A large headed pliosaur from the late Jurassic. Noted for its gargantuan size in the documentary Walking with Dinosaurs, it could grow to a more modest ~30ft.
It was an ambush hunter that targeted sizeable fish, cephalopods, and other marine reptiles.

Quick note that following me on social media does NOT mean it's ok to physically touch me at an event. Also, if I've rarely interacted with you, and you talk to me about my social media posts then give me a gift, that is creepy and parasocial.

Folks, I have a solution: no-one is allowed to hold power once they reach 50. Decisions need to be made by young people who will live through the consequences, not deranged old men who only care about their legacy.
