Thought this little critter might interest y'all.
“Mosasaurs ate almost anything they wanted, and I mean this quite seriously,”
“Mosasaur fossils have been found with other mosasaurs in their stomachs, as well as fish, invertebrates, and so on.”

Mosasaurs made it to the Cretacious period and they died out with the rest of the dinosaurs

They are the largest known carnivore in history. They grow up to be over 25 m long and weigh several tons.

Mosasaurs, i seen a little piece on TV the other night on them. Aligators are decendants of these, yes? And aligators tend to eat anything too. Even other gators.

Crocodillians and Mosasaurs share a common ancestor called archosaurs, but crocodillians never evolved from mosasaurs...They actually lived side-by-side. The common ancestor also gave way to pterosaurs and dinosaurs.
Also, crocodillians would never eat their young.

The Blue Whale is the largest animal in history. Up to 30m. And they are carnivores.

uh, blue whales are filter feeders, correct? they eat krill and tiny fish, they may be carnivorious but i doubt they would even try to eat that thing, even though they were bigger.

and the reason that undefined innocence thougt that gators and crocs ate anything is that sometimes they carry their young in their mouth.

Liopleurodon is actually a PLIOSAUR (short-necked plesiosaur), not a mosasaur.
