Kronosaurus queenslandicus

Kronosaurus is not a dinosaur, but a pliosaur, a marine reptile which lived in the vast inland sea that covered western Queensland between 110 and 100 million years ago. Kronosaurus is named after Kronos, the Greek god of time, who was so terrible that he ate his children. Kronosaurus is known from many specimens. It was approximately 13 metres long, and had teeth the size of bananas. It roamed the inland sea hunting ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, turtles and large fish, and was the most ferocious and largest sea creature of its time. Kronosaurus has a skull up to 2m long. Kronosaurus swam through the water using its large flippers, but had to surface regularly as it was an air breathing animal.
