    What the hell,the theory that Plesiosaurs ever crawled out onto land is bollocks
  • @mikesnyder1788
    Great content!!! So much information on Elasmosaurus!!! Two thumbs way up!!!!!!
  • @Charlie-1022
    Plesiosaurs, one of the greatest celebrities of the prehistoric oceans. Well especially Elasmosaurus.
  • @Neonblue84
    Great work again. Thanks for your effort. I'm looking forward to the next part
  • I had a theory that the reason ichthyosaurs possibly went extinct because they were probably out competed by plesiosaurs and perhaps also hunted by early mosasaurs to extinction.
  • Killing it again .great vid.....I was looking for detailed info on plankton and copepods ....I thought You did it already but it might be part of another video.....if not ..maybe put that on the list .The little ones never get any love.
  • Do you know that Liopleurodon is relatively smaller than Predator X (Pliosaurus funkei)? Since Pliosaurus is larger, Liopleurodon actually measures up to 7 m long, which is actually the same size as the great white shark. 🦖🦕🦈🐲🐋

    Pls, no with the AI voice. Anything is better than that voice.
