5 Mind-Blowing Extinct Creatures - Be Glad Don’t Exist
With a wingspan of 24ft, the Pelagornis Sandersi is the largest 1. flying bird yet discovered! It spends most of it’s time over the ocean and can only fly from jumping off cliffs. It needs wind currents from the ocean to keep it flying in the air.
2. Helicoprion is a shark-like holocephalan fish most known for its spirally clusters of teeth, known as tooth whorls. Helicoprion may have grown to over 13 feet long, but its closest living relatives, the chimaeras can reach only 5 feet in length. Living roughly 250 million years ago, this was one of the longest-lived prehistoric creatures. 3. The Gigantopithecus was living roughly 9 million years ago in present day Asia. It was the biggest ape on Earth. It was as tall
as 10 feet and weighed 1,200 pounds. It is believed to walk on all fours like modern gorillas and chimpanzees. It’s teeth and jaws suggest it was able to chew tough, strong foods by cutting, crushing, and grinding it.
4. Andrewsarchus was a giant carnivorous mammal living during the Eocene era roughly 36 million years ago. Paleontologists believe it weighed roughly 4,000 pounds because of it’s skull and several bones, which would possibly make it the largest land-dwelling mammal predator ever.
5. Smilodon is one of the best known examples of saber tooth cats and could weigh as much as 900 pounds. It was native to North and South America during the Pleistocene era which was roughly 2.5 million years ago. It was considered a powerful predator with strong forelimbs and long, sharp upper teeth. 12 The Pearson Post by Janani Karthick SHAKOPEE’S FAVORITE NEWSPAPER Science

Why Siblings are Good for You
You...yeah, you! Do you have a sibling? If so, you are in luck! A sibling is one of the best people to have in your life. Even though they can be annoying, having a sibling brings many great benefits. First, siblings help you become more selfless. Next, they improve your mental health. Finally, they help you live a longer, happier life. First, siblings improve your selflessness. Having a sibling helps you show feelings towards others. It provides you the need to support and protect your family. Even though siblings can sometimes be really annoying, research states people actually want to have them around, and an even bigger surprise is they like them! Studies show that people that have a sibling have better selflessness than a person that doesn’t. Meaning, they are willing to take care of others before themselves. My brother is selfless, and he shows this by being really nice towards me and others. Next, siblings improve your mental health, especially sisters. If you have a sister you are lucky. Sisters, specifically, give their siblings a mental boost. Sisters help adolescents feel loved, not alone, fearless, innocent, and not self conscious. Finally, siblings help us live a longer, happier life. Sibling bonds have strong effects in later life. Elderly adults who have living siblings have a higher sense of morale and confidence. They are happier when they have siblings to comfort them. According to PLoS Medicine, people who have a strong social connection with a sibling are more likely to live seven and a half years longer than people who don’t. That’s about the difference between smokers and nonsmokers! Siblings inspire us to take better care of ourselves; they help us live healthier, longer lives. Believe it or not, you’ve hit the jackpot if you have a sibling! The next time you see your sibling, thank them for being alive. Siblings have many great effects on you. They encourage you to become more selfless. They also improve your mental health, and help you live longer, happier lives. 18 The Pearson Post
