The video is a compilation of the 20 most dangerous and fascinating extinct animals that roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
Number 20 is the Megalodon, a colossal species of shark that appeared around 18 million years ago and went extinct about 2.6 million years ago. It could reach up to 18 meters in length and was a dominant predator, with few natural enemies. The Megalodon was closely related to the modern white shark and mainly hunted large marine creatures like whales, dolphins, and sea turtles.
Number 19 is the Platyvelodon, a prehistoric mammal closely related to modern-day elephants. This large herbivorous elephant lived between 23 to 4 million years ago in Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. It was known for its peculiar shovel-shaped lower teeth and could reach up to 6 meters in height.
Number 18 is the Titanoboa, an enormous extinct snake that lived 58 to 60 million years ago in what is now Colombia. It measured almost 13 meters in length and weighed up to 1,135 kilograms. The Titanoboa's diet consisted mainly of birds, reptiles, giant turtles, fish, and even crocodiles.
Number 17 is the Leviathan, the largest prehistoric whale that ever existed. This colossal animal weighed around 50,000 kilograms and was up to 17 meters long.
Number 16 is the Spinosaurus, a striking dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period approximately 112 to 93.5 million years ago. It was capable of hunting both on land and in water and was probably the largest carnivore that ever existed, measuring approximately 15 to 18 meters long and weighing up to 20 tons.
Number 15 is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as the king of the dinosaurs. It is one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that ever existed, with fossils found in what is now North America. The T-Rex had strong, tall hind legs that allowed it to move remarkably quickly, and its forelimbs were quite powerful despite its small size.
Number 14 is the Mosasaurus, one of the largest and last extinct carnivorous reptiles. The creature lived exclusively in water about 66 million years ago and was a formidable hunter, preying on large fish, sea turtles, smaller mosasaurs, and even birds.
Number 13 is the Racidacarus, also known as the terror birds, a family of extinct flightless birds that roamed South America and Antarctica about 70 million years ago. These birds varied in size from 6 centimeters to 3 meters and were known for their terrifying appearance.
Number 12 is the Megatherium, a colossal sloth that once roamed the lands of South America and was as large as an elephant. It was up to six meters long and weighed around four tons. Despite its size, this Giant Sloth fed mainly on plants and used its powerful claws to tear branches from trees.
Number 11 is the Helicoprion, a shark-like creature that swam in the Earth's oceans 280 million years ago. This species managed to survive the Permian Triassic mass extinction. The Helicoprion was terrifying due to its lower jaw that resembled a circular saw.
Number 10 is the Carbonemis, a prehistoric creature known for its gigantic size and impressive housekeeping abilities. This extinct species of turtle roamed the Earth about 60-58 million years ago in what is now northeastern Colombia.
Number 9 is the Lopteros, a giant sea scorpion that lived about 390 million years ago. It had strong defense mechanisms including beaks, claws, and armor to protect itself from predators.
Number 8 is the Quetzalcoatlus, a pterosaur that ruled the Heavens with its enormous size, making it the largest flying creature that has ever lived on Earth. This winged creature lived about 72 to 66 million years ago in North America during the late Cretace
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The megalodon was an impressive species of shark that appeared for the first time on Earth about 18 million years ago and became extinct about 2.6 million years ago.
2. The megalodon was closely related to the modern white shark and hunted mainly large marine creatures such as whales, dolphins and sea turtles.
3. The megalodon had a length of almost 18 meters and a bite force of more than 10 tons.
4. The fossil teeth of the megalodon are found regularly and are easily recognizable due to their unique shape and size.
5. Some people still believe that the megalodon exists, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
