My favorite dinosaur Linhenykus
Atopodentatus
The freakiest tetrapod to ever live
Looks like the elite from Halo
No one remembers Paraceratherium.
Anomalocaris doesn't get enough love, none of the awesome Cambrian biota do.
>>2109096
And they later evolve into these giant filter feeders in the Ordovician
>>2109096
Japan loves them. Pic related. Book I found at Japanese bookstore. Cute and weird as fuck.

It doesn't look like it ever lived on this planet
Chalicotherium.
Half gorilla half horse
>>2109097
I want to see it move around
i somehow can´t imagine how this animal propelled itself through the water
>>2109038
I remember when the first time i saw WWB the called it Indricotherium
Are Indricotherium and Paraceratherium the same animal or two species apart?
I have the obscure genre: Paleoparadoxia
>>2109096
That wonderful feel when you grew up with a cambrian explosion book, and have known about anomalocarids, trilobites, and opabinia as long as you've known dogs, cats, and parrots

This bizarre video was my introduction to the animal
>>2109276
This guy looks like he's on some Dugal Dixon shit.
>>2109366
If you didn't know about dogs and cats before you could understand the concept of a book you were abused as a child.
>>2109171
That is amazing

Oh, I love desmostylians. Like ancient sea horses (its true, they're perissodactyls now)

Wut?
>>2109171
that's really cute actually
>>2109363
Yeah, I think that they combined them into one genera, I remember being confused about them too
>>2109038
I do. It's one of my favorite animals of all time. Right up there with cool ass Brontotheres. Perisodactyla, not Artiodactyla OK.
these things look like something out of Spore
>>2109038
Now miniscule in comparison to PALAEOLOXODON NAMADICUS
>>2108381
>Chocobos were real
>>2108399
two questions
does it continue growing
does it hurt when they mate
>>2108747
What's it's common ancestor? How did it get a proto 3 jaw skull? Just how does that happen?
>>2108381
What did it eat?
>>2111197
Flesh, a lot of it. It would probably love your flesh too.
>>2111197
Meat.
>>2111191
Relationships uncertain.
It's not really "three jawed" as it has a split in the upper jaw filled with teeth, but it's certainly one of the freakist reptiles that has ever lived.
>>2111191
>What's it's common ancestor?
common with what?
>>2111785
I assume with whatever else is its closest relative
>>2108747
when I first saw this thing, I immediately thought of a flamingo
and that's what I still think of it
for me, it's a fucking reptilian flamingo
Giant Pterosaurs aren't obscure, but I don't think most people are aware of how fucking creepy they'd be because they'd be spending a lot of time just walking around like lopsided Silent Hill abominations.
>>2112157
Not to mention that you'd shit yourself whenever you see these deaths from above in the sky
>>2112561
How could something like that fly?
>>2112574
lol what else could it have done?
>>2112574
Forelimb-based launching.
>>2110436
Cos 2009
>>2112574
Pterosaurs are entirely different from birds. Look how tiny proportionally it's body is.
They also basically had inflatable wings.
>>2109373
I'm fucking dying
>>2110530
>>2109171
based fucking japs, never in my life would I have thought i would see a mecha Anomalocaris
>>2110907
underrated, these things are massive
>>2114128
Its only bigger than the paraceratherium by a little bit but still pretty awesome
>>2114128

neh mang
>>2114123
that gif reminds me... fuckin Titanopterans
>>2114145
That thing looks bad ass
>>2108381
that unnamed giant south African prosauropod... biggest biped... ever
>>2112157
Would they go after humans, do you think?
>>2114174
Of course
