Insects, yes, their primitive breathing system doesn't circulate oxygen throughout the body, they have openings along their body to take in oxygen. If they're too big, oxygen wouldn't reach all cells. The more oxygen is in the air, the bigger they can get.
3:00 The narrator states that Gigantopithecus went extinct about 1,000 years ago, there is no evidence for this at all. It's generally excepted that Gigantopithecus went extinct 300,000 years ago. Therefore Homo Erectus may have come in contact with Gigantopithecus , but this was long before us humans were in this area.
Yep, and he also stated that the megapiranha ate Trex and Megladons...(note, it was freshwater, and lived 8-10 million years ago.) I don't think that a single animal in this video didn't have at least a couple of glaring errors!
Studies has shown that the Smilodons had less bite force than modern day Big Cats. It was also shown that unlike Big Cats of today which can ravage it's pray with their teeth, Smilodons couldn't do that because their Saber Tooth Fangs were a bit delicate, you see those teeth were not round, they were kind of Oval like in shape, so if a Smilodon tried to ravage a prey using it's teeth, the chances of their fangs breaking were really high. Smilodons also couldn't turn sharp corners like Modern Day Big Cats thanks to their short tails. It was also proven that the musculature of Smilodons were not designed for pouncing, but was designed for subduing their prey, dragging down huge animals with their muscular front paws to deliver the final blow to the neck, sinking their huge fangs into their prey.
Well, Megapiranhas are really some extraordinary animals. Not only could they travel 55 million years back in time to hunt Tyrannosaurus, no, they could also swim hundreds even thousands of miles out of their freshwater rivers, wich is vital for them, into the salty ocean to hunt the Megalodon, the biggest carnivorous shark to have ever existed. Yeah, truly amazing animals!
13:19 Megapiranha "was known to go after Megalodon or T-Rex", my goodness where do I start. T-Rex was a land animal weighing over 10,000kg, so it's unlikely they could ever cross paths, but more importantly T-Rex died out 66 million years ago, the Megapiranha lived 8-10 million years ago. Finally they weren't "easily 3 feet (90cm) long" they were about 70cm long. Ref en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megapiranha

1. Smilodons were not as big as portrayed in this video. Scientists are pretty sure they developed the large Canine teeth so they could kill much larger prey animals by biting through their neck vertebra. Not to say they wouldn't turn down an easy smaller animal. According to scientists who's work I've studied they were no bigger than a regular Bengal Tiger and thus smaller than even a modern day Siberian Tiger. That one a 1:21 is about twice their largest size. One final note, there were actually 5 different species of sabre toothed cats, none of which co-habitated the Earth with each other. it worked like this: Big prey animals would evolve, Sabre tooth cats would evolve to eat them. Big prey animals die out as the cats eat them all, then the cats starve. Rinse, repeat several more times. Oh never mind. Nothing I've seen so far is even close to accurate. Bye Bye.
1. You're correct on this size aspect. For some odd reason, people tend to exaggerate the size of many extinct mammals. Many of them were no bigger than their present day counterparts. 2. You are wrong about different species of saber-toothed cats not cohabitating with each other. Homtherium and Smilidon, definitely lived at the same time for thousands of years in the Americas. And they both went extinct around 10,000-11,000 years ago in the Americas. Different species of saber-toothed cats also cohabitated in Africa, Europe, and Asia.

I could list the numerous scientific inaccuracies in this video, but instead I’ll point out: as an even bigger and badder apex predator, wouldn’t a megalania be the ultimate gigachad relative for a Komodo dragon? Instead of someone they’d be ashamed of.
The issue here, I think, is that said "gigachad" relative isn't afraid to eat you. It's like us vs Gigantopithecus. It might be big and badass, but that just mean we shouldn't see it as a friendly cousin.
@@matthewutech5970 Hmmm. . . you know a komodo dragon can reach 10' in length, and has been known to feast on sheep and cattle, which it kills with a venomous Bite. It can be deadly, and is likely the descendant of this larger monitor.

