“Be careful, because there’s always someone out there that’s bigger and tougher.” This age old lesson on humility, passed down from fathers to sons, rings true for the animal kingdom as well. All the terrifying (and not so terrifying) animal species you can think of have bigger, badder, stronger, and faster relatives. As a matter of fact, we should count our lucky stars that some of these primal beasts are not walking/flying/crawling among us in 2018. Safe spaces be damned! Now, have you ever dreamed of waking up in a exotic environment surrounded by super-sized animals? Well, your dream is about to become a reality, and remember that truth is oftentimes stranger than fiction. Here is a top ten list of prehistoric animals and their modern counterparts. Many of us are familiar with the Great White Shark and the frightening aura associated with this apex predator of the world’s oceans. The image of its blood-red gums holding in place those sharp spearheaded teeth, will send a shiver through your bones. Now, what if I told you that it had a relative who many scientists regard as one of the largest and most powerful fish to have ever lived?
Megalodon(meaning ‘big tooth”) went extinct just 2.6 million years ago, which sounds like eons, but in the context of world history, it’s a fairly short window of time. According to fossil records, this fish could reach up to 60 ft in length and weigh in at an average of 35,000 lbs! Its diet consisted of small whales and had an estimated bite force of about 30,000 lbs! Comparatively, the “bite force” of the largest confirmed Great White is 4,095 lbs, and the average length and weight is 15 ft and 4,200 lbs respectively. Now that we’re on the subject, who wants to take a dip? For those like me, who detest insects, the idea of a giant dragonfly buzzing around my head is the stuff of nightmares. The Meganeura (meaning “large-veined”) had a wingspan of approximately two and a half feet(similar to that of an eagle)and lived around 300 million years ago.
