    "...The sheer strangeness of the Dakosaurus andiniensis, found in South America and announced today, led its discoverers to call it Godzilla after the huge, amphibious, dinosaur-like movie icon..."

    I'd rather meet Jaws than that thing any day.

    Only 13 foot? Doesn't sound to big for that period. We have gators here bigger than that. But maybe that ones just a baby. When I saw Godzilla, I thought they had found something 2-3 time the size of T-Rex.

    Mean looking thing.
    Andrewsarchus was around the same size--the largest mammalian predator.
