    I remember in the the episode that Stephen said that there was a lake nearby, so my assumption as a kid was that these 'scorpions' were actually merely a species of semi-aquatic Eurypterids, which I figured was an adequate explanation for their size. Now, looking back, I'm not so sure...

      They're actually inspired by vinegaroons for sure. Just looking at their appendages that have no pincers and the whip tail.

    The species shown in this episode do not represent any real extinct, prehistoric creatures. They are entirely fictional.

      They may not look like any ancient animal, but they looks like an oversized vinegaroons.

      Yes, the oxygen in the atmosphere would have had to have been 6-7 times the level it is today, and even in the episode it's featured in, it's explicitly shown that the oxygen content is much less than it is today, only 20% oxygen.

    • @riamus7258

      not to mention that even with enough oxygen to grow big, they still couldn't get this large. Unless they had wings, which are quite important for an arthropod to grow big as well, as the rapid flapping of their wings also causes wind to flow in.

      Personally, I would've liked to have seen the alpha mer creature fight a megalodon. That would've been an epic fight, similar to the gorgonopsid and the future predator

      Considering these scorpions are from the Silurian, yes.
      Think of them as like the majority of dinosaurs from _Terra Nova_ in that they were created just for this series.
