===Liopleurodon(10)===
Liopleurodon is a pliosaur and perhaps the mightiest aquatic predator of all time. Its long body can cruise silently through the shallow seas, propelled by its flapping flippers. Liopleurodon is a hunter. Its long jaws and rows of needle-sharp teeth make marine crocodiles, the giant fish Leedsichthys, ichthyosaurs and even other pliosaurs vulnerable to attack. Liopleurodon's nose allows it to smell underwater. This allows Liopleurodon to smell its prey from some distance away. Despite needing to breath air, Liopleurodon spends its entire life at sea and is unable to leave the water. Consequently, it gives birth to its young alive and visits shallower water to breed. Liopleurodon can weigh up to 150 tons, making it the third largest animal to have existed in Earth's history, after the blue whale and Leedsichthys. One more reason that would seem to suggest that Liopleurodon can grow to lengths of 25 or more meters, is the fact that like dinosaurs, pliosaurs do not stop growing with age. And because Liopleurodon had no natural predators, it can live up to 100 years. Easily enough time to grow more than 82 feet. 10-15 meters of length seems to be an accurate size for this colossal pliosaur.
