It feels kinda weird that the biggest lizards of all time were the mosasaurs. Unlike most reptiles, the suffix -saurus meaning lizard is actually accurate for mosasaurs. They were true lizards, most closely related to monitor lizards and snakes.

Some Mosasaurs would even attack any dinosaur that was unfortunate enough to wander too far from the shore. So not even tyrannosaurus was safe.
