Have you ever seen a centipede bigger than a human? Have you ever seen giant snakes thicker than trees? Today I will take you to take a look at the five most terrifying creatures that have appeared on the ancient continent of Earth, especially the last one, which may not have become extinct yet.
No. 5: Giant Centipede
This is a terrifying creature with a body length of 2.5 meters and a very cruel nature. It lives in the Carboniferous Records 370 million years ago. Although it looks similar to modern centipedes, they are completely two different creatures. The giant centipede has at least 100 thin feet and can move at extremely fast speeds. When encountering danger, it will instantly stand up to intimidate and subdue its opponents. According to scientists' research, the reason why their size is so terrifying is most likely due to the high oxygen content in the Earth's atmosphere at that time, and such a huge body also made the giant centipede almost have any opponents at that time.
4th place: Horror Bird
It is also called Horror Bird , and is a predator who lives more than 60 million years ago and can stand at a height of up to three meters. Its running speed is extremely fast, and it can even reach 100 kilometers per hour. Although it cannot fly, its physical characteristics are very similar to those of the eagle. Its legs are hard and muscled, which can easily crush the bones of prey. With the sharp claws on its feet, it can give the enemy a fatal blow during hunting. It is a head predator in the new generation of the earth's food chain.
Third place: Spinosaurus
This is a fierce carnivorous theorth dinosaur with a body length of even up to 17 meters. It lives in Cretaceous about 100 million years ago. With its physical advantage, Spinosaurus can even tie with crocodile . After analyzing its teeth and head, scientists found that it was also a hydrophilic dinosaur, which often hunted in the diving area, and was complemented by the cooperation of thick hind limbs, and even in the water, it could burst out extremely fast attack speed, which made many creatures at that time frightened. However, in front of the ocean overlord Canglong, he is still not worth mentioning.
second place: Ancient Lizard
This is a giant that lived more than 1 million years ago. They did not leave any complete fossils of bones, so it is difficult to determine its size. According to scientists' estimates, the maximum length of the ancient giant lizard is about seven meters. At present, the recent fossils found date back to about 50,000 years ago. After a detailed comparison of the ancient giant lizards and the Komodo dragon head skull that still exists today, scientists found that they are very close to blood relationships, and the two have extremely similar predation habits. In the oral skeleton of the ancient giant lizard, archaeologists have found a structure similar to Komodoron. In earlier studies on Komodoron, people mistakenly thought they were using bacteria in their mouths to directly kill prey. However, as the research continues to deepen, it is discovered that Komodo dragon actually has the same poison gland as the ancient giant lizard. The venom secreted in its oral cavity can make prey wounds difficult to heal, and the blood flows continuously, which eventually leads to excessive blood loss and death. With such a crazy skill, they can even prey several times larger than their prey.
No. 1: Titanpyra
This is the largest snake that has appeared on the earth so far. It lived in the Paleozoic Epochal age 6, also known as the Ancient Anaconda. Most of them lurk in the tropical rainforests in northern South America. According to the analysis of the unearthed fossils, the giant beard has a larger body than a modern python, and its length can even reach 15 meters. When hunting, it will first find a chance to lurk in advance. When the prey appears, it will approach them at a lightning speed and instantly burst out with a powerful tangling force, which can even directly crush the bones. It will not enjoy the food with confidence until the prey has completely died. According to researchers, the Titanpython may be the largest terrestrial carnivore on Earth to survive after the dinosaur extinction of , and has dominated the rainforest for millions of years in the following history. Since the birth of human civilization, the largest snake species recorded in history is the Amazon giant anaconda, which can reach about seven meters in length, and the area they live in is where the Titan Python once lived.
Since there are many areas deep in the Amazon rainforest that humans have never set foot in, some people think that the Titan Python is likely to have not yet become extinct, but is hiding in the deep forest, breeding its own race in a low-key manner.
