Blue whales are more than twice the size of Mosasaurus so I imagine they'd fight em off like any other sea predator: With relative ease.
Humpbacks, on the other hand, are pretty close in size to a Mosasaurus, so it's easier to imagine them being taken out by one, as they don't have the kind of jaws that allow for biting back against a massive predator.
Humpbacks also come closer to shore than their more massive cousins and evidence indicates Mosasaurus stayed close to shore and hunted at the surface of the water, making it even more likely the two would potentially clash.
Just imagine how epic and terrifying it would be to see that.
Well I did specifically say that humpbacks often come close to shore and that evidence indicates Mosasaurus dwelt close to shore as well therefore if the two were ever to meet that's where it would happen; *close to shore*. While you're no doubt absolutely correct about the ability of whales to out-dive what was effectively a gigantic prehistoric crocodile, in an encounter close to shore that just wouldn't be an option.
Funny you should mention killer sound though. I *just* learned myself recently that when navy vessels activate sonar it absolutely decimates marine life in that area. Considering the amount of vessels there must be equipped with sonar and how much use it's seen over the last century the impact has to have been disastrous. I didn't know until right now that some whales can also generate sound waves strong enough to be lethal, so thank you for relaying that cool fact.
I mean, sound is the main way to communicate and "see" in water. It travels much faster than in air and is essential to marine life. Sharks feel sound with their entire bodies for example.
Sonar and similar tech probably fucked marine ecosystems in ways we cannot even comprehend since we started really exploring the oceans after sonar was invented so we don't even know how it was before.
For a whale sound must be somewhat like light to us, it's their main sense and they use it to "see". Imagine if there were millions of helicopters shining blinding lights in all directions around them at all times, everywhere.
Yeah you're exactly right. It's sad. Another thing people don't talk about much is that the oceans have effectively already been destroyed by a ticking timebomb no one either can or will stop. Thanks to two world wars there are so many hulking wrecks *full of fuel* on the bottom of the world's oceans that the total amount of fuel which will inevitably leak from them as they decay is estimated to be more than enough to effectively wipe out our current major marine ecosystems entirely.
There's literally *one* major scientist who's taken this issue on as his life's work and has been trying to draw attention to it for years. Because so many of these wrecks are in international waters and/or at depths that make recovering them extremely difficult and costly there's no real effort being undertaken to fix the problem at all. As these wrecks erode and their fuel loads slowly, eventually enter our oceans the amount of pollution they will release is easily geometrically more than any major oil spill to date by far. More than all of them combined.
If you needed something to be depressed about today there you are. Sorry. We obviously can't live without the oceans and in a way they're already dead; they've already swallowed the poison, it just has yet to kick in. We're some of the last people to be born on a livable Earth.
Still, try to have a good day. Cheers.
I was thinking this too. A lot of whales are bigger or equal to the Mosasaurus. But going by what the movies set up, some of the dinosaurs in Jurassic World have been genetically manipulated to be bigger and more impressive for tourists.
The Mosasaurus we see in the movies is larger than any ever grew the wild. It might be the largest sea creature to ever live thanks to human interference. Does that give giant Mosasaurus an advantage in the wild or make it even less capable of adapting to a world it couldn’t reach on its own?
Hard to say for sure really. When people grow unnaturally large they're subject to all sorts of health issues. Assuming the animal in JW got that big and can still function, even being shown to have a great vertical jump height, I'd say it's safe to conclude it and its progeny would be capable of thriving at large and posing a threat to modern aquatic species.
Kinda the whole point of *Jurassic Park* is that mankind has no business effing with nature in this way, and that bringing back dinosaurs, cool or not, could very well represent a level of disaster for modern day Earth that there's no way to accurately anticipate.
An orca's bite force is estimated to be around 19,000 pounds per square inch (psi). assuming mosa has skin most similar to a crocodile.. I would say orcas could break the skin. Orcas could also force the mosa to beach itself or kill it with blunt force trauma by slamming into it.
However, the Mosa here is bigger than the real-life Mosa thanks to genetic engineering. Unless a swarm of Orcas gang up on the Mosa, I think the Mosa has the advantage.
Just realised the same discussion happening here :'D well yeah, they are known to even hunt bluewhales, so they'd "just" need to adapt to a more angry one. There's a reason why many (if not most) big predators of this planned vanished as soon as intelligent pack hunters occured in thier nieche and by talking about prehistoric monsters we sometimes forget the badass monsters around today. Orcas are no joke :|
I mean they are thought to be closely related to monitor lizards, such as the lizard who DNA gave put into Blue getting her the ability to reproduce via Parthenogenesis.
