I love that this channel doesn't focus on dinosaurs too much in their paleo videos, extinct non-dinosaurians need more love. I would love it if you did a video on Gorgonopsids or my favourite gorgonopsid Inostrancevia.
As someone who has ever played Dino Crisis 2, I hate Inostrancevia... The only way to hurt them with moderate caliber weapon is when they stand up to attack, exposing their less armored legs. And that requires correct timing...
I'm casting my vote for triassic dinosauromorphs and triassic archosauromorphs. The triassic is by far the most interesting of the three Mesozoic in terms of evolutionary experimentation and diversity, in my opinion. And I say that as a die hard dinosaur fan.
@Childmolestor666Megalodon appeared 23 million years ago, Dunkleosteus went extinct 360 million years ago. In fact, Dunkleosteus was older than flowering plants.
I know dinosaurs usually take top billing as far as prehistoric animals go, but I really wish other periods of Earth's life would get the spotlight in popular culture 😊
I love how you properly drawn Dunkleosteus with shark-like tail. Based on 2017 reconstruction, it has been concluded that shark-like tail is much more efficient for active predatory lifestyle of Dunkleosteus than the traditional eel-like tail. The eel-like tail depiction was based on Coccosteus, a foot long relative of Dunkleosteus which was a freshwater fish and has preserved post cranial section.
@@unholyhardy4359 very likely. In my opinion, it probably looks like some catfish that have hard and armoured head, but also covered by skin (e.g redtail catfish)
If they survived they might have evolved to be smaller but if they were their normal size than there’d be an aquatic world war between orcas, sharks, and the dunks lol
I like how "dated" some of these artworks are. Recent research have speculated that Dunkleosteus have a more "conventional" design with their bony head being mostly covered with tough scale (similar to the modern day snakehead) instead of being "naked" like a piece of external armor, fins and tails like those of sharks instead of eels because of their active lifestyle
Not gonna lie, I don’t like how people call people without degrees, “amateurs”. This “amateur paleontologist” discovered a new prehistoric monster fish, I think he deserves to be remembered as an actual paleontologist
Im glad how ceritification is starting to be recognized as just societally as just a faux gatekeep when in the age of interconnectivity knowledge is widespread
@@grimsgraveyard3598Uhh what? How does not having a degree = not having experience? So you think a green behind the ears 22 year old with a bachelor's degree who's never even seen a real fossil has more "experience" than a 70 year old who's been digging up fossils his whole life and read every paper written but doesn't have a degree? It's sad that there are still 🐑 out there that don't realize knowledge is universal... The laws of physics don't change regardless of whether or not I have a physics degree. And honestly in today's world, outside of STEM, the rest of "higher education" is just an expensive indoctrination camp where you're giving yourself government debt to have yourself indoctrinated and turned into an "obedient model citizen" that will keep droning on as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, all the while the middle class is slowly erased 😂
The term 'amateur' just refers to them not getting paid, apposed to a 'professional' that does get paid. Even though their work could be better than a professional. For example I used to be a member of a model making group. A bloke their made an R2D2 replica which was far far better than the original (because he spent years on it, apposed to a few weeks for the actual one). He got into the local newspaper and he got called an Amateur model maker despite his work being of far better quality.
Would you consider doing a video on Homo floresiensis? I understand that they were a species of human, and therefore might be a touchy subject. However, they are fascinating in their own right and were the focal point a lawsuit by the Tolkien estate.
I don't think that would actually be beyond the realm of possibility for Animal-logic, as they did do a video on humans as a joke against the Honey Badger, but still treated the subject of us as seriously as they do with other animals.
@@jasonalcatraz5817 I remember that video. It refer to us all as "the most dangerous animal on the planet," or a synonym of "planet." Abd I still agree with that sentiment.
@@Chaos89P It’s not too edgy for RU-vid. Casual Geographic did a feature on the Harpy eagle, and ended on a photo of a dude beside a Harpy eagle, and he said something like, “you are looking at the most dangerous predatory animal in the jungle. And beside him is a Harpy eagle.”
There has recently been a new size update for dunkleosteus! Shining a more detailed way of estimating size, paleontologists have estimated dunkleosteus at 4 meters (12-13 feet).
The title hade thinking this fish was terrorising Devon (a rural county in England). 😹 "Cream, cows, and terrifying sea monsters!" - Devon tourist board.
When I was a boy I first saw the fossilized skull of this creature in a dinosaur book I had. I was always drawn to primitive power evident in the remains. A decade ago I got to see the skull of this monster at the Chicago Field Museum. It was even more impressive in person.
It’s mind blowing to me that animals like this and megaladon existed. I mean imagine seeing one of these monsters from a boat or a mossasaur or a pleasiasaur. Would be absolutely incredible.
I'd love to see a megalodon. Sharks are already usually docile and I can imagine one that size would be even more so since we'd be far too small for it to view us as prey. It would be such a beautiful thing. I would love to swim with a megalodon for a day.
