The Strydaytea

Overall

The Strydaytea, a marine predator who dominates the marine-biome food chain. This predator is wildly known for being one of the most fearless animals on planet Earth. This animal is a cross breed that originally evolved from 1 deep sea predators; which are the plesiosaur. It has massive size, intimidating jaws, with a horrid growl. Behind all this it still has love for its family. For a certain point in time.

The history of the Strydaytea originates all the way back to 65 million years ago, during the era of the dinosaurs. This is when one of its ancestors, the plesiosaur, thrived. The Strydaydea got its most of its body structure from the plesiosaur. This animal dates all the way back after the extinction of the dinosaurs. It was believed to be in the process of evolving from the plesiosaur before the extinction. When the dinosaurs went extinct, this was one creature that was like the puny mammals at the time. It had was given a chance by nature to rise up and dominate it's ecosystem.

Prey and food(diet)

Strydaytea's will not eat each other like cannibals, but will fight over prey. It's hunting method relies upon its quickness, speed and strength. What the creature will do to its prey depends upon the size of the prey. A small seal, fish, or shark will be slowly bitten up and then swallowed since the Strydaytea does not chew prey that small. Large fish, large sharks, dolphins, octopus and squid are all on its watch list. The Strydaytea is fearless it will never back away and will always stand its ground. Even when the rival is much larger in size. Food typically is never a problem for it, since it will generally eat all meats that it can find and kill.

Victims

•Sharks

•Seals

•Dolphins

•Octopus

•Squids

Anatomy

The Strydaytea's brain is much like that of a human. Has different parts that perform durning different motions and thoughts. The creature has gills. The creatures has pectoral fins and hind legs like a crocodile. It's mouth has two pairs of teeth that are serrated and used to eat its prey. It posses many characteristics of a shark and crocodile. It's tail has bones in it that can also be used to fight off other animals.

Ecosystem and population

The Strydaytea thrives in the ocean, the marine biome. It lives off of everything piece of meat that is placed below it in the food chain. It has no predator in the animal kingdom. Since the predator has no predator, Mother Nature has ensured the survival of its ecosystem by making it take a long time to reproduce offspring. The young creature can't survive with out a parent to feed it, raise it, and feed it. It will be eaten by other predators or starve to death. It lives in both warm and cold waters, so it can feed or nest from the arctic oceans cold temaptures all the way to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Its current population is 500,000. That may seem like a lot, but the Strydaytea takes a while to repopulate since it lives as a young predator for a while with its parents. It has a large life span that goes up to 200 years.

History

Dates back to the age of dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. This creature survived the extinction, but had to adapt the the new world and its rising new species. Its size was given to it because it since it wasn't a competitor with other species. So it grew in size to eat the other prey and species that used to punk it around. Kinda like a bully who grows up to be a cop. Besides the point, to eat all these other deep sea creatures it needed to develop the capability to eat such creatures. It had been given 2 sets of razor sharp surated teeth. The meat was easily ripped apart by its tenth, but the mouth was to small to swallow the chunks of meat. So it lost its neck, but gained a massive snout to fit the pieces of ripped apart flesh to swallow. It wasn't always in the ocean, so it developed front claws. The way they work is that the 2 front legs haul all the weight of the creature, so it's legs are quite strong for a sea creature.

Life Cycle

It starts in its mothers womb as an egg. The egg hatches inside its mothers womb. Then as it exits its mother, it takes its first steps into the ocean. It lives with its parents the first 20 years of its life. After that it leaves its parents almost like they never met. If they ever fight for prey they will show no mercy to each other. Then it hunts and thrives in the ocean for the rest 180 years of its life. If it doesn't have the parents during its childhood, chances of survival are minimal to none since it has no experience hunting neither the intimidating size of a grown Strydaytea. It dies after 200 years due to its blood vessel clogging up like a sink.
