These Ancient Animals Scarier Than Dinosaurs

Are there many who know what was BEFORE the dinosaurs? What animals lived 100 million years before them? Or what fearsome beasts lived 50 million years after them?
We bet there are far fewer experts here.
But there must have been some creatures living on the planet at those times, right?
And some of those creatures were scarier than the dinosaurs. If not in size, then in appearance.
Today you're going to discover:
What ancient fish had a bite force twice stronger than a modern polar bear?
What ancient bird had a wingspan almost as large as an F16 fighter jet?
What monster had the body of a bull and the head of a boar?
And many more interesting things!

Ancient animals scarier than dinosaurs.

Kudos to the cameraman for getting ancient footage what a legend 🎉

Well it's no wonder why we didn't live at that time. We would have been essentially chicken McNuggets to these beasts.

3:43 "they found that the jaws [of dunkleosteus] could open so quickly they sucked water in like a pump. This works well while hunting smaller prey."
Meanwhile on screen: Dunkleosteus failing miserably at hunting ammonites.

I love how they added two of my most favorite childhood memories: Walking with Beasts and ARK Survival😂

the old age of mega insects is freaking scary with the varieties and sizes they go to.

Nothing is scarier than the modern day Karen

So many species have gone extinct it's just mind boggling. Also discomforting knowing we will as well be extinct one day. We may even contribute to the cause.

How did the scientists figure out these animal behaviors from a few fossilized bones?

If we understood the length of time that was involved of ancient animals it may make better sense to our senses.

There is a Dunkleosteus skull at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Highly recommend checking it out if you plan a trip there!

I love the dunkleosteus and their guillotine mouths. They are one of my favorite ancient animals.

The scariest and most destructive animal is man. In a study recently they played audio in the wild of various predators like lions, Wolves etc. Nothing spooked the animals more than audio of people.

How did they know this much about this fish? They don’t even have a complete skeleton. It’s all a guessing game.

[conspiraciesarejustgreatst]

Fantastic video. Literally one of the best I've ever seen. Love the detail and imagery. Great info and the way you give all sides of a hypothesis

[whichgodofthousandsmeansno]

"They fed on sharks...", let that sink in.

The Dunkleosteus reminds me of an episode of River Monsters with Jeremy Wade, where he investigates what kind of fish that castrated two men in New Guinea.

I don't deny Evolution, quite the opposite actually. But one thing that still boggles my mind is that Evolution seems "sentient", for lack of a better word. It "knows" what traits to erase and adopt for the most part. My question is how? How does it "know" that it's best for elephants to have only two tusks and bent upwards, with a much smaller lower jaw? How does it know where to build armor? It's something I never heard anyone talking about. Like the fish. How does the embrio know it has to develop thick plating in the head if the parents didn't have it? I gotta know. And no, it's not "God done did it".

I was having visions of this stuff days before coming across this video. The great continent and everything.

The fallen angels from hell made the monsters is why there was a flood and is because we can't find the bones of the monsters.
