7 kinds of creatures that are considered to be literary works but actually exist on the earth. People like to admire these animals, but at the same time, there are also many animals that do not appear out of thin air. They are derived from real animals, and some even Really exists or has existed. In today's article, the editor brings you 7 kinds of creatures that are considered literary creations but actually exist on the earth.

Western Dragon
Whether it is an Eastern dragon or a Western dragon, they are undoubtedly mythical creatures. However, the dragons described in the West are not as complex as the Eastern dragons, and their true colors can be found in reality. They are like giant lizards. For example, the Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in the world today. In ancient times, the huge ancient dragon should be closer to its image.
MOA
The flightless birds known as moas became completely extinct when New Zealand's population peaked at 2,500 individuals, a new study suggests.
This new discovery published in the famous journal "Nature Communications" combines the main research results of two international teams. The researchers calculated that Polynesian activity contributed to the extinction of the moa within more than a century. They found that at the peak of moa hunting, New Zealand was settled by fewer than 1,500 Polynesians, or just one person per 100 square kilometres, one of the lowest population densities of any pre-industrial society on record. In other words, the moa disappeared before the human population expanded significantly.
"The Hobbit"
For those who have watched the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, they must be deeply impressed by this group of hobbits. They are obviously much shorter.
However, in 2003, scientists discovered the real "Hobbit" on the Indonesian island of Flores. They are very short, only over one meter tall. Note that the current average height of the dwarf population is about 1.45 meters. Scientists call it Homo floresiensis.
According to archaeological reports, Homo floresiensis were primitive small humans who lived in Liang Bua Cave on the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia about 190,000 to 50,000 years ago. It took several years to accurately reconstruct the archaeological site. It is said that they lived in caves until 12,000 years ago.
Sea Monster (Giant Squid)
The sea monster we are talking about mainly comes from a giant squid that exists in the ocean world in Western legends. It's big, big enough to flip overShips of ancient people. Sea monsters have long been thought to be monsters of literary fiction. However, in 2015, a nearly 4-meter-long squid was photographed by a diving camera in the Toyama Bay area of ​​Japan. And, it may just be a baby squid that could eventually grow to over 43 meters long.

Tower Tasmanian tiger
The Tasmanian tiger is a large striped carnivore that was believed to have become extinct more than 80 years ago, but it is not a tiger. Although it is also called the thylacine, it is not a wolf. The thylacine is a marsupial that looks like a cross between a wolf, a fox, and a big cat. However, when the last thylacine in captivity died in 1936, the creature was never seen again, and the tawny-haired, kangaroo-like pouch was generally thought to be extinct.
Megalodon
Extinct millions of years ago, the megalodon was the largest shark and one of the largest fish that ever lived. Its massive teeth were nearly three times the size of modern great white sharks. The fossilized bones and teeth of the megalodon have given scientists important clues about the creature's form and the time of its death. Megalodon is the apex predator in the food chain. It feeds on other large marine mammals such as whales and dolphins. It may even have eaten other sharks, which have been found.
Dire Wolf
Maybe people who have watched "Game of Thrones" will be deeply impressed by the dire wolf in it. These wolves are more brave and good at fighting than ordinary wolves. In fact, the dire wolves that existed before were also very powerful. Dire wolves were about the same size as today's gray wolves, but they were larger and had the strongest bite of all wolves, allowing them to hunt many giant animals at the time. Dire wolves are said to have become extinct 9,440 years ago. The reason they became extinct was because they were too slow. Although they have a powerful bite, the decrease in large animals and the increase in small animals prevent them from getting enough food to survive.
