FRICKIN' AWESOME! (Anti-Lano)

I was browsing some website, and there was a guy named Leoplurodon there, which reminded me of the word Liopleurodon, which again made me think.. frick, Liopleurodon is a fricking awesome word.

SRSLY!

So, here are some facts about Liopleurodons:

Liopleurodons, even if they lived during the end of the Jurassic Period 165-150 million years ago (Holy Shit!), were not as you might have thought dinosaurs (DUH!). They were the largest plesiosaurs (Which is basically a swimming reptile. Omg, so much cooler!) and rocked the ocean, killing their prey with their long sharp teeth!

Liopleurodon means "smooth-sided tooth;" and the name came from French paleontologist H.E.Sauvage in 1873. Haha, what a name, what a name. On the guy I mean, not the liopleurodon; that's a really awesome name and it feels great to pronounce it and read it and hear it and it just.. REEKS OF ANTI-LANONESS!

Personally I feel that the liopleurodon was misunderstood. Obviously a nice guy.

You can also see a magical liopleurodon in the youtube video "Charlie goes to Candy Mountain". Definitely worth the view. The magical liopleurodon is also very friendly and helpful in this movie; a step in the right direction when it comes to correcting whatever bad reputation the liopleurodons might have gotten up throughout the years.

This video features a dinosaur getting eaten by a liopleurodon, but I feel that the entire thing is misrepresentative and that well.. when you gotta eat you gotta eat. Cruel Sea? A little on the harsh side there, Spanish TV-Program!