As a species, we are terrifying and have caused so much destruction. But without our weapons we obviously wouldn't stand a chance against some of these animals.
really enjoyed this video and the way it presented such intriguing information about extinct animals. however, i can’t help but wonder if it’s a bit misleading to say we should be glad they’re gone. i mean, every species plays a role in its ecosystem, and their extinction might have consequences we’re not fully aware of. what do you all think?
i really enjoyed this video! it’s fascinating to learn about animals that are no longer with us, but i can't help but wonder if some of them could’ve actually played a role in today’s ecosystems. it feels a bit sad that we’ll never know how they might’ve adapted to our changing world. what do you all think?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It's fascinating yet bittersweet to think about how extinct animals might have influenced today's ecosystems. Their adaptations could have been incredible, but maybe their absence also shaped the world we know today. What are your thoughts on the balance between nature's loss and evolution?
The animals were larger because there was about 16% more oxygen in the air. I'm not 100% positive about 16% it could be 18% too 28% Anyways a study was done on some insects with higher oxygen in a sealed case with the same in insect in the air we have now and the higher oxygen insect growth was 72% larger. And thats not adding the cold Blood to warm blooded factor.
the oxygen thing only aply to arthropods, because they have a diferent breathing system, the giant vertebrate animals usually have to do with, the amount of food available to them, some times the temperature of the ecosystem they're living in and also some adaptation such as the air sacks in dinosaurs, to make their bodies lighter and not die from overheating.
Something definitely did happen to the mammals, because many mammals from the past were much larger than mammals today. Check out a baluchitherium, an ancient hornless rhinoceros. It was as high at the shoulder as the head of a giraffe is today. The only case I know of where the modern mammals are bigger are the seagoing mammals (like blue whales). The huge, ancient mammals went extinct for some reason. It's hard to ambush prey if you're huge.
It's pretty wild to think about how much the world has changed throughout it's existence. I wonder how the wildlife will continue to evolve once people are gone.
Hmmm, to be fair, a lot of these animals are just really cool and no reason at all to wish to never see them again. Like thMeganeura or the Hallucigenea Forti or the Anomalocaris. They all are such cool animals, yet you present them as if they were nothing but detestable. Come on, those shouldn't be on this list!
You said: "megalodon went extinct about 3.6 million years ago." But also said "the arcdotus was native to America, California, until about 11,000 years ago." & "They went (extinct) probably around the same time as megalodon." 3.6million years That's a huge gap between the two animals.
i really enjoyed the insights in this video, it was informative and well-made. but honestly, i can't help but feel a bit conflicted about celebrating their extinction. sure, some of these animals were dangerous, but every creature has its role in the ecosystem. sometimes it feels like we're just erasing parts of nature instead of finding ways to coexist. what do you all think?
this kind of footage always gives the impression a deadly creature was lurking in every nook or cranny. most predators are sparse and wide distributed and how many people living in the area where cougars excist see them on a daily basis? Hardly anyone.
@@smonkeyfunkid5980 If they existed, I'd love to have a pet titanoboa, except, it would probably eat me on a dime, and also cost a fortune to sustain lol.
I think all of the land mammals (not bugs or sea creatures) were adorable! I love 4ever green's dialogues! They all were hilarious. I loved this video and the snakes and the birds! I'm obsessed with giant snakes and humongous birds! Oh, and prehistoric animals so this was the PERFECT video for me!
The reason why prehistoric animals are so large Is because of how much oxygen was on earth back then And oxygen Is one of the inportant factors for growth
I gotta start playing ARK again! A game where you can swim with trilobites, chill with a stego, ride a raptor, tame a dire wolf, and even encounter a dragon.

