our first terrifying ancient Beast the dun colosus this one's got armor plating and an attitude problem that'll make you grateful it's gone into Extinction let's call it the armored tank of the devonian period imagine a fish that's not only the size of a bus but also equipped with a mouth full of guillotine blades see dunal loius was a beast stretching up to 33 ft long and weighing around 4 tons and its most terrifying feature was its jaw this bad boy can snap shut with the force of a T-Rex bite thanks to its razor sharp self-sharpening
bony plates no fish no matter how slick or Speedy could Escape once dunos has had it in its sights picture it you're a prehistoric fish just cruising the ancient Seas enjoying a plankton Buffet when suddenly you see this enormous shadow overhead before you can say swim dunk colosus Rockets toward you mouth wide open and trust me it's lights out this Predator didn't just hunt it annihilated but here's the crazier part dunk lus didn't have true teeth instead it had two pairs of rough blade-like structures that grew continuously and kept themselves sharp by grinding against each
other but if you thought a giant armored fish was terrifying wait until you meet our next ancient Predator this one's got teeth as big as your hand and an appetite that would make a great white shark Run for Cover the Megalodon the Undisputed heavyweight champion of prehistoric sharks imagine a great white shark but super sized to the point where it could use an inter city coach as a toothpick yep that's Megalodon for you Megalodon was a monster 60 feet long and boasting a bite force that could crush a cyber truck its teeth alone were the
size of a human hand and it had several rows of them ensuring no prey could Escape its Wicked grip this Beast patrolled the oceans around 23 to 3.6 million years ago and at that time every Marine creature was a potential snack but Megalodon wasn't just a Mindless eating machine this shark had a strategy it often targeted the fins of its prey first immobilizing them before going in for the kill yeah they were that smart too anyway if you find this video exciting please do well to subscribe all right back to it when you thought it
was safe to go back in the water think again because while megal on ruled the oceans our next Contender made the jungles and swamps a living nightmare meet Titan aboa the giant snake that could give Indiana Jones a heart attack we'll say this is the largest snake ever to exist if you thought modern day anacondas were scary Titan AB boa would make them look like garden snakes this serpent lived around 60 million years ago in the hot and humid jungles of what is now Colombia and could grow up to 45 ft long while weighing over
a ton imagine a snake longer than a school bus and as heavy as a small car what made Titan aboa even more terrifying was its ability to blend into its environment with its dark scaly skin it could easily hide among the thick vegetation and murky Waters making it the ultimate Ambush Predator Titan Neo's strength was legendary it didn't just catch its prey it overpowered them with ease its most trusted method is squeezing life out of its victims there is nothing left but a crumpled mass and with the ability to sense Heat this Dreadful snake could
detect warm-blooded prey even in the dense dark jungles whether it was a giant turtle or a prehistoric crocodile nothing absolutely nothing was safe well apart from just a few like Andrew sarcus the mammal that terrorized the land long before any lion or tiger this prehistoric predator walked on all fours had a face only a mother could love and Jaws that could crush bones imagine a creature that looks like a wolf on steroids with a bite force to match yeah that's Andrew sarcus for you this Beast roamed the Earth around 45 to 36 million years ago
during the EOS epock and was the largest terrestrial Mamon carnivore ever discovered it measured up to 13 ft long and weighed around a ton its massive skull alone was nearly 3 ft long containing Jaws that could crush bones like potato chips interestingly this mammal wasn't picky it was an opportunistic feeder meaning it would eat pretty much anything it could catch from small mammals to Scavenging on carcasses everything is food to Andrew sarcus and it didn't really matter that Andrew sarcus lived in a time when the earth contained several giant species each competing for survival this
animal's unmatchable size and power meant it had very few natural enemies to put things into better context during the EOS Epoch when Andrew sarcus lived early relatives of horses rhinoceroses and large Pig leg creatures known as intellon also populated the Earth Andrew sarcus likely prayed on these animals using its powerful jaws to crush bones and tear flesh Andrew saris' major competitors were the crocodil forms the large prehistoric relatives of modern crocodiles living in the same habitat these two monsters competed for the same food sources and wre Havoc far more than Osama might have done however
Andrew saris' nonpicky attitude and Relentless Spirit have it a distinct Advantage placing it at the top of the food chain but don't get too comfortable if you thought a giant wolf-like creature was unsettling imagine a millipede as long as a car crawling through your backyard yeah things were a whole lot creepier when arth PLS were still here with us imagine this you're on a nature hike enjoying the Great Outdoors when when you spot a millipede no big deal right good now imagine that a millipede is as long as your car and weighs as much too
aropa thrived in an era when the Earth's atmosphere had a much higher oxygen content allowing insects and arthropods to grow to incredible sizes it was a time when Nature seemed to have an obsession with making things bigger and quite frankly scarier but what made artha Stand Out wasn't just its size appearance and movement covered in hard segmented armor this multi-legged giant moved with surprising Speed and Agility navigating dense under brushes with ease imagine seeing what looks like a massive living tank scuttling through the ancient forest floor each segment clattering as it moves now despite its
fearsome appearance arthropo was likely a gentle giant studies suggest he was primarily a herbivore feeding on the Abundant plant material that littered the forest floor its mouth parts were adapted for munching on decayed leaves and other vegetation making it a crucial part of the ecosystem as it helped decompose and recycle plant matter also the exoskeleton of arthropo provided excellent protection against predators this natural armor was a formidable defense mechanism making it difficult for any wouldbe attacker to harm it however the biggest threat to arthr pla was likely not other creatures but chain es in the
environment as oxygen levels in the atmosphere Dro towards the end of the carbon ferus period these Giants eventually disappeared so next time you're out in nature and spot a tiny millipede take a moment to appreciate that its ancient relative isn't around today because indeed Arthur plura might have been a harmless herbivore but its sheer size and creepy crawly nature are enough to make anyone uneasy so there you have it guys if you enjoyed watching this video YouTube thinks you will like this one next so click on it
