Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered
SenseOfHumor writes "Paleontologists have discovered a huge crocodile which was a predator of large sea creatures. A Jurassic-age crocodile had the massive jaws and jagged teeth needed to hunt large sea prey, paleontologists say. The crocodile, nicknamed Godzilla, was nearly four metres long with a short snout like a T. rex, four fins and a vertical, fishlike tail." Photos and drawings are available at National Geographic, and more science at ScienceDaily.
" massive jaws and jagged teeth "
:)
"The crocodile, nicknamed Godzilla"
my idea of intelligent design
Clearly this proves Intelligent Design, because only God would make Godzilla, the holy lizard in His name.
You'll notice on that first photo on the National Geographic that Godzilla is in fact battling what scientists have renamed a Mothra not a pterodactyl.

Only 13 feet? Hell, I used to wrestle gators bigger than that in New York sewers...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had this thought. I've seen Steve Irwin wrestle crocs larger than that ;)
Maybe it grows bigger if you're nice to it. Of course, maybe they're thinking 'if I drop a nuke on this I'd have Godzilla!'. Who ever knows with scientists...
...but come on, this is just Prehistoric.

Japanese people were a lot smaller back then.
Hmm... Smacking a T-Rex on the snout...
Sounds like a terrific idea to me.
Dispite rumours of a patch-up, members of the supercontinent Godwanaland have officially disbanded and gone their seperate ways. "It's not that I don't like them, we've just drifted apart," said ex-member Australia, "I just need to do my own thing for a while, evolve my own style. I might bump into the rest sometime later on, it's a small world." Not all members of the supercontinent have taken the break-up so well. India was last seen driving north at high-speed toward Laurasia. "Could be a bad accident if 'e doesn't slow down," one observer said.
