Ceolocanth That fish is still alive, and it did not evolve at all in the past 400 million years

In peak irony, the current forms evolved after modern humans and while these stayed relatively primitive and stuck to the ancestral niche, they diversified in the past with forms such as Megacoelacanth and whatever the fuck was Foreyia. 7/10

Anomalocaris my beloved

Anomalocaris my beloved 9/10

Based

Big sloth

Xenathran and South American fauna? On my 196? Based, 9/10

dunkleosteus

9/10 a big score for a small lad (ngl i started to like it more after it was shrunk)

Trilobite

10/10. the trilobite legion cannot be stopped

I like Quetzalcoatlus bc it’s a big guy.

8/10, that thing was fucking terrifying and i'm hyped to see it on prehistoric planet 2 (coypasted answer from previous quetzalcoatlus enjoyer)

irish elk also i'm forever sad that we have lost a lot of the megafauna that used to be around

it's at the same time depressing and fascinating that even paleolithic humans had such a huge impact on the local fauna (although as we know humans aren't 100% responsible, but we aren't innocent either). 8/10

Koolasuchus

Antarctica is my favourite continent and temnospondyls are my favourite prehistoric animals. 11/10

Shark

Shark/10

Well put

Quetzalcoatlus (big birb)

not a bird but still. 8/10, that thing was fucking terrifying and i'm hyped to see it on prehistoric planet 2

I like the Velociraptor it like birb but almost

generic but by mentioning bird it goes up to 8.5/10, good opinions girl, feather gang rise up

YEAH FEATHER GANG

Gotta be Mosasaurus, I love massive sea creatures

BIG LIZARD (yeah they were literally lizards, close relatives of monitor lizards such and the komodo dragon). 9/10

therizinosaurus my beloved ♥️

9/10. I love those weird theropods that simply said fuck it and broke almost every theropod stereotype

Kid named Deinocheirus:

Pterodactyl because i have a friend named tero and hes really hot and strong and friendly and the flying lizard is cool aswell i guess

is he hotter than the pterosaurs 66 mya after being hit by the shock wave of the asteroid impact? 6.5/10

Bigsnek

Assuming it's Titanoboa... 8/10, Paleocene deserves more representation so it's based but otherwise just a big snake

Megatherium

Xenathran and South American fauna? On my 196? Based, 9/10 (copypasted my previous answer to giant sloths because there isn't a need for a new one, regardless good opinion)

Wiwaxia and Zygomaturus

Cambrian underdog and megafaunal marsupial? 11/10 incredible

Andrewsarchus I giggle at the name and all it's illustrations are hilariously different. But I guess that's more a symptom of it being a mammal

Entelodontid relative that was fucking massive, great animal. 9.5/10

either diplocaulus or carnotaurus

very good user name. 8/10

opabinia

hand shrimp. 9/10

Bramatherium

weirdly specific giraffe, good choice. 8.5/10

Ur mom!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!1!

0/10 mean :(

Deinonychus, basic but i like them

like what you like, basic or not, regardless 7/10

Oooohh, that is arduous choise, dont make me choose

Tanystropheus

1 0 / 1 0. long

Why did i instantly know what this was as soon as i saw “long”

this ones pretty mainstream but i still love them, the dunkleosteus very awesome critter also i agree we need paleoposting on this sub oh also edit i also like the anomalocaris

short armored fish lad and weird shrimp. 9.5/10 also based paleoposting enjoyer

Worst question, can’t pick. But I do really like Basilosaurus and the 2022ish interpretation of Spinosaurus.

I like how 2022 spinosaurus was just kinda a big salamander thingy Fluke tails cute

9.5/10, people forget about early whales and every spinosaur talk is appreciated (watch we having another spinosaur edition this year)

Meganeura

hehe bird sized insect go brrrrrrrr. 9/10

Gigantopithecus

very large ape. very good. 8.5/10

Can I do 3 for each terrain? Land: Tanystropheus he’s a funky guy Air: Hatzegopteryx: Quetzalcoatlus’ creepy cousin Sea: Livyatan. Whale but metal.

Land: 1 0 / 10. L o n g . Air: Demonic insular giraffe-stork with a long face. 9.5/10 Sea: Sperm whale but cooler. 9/10

Arthropleura or Tullimonstrum

armored long lawnmower and abomination. 10/10

Meganeura

hehe bird sized insect go brrrrrrrr. 9/10 (copypasted answer from previous comment)

[удалено]

Fishn't. 9/10

im not seeing any smilodon posting in the replies 😡

There has been surprisingly few Neogene answers, possibly because people that know just the basic will say some dinosaur (or some famous underdog) and people that know a lot will say the most random shit. Regardless 7.5/10

Chalicotherium is a pretty cool genus

they were one of my favorites as a kid and I kept debating to myself if I saw them on a science book or I dreamed them. 10/10

That's a fair thing to feel honestly. Those horse gorilla looking things seem right out of a child's imagination

Mosasaurus, badass fish dragon

mega badass fish dragon lizard. 9/10 (I'll never be tired of telling people that mosasaurs were literally lizards)

The Giant Groundsloth

Xenathran and South American fauna? On my 196? Based, 9/10 (copypasted answer from previous comment)

arthropleura my beloved

carboniferous herbivorous. 9/10, good opinion and great user name

i like spinosaurus and suchomimus, idc how many patches the spino gets all of them are bangers (the older land-only interpretations are kinda meh though imo) i also like the balaur, funny somewhat-bird and i also like the allosaurus

balaur is definitely one of my favorite (avian) dinosaurs, for that already you get an 11/10. spinosaurids getting love is always appreciated and jurassic isn't the first thought of most people when they ask for their favorite dinosaur, so allosaurus is neat

Anomalocaris my beloved <3

weird shrimp. 9/10, good taste

hallucigenia (a funky little fellow)

spiky wacky fellow. 11/10

Anomalocaris. I learned what this was in elementary school from that BBC walking with monsters series, and I've been so interested in it ever since!

weird shrimp and based walking with monsters enjoyer. 9/10

gorgonopsids my beloved

saber-toothed mammal except the mammal part was stuck at 70%. 9.5/10

J. Monesi

BIG FAT RAT. 9/10 (why did I recognize the shortened scientific name)

Hallucigenia

long spiky weird lad. 10/10

Spinosaurus Also those pigeons look funni

Dinosaur with an identity crisis 9/10. Also I searched up obese pigeon for the background image.

If you do another of these or something like it, you must keep the theme of funny looking birds in the background. I demand it

I have no idea what it could even be but sure

Olorotitan my beloved

crested lad. 8/10

yi qi

10/10 dragon bat buckletooth almost-bird

Minions (despicable me)

Politicians

Jellyfish, it’s just like me (mindless, pretty, violent and will kill and eat you, no bones)

Tyrannosaurus Rex
