The True Story Of The Giant Prehistoric Hell Pig
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 03. 2024
- Entelodonts, known colloquially as "Hell Pigs," "Killer Pigs," or "Terminator Pigs," were gigantic, fearsome omnivores known for their massive heads and impressive jaw strength. For 21 million terrifying years, these beasts crushed bones and ran through forests and floodplains all across North America, Asia, and Europe. Entelodonts walked among the other giant prehistoric animals of the Cenozoic Era until they went extinct more than 16 million years ago.

‘Prehistoric Hell Pig’ would be a brutal name for a metal band 🤘
💯
dang, you beat me to it
Too bad your mum already took it
I find so much joy in hearing the narrator say “hell pig” 😂
I have always wanted to know more about the dodo bird
Imagine the bacon!
Mmmmm bacon.....
Tough and chewy!😖
Feral hog is yummy , so I will try it
Everything is better with bacon.
@michaelwalton7776 when made poorly.
Hell Pig? That’s what we used to call my Uncle Johnny back in Indiana.
6’5” and almost 400 lbs. Dude earned that name.
Like a Buffalo with an Alligator head! What a cool animal.....
I would not have guessed this if you asked me what would terrorize my dreams for the weekend... but here we are.
Before the video has started I'm already kinda rooting for the hell pig
I grew up in John Day (very rural Eastern Oregon) and often visited the fossil beds on school field trips. Hearing them mentioned in a weird history video made my day!
0:01 The Hell Pig would make a great B film.
There could be a Hell Pig that talks in slick one-liners.
He could run up to the victim and say "This isn't Hog Heaven...it's Hog Hell!"
Looks very similar to Warthogs.
But jumbo sized.
"You can't call something a whale if it has legs."
I hereby retract the 'Yo Mama' joke I made last December. My mistake.
But at one time whales did have legs.
Body positivity....
They call me MISTER Pig!🐗
I love dinosaurs and prehistoric animals bro!
The idea bear-dogs (or carnivorans in general) outcompeted and wiped out entelodonts and hyaenodonts (another, unrelated group) is a very popular one but is actually questionable for several reasons:
- Bear-dogs were actually WORSE and not better at chasing down prey in the open compared to entelodonts or hyaenodonts, being plantigrade and much more specialized for grappling prey into submission in the manner of big cats, while entelodonts were fully unguligrade (much as in living running-adapted hoofed animals) and hyaenodonts were digitigrade or semidigitigrade, with limbs dedicated entirely for walking and running (at the expense of not being able to grapple, but that's why they had those huge jaws instead).
- There is no evidence for the idea of bear-dogs being cooperative pack hunters (there's no evidence AGAINST it either, but see below), and the idea "more evolved" carnivoran predators took over the world through "smarts" and social behaviours is based on an extremely flawed understanding of modern animal behaviour; most terrestrial carnivorans, ESPECIALLY those that go after relatively large prey, AREN'T that social and do their hunting alone (and even the few exceptions like wolves and lions can already kill prey larger than themselves without backup), not to mention that we have no way of telling how smart any extinct animal was because brain size (both absolute and relative to body size) and brain anatomy have been shown to give misleading (and often overly low) estimates of intelligence in living animals compared to what behavioural studies have shown them to be capable of
- Bear-dogs were NOT a new invasive threat in North America that North American predators had no idea how to handle; there were already bear-dogs in North America during the Oligocene such as Daphoenus, and the entelodonts coexisted with them just fine at that point (not to mention there were other genera of entelodonts in Eurasia during the Oligocene as well). As for the hyaenodonts, in Eurasia and Africa they ended up coexisting with bear-dogs as apex predators for over half the Miocene (and in fact having a bit of a resurgence as large predators there in spite of said competiton), which puts an end to the idea they couldn't handle the competition.
"You can call something a whale if it has legs."
Ya mama would beg to differ!
Hell Pigs sounds like the name of a biker gang. 🐷🏍🔥
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Fascinating and unique topic and video!
I just subscribed and i find the comments as entertaining as the videos! Y'all are a HOOT!!!
just love your videos!