@@hamburgerhamburger4491 but would they hurt you if they did not go to the water?, even maybe there is a titanic sized creature in the ocean because we did not discover all parts of the ocean
Its sad to see people who are afraid of those creatures and just refuse to apreciate them as what they trully are Animals, beaultifull animals that we are unlucky that we will never ever have a chance to see Even if the creatures in this video are "scary" we should apreciate them just like we apreciate animals nowadays and not just fear them
We can appreciate them and still be glad that they are extinct. Mammals were no bigger than an opossum when Dinosaurs roamed the planet as an example. You had a lot of Mammals that have tiny descendants compared to what we had then. Sloths as big as 20ft, etc. Considering how dominant Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Polar Bears are today, I'm glad that Cave Bears went extinct as they were far larger and more scary. I'm sorry, but Dinosaurs sharing a planet with Humans would mean that we were screwed. It would be far worse than what you saw in Jurassic Park.
@@Deadsea_1993 cave bears were less agressive and had a more herbivore sided diet. non avian dinos livig with us does not mean we are screwed, just some species woukd screw us, like carnivore theropods, while dinos like ornithomimids and dwarf sauropods could live with us
Snakes and spiders are the worst creatures on the planet. What blows my mind is that some people think eating meat is wrong but do not complain about animals eating other animals.
For almost any viewers from outside the USA, it would be helpful if you also told the metric measurements, because most non-US people don't know how much e.g. "6 feet" is.
as to your initial comment at the begininning of this video, We SHOULD ONLY work hard to ensure WE AS HUMANS do not cause the extinction of an animal/plant species. If however it is a NATURALLY occurring extinctinction event, then SIMPLY let Nature take it's course.
really enjoyed this video and the way it highlights the impact of extinction. however, i can’t help but feel like it romanticizes the idea of these deadly animals being gone. isn’t it a bit concerning that we often celebrate extinction instead of focusing on conservation efforts for the species still here? just a thought!
I think the worst creature you could have ever come across would be a warm blooded giant of the past. Being a cold blooded animals had its advantages. The animal didn't have to regulate their body temperature This meant less nourishment needed and that was a plus in tines when food was scarce. But being cold blooded also limited the developement of the animals brain. I am not calling them inept.Far from it what I mean is these animals have a small set of needs.Such as food, shelter and the occasional companion for mating. As long as those primitive needs are met you have a good chance of surviving an accidental encounter. Now if you came across a warm blooded animal your chance of getting away alive let alone unscathed are in serious doubt. Why! You may ask. Well most warm blooded animals have a higher amount of intelligence than the cold blooded ones. The warmth enabled the brain to grow giving warm blooded animals more options then the basic needs of survival. It gave the animal emotions. If you have a 500 pound black bear angry its going to lash out That's the same years ago if you startled a smiladon its going to do the same thing. Just think of this a TEN foot tall ape like animal with a 6 foot reach and two -three inch teeth.You just happen to come into it's nesting area with his females and infants. You got the short end of the stick To put bluntly.You are screwed!! This animal is going to rip you are apart. Now if you came across a giant crocodile and he already feasted on one of your friends and isn't in the mood for a crying human( that's you or me crying like a baby) You might have a chance
I have a question about Anomalocaris….something about those toothed tentacles has never looked right to me. I like the design but I’m curious how palentognists know for certain that it was hunting like it is in the clip? Those tentacles I always thought looked more like they could be being used to dig into the ocean floor to find hidden animals(it’s that scene out of walking with monsters where it’s eating a trilobite that makes me question how practical that using them for that is). I don’t know I’m not an expert and I’m probably looking at it from the advantage of a few millions years removed.
I think they have found numerous tribute remains with bite marks matching the mouth parts of anomalocaris. But over 400 million years the best the best of us can do is guess.
paeontologists never know anything "for sure". That's not how science works in general. Science only knows the truth approximately and can only talk approach it as closely as possible, but never 100%. And true science NEVER claims to do that. only people who produce youtube videos claim to present "truths".
@@fiedelmina You are right and I think I misspoke when I put the comment up originally because I was insecure and thought I sounded stupid(I think it happens to everyone they come up with their own theory and because they’re not confident they act like questioning science is not allowed…yet questioning science is natural and it’s largely just insecurities that make for poor word choice).
