Liopleurodon is easily one of the baddest prehistoric sea animals ever, right up there with Megalodon...

Well, there's Livyatan, a fucking real Moby Dick...

I mean, I simply cannot fathom how badass a world Earth used to be. Too bad the oxygen levels fell off, which, as I understand it, is why older life was bigger...

I just looked that up. Wow, they named it partly after Herman Melville. (And compare it to Moby Dick in the wikipedia article.)

Hey now, it's still pretty badass. Organisms just can't afford to get quite as big anymore.

Well, they can, is just that mankind slaughtered the last giant organisms. Exceopt those that either evolved alongside us or those in the sea and in California's redwood forests

Woolly mammoths ain't got shit on Spinosaurus
◊.
Granted, Spinosaurus wasn't necessarily a carnivore, but I sure as fuck wouldn't want to get within a ten-mile radius of that thing...

Sneering Imperialist
I'm pretty sure that an animal that scavenges carcasses is still a carnivore, assuming that's what you meant.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

Also, it ate fish. That's carnivorous all right.

Bleh... term fail.
I meant that it wasn't really a hunter.

It was an opportunist, much like hyenas today. Those critters will eat tires and shit.
And now I'm imagining a Spinosaurus attempting to eat a jeep.
complete noob
Holy fossilized footprints, that is one spiky Spinosaurus. Looks like a dino-Shrike.

Baddest Prehistoric Animals(IMO):
- 1) Spinosaurus
◊ — not really for being a badass carnivorous hunter, so much as for being fucking massive.
- 2) Megalodon◊ — for being fucking massive and a badass carnivorous hunter.
- 3) Tyrannosaurus◊ — because this isn't a valid list if he isn't on there kicking ass and taking names... with his little arms and his big head.
- 4) Quetzalcoatlus◊ — because it is the Big Badass Bird of Prey and has a wingspan longer than an F-16C Fighting Falcon
- 5) Deinosuchus◊ — because holy fuck it's massive. Look at it! That's an Albertasaurus it's pwning, by the way.
- 6) Liopleurodon◊ — because fuck yeah, it's a goddamned whale-crocodile!
- 7) Triceratops◊ — the seminal rival to good ol' T rex naturally makes the list.
- 8) Stegosaurus◊ — look at it. Just look at it. It's awesome spiky kick ass lizard beast... fuck yeah!
![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]")
- 9) Supersaurus◊ — because it's gigantic and it has an awesome name.
- 10) Ankylosaurus◊ — prehistoric tanks for the win.

Sadly, your Quetzalcoatlus pic seems to have disappeared. I only see the tripod thing.
I really kind of wish we had ankylosaurus around still; we could tame them and then ride them. Into battle. Fuck yes.

Is it working now?

Nope, still getting the "hosted by Tripod" thing. Maybe you should try a different picture? *shrug*
I changed accounts.
How 'bout now? I changed the image...
Also, I just realized I don't have any raptors on that list. Huh.
I am now known as Flyboy.
That one works.
And man, the list without raptors seems somewhat incomplete. Just sayin'. 
Course, any list I came up with would include Brontosaurus or Diplodocus. Because predators don't hold the monopoly on awesome.
I changed accounts.
Well...
- 11) Utahraptor◊ — this is actually supposed to go higher on the list, but, eh. Either way, baddest mofo there is.
Looks more like a T. Rex. But yes. To the top of the list it goes.

Foot claws, m'lady. Foot claws.
Can't tell if it's a large theropod or a small one? Look at its feet.

My lecturer told us in class the other week that she owns a dinosaur egg. She's always loved dinosaurs, so one day when she got an unexpected monetary prize, she just decided to buy one.

"I have myself a lot of money. Should I pay off my house or car, or... buy a dinosaur egg?"
A week later.
"I got a dinosaur egg!" "Is that really what you spent your money on?" "...yes."
"Was it worth it?"
...
"Oh, fuck yes."
