Mosasaurus was a large, 15-metre long aquatic carnivore from the Late Cretaceous about 90-65 million years ago. It gave its name to a group of marine lizards - Mosasaurs.

Mosasaurus means 'Meuse Lizard', referring to the river near which it was first found. It fed on such prey as sea birds, sharks and large fish, plesiosaurs, and even other mosasaurs.

Creation
Mosasaurus was successfully recreated by InGen under the wing of the Masrani Global Corporation for their new dinosaur park Jurassic World.

Unlike the last mosasaur InGen recreated, the cloned Mosasaurus retained many features of its original counterpart, but there were some differences between the two. InGen's recreation weighed 5 tons while estimates of the original Mosasaurus show that it was heavier. It also had a bite force of 13K, one pound higher than the terrestrial predator Tyrannosaurus rex that lived in the same period as the Mosasaur. The Mosasaur lived in the Jurassic World Lagoon and visitors could watch it feed on sharks in the Mosasaurus Feeding Show.

Trivia

Jurassic Park: Builder
see Mosasaurus/Builder

In Jurassic Park: Builder Mosasaurus can be created in the aquatic section of the park as a limited edition dinosaur.

Mosasaurus might have appeared in the comic book Jurassic Park: Redemption V. But the creature didn't play a main role, nor was it hunted or recaptured. Therefore, it isn't possible to determine its genus.