Since you’re covering prehistoric and ones that became Extinct hopefully you will cover the following extinct animals on the channel: Megalodon, Arthropleura and other Carboniferous Insects, Quetzacoatlus, The Moa (Extinct Animal), Passenger Pigeon (Extinct Animal), Dodo Bird (Extinct Animal), and the Archaeopteryx.
Wow what an animal. Thanks alot.
Today, the wild boar down in the swamps of Louisiana/Florida, etc. can reach a 1,000 pounds, over 8 to 9 feet long.
Friend of mine went hunting for one once, said it was the scariest thing he's done. (Can't see 'em in the high grass...)
They are my favorite prehistoric animal after dinosaurs
You had me at “hell pig” 😂😂😂😂
We all have a dinosaur deep within us just trying to get out.

3:04 I will have to look into those Fossil Bed sites in Nebraska.
The only Fossil Bed Site I have been to is Ashfall Fossil Beds, which I went to twice as a kid.
I know you sometimes need a break, but stop letting other people do your voiceovers. It's good to hear you again
Do the giant sloth !! Sid would be proud !!
7:29 My parents went to Toadstool Park for one of their trips to Western Nebraska.
Another place in Nebraska I need to go to!
Terminator Pig is another cool metal band name.
5:44 Wyoming has some of the coolest ancient sites!
There is one where they actually give you a key to get in the gate and you can just drive there and see it yourself!
John de Lancie, is that you? My most favorite voice and actor, in the whole world of the entertainment? 🥰
@weirdhistory what instrumental comes in at 3:25? asking for a friend 😅
Ray Troll has painted some great depictions of this monster.
I just googled him and those are awesome
You should do a video on bear dogs now, if you haven't already and I somehow missed it.
1:31 That reminds me of the last scene focusing on Jane Jones (Natalie Portman) in the film Closer (2004).
9:52 The other night on NBC Nightly News, the last segment was about some scientists who are trying to re-create the Woolly Mammoth through elephants...it is unclear how they are going to do that but that is their goal.
Ever heard of Hogzilla? This terrifying giant reminded me of this gin ant terror.
This insanely(I’m seriously serious) large Boar had been a legend in and all around the small city I grew up in, in AL.
Until one day, a Dad and his kid were out hunting. His kid took the kill shot. I believe it weighed over 2 tons(part of why I say look it up) and the photo is insane. It looks bigger than a Grizzly Bear. This was a time before photoshop could successfully render something like this- and it was all over the news.
As time passed on, people started spotting behemoths like this ruining their crops, and still stalking the woods..apparently.
I can’t help but assume if there was one Hogzilla, there must be more.
does anyone else watch documentary's about dinosaurs and other extinct creatures and think to yourself" i could ride that." lol
The way you engage with your viewers during live streams is fantastic. It feels like we're part of the conversation.
Now do one about those giant snakes that roamed the earth for ages, too!!!! 😊
Eocene and Oligocene have the coolest animals. The Dinos get all the love and they're cool, but a Hell Pig resonates with me a lot than something like T-Rex or an Ankylosaur does.
0:08 In reference to monster type creatures...I watched the films The Mummy (1932) and The Invisible Man (1933) the last couple of nights!
They are a part of the Universal Monsters, famous monsters who made their film debut through the production and distribution company Universal Pictures.
WH, maybe something on the Dodo bird would be a great topic to cover
Great vehicle for our favourite narrator😂
3:27 The film Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) was just dropped on Netflix recently.
How to make your videos?
I've never heard of this before must be an ancestor for the wild boar 🐗 and our pigs 🐖 or one of Miss Piggy's relatives
When I read "Hell Pig"...I thought this was about another group of motorbikers
I am going to watch the follow videos:
x How a Coal Mine Dig Unearthed a Prehistoric Mega-Snake (1st Recommendation, second time watching)
x Crazy New Dinosaur Discoveries You Won't Believe Are True (2nd Recommendation, second time watching)
x The Megalodon, A Prehistoric Giant Shark That Ruled the Seven Seas (2nd time watching)
x 'Meganeura' - The Prehistoric Dragonfly With A Two-Foot Wingspan (2nd time watching)
During the last Ice Age I would definitely never have wanted to have encountered the American Lion or the Giant Short Faced Bear. 😮
"Hell hippo" sounds more threatening than "hell pig."
4:20 The Mascot Hall of Fame was named the #1 Pop Culture musuem for 2024 by USA Today.
