Our planet has preserved evidence of this incredibly diversity of prehistoric animals in the form of bones, footprints, amber deposits, and other fossil remains. The oldest animals that roamed the earth were mostly sea creatures, with alien like features. Some of them went on to evolve with the times and live for millions of years. In fact, scientists believe that a few still live in remote parts of the world. Today, we are looking at 10 prehistoric animals that could still exist. Number 1 will leave you speechless, so wait till the end! Let’s begin Woolly mammoth The majority of the world’s mammoth remains are discovered in Russia every year. Yet, some people prefer to believe that we don’t even need them as evidence… because these animals are still very much alive and well. Siberia is probably the most remote area in all of Russia. Could these territories harbor living mammoths to this day? Some people in Russia believe it’s possible. According to one rumor from the 1940s, military pilots flew over the dense taiga in Yakutia and spotted a small herd of animals, very similar to wooly mammoths. In 1978, a similar story happened to a group of people on the Indigirka River in Yakutia. They claimed that one early morning, they woke up to about a dozen mammoths, calmly drinking from the river. These accounts, however, are nothing more than urban legends, just like bigfoot and Lochness. But some scientists haven’t ruled out the possible existence of mammoths and they are still looking for it in Russia. If scientists cannot find one, they will probably end up creating one themselves! The Moa Scotland has Nessie, America has bigfoot and the British have their Big Cats. Not to be outdone, little old New Zealand has it's own famous legend too … But this one is a lot taller and has feathers, not hair. We are talking about the Moa, the tallest and heaviest bird that ever lived. This amazing bird grew to a dizzying height of 12-14 ft and weighed in at 600 pounds and it was thought to have been hunted to extinction by 1400 AD. There were 11 species of these flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, ranging from 40 to 600 pounds. Early human settlement sites are filled with moa bones suggesting they were an important food of the first people there. Despite scientific knowledge denying any evidence that Moa lived past the 1500s, there have been persistent sightings and books written about such claims, well after the Europeans settled there in the 1800s. Once, there was an article published that stated the Moa had been seen by hikers in 1993. There were also photographs that hinted the bird still exists in the forests of New Zeeland, but no concrete evidence has been found. Megalodon In the world of big predators, even the tallest bears and birds wouldn’t want to tangle with the biggest sharks that ever lived. From 16 million years ago to about 2 million years ago, 50-foot- long creatures preyed on whales, apparently biting off their fins to immobilize them. Just for comparison, a megalodon was 3 times bigger than a normal shark these days. According to some studies, a megalodon’s bite was strong enough to crush a car. A wide number of people believe that Megalodon still exists and hasn’t been sighted yet because only 3-5 percent of the waters of the world have been discovered. There are still various mysteries that are yet to unfold, like Megalodon and the Kraken. If you think modern Australian animals are scary, spare a thought for the country's earliest human inhabitants. They had to contend with huge kangaroos and 5-meter carnivorous lizards. Let's have a look at Megalania, the largest terrestrial lizard the world has ever known. Megalania was a goanna lizard, a relative of today's infamous Komodo dragon, and conservative estimates have predicted that it was at least 6 meters long. Like its relative, the Komodo dragon, Megalania was armed with a lethal arsenal of curved teeth, and not just that, studies have indicated that the lizard possessed a venom delivery system. If that’s true, this would make Megalania the largest venomous animal ever to have lived. Some researchers believe that this reptile still probably exists in the outskirts of Australia. Because the country has huge wildlife, that is probably the reason they have not been discovered yet. Huge lizard-like marks have been found in different areas that hints towards this creature still being alive and preys on cattle. Short-faced bears Bears are already too scary,