It's true about the Dunkleosteus being able to open and snap their mouths shot in a matter of milliseconds, not only that but their teeth, were not teeth, but somewhat a part of their armor, and they were like blades. They were basically slightly smaller than a Megalodon.
They put in Deinosuchus but not Sarcosuchus, I'm hurt. I mean the difference between Deino and Sarco is that Deino had a thicker snout and jaw while Sarco's Snout was long and Narrow, also Deino had more weight than Sarco and while both ambushed Dinosaurs when they come close to water, Deino had the stronger bite force than Sarco thanks to it's thicker, shorter snout and jaws.
i mean, deinosuchus is also substantialy bigger than sarcosuchus too. and to the biggest specimens, the skull of deinosuchus were around the size of the sarcosuchus skull
WRONG. The Megalodon went extinct before the Ice Age due to climate change; the Earth became colder and Megalodon was cold blooded so it froze. The reason why you said that is because 95% of the oceans is unexplored.
@@birdieW-79 Your reasoning doesn't make sense that "Megalodon was cold blooded so it froze". There are a lot of cold blooded animals that survived the multiple ice ages, crocodiles have been around for 240 million years, since before the dinosaurs, they've been through mass extinctions yet they're still around. There are many types of sharks that are still alive that have been around since or before Megalodon evolved and they're all cold blooded and they didn't "freeze"!! It is believed that the rise of whales, particularly predator whales such as killer and sperm whales made it more difficult for Megalodon to compete for food.
I Kinda feel bad for the Smilodons. They look very fluffy. I wonder what it would be like to have one as a pet? Would it just devour me when given the chance? I am actually super curious now.
Definitely glad that Titanoboa and Andrewsarchus are no longer around. And that's just on land! I'm not particularly comfortable swimming in the ocean as it is, but I'd absolutely refuse to go near them if Carcharodon Megalodon and Mosasaurs still existed.
I believe all creatures deserve a chance and I dream of living in a world where all creatures of all shapes and sizes from the past present and future live together
Good job mixing up Argentavis and Pelagornis, misspelling the one and using pictures of Mesozoic dinosaurs. I do love the image at 8:20, where one confronts a marsupial sabertooth.
Creo que la peor criatura con la que podrías haberte encontrado sería un gigante de sangre caliente del pasado. Ser un animal de sangre fría tenía sus ventajas. El animal no tenía que regular su temperatura corporal. Esto significaba que necesitaba menos alimento y eso era una ventaja cuando la comida escaseaba. Pero ser de sangre fría también limitaba el desarrollo del cerebro de los animales. No los estoy llamando ineptos. Lejos de eso, lo que quiero decir es que estos animales tienen un pequeño conjunto de necesidades. Como comida, refugio y un compañero ocasional para el apareamiento. Siempre que se satisfagan esas necesidades primitivas, tiene buenas posibilidades de sobrevivir a un encuentro accidental. Ahora, si te encuentras con un animal de sangre caliente, tus posibilidades de salir con vida, y mucho menos ileso, están en seria duda.
No Mososaur? The largest ever found was 65 feet! Think about that... A 65 foot Shark hunter. All that 'Jurassic World' stuff is true. About them lying in wait, and laying ambushes. Not only were they deadly, but they were smart too. The King of the Ocean, ever. Anything caught in its jaws, was dead. Even Megalodon.
Mosasaurs were actually no bigger than 14 meters. And no, Megalodon is much heavier and have stronger bite than Mosa it don't stand a chance unless its pack of them.
Pelagornis Sandersi lived near seas and ocean and was the largest bird in terms of wingspan reaching 7.3m while argentavis magnificens the largest species of argentavis had a wingspan reaching 5.09m -6.5m.

Why is it even in this list? it's a top choice for animals you'd wish were still around.
I heard they had muscular NECKS so they used their teeth and literally daggers constantly stabbing up and down
Smilodon had a powerful neck instead of a deadly bite. It would lift its head, open its mouth, and drive its stabbing fangs into its prey.
I could be wrong but Lynx and Bobcats chase and catch rabbits all the time. They could probably turn on a dime, short tail or not.

