@@Superlarry257 Well spotted! 🙄.. No time for a sense of humor? Are you classified as a petrified stick in the mud? .. A joke, just a little joke lol. ✌️
I love the narrators voice, he makes the video sound so interesting. But WOW what an incredible pre historic creature that must of been and extr fast beyond the speed of any other predator! 😮
We apparently have so much audio information from his works that people have pieced together a complex AI-generated version of his voice, complete with intonations, rising tones, and emphases on different sounds. I've heard them, they sound a bit awkward sometimes but they can make it into a documentary on fictional creatures. I don't think he's too pleased with it though if I remember correctly, less about his voice being used and more about ethical implications into the future.
Yeah, predator x and pliosaurus are also up there "in terms of power" however, they could never ever hope to keep up with the speed of a mosasaurus. Mosasaurus Hoffmani, is a HUGE animal but it can reach the speeds of 30mph and can accelerate from 0 - 30mph in just a blink of an eye. How OP is that
@@UnwantedGhost1-anz25 are sharks OP? Nope!!! Not unless they have the intelligence of a whale or dolphin. Remember, Megalodon lived alongside with Livyatan, and let's compare today's orcas vs gw sharks. GW sharks almost always loses any encounter and maybe that's the same for Megalodon, also Megs are slow irl, they won't be able to outmanuever any Mosas lol
Interesting Fact: While Mosasaurus Hoffmani is regarded by many as the Largest Mosasaur, currently it's got some competition. Another Mosasaur; Tylosaurus Proriger, has some staggering estimates of approaching a possible 45ft in length, and closer to approximately 2 tons heavier, at about 14 total. While more studies and research is required to CONFIRM These results, Tylosaurus are commonly found with other mosasaur bones inside their stomachs. They were also epically violent and territorial. Tylosaurus have been found with severed Spinal Chords, bite marks of other Tylosaurs on their skulls, with teeth piercing the brain case, and many other titanic injuries. This isn't to say Mosasaurus Hoffmani is any less impressive of a predator, it was incredibly big and powerful. However, Tylosaurus, A Mosasaur discovered some 70-80-ish years ago, is still proving science wrong, and breaking the boundary of the potential of these animals, which we thought we knew for sure.
It’s just that Mosasaurus Hoffmani is the first ever specimen and of big importance in history that they use it for the documentary: the mosasaurus is named after my homecity Maastricht (the name originates from the latin Mosa Trajectum, or bridge over the river Maas). The late Cretaceous periode is called Maestrichtien as this is the layer where the first Mosasaurus was found in the marlstone quarries in the 18th century. Hoffman was the person that was interested in nature and took great interest in this find. He thought it was a crocodile though. It was when the French conquered Maastricht and took it to Paris as war spoil that it became an important piece in the evolution theory and was recognized to have lizard like features, becoming one of the first fossils to be named “saurus”.
One of the funny things is that while these creatures would've been absolutelty terrifying to have an encounter with, I strongly believe that they wouldn't watch humans as prey. So basically you could swim next to them and be at relative safety (as much as you can be with a wild animal), because to them you'd be so tiny and insignificant, that you'd be nothing more than part of the miriad of fish, not worthy of their attention.

I could see it going both ways. Orca pods are incredibly successful when it comes to bringing down large prey, since they hunt whales, but an ambush from a mosasaur could easily take out a pod member and send the pod scattering But much like any other interaction in nature, nothing is truly black and white, meaning there's no clear outcome for every instance
Like how are thry even sure that their that accurate on how it looks like or other dinosaurs alike, just coz historians agree that thats how they should look like the whole world should believe that. I'm just sayin what if they look even more badass
For an animal dead for millions of years already, i always wonder how scientists predict how fast these creatures were. I believe the fossils, but to predict how they moves sometimes ridicuolus to hear.
You underestimate how much we can understand just from the skeleton alone, by creating 3D models simulating the anatomy of the animal, scientists are able to get accurate representations of the fellas
@@HeartBrains It is. And in ten years they'll say something entirely different. It happens in a lot of fields. Their speculation isn't as reliable as they would have us believe.
It’s not that ridiculous, you just model it based on the anatomy of the muscles, then 3D simulations to predict the fastest possible speed it could go. Obviously you can never be 100% sure but it’s not really that weird
The main “issue” here is that such simulations are usually kept within the niche literature of the field, and rarely see the light of the public Even in the field, such speculations are followed by very meticulous citations So, when suddenly presented to the public with such relative confidence, it might come across as exaggerative Yes they get paleontologists to talk, but there’s still a huge difference in the public’s conception of “it’s just cool bones” vs all the computer modeling that’s happened in the last 2 decades
So Mosasaurus is the new king ? I wonder what would a match up look like between an Orca vs Mosasaurus and Nile Croc vs Mosasaurus. Spinosaurus vs Mosa would also be great.
@@CheckOutTv0 the few mosasaur fossils we have are bigger. They also had fast twitch muscles like crocodilians meaning they were far more explosive. We have a mosasaurs skull that was crushed by another mosasaur. Orcas don't have this type of explosiveness.
Looks like the creators of "Jurassic World" were not very off, when depicting a Mosasaur... I am reading that estimates of 16-17 m in length do exist, although the more likely measure is 13-14 m, as shown here.
@@mevinhauke462 Perhaps one specimen might have reached 17 m and ~25 tons (found on wikipedia, for what it is worth). But you are quite right, the mosasaur in JW was certainly too big for what we know.
@@mevinhauke462 I am not a paleontologist so I won't pretend to know better than a specialist. I had read that three studies, Grigoriev, Lingham-Soliar, and Everhart, reported 17-18 m. I understand that these studies are questioned these days, and we think that a more likely size for the Mosasaur Hoffmannii is around 13-14 m.
Reminder that larger bodies need larger prey. Except in the case of filter feeders. For a mosasaur to be as big as the Jurassic park one, there would need to be very large prey or it would need to be a filter feeder. I don’t see the filter feeder happening [but you never know] and we haven’t found prey large enough for said mosasaur yet.
Luckily that's why we have the field of biomechanics, to turn static fossilised bones into moving animals. By looking for muscle attachment points and muscle scars on these fossils we can learn a lot about the power of these creatures. From there you can run computer simulations (or physical simulations) to get to things like speed and acceleration of these animals.
@@martijn9568 Yes, and the experts reveal their findings. Then years later they change it, and again etc. Did you know many experts are now claiming the Megadolon did not look like a great white?
