THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE GIANT CREATURES THAT EXISTED

I'm going to share with you some of the largest and most impressive animals that have ever lived on Earth. The Argentinosaurus was one of these creatures, and scientists believe it was one of the largest land animals in existence. It had a length of up to 100 feet and a weight of up to 100 tons. This giant leg bone was found by a farmer while tending his cattle, and this is how the first fossils of the Argentinosaurus were discovered.

Further excavations uncovered more bones, revealing a massive dinosaur that would have dwarfed most other animals of its time. The spinosaurus meaning spine lizard is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived around 112 97 million years ago in what is now North Africa.

It is believed to be one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to ever exist with a length of up to 60 feet and a weight of up to 23 tons the spinosaurus is known for its distinctive elongated sail-like structure on its back it was likely used for thermoregulation and also had long crocodile-like Jaws that were lined with sharp teeth. This allowed the creature to catch and eat large prey such as fish crocodiles and other dinosaurs. The first fossils of the spinosaurus were discovered in Egypt in 1912.

Sperm whale theater macrocephalus is a species of toothed whale that is the largest tooth predator on Earth it also has the largest brain of any animal species. It is found in oceans all over the world and can dive to depths of up to seven thousand feet in search of food and you can easily recognize them by their massive block-shaped heads which can measure up to one-third of their total body length. They have dark brown or grayish blue skin and a distinctive wrinkled appearance.

The Titanoboa is an extinct genus of a giant snake that lived approximately 60 to 58 million years ago. it is considered to be the largest known snake ever it could grow up to 42 feet and weighed around 2 500 pounds.

The first fossils of the Titanoboa were discovered in a coal mine in Colombia in 2004. This discovery meant a lot because it provided insights into the size and behavior of snakes during the paleocene era as well as the overall climate and ecosystem of the time.

The Blue whale balanoptera musculus is the largest animal on earth measuring up to 100 feet in length and weighing as much as 200 tons. These marine mammals are found in oceans all over the world and can live up to 90 years. Blue whales have a long streamlined body that is usually blue-gray in color with mottled patterns they have a small dorsal fin and two pectoral fins that are about one-third the length of their body. Blue whales feed on tiny shrimp-like creatures called Krill and they eat a lot. A single adult blue whale can eat up to eight thousand pounds of krill in a day.

The Leedsichthys thus is an extinct genus of large bony fish that live during the Jurassic period, approximately 165 to 155 million years ago it is believed to be one of the largest fish that have ever lived. Some estimates suggest that it could grow up to 50. 55 feet in length the first fossils of lead sickness were discovered in England in the 19th century and more recent discoveries have been made in other parts of Europe, South America and Africa. Despite its enormous size, the Leedsichthys was a filter feeder similar to modern day whale sharks and likely fed on Plankton and other small organisms. The creature did it by Simply Swimming with its enormous mouth open filtering water through its gills.

The pterodastro is an extinct species of flamingo-like birds that lived approximately 70 to 35 million years ago. They were relatively small birds with a wingspan of about two three feet and they were known for their distinctive long narrow beaks equipped with comb-like structures used for filter feeding. Pterodastro lived in Shallow bodies of water like lakes and lagoons and mostly fed on small Crustaceans and other tiny organisms. The animal filtered them from the water using the comb-like structures on the inside of its beak while swimming through the water.

Largest land animal on Earth and one of the most recognizable ones are two species of the African elephant: The Savannah elephant loxadanta Africana and The Forest elephant loxodonticyclotis. You can see them in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa and these creatures can be identified by their large size gray skin and long trunks. African elephants can grow up to 13 feet tall and weigh up to seven thousand to fourteen thousand pounds depending on the species and gender.
