What’s that you say? You want more lizard? You got it: the Pliosaurus’ name literally translates to ‘more lizard’ – but it wasn’t until 2012 that the beast got its official name.

Six years prior, scientists unearthed two gigantic pliosaur skeletons in Svalbard, Norway. One of the two giant creatures was dubbed Predator X and looked different to other pliosaurs that had been discovered before. After years of painstaking analysis, the researchers concluded that Predator X was a new species.

The marine animal, now named Pliosaurus funkei, spanned about 12 metres and had a massive 2-metre-long skull with a bite four times as powerful as Tyrannosaurus rex. That’s definitely more lizard than any of us can handle.
