Scientists now and then uncover and unearth strange looking animal fossils buried deep in the ground and some of them are particularly fascinating. Some of these top ancient incredible animals are as follows.
Predatory Whales:-
New evidence made from D scans of the Blaena Whale teeth’s revealed that these creatures were once not gentle as we think them to be now. The modern Baleen Whale has bristle like structures in its mouth for capturing planktons and fishes while their ancestors had sharp teeth with cutting edges.
Various studies have confirmed that these whales used these sharp cutting edged teeth of one purpose and that was to cut the flesh of a giant prey.
Eusaurosphargis Dalsasso:-
A fossil of the Eusaurosphargis Dalsasso has been made into an image by an artist, which presents a reptile like creature with round body, flaring tail and a row of spike on its elongated back. The appearance is somewhat similar to today’s Girdled Lizards.
The animal is supposedly land animal unable to swim in water. The fossil of this animal was found in Swiss Alps that further dismiss any notion of its aquatic nature.
Chilesaurus Diegosuarez:-
This animal is strongly resembled to the carnivorous T-Rex dinosaur but surprisingly his version is a vegetarian as it only consumed pants for food. Scientists are still bewildered by examining this dinosaur fossil as to what kind of evolution led to the evolution of such a dinosaur species.
This creature fossils show records of having two stumpy fingers like claws which were also sharp in nature. The animal despite its vegetative nature is supposedly a result of “Mosaic Convergent Evolution“Meaning forming parts like other animals of the same environment.
Tamisiocaris Borealis:-
This is a prehistoric creature which is actually a 2 meter tall shrimp that had weird feeding filters built on its mouth. The animal had supposedly lived I n waters of Greenland and fed like modern Blue Whale.
Evolution led to the being of this gentle predator who when swept for food exhausted lots of energy and hence needed huge amount of plankton to sustain itself.
Xenokeryx Amidala:-
This creature’s fossils show a bizarre looking prehistoric animal with three horns on its head. The creature might have lived in the Europe 15 million years ago.
Females of this specie did not have horns while males had horns above each eye and T shaped bone on the back of heads. They had enlarged canines which were only for displaying as this deer sized animal was an herbivore who fed on fruits, leaves and roots for sustenance. It closely resembles with today’s Giraffes and Okapi.
