I'm sad about the Baijis dolphin. We lost not only a species, but a whole overall dolphin family...

We can just clone it back, but it is sad that amazing doliphin has been killed

@Hoshino_Channel 4 года назад

Nigersaurus taqueti "We can just clone it" is a very bold statement, just because we posses the power to do it it doesn't mean it's going to work. Do you know how many dolphins would have to be bred in laboratories for a stable population? They would suffer from inbreeding and eventually kill themselves off.

@xanderbecker3017 4 года назад

Whales are so huge. The Grey Whale is considered "medium sized", but it was bigger than pretty much any Ictyosaur that ever lived (the biggest one was 16 meters top) as well as the vast majority of plesiousaurs and mosasaurs. It seems like most vertebrates got tinier in land, but bigger in the oceans since the end of the Cretaceous.

@seankennedy5074 5 лет назад

Shastasaurus is thought to have exceeded 20 metres.

@matthewtait2939 5 лет назад

President Togekiss the newly discovered lil stock icthiosaur is estimated at 26 metres long and around the same size as a blue whale...

@EloquentTroll 5 лет назад

Oceanic mammals tend to get bigger for reasons of heat conservation. It's just more efficient to be big, smaller bodies lose heat faster.

I remember being a kid and going to the Pittsburgh Zoo, seeing a Amazon freshwater dolphin in the aquarium there, and always feeling so bad for it... It’s living area seemed too small, but the worst part is that it always looked sick and genuinely sad.. It’s been so many years, but I believe that there was only one that they had (which seems borderline abuse if it’s as social as other dolphin), and I’m fairly certain it’s dead now.. 😔

@Darknight4434 5 лет назад

About that you don't worry, they are often solitary, or live in a trio at best

@klyanadkmorr 5 лет назад

Thanks to these vids, I went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole to read in more detail and other websites(just noticed you listed your references) and see the info you speak of. I've always wondered but I refuse to believe an ancestor that led to herbivore Hippos is the same ancestor to whales, I'll believe the original species as more indicative because going from herbivore to mostly meat carnivore is rare but omnivore to carnivore more likely. - lolmao There is no 'POI POYSE' (purpose=porpoise) to these Videos! lol

Thanks so much, Ben Thomas, for both parts of this Cetacea survey. The entire clade is compelling, as we all know, and it’s so refreshing to watch a professionally produced, scholarly discussion rather than the same disney-esque, lowest-possible-vernacular pablum. Your research is rigorous.

@seankennedy5074 5 лет назад

Very well presented video. The Inia is an awesome creature, you could easily devote a whole video to them alone. So streamlined yet clumsy looking and pink skin and beady eyes and pectoral fins like big hydroplanes. Some of the Amazonian mythology surrounding them is interesting too. Then there are the "interactions" that lonely fisherman are said to have with female Inia...

@dan240393 3 года назад

As an interesting side note, the Bowhead Whale is (as far as we know) the longest living mammal... topping out at an estimated 200 years. An estimate arrived at when someone noticed a harpoon from the 1800's imbedded in a Bowhead's back. It says something about the sheer size of whales that Pygmy Right Whales hit that size range that makes them "real cute because its real smoll"... despite being the size of a Great White.

The Blue Whale is no longer the largest animal to have ever lived. A recent discovery of Argentinosaurus, A. giganticus, has dwarfed the blue whale by about 30 ft (10m) in length. However, due to the function of the neck of this dinosaur, it was not very heavy. Therefore, although the Blue Whale is not the largest animal that ever lived, it still wears the crown of the heaviest animal ever.

@russiaball4851 4 года назад

largest in this case means weight

@SirBlackReeds 2 года назад

Will this series need to be redone? Some recent discoveries have shown that we don't know nearly as much as we think we do when it comes to cetacean evolution.

@Sweettweety666 3 года назад

Have any studies ever been done on how many young the land-based ancestors had? I’m assuming that because of the massive size of cetaceans, paired teats must’ve been lost at some point since only one calf is born at a time.

Fascinating that An Indian River Dolphins ancestor might have encountered Megalodon during its Lifetime. I mean, that could be the reason why they choose to live in River.
