Purussaurus - Ancient Animal 

Like you I was greatly surprised that Purussaurus wasn't from the mesozoic.

Absaloutley brilliant video pal🇬🇧👍

Anyone else notice the Skyrim music

Thanks it’s my favorite prehistoric crocodilian

I hope someday someone can make a figurine of this animal or make a fossil replica because this animal is underrated because when we think of prehistoric crocodilians we think of super croc and deinosuchus. And it’s like everyone just forgot about it

Purussaurus is a an example of convergent evolution it was similar to many other big sized crocs in the Miocene.

I'm so amazed by how big they actually were. It's amazing how sarcosucuses skull was found just to show how big they really we're. I was so blown away from the news article that came out. I really wonder what they were like as a parent to there young? Thankyou for your videos it's 👍 great!!!!!🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🌹🎄

Purussaurus: The tyrant caiman.

That would give Dino's nightmares.

Pop Culture: "T tex has the strongest bite force of any terrestrial animal" Purussaurus: "That's cute"

Given that caimans are often thought of as mini versions of alligators and crocodiles (even though the black caiman is one of the largest crocodilians on earth), many might find it ironic that the biggest crocodilian of all time was a caiman.

Yes! The King of the Crocodilians. Hopefully you can do Megistotherium next.

Actually, Momentum law,is mass times speed Sq and distance! So maybe it had a shorter snout was harder to brake,considering the size of its prey!

This thing is giant! I always thought sarcosuchus was the biggest. Great video, oh yeah can you do Utahraptor next?

I just found your channel a few days ago and I’m very glad I did. Your music choices are excellent; they’re relaxing and provoke fond memories.

Backround,be like skyrim.

Purrusaurus was a terrifying prehistoric crocodile. It would definitely kill hippos and other current top predators. Wouldn't doubt they would hurt killer whales too.

Purussaurus does appear to be heavier than other known crocodilians so to me he seems to be the biggest.

My favorite crocodilian of all time

I didn’t thinkTraveling in Water in this Era could’ve gotten worse . Leaving salt water to the “ safety “ of the rivers. Only to find this beast waiting for you.

It’s been apply that it could’ve rivaled or surpassed Tyrannosaurus rex and turns a bite force that’s that’s pretty scary for crocodilian if you ask me

Yay my fave Skyrim track! Haven't heard it for years. Great vid as well 😀

I really love this series that you’re doing! You’re very knowledgable and the videos are really informative and interesting to watch. The slideshow and music really helps to imagine what the environment was like with these giant monsters. Keep up the cool vids!! :)

Ik this is old but my point still stands "Bite force greater than T.rex" That's debatable, maybe in the original paper that suggested purussaurus bite force was 69,000 newtons, but that was already corrected to 52,000 newtons in 2015, approximately in the middle of the newest rex bite force estimates ( 35-65k newtons ). So it's safe to say the bite strengths overlapped. Although, purussaurus had a greater bite force pound to pound with tyrannosaurus, since it was only 6.2 tons in weight.

Too expensive to keep as a pet, but would make a great watch dog that no one would ever mess with. Just kidding!

I feel there had to be something more going on to kill off most Dinosaurs (except birds) because how did lizards, amphibians, and other temperamental animals survive the k9 extinction and the ice ages?

Good job!

I would love to see a video of Xenosmilus Hodsona ..the other sabertooth cat with robust teeth instead of fragile teeth. It was a large sabertooth with a bite like a great white shark. Called the"cookie cutter" cat because when it bit it took out large chunks of flesh and it's prey died quickly from blood loss or shock. The bones of this cat was discovered here in Florida near where I live and I am surprised most people have never heard of it. Possibly larger than the commonly known sabertooth cats..it was a killing machine. Large, strong, and muscled..it was a awesome creature and one not to be forgotten to history.

Why was everything so terrifying from the mesozoic to the last ice age

What's the music's name? 😍

Loving the Skyrim background music! Thumbs UP !

This video is blessed and it’s by far my favorite on RU-vid because you explained on how purussaurus would’ve travelled to sea and battled Livyatan, Megalodon and chubutensis.

The ancient world used to have giant crocodile. 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

A cold blooded reptile needing 90 pounds of meat a day, are you sure about that? Very cool creature, though.

"Now, 90 pounds of food a day may not seem like a lot" Because, for its size, its really not. The caiman weighed as much as an elephant which require 400 pounds of food a day. Purussaurus didn't even require a quarter of the food that an elephant needs. I believe it sat quite comfortably in its niche as an apex because it had the sheer size and immense bite force to eat *any* prey animal on the landscape, be it from giant turtles or ground sloths. That's honestly what makes this actual "Lake Placid" such a cool animal to me as it was the unquestionable king of northern Miocene South America, and that entire part of the continent was essentially its dinner plate.