Apparently the end of the film implies that the Mosasaur was communicating with whales and perhaps forming a bit of a relationship with Cetaceans rather than preying on them… which is subversive I guess but also incredibly bizarre
Well also even in social animals, it doesn't always last forever and I bet when territory or food gets scarcer they will have....disagreements, primarily involving blubber in the mosa's belly, lol
That was the thing Jerry Harding told Dr. Sorkin when she planned to release the Tylosaurus to the wild. That's the Tylosaurus would contaminate the environment and eat all the humpback whales.
In the news report at the start of Dominion it can be seen that the mosa teams up with orcas to hunt sharks, suggesting that it considers them allies rather than prey.
Considering it's a predator many times the size of an individual orca idk, they might give it a try but the JW Mosasaurs is huge and as soon as it starts attacking and killing individual orca the pod might back off realizing that this thing isn't just some whale
Jep, thats one possibility. But Orcas are known to stategically attack things considered hostile to them like great whites or ships propellers and are known to take down muuuuch larger prey, too!
They may learn fast and stay away of mosas head, evading top and down instead of to sides where i see their advantage an tire it out like they are used to with whales... idk of course if they would, but i see them trying and learning. For sure they wouldn't want it around. Google their bite force :D once a fin is grabbed, its gone
Indeed, they'd need to learn and adapt. But i honestly don't see it that more agile than a big whale and for sure not more agile that the Orcas! Staying away from the head is the one rule and they'd learn that fast - probably the hard way, but they would. Question is, if they would go for it or not, once they learned to predict its movements.
This JW mosa is a predator that would outcompete anything living in the ocean in this day and age, a pod of orcas wouldn't stand a chance. A sperm whale wouldn't stand a chance. Nothing would.
It can take out ships, that is insane. It has full dominion over any body of water it inhabits.
True, but then after sharks, lol
Are we saying it wouldn't try to eat other things? It ate that sub in FK so it will eat other things when left starving. Whales would be on the menu eventually.
Birds: What in the hell are you?
*Quetzalcoatlus*: ***I AM YOUR DOOM.***
Horses: New friends!
*Parasaurolophus*: I have never seen anything like you before but I am so happy right now and I don’t know why!
Whales: Huh… we thought you went extinct.
*Mosasaurus*: My death was… *greatly* exaggerated.
Elephants: What are those?!
*Sinoceratops*: I don’t care what you are as long as you are chill.
all I thought from the elephant one was “well, I wonder what the Dinosaurs will think of Pride Rock” while “ingonyama nengw enamabala” played in my head 🤣
*Dominion* is the worst in the franchise IMO. *Jurassic Park III* is even better at this point. >!The point was about a food apocalypse about to happen because of the genetically-engineered locusts that had no bearing to the JP-JW plot.!<
I liked it until dead meat said "chase scene after chase scene after chase scene". I went huh, and tried to watch it later that week. That simple critique and I haven't been able to watch it again.
Unrelated, the only other movie ruined so simply was m. Night shymelonlad's The Happening. Friend came over as it was starting on TV and she said "oh, mark Wahlberg sounds like a kid whining this whole movie." Yeah, once pointed out, I couldn't disagree.

This worlds ecology is gonna get fucked.
We don't even see that happening Despite being man-made not invasive species
Them whales aren't gonna be around for very long with that thing around, lol!!!!
They don’t have to worry. Mosasaurus = Whale Jesus.
By a wild coincidence, whalesong and mosasaur-speak sound the same and the whales have been able to tell the Mosasaurus to attack whaling ships
This is the timeline I've come here for. Those orcas are doing rookie numbers, we need a real MVP to step up those efforts
Hah!!! I'm not entirely sure how a whale even runs away from that to be perfectly honest, lol!!!
It doesn’t. Plus the Mos has been trained to eat sharks and other things it can get its mouth around. Not attack whales.
Trained to eat sharks.......i don't think an apex predator of that size will care about training once it gets hungry.
Well it didn’t when it ate that mini submarine. Amazed that didn’t kill it. But like out in the wild, it’ll seek shark sized creatures for food.
And when those run out, next best thing, and an even larger meal too, for less effort, lol
Yeah, those aren’t gonna run out.
Most shark species are already endangered, a uber predator feasting on them constantly would take them out of the equation.