This made me so happy to watch! I've been following Animalogic for years, and when they started doing Paleologic I was ecstatic!! I had hoped they would eventually make a video on my favorite prehistoric creature, and I was far from disappointed - as always! ♥️ Thank you for such lovely and educational videos!!!!
What I love most about a lot of these kinds of videos are all the various details. "This fish was 6 meters long, had grey mottled scales, preferred cooler waters, ate primarily bla bla, lived a solitary life, loved long walks on the beach, wrote poetry in iambic pentameter and never called its mother. We know all of this, because we found... a tooth."
2:35 = Dunkleosteus may have had 10 species, but it wasn’t the most varied placoderm genus. That honour goes to Bothriolepis with between 70-100 valid species.
We’re not setting off an extinction event - we are the extinction event. One of the major hallmarks of the Anthropocene is the collapse of species diversity.
Ironically the amphibians, which came to land in the Late Devonian (contrary to the misrepresentation at @2:00 mark) are pointing the way as they rapidly go extinct.
"Until now, researchers thought Dunkleosteus was about 30 feet long (gray fish), but a new study finds it was likely no longer than 13 feet (black fish)." (2023)
Error: @2:00 "in fact at the time [Devonian Period, 419-359 MYA] there were no terrestrial vertebrates at all" Internet: "amphibians are considered the first terrestrial vertebrates." "The researchers focused on 35 early tetrapods that lived between 385 million and 275 million years ago." "Devonian period was from 419 to 359 MYA" "The vertebrate land invasion refers to the aquatic-to-terrestrial transition of vertebrate organisms in the Late Devonian period." Of course such channels are for kids and the visual effects are what we are here for...
Could you do a video about the new find of the human ancestor that was very short and using fire in deep caves to possible cook food, and they lived side by side with ancient modern humans. They were using fire over 1 million years ago to cook possible!
I noticed the 3D animation is the one from ARK: Survival Evolved and lemme tell ya; that thing is terrifying to come across in that game already so sseeing one of these irl must be mesmerising.
same! I'm especially fascinated by the species that evolved into large filter feeders and it's one of the first examples of large marine predators becoming filter feeding giants.
Fun to watch this now, after new research shows dunkleosteus was actually much shorter than believed at the time of this video. It’s now believed that the largest specimens could get to 4.1 meters long, instead of the of the 6 meter length mentioned in this video
can you guys do deinonychus next? it had an important and inserting history in paleontology for starting the dinosaur renaissance and starring in the Jurassic park franchise as the "Velociraptors"
Hey! We mentioned deinonychus in one of our recent Snapchat projects, check it out! story.snapchat.com/p/ab7789d9-3500-4699-8f00-f3f3a05ca6bf/2599461408516096
i would've love to eat that one. i dunno, it just looks eatable lol. don't you ever look at any of the ancient species and wonder what they might taste like cooked? we're all carnos here heheh
@@quickstep2408 Ever since I heard of the chicken being the closest relative to the T-Rex (which is false as all birds are equally related to it) I’ve had this fascination with giant KFC
It’s this fish and this fish alone that drives me to be a paleontologist I wish for nothing more than to study this animal and others like it for a living
Why? No need to feel bad. Here's the reference: Until now, researchers thought Dunkleosteus was about 30 feet long (gray fish), but a new study finds it was likely no longer than 13 feet (black fish)." (2023)
I'd actually quite like to see some media take on the now "tuna cannonball with beartrap jaws". Sounds much more interesting to me than just a great white incased in armour.
When I unlocked this fish in Hungry Shark Evolution, I thought it was pronounced dun-cleo-stoos. I just learned how to pronounce it properly today. Nice.
Thank you. Dunkleosteus is one of my all time favorites. Seems unfair to compare it to a megalodon as they were alive during two completely separate time periods.
I'm.from Cleveland and I've seen that Dunk skull in our natural history museum countless times. But I never knew they were first discovered in Ohio! Cool!
@@PureSalty101 I've managed to stay clean of it for a couple years, but that siren call is always there. The annoying thing is that the game isn't even fun, it's just frustrating, and yet....
one of the generation eight pokemon fossils is based on dunk and the butchered it lol they combined it with 3 other ancient pokemon inspired by ancient animals they put the dunks head on a tiny raptor body and vice versa, they put a tiny lizard head on the dunks body but they didn't do the actual animals lol
@@Jelly_Skelly me too the actual intended forms would have been great to include I see those fossil Pokémon in gen 8 and I think they are in pain lmao they just scream in agony as a way to communicate constantly
Fun fact: The Dunkleosteus almost evolved to human-like behaviours in the deep sea. This meant that they all built houses and used hairspray. This is what caused the ozone hole. /j
this would be insane to find living today. Like the coelacanth, How crazy would it be to find that they found a way to adapt at crazy deep depths and that they have just been keeping to themselves eating stuff that is way down deep that we do not notice is missing?
