Description This is a quick little portrait of a pliosaur from Switzerland. It's a rather generic depiction, the animal could be similar to Simolestes or Liopleurodon but also potentially belongs to
the rhomaleosaurids, which are still not well understood. 
Human diver to give you a better understanding of it's size. 

Here the paper:
Rare evidence of a giant pliosaurid-like plesiosaur from the Middle Jurassic (lower Bajocian) of Switzerland link.springer.com/article/10.1…

Lovely. I really like the shades of blue you used and the way you got the shininess of the water.

Wow, very pretty. And it is indeed a big pliosaur. Should be about 8 meters in length?

Hyrotrioskjan In reply to YellowPanda2001 [2019-11-28 23:49:43 +0000 UTC]

While a lot of movies would make you think these guys would chomp ya down on sight. I feel like if these marine reptiles did survive up to now, this would be slightly more accurate. They'd be more interested in eating a much meatier prey than us.

Still i wouldn't put it past a hungry pliosaur to bypass a snack  that so readily offers itself

So beautiful! Just imagine would be riding this gorgeous reptile! Still can be terrifying by their size and their teeth would be lethal.
