Description
Mosasaurus hoffmanni was a top marine predator that lived 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic. It had a long and slender body (around 50-55 feet in length, 12-15 tons.) I've spoken with many paleontologist's to get an accurate depiction (other than color of course.) Mosasaur's were the most successful known group of marine predators of all time, wiping out all competition in a matter of 4-5 million years. Mosasaurus was quite possibly the largest, and the most advanced. It was more robust than other mosasaur's and was one of the few that probably actually crushed prey, tore it apart, and swallowed bits and pieces. Most mosasaur's just swallowed their smaller prey whole.Personal Nickname: The Megalodon Executioner
Mainly because it's one of the only predator's that would have likely been able to take on a full grown megalodon.

It probably could but as Megaldon has lived 60 millions years later...

Yes I know, I was just stating that it probably could.

But don't forget something, the Megaselachus megalodon (since it's phylogeny is unclear, I name it by this name) didn't have to breath in the atmosphere. But yeah, Mosasaurus should take it down.

The head is accurate. Mosasaurus was MUCH more robust than it's relatives like Tylosaurus. Did YOU look at the skeletal structure? You can't just look at the bones, you have to imagine muscles and skin. Mosasaurus would have looked something like this, robust and all. That looks NOTHING like a tyrannosaurus head, not nearly as big or robust.

Don't try and correct me, you're wrong. Mosasaurus had curved, long teeth, and more muscle on it's snout to break through the shells of some of the prey it hunted. You're just being a dick about the whole thing, which is redundant considering you're wrong. The eyes? Now you're just nit-picking. The eyes are perfectly fine. It's teeth were probably a bit shorter than what I drew, but they were by no means small, and I shaped them perfectly. You're looking at the skeleton thinking the animal looked just like that. Why don't you try imagining a living creature? It'll help clear up why I'm right and you're wrong.

-.- oh then if your so sure you are right, why did you hide my comments? Well it's good thing I took a screenshot out of the comments which I'll publish later... Oh and I actually wasn't being a dick. Dangit kid why can't you take criticism at all? Why are you on site where you publish your art and you can't take criticism. I bet you didn't even read my last commen till the end considering your ignorant reply... -.-
I sorry, but you're too young for this...I used to be just like you...

Not too young, I just hate talking with ignorant people, I never said it was entirely accurate, obviously its not. You're assumptions just weren't correct and it was annoying to look at. Really, not being a dick? You're going to publish it, thats a completely childish and dickish thing to do. You see bones and put skin on them. Imagine muscle in a living creature. You're telling me the top predator of the fucking sea isn't bulky? Yeah right.

There still isn't any jaw muscles on TOP of it's snout dude. Why would it have it there? The skull is really flat so the eye is really low. Even if there would be huge uneccessary muscles, the holes of the skull would not change places! And it was a marine predator thus torpedo shaped! You should do some skeletal study on your next work and I HOPE you are reading this one(unlike the other reply).
And yeah I wont publish it after realizeing it would be pretty dickish xD But what I will do is a anatomy study of the mosasaurus hoffmanni head.

Where the hell are you seeing muscles? Jesus a broader snout doesn't make it a fucking T. rex.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok is they aren't muscles then what is that rounded shape? Bone? Havr you EVER seen a mosasaurus skull?! Wow you sure know a lot of prehistoric reptiles xD You really should do skeletal study! And does it take you this long to come up with an answer or do you visit deviant art once a week?!
Oh and do you even read what I'm wriying to you? Cus it sure doesn't seem like it?

You are literally too stupid to insult. Please leave. I thought it was obvious that it is skin, I said myself its not entirely accurate, but jesus it is NOT an abomination of a Mosasaurus.

Too stupid? Damn you feisty kids, you and your aggressive hormones xD
And dammit you really are not answering to any of my comments? I can just imagine you reading the first letter of my comments and start yelling and then you attack me for TRYING to give you some frigging helpful criticism! Sure it seems cruel, but it's NOT, it's called criticism! why am i doing this when you're not reading this anyways -.- .....
