I was just recently reminded that Dinotopia was a thing. And goddamn, were those books legit:
The TV series is currently on Amazon Prime video as well
They took some creative freedoms with the creatures. It is not a sin though. After all it is fiction and in the Jurassic Park franchise they do it all the time (I'm looking at you Dilophosaurus). But specifically, I'm talking about the giant fish at the end.
It is supposed to be something like a guardian or natural final boss according to the
wiki. And according to that same wiki it is supposed to be a Dunkleosteus: an ancient species of armoured prehistoric fish. However, I'd say it doesn't resemble the true animal at all.
But there is one more...their mosasaurs. Yup, these deadly bastards are more like prehistoric crocodiles. In fact, these mosasaurs seem to have an amphibious lifestyle.
In the British science fiction series Primeval, there is also a crocodile-like mosasaur.
The Mosasaurs were marine reptiles apparently related to monitor lizards and snakes. I think Jurassic World was closer to the real animal so far.
