10. The Giant Swan
Cygnus falconeri, also known as the Maltese swan or giant swan, is an extremely large extinct swan species that lived during the Pleistocene period, around 125,000 years ago, when Malta and Sicily were connected by a land bridge. Researchers originally thought that it only lived in Malta, but in 2004, giant swan remains were discovered in Sicily.
9. Carbonemys
Discovered in northeastern Colombia’s Cerrejón Formation in 2005 and known by a single specimen, Carbonemys cofrinii is an extinct turtle that dwelled in South American swamps during the Paleocene Era, around 60 million years ago. The ancient turtle shared a habitat with the Titanoboa, you know, the one-ton prehistoric snake! It grew to the size of a small car, reaching up to 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighing as much as a ton.
8. Purussaurus
Purussaurus brasiliensis was a giant, caiman-like crocodilian that flourished primarily in northwestern South America (Pan-Amazonia) during the Middle to Late Miocene. It was around 41 feet (12.5 meters) long -- longer than a city bus -- and weighed around 9.3 tons (8.4 metric tons). The creature’s skull alone was up to five feet (1.4 meters) long, and it required a massive diet of up to 90 pounds (40.6 kg) of food daily.
7. Steller’s Sea Cow
Hydrodamalis gigas, or the Steller’s sea cow, was a marine mammal related to sirenians, which includes the modern-day dugong and manatee, as well as two other surviving species. Unlike today’s sirenians, which dwell in tropical waters, the extinct Steller’s sea cow lived in the frigid North Pacific Ocean, between Alaska and Russia.
6. Terror Birds
Once the velociraptor and T-Rex were wiped out 66 million years ago, the terror bird took over the world! Not really, but they were pretty scary, and were one of the most terrifying predators of what is now South America, and stayed that way until about 2 million years ago!
5. Anomalocaris
Five hundred million years ago during the Cambrian period, Anomalocaris, an apex predator resembling a strange combination of a shrimp, shark, and seahorse lived in the world’s oceans.
4. Elasmotherium
This Siberian Unicorn was an ice age giant, and lived at the same time as modern humans. Elasmotherium sibiricum, otherwise known as giant rhinoceros or the giant Siberian unicorn, is an extinct Eurasian rhino species that lived from 2.6 million years ago until about 39,000 years ago. It spent its days grazing the grasslands of modern-day Kazakhstan, Siberia, and southwestern Russia and Ukraine.
3. Arctotherium Angustidens
Also called the South American short-faced bear, it was the largest bear that ever existed. First described in 1880, it was one of five Arctotherium species, and was descended from ancestors that crossed the Panamanian land bridge to South America roughly three million years ago.
2. Great Auk
The Great Auk was a flightless bird that resembled a modern penguin, but at 30 inches (76.2 cm) tall, it was more scary than cute. It had disproportionately small wings measuring just 6 inches (15 cm) long, and a beak nearly as large as its head. This species, which was unrelated to penguins despite looking like one, bred off North Atlantic coasts on rocky islands.
1. Glyptodon
The glyptodon is an extinct prehistoric armadillo the size of a car, with a spiky, clubbed tail that was capable of causing extensive damage. It grew up to 10 feet (3 meters) long, weighed as much as a ton, and had an armored back made up of 1,000 or so tightly-fitted bony plates.

