The sizes of prehistoric and present-day animals shouldn’t have to be exaggerated in order to seem more impressive.
The neck of Liopleurodon ferox was about 3½ feet long. This means that the entire animal must have been about 23 feet long, including its 5¼-foot head, and 3½ feet high from its back to its underside.
See “A truly gigantic pliosaur (Reptilia, Sauropterygia) from the Kimmeridge Clay Formation (Upper Jurassic, Kimmeridgian) of England” by David M. Martill, Megan L. Jacobs, and Roy E. Smith, from Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association , vol. 134, no. 33, Jun. 2023, pages 361-373.

I wonder if this was one of Roger’s other purchases (“random impulse purchases”, as Andy called them) when he went to go buy Halloween candy at Costclub.
Roger (after buying the candy) : Let’s see…what’s this?
(He notices a sign that reads, ‘LIFE-SIZED INFLATABLE AQUATIC CREATURES; PAST AND PRESENT’, and examines the choices in the aisle)
Roger: I’ll bet Jason would like one of these. Let’s see… Anomalocaris … Pterygotus … Dunkleosteus … Prionosuchus … Nothosaurus … Placodus … Tanystropheus … Shonisaurus … Rutiodon … Leedsichthys … Geosaurus … Sarcosuchus … Stomatosuchus … Xiphactinus … Elasmosaurus … Tylosaurus … Archelon … Parapuzosia … Basilosaurus … Livyatan … Otodus megalodon … Odobenocetops …Steller’s sea cow…great white shark…hammerhead shark…thresher shark…goblin shark…megamouth shark…basking shark…whale shark…smalltooth sawfish…beluga sturgeon…beluga whale…sperm whale…Baird’s beaked whale…orca…bottlenose dolphin…bowhead whale…humpback whale…gray whale…leopard seal…walrus…emperor penguin…king penguin…saltwater crocodile…leatherback sea turtle…marine iguana…green anaconda…hmmmm, this is going to be a tough decision. I think I’ll get him the… Liopleurodon .
Jason (after Roger has returned with the inflatable Liopleurodon ) : Awesome! Thanks, Dad!
Roger: Anytime, son.
