Earth was once ruled over by dinosaurs, the undisputed leaders of our planet, for more than 150 million years. They would have presumably kept on administering even today, on the off chance that it had not been for the cataclysmic comet that struck our planet somewhere in the range of 65 million years prior and drove them to elimination. In any case, our planet has been around any longer than the rule of dinosaurs; thus, to believe that they were the most frightening animals to walk the Earth is incorrect.
1. Liopleurodon
The Liopleurodon was a rapacious marine reptile that had a place with the gathering of plesiosaurs, a request for wiped out Mesozoic marine reptiles. This rapacious monster stayed in the Earth's seas around 160 million years prior. It weighed more than 3,500 pounds and was more than 30 feet long. Its fossil was found in England in the nineteenth century. The animal was named Liopleurodon (articulated lee-gracious floor-goodness wear), which discovers its starting points in Greek, meaning "smooth-sided teeth."
2. Mosasaurus
Mosasaurs are accepted to have advanced from a gathering of terminated oceanic reptiles known as aigialosaurs in the Early Cretaceous time frame. They were quite possibly the riskiest animals sneaking the waters of our planet through the total of the Cretaceous time frame. The Mosasaur resembled a monster crocodile, furnished with solid blades, and could arrive at 57 feet long. The primary fossils were found in the Netherlands in 1764.
3. Megalodon
Megalodon, signifying "large tooth" (Greek), is a wiped out type of shark that lived during the Early Miocene to the furthest limit of the Pliocene time frame, some 3.6 million years prior. The monster is firmly identified with the incredible white shark and was the top hunter of the ocean during the Cenozoic period. Specialists accept that the Megalodon flourished in the profound waters of the Earth, places we people haven't investigated at this point. They were up to 60 to 70 feet and weighed more than 60 tons, making the shark the biggest known hunter throughout the entire existence of our planet.
4. Mauisaurus
This beast is named after the Maori god Maui, who pulled the islands of New Zealand up from the ocean bottom with a fish snare. The Mauisaurus, as different plesiosaurs, had a slim, long body, coming to more than 26 feet long. With 68 cervical vertebrae, the Mauisaurus is notable for having probably the longest neck (as far as vertebra number) of any plesiosaur that existed. The animal lived around 77 million years prior and, as should be obvious, was limited to the waters of New Zealand.
5. Godzilla Shark
Around 300 million years prior, perhaps the most frightening ocean animals existed – the Godzilla Shark. Fossils of the monster were found in the Manzano Mountains east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, by scientist John-Paul Hodnett in 2013. The shark was named "Godzilla" for some reasons – the external layer of its body was shrouded in scales, taking after that of a reptile. It was monstrous in size, had sharp teeth, and the biggest dorsal balance spines of any shark that has at any point lived.
6. Pliosaurus
Pliosaurus was a huge short-necked Plesiosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic time frame (155-145 mya) in Europe. The biggest species was Pliosaurus funkier, referred to casually as "Hunter X." P. funkier is known from 2 examples made out of 20,000 pieces found on the island of Svalbard, Norway. It developed to almost 13 meters (43 feet) and gauged as much as 4-8 tons (8,000-16,000 lbs).
