who named Irritator, Dr David Martill :D
Ben G Thomas Where did you get the priveledge to do that?? :D
+Irritator It's for an award that I'm working towards, and Dr Martill agreed to let me help out at the University. You can see the project I'm doing with him in my 100 subs special :)
Ben G Thomas Interesting, your a lucky guy.
+Irritator Thanks :)
I also like dakosaurus. anyone else?
I need more deets. All the details
My son liked this and his favourite is the arcledon
I have never heard of one of them. But great video nonetheless. 👍
0:50 it sounds like he says "Coronasaurus"
They're the evolution of reptiles, but wiped out,. Imagine if they exist today, it's fascinating, Especially plesiosaur and Itchyosaur
I thought BBC showed Pliosaurus aka Predator X not Liopleurodon
MAGICAL LIOPREURODON!
Elasmosaurus I call the sauropod of the ocean
Cool stuff
Shonisaurus and shastasaurus!
Mosasaur is #1 ( my opinion)

I disagree, Humans, or at least some humans will take it as a challenge to be conquered
If giant marine reptiles were still around when humans first took to the seas, we would have probably hunted them to extinction. It's what we do.
My favourite marine reptile is opthalmosaurus
Can’t believe I hadn’t seen this before. 👍😎
I know the Plesiosaur from dino Dan trek’s adventures
King of all marine reptiles
PREDATOR X 😎
Mossosaurus isnt realy spacific tho
Plesiosaur
no Predator X?

Most animal species don't leave a fossil around to be discovered so we don't ever know most of the animals that lived on earth.
I know the perfect intro for this video:
ua-cam.com/video/NBQJjqnG1iI/v-deo.html
+Simon Ring Haha nice! You're right that would fit perfectly :)
Ben G Thomas
At least the first 13 seconds. The stuff after that not so much...
+Simon Ring Yeah true... they could be nuking the over-sized Walking with Dinosaurs Liopleurodon though :D
Ben G Thomas it
so huge
Why couldn't number 7 be predator x
Many of them look much like crocodiles with fins.
Been watching for at least 2 weeks just noticed I never subbed.....
Is it bad that I'm studying ecology and outside of academic circles I still refuse to call Aquatic Dinosaurs their boring technical name 😅
What about lock ness monster
Nessie is clearly a freshwater plesiosaur, so it doesn't count. Marine reptiles only
Wait... I thought paleontologists decided dinosaurs weren’t reptiles?... I thought they were related to birds? I’m confused now.
their generally believed to be both , as in theropods specifically are believed to be the reptilian ancestors to birds
Still like marine reptiles more than dinosaurs and pterosaurs
The mosasaurus is bigger on that top one
kronosaurus in total lenth was 17 meters and 74 ft
@Alexander Dashit It's only 10 meters long.
Tylersaurous
Lol it pisses me off when People who say marine dinosaurs or sea dinosaurs thank you for actually calling them by there real name
Top 10 causes of Thalassophobia
You sound wierd 5 years ago bro
The mosasaurus bigger
I love megalodon
Iwant megalodon
a tumour of misinformation
you forgot megalodon
Megalodon isn't a reptile.
It's a fish not a reptile
You forgot what a shark is, guy with a name i cannot type on my computer.
Read the description boxمانامي شان
I don't understand how ichthyosaurus are said to be reptiles when they look just like fishes or more specifically dolphins.
