What creatures of the past you are glad are no longer around? Dan
PS. Me? Dunkleosteus. That was one scary looking fish.

Mighty incisors! Definitely megaladons. Being "critically endangered" wouldn't cut it.
|
| Cacique Caribe | 13 Dec 2017 10:53 p.m. PST |
Yikes! Good thing the Megalodon was a deep water monster … and that it's also extinct. Dan |

The occasional Shark Week begs to differ! |

Glad flying bugs with 6 ft wingspans are extinct…bad enough with the big Michigan mosquitos we have! |
| GreenMountainBoy | 14 Dec 2017 4:51 a.m. PST |
… I just think about what my lawn would look like after a herd of brontosaurus wandered through… |
| Patrick R | 14 Dec 2017 5:00 a.m. PST |
All the pests, disease-carrying critters and strains of bacteria and viruses that could have gone nasty if they ever existed concurrently with humans. |

I gripe about all the wild hogs tearing up my place but I'm very happy I don't have to contend with things that are big, fast and have large teeth. |

| Winston Smith | 14 Dec 2017 7:16 a.m. PST |
Megaladon was my first thought too. |
| mjkerner | 14 Dec 2017 7:46 a.m. PST |
Why is everyone worried so much about sea creatures…stay out of the water! T-Rex and other raptor types would be my vote. |
 etotheipi  | 14 Dec 2017 7:50 a.m. PST |
For me it's women with feathered hair and bell bottoms. |
| Stryderg | 14 Dec 2017 8:17 a.m. PST |
Disco. Oh, you said creatures. Sorry. |
| Wackmole9 | 14 Dec 2017 8:23 a.m. PST |
Ok Land animal choice is daeodon
That is some mean Bacon |

I am glad my ex girlfriend is not around anymore. She definitely turned into a creature. Phil |
 Legion 4 | 14 Dec 2017 8:56 a.m. PST |
Yeah … anything that big … does not need to be around today. Albeit most would be an easy kill with the right high tech weapons we have today !  E.g. Kronosaurus wouldn't do very well vs. a Mk.48 torpedo …  |
| Olivero | 14 Dec 2017 11:44 a.m. PST |
I wish they would all be still around…. Ok, not the monster Bugs. …. |

I hate spiders creep my right out so I am very grateful this thing is no longer around The ancestors of our modern mesothelae, a sub-order of spiders, could have been the size of a human head. "If it was alive today, it would be hunting cats". YouTube link |

It would be cool to have wolly mammoths around, but saber tooth tigers not so much |
| Legion 4 | 15 Dec 2017 7:30 a.m. PST |
They are trying to clone Wolly Mammoths … So I can see that. But we all know what happens when you clone dinosaurs …  Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming. |
| Cacique Caribe | 15 Dec 2017 1:59 p.m. PST |
And someone is also working on cloning the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger). Dan |
| Legion 4 | 16 Dec 2017 8:29 a.m. PST |
Yes, I heard that. I also heard there have been sightings of him again in that region … Should be interesting either way, IMO … |
| 14Bore | 16 Dec 2017 2:00 p.m. PST |
Its my understanding there isn't 1 dinosaur cell left on the planet, but there are lots of ice age animal cells of all kinds. |
| Legion 4 | 17 Dec 2017 7:36 a.m. PST |
If there was any "usable" Dino DNA found … for sure someone, somewhere would try to clone it, etc. Regardless of what happens in the movies, like Jurassic Park, etc., … |
| brass1 | 17 Dec 2017 10:00 a.m. PST |
And someone is also working on cloning the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger). Seeing a real live example of the only known marsupial dog would be inconceivably cool but I suspect that my opinion might be different if I were a sheep rancher. I have similar, but infinitely stronger, feelings about Sarchosuchus imperator. Seeing a 40 foot long, 18000 pound crocodile would be epic, but just one and just once. LT |
| Cacique Caribe | 17 Dec 2017 7:25 p.m. PST |
LT: "Seeing a 40 foot long, 18000 pound crocodile would be epic, but just one and just once." Wow! Giant prehistoric crocs? I think one look is all you'd get. Dan

| Legion 4 | 19 Dec 2017 7:14 a.m. PST |
He'd still be a bunch of shoes and luggage if he was hit by a couple of M1 MBT's 120 mm rounds ! |
| Bashytubits | 23 Dec 2017 3:35 p.m. PST |
Dan, that is a picture of an Alligator not a Croc, just saying. As far as things that need to go extinct, Lima beans, nuff said….

Just imagine if we still had giant eagles.
Their descendants still think we're on the menu:
Dan
PS. Golden eagle vs mountain goat:
|
| Legion 4 | 26 Dec 2017 7:23 a.m. PST |
Wow ! Now Dat'z a Big Frakk'n eagle !!!!! More like the size of a Condor, me thinks ! Would bring a whole new paradigm to Hitchcock's "The Birds" ! |
| Bowman | 27 Dec 2017 4:56 p.m. PST |
Dan, the eagle snatching the kid in the park is an animation made by three students. Never happened. link |
| Cacique Caribe | 10 Jan 2018 12:05 a.m. PST |
Wow, that's awesome! I wasn't completely sold on that clip, but still though it might be possible. Thanks for that link, Bowman. Dan |
| PVT641 | 10 Jan 2018 11:52 a.m. PST |
I feel bad for the goats. Screwed either way. |
| LORDGHEE | 11 Jan 2018 10:31 a.m. PST |
I was waiting out side for a friend when his mom let the begale out. the dog move out to the middle of the yard when an eagle came in to take it. I jump up and made bid and the dog roll over on back and bared teath. The eagle at about 5 feet over the dog pop it's wings and took off. biggest talons I ever saw,the size of my fingers! we both went back inside and after that the dog always looked around before he went out. L.C. New Mexico around 1995 |
| Cacique Caribe | 12 Jan 2018 11:37 p.m. PST |
I wonder what other animal bones people find on eagle nests. Dan |
