10 Terrifying Prehistoric Creatures We Should See In A Movie

With this creature, we are going in a slightly different direction, that still maintains a sense of fear but ultimately is not exceptionally as threatening as the other entries in this article.

Many people dislike rodents, and this monster gains the right to be called the most massive known species within that category, so plenty of people would have a problem with it. The Josephoartigasia Monesi reached a staggering estimated median weight of 900kg, which officially cements it as the largest rodent to have ever lived.

While this giant beast may have been a herbivore, that doesn't mean that it didn't pose a threat. Much like the rhinoceros of the modern-day, its diet did not mean it wasn't capable of strong defence, as the beast had to protect itsel against terror birds and sabre-tooth cats. Many estimated figures predict the bite force of this creature, and the results end up being three-times as powerful as the force of a modern-day tiger.

This monster would make a great addition to the silver screen, as it is a creature full of personality and an individual presence that would contrast anything we have ever seen before. It might be tough to present what is essentially a giant chinchilla as a terror, but it has the potential to be.
