Madtsoia the giant snake, about 15-20 meters in length. How to kill their prey with large snakes in general, twisting and crushing the bones of its prey to death. This predator had become ruler of reptiles for a very long time, until finally disappeared 45 million years ago.

2. Dunkleosteus 
  
Dunkleosteus is a prehistoric fish that lived about 380 million years ago, regarded as the greatest sea creatures in his time.

With up to 10 meters long, weighing about 3.5 tons, armed with strong jaws, which may be biting objects with metal ones. The Dunkleosteus eat everything that is the sea, even the smaller members of their own species.


3. Sea Scorpion
 
Although his name is known as 'sea scorpion', but its the fact they do not live at sea. His name is officially called the Eurypterid. Its peak at 3 meters long over and eventually became extinct about 250 million years ago.

4. Argentavis
Argentavis is the largest bird ever found. Argentavis can literally translates to "bird Argentina extraordinary". Perhaps because the South American section of predators live.

Physical form almost like a bird glider, much like the Condor bird today, but with a cruising speed much better.


5. Terror Bird



   
Included in the family Phorusrhacidae (species of carnivorous birds that fly into the dominant predators in South America). But Terror bird can not fly, he can only run so fast to catch prey.

Terror bird has the head with a length of one meter and half like an eagle with a large size, giving the possibility to swallow seeokor horse with great ease.

7. Therizinosaurus

Therizinosaurus is not a predator, a very large physical form remains a record in itself. When first discovered fossils in the 1950s, an estimated Therizinosaurus is a reptile that resembles a giant tortoise. Although it is unclear that Therizinosaurus are herbivores.

Therizinosaurus has a small skull on a long neck and three-meter-long claws on both front feet. Claws has the function to fight to defend its territory or mating and to achieve a leafy tree branches.

Has a body length up to 15 meters, weight 45 000 kg and 30 centimeters long with teeth (his teeth even more powerful than Tyrannosaurus), making a bite 10 times stronger than the current predator and four times more powerful than Tyrannosaurus.

There is one more fact that makes this a scary creature, Predator X only uses its two fins to swim, the other two may serve to capture prey.


9. Liopleurodon
 
Such as the Predator X, including the family Pliosaur Liopleurodon (marine reptiles from the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods). Liopleurodon is also a carnivorous marine reptile that has a very large size, with a body length of 1.5 to 10 meters.

This giant has four legs resembling a large and powerful paddle, making it a good swimmer with exceptional speed.

Liopleurodon regarded as the ruler of the sea in the era of the early Jurassic and Cretaceous because of excluding the largest predator of its time.
