Your average domesticated wolf is as demanding to feed, that's why domesticated pic-related as livestock for more meat and less work to get it.

The wolf is 4 times smaller in the picture. That said the big dog could also hunt for himself on his spare time.

>Favourite Extinct Animals

You could show me any extinct elephant and I'd go "hell yeah", but I do have a distinct fondness for the Gomphotherium. Simultaneously generic, but unique in it's own discreet fashion, wildly successful and well distributed across the planet, and the progenitor to most other elephants.
I'm also somewhat obsessed with Toxodon since I think the fact they evolve "vaguely" into hippos and rhinos in the vacuum of South America to be interesting. That the biosphere *needed* something like a pachyderm that it was going to make it out of a rodent or whatever if possible.

A megalodon wouldn't be all that different from sharks you see today. Only bigger. There's way more interesting things.

It's funny because the leading theory as to Megalodon's extinction was that the only thing more evolutionary perfect than a giant shark was a smaller exact copy of that shark that outcompeted it.
>>
>>5051920
That's not it. Megalodon died out when the ice age began. Whales had a sanctuary at the poles where they could retreat to and megalodon basically starved to death as it deserves the son of a bitch.

I had a dream where I saw a giant barbarian riding a paraceratherium like a horse so I told chatgpt to make a picture of it

I wish i could see an actual Iguanodon, all the depictions at the same time confuse me, some are more aladar/hadrosaur like while others are more ape like
>>
>>5052518
That's retarded, great whites are already pretty much endothermic, and megalodon would have been so large that it could have been beyond comfortable with pure gigantothermy. Doesn't pass the sniff test.
>>
>>5051880
>Its skull is as big as that on some theropod dinosaurs.
our skull is a hundred times the size of some theropod dinosaurs' skulls, too. I suggest being more specific next time, vague statements like this are annoying imo.

The megalodon jaw just doesn't hold weight. It's literally great white scaled up. It's not in the realm of possibilities. I would believe there is 1 giant female great white "mothership" that gives birth to all great whites before I believed it had an upscaled relative with identical jaw structure.
>>
>>5050258
Reading this korean webtoon that shows lots of obscure prehistorical animals, never thought that I'd ever see a toxodon in any media. I also liked how in the first arc that takes place in the cretaceous the author chose tho show a denversaurus instead of it's most famous ankylosaur relative.
