Summary
Description Cretoxyrhina attacking Pteranodon.png |
Artist's caption from source: "Restored scene of Cretoxyrhina attacking Pteranodon . Life reconstruction of a c. 2.5 m long breaching Cretoxyrhina mantelli biting the neck of a 5 m wingspan Pteranodon longiceps , a scene inspired by LACM 50926. The predatory behaviour of this scene is speculative with respect to the data offered by the specimen, but reflects the fact that Cretoxyrhina is generally considered a predatory species, the vast weight advantage of the shark against the pterosaur (see text), and the juvenile impulse of the artist to draw an explosive predatory scene." |
