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).

Brazil’s Cerrado might be the stranger, wilder, and more overlooked savanna hiding in plain sight.

The great lakes are probably the most famous group of lakes in the entire world, named for their...well great size. And yet these guys are tiny compared to an ancient lake that used to exist, that wasn't just bigger than them each, but also bigger then all of them combined (80 times over).

Earth used to be packed with giants, and somehow, in just the last few centuries, humans still managed to delete a shocking number of them.

The lower you go, the only weirder things become...

Prepare to have your mind blown by the absurdities that were the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are well known for being absolute units, so it may not come as too much of a surprise, that the largest animal to fly that was not a pterosaur, happened to be a dinosaur, go figure.

ewwwwwwwwwww

How Crocodiles Survived The Ice Age

If convergent evolution has taught us anything, its that some designs work over and over again, which is why its a bit strange that two places, the Arctic and Antarctic that are both known for being endless cold, have animals that look very different, right?
