What is one of the most interesting extinct animals that ever existed?

 Some that are interesting to me:

1 - Argentavis

It was the largest bird in history. It stood between 1.5 and 2 meters tall and had a wingspan that could reach 7 meters.

2 - Sarcosuchus

It was a giant crocodile, 10 to 12 meters long and weighing 3,500 to 4,300 kilos. The most interesting thing is that it coexisted with dinosaurs, meaning it had formidable enemies.

3 - Therizinosaurus

It was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period. It measured between 7 and 12 meters long, each arm was 2.5 meters long, and its single, scythe-shaped claw measured 70 centimeters at its outer curve. Its claws made it very popular among dinosaur enthusiasts and fans of Jurassic World.

4 - Titanoboa

Imagine a snake that's 13 meters long today. Interestingly, the Titanoboa ate crocodiles; it was truly the queen of snakes.

5 - Entelodon

Entelodon was a mammal similar in appearance to a wild boar that lived between 28 and 37 million years ago, measured 1.35 meters in height at the shoulders, with a skull 65 centimeters long.

6 - Eslamotherium

It is an extinct genus of large rhinoceros that lived in Asia and Russia. Its main characteristic is a single horn in the middle of its head, similar to a unicorn's. It is even called the Siberian unicorn.

What is the deadliest recently extinct animal?

 

Also known as Dinornite , it was a gigantic non-flying bird of prey that lived until 1500 in New Zealand.

It became extinct due to the reckless hunting that the natives of the area reserved for it, in search of fur , meat and eggs that the carcasses of the species offered.

It is a subspecies of the Moa , which generally had different sizes, the largest being - in fact - those of the Dinornite .

Specifically, these 'colossuses' measured up to 3.6 metres in height and could weigh up to 300 kg , with one of the

highest

sexual dysmorphisms in favour of the female gender ever recorded in nature (

280% ).
