Walking With Dinosaurs Appearing in episode 3 Cruel Sea the Liopleurodon is ridiculously oversized. Reaching a length of 25 meters, the Liopleurodon is drastically larger than the larger end of Predator X's size estimates, which it was based on. You can see how ridiculous its size is when it snatches a 6 meter long full grown Eustreptospondylus, lifting it into the air before dragging it to the depths of the ocean
