- 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.
Where are the freaking dragons man
Em fantasy creatures? Just get a different vid to watch with the dragons you wanted to see

They are still alive man. Only irl dragons are so big that that they are actually mountain ranges and slumber until the end times.
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.
That's with pretty much most fish.
Yeah, nearly every predatory fish gulps in smaller prey, just like a grouper.
If you look closely, it is sucking the creature out of the shell.
@@amieleblanc1803 I saw that. I'm no idiot.
@@TheThrivingTherapsid Never said you were. Just thought you might have missed it. Cheers
Nothing is scarier than the modern day Karen
Only to a spineless beta.
Awww I think I made it angry. Quick! Somebody feed it some Panera bread. That may calm it's urges for now.
@@fresnoniiji 😆😆😆😆😆
If we understood the length of time that was involved of ancient animals it may make better sense to our senses.
That's what you get when AI makes videos
100,000,000,000 years before dinosaurs it tells you twice when the video starts
I love the dunkleosteus and their guillotine mouths. They are one of my favorite ancient animals.
Ditto. Glad it's not just me
Me too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Same. I just wish ARK devs knew about its speed...
I like them also. If you've ever played ark, you can ride them. Lol
@@MrNeedshelpedu that is so freaking cool!
I love how they added two of my most favorite childhood memories: Walking with Beasts and ARK Survival😂
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.
Crazy how much of that was even possible without humans being the problem, or how the CLIMATE CHANGEd just naturally while no dinosaurs were driving gasoline powered vehicles or drilling for oil.
Its normal like day and night
Earth can't wait
I had a dream, it was year 4000 and saw in my dream that weren’t any humans on earth but only cyborgs & spaceships everywhere just fighting each other.
I doubt it. Humans will be like cockroaches. Clinging to life by any means.
The Bloop ws the scariest of all. And some say The Bloop still exists!
Always fascinating. We were not there. It’s amazing how paleontologists and other scientists using only fossil remains, many times incomplete, can explain how an extinct species lived, ate and otherwise survived during their time on our planet.
Paleontologists have good fantasy. This is amazing. Having only sculls they imagine whole body and presents their imagination as truth. It reminds me so called Nebraska man.😂
It’s called speculation
Of course they don’t really know
@@ingus5552Oh wow, thats a lot of talk and speculation right there, please enlighten us with your amazing knowledge that you know that paleontologists and scientists don't.
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
I was having visions of this stuff days before coming across this video. The great continent and everything.
Evolution went from being strong to weak. It’s like Pokemon from their last form to their first form.
That's very incorrect.
@@jasminecollins897 how?
@@DCmartian01 that's fundamentally not how evolution works. It literally cannot work that way. Just because animals look less impressive to you in their current forms doesn't mean they're weak. They're well adapted for the current environment, and constantly getting better adapted for it. A very large animal is more vulnerable to environmental change of all kinds. That's why they've mostly died out. Smaller animals are able to be more agile and adaptable. They can reproduce more quickly, move more quickly to evade predators, and they won't starve as easily if food is unavailable.
One of the strongest and most adaptable species on the planet is the norway rat. Just because it doesn't look cool to you does not mean it's not absolutely winning in evolutionary terms. You're just looking at nature through the lense of a literal cartoon.
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.
Ah, fairly certain that was an Offyourcockus.
He never finds anything except an occasional piranha
@@Dusk.EighthLegion i think it was just a large foreskinsnapper

I always loved watching these videos in junior high and high school in the mid 90s along with the planetarium always fun to listen to these folks even if alot of its theory
How did the scientists figure out these animal behaviors from a few fossilized bones?
yes..im wondering too
I know right
Google it 💀muscle structure, space for how much muscle mass was there (if your not a combat fighter your muscle won’t be developed like an electricians it’s the same with forensic science could tell what you did for a living up to a point based on muscles, teeth, fingernails etc) scars on bones from other teeth etc the internet is a wild thing more than a social medias you should use it 😂
The narrator does give the disclaimer that this is all just a hypothesis but yes I always wondered that but then used my rational thinking and figured out they used time travel. It also helped that my future self came and answered plenty of questions
Comparisons to modern animal physiology and behavior.
Imagine a spider the size of a bus
If there was a cute lil spider the size of a bus. It probably would not even bother trying to turn the humans insides into a yummie stew..

Didn't happen, mate.
@@Yomam_Sophat yer it did come over I'll show ya where to find 'em. You can tell the four other people there that saw it too. lol didnt happen go f yourself mate
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!
Also there's one at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Impressive.
