I saw Jurassic World last week, and that Mosasaur...wow. If you could keep an aquarium of ancient extinct fish, what would be in it? How do you think you would care for it? Why would you choose that exact fish/why would you chose those fishes?
Jurassic World...and aquaria
- Thread starter ichthyogeek
- Start date
more to the point, Jurassic park used ostrich eggs to create dinosaurs, and they used frog DNA to fill in the gaps. but mosasaur were believed to be viviparous (live bearing) so how did they bring one of them back?? in a test tube or egg or what?? also the largest known mosasaur was only about 18m long but it looked alot bigger against that shark. i hate questions left unanswered.
Actually, in the books, they used crocodile ova and a polymer that mimicked eggshell...as well as a mix of frog, reptile, and avian DNA...
An artificial womb? Some lizards give birth to live young, similar to livebearers, of them, the Zootaca vivipara is the one that popped up first on my Google search. So... a giant Zootaca womb? Dr. Wu did say that he used cuttlefish DNA to allow for unrestricted growth in the Indominus...so if he added some of that into the Mosasaur, then it would have grown a lot bigger? The wiki says it was 60 ft, which isn't too far off from 60 meters, right?

could be easliy explained i suppose but not sure if you are serious with the bold statement, but no 60 ft is no where near 60m, 60ft is about 18m
Jurrasic world movie was terrible, but the dinosaurs looked great for the most part, though they were likely feathered and not scale'd.
I wouldn't dream of keeping such a massive creature in an aquarium.
MFK members would though, probably asking if it will live in a 10,000 gallon lol
Can I keep 2 without aggression?
What are some good tank mates for a moz?

derp...I meant 60 feet is about equal to 20 meters, which is close to 18 meters...
Though ancient but not yet extinct,the coelecanth has been one of my dream fish for quite some time.
In that scene where the mosasaur grabbed the shark, you can see that it was a lot closer to the screen than the trainer lady was. That was a juvenile white shark of 5' or so.
Some dude did a really great write up on it, you can find it on google. I'd do it, but I'm on my phone and I have a case of the lazy (lol).

found the site, it was a good read and makes sense now, but i also remember ready that there is several homages to people in the film and that the shark used is JAWs, which would make it 6m long lol.

Dunkleosteus! Xiphactinus would be a good dither fish while it was growing out. I know you said they'd top out at over 15 feet and that the Xiphactinus are jumpers, but I'm totally upgrading soon to have room for them AND the 6-pack of Megalodon I'm growing out.
BTW, the Megalodon have already beat up and eaten my Helicoprion, LOL. IDGI, they're both sharks, what did I do wrong?
