Liopleurodon Ferox
The animal everyone thought was 25 meters long, but in reality only is about 7 meters in length, since the fossil of its head was estimated to have been a fifth of its body length.

If you have seen the legendary "Walking With Dinosaurs" series from 1999, then you know this massive marine reptile is one big bully. Yes yes, it is not as big as originally thought back then, but seriously tho.
Would you like to meet up with an animal like this one in the middle of the ocean? I'd much rather have a shark circling me, that's for sure.
This bad boy, had one hell of a massive jaw, also meaning a hell of a bitemark. And just 1 tooth would almost be long enough to impale you.
You would not wish to encounter this bloke on your aquatic adventures. Unless you are this big underwater teeth-train yourself.
WHAT A MAD LAD.

Hope you enjoyed. Reply to me with your answers and give short explanations.
Birds are "avian" dinosaurs, that evolved from non-avian theropod dinosaurs.
Birds evolved from reptiles, yes. Birds (avian dinosaurs) evolved from non-avian dinosaurs, which evolved from the archosaurs, the first animals capable of bipedal movement. These archosaurs would also evolve into rauisuchians and eventually crocodiles.
Theropods are "three-toed dinosaurs". However some ornithischian dinosaurs also had three toes (mainly the smaller species). Usually theropods are in general associated with most of the carnivorous dinosaurs, but also a few omnivores and herbivores like Gallimimus.
Sauropods are in the order Saurischia (Meaning lizard hips, ironically enough considering the birds evolved from this order) yes. The order which is split in two; theropoda and saurpodomorpha. Sauropods started out as pro-sauropods, of which a lot of them were bipedal or at least could walk bipedal at times.
And yes, I am pretty interested in dinosaurs, as you perhaps would be able to tell just by my name.
I have my own big collection of teeth and bones from various dinosaurs, as well as a ton of fossils from other prehistoric creatures, including a partial Tylosaurus jaw. And in a few days, I'll recieve the frontal skull of a Sigilmassasaurus, which I am pretty damn excited for.
Could perhaps post some pictures of the collection some day, but we'll see.
Didn't know how postosuchus actually got its name, that's pretty interesting. And yea, I absolutely worship "Walking With Dinosaurs". My favorite series of all time. Walking With Beasts, Walking With Monsters and Walking With Sea Monsters, are pretty dope too. Got em all on DVD hehehe. Although some of the things they state in the documentaries have been proven wrong, I still find this series to be the best "prehistoric documentaries" to be found out there. Perhaps because of the fact, that the story-telling is so damn captivating.
