What is the largest prehistoric animal?

Above is a link to a scale representation of prehistoric sea creatures. For the looks of it Leedsichthys seems to be the biggest sea creature. Megalodon was estimated to be around 33 feet in length. The Liopluredon was an estimated 25 feet. The Sarcosuchus was estimated to be 37-40 feet. Thus leaving the Leedsichthys, Leedsichthys Problematicus was a giant pachycormid (an extinct group of bony fish) that lived in the oceans of the late Jurassic period, 165-155 million years ago. Only partial skeletons have been discovered, so its exact size is uncertain. Estimates range from 15 to 30 meters, but the best estimates believe it to have grown to around 20-22m (= 66 to 72 feet) long, making it the largest fish ever to exist. Hopefully this helps. By no means is this answer absolute I am not educated in Prehistoric Sea Creatures, it's just data gathered from searching the Internet, as well as various National Georgraphic sites I have come across. There is a program that is hosted by Nigel Marvin called Prehistoric Sea creatures that touches upon all creatures listed above.---The Megalodon has actually been recorded to be 55-60 feet in length, I also found this out from a Nat Geo site. I am also not a "Prehistoric Sea Creature" specialist.. but I've looked everywhere on the internet to find the definite world's largest. Just to put in "Predator X" or "Liopleurodon" measured up to 50 feet in length.


What is the biggest dinosaur on Earth?

There are a couple problems with your question seeing as swimming dinosaurs didn't exist, and I'm not sure what you mean by gigantic world, but I will do my best to answer it. The largest aquatic reptile from the time of the dinosaurs was a carnivirous pliosaur 15m long. It is unamed. The largest ocean going creature at the time was Leedsichthys, a massive fish 27m long.

Did fish live during dinosaur ages?

No. In fact, humans evolved about 65 million years after all the dinosaurs died out. When the dinosaurs became extinct, mammals were given room to expand and diversify so that humans could eventually arise. During dinosaur times, mammals were forced to remain small and insignificant.


Is predator-x a real live dinosaur that's alive?

Predator x is a ginormous beast that was 99000 tons and it had lots and lots of teeth that where like blades that will peel through your flesh and bone!Predator x had some tough challenges in its life like the megalodon shark which is now extinct from the giant medeoroide the leedsichthys which was the first fish[giant whale]to set foot in the water and the liopleurodon which was quite similar to predator x.It had shrp teeth just like predator x!Predator x really is a dinosaur that still lives in the arctic and pacific ocean!That is why i have never set foot in the water!There is also a story between me and the predator x.We are a big rivalry!My god father stepped in the water and that would be his last!He was in the pacific ocean on a sail boat and a few days later he went scuba diving.That is when he went in the under water tunnel that led to his death!I am petrified of the water.I wont even go in my in ground pool!I did not know about my god fathers death untiland evil thing came on.THE NEWS!They told us about the incident and caught a ginormous figure on tape.It was...PREDATOR X!
