This is a list of 15 bizarre creatures and that if it were not for their fossils would be hard to believe that actually walked on this planet.

15 Deinotherium

deinotherium_small-tm

This kind of elephant as well as being enormous creatures, they also had a pair of tusks on the chin. Those arrested were really strange it is believed that they were used to dig the ground and have access to the roots and vegetables. They also had a relatively short trunk compared with other members. Were between 3.65 and 4.57 meters high.

14 Therizinosauridae

1243378744-therizinosaur300-tm

This family of strangers theropods are mysterious and certainly notable for their long necks and their large claws. However, unlike most other theropods, were herbivores (or at least mostly). Some of them may have had to penalties. Therizinosaurus' families, their claws measured over one meter in length.

13 Epidexipteryx

This bird dinosaur reveals an interesting part about the evolutionary history of birds. This member of Scansoriopterygidae ( "Wings of escalation") had no flight feathers, but had four long tail feathers. These feathers were probably used in exhibitions. Due to his age (who lived in China, about 152 to 168 million years ago), it provides evidence that feathers evolved millions of years before the flight. It was also one of the smallest dinosaur, reaching just 10 inches tall as an adult (not counting penalties). This is the size of a pigeon.
12 Epidendrosaurus
epidendrosaurus800pn0-tm
Another bird-dinosaur, it belonged to the same family as Epidexipteryx. Is currently the oldest dinosaur known to have adapted to life in trees, an important moment in the evolution of birds. More interestingly, this dinosaur had an unusually long third finger, twice the length of others. They may have been used to dig and search for insects.
11 Microraptor
microraptor_3_-tm
Yes another bird-dinosaur, the dinosaur had four wings (and tail feathers), although he could not fly. Instead, it is likely that floated from one place to another, as a sort of flying squirrel. It is likely that this creature is one of the most recent ancestors, their ability to soar, eventually evolved into flight.
10 Longisquama
longisquama-tm
Longisquama was a small lizard, a strange creature that seems to have had a series of long feathers on their backs. This leads us to believe that the birds may not have evolved from theropods.
9 Tanystropheus
tanystropheus-tm
When I refer to a reptile's long neck, most people think of sauropods, or plesiosaurs. The Triassic reptile was none of those. This reptile had more than 6 meters in length, evidence indicates that this reptile ate fish fossils were found in scales of fish and cephalopods in their stomachs. They could have stayed on the beach, using their long necks to help them eat the fish of the sea. It is also believed to have been semi-aquatic.
8 Sharovipteryx
sharovipteryx_bw-tm
Another reptilian glider, this small mosntro Triassic was similar to Microraptor. However, Sharovipteryx had two "wings" on its hind legs and two small "wings" on the front paws. He could have used their wings to jump from one place to another on the floor.
7 Nyctosaurus
nyctosaurus_final-tm
This kind of pterosaurs is the only one who has no claws on their wings. Otherwise, most of the species seemed to famous Pterodon ... until a new species not currently identified was discovered in 2003. The species had a huge horn as crest, more than any other crest of pterosaurs. Some speculate that there was a small tissue formation between the horns, like some other pterosaurs, which could have been used as a candle to increase the speed of flight. However, research shows that a large ridge would harm his escape, for it is most likely that only had a unique set of horns.
6 Pterodaustro
picture-1-139-tm
This pterosaur had an unusual set of teeth, similar to the fins of some whales. Almost certainly used these teeth to eat small aquatic organisms, similar to how a flamingo eat brine shrimp.
5 Dunkleosteus
img_0907-dunkleosteus-palaeozoic-era-devonian-period-tm One of the most frightening creatures ever to live in the ocean, the Devonian fish could grow up to 10.5 meters long, had a gun guy, and probably had one of the strongest bite in history! It used a beak like mouth instead of teeth for devouring its prey. It was one of the largest placoderms, a group of armored fish that are now extinct.
4 Stethacanthus
stethacanthus_bw-tm
Sharks but remained relatively unchanged over the fossil record, there are definitely some exceptions. This shark in particular had a dorsal fin-shaped anvil and a shield in the head. It is believed that the fin could have been used to cut the prey or for defense.
3 Helicoprion
helicoprion23d-tm
This really is a bizarre creature, experts have concluded that the curved shape of the teeth of this species of shark, it gave the fact that his old teeth gave way to new teeth, but instead of fall, the jaw of the shark grow and maintain teeth, so this strange way.
2 Deinocheirus
deinoe1-tm
The fossil of this dinosaur is a great question, because as we see in the picture he had a small body and huge arms, which are various opinions about the usefulness of these arms, some say it was to attack other dinosaurs, some for defense, and some still claim that it was to climb trees, this latter view is rejected by the majority. He should use his arms to move taking into account the size of your legs.
1 Amphicoelias fragillimus
800px-human-amphicoelias_size_comparison-tm
This fossil was discovered by the indescribable famous paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, the same man who competed with Othniel Charles Marsh in the infamous "Bone Wars". Cope discovered many prehistoricfossils, but this is by far the strangest. The only fossil that there was a single piece of vertebra. It was 1.52 meters tall, it is estimated that he was 2.74 meters tall, the entire fossil was intact. Compare this with the vertebrae. 8-O . Estimates vary, but they range between 39.92 and 59.74 meters long, making it by far the largest creature on earth, competing with the blue whale to be the creature heavier than ever (along with others, sauropd very fleeting, Bruhathkayosaurus). But unfortunately, the fossil has simply disappeared. He disappeared without a trace. It was a farce? A misunderstanding? That was really the largest animal that ever walked the earth? Unfortunately, we probably never know.
