The squid-like giant went extinct roughly 430 million years ago and has been re-created with ever-before-seen accuracy.
Millions of years ago, our oceans were ruled by giant squid and tentacled monsters with towering shells up to 26 feet tall.In a new Netflix documentary, Life on Our Planet, these creatures have been brought to life in never-before-seen detail.'Ancient cephalopods like Cameroceras and its relatives were monstrous cone-shelled animals that would have hovered and drifted across the sea floor looking for prey,' Tom Fletcher, scientific consultant for the series, told Newsweek.
The video above shows the monstrous squid as it hunts down its prey, extending its tentacles through the crags and crevices of a rocky reef.Cameroceras is just one of the millions of magnificent species that have been lost to history. In fact, the 20 million or so species that live on Earth today are thought to represent just 1 percent of all of the species that have called this planet home.
