Description
A bit of paleoart fun. He's probably a bit too big compared to the sharks, but I still like it.Prints and things: daniel-eskridge.pixels.com/fea…
Liopleurodon was a pliosaur and apex predator of the Jurassic seas. Here, the green sea monster hunts sharks in shallow waters in a kelp forest. 3D Rendering

Walking with Dinosaurs really annoyed me, I so loved the idea of a giant Pliosaur, then I learned Liopleurodon was tiny in comparison.
To be fair, there are some much larger pliosaurs that would fit the bill of giant, shark-eating pliosaur, such as "Predator X" the pliosaur found in Svalbard.
Great depiction, I'd hate to be the sharks, lol.

Nobody cares about your ad. Go buy an ad somewhere and stop being a cheap degenerate who goes on people's amazing art and comments shit like this.

wonder how is that this reptile went extinct while there are still sharks...

The answer can be quite simple when you look at its size. A large predator has to hunt large prey to fully sustain itself, but if you take away the large prey, the animal faces the risk of extinction; smaller meals just won't cut it. That's among the likeliest reasons why the Great White Shark outlived the extinct Megalodon; its smaller size meant that smaller prey animals (such as seals) can sustain its hunger a lot better.

Just when you thought it would be safe to go back into the water.

Ever seen "Walking with Dinosaurs" or "Sea Monsters" with Nigel Marvin? They are depicted pretty big there.
Also, maybe it's an really old one and that's wha it's so big?
I'm so used to the black/dark grey and white/very light grey coloration it is depicted with in the Movies/Documentation Movies I've seen, like said "Walking with Dinosaurs", it feels really strange to see in in green and yellow.

While all of BBC's documentaries are amazing, they aren't perfect and Liopleurodon is an example of that. The actual animal never grew to that size and the documentary simply made it that big for some reason. The actual animal was only 7 meters, a shrimp compared to the kaiju sized reptile in WWD and CBSM.

Very dramatic! It's odd that's there so much debate about the size. Some say liopleurodon was a giant, some say not so. Either way, thank God it's extinct!
