Title: Colossal Sea Monster Unearthed
Post by: Asmodai on October 28, 2009, 01:02:20 AM

BBC - Earth News - Colossal 'sea monster' unearthed (http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8322000/8322629.stm#id8320000/8323300/8323360)

David Martill, a palaeontologist from the University of Portsmouth, said: "These creatures were monsters.

"They had massive big muscles on their necks, and you would have imagined that they would bite into the animal and get a good grip, and then with these massive neck muscles they probably would have thrashed the animals around and torn chunks off.

"It would have been a bit of a blood bath."

Also: Strong enough to bite a car in half.

Hmm, I reckon I could take it if I had my slingshot with me.