It's sad that humans are responsible for a lot of animals going extinct
Still are , it’s still happening. Give it another 20 years more animals will be added to the list
I’m waiting for the extinction of rats and cockroaches.
What makes you say that we are responsible? And how do you know that the extinction of these animals are not necessary?
How about my favorite: the Gorgonapsid. A formidable protomammal from before the Permian/Triassic extinction event.

As a species, we are terrifying and have caused so much destruction. But without our weapons we obviously wouldn't stand a chance against some of these animals.
From all of this species only deinosuchus argentavis titanoboa and phourassuhus were scary. But really good video!
really enjoyed this video and the way it presented such intriguing information about extinct animals. however, i can’t help but wonder if it’s a bit misleading to say we should be glad they’re gone. i mean, every species plays a role in its ecosystem, and their extinction might have consequences we’re not fully aware of. what do you all think?
i really enjoyed this video! it’s fascinating to learn about animals that are no longer with us, but i can't help but wonder if some of them could’ve actually played a role in today’s ecosystems. it feels a bit sad that we’ll never know how they might’ve adapted to our changing world. what do you all think?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It's fascinating yet bittersweet to think about how extinct animals might have influenced today's ecosystems. Their adaptations could have been incredible, but maybe their absence also shaped the world we know today. What are your thoughts on the balance between nature's loss and evolution?
I like how you pronounce all these extinct names that are hard to pronounce so easly
@Liked Monkey only for arthropods
The animals were larger because there was about 16% more oxygen in the air. I'm not 100% positive about 16% it could be 18% too 28%
Anyways a study was done on some insects with higher oxygen in a sealed case with the same in insect in the air we have now and the higher oxygen insect growth was 72% larger. And thats not adding the cold Blood to warm blooded factor.
the oxygen thing only aply to arthropods, because they have a diferent breathing system, the giant vertebrate animals usually have to do with, the amount of food available to them, some times the temperature of the ecosystem they're living in and also some adaptation such as the air sacks in dinosaurs, to make their bodies lighter and not die from overheating.
*and with reptiles they never stop growing so long age and an abundance of prey would result in some really big lizards*
Something definitely did happen to the mammals, because many mammals from the past were much larger than mammals today. Check out a baluchitherium, an ancient hornless rhinoceros. It was as high at the shoulder as the head of a giraffe is today. The only case I know of where the modern mammals are bigger are the seagoing mammals (like blue whales). The huge, ancient mammals went extinct for some reason. It's hard to ambush prey if you're huge.
It's pretty wild to think about how much the world has changed throughout it's existence. I wonder how the wildlife will continue to evolve once people are gone.
We will continue to kill everything, including the Earth itself. SMH
They gon be the size they was before us but even bigger . Like humans were once gaints 🤷🏽♀️everything was bigger once
wish we could see it huh
@@Its.onlylun there's zero evidence that humans were once "giants"
@@Its.onlylun I think by the time Humans became a thing we were probably a lot smaller and if anything we are in our biggest form right now.
This was very enlightening. Appreciate it!
Scheich, Papo and Modjo have GOT to make toys of these!!
Hmmm, to be fair, a lot of these animals are just really cool and no reason at all to wish to never see them again. Like thMeganeura or the Hallucigenea Forti or the Anomalocaris. They all are such cool animals, yet you present them as if they were nothing but detestable. Come on, those shouldn't be on this list!
3:02 It went extinct around 100,000 years ago. This channel is really sketchy, getting all these facts wrong.
You said: "megalodon went extinct about 3.6 million years ago." But also said "the arcdotus was native to America, California, until about 11,000 years ago." & "They went (extinct) probably around the same time as megalodon."
3.6million years That's a huge gap between the two animals.
cool
He also said our closest ancestor from this vid was living around a thousand years ago, lol. That's essentially modern history.
Yeah, these are RUclips's equivalent of sketchy media. Potentially amusing, and contaminated with bullshit.
