Leedsichthys


Leedsichthys was a gigantic pachycormid that lived in the oceans in the Late Jurassic period.

It had over 40,000 teeth to collect small animals from the water. It's size can go up to 27 meters. It had giant mesh plates on the back of it's mouth.

It's predators include the Liopleurodon, Metriorhynchus, and Hybodus sharks.

It was not a huge predator. It only ate small fish, jellyfish, shrimp, and plankton.

Leedsichthys is the world’s biggest fish ever!!! The estimation of the length was 30 feet (around 9 meters).

This prehistoric marine creature is unique because it is the biggest fish in the world!!!
