    Alternate title: 14 Thicc beasts roam earth long ago
  • I love watching and learning about dinosaurs, apex predators and giant anything. Awesome documentary.
  • I had never heard of the Giant Sea Scorpions until I saw Chased by Sea Monsters with Nigel Marvin where Nigel traveled back and forth through time exploring the 7 deadliest oceans of Prehistory and aside from the Sea Scorpions and the Trilobites it was where I also first heard of the Giant Orthocones a species of ancient squid that lived and swam in Earth's oceans over 400 million years ago.
  • My husband whenever he was an escalator operator worked at the phosphate mine in NC where we live. He dug up a prehistoric whale that was over 5million years old. Iโ€™ve got one of the vertebrae from the end of the tail section the smallest of the vertebrae and itโ€™s as wide as a dinner plate around.

    The front arms of T-rex are basically latches that allow them to use their upper body's gravity to pull dinosaurs down. Essentially just hooks on their chest more so than arms. Showing off how much they could lift in the other direction (bicep curl) is like marveling at the strength of crocodiles opening their jaws instead of being amazed how how hard they can snap.

    Love your material but this is so chopped up I canโ€™t count the times I thought โ€œwhat animal are they talking about now?โ€
  • @JC-tq8gm
    Biggest thing we know of that ever lived, still lives today: the blue whale. Worth saving I think...
  • And to think they tried to jip the poor farmer who discovered it on his land. They legit tried to tell the man, itโ€™s now theirs and we donโ€™t have to give you anything.

    With four huge flippers they must've had amazing agility for a large animal

    Excellent! Loved this presentation. Thank you for making this video.
  • Bet that Giant Sea Scorpion ,would get good with some butter !๐Ÿค ๐Ÿฆ‚๐Ÿฆ‚๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿ‘
  • @maeve4686
    I still think the Canadian fossil found by the equipment operator , Shawn Funk, should have been named after him. The Funkosaurus !!!!! ( It's called a nodosaur. ) Give me a beat, daddy-o !
  • Man it would be so amazing to see a dinosaur. A T-Rex would take out a hippo like an afternoon snack. That's scary.
  • Why do things like the bones of Giants " disappear " when given to the Smithsonian ???
  • @SiiriCressey
    Penguins do not move like birds -- they are birds.
  • Fabulous! So gkad I clicked on this. Nature can be truly mind-blowing.

    @Smithsonian....you do realize right that the T Rex and triceratops didn't even live in same era and couldn't have ever encountered one another. It's a TV myth they did...they are millions of years apart