@@firstofall...802 That would make it 1000 years younger than Jesus. Lol 😂
i really enjoyed the insights in this video, it was informative and well-made. but honestly, i can't help but feel a bit conflicted about celebrating their extinction. sure, some of these animals were dangerous, but every creature has its role in the ecosystem. sometimes it feels like we're just erasing parts of nature instead of finding ways to coexist. what do you all think?
I love nature 😊
I love 😍 nature
👩
Even though there are super deadly creatures I would probably be okay if they were still alive
this kind of footage always gives the impression a deadly creature was lurking in every nook or cranny.
most predators are sparse and wide distributed and how many people living in the area where cougars excist see them on a daily basis? Hardly anyone.
I would never love to see them😱😱😱
I like snakes oh thought I don't want to have a pet titanoboa
If T Rex and Sabor Tooth Tiger and magolodon were still alive i would never go on a Safari and never go in ocean and never go in jungles
@@smonkeyfunkid5980 If they existed, I'd love to have a pet titanoboa, except, it would probably eat me on a dime, and also cost a fortune to sustain lol.
"Have you ever thought about worms with legs?"
No....no i don't
They would all be in danger by us if they were still alive
awesome video
2:17 if that thing still alive today we can seeing rumbling and 80% population on earth are vanished
Hallucigenia forti look like the the creature that turn Ymir into the first founding titan, I think so
You might turn into a titan if it touched you
I believe that was the inspiration for that titan giver. I don't exactly know.

Your seeing things!
Animals were many massive in size because there were a lot more oxidant in the atmosphere
Cool fact
I just find it fascinating about what was around millions of years ago 😊
Your support is like a virtual hug. Sending gratitude your way!
I think all of the land mammals (not bugs or sea creatures) were adorable! I love 4ever green's dialogues! They all were hilarious. I loved this video and the snakes and the birds! I'm obsessed with giant snakes and humongous birds! Oh, and prehistoric animals so this was the PERFECT video for me!
What a collection of crap. Haphazardly and unspecified info, collected of other (better) channels.
The reason why prehistoric animals are so large
Is because of how much oxygen was on earth back then
And oxygen Is one of the inportant factors for growth
I gotta start playing ARK again! A game where you can swim with trilobites, chill with a stego, ride a raptor, tame a dire wolf, and even encounter a dragon.
I like it 😁😁😁
I like that you have the titles of the different videos you included in your video! Like citing your sources. Very cool. Thank you more stuff for me to check out

Nice work-- the movie clips helped dramatize their harmful potential, even if they did not share our era.
I like it. It's very useful
All of those monsters just devovled into what we see today
Its sad to see people who are afraid of those creatures and just refuse to apreciate them as what they trully are
Animals, beaultifull animals that we are unlucky that we will never ever have a chance to see
Even if the creatures in this video are "scary" we should apreciate them just like we apreciate animals nowadays and not just fear them
We can appreciate them and still be glad that they are extinct. Mammals were no bigger than an opossum when Dinosaurs roamed the planet as an example. You had a lot of Mammals that have tiny descendants compared to what we had then. Sloths as big as 20ft, etc. Considering how dominant Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Polar Bears are today, I'm glad that Cave Bears went extinct as they were far larger and more scary. I'm sorry, but Dinosaurs sharing a planet with Humans would mean that we were screwed. It would be far worse than what you saw in Jurassic Park.
@@Deadsea_1993 cave bears were less agressive and had a more herbivore sided diet.
non avian dinos livig with us does not mean we are screwed, just some species woukd screw us, like carnivore theropods, while dinos like ornithomimids and dwarf sauropods could live with us
Snakes and spiders are the worst creatures on the planet. What blows my mind is that some people think eating meat is wrong but do not complain about animals eating other animals.
You’d only be sad until one of them were feasting on your lifeless carcass. Me? I’d be giggling while watching from a safe distance away.
For almost any viewers from outside the USA, it would be helpful if you also told the metric measurements, because most non-US people don't know how much e.g. "6 feet" is.
