Due to an upcoming update, a large majority of dinosaurs will undergo statistic changes. Dinosaur Simulator Wiki staff is will work hard to fully update the wiki as well, but due to the vast amount of changes it will take some time. This notice will be shown globally. It is highly recommended you properly update this page to meet our wiki's standards, and to make sure we can all access the quality information we deserve when the update goes live. Thank you!
Information
Leedsichthys (Leeds' fish) is a genus of Pachycormid fish that ate plankton by filter feeding, much like whale sharks and many types of whales, but in Dinosaur Simulator, their diet is fish, like all other aquatic 'dinosaurs' in the game. It is a massive fish that lived in the oceans of the Middle Jurassic. Despite having a strong skull, it attacks is very low when compared to less health titans like the Pliosaurus and Mosasaurus. It's the best aquatic creature to DNA farm along with the Shastasaurus.
Appearance
The Leedsichthys(leed-sick-thees) or Leed is a large light grey-colored fish with a light yellow underbelly and black eyes. It also has light yellow spots on its body and a ring around its eye. It resembles a shark with pectoral fins and is missing a central dorsal fin, instead of having a smaller dorsal fin further down the body.
Real Life
Leedsichthys problematicus is a giant member of the Pachycormidae, an extinct group of Mesozoic ray-finned fishes that lived in Europe and South America during the Middle Jurassic period. The first remains of Leedsichthys were identified in the nineteenth century. Especially important were the finds by the British collector Alfred Nicholson Leeds, after whom the genus was named "Leeds' fish" in 1889. As the vertebrae are among the parts that have not been preserved, it is hard to determine the total body length. Estimates have varied wildly. At the beginning of the twentieth century a length of nine meters (thirty feet) was seen as plausible, but by its end Leedsichthys was sometimes claimed to have been over thirty meters (hundred feet) long. Recent research has lowered this to about sixteen meters (fifty feet) for the largest individuals.
Trivia
- Leedsichthys is the second biggest fish of all time (Carcharocles being the first), it dwarfed today's whale shark.
- The third largest Aquatic creature featured in Dinosaur simulator, compared to the Carcharocles Megalodon and Shastasaurus.
- Leedsichthys is known to have 40,000 tiny teeth you cannot see. They're possibly used to feed on plankton.
Appearance
The Leedsichthys or Leed is a colossal-sized cream-colored fish with a red mouth and black eyes. It resembles a shark with pectoral fins and is missing a central dorsal fin, instead having a smaller dorsal fin further down the body.
Trivia
- Due to its blocky and old model it is very hard to move around.
Information
Krill Vaccuum Leedsichthys' name is a reference to the feeding methods of modern day whales, inhaling large clouds of krill floating in the water. It has a small buff with a +3 in speed.
Appearance
It's light blue with a tan-yellow underbelly, with grayish-brown fins, and black gills. It also has a very slim body, with little tan yellow spots around its body. Its mouth is pink in color with a yellow ring around each black eye.
Information
The Island Mimic Leedsichthys is a skin with a shape similar to that of the Krill Vacuum Leedsichthys, the other Leedsichthys skin with the speed buff. It doesn't get any buffs. It's sometimes used just to show off looks, as it is a cool skin even though it lacks animations.
