The Worlds First Apex Predator

It's hard to imagine an ecosystem without a major predator but like any other ecological niche there would have to have been a period without one until an animal evolved to fill the gap. Before big cats and killer whales or giant theropod dinosaurs o sharks there where much more ancient predatory animals that sat at the top of the food chain.
