The phonosaur is similar in appearance to modern cats, but it is also different. Dinosaurs have inherited some of the characteristics of the saber-toothed tiger, but they do not have long teeth. It is a creature in prehistoric times that is now extinct. Although it belongs to the other species of saber-toothed tigers, it still has some disadvantages compared to saber-toothed tigers in terms of skills. So why did the dinosaur go extinct?
First, the appearance of the dinosaur cat
The teeth of the dinosaur are sharp and short, and although they are not as developed as the saber-toothed tiger, they are much more convenient than the saber-toothed tiger in hunting. Because it looks similar to a saber-toothed tiger, it also has the title of "pseudo-saber-toothed tiger". The dinosaur is about 2 meters long, about 1 meter high at the shoulders, and its body is covered with markings.
2. Why are the dire cats extinct?
More than a million years ago, also because of environmental and climatic reasons, the dinosaur became extinct. From biologists' fossilized bones of dire cats, it is known that as early as the Ice Age, the sudden warming of the Earth's climate led to disasters. At that time, the dinosaur was facing a huge existential crisis, and it did not escape that ordeal and survived.
The dinosaur is the natural enemy of Australopithecus, it looks like a cat, but the ferocity is not what we can imagine. Its sharp teeth can prey on Australopithecus australopithecus in minutes, and can easily bite open its skull. Many people question whether the dinosaur really feeds on humans, in fact, biologists have seen its tooth marks from the fossilized skull of Australopithecus, and Australopithecus is a relatively early ape, so it also shows that the dinosaur feeds on humans. Therefore, it is not natural enemies that cause the extinction of the dinosaur, but the cause of the climate.
3. The horror of the cat dread
It is said that there are still some people who are afraid of cats, which is called catophobia in psychoanalytic terms. Even nowadays cats have become quite docile, people are still afraid of being bitten or scratched by it, which is an underlying fear that cannot be eliminated.
Of course, such fears are not unreasonable. Because the moat looks sick during the day, but at night it is their prey time. Our distant ancestors slept at night, and it was also the time when their preparedness was at their worst. That's when they're coming. Hit the vital position directly and bite Australopithecus to death. It is conceivable that the ancestors at that time lived a frightened and powerless life.
