Tell me, which prehistoric animal do you thing you would be dissapointed upong meeting it, and which one do you think would surpass your expectations?

Basilosaurus is underrated, he was one of the deadliest predators ever.

Basilosaurus is rarely mentioned as one of the deadliest predators in history, when for 7 million years it terrorized the oceans in the Eocene, he had a terrorific power in his bite and was the biggest marine creature in the Eocene. He deserves being in the spotlight as one of the deadliest predators ever just like Mosasaurus and Megalodon, rather than just being a prehistoric and primitive whale, and the fact of only seeing him from his evolutionary aspect as a whale, instead of what he was as a predator.

Barbourofelis vs Thylacosmilus

Probably one of the most fascinating cases of convergent evolution, where two virtually identical species are produced without being related at all between them.

Do you think or suspect that Entelodonts were hyper-aggressive like their modern relatives, the hippos?

Would entelodons be at the top of the list for attacks on humans and other species like hippos?
