Microraptor was not a sea creature but a small feathered Dromaeosaurid dinosaur and is a link between birds and dinosaurs. Stingrays have been around since a few million years after the dinosaurs died out, and have proven to be a successful design, much like the sharks they descended from. It was thought that to see Leviathan was to be fated for death. It really bothers me when people make popsci explanations even though they clearly do not understand it themselves. "Whatever it could get its teeth into," Polcyn says, referring to the rows of 3-inch-long daggers that line the beast's 3-foot-long jaws. While the ichthyosaur measured around five meters in length, its prey wasn’t much smaller, measuring roughly four meters long. Unfortunately, this caused Amphitrite to become very jealous. It's hung up on rods and wires — a sinuous tail and neck, the rib cage and a feeble-looking arm. It lived back in the Cretaceous era, meaning that creatures that jumped in the water avoid Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurs had to contend with these; the jury is out on which is worse.

It is thought that the Grindylow was invented to keep children from wandering off into dangerous waters. They were known to wait by the edges of water (and sometimes in bathroom toilets) for victims to come by. The fossils of giant swimming reptiles called mosasaurs have been found in the rocky cliffs of Angola, overlooking the Atlantic. By Mike Wehner @MikeWehner. No problem. Both in the lab and in the field, paleontologists search for clues to explain how a species that originally came from land transformed over millions of years into a purely aquatic creature. No match one-on-one for a living mosasaur, sharks lost their teeth as they ripped the flesh off the dead reptile.

If Jurassic Park had an aquarium scene, and actually featured more animals from the Jurassic period, liopleurodon probably would have been in it.
