In this video you can see the History of Woolly Mammoth, Smilodon [Sabar toothed tiger ], Megalodon, Titanoboa, Dinosaur, Early Primates, elasmotherium, pulmonoscorpius, sarcosuchus and more .

Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)
Time Period: Lived during the Pleistocene epoch, around 400,000 to 4,000 years ago.
Habitat: Primarily found in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
Characteristics: Known for its long, curved tusks and thick, shaggy fur, which provided insulation against cold climates. They were herbivores and primarily fed on grasses and sedges.
Extinction: Likely due to a combination of climate change and overhunting by early humans.
Smilodon (Saber-toothed Cat)
Time Period: Lived during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago.
Habitat: Found in the Americas, from North to South America.
Characteristics: Known for its large, curved canine teeth, which could reach up to 7 inches long. They were robustly built with powerful forelimbs, likely used to bring down large prey.
Extinction: Extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and the decline of large prey animals.
Megalodon (Otodus megalodon)
Time Period: Lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago during the Early Miocene to the Pliocene epochs.
Habitat: Inhabited warm, coastal waters around the world.
Characteristics: One of the largest and most powerful predators in vertebrate history, with teeth over 7 inches long and a body length estimated at up to 60 feet.
Extinction: Likely due to cooling ocean temperatures, a decline in prey species, and competition with other marine predators like early whales.
Titanoboa
Time Period: Lived around 60 million years ago during the Paleocene epoch.
Habitat: Lived in tropical rainforests of what is now northeastern Colombia.
Characteristics: The largest snake ever discovered, reaching lengths of up to 42 feet and weighing over a ton. It likely preyed on large fish and possibly crocodiles.
Extinction: Likely due to changes in climate and habitat as the Earth cooled and rainforests gave way to more temperate environments.
Dinosaurs
Time Period: Lived during the Mesozoic Era, from about 230 to 66 million years ago.
Habitat: Found worldwide, in a variety of environments from deserts to forests.
Characteristics: Varied greatly in size and form, including bipedal and quadrupedal species, carnivores and herbivores. Notable species include Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor.
Extinction: Most species went extinct about 66 million years ago, likely due to a combination of volcanic activity, climate change, and the impact of a large asteroid or comet.
Early Primates
Time Period: The earliest primates appeared around 65 million years ago, during the Paleocene epoch.
Habitat: Lived in forested environments.
Characteristics: Small, arboreal mammals with adaptations for climbing, such as grasping hands and feet, and large brains relative to body size. Examples include Purgatorius and Teilhardina.
Evolution: Early primates eventually gave rise to the diverse range of primate species, including monkeys, apes, and humans.
Elasmotherium (Giant Rhinoceros)
Time Period: Lived during the Late Pliocene to the Late Pleistocene, around 2.6 million to 29,000 years ago.
Habitat: Found in Eurasian steppes, from the Don River in Russia to Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and northern China.
Characteristics: Known as the "Siberian unicorn," it had a large, single horn on its forehead, was covered in shaggy fur, and was about 16 feet long and 6.5 feet tall at the shoulders.
Extinction: Likely due to climate change and habitat alteration.
Pulmonoscorpius (Giant Scorpion)
Time Period: Lived during the Carboniferous period, approximately 345 to 330 million years ago.
Habitat: Inhabited warm, humid environments, likely in swampy forests.
Characteristics: One of the largest scorpions ever, growing up to 28 inches in length. Likely had a predatory lifestyle, feeding on insects and small vertebrates.
Extinction: Became extinct as climates dried and the vast Carboniferous forests disappeared.
Sarcosuchus (SuperCroc)
Time Period: Lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 112 to 93 million years ago.
Habitat: Inhabited river systems in what is now Africa and South America.
Characteristics: One of the largest crocodyliforms, reaching up to 40 feet in length. It had a long, narrow snout filled with sharp teeth, and likely preyed on large fish and possibly dinosaurs.
Extinction: Likely due to changes in the environment and competition with other large predators.
