twenty-five terrifying animals you're
glad are extinct
hey there YouTube don't try to prove me
wrong and say like you want these things
to be alive because let's be honest here
if these things were still alive today
we'd probably all be eaten extinction
has been a fact of life since long
before the dinosaurs took their first
steps across the planet a species can
die out for a variety of reasons from
human encroachment to changes in climate
it sings yes but it is a necessary part
of evolution there are plenty of
creatures that would have ensured
humanity would not have survived if they
were still around from giant scorpions
to a snake the size of a bus here are 25
terrifying animals your gladder extinct
again don't lie and say you want them
let's begin shall we
number 25 pleura Souris the largest
living croc on record measured 23 feet
for reference that's twice as long as
some cars so when we tell you that it
was tiny in comparison to the
prehistoric purussaurus
you can appreciate what that means this
animal grew to 42 feet long
it also snagged on other Crocs dinosaurs
and possibly the very first human
ancestors and it's a little too late
Placid for me
number 24 Beaumont Scorpius scorpions
they're creepy they're crawling and they
can be fatally dangerous to humans
depending on the species
Beaumont Scorpius was a terrifyingly
giant scorpion from the oxygen-rich
Visayan period at 3 feet long this bad
boy anything it wanted including smaller
scorpions and could have posted quite a
powerful sing we can definitely be glad
this bug got squashed long ago and can
only be seen in fallout nowadays number
23 Megalodon come on you know you had to
put this bad boy on here jaws ain't got
nothing on this oceanic giant Megalodon
was the largest predator to have ever
lived and measured 60 feet or more with
a maximum estimated weight of 60 tonnes
it used seven inch teeth to snack on
whales and even other sharks it's
believed by some people that this
ancient animal is still alive somewhere
at the bottom of the ocean I hope not I
mean I don't want to go into the ocean
and get snagged on that wouldn't be good
number twenty-two Dunkleosteus at 20 to
30 feet long and weighing up to four
tonnes uncle' osseous was nothing like
your childhood goldfish I mean unless
your goldfish was that long and had
hyper carnivorous jaws
and that's scary this carnivorous fish
docked our planet oceans millions of
years before the first dinosaurs eating
whatever it could fit inside its massive
jaws instead of teeth however this
monster ate a scissor sharp set a plate
with a bite force of around 8,000 pounds
per square inch that's the same as a
Tyrannosaurus Rex just a heads up number
21 rats
Zillah 3 million years ago everything
was Big Bird's her big bugs are big even
sloths were big but did you know that
the rats were big - with a nearly 2 foot
long skull and a body the size of a
bison this rodent was huge at a bite
force of of 950 pounds by the way that's
scary its teeth could also take three
times that stress suggesting that this
animal used those chompers for more than
just chewing like dying off your leg for
example yeah that's ink in number 20 Meg
Alania imagine you find yourself face to
face with a 200-pound 8 foot long Komodo
dragon its jaws open and dripping its
deadly poison ready to bite you now uh
imagine at 20 feet long and over a
thousand pounds and it becomes easy to
see what humanity can be glad that meg
Elena has since gone extinct even its
name means ancient giant butcher and
this ancient Australian animal was
certainly that number nineteen terror
bird ornithol via or the irrational fear
of birds is a very real phobia however I
think we can all agree that North
America's Tara birds were a truly
frightening add up to ten feet tall in
over half a ton this flightless bird was
a force to be reckoned with
with its razor-sharp beak and lake
strong enough to shed her bone we might
not exist if this horse eating ostrich
was still around number eighteen
titanoboa
thank the heavens there were about 58
million years separating us and the
largest known snake to have ever
slithered its way across the planet no
we're not talking about the basilisk
from Harry Potter or anything like that
this is what's native to South America
titanoboa grew up to over 40 feet long
and weighed in at just over a ton like
its modern-day relatives that
through constriction and was so big it
ain't crocodiles and could have easily
swallowed a man without batting an eye
