Dunkleosteus


Dunkleosteus was a prehistoric fish. It was one of the largest artrodire placoderms ever to live durind the Late Devonian period about 380-360 million years ago. It measured up to 10 meters (33 feet). It's weight was 3.6 tonnes (4.0 short tons). They were large, carnivorous, and dangerous predators. 

It was a powerful swimmer. It was cannibalistic. It was an armoured fish. They didn't have any teeth so instead they had two sharp bony plates, it had a beak-like structure. It had the second most powerful bite of any fish in the world (the megalodon had the strongest bite).


These are very interesting powerful, terrifying, and armoured creatures from the past!!!
