Sea Monsters!
A Tylosaurus in action!
Big Tylosaurus eats smaller cousin
A Styxosaurus
These are some of the stars of a National Geographic adventure documentary film made in 3D for IMax presentation that is currently doing the rounds worldwide. While strictly speaking not a giant monster film as such, it features some fairly monstrous giants.
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure follows the journey of a dolichorynchops (familiarly known as ”Dolly”) through a great inland ocean that divided North America in two during the Late Cretaceous period. From her spot near the bottom of the food chain, Dolly comes across pleisosaurs, huge turtles, gigantic fish, prehistoric crocodiles and sharks, “and the most dangerous sea monsters of all”, the Tylosaurs.
The National Geographic website includes a trailer, lots of information and cool 3D renditions of the sea monsters themselves. Just try to imagine them attacking New York or Tokyo and you’ll be fine!
