This GIANT Prehistoric Sea Lizard Dominated The Oceans | Dinosaur Documentary

It's discoveries like Thalassotitan's which fuel these amazing creations, and to see these reptiles brought to life, in all their terrifying glory, is something we are lucky to experience. Thalassotitan may have been a terrifying apex predator, but it was also an animal, with its own life, its own likes and dislikes, worries and pastimes. These creatures were much more complex than we give them credit for, and that is what makes prehistory so interesting. Thalassotitan will go down in the annals of prehistory as one of the most remarkable creatures of the weird and wonderful Cretaceous, without a doubt.

Thalassotitan is the reason I have Thalassophobia.

Love this stuff and the John Wayne's Impossible Groove Machine. 🤣😂

I’m a big fan of the Monarch Monsterverse. I’m looking forward to the Apple+ Monarch series and the upcoming Godzilla/Kong movie in April. I’ll definitely watch anything with Godzilla. Including Shin Godzilla.

Can we all just appreciate that Nasus has a side hustle as a youtuber?

[icekangaroo]

You’re videos are such high quality. Love videos like this

Stop showing inappropriate images in these videos. Why show a baleen whale when talking about orcas and great whites? Why show a fossil brachiop[od when discussing mosasaur teeth? This problem is endemic in all these videos to varying degrees and somewhat taints otherwise good material.

[peterolbrisch]

That name really needs to be shortened.

[kevinklingner]

Strange how they forget about the giant megalodon.

[Tennisurchin]

Wow, the narrator's whispering voice is so irritating.

[needfoolthings]

Describes sharks.
Goes on to describe something completely different with "like something out of Jaws".
Which would be sharks.

That's bad writing, the kind that gives me tinnitus.
I'm outta here and unsubscribed.

[lavarclemmons]

He is lying the ancient mosasaurus were creatures that walk on land then they went into the sea and now that's what why we got whales and Wells turns into hippos

[mikloslegrady]

What a waste of footage. Much filler at the start of this video.

There is no evidence that any Pterosaurs "SKIM FED" on any bodies of water! In fact studies show that since they had very fragile hollow bones including their skulls and jaws, they would have snapped off their lower jaw just by lowering it into water while flying ! If you have ever fallen while water skiing or dove into water front high point, you know how "hard" water is! BS on the bad research for this show!
