Ancient Creatures before Humans Existence

Many ancient creatures went extinct long before humans appeared.

Here are some notable examples:

1.Dinosaurs: The most famous group of ancient reptiles, dinosaurs dominated the Earth for about 165 million years before their mass extinction around 66 million years ago.

2.Woolly Mammoths: While they lived alongside early humans, they became extinct around 4,000 years ago, long after the last dinosaurs had disappeared.

3.Saber-toothed Cats (Smilodon): These large predators thrived during the Pleistocene epoch but went extinct around 10,000 years ago.

4.Megalodon: This massive prehistoric shark lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago and is believed to have gone extinct due to changes in ocean temperatures and prey availability.

5.Pterosaurs: These flying reptiles existed during the age of dinosaurs but went extinct around the same time as the dinosaurs.

6.Trilobites: These marine arthropods thrived for over 270 million years before going extinct around 250 million years ago during the Permian-Triassic extinction event.

7.Ammonites: These shelled cephalopods flourished in the oceans for over 300 million years before going extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period.

8.Giant Ground Sloths: These enormous herbivores roamed the Americas and went extinct about 10,000 years ago, likely due to climate change and habitat loss.

9.Mastodons: Similar to woolly mammoths, mastodons lived in North America and became extinct around 10,000 years ago.

10.Irish Elk: Known for their enormous antlers, these large deer lived until about 7,700 years ago.

These creatures represent just a fraction of the diverse life forms that existed on Earth long before humans arrived.