Don’t worry. Most Americans can’t gauge 6 ft either.
Average height of a person is 6 feet.
every three feet is a yard, and a yard is 0.9144 of a meter. So almost two meters.
as to your initial comment at the begininning of this video, We SHOULD ONLY work hard to ensure WE AS HUMANS do not cause the extinction of an animal/plant species. If however it is a NATURALLY occurring extinctinction event, then SIMPLY let Nature take it's course.
really enjoyed this video and the way it highlights the impact of extinction. however, i can’t help but feel like it romanticizes the idea of these deadly animals being gone. isn’t it a bit concerning that we often celebrate extinction instead of focusing on conservation efforts for the species still here? just a thought!
4 ever green : look at this prehistoric monster
Me who plays ark: I'm 3000 lightyears ahead of you
I think the worst creature you could have ever come across would be a warm blooded giant of the past. Being a cold blooded animals had its advantages. The animal didn't have to regulate their body temperature This meant less nourishment needed and that was a plus in tines when food was scarce. But being cold blooded also limited the developement of the animals brain. I am not calling them inept.Far from it what I mean is these animals have a small set of needs.Such as food, shelter and the occasional companion for mating. As long as those primitive needs are met you have a good chance of surviving an accidental encounter. Now if you came across a warm blooded animal your chance of getting away alive let alone unscathed are in serious doubt.
Why! You may ask. Well most warm blooded animals have a higher amount of intelligence than the cold blooded ones. The warmth enabled the brain to grow giving warm blooded animals more options then the basic needs of survival. It gave the animal emotions. If you have a 500 pound black bear angry its going to lash out That's the same years ago if you startled a smiladon its going to do the same thing.
Just think of this a TEN foot tall ape like animal with a 6 foot reach and two -three inch teeth.You just happen to come into it's nesting area with his females and infants. You got the short end of the stick To put bluntly.You are screwed!! This animal is going to rip you are apart. Now if you came across a giant crocodile and he already feasted on one of your friends and isn't in the mood for
a crying human( that's you or me crying like a baby) You might have a chance
I have a question about Anomalocaris….something about those toothed tentacles has never looked right to me. I like the design but I’m curious how palentognists know for certain that it was hunting like it is in the clip? Those tentacles I always thought looked more like they could be being used to dig into the ocean floor to find hidden animals(it’s that scene out of walking with monsters where it’s eating a trilobite that makes me question how practical that using them for that is). I don’t know I’m not an expert and I’m probably looking at it from the advantage of a few millions years removed.
I think they have found numerous tribute remains with bite marks matching the mouth parts of anomalocaris. But over 400 million years the best the best of us can do is guess.
I agree with both of you…they probably did both…attacked and searched in my opinion…so true that all we can do is guess though
paeontologists never know anything "for sure". That's not how science works in general. Science only knows the truth approximately and can only talk approach it as closely as possible, but never 100%. And true science NEVER claims to do that. only people who produce youtube videos claim to present "truths".
@@fiedelmina You are right and I think I misspoke when I put the comment up originally because I was insecure and thought I sounded stupid(I think it happens to everyone they come up with their own theory and because they’re not confident they act like questioning science is not allowed…yet questioning science is natural and it’s largely just insecurities that make for poor word choice).
i don't believe that fossils are so old, nothing from a million years ago should be able to exist
Love these kinds of videos! Thankfully they are all a more manageable size now. Or are they?
My favorite animals is megalodon shark
props to the camera man for recording this much extinct animals
2:20 when you get too addicted to anime and mistaken this creature for the one who made the first founding titan
Can you stop watching aot and live
Lmao
I can appreciate the past, but it's the future that sometimes gives me the willies.
Amazing content!!! 👏👏👏
They are so strong deadly and powerful we would not stand a chance we are lucky they are dead
I believe he neglected to give the actual size of the titanokorys gaines. FWIW, it's 1.6 feet (according to Google).
