The Mosasaurus was a carnivorous aquatic lizard that existed in the Mesozoic era of the Cretaceous period, around 70-66 million years ago in what is now known as western Europe and North America. The first skull fragments were found in 1764 in a chalk quarry in St Pietersberg, Netherlands and in 2012, a skeleton of a Mosasaurus was found in the same quarry. It is thought to be the oldest Mosasaurus skeleton palaeontologists have ever found. The creature appears in Jurassic World as a tourist attraction.
The Mosasaurus had a huge crocodile-style jaw with huge sharp teeth and had large eyes but very poor binocular vision. The creature had four flippers and a strong tail which allowed it to move effortlessly in the ocean. It could grow up to lengths of 59ft. It is believed it lived near the ocean surface feeding on fish, turtles, sharks and other small creatures and never went into deeper waters. Speaking of sharks, it’s also found that some prehistoric species of sharks were able to attack and kill a Mosasaurus.
In Jurassic World, a Mosasaurus is tourist attraction at the park – the “Mosasaurus Feeding Show” which is a parody of what SeaWorld does with killer whales. As the audience watches a Great White Shark being dangled above the lagoon, a Mosasaurus bursts out of the water and eats it. The audience can then see it swimming under water. Later in the film, when the Pterosaurs escape and cause havoc, it grabs Zara and inadvertently drops her into the lagoon. As the Pterosaur struggles to grab her from water, the Mosasaurus jumps up and swallows both Zara and the Pterosaur. The Mosasaurus then appears in the climax of Jurassic World. When the Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor push the Indominus Rex to the lagoon, the Mosasaurus jumps out and grabs the Indominus Rex and drags it under water, killing it.

The only bite on the Isle that can finish D-Rex...
you might have just figured out the end....... CLEVER GIRL!!!!
SHOOT HER
Um, Spinosaurus would also be able to kill Indominus rex.
Dud its abut mosasur not ur. Stupid spinosaurs
I love how you and SpinosaurusRex make an argument
spinosaurus hate planes lol
hold on to your butts!
"Speaking of sharks, it’s also found that some prehistoric species of sharks were able to attack and kill a Mosasaurus."
Megalodon comfirmed (not :( )
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we technically it depended on the size of the Mosasaurus and probbably type. the type of shark your talking about was a gillit shark.But a tylosaur was probbably one of the the only Mosasaurus to stand up to them
Or mosasaurus considering they're the biggest mosasaur
I HATE MEGADON! I think mosasaurus could kill megalodon!
Shut up nerd and don't talk about me die'n!
Awesome pics I can't wait to see the movie
dino butz!
The "Diabolus Rex" could probably kill a Spinosaurus, and a Trannosaurus Rex!
WHAT IF THERES A PACK OT REXS? DONT SAY DOUBT IT!!!
But this kills indominus (a.k.a. the non retad name that you think of)
Thats not how you spell tyrannosaurus rex bro.
Spinosaurus could kill Indominus rex! Indominus would lunge, but Spinosaurus grabs it on the neck and kills it. DIE INDOMINUS REX
good boy!
Thank you!
Spinosaurs is smaller than d rex so spinosaurs can easily get riped out
Spino could grow up to 18 METERS or 60 FEET the indom was a little bigger than the Rex or Rexy
Spinosauru's bite wouldn't be powerful enough to kill I-rex.Also,how would spinosaurus react quick enough to grab its neck ? [p.s spinosaurus cant snap necks]
Fool, indominus rex is bigger stronger arms than spinosaurus stronger jaws than tyranniosaurus rex intelligent as a raptor (spino and trex are dumb as compared to i.rex)
And yes it could survive missilles machine guns and rocket launcher and only being fallen on ground where as spino could not even roll over his back. Irex vs spino is same as a hybrid big cat (irex) vs kitty cat(spino)
actually it never even got hit
Excuse me,maybe he is more intelligent, but there is no way the I-Rex is BIGGER.Compare 18 METERS to 14 meters
I'd like to hear how they obtained Mosasaurus DNA in the film. Mosquitoes preserved in sap?
there is a vid on youtube
Can you send me a link?
Will there be a megalodon in the movie I hope so
Nope I saw it the day of.
Will megalodon be in the movie
It looks big like a megalodon
its (jurassic) world for a reason
megalodon is after dinosaurs
I'm soooooooo exited for the movie my parent said I acted like a tree when I was young
