Top 10 Prehistoric Creatures That Make Jurassic Park Look Like A Petting Zoo

Sometimes we have to sit back and just trust nature. What I mean is that nature knows exactly what creatures can live together in any one given environment. Nature just has a way of sorting these things out. For example, nature knows that the Tyrannosaurus Rex simply cannot co-exist with the Homo Sapien, so much so that millions upon millions of years separate the two. But why is this? Not only will it throw our current eco-system in flux, but it’s fair to say that a good chunk of humanity will be rendered food to the rampaging monsters. So may I present the ten animals that would wreck havoc upon humanity if they were still alive.

[@krioswordsmith1017]

They were very close on size. It's up to some debate which one was the biggest.

[@Andrey.Ivanov]

Quetzalcoatlus was taller but Hatzegopteryx was more robust in build, thought they have around the same estimates for the wingspan. Also there is another azhdarchid - Arambourgiania which may have been a bit taller and with a bit bigger wingspan then Quetz and Hatz but was probably lighter

You said these animals make Jurassic park look like a petting zoo, but number 7 (spinosaurus) was in Jurassic park 3 and allosaurus and acrocanthosaurus were higher on the list despite being much smaller than mapusaurus, giganotosaurus and spinosaurus which were also much more impressive. And no acrocanthosaurus didn't use its ridged back to regulate temperature as it was warm blooded.

[@IronMaiden1164]

They even use a picture from Jurrasic Park

[@rosekiller123]

[@mrnostalgialover1275]

Exactly. I understand that The spinosaur wasn’t in an actual park and was an “accident” but it was still in Jurassic park nevertheless.

[@ShadeQuinnell]

Actually, It has been theroizied that the sail on Spinosaurs' back was used for fishing. it would stand in the water with the sail casting shadow and would snap up the fish who were attracted to the shade. There are birds who use a similar tactic

[@greenman5555]

Allosaurus - my favorite dinosaur.

[@EclecticPkm]

Really fun video, the paleontologist kid in me loved it

[@MisterTee]

I like how you made the video saying 'Dinosaurs' and included reptiles and mammals (remember that dinosaurs weren't reptiles) then went called the video 'prehistoric creatures' hoping nobody would notice.

[@richardjones4259]

This one is on my top ten toptenz list

[@stracansamuel9048]

+TopTenz komodo dragons are not venomous its bacteria they have in thier mouths from eating rotting flesh....... Cmon Simon your meant to be a pro lol

[@mrnickbig1]

You are quite wrong, they, like other monitors, ARE VENOMOUS, in addition to highly septic.

[@alucard2789]

Actually this is currently a topic of debate among biologists. Back in 2009 MRI scans on the skull of a Komodo Dragon revealed two glands located in the lower jaw. Upon Closer examination of these glands researchers found that they produced several toxins.

[@mrnickbig1]

And, the toxins were identical to several produced by venomous snakes. There really is no more debate, especially since genetics shows a very close relationship between monitors and snakes.

[@eruditootidure2611]

Titanoboa were snakes, Entelodon were porcines, Megalania were lizards, and Hatzegopteryx were flying reptiles, i.e.none of them were dinosaurs. Also, Spinosaurus most likely lived a heavily aquatic lifestyle, given the stubby hind legs we now know they possessed, and their Spines were likely a double-hump with a dip in the middle, rather than an arched sail. Also, megalania died out around 50,000 BCE, meaning they lived at the same time as humans, and likely encountered early Australians; they may have even coexisted with humans for as long as 30,000 years, if the earliest estimates for australian colonisation are accurate.

[@RandomGuy-hd7xy]

Um the spino = dino the allo = Dino I can go all day you know.

[@coolpatrickandryan]

How come a lot of the animals on this list aren't dinosaurs?

[@chasewaldschmidt494]

Why would they be.

[@MisterTee]

+Chase Waldschmidt because he says dinosaur in his intro....he likely renamed the video when he realized his error

[@Vallarok117]

Because they ( like most ) cater to people who probably don't recognize the difference between a prehistoric reptile, and a dinosaur, as well as people who refuse to understand that dinosaurs are birds; or more aptly that birds are dinosaurs.

