Panic with the most bizarre shapes of prehistoric times

You must be familiar with many unique shaped creatures that exist on this planet. But have you ever wondered what their "weirdness" would be if you went back to prehistoric times? The list below will answer you. Of course, all of them are no longer found at the present time (except for their fossil shapes).

Deinocheirus

Deinocheirus is the largest member of the ornithomimosaurs group - a group of dinosaurs that look similar to modern ostriches.

The analysis shows that Deinocheirus is the largest member of the ornithomimosaurs group - a group of dinosaurs that look similar to modern ostriches. However, this animal has many unique characteristics that have never been seen in other species of the ornithomimosaurs group, such as the long no-toothed muzzle and a large hump on the back. They have an estimated length of 11m, stand over 5m high and weigh about 7 tons.

Deinotherium

The Deinotherium has an elephant-like appearance today but is larger and especially has a pair of ivory-growing tusks.

Deinotherium has an elephant-like appearance today but is larger and especially the pair of tusks growing in their chin is used in digging soil for root and fruit roots. In addition, Deinotherium has a relatively short hose compared to other elephants. At a height of 12-15 feet (3.6m - 4.6m), this animal is considered one of the largest mammals that ever lived on land.

Nyctosaurus

Nyctosaurus is the only species with no claws near the wings.

This flying lizard is the only species with no claws near the wings. In return, it impresses with a giant crest that looks like a horn, bigger than the crests of other flying lizards. Many people believe that this crest is a fabric-like thin layer between horns, which acts as a sail to increase their flying ability. However, the researchers found that it really weakened the ability to fly, so the crest was simply a monstrous horn.

Pterodaustro

Pterodaustro flying lizards possess strange horn-like teeth under the jaws of some whales. These teeth are used to feed small marine creatures, similar to the way flamingos eat sea shrimp. Perhaps because flamingos have a pale pink color from food, it is easy to understand why Pterodaustro has the same color.

Stethacanthus

Stethacanthus looks quite similar to modern sharks.

Although it looks quite similar to modern sharks, Stethacanthus is still frightening with the strange dorsal fin and small spikes growing on it and growing on their heads. This fin may have been used to flirt with a partner or to defend.

Therizinosauridae

Therizinosauridae belongs to the group of zooplankton.

This is a strange, mysterious species belonging to the group of zooplankton. They stand out with long necks and large claws that can reach 1 meter in many individuals. However, unlike other beastly dinosaurs, they are herbivores, some can even add wings.

Epidexipteryx

Epidexipteryx has no wings but has 4 tail feathers.

This is a member of the wingless Scansoriopterygidae, which has four tail feathers. These feathers seem to be used to show off themselves. Epidexipteryx is one of the smallest dinosaurs because adults can only reach a height of about 10 inches (about 25cm) excluding the tail feathers, which is the size of today's pigeons.

Tanystropheus

Tanystropheus owns a long neck up to 3m.

The amphibian species that lives in the Triassic period is about 20 feet long and has a neck that is up to 10 feet long. Many evidence has confirmed that this is a reptile that eats fish because their fossils are found mainly in areas with water or near the coast. They often use this special long neck to catch fish.