Hey everyone, how are you doing? What activity did you miss the most in the past weeks?
Uh- I think seeing my friends. wby?
Eating fried rice and chowmein
Wow I thought Terror Birds is not real since I played a survival game titled Ark: Survival Evolved😍.
Hanging out with my girlfriend 😢
@@Eric-kf9vx Same. I miss my girlfriend too. -_-
Nobody:
My brain when I close my eyes: “hi, it’s Katrina!”
*opens eyes in panic*
Amazing and interesting video! Wooh! I guess I learned something everyday after all. Katrina, I watched your videos on TV everyday.
these animals were very exciting. im glad you mentioned them. thanks katrina.
Amazing video been subscribed for 2 years and watch nearly every vid
Good one... Interesting 👍😀
Ty for the Shout-Out!!😍....
AHA!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about Katrina!!! I love these kinds of productions from you!!
Very good compilation and my favourites from this list and also most familiar with are the Arctotherium Angustidens, Carbonemys and Terror Birds. The ones that are especially my favourite are the Arctotherium Angustidens since I absolutely LOVE Bears!!!!!
The Carbonemys was interesting because of both its size and the fact that it had jaws strong enough to feed on crocodiles! And just like you mentioned, it was also kind of a rival prehistoric great to the mighty Titanoboa!
I'm also familiar with Purussaurus. As for T-Rex vs Purussaurus, it would have been a blockbuster match up but my favourite match ups would have to be T-Rex vs Titanoboa and T-Rex vs Deinosuchus!!
I loved this video so interesting I've been coming to this channel for a while now lobe all or the cool stuff I can learn about
I lowkey wanna see some of this tho it seems interesting
Yes
Well I’m not going outside or into the sea again😂

Why Carbonemys were fed by berries in Ark Survival Evolved. I thought they are herbivores😁?
RE JIE ark should change this in the next update lol it would change the game lol
RE JIE they didn’t do research on the Carbonemys they only have heard of it
here they have a raptor that has no feathers, quadrapedal spino an many other mistakes what did you expect?

Good videos.
Mannn she being saying these words like a pro! I get tongue tied just hearing her them.
This is awesome! Also im 8th
these r some nice facts/entermant
I love your channel
Steller's Sea Cow and Great Auk shouldn't be in this list. First of all, both of them went extinct because of humans, and second, neither of those creatures pose any threat to human beings. So there shouldn't be any reason for anyone to be glad neither of them are around anymore.
I love your videos
Quetzlacoatlus was a flying reptile that resembled a pterodactyl, but the catch? It was the size of a giraffe.
crocodiles: we are the best ambush predators we barely changed all these millions of years and we can snap animals from land into the water
carbonemys: hold my beer
purussaurus: *no you hold my beer*
I love the channel
Sarchosuchus and tarbosaurus
11:00 south american short haired bear?!😂
Hey and yes I was just thinking for you to put down just more Animals videos please
Love your videoo
That’s a cool video
This makes the tail of hogziloa seem plUsible
Cool🥰
I liked the video a lot
Yea. No.
My favourite extinct animal has got to be the Dire Wolf. 🥰
10. Giant Swan (Regular swans but bigger and can’t fly)
9. Carbonemys (Giant tortoise that shared habitats with Titanoboa)
8. Purussaurus (Giant crocodilian who can beat T-Rex in a battle)
7. Steller’s Sea Cow (Big cousin of the manatee made extinct by the locals)
6. Terror Bird (Flightless but deadly bird who is also Smilodon’s arch nemesis)
5. Anomalocaris (Is it a ray? A mutant shark? Nope, it’s a primitive shrimp)
4. Elasmotherium (This is probably where the unicorn myth came from)
3. South American Short Faced Bear (Southern relative of Arctodus simus)
2. Great Auk (It’s a giant penguin)
1. Glyptodon (Car-sized armadillo with a mace for a tail)
Our swans are aggressive and dangerous enough
Great
Whoa. Thanks for all the Information. You Rock ✌️🙏
Dugong, manatee, and two other species? No it’s dugong and manatees. The “two other species” are the Amazon manatee and the west African manatee. The one you showed is the West Indies manatee native to Florida and surrounding areas.
I like your videos
Awesome video!
Its almost my bday in May 13 im gonna be 10!!!! Pls make a cool mythical creature in my bday
By far my favourite megafauna is the diprotadon
That is intrastieng
41 foot 🐊??!!😨🏃🏃🏃
*I guess these animals were too big to fit into Noah's Ark*
Love the videos your awesome
by the way if you're talking about similarities between Tyrannosaurus feet and bird feet. There is a huge difference. Birds kneecaps are on the inside of their body Tyrannosaurus knees are on their legs outside their body! Tell me how Evolution takes knees from being on the outside to the inside of the body?
Number 8 is still around. If you don't believe me look at my sister in law's mother in law. Lol
Love the videos keep them coming.
