Yayo, is it possible that there are big prehistoric animals that paleontologists have never discovered? Of course it is, Don! The distant past is poorly known, and paleontologists find fossil evidence for new, large animals all the time.
In 2019, two American researchers reported discovering the fossil remains of a carnivorous mammal larger than a modern lion, and even larger than a prehistoric saber-toothed tiger. It lived 22 million years ago in what's now Africa. Really?
Where'd they find it? They found it in a museum drawer at the Nairobi National Museum in Kenya. A museum drawer? It's not as strange as you might think.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (1 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
