10 Mythical Creatures That Actually Existed
Who doesn’t love a good story, especially ones which involve unbelievable, mythological creatures that
you wouldn’t remotely think are real. But, as history has proven, there is a basis for which these
creatures were thought up. Today, we will be looking at 10 mythical creatures that actually existed.
Number one will make you question whether middle earth was real or not so stay tuned for that.
Number 10. The Dire Wolf
Dire Wolves became widely popular when Game of Thrones hit the mainstream. These large wolves are
a constant companion of the Starks in the show, and are shown to be large, intelligent, and protective
creatures. They aren’t, however, merely just a figment of George RR Martin’s imagination. They are in
fact, based on real animals.
Dire wolves lived during the Pleistocene, between 250,000 to roughly 10,000 years ago. Unfortunately,
real dire wolves were not really the size of ponies. They were larger than modern wolves, though, and
could weigh as much as 200 pounds - almost twice what a very large modern wolf might weigh.
Their skulls are much larger compared to today’s modern wolves. Ironically though, their brains are
much smaller. However, if they had bigger brains, we probably wouldn’t have had amazing fossils of
them. Thousands of dire wolf fossils have been found in the La Brea tar pits. Scientists believe that they
were trapped there when they started feeding on the carcasses of other animals trapped in the tar.
Number 9. The Unicorn
Perhaps the earliest account of unicorns is by well-known Greek historian, Ctesias, who described a large
animal with a horn on its forehead in India. It’s quite possible that he saw a rhino from a distance and
thought it was a horse with horn on its head. But fossils unearthed in Siberia may have proven the
existence of this mythical creature.
Called the Siberian unicorn, it was 1.8 meters tall, over 4 meters long and weighed more than 4 tons. It
was covered in a shaggy coat and earned its nickname from the huge horn that grew out of its forehead.
Yes, it doesn’t quite resemble the classic unicorn of lore but so far, this is the closest that we can get to a
real one.
They were believed to have died out 350,000 years ago, but a discovery of a fossil in Kazakhstan
changed all that. Carbon dating test revealed the fossil to be only 29,000 years old. This means that the
animal roamed the earth 321,000 years longer than previously thought.
Number 8. The Komodo Dragon
Believe it or not, the Komodo Dragon was considered a mythical creature all the way up to 1910 when it
was first discovered. Prior to that, rumors were spreading that eight-foot-long, hundred pound
prehistoric lizards were living on a remote Indonesian island.
Wanting to prove or disprove the existence of these creatures himself, Dutch colonial official Lt. Steyn
van Hensbroek put together an expedition to Komodo Island. He was able to catch and kill a six-foot
specimen, and he sent the carcass as proof to the Zoological Museum and Botanical Garden at Bogor,
Java.
Seemingly not satisfied with the discovery, American explorer W. Douglas Burden decided to put
together an expedition himself, making up his mind to catch live specimens. In the end the expedition
was able to pile several dead and two live Komodo dragons onto their steamer and return to New York
City, giving scientists plenty to study and visitors of the Bronx Zoo plenty to see.
Number 7. The Bunyip
The bunyip is a little like Australia's Loch Ness monster in that it lives in the water and has never been
photographed despite the fact that hundreds of people have seen it. But the legend might have actually
had rational origins.
The bunyip is an Aboriginal legend - according to Australian History, the name means "devil" or "spirit"
and the creature is said to look like a cross between a crocodile and a horse, though accounts differ.
Bunyips stalk and kill human beings and supposedly make an eerie sound like a "hollow boom," which
certainly seems terrifying if you've never been around any shotguns or farm equipment. - บันเทิง
And also Kangoroos were thaught as a hoax.
If I recall correctly, the first explorers described kangoroos as follows: "It's a creature 2m high, with a dear head, and a long tail. Stands up and punches as a human, and jumps like a rabbit."
Yeah, I wouldn't believe them either.
LMFAO JUST COME TO AUSTRALIA YOU SEE THEM EVERYWHERE. I'll show U around
Bruh kangaroos ARE REAAL THOUGH
@Sr. Bolainas and what is your point?
@Sr. Bolainas Ye I was just telling him Kangaroos are real lol
@Sr. Bolainas mk but I just told him that because I am allowed to
The Komodo dragon is definitely a real animal that still lives today.
Yeah
When I was younger me and my mom watched this movie about them killing people forgot what it was called or what exactly it was about but I remember thinking it was cool lol
True
Taco Crab 🦀 it’s true

"Their skulls are bigger than the modern wolf, but their brain is much smaller."
lol
Is that funny? The cranial cavity houses the brain, some animals have big skulls and small cranial cavities, and some skulls not. Reading the comment section here reveals a lot of small cranial cavities "lol"
@@BenjaminBjornsen bro why are so mad
@@BenjaminBjornsen POV. You’re a karen
My father was a deep sea diver and brought home video of monsters of the deep when I was a child,in the 80's. I have been terrified of oceans and deep water ever since
The monster in finding Nemo is way more terrifying in real time video and is one of the creatures that haunt my thoughts if I am ever in deep water. Seeing the true monster on real Time video as a child to this day still haunts me
Your father sounds like a very cool person🤠
What the animal looked like?
