Take the biomechanical weapon of a prehistoric predator and name and make a weapon out of it
I would stick a terror bird skull on the end of a pole and call it a hellbird, like halberd.
Who would win in a fight to the death between Thylacoleo and andrewsarchus?
Would arthropleura make a good pet assuming you can bring it back from extinction?
Would Argentinosaurus make a good pet assuming you can bring it back from extinction?
What do you think about Andrewsarchus?
By the late Eocene, mammals began to diversify and grew bigger in size, left vacant by the dinosaurs. Mammals such as Andrewsarchus and Hyeanadon became vicious.
Though recent studies suggest that Andrewsarchus was more of an opportunistic scavenger rather than a hunting animal, though it might be possible that they would go for smaller animals, anything that was easy game.
While a ancestor of the whale, despite being a “giant hoofed wolf” in media, as I much like the concept, Andrewsarchus belonged to the artiodactyl— even toed ungulates— most likely also related to hippos and Entelodont, also known as hell pigs. So not a “sheep in wolf’s clothing”.
What do you guys think?
Would Daeodon make a good pet assuming you can bring it back from extinction?
My March piece for my mail club!
Curious ? Ask me more & you can get an original, exclusive piece each month too! OC
Just posted my first mystery/documentary animal video. Complete beginner here, I just posted my first video after weeks of work. Nervous but excited.
Would love any feedback from people who've been at this longer than me. Still figuring out editing. This is not intended for self promotion, I just wanted to get tips on the editing. I get help from my brother who edits videos a lot and has helped me along the way, but I just wanted to see if anyone had anything else to say or help me with.
Thanks My channel
If anyone wants to see the video, the channel name is Ghost Species and the video is about a Megalodon. I did some research and found out that the best time to post long form content is Sunday mornings and end of weekdays. Lmk if that is right or I should change my posting schedule.
Now that I think about it, adding googly eyes to a rock and drawing a smiley would def look like Sacabambaspis | Source

Gorgonichthys clarki
A late devonian placoderm with large fang-like dental plates on both jaws. Comparable in size with the more known Dunkleosteus, this predatory fish may have held on to prey better thanks to its hardware.

I'm primarily referring to animals but a prehistoric plant, fungus, bacteria, or virus that qualifies for such a role would be cool. How would it go, how would they be stopped? Would they be predatory or vengeful, or just feral? Should it be a grounded encounter or supernatural? Animal horror can mix survival, political, and moral themes, and the possibilities with these are endless.
An ancient viral or floral spore contagian. Whether it be time travel to past or present or genetic engineering. A rampaging predatory Dromaeosaurid or Entelodont haunting a town, or a pseudo-kaiju scenario of a sauropod rampaging a suburburban area. What do you imagine?
I need some smilodon fatalis info!!
drop any knowledge you would like to in the comments! im writing a fiction book with a sort of warrior cat setting and instead of having to track it down on some websites or use ai (ew) I decided to get some information on how they lived, acted, and any other things you can possibly think of from some online experts on reddit! anything would be useful.
