With the confirmation of Liopleurodon, I noticed it has a steak icon in the wiki just like the Mosasaurus. The steak icon therefore indicates the aquatic needs to eat sharks instead of regular fish. That got me thinking the Liopleurodon will far exceed its standard 6 meter length and rival the Mosasaurus. What do you think?
Will the Liopleurodon be big as the Mosasaurus?

Oh great, just what we need... a fantasy franchise that created and perpetuates its own factual inaccuracies perpetuating the factual inaccuracies of a so-called factually accurate documentary...
Alternatively, it may just be a medium-sized aquatic animal and medium-sized ones can use the shark feeder as well...

I'm cool either way. I was actually really sad when I learned WWD lied to me.
I think Lio will be its accurate size, as there are three categories for aquatics which all have their own icons, the marine (large) icon is a Mosa, the icon for the marine (medium) looks like a Liopleurodon, which could mean that Lio will be its accurate size.
And just to add clarity Ichthy and Plesio would be considered marine (small).
I think it'll be around it's real size, making it a medium. However, I hope eventually it's larger pliosaur cousin will be added too, kronosaurus. Kronosaurus would be a great match for the mosaurus, if mosa is closer in size to its real counterpart (has the size in JWE2 been analzed yet? I'm bad at gauging sizes from visuals).
From looking at the gameplay videos, the Mosasaurus seems to be at or around its length in the first JW, so 26 meters. The WWD Liopleurodon was 25m long. So, honestly, I wouldn't mind if JWE2's Liopleurodon was that big, since there's precedent for it in other media, Evolution has borrowed things from WWD already, and it would be awesome having battles between Mosa and Lio.
Regarding the mystery mosasaur, if it is indeed Tylosaurus, the largest specimen found is estimated to be 12–15.8 meters in length, very big but still greatly outsized by the JW Mosa. Whether they inflate that one or not, who knows.