I live on an island and honestly the ocean freaks me out for all the deep sea creatures that we can't even fathom yet
Woah wtf
I thought “The Kraken” was “The Karen” I was like- That is a very DanGeRouS ThIngY
Karen’s ear way more power full then the kraken
@@ILoveBeans6 ur right
Me when I saw this: heheheh *side starts hurting because of laffter* HAHAHAHA
👌😂
Well Karen is more powerful than the kraken
Gorilla still exist I saw it in zoo
Pooping
I know right
Well duh
Same
It’s different it’s called the Chinese black gorilla and it’s much bigger than a normal gorilla
Oh noooo, they found out our secret agent Perry
WE HAVE TO SAVE PERRY
We need to erase they're memories
@@necroman755 let's expose it to candece
Dire wolves and prehistoric smaller grey wolf lived at the same time. The dire wolves dominated the smaller grey wolves, but the Dire wolves died out first. The grey wolves we have today are related to greys that outlived the Dire wolves.
Okay imma say that dragons that breathed fire could have existed, similarly to the Phoenix legend, they burned up instead of leaving remains, the idea was that they had stomach acid that was flammable, or had glands that secreted the liquid, and when they bit down, created a spark, which would ignite the liquid, but upon death the acid would burn up the body, leaving no remnants, all of it is speculation but still interesting to think about
Cool
So technically it just had gasoline for stomach acid and matches for teeth and just threw up the stomach acid when it wanted to breath fire
Ashton Murphy exactly
That sounds pretty self destructive, not gonna lie.
That last clip with the snake the two snakes where like yin and yang
Why are people calling a cyclops a mythical creature, my ex is one.
no way
XD
XD
OMG LOL
Howwwww???????
"the duck billed platypus"
me, an Australian: 👁👄👁
ikr
Last time I checked the Komodo dragon and Gorilla isn’t extinct but I could just be high
Platypus as well.
Half of these are just him going yea dragons not real but they were probably based off a a bird
@@TheGeekyChef1190 was gonna say that
Well the komodo dragon exists and it lives in the komodo Islands soooooo yeah better check better next time
The Cracken was probably just a giant squid.
Kraken*
@@lihzzahrdspeed6631 *Kraken
@@lihzzahrdspeed6631 I like how you try to correct someone’s spelling but you don’t know how to spell it yourself
Yeah I was about to write dat 🥲
But it had a crab claw that was giant 🤔
Why is is at gorilla on the list everyone knows gorillas are real
People earlier thought that gorillas were large humans
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kira Hamilton you are right
Yea lol
bobo kasi jk
there's actually a rare birth defect called cyclopia, giving someone or an animal a single or divided eye. however, babies born with it dont survive for more than a few hours. the longest was a day.
I love how their channel name is top five best but most of their videos are top tens
I saw the basilisk and I thought, “Ravenclaw help me”
I know right
Are you guys a potterhead?🤨
@@lilith7857 yesss
I am a Ravenclaw 😂💙
Yasmine Ahmed you mean slytherin
Describes hobbits then shows a photo of dwarfs. I’m a nerd I know.
i know its funny
Homo Floresiensis
I thought I was the only one triggered lmao
I like how he said, “Sporting a single eye” on the cyclops as if it had a choice lmao
🤣
The komodo dragon is probably the closest thing we have to a real dragon;
-its at the top of the komodo island's food chain as there are no other predators
-their bite is incredibly venomous where a single bite is lethal
-they tend to live in a secluded part of the island, usually in beaches
There’s also the Common Flying Dragon too. Draco Volans
That's where supposedly dragons lived in remote islands and or caves
I think living in ancient times would be much more interesting i mean... just imagine discovering gorillas!
Monke
They are not existed gorillas are still alive
Medusa is my all time favorite mythological monster 🐍I guess I'm stone in love with her lol great video!
Ur joke is not good
Appreciate your honesty have a great week be safe and healthy take care! ☺
mine too i have watched her video
I love Medusa because of Harry potter
Cringe
Seems like we’ve lost a lot more species than what was first previously here . It’s actually pretty sad .. Could u imagine how amazing it would have been to actually see these species …
People w/ no comprehension: Why gorilla is in the list?
WOW I did not expect some of this stuff now I want to look for all the creatures
lmfao they dead except for the Komodo dragon and platypus.
@@69lolll36 gorillas aren’t dead tho unless your talking about harambe
The Komodo dragon is still alive
OH GOD!
