I can’t imagine how exhilarating it must’ve been as a Godzilla fan or Toho exec seeing this for the first time in 2014. Absolute game changer.

Somewhere in Pleistocene South Africa, a quagga crosses a river in an attempt to rescue a foal caught by a leopard. Unfortunately, there's leopards in the water too... Apparently colder climate allowed leopard seals to roam South African waters during the last ice age....

Mr.SpringJunkie Hi, may I suggest a large descendant of feral domestic cats that is similar in size and ecology to the African lion and has dark yellow fur with thick blotchy pattern of the king cheetah and lives in prides on the tropical savanna of the future Northern Australia?

One never stops to wonder what the smallest felid able to hunt primates is. Well as it happens, it is the housecat... I wonder if there's record of them hunting monkeys (for example, small platyrhines in South America...)

@TheBrutalNature This is awesome. I won't be surprised if this one of those feral cats in Australia. Many domestic cats in Australia were released into the wild. They became apex predators as they were an invasive specie and were not prey for other animals. There. their descendants have

Forced to the beach by approaching orcas, a young Ontocetus ends up as prey for a giant homothere... Inspired by an old estimate of up to 400 kg for a Homotherium crenatidens a fossil of which was recovered from the North Sea. If so it would make it one of the largest cats ever!

An 8-min video of a hand-to-hand battle to death between a Yakutian soldier from Siberia & a Ukrainian soldier went viral today The Russian managed to reach for his knife & survived It was made ever more shocking by them speaking to each other with respect in the final moments

You've heard of Thylacosmilus but have you heard of Thylophorops, the bobcat-sized, highly predaceous opossum that lived in South America during the Pliocene? At c. 10 kg it was over ten times bigger than the most predaceous opossum alive today, the lutrine opossum (Lutreolina)!
