Apatosaurus (2nd)

Allosaurus and apatosaurus were saurischians, stego was not
first two were herbivores, allosaurus was not
Allosaurus was bipedial, others were not
Apatosaurus was the longest

Mosasaur - reptilia
Basilosaurus - mammalia
Pterosaur - reptilia

Mosa was the apex predator of its time, basilosaur was too, pterosaur could sustain flight. *ambiguous question*

Isn't the top image a plesiosaur, not a mosasaur? Plesiosaurs were the ones with long necks, like this one: http://pterosauria.files.wordpress.com/ ... tebrae.jpg
