10 Most Terrifying Creatures You'll Be Glad Are Extinct!

From eagles that could eat humans to rats that could eat crocodiles, here are ten terrifying creatures you’ll be glad are extinct! Subscribe to Epic Wildlife http://goo.gl/6rzs5u 10: Titanoboa Out of all the terrifying creatures you're glad don't exist anymore, the Titanoboa is probably at the top of the list. Nobody likes snakes in the first place, and nobody wants a snake the size of a school bus slithering around in their neighborhood. 9: Helicoprion The Helicoprion is something out of a horror movie. It's half shark, half saw blade, and anyone who loves to swim in the ocean should be thankful that this creature no longer exists. While its exact size is unknown, most scientists place it being roughly 21 feet long (6m). Some specimens have been found smaller, and so the size may vary depending on the age and the species. 8: Terror Birds Humans give themselves a little too much credit. After all, we've really only been shaping the world for a few thousand years give or take. That's absolutely nothing compared to the reign of the terror birds that literally terrorized the earth for about 60 million years. 7: Ancient Dragonflies Believe it or not, the largest insect that ever existed was a distant relative to a dragonfly. This creature is named Meganeuropsis, and it ruled the skies way before birds or bats ever came to life. It also lived way before the dawn of the dinosaurs. 6: Mega Croc As you can probably guess judging by the rest of the creatures in this video, there was indeed a mega crocodile! It existed in the Cretaceous period. Just like there were giant bugs and giant snakes, there was also a giant crocodile. 5: Ratzilla We've seen a prehistoric crocodile that can eat dinosaurs. Now it's time to look at a prehistoric rat that could eat crocodiles! Believe it or not, 3 million years ago in South America there was a rodent the size of a bison. That's right. 4: Megapiranha The megapiranha was almost the size of a person. If you were scared to get into the water before because of a potential piranha attack, imagine having to contend with fleets of giant fish with razor teeth that were way bigger than the ones today. 3: Haast’s Eagle Eagles are scary enough as they are today. If you happen to live in an area populated with lots of eagles, you know how dangerous it is to leave your feline friend outside alone, and you probably know how anxious you can get just letting a small dog go to the bathroom outside. 2: The Prehistoric Vulture Many scientists believe that the Argentavis was the largest flying bird that ever existed. The Haast's eagle was definitely a recent monster, but the Argentavis was a prehistoric vulture with a wingspan of up to 26 feet. (8m) At least, that is what some scientists have guessed. 1: Giant Ocean Scorpion Finishing off the video today is a creature that makes my skin crawl even though it lived 467 million years ago. This creature was a scorpion that lived underwater and was the same size as a person. This is like something out of your worst nightmare or a B-rated horror movie. #terrifyingcreatures #extinctcreatures #scarycreatures #epicwildlife
