Animals of the Past In The World:

Here's a list of some prehistoric animals which I think is fabulous and fascinating
1. Diprotodon

Before the first man to set foot on the continent of Australia about 40,000 years ago, varied-sized marsupials once lived there. One of the largest is Diprotodon. This one marsupial estimated size of an adult Hippos. Judging from the shape morphology, it looks much like a Wombat - Australian marsupial species - but huge. Just like most other marsupial animals, Diprotodon also consume leaves as its main food. Although they are not animals like kangaroos have nimble movements, but the size of a large and powerful body make it very difficult for predators to defeated.

2. MOROPUS

When scientists find fossils Moropus for the first time, they seemed hard to believe morphology of this one creature. Ancient animal with a head like a horse's head actually has a weird body shape. Scientists describe it as a "mix" of three animals, namely horses, pygmy giraffes and bears. Horse-like head and the body of a bear-like bodies connected by a rather long neck like a giraffe's neck dwarf. With long nails sharp nan, and the ability to run well of course he has a good defense to avoid predators. Moropus living in the southern and western Asia about 12,000 years ago.

3. Ambulocetus

nilah one of the ancient creatures that claimed many adherents of Neo-Darwinism as strong evidence of a transition period species of sea creatures to land. Ambulocetus, ancient animals with a mixture similar stature ancestors of whales and otters living in what is now known as modern Pakistan about 50 million years ago. Ambulotecetus an adult body length is estimated about 12 feet. Form a large head with a long jaw. The teeth are designed to capture sharp and gripping prey. In the water, he can move with nimble thanks to the help of his tail is used as a "motor" for the body.

4. Lystrosaurus

Before the emergence of dinosaurs, living creature on Earth ever enlivened by some strange animal-like reptiles. One is Lystrosaurus. Ancient animals is quite interesting because of the shape of her life in this strange swampy habitat, but it also does not matter if it should be forced to inhabit the places classified as dry. Lystrosaurus expected to inhabit the Earth about 230 million years ago.

5. Phorusrhacos

About 20 million years ago, South America is a land that has so many variations of species of birds and mammals. One of them is fairly well known carnivorous bird species named Phorusrhacos. He is a species of bird that can not fly. Height can reach 10 feet (3 meters). Although not able to fly, they are fast runners. This makes Phorusrhacos can easily catch their prey. Phorusrhacos species estimated to exist up to 3 million years ago. Scientists estimate Phorusrhacos extinction caused by the emergence of several other predators are migrating from North to South Amrika after the two connected by a land which appears to the Central American mainland.

6. Mammoth

I'm sure my friends are already familiar with this one legendary animal. Mammoth is one of the ancient animals that are so popular. Physically resembling the elephant but has a thick fur all over its body. Great stature and an additional "arms" of ivory so long makes it so difficult to conquer any predators. The paintings are the scratched on cave walls by early man many describe how difficult this animal to be conquered by them. Mammoth is the animals that inhabit the surrounding Wrangel Island in the northern coast of Siberia. Many scientists believe that the last generation of Mammoth still can be found around 4000 years ago during construction of Khufu pyramid in Giza, Egypt have been completed.

7. Tiger Tooth Sword

These ancient animals that for me the most fascinating, Tiger Tooth Sword. They are one of the ice-age animals are so well known. One of the most vicious predator nan deadliest ever set foot on this earth. Tiger Tooth Sword inhabit the western United States at the end of the ice age, but they also spread several other North American regions as well as some lived in the South American region.

Known, there are two genus of animal, namely Genus Genus Smilodon and Homotherium. In general, the type of the genus Smilidon long fangs can reach more than 18 centimeters, while the long fangs Homotherium genus of about 10 centimeters. These animals hunt horses, bison, antelope for food