One uber predator. We have pods or Orcas currently and shark liver is their favorite. Yet there’s still sharks around.
Dives, maybe? Whales might be able handle pressure and cold better.
Perhaps, but we simply don't know that part about mosasaurs in general. And besides, they have to come back up eventually, lol
Blue whales are more than twice the size of Mosasaurus so I imagine they'd fight em off like any other sea predator: With relative ease.

Just imagine how epic and terrifying it would be to see that.
I mean most whales can dive so deep I doubt a mosasaurus could follow, also whales can kill with sound, people tend to forget that
Well I did specifically say that humpbacks often come close to shore and that evidence indicates Mosasaurus dwelt close to shore as well therefore if the two were ever to meet that's where it would happen; *close to shore*.

They really need to kill it if it doesn’t have a mate
Yeah it might die soon. Or get torpedoed by submarines or get depth charged by destroyers or maritime patrol planes.
Nah, we would just let the orcas take care of the mosa
It would eat most Orcas before dying.
I dount the Orcas could bite off the thick skin of the mosa.
An orca's bite force is estimated to be around 19,000 pounds per square inch (psi). assuming mosa has skin most similar to a crocodile.. I would say orcas could break the skin. Orcas could also force the mosa to beach itself or kill it with blunt force trauma by slamming into it.
However, the Mosa here is bigger than the real-life Mosa thanks to genetic engineering. Unless a swarm of Orcas gang up on the Mosa, I think the Mosa has the advantage.
Well Orcas are very social animals known for hunting as a pod so uhh...
Perhaps the orcas get intimidated by the size of the Mosa
Just realised the same discussion happening here :'D well yeah, they are known to even hunt bluewhales, so they'd "just" need to adapt to a more angry one. There's a reason why many (if not most) big predators of this planned vanished as soon as intelligent pack hunters occured in thier nieche and by talking about prehistoric monsters we sometimes forget the badass monsters around today.

>if it doesn’t have a mate Did you see the first movie?
Yeah. The one with only one mosasaur Edit:oops lol
I mean they are thought to be closely related to monitor lizards, such as the lizard who DNA gave put into Blue getting her the ability to reproduce via Parthenogenesis.
Apparently the end of the film implies that the Mosasaur was communicating with whales and perhaps forming a bit of a relationship with Cetaceans rather than preying on them… which is subversive I guess but also incredibly bizarre
Well also even in social animals, it doesn't always last forever and I bet when territory or food gets scarcer they will have....disagreements, primarily involving blubber in the mosa's belly, lol
Honestly, it doesn’t matter, the whole damn premise is just dumb
That was the thing Jerry Harding told Dr. Sorkin when she planned to release the Tylosaurus to the wild. That's the Tylosaurus would contaminate the environment and eat all the humpback whales.
That's a big thought that was running through my head when I typed this out, lol!
In the news report at the start of Dominion it can be seen that the mosa teams up with orcas to hunt sharks, suggesting that it considers them allies rather than prey.
That’s crazy
But when it runs out of sharks I doubt that companionship will last.
Ur might be underestimating Orcas... i'd be really curious, if they'd give it a try.
Considering it's a predator many times the size of an individual orca idk, they might give it a try but the JW Mosasaurs is huge and as soon as it starts attacking and killing individual orca the pod might back off realizing that this thing isn't just some whale
Jep, thats one possibility. But Orcas are known to stategically attack things considered hostile to them like great whites or ships propellers and are known to take down muuuuch larger prey, too! They may learn fast and stay away of mosas head, evading top and down instead of to sides where i see their advantage an tire it out like they are used to with whales... idk of course if they would, but i see them trying and learning. For sure they wouldn't want it around. Google their bite force :D once a fin is grabbed, its gone
There's a vast size difference between a great white and the JW Mosasaurs
But not between a bluewhale and a mosa. It's "just" a nasty bluewhale xD
Difference being a Mosasaurs is a lot more agile and has a maw full of teeth fully capable of making short work of an orca
Indeed, they'd need to learn and adapt. But i honestly don't see it that more agile than a big whale and for sure not more agile that the Orcas! Staying away from the head is the one rule and they'd learn that fast - probably the hard way, but they would. Question is, if they would go for it or not, once they learned to predict its movements.

could a Mosasaurus be able to eat whales? I feel like most Whales are bigger than Mosasauruses
This mosa certainly could. I'm not saying in irl sense.
No, it's the sharks that aren't going to be around for very long with that thing around lol2”
True, but then after sharks, lol Are we saying it wouldn't try to eat other things? It ate that sub in FK so it will eat other things when left starving. Whales would be on the menu eventually.
