Hi guys Charlie here did you know that every year nearly 55 000 species of animals go extinct that's
nearly 150 species per day now of course that is sad but there are some animals that i'm sure you
will be glad are no longer around today that is because they were simply too scary powerful and
aggressive and if they were around today they would wipe out everything and everyone that
went near them so let's look at some terrifying animals you will be glad or extinct stick around
to the end to see the animal that people are most happy is not around today gigantopithecus
apes are very scary and powerful in zoos if apes ever escape then they are not tranquilized
instead they are shot immediately because they can be so dangerous to humans but modern apes
are nothing compared to the gigantopithecus the gigantopithecus is the largest ape that ever lived
this species went extinct around 100 000 years ago this animal makes bigfoot look like a cuddly pet
gigantopithecus were about 10 feet tall and weighed 1 100 pounds even the most strong
humans at the time would have been easy prey for the gigantopithecus these animals lived in the
tropical forests of china for 9 million years but although their gigantic stature was what
made them so scary it was also their downfall the food sources in its environment rapidly changed
this meant that it could not eat enough to survive that's because being such a gigantic animal it
required a lot of food so its gigantic size is actually what caused this animal to go extinct
i guess bigger does not always equal better okay maybe i'm just trying to make myself feel better
chinese dragon are dragons real some people view dragons as mythical creatures that aren't real
but in 2017 a 60-foot skeleton was found in china and this led many to believe that dragons used
to exist in the area the skeleton was found in zhang jiako city in northern china the skeleton
had a long spine two small arms and a large skull many of the residents said it's a perfect match
of the legend beast you see it's been rumored for centuries that a dragon used to live in this area
all of the villagers watched this dragon in amazement but it's not exactly known what species
of animal this is either way it's a good thing this dragon is no longer alive today if dragons
were alive today then they would likely do untold damage to cities and towns everywhere they went
andrew circus the name of this extinct animal leads many to believe that it's a dinosaur but
it's not a dinosaur at all in fact it's a mammal the andrew sarkis lived during the middle eocene
epoch and it lived in what is today mongolia according to scientists the andrew sarkis had
a similar diet to a velociraptor this meant that it was very fierce and ate almost anything but it
especially loved to eat meat and there's no doubt that if it was alive today it would love to eat
humans their most similar relative today are goats and sheep which ironically do not eat meat but are
eaten by humans andrew circus are known for their gigantic and strong mouths their razor-sharp teeth
and jaw muscles would be enough to bite your arm clean off but thankfully nature worked out
pretty well and these scary animals are no longer around today make sure that i don't go extinct
by subscribing and pressing the notification bell too it really does help me out mega piranha if you
thought piranhas were scary then you ain't seen nothing yet regular piranhas are very dangerous
to humans and will eat you very quickly but in the past there used to be something much more scary
dwelling in earth's waters meet the mega piranha mega piranhas were 70 to 130 centimeters long they
were found in the late miocene period in waters in what is today considered argentina scientists have
found the teeth of mega piranhas and they're very scary some parts of the mega piranha's body is
actually a mystery to this day that's because many of the fossils we've found have been incomplete
but what we do know is mega piranhas were very scary and if they were around today then you might
think twice about swimming in the sea helicoprion you may think that when it comes to underwater
animals you can't find anything more scary than a shark well what about a shark with a buzzsaw in
its mouth that is effectively what the helicoprion is the helicoprion is an extinct species of shark
but what made this animal so uniquely terrifying is that it had a circular saw in its lower jaw
this animal lived 290 million years ago and it was incredibly tough surviving a mass extinction event
but 240 million years ago these went extinct just imagine if these things were still in our seas
today i don't think i would ever set foot in the sea or on a boat the circular buzzsaw in its mouth
was made up of very sharp teeth and the animal itself was also massive at around 13 feet long
titanoboa are you scared of snakes well after seeing this creature even the most scary snake
will look pretty innocent well after seeing the titanoboa even the most scary snakes we have today
will seem pretty innocent the titanoboa was the largest and most terrifying snake to ever live the
titanoboa mainly ate a diet of crocodiles and it would sometimes eat these in just one bite these
lived around 60 million years ago in the waters of the tropics they were very large at around 40
feet in length they would normally hunt their prey by constricting them they would use their
massive bodies and weight to suffocate their prey after all titanoboas weighed around 2 500 pounds
that is one heavy animal it's a good thing these guys went extinct otherwise they would likely wipe
out large areas of human life any small settlement or village near warm water where these things
lived would be eaten there's no way even an entire village of humans could take one of these things
out their skin was simply too thick to pierce and they would also move incredibly fast capra circus
many say that the capra circus is like a hybrid of a t-rex and a crocodile yep a
very scary animal from the past and one from the present to make this terrifying creature
the capra circus looks very much like a crocodile butt with legs these muscular and long legs mean
that they could run very fast no human would be able to outrun this animal its name literally
means bor croc that's because it has the body of a crocodile but the speed of a wild boar it went
extinct during a mass extinction around 66 million years ago but it lived in the late cretaceous era
camaraceris chimeraceras may look like some kind of mythical being or monster
but it's actually a real animal that did live on planet earth this creature was very similar to
the kraken it was around 12 meters in length and it was alive during the ordovician period around
470 million years ago this thing had gigantic tentacles that it would use to catch its prey
they would wrap their prey up in their tentacles and constrict it of course if they ran into a
human then they would do that to us too but thankfully these things went extinct a long
time ago otherwise they would make the ocean even more scary than it already is megalodon
now it's time for the animal that people are most glad is no longer around at least as far
as we know you see there is some debate as to whether megalodons are actually extinct or not
megalodons make fictional sharks like jaws or the sharknado sharks look like babies
megalodons were about 50 feet long and just one of their teeth was the size of a human being
megalodons lived for 14 million years consuming massive amounts of ocean life
officially they went extinct 2.5 million years ago but some believe that megalodons
are still alive today after all we've only explored five percent of the earth's oceans
that means megalodons could live in the remaining 95 percent there have been many sightings that
people say are megalodons but we have not been able to confirm these sightings yet if these guys
are still around then i'm glad that megalodons aren't on any beaches that humans go to they can
eat an entire great white shark like you're eating a french fry so imagine how easily they would eat
humans but now it's time for you to make your voice heard comment down below which is the most
scary animal you are glad is extinct if you want some more amazing videos then check out my second
