The COOLEST Extinct Animals we Wish were still around Today!

One of prehistoric centenarians (310-250 million years ago) – Helicoprion – is a genus of extinct creatures with interesting akulopodobnyh jaw. Up to 4 m in length, but its closest living relatives now – Chimaera – may reach only 1.5 m in length. And sure they maybe isn't a thing you would want to see swiming around you, it is really cool either way!

He lived in the Ordovician period, 470-460 million years ago. This giant ancestor of modern squids and octopuses. The most characteristic feature of this mollusk was a huge cone-shaped shell and tentacles that he caught the fish and other marine life. It is believed that the size of its shell ranged from 6 to 12 meters.

Also called “terrible birds”, these prehistoric creatures are extinct genus of large birds of prey that were the largest species in South America during the Cenozoic, about 60 million years ago. Large flightless bird of prey that ever roamed the earth. Reach 3 meters in height, weighed half a ton before and presumably could run as fast as a cheetah. They look really cool in my opinion.

Gigantopithecus lived in the period from 9 million to 100 000 years ago in Asia today. It was the largest monkey species on Earth. It is believed that this being the height of 3 meters and weighing up to 540 kg hodilo on four legs like gorillas and chimpanzees, but some believe that they could walk on two legs like humans. Properties of their teeth and jaws suggest that these animals were able to chew coarse fibrous food, bumping and grinding into it.

Probably lived in all the seas of the Cambrian period. In the translation of his name means “abnormal shrimp”. This genus of marine animals, close relatives of arthropods. Scientists believe that it hunted solid-state marine life, including trilobites. They had unique eyes with 30,000 lenses – is that it was one of the most “advanced” eye in the history of the species.
