  • Leedsichthys was the largest fish known to have existed, at a massive 27 metres 80-90 feet long (nearly as long as the Blue Whale which was 100-110 feet long). It was a filter-feeder, and came under frequent attack from Metriorhynchus, Hybodus sharks, and Liopleurodon. They travelled in shoals much like modern fish, and are indeed closely related to them. They existed 165-155 million years ago.Even though they were the biggest fish ever known they ate the smallest microscopic creatures-Plankton.

  • Leedsichthys was a giant pachycormiform actinopterygian fish that lived during Middle Jurassic period, and is known from the Callovian Oxford Clay Formation. The generic name Leedsichthys means "Leeds' fish", after the fossil collector Alfred Nicholson Leeds, who discovered it before 1886 near Peterborough, England. The fossils found by Leeds gave the fish the specific epithet problematicus, because the remains were so fragmented that they were extremely hard to recognize and interpret.
