Imagine your everyday critters, but supersized to the max in prehistoric times – we're talking animals that make today's versions look like pocket pets. Take the prehistoric armadillo, for example; back in the day, these armored dudes were practically the size of small cars. Ever heard of the giant ground sloth? Picture a sloth, but towering over you like a tree. And don't get me started on the colossal turtle the size of a hippo. Trust me, prehistoric wildlife was playing in a league of its own! 🌿🦕 Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: Megatherium Americanum: Biodiversity Heritage Library, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Megatherium_Americanum.jpg Patagotitan bones: Embajada de EEUU en Argentina – https://flic.kr/p/2o22NqC, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marc_R._Stanley_with_Patagotitan_bones.jpg Ambulocetus skeleton: Hans Thewissen, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ambulocetus_skeleton.jpg Prehistoric Sea Turtle: Cybjorg at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prehistoric_Sea_Turtle.jpg CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/: Allopleuron hofmanni: Eduard Solà, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Allopleuron_hofmanni.jpg Megatherium americanum: Marcus Burkhardt, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Megatherium_americanum_Marcus_Burkhardt.jpg Spinosaurus: ABelov2014, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Underwater_Spinosaurus_ecology.jpg CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: Megatherium model: Boris Dimitrov, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Megatherium_model.jpg Diacodexis pakistanensis: Apokryltaros at English Wikipedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diacodexis_pakistanensis_e.jpg CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0: Patagotitan at dawn: PaleoEquii, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patagotitan_at_dawn.png Patagotitan: Mariol Lanzas, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Patagotitan_restoration_2019.jpg Patagotitan: Zissoudisctrucker, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FMNH_Patagotitan.jpg Mahout and elephants: AngelB00709620, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mahout_and_elephants.jpg Chinese giant salamander: Petr Hamerník, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Velemlok_%C4%8D%C3%ADnsk%C3%BD_zoo_praha_1.jpg Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
