I want you to know you are living my dream. Thank you for your contributions to science. I try to follow paleontologists because it always shocks me that you guys are not the real celebrities. (But, I think thats a good think. Plus the media always makes this field out to be more about always hovering over a dig site and not all the writing and paper work and other work that goes into it.) I follow Jim Kirkland, my local dig site and natural history museum on twitter. If you have any particular recommendations for other paleontologist for me to follow (on here or twitter) please let me know! I made sure to sub to you because I want to support you guys the best I can.

@pickles3128 2 года назад

I was reminded much more of Dickens. Instead of "I heard a Fly buzz-- when I died" it's "I saw a horseshoe crab march-- as it died / The stillness of the sea bed / Was like the stillness in the anaerobic environment / Between the heaves of storm--- it was washed in by." (One of my favorite poems, perfectly encapsulating the often mundanity of the moments of death -- instead of one's penultimate experience being taken away by an angel, or a view of the pearly gates of heaven. Just like this horseshoe crab's silent, inane flopping as it inevitably asphyxiated.)

I don't think it's anthropomorphising them too much-- actually, your comment really made me consider that on some level, I'd been thinking of dinosaurs being unintelligent and primitive. And there's no reason why that was necessarily the case, right? Someone else pointed out that parrots look after their chicks like this, with older siblings co-raising a flock's babies-- and parrots display affection, sorrow, grief, maybe even love. It makes this find even more tragic, wondering how these creatures experienced the loss of so many of their chicks. Whether they loved them, felt fear when they disappeared, and grieved for them afterwards.

Rather than meerkats, compare them to parrots whichfirst and second born and even third born broods will help the ir parents with subsequent broods in feeding and cleaning and guarding the nest site from predators, until they themselves are old enough to breed and go to seek out their own mate. These younf now knowledgable in nest building, brooding and brood care have a leg up on other birds who are first time nesters without pror caretaking experience.

@ericv00 2 года назад

More generally, you can associate it with simple flock and herd behavior. Quite simply, members of a family group tend to organize themselves by size/age when in danger, with the older and bigger individuals further to the outside and younger smaller individuals huddling together in the safest place they can get to.

@jasminecollins897 2 года назад

Hell, even chickens will occasionally do that. Two of my hens raised a clutch of chicks together several months ago. One of their chicks has slight neurological damage and can't balance well. He can't perch with his same-aged siblings at night, so one of his mothers continued to sleep on the floor of the coop with him. She then decided to hatch another clutch of eggs, and allowed that older chick to continue sleeping with her in the nest. In return, he has become a second carer to all the new chicks. They run to him if they can't find their mother, and he keeps a close eye on them and helps them find food and water just like a broody hen would. This helpful sibling behavior is more common with an older sister, but it's not unheard of for a little roo like my guy to do this.

Looking after 20+ toddlers at once when you're still a kid yourself? That Psittacosaurus wasn't getting paid enough. While Velociraptor probably was a feathery little chainsaw, I'm of the feeling the Protoceratops was actually the aggressor in that instance. I look at that fossil and easily envision the Velociraptor frantically kicking at the Protoceratops to try to get it off in a similar fashion to what cats will do if they're on their back. If they hadn't been buried alive, the Velociraptor certainly would've walked away with a useless arm, if it even walked away at all.

@matbroomfield 2 года назад

This is one of my favourite episodes. For me, the emotional story of prehistoric life is what really fascinates me - the pathos and empathy I feel for their existence, especially when I discover that many of them felt the same urges as I do; a desire for survival, fear, protectiveness, and more. I will just offer one alternate theory though: I suspect that the insect farts were expelled as a result of their struggle to escape the amber,the abdominal contortions forcing the gas out, which makes them even sadder. They are literally, a gaseous indicator that they did not go to their deaths passively.

Poor horseshoe crab, that's so sad. It's like those fish that accidentally wander too close to the deep sea brine pools.

@PungiFungi 2 года назад

I love horseshoe crab. During spawning season I always head out to the nearby beach and flip the overturned ones back on their legs.

@minustaco42zero24 2 года назад

The horseshoe crab trail was amazing that it has been preserved like that. I love our natural history.

7:47 It kinda reminds me of the discovery of that big group of human remains in the docks at Herculaneum. It’s definitely sad and tragic, but it gives us such a big incite into ancient life.

I have always been fascinated by tracing fossils. Just wondering what animal made the prints can make you dream away to ancient shores or rivers.. The horseshoe crab is around for millions of years. Now because of us, humans, it is being on the rim of extinction. These poor creatures are being killed to serve as fishing bait or to make vaccins …. This was an unique and enormously interesting video. Thanks Ben.

@jimurrata6785 2 года назад

LAL isn't used _in_ the vaccine, only to detect bacterial endotoxins. (It helps assure the sterility of many drugs and vaccines) A synthetic test (Recombinant Factor C) was developed in Asia in 2003, but it _still_ doesn't have approval here in the U.S. nearly 20 years later. rFC is widely accepted in Europe and Asia, but obviously some force is acting against it here. That these really cool (and harmless) creatures have survived eons only to be exterminated by our greed is heartbreaking.

@@jimurrata6785 you’re right. If an alternative exists why doesn’t the US approve it? It’s not like bleeding those poor things is a huge industry… I hope ..
