How big was the Mosasaurus?
The size of the mosasaur has always been a focus of debate among paleontologists. Although the fossil evidence is incomplete, through precise measurements and numerical simulations, research in recent years has converged: the size of the mosasaurs was by no means huge as imagined, and most individuals should have been between ten and twenty meters tall. This is obviously different from the previous exaggeration of his body shape. Therefore, clarifying the actual size of the mosasaur will help us understand its ecological niche and predatory strategy more accurately.
