Top 10 TERRIFYING ANIMALS That Lived Alongside PREHISTORIC MAN

Our species, Homo sapiens, have only been around for about as long as a blink of an eye in terms of Earth’s history. It’s believed that the Earth formed over 4.6 billion years ago, and the first humans evolved about 200,000 years ago in Africa.

@Jamie K Yes a lot of it is absolutely speculation and has nothing to do with my lifetime. The vast amount of the information that is presented about ancient humanoids and extinct animals is based on just a few bone fragments. Take the Denisovans as an example. There are videos, books and articles talking about how they lived and interacted with the world and it was all based on a tooth and a jawbone fragment. You can go to any science channel and watch detailed videos giving descriptions of the weather on exo planets and it's all based on a distant glimmer of light. As I said speculation.

I also find definitive affirmations on the biology of smilodon to be a bit of a stretch. Using language like smilodon hunted this way and that way, as if they had been observed is not honest; it is far better to present as: from their body features that can be reconstituted and their environment, we can assume that they used such method on such type of prey, etc...

[@dpeasehead]

If one studies modern predator and prey scenarios, then the most dangerous activities that humans were involved in were was probably foraging while spread out, going to a water hole, fishing, or crossing a body of water with lots of cover nearby. A group of humans acting as a team in open country could probably deter most large predators even when they were in packs by presenting a small group of spearpoints to each attack. Being caught alone was probably avoided as much as possible.

I always found it interesting that Scimitar/Sabre-tooth cats evolved and died out, multiple times. A species of cat would evolve large teeth, becoming specialist hunters that couldn't adapt when the environment changed. Convergent evolution repeating itself in different time periods.

no they mos likely werent P. LEO Atrox most likely just P. Atrox

KaprosuchusDragon SverreGidske can we establish that panthers arnt even a separate species, it is a pigment mutation that occurs within the Panthera genus

yea thats why i said panthers arent even a real species
