DChalo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Did those dinosaurs with long necks that swam eat mosaurus or is it the other way around? Which was stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Menser Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Ok...I'll bite. if we are talking the same size here, Pleisiasaurs are structurally weaker than the Mosasaur The long neck and long teeth are more designed (IMO) for catching moving prey like fish. Mosasaurs are basically another kind of crocodile-big jaws, short powerful neck, solid teeth that allow for a good crushing bite. No contest here. These teeth won't break easy. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THobern Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm not sure why people are so suspicious of the question, but the obvious problem with it is that neither were dinosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DChalo Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah, some guy said the largest pleisasaur was 90 ft and the largest mosasaur was 60 feet, but i said, "Half the pleisasaur was its neck, so it really is 45 ft" So the other guy says "But mosasaurs had large tails." And i said, "They can use their tails to swim faster and as weapons." and he left the chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
