      You should do a short or a video going over if you think it might be possible to bring any of these back from extinction, similar to what they are doing with the mammoth. I know that this is really only possible if the corpse is persevered in ice or something

So I dropped out and I’ll be unhappy for the rest of my life because of it.) I do live close to the Everglades though, so I still get my animal fix.

      I don't think they know yet but it wasn't related to the Great White it was part of a now extinct group. They are definitely re thinking it's shape and even it's speed. Some think it was fast like a meko others more like a Greenland shark. We have a bunch of teeth and some jaw fragments so until we find more evidence it is anyone's guess.

    People overlook how terrifying Orcas would be if they didn’t universally agree that humans were the only animal not on the menu for them.
    -They’re insanely smart.
    -They hunt in pacs.
    -They have their own language.
    -They’re large enough to snatch someone right off a boat or a kayak.
    -And they often torture their prey prior to killing it just for fun.
    They seem like a cheesy evil sci-fi predator that couldn’t possibly exist… but they do exist. We’re just the only 100+lb animal on the planet that doesn’t have to worry about them in the ocean.

    When I was a kid my Grandparents brought us to Drumheller for vacation and well there they bought me the lower portion of the jaw and teeth.
    Funny part about this was the only reason we were there was cause my cousin had discovered some new species of armoured dinosaur.
    Never thought much of it until I found a whole documentary on UA-cam and it’s now considered one of the most well preserved fossils ever.
    The name ended up being borealopelta but it was originally suppose to be named the funkosaurus 😂

    Should give some credit to Mary Anning, the young girl in England that discovered the first ever ichthyosaur and I believe the plesiosaur back in the 1800's.
    Some of the first if not the first fossils of marine reptiles in history, when people were still heavily religious and reluctant to believe that it was even possible for these creatures to have existed that far in the past, even questioning the possibility of animals going extinct due to religious reasons.