[@nosuchthing8]

It's a non dinosaur list

[@eric592001]

to everyone saying spino is quadrapedal, remember we have very little skeletal remains of the animal itself. For all we know the pelvis could have been from a juvenile, if anyone has info to contradict that, please leave a link stating it belonged to a adult skeleton. That being said, for all we know the spinosaurus could reach even longer lengths. So until we have a FULL/Partially complete fossil, don't go saying stuff unless it's for certain

[@AramiGGs27]

We still don't know if the Spinosaururs was a quadrupial or a theropod. It might've been shorter than the T-rex. It's still not clear how it really looked.

[@RandomGuy-hd7xy]

They have found info go and search.

[@superzilla784]

These creatures make Jurassic Park look like a petting zoo... yet more than half of them are already in Jurassic World: The Game. Lol

[@dominicehrnreiter3492]

I like how he said that Komodo dragons are venomous even tho that isn't entirely true because if you are venomous that means you bit something and directly inject the venom in the victim but, the komodo dragon has glands in their throat that make it harder to clot the theoretical blood that would be pouring out of said victim, so that just means if you get bit you will die a slow painful death

[@keniimori4632]

How fitting. you use prehistoric units like pound and feet in a video about prehistoric creatures. The modern metric system at least added in the background would be a nice bonus though.

[@Cory_Dora]

I grew up in the 70’s and my dinos dragged their tails and stood upright like Godzilla. Most had no feathers, and TRex was the baddest dude on the block. Since then, everything I’ve learned about dinos has been turned on its head. There is even debate on whether TRex was a predator or a scavenger.

[@polishedxgamergta5402]

trex is the heaviest land predator at 9 tons and trex was a predator and a scavenger

[@randallpetroelje3913]

Dear Simon; I have loved your show and teaching/narration. There’s only one small flaw. I’ve had to learn the hard way. Whenever one says that “this is the biggest, or the grandaddy of dinosaurs ( or any other species that are extinct)” ; we have yet to explore snd more species to be found. Thanks, My English teacher would kill me if she read this.😂🤣😆

[@yanuchiuchiha2210]

t-rex: i gonna eat all! titanoboa: food *t-red dies cuz it's ribs were crushed*

[@V-V-Rune]

Y'know what the worst part is about studying fossils? Knowing you'll never truly understand the creatures they belonged to. If we could actually see a real life walking, eating, hungry Spinosaurus, everyone would finally agree. But nah, instead we gotta debate until we find more fossils or just until one argument becomes more accepted than the other. It sucks, too. Spinosaurus and Allosaurus are my favourite prehistoric beasts.

[@freshjive818]

Megalania died out and lived along side the indigenous people of Australia for about 20,000 years before it went extinct, most likely due to human intervention much like most other megafauna of that time in Australia that died out about 40,000 years ago. humans are estimated to have arrived on Australia about 50,000 to 70,000 years ago

[@JCRev]

Why are Mapusaurus and Giganotosaurus both in this list? They are basically the same animal! The only difference is that Mapusaurus was a bit smaller, and hunted in small groups

[@DeathandTerror]

Hi guys :) I recently started my own channel and would love some constructive criticism! What type of mic do you recommend and are popfilters even necessary?

[@TheDeinonychus]

Using the out-dated restoration of Spinosaurus. We now know it wasn't as tall as we previously thought, since we only recently found the actual hind legs. It was still longer and heavier, but not as tall as Tyrannosaurus.

[@RandomGuy-hd7xy]

Not heavier but longer.

[@JCRev]

You can't compare Tyrannosaurus to Allosaurus - They were completely differently evolved, lived in different times in different habitats, and lived is completely different ways. That's like comparing a Monitor Lizard to a Crocodilian: they are too different

[@maximaldinotrap]

You are better off comparing Giganotosaurus to Allosaurus lol.

that spine like a sail on the spinosaurus was probably for when it was swimming like the dorsal fin of a fish...functional use....stabilize the animal from rolling, help in turning or even propulsion...as it did eat fish so was probably a lot of swimming

Titanis sounds like it would have made fine domesticated Chocobos if they didn't go extinct.

[@dfsfggfaghsdfg]

I’m in conflict because tier zoo did an episode on dinosaurs and the spinosaurus landed in D tier mainly because it spent more time hunting fish rather than hunt on land. And it would pretty much get wrecked by many land creatures at the time and wasn’t even a great swimmer. So what I’m saying is a threat to humans? Yeah but other dinosaurs? I don’t think so
