they put modern animals to shame welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
prehistoric animals hundreds of teeth
capable of inflicting terrible damage on
its prey a jaw or three meters wide and
2 meters high for this list we’re
looking at the coolest animals that
lived before written history every type
of animal is eligible from dinosaurs to
fish to mammals as long as they’re
extinct and prehistoric the entries are
ranked by how renowned interesting and
impressive they were with an emphasis on
notoriety welcome
to Jurassic Park
number ten a stamina soukous though not
recognizable to humans as stamina suka
smushed have been a celebrity among its
prehistoric brethren its cubone like
appearance would have made it memorable
with a name that means crowned crocodile
which conjures a rough idea of its
appearance the estimate asuka’s predated
dinosaurs meaning we don’t have a lot of
information on the animal and what we do
have is strangely ambiguous its body
could extend to more than ten feet long
with a 26 inch long head an imposing
sight even without the antler like horns
what’s more the estimate asuka’s was
also said to have been an omnivore
though some experts peg it as more of a
plant eating creature so while it’s true
identity remains a mystery at least we
can say it looks like a pokemon number 9
Lyall plural dawn you think the ocean
scary now try living in the Jurassic
period when its aquatic inhabitants were
true sea monsters like Laura Dhin at 150
tons it is the largest and most powerful
carnivore ever to live on the planet the
ruler of the Seas was Lyle Oregon a
short necked pliosaur with a four-foot
skull and an intimidating set of Jaws
Liopleurodon was originally thought to
be 80 feet long given the size of
individual bones but this was redacted
when a more accurate and conservative
estimate of 16 to 23 feet was announced
but even so this is little to curb our
fear that is colossal when I’m sure this
is life Corrigan the t-rex of the ocean
an apex predator with an appetite for
flesh and bone Liopleurodon is an
underrated killer like pleura Dena
fiercely territorial about their hunting
areas and confrontations almost always
end in violence number 8 Triceratops
it was the vegetarian king of the
dinosaurs despite no carnivorous
appetite Triceratops was built like an
armored tank capable of overpowering the
most ferocious dinosaur adversaries they
had this big massive bomb
big gut so you know we’re talking of an
animal that’s maybe four or five times
in museum recreations the battles
between Triceratops and t-rex were the
Ahly Frasier’s of the Cretaceous period
if there’s an animal who’s sent with
frightened a t-rex it’s Triceratops in
real life it’s debatable just how epic
and frequent these clashes were but it’s
clear that Triceratops was not an easy
prey for the big guy
its horns were once thought to be a
means of defense used to assert
authority Triceratops was one of the
last dinosaurs to go extinct outliving
several species that came before it it’s
clear that Triceratops vegetarian
lifestyle did not make it any less of a
survivor Triceratops is heavily armed
and heavily armored and can kill you
number seven Smilodon also known as the
saber-toothed tiger where a second there
I actually thought you’re gonna eat me
I don’t eat junk food an apex predator
supreme these animals were only
distantly related to tigers and are
definitely one of the more recognizable
ferocious beasts on this list
they had a thick muscular body a large
jaw and long protruding canines that
were ready for the kill the serrated
teeth were like little steak knives
ideal for scavenging off to mum had made
the kill with the help of their
signature 11 inch weapons Smilodon
hunted and impaled animals of all shapes
and sizes
including giant bison mammoths and
ground sloths Smilodon is also the
largest known feline to have ever lived
tipping the scales at almost 900 pounds
and possibly over 1,000 they reigned for
two million years before dying out in
10,000 BC number six spinosaurus
spinosaurus
at 17 meters the biggest killer ever to
walk the earth
despite the notoriety of predatory
dinosaurs like t-rex allosaurus and
albertasaurus none was larger or more
terrifying than Spinosaurus
estimates place its size at up to 60
feet long and almost 21 tons which would
make Spinosaurus the largest predatory
dinosaur in fact the 40-foot 10-ton
t-rex you know the supposed king of the
dinosaurs looks like a child next to
this killing machine size aside its
features were doubly unsettling with a
head like a crocodile spinal vertebrae
that made a giant sail on its back and a
bevy of specialized teeth
Spinosaurus hunted on land and in water
as it pleased it dominated for millions
of years before dying in the scent o
