Transcript excerpt

You think of the scariest animals that humans have ever faced, the first thing that probably pops up in your mind is sharks or bears or big cats. When I think the scariest, most nightmare fueled animal that humans have ever faced is the Deinopithecus, AKA the huge baboon. You thought sharks, bears, and snakes were scary? Bro. This is nightmare fuel. So our early ancestors actually lived among these freaking animals. And as you can see, even though they only stand at about five feet tall, these things can tear us apart. Just think of a modern day sized chimp that can already tear humans apart, but way bigger, way more aggressive, and way scarier. I'm telling you, I think I'd rather fight like a saber tooth cat than get torn apart by this thing. Absolutely terrifying, bro.
