Dunkleosteus is among my most favorite of prehistoric creatures, and one I am sincerely afraid of. It's dreaded jaws did not actually have teeth. The "teeth" were actually extensions of its jawbone, forming a likeness to teeth that were sharp, strong, and deadly

[Doom_fan]

Finally, my favorite prehistoric animal is shown in all of its glory.

[TexasTimeLord]

Can't imagine an adult Dunkle passing up a smaller one right in front of it to eat a tinier snailfish in that scenario,

[cezannejimenez]

The music for this scene is so good!!!

[bkjeong]

For some reason they massively oversized it but also gave it its proper modern, tuna-like anatomy.

[paulmartin]

Crunchy on the outside - chewy in the middle! My fav...

[Lenny-byqs]

I have a feeling they heard the news of the dunk's size change and pretended it never happened

[LiminalMindsQuizzes]

I don't think Dunkleosteus is a social creature that lives in group. It was most likely a cannibal that preyed on anything that swim close to it.

[JAEGARNAUT]

I was hyper fixated on this critter for a while, and it dawned on me that the shape of it's "jaws" was identical to that of modern day puffer fish. These things would have had "lips" to help control pressure in their mouths, and draw in prey via depressurization. Given the dietary specs, their preferred food would have been crustaceans and shellfish, and maybe the random carcass or slow moving fish.

[calebbusing]

Someday there should be a movie with it. There already have been quite a few movies with Megalodon so I think Dunkleosteus deserves a turn

[Cyproduction]

When seeing this it made me realize that nature is and always has been testing out animals and their effectiveness. Arms, legs, eyes, teeth, nose, skin, ears, claws, colors, and whatever else you can think of. It's like a testing ground, and nature throws in mixtures to see what it does, how it reacts and how effective it is, but always keeping things in balance just to get the best test results.
We as humans on the other hand span out of control... why is that? Did mother nature gave us too much power? A will and conscience to rise above all others, and for what?

[StumpkillerCP]

Dunkleosteus and Morgan Freeman. What could be better? There is a wonderful preserved head in a semi-local Palentological Research Institution that I visit on occasion as a pilgrimage. What a creature!

[adamsanter]

Even though modern estimates have pretty much halved the size of Dunkleosteus to about 4-5 meters I still wouldn't wanna be in the water with that thing if it were alive today

[franklanierofficial]

Morgan Freeman Narrating anything is calming 💯

[Its_me_Stolas]

Really a shame that this spesific step went extinct. I mean, Goliaths groupers are a thing, but they hit different

[littleolghostly]

Although it may carry measly lookin teeth, it is quite effective when applied to the jugular plates

[crzrck]

My problem with all these shows? The predators are always more successful than reality..In reality predators fail 9 times out of 10.If they didnt the prey would become extinct

[Toothlessaiahworld]

They are the strongest animals with strongest teeths and exoskeletons. Dunkelosteus is my favorite fish

[X.Factor]

My favorite Devonian, and I think the only devoting in predator being appreciated as it should be dunkleosteus such a interesting animal to say the least

[wither]

I love looking back at the track record of evolution and thinking about body parts that we take for granted now, even just jaws and teeth took millions of years to evolve. the fact that macro predation took time to evolve to, and its so long ago that you can't even really comprehend it without getting a headache from trying. Honestly I get why a lot of people just default to ''God made it'' because that is a hell of a lot easier to wrap your brain around then it is trying to piece together the puzzle of evolution.