Me in a nutshell:.......... aRe YoU sHuRe AbOuT tHaT
They still exist
@@Reecer89no they don't
FISH Giovanna they do they’re just heavily endangered
The platypus is also venomous. I've never heard of it being poisonous, but it could be both.
Only the males are :) they have a spine (spike) on their back legs and they use it on predators that try to get a bit too close to their eggs!
Even if they don’t exist I still like hearing these “theories” and the story behind them
I mean any animal is possible in the ocean we have only discovered 7% which is crazy
Ikr!
Does mermaid count as animal?
@@bbygorlsz127 I think so
IKR Wright humans have been on the earth for millions of years and yet only 7% has been discovered
Chloe :3 “millions of years” If you are talking about humans, then no. They have t been alive for millions of years.
Bud the platypus shouldn’t be on this list just watch phineas and ferb
Lol
Lmao
Lol
Does "back in those days" doesn't meant anything anymore?
Oh, there you are Perry!
I swear after he finished about the comodo he said the next creature is a bit like the lock Ness monster from Australia I hope he realises that the myth of the lock Ness monster is from Scotland
I stopped watching after that.
When most of this “true” mythical animals were killed by humans🌚💀
I already know about direwolves before the show.
Yea that is why my channel is called Alpha Gamer Wolf
Same
Komodo dragon is real I have seen it myself in indonesia
Yup, Komodo Dragons are mostly in Indonesia
@Arianna Peters most of komondo dragon are at malaysia and Indonesia
I always see Komodo dragon because our house is beside the river, here in the Philippines the Filipino term for Komodo dragon is Bayawak
@@lawrencefortunado7159 i think Bayawak is different with Komodo. In Indonesia, that's called Biawak. The difference is on its size and Biawak don't have a poisonous saliva like Komodo.
@@hannahabibah9883 Bayawak and Komodo dragon are the same
The basalits is actually a legless lizard
My grandmother told me that her grandmother's grandmother said that she used too have a baby dire wolf but had too give it away because it got dangerous and people were hunting for the dire wolf so that's pretty cool 😄
Bruh
When I herd unicorn I was like what could be so scary about that
Crunchyboy Gamemaster I agree
I WANT a UNICORN but ya
Unicorns are bot scary there cute :)
Crunchyboy Gamemaster, unicorns were very scarrier than we think they look like back then. like mermaids and fairies looked very different then we think.
Yeah is it real
Top five best
Lest begin number TEN!
That wasn't ancient times
When basilisk popped up the first thing that came to my mind was Titanoboa lol
Hobbit were mentioned in Holy Qur-an that I had studied from western, well I'm a Historian student so I was curious at that time and ended up reading the story. At first I was amazed and the felt goosebumps after reading the whole story.. I mean, dude, there's a little creatures underneath the surface of the Earth where they are waiting for the right time to get out and start devouring everything they.... It's so Amazing story yet scary at the same time..😨
Title: mythical creatures that existed
Loch Ness monster: mythical? I am NOT make believe...oh wait..
Hmmm that's me some times
Yup
3:55 ... looks like half crocodile and horse...
Me: *flashbacks to Scp*
Also me: •-•
Video : Dire Wolf fierce
Me : Omg that baby wolf so cute
God I love my country - we certainly have some unique wildlife here. The Platypus being my favourite ❤️
The Cyclops thing, about that after the Chernobyl disaster some of the children in the process of development in their mothers wombs mutated into Cyclops but died quite early
Poo
I wonder why it's just an eye but I'm assuming there are other stuff that comes with it but all I know is If I lost an eye it would be fine so what's the big difference with having one big eye
I have a feelings the unicorn is still alive maybe where no one has gone yet? AND I KNEW UNICORNS ARE REAL!
But they're not like those fairy tale unicorns,mind u. The only similarity is the one horn. Though its cool that it existed.
Julissa Valenzuela I think unicorn fled to the ocean and turned into narwhals, that is why they are so rare. At least that is my guess.
Julissa Valenzuela haha Dream on! 👍🏼
@@haaazzziiim Bro can you please tell me the name of this show at 2:27 I used to watch it in my Childhood but now I forgot its name...please help me

The Kraken was way more scarier when i use to thought it was The Karen
Well i live on the same country with the komodo dragon..

This was a cool video to watch in my opinion :]
I’d say that the dragon 🐉 could have possibly come, from Dinosaur skeletons, discovered long before mankind had any knowledge or understanding of them. However, I’m still extremely hopeful that they did indeed exist
this is good
Me: Gorilla
My Mum: do you want me to tell you about the old days
Me: run

The cyclopses are actually anatolian civilizations. In ancient times (just like egyptians) anatolians also draw pictures of themselves and when greeks saw drawings they thought they had 1 big eye
That snake bird looks like the titanboa
