Anomalocaris
The world's original Super-Predator. Anomalocaris lived 535-520 Million Years Ago, and was truly gigantic compared with the other animals that it shared its world with - Palaeontologists say it was 10 times bigger than anything else around. It therefore displayed Gigantism. A 50cm - 2 metre long apex predator, it had an exclusively carnivorous diet, hunting virtually everything and anything it could tackle, including the Trilobites. Although top of the food chain for a time, Anomalocaris and…

Arthropleura
Arthropleura was a giant centipede-like arthropod. It grew to the size of a man. Arthropleura was herbivorous. Arthropleura were one of the first mainly herbivorous terrestrial animals, they had strong jaws, but it is unlikely that it may have been poisonous for defense. The high oxygen level in the Carboniferous Period allowed this creature (and many others) to grow to very large sizes. Many fossilized footprints from Arthropleura can been found on the coast of Scotland. It is the largest…
Hybodus
Hybodus was a once wildly successful prehistoric shark that became extinct hundreds of millions of years after it first evolved. The genus first appeared in the Late Permian, then went extinct in the Early-Mid Cretaceous - from 260-90 Million Years Ago (and it may have lived beyond that, possibly dying out entirely in the K-T Extinction 65.5 Million Years Ago, though as yet 90 Million Years Ago is the date of the last known specimens) It was about 2.5 metres long, making it a modest shark in…

Tyrannosaurus ("Tyrant Lizard King")
No introduction needed for the king of the dinosaurs. The tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest and the last of the terrestrial carnivores to roam on planet Earth at the end of the Cretaceous Period. To the eyes of a paleontologist, its the ultimate predator to science, but to the eyes of enthusiasts (children), it's the most fearsome monster to appear on the big screen. 1 Flesh on the Bones 1.1 AMNH 5027 1.2 Sue (FMNH PR2081) 2 Habitat 3 Senses 4 Feeding Habitats 5 Parental Care 6 Pop…
Leaellynasaura
Leaellynasaura was a small Hypsilophodontid, of the Early Cretaceous of Australia, (112-89)Million Years Ago. It was around 2 metres long, and a metre, probably weighing less than 60 kilograms. It lived in social group,s that relied on lookouts to warn of approaching predators, in the lush polar forests. As a polar animal, it was adapted to endure the harsh winter twilight of the time, and months would pass before sunlight returned. Its eyes were huge in relation to its body, and as such it…
