Anomalocaris: The First Super-Predator


They were the very first animals to live in the sea.  And they were the first animals to have eyes.  Also, it ate trilobites.  It was a very long creature.  It was two... meters long.  And also, it's jaws, the weird wavy-like thingys near their mouths... sort of... they were as sharp as kitchen knives.  Also, they were pretty big.  Sometimes, when it's spine got broken... I mean, it doesn't have a spine... sometimes when it's back armor gets bent too far back and breaks, our ancestors with spines will dig into the flesh and get a small meal.

Anyway, the second super-predator was brontoscorpian.  Here's a picture down here.  (Get a picture, Mom.)

The only thing is that brontoscorpian did have a predator.  It looks like a giant crab, but it is the size of a crocodile.  <<Ben whispers, "Picture Mom."... "What was it called again, Mom?"  "Pterygotus," I reply after looking it up and stumbling through the pronunciation.  "Pterygotus, Pterygotus, Pterygotus," Ben repeats as I post the picture below.>>


It also ate scorpions.  Oh, and also, I forgot one more predator of the sea scorpions.  It's like a... umm, ahhh, ummm.... Oh, I know!  It's kinda like a giant squid inside a cone.
The Ninth Most Deadliest Sea: the Caribbean Ocean!
The Eight Most Deadliest Sea: ???? Put a bunch of question marks here.
The Seventh Most Deadliest Sea: Armored Fish Sea!  Hold on, no, that's the wrong sea.  Boy, I've been really traveling to the dinosaur times way too much maybe.
The Sixth Most Deadliest Sea: ???? Same thing (Makes question mark motion in air.)
The Fifth Most Deadliest Sea: Armored Fish Sea!
The Fourth Most Deadliest Sea: ????
The... Hold On!  Go back to the Fourth One!
The Fourth Most Deadliest Sea: Megalodon Ambush!
The Third Most Dangerous Sea: Hold on, I know it, it's.... just put a question mark for now... NO!  The Triassic!
The Second Most Dangerous Sea: ?
The First Most Dangerous Sea: <<Ben made a movie reference here.  "That's a movie?" he asked.  "Yeah," chimed in his sister.>>

I just want to share one more of my favorite animals from the life before dinosaurs.  It's called Hyneria.  

<<Ok, and I assume you want me to put in another picture?  "Yeah.">>


That's all!


<<Ben has once again been enjoying his collection of the BBC's "Walking with" series.  Today, he was enjoying, "Walking with Monsters: Water Dwellers."  We HIGHLY recommend the entire series for all ages!  Well, maybe not toddlers and the like.  You can find the DVDs online.>>