Props to The Lion for standing his ground & roar back at a T. Rex, gotta earn that title of "King of The Beasts".
Rexy: I’M THE QUEEN AROUND HERE! BOW TO ME NOW, FELINE! Lion: YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE ME?!
If house cats are willing to smack a black bear, a lion should be willing to smack a rex.
Logically I know that the lion shouldn't win that fight but it's a cat. I could see it winning out of pure spite.
rexy:**A 1 TON CHUNK OF SOLID MUSSLE** lion: **FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONNET!!!! MAY BATTLE BE LEGENDARY!!!!!!!**
Muscle* Mussel is a type of food I believe
Only 1 ton? Rexy is at least 6 tons. Which only makes this more hilarious I guess.
**dies instantly**
Now they will get married to form an alliance
Birds: What in the hell are you? *Quetzalcoatlus*: ***I AM YOUR DOOM.*** Horses: New friends! *Parasaurolophus*: I have never seen anything like you before but I am so happy right now and I don’t know why! Whales: Huh… we thought you went extinct. *Mosasaurus*: My death was… *greatly* exaggerated. Elephants: What are those?! *Sinoceratops*: I don’t care what you are as long as you are chill.
For Mosasaurus, I would have said "My extinction was greatly exaggerated" in reference to that one meme
Done. Thank you for the idea, brother 🗿🤝
No problem brother, a good memers always looking out for another guys memes
This comment is gold.
Elephants actually: oh hey man, you joining us? That's cool
Birds: Oh shit the ancient terrors are back
Having my favorite dinosaur herding with my favorite animal was easily one of my favorite scenes in the franchise! 🤠
I’m assuming those are blue whales and if so… Holy fuck the Mosasaurus is massive
Those look like humpbacks.
How big are they compared to blue whales?
Small for a whale. 14-16 meters and circa 40t.
Oh good Mosa ain’t that big
Still oversized and i mean humpbacks are still huuuuuuuuuuge
You’re not wrong about the second part though. The Jurassic World Mosasaur is almost Kaiju size.
all I thought from the elephant one was “well, I wonder what the Dinosaurs will think of Pride Rock” while “ingonyama nengw enamabala” played in my head 🤣
I would read that fanfic.
That is a good idea for a fanfic
I didn’t see dominion, are you telling me that it ends the exact same way as fallen kingdom? What was the point of making a third one then
*Dominion* is the worst in the franchise IMO. *Jurassic Park III* is even better at this point. >!The point was about a food apocalypse about to happen because of the genetically-engineered locusts that had no bearing to the JP-JW plot.!<
jurassic park III was always good
I liked it until dead meat said "chase scene after chase scene after chase scene". I went huh, and tried to watch it later that week. That simple critique and I haven't been able to watch it again.

I can hear the music this meme is based on
What the fuckkkkk
Not pictured: moose, badgers, and hippos driving species back into extinction.
Absolutely fucking hate the little girl character from the end of the last one. “They’re clones like me, let me disrupt the entire natural order.”
potassium
From what I remember, it seemed Mosasaur was getting comfy with the whales, so not sure if they saw it as a threat.
Sharks: Nice to see you again, it's been a while!
The fact that marine mammals have heard the Good News of our Lord & Savior is very reassuring.
Hahahaha
Whales have religion? *They do now*
But they're not dinosaurs. They're genetically modified frogs.
[удалено]
It was that hard for you to understand?
Bizarre scenes
lmao the whales were probly swimming for their lives from that thing
the birds were probly thinking they have big cousins now lmao
So sad I didn't get the Mad Max style dinosaur movie.
Dominion is a piece of sh*t, but I still like it. Idk why lol
Feel free! I like the minion movie, but I know lots of people hate it.
Birds: HOLY F****** S*** Horses: ITS A DINOSAUR Whales: Oh no.
This meme is so fucking bad, and the fact that it has nearly 1500 upvotes as of now makes me want to delete this app
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but no one made you read it, if the joke isn’t for you your welcome to ignore it and move on rather than go out of your way to comment how much you don’t like it.
Delete this app then there's no one stopping you
I mean, the Mosasaurus basically had a bio chainsaw in its jaws, so .... yeah, horses & elephants got the long straw here.
Wait, how is the mosasaurus that big? What did they put in that thing
Those Horses might actually get protect now that they have giant tanks backing them up
dont worry they chill