I want to learn about smilodon aka saber tooth tiger
Fun fact: Hell Pig is a direct dissident of Rage Pig, Ethan Ralph.
Tasmanian tiger.
Hasta la vista ice age
As a rhino I’m offended…why are the bushes moving
seems we're still falling into that 'shrink wrap' bias - these animal's lateral skull protrusions sort of remind me a little of those on a hippopotamus skull/skeleton
Hell Pig, huh? I think that was a roommate of mine in college…
Domestic pigs can be scary enough if you ever farmed pigs sows with piglets are vicious. My husband raised them when he was in high school. They had to give the sow beer sow she wouldn't eat her babies when she farrowed.
You have to worry about the level of QC that lets a ‘genus/genius’ typo get through scripting, narration and production. Come on guys.
I'm thinking barbeque!
Can you talk about somewhat recently extinct animals we can see in photo and video, like the Thylacine?
i can only imagine the environmental destruction these hellpigs could cause compared to modern wild pigs and superpigs >n
You WOULD release this vid on a day when I had bacon for breakfast
That’s no ungulate, that’s my wife!
Piggy, piggy, who's got the piggy? Oink! Oink! Oink! 🐖🐗🐷
Idk, hell hippo is a pretty terrifying concept 😅
0:01 Nebraska governor Jim Pillen was a hog farmer...maybe he had nightmares of the Hell Pig? lol
i think this more like Tapir.
Person 1: "How did your first night together go? Eh?"
Person 2: "Stooooop. It was fine. I mean..."
Person 1: "What? Oooooh... the sex was that bad, huh?"
Person 2: "No! The opposite, actually. I just didn't expect them to go all Prehistoric Hell-pig right out of the gate!"
Yeeeeeeaaah!
Suggestion for a new video, the idea for the 1972 Kung Fu TV series was not stolen from Bruce Lee, as proven by Matthew Polly in his authoritative biography 'Bruce Lee: A Life.'
At this point even Wikipedia knows it, but the myth persists.
Wasn’t there a giant pig in one of the Carnacki stories ?
YEEESS THE CORRECT NARRATOR!!
HEY! I did not approve of a Weird History video about me!
❤
You should do a video on Andrewsarchus mongoliensis.
Metric normal system please
What did these animals eat?
Whatever the hell they wanted!
the extinct animal I wanna hear about is that narrator you guys just recently tried out. lol what happened there?
An immature comment section happened.
True people can be ugly man dont get me wrong i love this narrator cause he does other channels as well but no need to be mean to the other guy
...whatever happened there.
Bro, you did not 😂😂 ☠️
It’s “the guy” and people are still shitting themselves in the comment section
I always wondered where the Trump family came from.
While you descend from the moronadon
The more you know🌈
Yeah... Biden vs Trump again. Rough stuff. Talk about a rock meeting a hard place.
@@colinrivas3750 🤡 if this your takeaway then sad for your mother who pays your rent or let’s you sleep in her basement. Incel little boys ate a lost cause.
Sort of like a buffalo.?
I enjoy all of your episodes. I would love for you to explore the origins of hell. I think the origins given are BS. My God is not without mercy.
I’m starting to think the new guy got the message haven’t heard him in a while
It's because all of these voices are AI....
Lol no the narrators aren't.@@Synster73
@@Synster73 naw narrator is a real man bro
That's a lot of pork.
When life gives you hell pigs you make bacon! Lots of bacon!
Horses aren't ruminants. Jeez. Do your research!
I prefer the name Hogzilla.
No love for the miniture prehistoric hell pigs? SMH
They weren't tangling with any horses in North America. They didn't appear until the Spanish brought them in the 16th Century.
The Spanish reintroduced horses to North America!😂
Mmmmmm..... Bacon!! Lots and lots of bacon. 🤣🥓
Elden ring anyone???
How is it that this channel has 4.5 million subscribers, but doesn't have the views avg 50 thousand once in a while just under 200,000. Now that s weird and doesn't add up. Did this channel buy subs
"Giant Prehistoric Hell Pig" is a wonderful attention grabber.
It sort of looks like giant warthog.

Terrifying...Im now off to watch 'Twins'... That's ADHD for you.