I do most certainly love 💕 all of the animals/fish that lived during all of the periods of the earth 🌍, and I do wish that I could have lived when they lived 😮
It's not uncommon with cannibalism in the sea. The common fish known as Pike is also a cannibal.
What if Dunkleosteus actually had fleshy lips? We tend to perceive fossils as face values. From the skeletons alone, Hippos are so goddamn scary. Beefy looking build, terrifying teeth...
It'd be interesting if the giant terrifying fish actually had lips... Imagine the horror.
People from North Sentinel Islands dont know what a dinosaur is
Have to say I had no idea. Makes me wonder. During evolution everything gets smaller. How small will lifeforms be in 100 million years and what odd stuff will they discover about us?
Less resources. When food in particular, is less available a smaller size allows one to make use of what is available. And another thought. Being small may let one hide easier. Just thinking.
Basically. What happens is during extinction events.(rule of thumb) Most animals that are over a 100 pounds will die off and only the smaller relatives carry on.
The Meek quite literally inherit the earth.
Well it's no wonder why we didn't live at that time. We would have been essentially chicken McNuggets to these beasts.
think about puffer fish where you thought they were just as big as your livingroom but then they didn't puffed up yet 🤪😂
Dunkleosteus AKA The Giant Aquatic Bolt Cutter creature
The Cambrian Explosion was fascinating, have you done a video on that?
There should be a first person survival game like Subnautica but where the protagonist accidentally goes back to the Triassic era.
FarCry Primal is close...lol
Great video, thanks.
The fact is is that none of this is fact .its all a guess . And a decietful guess to undermined God
@@richardcoble9498 bible speaks of large creatures and "leviathans" that once roamed the earth and seas though😅
kuddos to the cameramen
How did he get so close to them
I think it probably used an electric currant to stun it's victim's with that saw like protrusion, or even swished it about in the silt to find food
Basically Andrewsarkus was a gigantic predatory *sheep* the size of the largest species of *horse* ever to exist; it was, simply put, a carnivorous lamb.
Would that make it a literal wolf in sheep's clothing? A real life version of the "Beware of false prophets" tale.
@@och70 No, more like a sheep in wolf's clothing to be exact, but one that'd *hunt* the wolves.
I think it looks like a GIANT modern-day hyena!
@@janicecole2722 Notice the feet: those're hooves, as in *sheep hooves* on Andrewsarkus; that is the giveaway: it is a carnivorous sheep.
@@janicecole2722 Then look at its *feet*, those give away its true family line: it is a carnivorous sheep.
A video about the Licalotapus would be a sight to behold.
if it was for real , how does anyone know what anything looked like millions of years ago even before the dinosaurs?
@@freetheworld12very true. I heard not long ago that a lot more prehistoric creatures had feathers than archeologists once thought so just imagining the intense & bright color variations that could have been on some of these beast is mind blowing but I was being silly with the "Lic-alot-a-pus", a lesbian dinosaur 😁
Fantastic video
dunkleosteus were great for farming oil nodes in the sea, argentavis and a good saddle ftw.
Ok immediately I had to pause and rewind on that saw toothed shark turtle clam monster and I hope rest of video is about that creature.
We need a god dam fucking time machine to study them personally
We need to further study more simple creatures first.
Real bro. ARK SURVIVAL and Jurassic Park irl. Where my platform saddle
@R3DWOLFY96 no we don't need a time machine we don't need to mess up the past like we've messed up the present and Future we've done enough damage we don't need to do more especially when it's connected to us if we were to make a time machine we'd most definitely ruin the past it would affect the future greatly
They’d use the Time Machine for evil purposes as we all know
The P in pterodactyl and pterosaur are silent, there I said it! That was driving me nuts.
What is more ridiculous, words with letters that are not to be pronounced or pronouncing a word exactly like it is spelled? Do you also get irritated if people drive on a parkway or park in a driveway?
@@michaelcrispin1879 it's called English, the pronunciation is part of the language. do I pronounce your name mi-ch-ay-el or mike-al?
Simply put, all languages have rules. "Everybody does it" is no defense for bad grammar. Our education system is woefully failing our young, though many older people who should know better do it too. It isn't rocket science, we are (at least used to be) taught this by third grade.
@lancerevell5979 absolutely! In a time where everyone literally has access to a small computer that can spell check with a 2 minute search, many are too lazy to even do that let alone learn from the mistake when corrected.
thenwhy the f if P there? tell your goverment to remove it
The serrations on the small doriospus were possibly a defense mechanism in the event a larger predator tried to swallow it. It also could have been poisonous.