I think you meant “Sabertooth” as the smilodon because smilodon I don’t think exist
It's true about the Dunkleosteus being able to open and snap their mouths shot in a matter of milliseconds, not only that but their teeth, were not teeth, but somewhat a part of their armor, and they were like blades. They were basically slightly smaller than a Megalodon.
For some reason, they aren't the stars of bad movies.
whats the shot from the sabertooth part from? what movie is it?
This is awesome 👌🏿
They put in Deinosuchus but not Sarcosuchus, I'm hurt. I mean the difference between Deino and Sarco is that Deino had a thicker snout and jaw while Sarco's Snout was long and Narrow, also Deino had more weight than Sarco and while both ambushed Dinosaurs when they come close to water, Deino had the stronger bite force than Sarco thanks to it's thicker, shorter snout and jaws.
i mean, deinosuchus is also substantialy bigger than sarcosuchus too.
and to the biggest specimens, the skull of deinosuchus were around the size of the sarcosuchus skull
Deinosuchus is more related to alligators than crocodiles.
Fun fact: *megalodon is still here in 95% of the ocean*
Relax. 😭😭😭
no
WRONG. The Megalodon went extinct before the Ice Age due to climate change; the Earth became colder and Megalodon was cold blooded so it froze. The reason why you said that is because 95% of the oceans is unexplored.
@@birdieW-79 Your reasoning doesn't make sense that "Megalodon was cold blooded so it froze". There are a lot of cold blooded animals that survived the multiple ice ages, crocodiles have been around for 240 million years, since before the dinosaurs, they've been through mass extinctions yet they're still around.
There are many types of sharks that are still alive that have been around since or before Megalodon evolved and they're all cold blooded and they didn't "freeze"!!
It is believed that the rise of whales, particularly predator whales such as killer and sperm whales made it more difficult for Megalodon to compete for food.
@@1wor1d Mako sharks and great white are warm blooded.
I Kinda feel bad for the Smilodons. They look very fluffy. I wonder what it would be like to have one as a pet? Would it just devour me when given the chance? I am actually super curious now.
I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure it'd be the same as having a pet tiger. Which I don't recommend you or anyone getting.
Definitely glad that Titanoboa and Andrewsarchus are no longer around. And that's just on land! I'm not particularly comfortable swimming in the ocean as it is, but I'd absolutely refuse to go near them if Carcharodon Megalodon and Mosasaurs still existed.
I believe all creatures deserve a chance and I dream of living in a world where all creatures of all shapes and sizes from the past present and future live together
Trust me. You wouldn't want that
You’d be the first one we’d trip while we were running from the giant scorpions

Creo que la peor criatura con la que podrías haberte encontrado sería un gigante de sangre caliente del pasado. Ser un animal de sangre fría tenía sus ventajas. El animal no tenía que regular su temperatura corporal. Esto significaba que necesitaba menos alimento y eso era una ventaja cuando la comida escaseaba. Pero ser de sangre fría también limitaba el desarrollo del cerebro de los animales. No los estoy llamando ineptos. Lejos de eso, lo que quiero decir es que estos animales tienen un pequeño conjunto de necesidades. Como comida, refugio y un compañero ocasional para el apareamiento. Siempre que se satisfagan esas necesidades primitivas, tiene buenas posibilidades de sobrevivir a un encuentro accidental. Ahora, si te encuentras con un animal de sangre caliente, tus posibilidades de salir con vida, y mucho menos ileso, están en seria duda.
¿Estas una especialista en la estudia de animales antiguos?
No Mososaur? The largest ever found was 65 feet! Think about that... A 65 foot Shark hunter.
All that 'Jurassic World' stuff is true. About them lying in wait, and laying ambushes. Not only were they deadly, but they were smart too.
The King of the Ocean, ever. Anything caught in its jaws, was dead. Even Megalodon.
Mosasaurs were actually no bigger than 14 meters.
And no, Megalodon is much heavier and have stronger bite than Mosa it don't stand a chance unless its pack of them.
@@januszpolak254 Tylosaurus is 14 m Mosasaurus is 17 m

Fiercer than GenZ? I doubt it...
