User blog:Stofferex/Da Hell? That was Real!? Ep. 2 - Andrewsarchus

Note:

'''And we're back! After a day I'm back to talk about another awesome creature that once roamed this earth. If you're curious about an undead creature, please comment down below. Now let's talk about one of my favorite extinct creaturs :D'''

_____________________________________________________________________________



 Now let me ask you, whats the biggest predatory land mammal? The Polar Bear you say?? That might be true... today. BUT... if I asked you this question around 45-40 million years ago, you would've been wrong. Cause the truth is... there was a gigantic creature named  '''Andrewsarchus. '''The creature was first discovered in the Gobi Desert, Asia, in 1923.











  This humongous creature stood around 2 meters tall and 6 meters long and weight around 1 ton, closely beating the Entelodont. Now this creature might look like a wolf of some sort but actually, you probably won't believe it but this creature was in fact an early version of... the whale. Yup, a long time ago, whales used to walk on land. In fact, Andrewsarchus' closest relative was another whale like creature named,  '''Pakicetus. '''Some scientists also believes that it didn't have claws, but instead hooves. Which most likely makes it the forefather to goats, hippos and other hoofed animals.



Now, even tho this creature was a whale on land that didn't stop them from being massive predators. With a 1 meter long jaw this beast could surely finish its prey in an instant. It's teeht was specially made for tear and cut flesh apart. But even then, scientists believe that Andrewsarchus mostly prefered badly wounded creaturs or even dead ones. And judging from its big nose, it most likely had an excellent sense of smell.

<p style="text-align:left;">The creature got its name from an famous explorer named Roy Chapman Andrews, who's in fact the director of the American Museum of Natrual History. He's known for being the one who discovered the first ever fossil dinosaur eggs.

<p style="text-align:left;">Andrews is known as the "real life Indiana Jones" since his discoveries and adventures was a huge inspiration for the movie.
