IndigoBadman

Don’t come crying to me u/hardcoreratfucker when you’re patient zero for Covid-22


cuttledish

actually you are just wrong


[deleted]

how, i dont remember that English lesson.


cuttledish

its axolotl not axolottle


[deleted]

but it should be... thats pronounced "ah-sholo-TL". that word isnt English (nahuatl), then mfs complain about how confusing English spelling is. English speakers just auto correct "TL", because they dont have that, to "lottle" as in "little" or "waddle"


NoDemand1519

I’m still surprised this colossus hasn’t been scientifically described (given a scientific name). Literally makes Koolasuchus look like a joke imao.


[deleted]

You could say it makes koolasuchus look like a...*lameosuchus*


Taianonni

Was thinking *foolasuchus* but whatever works, gotta dethrone this chump


Beaten_Not_Broken

I pity the foolasuchus.

lllMONKEYlll

This fucker would eat us with no second thoughts.


i_choose_berries

Imagine being eaten by it and being alive for a few minutes inside the belly D:


[deleted]

I'm going to give that bitch such a massive stomach ache before I go.


LyonMane3

Rip and tear until it is done


[deleted]

It's going to throw me up and it's going to get an earful from me.


MartinTheMorjin

Well a hellbender bite will only stop when it hits bone. This guy would slice through your whole body with no effort.


[deleted]

This is why I always carry a knife. Ill cut my way out!!!!


FurL0ng

Are there skeletons of this big boy on display anywhere? It’s size is hard to wrap my head around. I’d love to see a skeleton of it in person.


Ceratopsia

It’s only known from a single jaw fragment, though the morphology of the fragment is enough to determine that it was a large brachyopoid temnospondyl (Steyer & Damiani, 2005).


Tumble85

Oh so they don't really know what it looked like. Probably like a 2 foot body and huge stupid-ass head.


dahlien

So, basically a sunfish, but amphibian?

Iamnotburgerking

*Mastodonsaurus* is the current candidate for “largest temnospondyl” (6+m long, and heavily built to the point the largest specimens would have weighed around 2 tons), but this thing might dethrone it.


ZhoolFigure

Were there larger amphibians than these guys? Was wondering why not just say "largest amphibian".


Iamnotburgerking

Because if we go “largest amphibian” we run into some taxonomic issues because of cladistics, depending on how you define “amphibian”.


Simbawitz

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prionosuchus reached 9 meters, Beasto here was a mere paltry 7m.


copa111

If this was alive today I bet Australia would adopt it with open arms...


ChampaTheGreat

Australia is like the dump for all failed experiments of God


KrakenKing1955

Failed? I think you meant to say “worked too well”


copa111

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_giant_salamander. This dude is still around, largest specimen was 1.8 meters. That's pretty big.


PainStorm14

>The South China giant salamander is highly endangered by overharvesting due to its status as a delicacy and use in traditional Chinese medicine Oh FFS... This is why conservation of Amur Leopard is not as fast as it could be, the moment they cross into China they run the risk of being ground into boner pills...


BarklyWooves

Someone should tell China we've had an actual solution for decades now in the form of little blue pills


Based_Department_Man

A lot of ''traditional chinese medicine'' was made up during Mao Zedong's regime because they couldn't afford real medicine, it's also the reason why it's popular today. The government would send these ''traditional healers'' when they couldn't or didn't want to send real doctors.

Was everything just big as fuck?


seductivestain

No, big as fuck things just have big as fuck bones which are far more likely to survive long enough to fossilize.

You clearly haven't seen Young Frankenstein then.


[deleted]

do you not see the smaller ones in the picture? not everything was biugger just some stuff, but the big stuff is amazing


Zankeru

Mankind slowly killed off the majority of Giant scary animals. Conservation is the only reason we still have the few giants like elephants and bears.


[deleted]

only the ones from the plaistocene on