Now that would be interesting if this animal would see Megalodon and leviathan Siri go to clash of the three titans a crocodilian a shark and a whale but i probably doubt it I hope someone can make a fossil replica tooth of this animal

Purussaurus actually lived for most of the Miocene, not just 20 million years ago.

fantastic video love your work

Oh yeah not to mention Saltwater crocodiles can also go into fresh and saltwater as well

It’s been implied that it was 50 or 60 feet long purrusaurs vs Titanoboa

Sounds like Skyrim

Just found your channel today have been binge watching it all day, I have watched all of try the explainers videos, could you do one on my favorite the sarco

Ah yes. Next needs to be Saurophaganax.

Caimans: “those were the glory days”

I think the shape of its snout was to accommodate the hunting of mainly terrestrial animals as opposed to the shape of Sarcosuchus, similar to the modern Gavial, which is long and thin for catching fish.

The true Lake Placid And it's even better than Lake Placid 3 and 4.

Stumbled across your channel the other day, I love it. Also the drawings are grand, North 02 Keep up the good work squire.

Woah skyrim

Are they bigger than Deinosuchus and Sarasuchus

Blunt nose = He wasn't just eating fish

0:48 nah, why them tooth poking out them nose?

An encounter with this kind of animal is greatly devastating!

Awesome music selection

The Earth today seems kind of lame to our prehistoric past was pretty funny lol!!! I completely agree with you but I'm glad we're around when we are. Otherwise we would have just been lunch dinner and an hors d'oeuvre. I liked your video and I liked your style keep it up thank you for the entertainment

4:45 Ok,Purussaurs wasn’t from the Mesozoic era and I caught some sort of megalosaurus or iguanodon some sort of thing but that’s just isn’t accurate,I apologise if it’s a postosuchus

They were on the Flintstones!haha!

These are three species croc that has ever bigger and stronger rules in the world. 1. Sarcosuchus 2. Deinosuchus 3. Purussaurus

The crocodile was fun for a while, do an alligator later

Why complain about not using metruc system??? Why can't you learn what an inch is and figure out how many inches are in a foot? I'm stupud and I did it. This video is awsome. Bugger off if you don't like the video don't watch it. Not many people even speak of this animal. Why can't everyone just accept that and be grateful they can even see and hear a video about this extinct caiman??? I love it.

So hecking good man

I've heard others say the strongest bite force was tyrannosaurus or megalodon.

This is an excellent channel!!! 👍😎

This thing is in the geolocation based game Jurassic world alive along with sarcosuchus and a plethora of other ancient creatures along with hybrids that lean towards the Jurassic world franchise but non the less things like smilodon dire wolf arctodus carnotaurus giganato spinosaurus among other beautiful ancient creatures check it out

I really enjoy your videos. Well done

Well good thing humans evolved when the giants went bye bye.

Rock On Brutha 🤘

Is that the Skyrim song in the background?

Cool stuff

Bite force stronger than T-Rex?

It's bite force is stronger than the T. rex? You're joking. T. rex has the strongest bite force of all terrestrial animals

Can you cover megaloceros the giant elk?

And I didn’t know that caimans are ovriveries sorry for my spelling

I disabled my adbock to watch this video

All the videos I've watched today on your channel have at some point go blurry like a censor blur over whatever image you're showing for a brief period then goes away. I am watching older videos but I'm sure if this is something new or mistake you made while making these videos but I don't think so cause it's been so many videos that I've watched

This are 3 species type of croc is the largest and strongest prehistory croc that had ever existed and rules to the world.

wait how big was the Supecroc that fought Titanoboa how big was that ?

Pussysaurus

That's a chunky boi.

Purrusaldasaurus FTW! Which in my language comes to mean "leek soup lizard". Probably a wimpy vegan, right? ;p

Did Purussaurus cross pass with Quinkana would they fight?

Why is there blank areas in your videos? The last 3 videos had some part go blank in them.

iFunny brought me here

If you'd use the metric system you'd probably have 7 million subscribers instead of 700

Deinosuchus next ?

Crocodile is crocodile

Nice Skyrim music

One of my great ancestors

I thought you said previously thar Trex had the biggest bite force of any animal.

It was good

It is said that Purrusaurus is considered a caiman.

"lame"?

And this is when a giant jaguar enters the fight

✨🏆🏆🏆✨

This guy is good I’ve been listening to his videos for the pasta 48 hours

3:21 what kind of mammals are those?

It didn’t eat fish

🐊🐊🐊 neat video and topic as always

Purussaurus actually competed with titanoboa.

✨🏆🏆🏆✨

Its a crocodile