This channel always seems to be right on point, despite leaving that one species, who knew with all of the money, pouring into “endangered species campaigns,” that there out there somewhere, “living fossils” still exist!
#KudosTsuki
. Doriaspis, Like an alligator, the fins probably had multiple uses. Steering, digging, maybe even crawling on land.
One must take into consideration that 99.9 percent of animals that die are not fossilized.
In addition to their pseudoteeth (a serrated lining of the mouth, not embryonically or histologically equivalent structures), the tiny beady eyes of Dunkleosteus spp. contribute in giving them a truly terrifying head. They are so disproportionately small they accentuate their alien physiognomy.
The age of the vertebrates were off for a great start. RIP invertebrates as apex predators.
Really interesting, but as I watch I wonder how do they know any of this? They have no skeletons… nothing. What are the sources of this info?
I wonder if the Doryaspis used the spikes on its side fins to help it bury its self in the sand on the floor. Maybe it moved them to cover itself as a way of hiding or how it slept.
But my real idea is the spikes on its fins were a way to try to scare predators away. Like a stegosaurus has the spikes down its back type of thing.
I'd say anything during the era when there were giant insects running around are more terrifying than the dinosaurs
The dragons where the competitors that keeps many birds from wanting to fly
13:45 i think its a bottom dweller. The serated protrusion on its face and fins would be scraping up the sandy ocean floor to feed on other small fish and crustaceans. The protruding spikes on the back would be for protection from attack from above?
Not lizards. They shared a common ancestor.
Life of an argentavis seems pretty chilled
Me an ARK player:
Is the first one a fricking Ferrox in monster form?
YES! Argentavis!
What’s the avain beside the Arggy? Which map is it in??? I never seen that bird in Ark before!!!
@@learnfrom3128 Do you mean the Snow Owl from Extinction? O.o Those are the only birdy birds!
It's amazing how much we don't know. About our earlier ancestors.
Maybe the Doryaspis moved like a Lung fish?
Maybe their tasks were bent downwards so they could dig up dirt and mud to cool off in the hot summers. Find water and maybe with the upper tusks can use it kind of to tenderize they're meal so they could eat it easier?
At around 16:40 it says the Mosasauru's main pray was sea turtles, but how do we know this? The shells of the sea turtles would be more evident than the soft bodies of octopuses and other cephalopods. And the beaks of a cephalopods would probably pass through the animal more easily than the shells of a tortus. I also now wonder what cephalopods might have existed back then, it would be very difficult to find evidence of cephalopods or jellys (or similar) from that time period.
Imagine being teleported back to the devonian and taking a swim in this sea... Its practically like visiting another planet. Everything is different.
In aircraft, forward swept wings create an "unstable" aerodynamic situation. Which makes controlled stable movement more difficult and less energy efficient, but also makes the vehicle more agile and responsive.
Hydro and aero dynamics share many principles. If the same applies so water, then perhaps this fish evolved forward swept fins to better evade predators or better bring its "spear" to bear.
The energy cost of less efficient hydrodynamics also implies a food rich environment. (Given that efficiency is a major component in most creatures.)
why compare dunkleosteus biteforce to a polar bear and not a great white or at least a saltie (strongest bite force in the animal kingdom)
seems like a really random comparison
Maybe the doriospus spike in the middle was used as a weapon to ward off predators
So we have a Relicanth, a Dodo Bird and an ancient Vulture.
Crocodiles have the most powerful bite of any animal alive recorded, it would've been more impressive to talk about ancient Crocodilians
These creatures resemble animals around right now because there are forms that are manifesting on Earth in the form of these species. E.g. the vulture form, elephant form, shark form, etc.
13:49 Based on what I see, I would guess it was a creature that live on the bottom of the sea floor. Since very little about the life of creatures during this time period is known, it is possible the spike was used for an undiscovered animal that it feed on (Perhaps for animals with shells?). Since it was smallish, I doubt it was a major terror of the seas.
The lack of good parenting and at home education of kids simply amazes me. I had a 10 or 11 year old boy next door who had no idea of what a mammoth or mastodon was. I was all over that when I was 7 or probably before that. The next time I was at my MD's office a science magazine in the waiting room had a rather detailed article on mammoths. I asked for and received the magazine explaining it was for a neighbor's kid. How pitiful can it get?
Knowing what a Mammoth is, is useless information.
@@johnyewtube2286 I believe scratching a curiosity itch is a good thing. Not being curious is a scary thought.
thank you
Would like to know the expected life span of these dinosaurs. From birth to natural death besides being naturally eaten.