mein e’en extinction
I think Spinosaurus is ready now to
occupy its space in the pantheon of
dinosaurs number 5 titanoboa
to reflect its ancestry as well as its
enormity it will be called titanoboa a
boa of Titanic proportions Oh video
phobics that is those who fear snakes
beware snakes why’d it have to be snakes
titanoboa could make an anaconda look
like a garter snake at 42 feet titanoboa
was twice as long as the reticulated
pythons we currently have slithering
around and almost 12 times heavier than
the green anaconda the largest snake
living today this one-ton serpent lived
in the period that succeeded the
dinosaurs and though it was considered
an apex predator preying on gigantic
reptilian contemporaries like turtles
and crocodiles it’s now thought to have
primarily feasted on fish in 2009
several vertebrae of the titanoboa were
found in a South American mine giving us
a much better idea of their magnitude
the vertebra indicates a snake vastly
bigger than any snake today so big that
it stretches the entire length of the
lab number for paraceratherium 30
million years ago there existed a land
animal that would put the largest
African elephant to shame
paraceratherium was a harmless
rhinoceros that could grow to almost
twenty four and a half feet long and up
to 16 feet high at its shoulders with
its weight reaching up to 20 tons
to put that in perspective some giraffes
Nexen all would barely clear its
shoulders and the biggest elephant
wouldn’t even crack eight tons though
considered by many to be the largest
terrestrial mammal ever to have lived
paraceratherium was an herbivore with no
anatomical weapons save its size leaving
a comparatively gentle giant who could
but probably wouldn’t stop most
creatures to death number three woolly
mammoths of all the prehistoric mammals
none is more iconic than the woolly
mammoth living during the Pleistocene
period these large hairy elephants
populated the northern hemisphere with a
presence indicating strong biodiversity
mammoths helped further the development
of humanity with every piece being used
as material for either food clothing or
shelter the woolly mammoth is also
renowned for its imperishable ‘ti since
the Wrangell island population lived
till four thousand years ago for context
that means there were mammoths living
long after the pyramids were built and
since there’s been a tremendous amount
of organic material originating from
mammoths found preserved in ice
mammoths remain a prime candidate for
cloning get ready for mammoth Park
George’s team of bright young
geneticists is already working on
modifying the elephant genome number 2
Megalodon
you’re gonna need a bigger boat you’re
definitely gonna need a bigger boat for
this beast imagine a shark larger than a
whale and you have just begun to breach
the surface of this horrifying
apparition perhaps the best indication
of its nearly incomprehensible size is
the dimensions of its mouth at 9 feet
high and 11 feet wide megalodons mouth
would have little problem engulfing a
school bus
it was also lined with seven-inch teeth
which worked to produce a bite force of
20 u.s. tons per square inch behind the
46 teeth in the front row approximately
200 more teeth lie in rows waiting to
flip forward to the front and take their
place on the predatory battlefield
Megalodon was similar in appearance to a
great white shark but three times as
large and considering its combination of
size and power it may be the greatest
predator in earth’s history
if the Megaton spotted a squatted on it
wouldn’t have hesitated to attack before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions but to bring
down a camel it would also have to run
fast this will belong to a bus or killer
the size of a great white but they got a
lot bigger than that by reconstructing
all the evidence that we have gathered
from the fossil bones we can now reveal
velociraptor at its most ruthless and
there it was the long streamlined shape
this had to be the Scylla soros number
one Tyrannosaurus Rex it is the
undisputed king of the dinosaurs both in
name and reputation as Tyrannosaurus Rex
literally means tyrant lizard king since
the first Tyrannosaurus remains were
uncovered in 1874 people have been
fascinated by this dynamic creature
which has popped up time and time again
in every form of media
fossil recreations of its skeleton are
always among the most popular part of
any museum with its undeniably fierce
appearance and demonstrated skill as a
predator its popularity proves that
human beings love being scared
t-rex also turned the spotlight on
theropod dinosaurs the bipedal Giants
that include the Utah Raptor
gigantasaurus and Allosaurus and while
those guys have been worthy challengers
to its notoriety t-rex will never be
dethroned
