A combination of sunburns, dehydration, and, yes, drowning during high tides seems to be the main causes of death, especially dehydration. Crushing by their own weight seems to only be a problem for larger cetaceans like most baleen whales. I mentioned this because the last time I checked, the especially large Pliosaurus (P. funkei, presumably) was estimated to be about 45 tonnes [citation needed] in weight, which would put them on the same class as large baleen whales (north atlantic right whales, for instance, weigh 40 tonnes). |

None of this is relevant since pliosaurs and plesiosaurs didn't lay eggs at all. |

ok, for those who know what this is: http://hellraptor.deviantart.com/art/JP-Chaos-Effect-Tanaconda-New-Biography-137409593 which of these is best for fighting it: mahajangasuchus, batrachotomus, heptasuchus, or prestosuchus? |

None of them, you need either a Kenner JPS2 Tanystropheus or an Ankyloranodon, at least. |

Well you're still getting nowhere, first of all you'd need something that already exists in the same universe, if we start throwing things from pre-established canons with their own lore and laws that exist within that lore into other canons without a pre-established logic system nothing will make sense. I might as well just tell you "Keijo best animu*" as the answer to every question you ask. You can't compare something like Chaos Effect to a real life baseline without first establishing that baseline. These animals are ridiculously overpowered even within their own universe, even barring the presumably over-hyped package descriptions from Kenner, some of the creators for the TV show once described it as "X-Files with dinosaurs"**. Chaos Effect was intended to be a relatively gritty cartoon (for the standards of the time at least) by its creators, this clashed heavily with the limited marketing it received and that contradiction very possibly had to do with its premature cancellation. Kenner describes the Tanaconda as a creature part anaconda and part Tanystropheus (yet also possessing venom because reasons). It's unclear whether it can constrict prey with its throat and tail, but the name (and figurine itself [despite being a repainted JPS2 Tanystropheus]) heavily implies it. Given that "land-based prey" would be in reference to dinosaurs, it stands to reason that its venom would also be effective against aquatic Archosaurs. You're probably going to need something that isn't an Archosaur and is large enough to avoid constriction to put up an effective fight. A crocodile is probably the worst choice period, since their behavior seems to imply direct competition and the Tanaconda's presence as an invasive species (this is among hypothetical Jurassic Park grade crocodilians at that) would imply it has the upper hand. *For those not keeping up with this fall season Google that at your own risk. **I can't find the interview anymore, I thought it was one of the JPToys interviews but I may be mistaken entirely so take with salt. |

Real question is if it matters all that much. Am one of the "Bear" in Baryonyx. Mostly because it has "Bary" in it, and that humors me, what with being similar to the name and such. I have been pronouncing Barosaurus with a "bar". |
