In theory, at least, the really giant mosasaurs are much bigger, in the same way that, unsurprisingly, whales are much bigger than terrestrial carnivores now.
Jurassic Park, unsurprisingly, has rather exaggerated it.
So the one from Jurassic World, it's like twice the size it should be.
But some of these things were still like 15, 20 meters.
But yeah, some of them are absolutely giant.
We had one dug up in the UK just a couple of years ago, and I got to see...
skull of it, or a cast of the skull.
And yeah, it's about the same size as a T-Rex skull.
I mean, nothing reasonably.
Like, the really big ones are going to be...
The only other thing you can really add is the, this might be a very British adage of, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
So yeah, maybe there's something a bit smaller, which is just hyper aggressive, and that would be enough to win.
Like the classic honey badgers chasing off lions.
It's not that a honey badger would win in a fight, but if the honey badger is prepared to put up that much of a fight and the lion really doesn't want to get hurt.
then, then he kind of technically wins.
Yeah, but going to T-Rex, like what could reasonably challenge it?
There's a couple of other giant Tyrannosaurs.
There's a couple of giant Carcharodontosaurs from South America that are comparable in linear measurements, but are probably rather smaller and rather lighter, in which case your money's going to be on the bigger guy with the bigger bite.
And that simply is T-Rex.
And the bite is important.
