7 Mythical Creatures That Really Existed | Part-2

Well, whether it is the mythical animals of this era or the most dangerous mythical creatures of mythologies thousands of years ago They were not only in the mind of humans, but they used to roam in this world in reality. Well, this video is part 2 of my previous video on this topic. And in the last part, you gave a very good response. So watch this video completely. Friends, in Norse mythology, a giant wolf named Fenrir is very famous. And you must have seen the fictional version of this mythical wolf in Thor Ragnarok movie. Well, giant wolves like Fenrir have appeared in many other mythologies. Actually, you would have seen these giant wolves in the time of Ice Age 10,000 years ago. Yes, here I am talking about the dire wolves. They are said to be the generation of the largest wolves to evolve in this world. And for comparison, they were 25% better than the modern-day largest grey wolves in every respect. That's why the dire wolves easily hunted many megafauna of Ice Age. Anyway, when Ice Age was coming to an end, most of the megafauna that were part of their diet were also coming to an end. As a result, the dire wolves also became extinct. But the grey wolves that coexist with them are still alive. Because of which they hunt small animals. Well, in Hinduism, we have seen the mention of four tusk elephants many times. Like Indra's ride named Aravat And not only this, but such mythical elephants have also been mentioned in the famous Ramayana. Well, friends, 23 to 2 million years ago, when Megalodon was roaming in the sea, So during that time, the relatives of the four-toothed elephant named Gomphotheus were found in this world. It is believed that they used their lower teeth like a shovel to easily complete their herbivorous diet. By the way, while Gomphotheus was roaming in this world, By that time, we humans had evolved to the small-brained Homo erectus. Therefore, it is possible that the fossils of Gomphotheus must have inspired the mythological elements of Hinduism. Well, for many years, the tribal people living in the Amazon jungle have been seeing a monster named Mapinguari. They say that this monster has only one eye and a mouth in the stomach. In addition, the job of this monster is to protect the Amazon jungle. Now, according to scientists, this creature is only mythical. But we all know that during the Ice Age in the Amazon jungle, there used to be animals called Ground Sloth. And they also walked like a Mapinguari monster. Also, their size was as much as that of elephants. And this size is somewhat larger than the mythical Mapinguari. Anyway, we also know that by the end of the Ice Age, and along with it, the hunting of humans had made these animals extinct 11,000 years ago. Therefore, the Amazonian tribal people must have been telling their children the stories of Ground Sloth. And in the same thousands of years of stories, Ground Sloth became a mythical Mapinguari creature from a real animal. Or it could also be that in an unexplored jungle like Amazon, who knows Ground Sloth is still roaming. By the way, how will Ground Sloth come back to this world? I had already told you about this in my video. While the mention of Gryphons has been going on since the 5,000-year-old Mesopotamian mythology. And then they appeared in almost every mythology. In fact, from the beginning, we humans believe that the lion is the king of land animals, and the eagle is the king of the animals of the sky. Therefore, when the ancient people first found the fossils of Ceratopsian dinosaurs, they immediately imagined a mythical creature like Gryphon as a hybrid of Lion-Eagle. But who knew that only 700 years before present day, true Gryphons were found far away from humanity in New Zealand. Yes, the largest and most dangerous species of eagle in the world named Haast Eagle was no less than any Gryphon. Moreover, these giant eagles used to hunt the tallest birds of the world, Moa. By the way, the weight of Moa was around 250 kg, and the average human weight is 60 kg. Therefore, Haast Eagle does not have any problem in hunting humans. Anyway, around 1300 AD, when the Maori people came to New Zealand for the first time, the same Maori whom you must have seen Haakka dance recently, they completely hunted the main diet of Haast Eagle, Moa, and made it extinct. As a result, Haast Eagle also became extinct. Friends, if you have also seen the Doraemon cartoon in your childhood, then you will remember that we have been shown a mysterious creature named Kappa many times in it. Well, Kappa is a part of Japanese mythology in reality. According to Japanese people, this mythical creature looks like a giant turtle. And his favorite job is to kidnap children and drown humans in water and eat them raw. Well, if the turtle named Arkelon, which existed in the time of dinosaurs, was still alive, then maybe it would have been the same with humans as Kappa. The reason for this is that Arkelon is the largest generation of turtles ever discovered in the world, whose size was up to 15 feet. This size is equal to Honda Civic. By the way, Arkelon's diet was omnivorous like modern day turtles. And the strange thing is that these turtles also had a big beak like Kappa, whose job was to break the shell of hard animals. Around 1997, this sound was detected from the world's largest Pacific Ocean. This sound came from as far as the distance from Nepal to Japan. Well, in the beginning, scientists believed that only a deep sea creature could make such a sound. And to make such a sound, its size must be 100 times larger than a blue whale. And with this speculation, a modern mythical creature like Bloop began to appear in front of us. But yes, it was later revealed that it was the sound of some giant icebergs melting in the ocean in Antarctica. By the way, it would not be surprising if in the future, a creature like Bloop would be discovered from the 95% unexplored ocean. Because in the Jurassic period, Leedsichthys nami was the largest fish in the world. When it opened its mouth full of 40,000 teeth, it looked exactly like a mythical Bloop. And we humans were no less than a joke in front of its size. By the way, Leedsichthys was not a hunting fish, but it was a filter feeder like a baleen whale. Bovids are cattle, buffalo and bison. And such bovids have been shown in many mythologies with respect and giant. Like Greek mythology's famous Minotaur, the mythical monster. At the same time, giant bovids are considered very sacred among Native Americans and Hindus. But the question is, did a giant bovid really come to this world? So yes, in the coldest weather of Ice Age, the largest and heaviest bovids in the world, named Bison Latifrons, roamed the entire North American continent. Moreover, their size was as much as that of a SUV car. But even in the middle of their horns, a car could easily fit. By the way, Bison Latifrons evolved from steppe bison, a smaller species found in Europe and Asia 200,000 years ago. And steppe bison, which never ended in Siberia, are still discovered from the cold. While Bison Latifrons, along with their ancestors steppe bison, were extinct from this world due to human hunting.
