A modern ocean dwelling apex predator with razor sharp teeth would be no match for the 40 foot long monster scientists have proclaimed as the most powerful reptile ever disovered. Known as Pliosaurus Funkei, this beast devoured sharks as snacks appoximately 150 million years ago in the waters around Europe and South America. With a bite 4 times stronger than a T-Rex, this extnict monster has earned the nickname PREDATOR X! |
4 times larger than a great white shark, scientists believe MEGALODON had the most powerful bite of any animal ever! |
Meet HATZEGOPTERYX; a 600 pound behemoth taller than an adult giraffe with a huge jaw wide enough to swallow a human or small dinosaur in one gulp! Oh yeah, it also flies at speeds close to 70 miles per hour. |
MEGATHARIUM was one of the largest land mammals that ever existed and lived as recently as 10,000 years ago in South America. It weighed over 8,000 pounds and stood at a menacing 20 feet high. Imagine looking out your bedroom window and seeing a giant sloth that's larger than an elephant! |
Deep in a South American jungle, a huge 50 foot snake once stalked its prey. After slinking closer and closer to an unsuspecting animal, the silent 2,500 pound hunter known as TITANOBOA would strike in a flash and snap its victim’s neck in one swift move. Its prey didn’t even hear the predator coming amid the noise of the prehistoric jungle 60 million years ago. No animal had a chance to avoid this monster that was first discovered in 2009. |
This is the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs. With a length of 59 feet and a weight of 40,000 the semi aquatic SPINOSAURUS could devour prey on land or in water with its 64 razor sharp teeth! |
Nicknamed TERMINATOR PIGS these large 2,000 pound beasts, related to hippos, once roamed the western United States! |
Perhaps the closest thing to Bigfoot, GIGANTOPITHECUS was the largest primate species that ever lived. These giant apes stood close to 10 feet tall and weighed as much as 1,300 pounds! These powerful predators lived in what is now Vietnam, China, and Indonesia around two million to 300,000 years ago, at the same period as early man! |
