Didn't have two headed marine reptiles and dinosaur mummies on your bingo card, did ya?

Step aside Vampires, your teeth are no match for the sabertoothed...cats. But did you know the cats weren't the only ones to evolve saber-teeth? Nor were they even the first...

When it comes to dinosaurs, bigger always means scarier right? No, and not even close, as this one family of theropod has proved, who might just be just about the worst group of dinosaurs you could ever fathom getting snatched by. If this episode gives you a sense of dejavu, it's because this is a modernized, improved version of an older episode. Enjoy :)

Turns out that skull island really isn't that far fetched...

Turns out the story of Atlantis is more realistic than you once thought If you want to support the podcast consider checking out my merch :) https://store.extinctzoo.org/

They too like to move it, move it

Animals are pretty metal today, and of the many kinds that exist, we mammals are pretty cool, but how do we stack up against the 'coolest' group ever, the dinosaurs? Welcome to the Dino/Mammal Olympic.

If you thought the Nile crocodile was scary, wait until you hear about the Cuban crocodile - hunter of megafauna, and galloper of lands.

If you thought great whites were bad, just wait until you hear about these guys...

Amber might not be able to bring back dinosaurs, but what it can do might be even more impressive...

Looks like Simba's got some explaining to do

Dinosaurs may have fallen 66 million years ago, marking the end of an era and ushering in an age which would eventually come to be known as the age of mammals. But the journey to get there wasn't as simple as some might believe...

Think you know camels? Think again. They didn’t come from deserts, their humps don't hold water, and they're certainly not the boring pack animal you've heard about - these are freaks turned mammals. Wild camel conservation group: https://www.wildcamels.com/

If you thought 1000 ways to die was bad, wait until you hear about these prehistoric guys...

Beneath Germany’s shale, workers uncovered fossils that shouldn’t exist...or at least it would seem so. Instead what was found was proof of evolutions strangest (but perhaps most logical) habit.

Deep in a South African cave, scientists uncovered a human species unlike any other - small, strange, and seemingly out of place in time. Who were they, what were they doing there, and why do their bones tell such a baffling story? Meet Homo naledi, the mystery buried in the dark.

Immortality, wouldn't it be nice? Well, for some animals out there, they don't actually have to wonder, as thanks to some nifty evolution, they have in some ways figured out how to beat death!

All your perfect first date icebreakers in less than 21 minutes, what more could you ask for?

Dun dun… dun dun… dun dun dun dun

Warm breeze, palm trees, and good ol crocodiles, just some of the things you might imagine when picturing a tropical paradise, and yet I am talking about Antartica, confused? Well, I am not talking about it now but as it was millions of years ago, when earth was completely iceless, and let me tell you this is just the tip of the iceberg, pun intended

Say cheeseeee

When an animal is declared extinct, we generally think that's the last we'll ever see of them. And most of the times this is true, but there are a handful of animals out there who have been declared extinct, but in reality might actually be roaming the earth as we speak...

Humans are a wild wild bunch, I am sure you know that, and even so I guarantee that these archeology discoveries will have you scratching your head on why on earth any would would do such things.

There's just something about islands, that goes hand in hand with spookiness, especially when it comes to animals. And of all the islands to have existed, its this one that might just take the cake of being the strangest.
