It hadĀ a rib cage 2ft wide, allowing it to eat whole crocodiles, and surrounding the ribcage were muscles so powerful thatĀ it could crush a rhino.Ā Titanoboa was so big it couldnā€™t even spend long amounts of time on land, because the force of gravity acting on it would cause it to suffocate under its own weight. Iā€™m so glad they arenā€™t around omg me too. Iā€™m scared enough of 26 ft long anacondas. Iā€™m so happy Megalodons, those giant sharks, arenā€™t alive either Praise natural selection I remember watching Walking with Beasts or something similar, or some British tv show about evolution The subject was something like a 12 foot long water scorpion I was so startled by its sudden appearance and narration that I yelped: ā€œ12 fucking feet?!?! Ā Iā€™m fucking glad itā€™s extinct!ā€Ā  Dude, prehistory was home to some fuckingĀ TERRIFYINGĀ creatures. For some reason, everything back then was enormous and scary. Extinction doesnā€™t always have to be a bad thing! And Poppy, what you saw was an arthropod known asĀ Pterygotus (it was actually featured in Walking With Monsters). Not only was it as big (or maybe even bigger) than your average human, it had a stinger the size of a lightbulb. REALLY glad that bugger isnā€™t around anymore. Also, Megalodon deserves to be mention again, because just hearing its name makes me want to never be submerged in water ever again. GOD, I HATE THIS POST. HOW DO WE EVEN KNOW THAT SHIT ISNā€™T STILL AROUND? LURKING? EVOLVING? WE DONā€™T. WE DONā€™T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SHIT DOWN THERE. THE OCEAN IS A PRIMEVAL HELLSCAPE NIGHTMARE AND WE ALL JUST DIP OUR STUPID FRAGILE UNPROTECTED FETUS BODIES AROUND THE EDGES OF IT LIKE THATā€™S NORMAL. FUCK THE OCEAN. this is so relevant to my interestsĀ  It wasnā€™t just the predators. North Carolina was once home to giant ground slothsā€¦ THAT IS A GODDAMNED LEAF-EATING SLOTH. Weā€™ve got a skeleton of one of these fuckers at the museum downtown, and man, just being NEAR it is unsettling. DONā€™T FORGET PREHISTORIC WHALES, SOME OF THOSE FUCKERS WERE TERRIFYING AMBULOCETUSĀ WAS AMPHIBIOUS AND PRETTY BADASS BASILOSAURUS WAS THIS GIANT REPTILIAN CETACEAN THAT PROBABLY SWAM LIKE A DUMB EEL BECAUSE OF ITS TINY FLUKES BUT THIS FUCKER WAS 60 FEET LONG AND AT THE TOP OF THE MARINE FOOD CHAIN AND THEN THEREā€™S MY FAVORITE,Ā ZYGOPHYSETER,Ā WHICH WAS THIS HUGE EARLY SPERM WHALE THAT ATE SHARKS AND OTHER WHALES IT WAS NOTHING BUT TEETH The reason why the animals in the prehistoric times were so big was because there was much more oxygen in the atmosphere if I recall correctly. Because there was so much oxygen and so few carbon gasses, life on earth was able to grow to terrifying lengths and heights, donā€™t forget how giant the bugs were. I have never seen so much prime nope in a single post *Goes on Tumblr at 5am to help me go back to sleep for a bit longer* *Never sleeps again* Dammit I was born to late for all the fun
