    So, you're one of those fundamentalist Christians who believe dinosaur bones were put here on earth by god to test our faith in him?

    Somehow this should be a Monty Python song.

    Teeeeeeeee Rex was a pussy, T-Rex was a pussy, a dinosaur pussy he was...
    Couldn't go in the water, Predator X was tougher than Rex by far
    T-Rex was a pussy, a mighty big pussy, T-Rex was a pussy he was,
    Couldn't go in the water, had tiny arms, was killed off by a falling star.

    Megalodon for the win.

    They are estimated to have grown as large as 60 feet long and 70 tons.

    From whence springs your skepticism? Sizes of animals on Earth have varied with factors like oxygen content in the air, temperatures and things like that.

    I mean, we have sperm whales and blue whales that are pretty massive.

    yeah, i just can't imagine the dinosaurs actually being alive and in person.

    or a shark that big. maybe i'll need to see a blue whale or something in person or watch more animal planet....just seems so out of the ordinary

    holy shit could you imagine driving a boat and seeing the Megalodon fin swimming towards you?

    even worse would be to be swallowed whole by the fucking giant Predator X

    Swallowed whole would be better than the alternative.
    I guess you could try to get stuck between the teeth. Probably it didn't floss often.

    Yeah but could they crush a hummer with one bite? Yeah, didn't think so. Predator X is still cooler baby!

    I know snakes and other cold blood animals size depends on the temperature. Scientists know at one point the earth was at least 10 degrees warmer then it is now because there are fossils of a massive snake that lived in Columbia which was 40-45 feet long and weighed 2500 pounds. There is a picture somewhere which compares a anaconda bone to a fossil of the massive snake.

    Edit: I found an article

    The white bone on top is that of a 5 meter long anaconda.

    Those darned dinosaurs burned way too much fossil fuels.

    Ironically, they became fossil fuels.

    For a rapist.

    I've also read that the Tyrannosaurus wasn't a predator but a scavenger who would wait for another dinosaur to make a kill, then chase it off, but that is up for debate.

    I like the photo of the friendly waving human who is seconds from being devoured.
