#tylosaurus rex

Tylosaurus rex (an edit to a piece I posted last month)

Here are a few drawings I’ve made of Tylosaurus rex, which at 13-14 m (approx. 43-46 ft) long is the largest species of the mosasaur genus Tylosaurus as well as one of the largest and most fearsome mosasaurs of all time. one of these artworks is titled “Always a Bigger Mosasaur” and depicts the animal devouring a juvenile of the smaller Tylosaurus proriger at the bottom. For a long time the largest Tylosaurus specimens were once considered to be a very large member of T.proriger until they were classified as T.rex a few days ago.

Tylosaurus rex (meaning "king of the tylosaurs") is a massive, extinct marine reptile that lived approximately 80 million years ago. As an apex ocean predator and one of the largest mosasaurs ever discovered, it reached up to 43 feet in length and featured sharp, serrated teeth.
