Al Machimo!by ~HodariNundu

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

Pescando en una laguna costera, un Eustreptospondylus se lleva la sorpresa de su vida cuando un Dakosaurus que le acechaba es capurado por un inmenso Machimosaurus justo antes de poder atacar al dinosaurio.
Machimosaurus es el mas grande de los llamados "cocodrilos marinos"- estaba en el rango de 9 a 11 metros de largo, y hay evidencia de que comía dinosaurios, pero probablemente la mayor parte de su dieta eran otros animales marinos.
Creo que la escena es ligeramente anacrónica- Eustreptospondylus vivió antes que Machimosaurus y Dakosaurus, pero quería incluirlo porque ahora se sabe que estaba, por asi decirlo, a medio camino de convertirse en espinosaurio y es aun mas genial que antes

Fishing in a coastal lagoon, an Eustreptospondylus gets the shock of its life when a Dakosaurus that had been waiting in ambush is captured by an inmense Machimosaurus, just before it can attack the dinosaur.
Machimosaurus is the largest of the so called "sea crocodiles"- in the 9-11 meter long range, and there's evidence that it ate dinosaurs, but most of its diet was probably other marine animals.
This scene is somewhat anachronistic- I think Eustreptospondylus lived earlier than the other two, but I wanted to include it because now it's known to have been, so to speak, halfway into becoming a spinosaur, and it looks cooler than before

Eustreptospondylus was a basal Spinosaur, that's news to me.

P.S. I see what you did there with the title.

No it's a megalosaurid, but it has often been at times consider to be more related to the spinosaurids in the past due to it's skull bearing canny resemblance.
