There are some predators rather you would not want to run on a journey of nature. But did you know that predators today are nothing compared to those that existed millions of years ago? Lions, tigers, bears, and sharks were their toys.
These prehistoric creatures ruled the earth and the sea. Every creature that came into contact with them was sure to regret it. They were impressive part, a horrible part (read: most horrible time). Bottom line :. We should be thankful that they are not around these days
