The Ichthyosaurus was an aquatic apex predator of it’s time. Measuring roughly 9ft in length, this 500 lb creature ruled the oceans up until nearly the time that Mosasaurs entered the scene. With a long mouth, filled with sharp carnivorous teeth. Imagine a bulbous meat eating dolphin, and you pretty much get the idea.

How do you measure up?
