Dunkleosteus: The Armoured Mega Fish That Terrorized The Devonian Sea 

Please make a video about Quetzalcoatlus.

how bout giganotosaurus

Pelagornis please.

ARK model :3

I don’t want to feel like a dick, but I don’t think dunkie would have given the megalodon a run for it’s money.

I would be more afraid of what it's being protected from...

@@paulsammut6176 highly likely parasites and pressure

@@paulsammut6176 A fish with spear gun

@@baetong1987 a cat with a speargun

Most probably to support the eyes from pressure while it swim

Only ignorant people who never noticed how miraculous nature is.

@@josephsalmonte4995 Impressive yes, but way too flawed to be miraculous.

@@josebenardi1554 lol Please enlighten me as to the flaws of nature & its creations

@@josephsalmonte4995 when you see an animal with a broken slong bone you know nature is flawed

There was a similar creature in the new Avatar movie, I wouldn't be surprised if that was supposed to be a nod to it

I SNAP MY HEAD AROUND TO CHOP YOU’RE BODY IN HALF BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN GET CLOSE

@sirfarhantheone1YEAP ONLY OTHER DUNKLEOSTEUS ALL SHARK WERE WAS PREY

@Childmolestor666Megalodon appeared 23 million years ago, Dunkleosteus went extinct 360 million years ago. In fact, Dunkleosteus was older than flowering plants.

No, its from the Name Dunkle , David Dunkle. A Palaentologist

"dunkle" sounds cute.

Only to a German. Like hitler is the universal term to people we don't like in english

I thought the same thing! Wo wohnen Sie?

Dachte ich auch zuerst ^^.

ikr!

The Cambrian explosion is my favorite period

Even animals during the Mesozoic. I want more land croc representation.

NO ONE talks about early mammals😭

@@komayru65 ikr, someone should.

@@mhdfrb9971 ?

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...

Your dream came true

Your dream came true 😫

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.

He didn't have a traditional education which would classify him as an amateur. He wouldn't have had any experience either.

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.

@@grimsgraveyard3598 You can have a lot of experience in something and not be a professional though, those two things aren’t mutually exclusive

Also the armor would be covered in skin and the teeth would have had lips

@@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)

@@unholyhardy4359 That is probably true but the armor look is cooler

@@hsalfesrever3554 that is true

@Ewan Callister Ahh the Mesozoic three. And don’t forget our modern day top dog (in terms of popular culture). Great White Sharks

imagine a humanoid-dunk hybrid

@@quickstep2408 British

Livyatan is my fave.

LMAO

Jesus🌝

swag in ohio

Average pet in Ohio

You need a new joke bro

or a limited edition of dunkaroos

“Dunkin Dinos” hahahaha get it

your brain on consoomerism

​@DickHarding I bet your fun at parties

Anything short of a steel tanker wouldn't be safe.

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

@@dr.stronk9857 Orcas would shit on these fish ngl

@@watergaming7543 the armor would disagree. However if the armor slow them down, then orcas got an edge in feeding

@@thecommentguy9380 Orcas would quite quickly find away around the armor

Gotta love the adaptability of the modern mythology

the intro model kinda reminds me of ARK especially with the animations

@@MazdaTiger im pretty sure it is the same model

if you're trying to tame it, avoid hitting it in the head as it takes less torpor there due to it's armor

i wouldn't, i'm already afraid of the deep ocean as it is!

You ask the Goji channel they do this all the time, just watched The MEG vs InGen's Mosasaurus battle.

If they ended up evening the sizes or just making it a juvie meg, the dunk wins with low diff. It’s all in the armor

Must be so cool to stumble over something so ancient while doing menial things in a random yard.

@@biazacha makes u wonder what could be under your very feet

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.”

Why would it be a touchy subject?

O yea, " the hobbit".

It looks quite dumb now tbh

That's still massive, especially for its time

​@@DMZZ_DZDM It's still massive, even for today.

„Shining“ 💀 Well now it’s less cool so I dunno…

They shrunkle the dunkle, now it is skrunkle

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.

Wait till you find out about the mosasaur.

there were also van sized early sea turtles

I'm curious if that's where the Devonian period gets its name

As I suspected it is named after your county. Many thanks to Devon for yielding it's secrets to the name of science. 🍺

They got nerfed

POG fish needs more love

Problematic pogging fish

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

Ah, a Ark player.

4m is the size of the largest one too, the average ones are like 3.5

You might be disappointed to know that they shrunkle the dunkle :(

I sure do.

It's still a sedan-sized predator.

They shrunkle the dunkle

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)

But why bother farming them underwater when argy+anky is so efficient

I was waiting to see this comment 🤣

That's a massive understatement.

That's the size of the largest one too, average ones are even smaller. Seriously the biggest downsize I have ever seen.

Yeah I saw it

this video is before that study was released

​@@homogeiThat was really unfortunate timing. If they just waited a few months it would be a lot easier.

aka the Helicopter Shark aka the Buzzsaw Shark.

Or edetsus. No much info

@@hoibsh21 Helicopter? You mean it can fly?!

It’s more closely related to chimaeras than to sharks.

@@sml7564 Only the kryptonian subspecies

That thing is a nightmare though... :P

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.

@@SquirrelGamez But so friend-shaped! I have a plushie of one, even

@@justinjacobs1501 You. You get it. Cambrian creatures in general are fascinating!

Aww .... haha.
