Introduced to the world in 2009, Predator X was hailed as the most fearsome of all prehistoric creatures.

An immense, big-headed marine reptile - said to have been 50ft long with a bite four times more powerful as Tyrannosaurus rex - spawned a host of excited commentary, documentaries and even a B-movie.

Now, four years after the initial discovery of the beast's fossilised remains, Predator X has finally been given a technical description and a name - and it seems the hype overreached the facts.

Still significantly massive and fearsome, tough.

Wishing you peace, love and happiness, brother/sister.

This is not a "marine reptile" or a "reptile" as fox news so haphazardly describes... it is an AVIAN dinosaur!  

Bird. Not lizard.

Sorry but, for once, fox has it right. Pliosaurs are marine reptiles not dinosaurs. And certainly not avian dinosaurs. They evolved completely separately.

Please keep the banter about the evil "FOX News" in the political arena.

Man, I exited every pool I was ever in as a kid quicker because of the movie Jaws....    Jaws was scary to me but that thing would be a nightmare!!

Megalodon still holds the record for most powerful bite, even more than T-Rex and Predator X.

The question is, Megalodon or Predator X? Predator X is bigger (or could be) but Megalodon has a more powerful bite.

I'll always remember that video of a T-Rex vs Titanoboa with both sides being show how they would win. So, do Megalodon vs Predator X.

I was just thinking that. I saw a documentary on this same team, and that dig site photo looked like it was from the show. They found all kind of unusual new information during that show, but if it was about this exact find, they didn't know what they had at the time.