Seven words that make algorithms love You.
Doriospus, the snout resembles a sword fish, it might be used for defence from prediters and maybe even to cut down plant life in the seas, the protrusions on the fins may have been used in the same manner, from the small size of this creature it may have had a diet of plankton and maybe even shellfish, which could also be the reason for its protrusions, for example ammonites shells were tough and barnacles stick to things, meaning that it may have needed to break into the shells to get to its food
Not saying that's what it is, just taking what I know about current life and using that knowledge to make an educated guess
I want these fish in my aquarium !
That fish was a corral eater not a predator.
I imagine Doryaspis as something like the Tick of the seas, piercing larger animals with their rostrum and staying put with those serrated fins
That would make sense.
The ancestors of the modern elephants had short trunks. The lower shovel shaped jaw could also have been used to scoop up water to drink.
5:30 Ammonites not amenities. LOL
Yo this video is chock full of horrid pronunciation - i mean - Dunk-lee-osteus? Come on. hahaha
6:21 'He aint heavyy, he's mah brotherrrrrrrr'
I wonder if scientists thought of hot lava areas or places where it might be almost frozen and in very deep waters due to the smooth bottom and might have acted like a stingray
0.28 dinosaurs where dinosaurs not lizards
22:06 Are you sure this bird abandoned flying? There is no logic with that statement.
It would make more sense to say this bird did not develop the ability to fly.
Exist one thing wrong with this video, that is the fact that all the birds are dinosaurs, it's means that putting birds on this list was a mistake.
Maybe the birds decided they didn't need to fly in order to catch their food. So in order to conserve energy. They decided to lose their flying wings Plus if they had big old wings with their legs trying to run maybe it would throw them off balance and alert the prey to them. So their wings shrunk and their legs got stronger eventually having it so they lose the ability of flight but have great running abilities? So I commented that about 20 minutes in when I first started hearing about the birds and I was right lol
Terror Birds like Phorosrochos were basically 10ft tall roadrunners; miniature tyrannosaurs in their behavior and anatomy that'd been upgraded to live on smaller-sized game.
Those birds aren’t as scary when on a big spit with a hot sauce rub with a bit of salt. Feed the whole village. Thank you.
@@r.d.sandman6474 In theory; yet those animals would be deadly game.
They glide on Ark with those small wings
@@anthonyjones9868 Well, seeing as "Ark" is a fantasy science game, it is meaningless.
They will certainly return, millions of years from now, when seriemas evolve into new species!!!
Another possible evolutionary example of the large flightless birds could also be the roadrunners of the American Southwest. I believe they hunt lizards and small snakes, meat sources for their food. Sound familiar? Just a thought.
It sticks it's tongue out which looks like a chain saw... would make an interesting pet.
0:25 it took me 20 years of my life to realize dinosaurs is something some people do not believe in, I had no clue and can’t process why. Guess they take “how do I believe you if I’ve never seen one” to the next level😂
12:53
I surmise that the body protrusions and especially the serrations thereon may have been a defense mechanism to prevent larger predators from swallowing doryaspis.
What if the dinosaurs were only 600k years ago?
Lmao @00:58 that’s the werewolf from Bad Moon… solid lower-budget flick. Stars the kid from the 90’s Dennis the Menace. Great animatronics but terrible CGI transformation scene. Good jump scares. Definitely recommend it.
As a guy named Dennis I approve this message
Most peoples favorite dinosaurs arent even truly dinosaurs
"They fed on sharks...", let that sink in.
It is a likely scenario that it was indeed just the skull of a deformed specimen.
Pervatuarus lurks tiny dinosaurs to his caves and stomping then and eating them
5:47 there are structures in the background. Who built them I wonder?
Dunkleosteus was much smaller than depicted. Roughly three to four meters across.
Diuretic Jurassic pirozhok was all very fascinating times in history
Well I know that, before dinossaurs, there were giant insects. Glad I wasn't alive then. I hate those things.
Megalodons,Titanoe boa,And Unknown super Massive size Monsters or sea monsters just like apex predators
Interesting
Dun-kil-os-te-us to be phonetic.
The discover was named in hoonour of David Dunkle.
If these fish fed on each other, it must have made the reproduction process a bit of a challenge.
You forgot to mention Shaggoths or Lava Men.
This is why I love playing ark survival evolved
why no documentaries about the first fish with vertebrae that evolved into humans? i found only a handful of documentaries, and definitely not taught in school.
Greatest adventure and super
