The Triassic Was Earth's Strangest Period By Far
Everyone has that certain time in their life, where they are just trying things out and experimenting, and perhaps those things are not exactly the most logical or flattering. And just like how we have these phases, earth has had them too, with one of its phase being so strange it single handedly created a plethora of the strangest creatures to ever walk, swim, or fly on this earth.

The Deadliest Sea Animal From Every Single Period
The oceans and seas of earth have long been home to some of the most nightmarish creatures, and when you include every aquatic animal ever, the list of thalassophobia inducing animals is pretty long, which made me wonder, what just was the deadliest sea animal from each of earth’s periods?

When Prey Became Scarier Than Predators
We always talk about the big bad predators of old, namely carnivorous dinosaurs, but we don't give enough flowers to the herbivorous dinosaurs that went far and beyond the norm, to turn into killing machines of their own (in a sense).

When Earth Got Microwaved
You probably think the age of mammals is all cold and grey right? I mean we are in an ice age and all. Yet, this belief would be FOOLISH, cuz guess what, it was actually during the age of mammals, that earth experienced once of its hottest moments ever.

5 Times Evolution Created Prehistoric Hybrids
Ever wondered what you'd get if you combined a Gorilla with a Horse? No? Well evolution has and over the years it has created hybrids of sorts, prehistoric animals that seem to have been straight mash ups of various creatures.

Piranhas: The Animal That Just Doesn't Make Sense
Terrifying, blood thirsty, lethal. These are just some ways I am sure many people describe piranhas, who over the years have built a pretty respectable reputation built off fear, yet in reality, these guys are much more chill and crazy in other ways than we've been led to believe.

Ice Age America Was Basically Africa On Steroids
If you think about Ice Age America, you may picture a bunch of snow, ice, and cavemen. However, that would be wrong, and you would be much closer to reality if you simply pictured, an unlikely place, the great plains of Africa, as that is what America essentially was during the Ice Age, only it was a whole lot crazier.

When Dinosaurs Almost Made A Comeback
If you ask the average person when the dinosaurs rule ended, they would say 66 million years ago when that big ol mean asteroid struck. But in truth, this may not really be all that right...seeing that not so long after their demise a new group of dinosaurs emerged, that caused their own share of terror (pun intended).
