Extinct Animals of Ancient History

@@jamesswanson7213 actually Romans did have war elephants too.

It used to be normal see elephants walking around in Thailand in the 2000s. I visited Thailand when I was 6 and rode an elephant there.

And murderous. The reason most of these animals are extinct is because the Romans imported them, then slaughtered them for fun.

@@TillowFrik to be honest, it’s a habit Humans don’t seem to have grown out of much. There are plenty of places today which force animals to fight and whatnot for entertainment. Very sad to be sure.

@@froggygirl999CoLiOnAlisM. It’s like you guys never got past your college ideological bs. The animal was hunted down for the same reason foxes and boars are hunted down today: they leech off of farms.

They are alive in Tasmania

​@@froggygirl999 If the aboriginals had the technology that the Europeans had, they absolutely would've drove them to extinction as well. Let's not act as if the aboriginals were somehow any more moral than the European settlers. They hunted the Thylacine as well. The Europeans were just better at it than they were.

@@froggygirl999 This is a very misleading take. The Inidigenous people took dingos to australia which caused most of the population decline Thylacine. Europeans just killed the last of them. So claiming this is like saying most of europe lived peacefully with aurochs for hundreds of year, but Polish royals came and killed them off. Killing the last of something doesn't make you solely responsible for it's extinction.

Don't forget dwarf hippopotamuses that also used to inhabit Cyprus and which where even smaller than dwarf elephants

Except they were exterminated by the Maori.

That’s my understanding of what it’s like to meet a bison. I’ve heard that they’re peaceable, but not docile - with a critical stare that’s so much more aware than a cow’s.

Imagine getting dropped off in the Philippines and someone pulls up on you riding a Carabao.

got chased by our bull on multiple occasions, one time when was about five, barely made it to a barn in time

Yes and the auroch was bigger than any species of living cattle 🐄. Even bigger than a gaur or bison 🦬

believe it or not there was nothing really unique about the library at Alexandria. historians today have a better understanding of how academia worked in the ancient world. there weren’t any important works in Alexandria that weren’t in any of the other massive libraries of the time or other collections. there were dozens of private and public libraries throughout Italy, Turkey, and elsewhere that were just as large or larger. like the Palatine library in Rome. Even within Egypt there were several other large libraries that were just as or more significant than Alexandria. just like today, no library was the single repository to a work that was significant beyond the immediate area. the book trade was huge back then so any work people cared about was copied. regional manuscripts and records are a different matter of course. the library in Alexandria burning would be a big shock to Egyptians like if any monument in your country was destroyed, but in the grand scale of history the fire had almost zero effect on which works were copied and passed down through the ages. learned men of the time didn’t see it as a loss to academia. that misconception is much more recent and became a thing only in the past few decades. it really is based on little more than romanticism.

For sure. I remember some years ago I heard (in a video) of an eurasian plant that was great for preventing pregnancies, or something of the like that made it popular to use as a contraceptive (and thus was highly sought after, until eventually there were none left) 🤔 I haven't tried looking it up afterwards so I don't know how true that is, just something I remember hearing when I was younger.

@@sammalsikuri3828 I am amazed no one tried to grow those plants

@@thegameranch5935 it's been years since I saw the video so I unfortunately can't quarantee on how true my statement is, or if it just was something fake on the internet. Edit: so, googling "contraceptive plant extinct" will lead to stuff about silphium, which was used by Romans before the fall of the Roman Empire. It's most likely that plant the video was talking about, so hey, I had it vaguely right.

@@sammalsikuri3828 you're right! The plant is most likely silphium. Apparently it had a wide range of amazing medicinal properties. If I remember correctly, it grew in limited places, like Cyprus. Romans did try to cultivate the plant, but according to some, plant failed to grow anywhere else. Who knows how did it reproduce! Even Julius Caesar, coming back from one of the conquests, brought back some silphium to Rome, alongside with gold and other treasures. Perhaps there are still some places where the plant still exist.

@@sammalsikuri3828 afaik, that's dong quai. Never confirmed myself but I've heard enough.

Don't be a pessimist. We are much better educated than our ancestors, and many of us are working towards saving endangered animals. In many cases we have been successful, but if we believe that we can't save them, then we won't.

@@CHRB-nn6qp honestly proportionally I think we have the same amount of education they did. There's a LOT of ppl who don't believe in climate change, and more who are invested in encouraging that. And then there's the ppl hunting endangered species bc they can.

@@kyrab7914 The difference lies in the fact that we can now make a difference. If we remain pessimistic, we are allowing these terrible people to have their way with nature. We often hear most about the bad stuff, as that will get the most attention. There is still a lot of good in the world, and if we continue to spread positivity, it will outweigh the negativity.

​@@CHRB-nn6qpI agree, being nihilistic and just saying "humans bad" does nothing to solve the problem.

Oral history has recently been proven to be far more accurate than what was once was believed. It's said that oral histories were passed down with little to no change (changes were only generally allowed with permission from a community or the community's leaders), so the major details of these stories tend to stay exactly the same and are recited by heart. Super interesting to see the part that these ancient stories can play in helping us identify certain extinct species of animal today.

So is this a problem? The wolves being hunted to extinction so the people can survive? I feel like this comes off as a modern concern because nowadays we don’t have animals threatening to kill is

@@AbdulGabagool83 It's enough of a problem that a lot of european countries are actually trying to get wolves back. See, there's this concept called a keystone species, wherein there are certain species within an ecosystem which are necessary for its stability. At one point, the US decided to eliminate grey wolves in Yellowstone National Park, and succeeded. However, this threw the entire ecosystem off balance. The deer, now unpredated because of the lack of wolves, started exploding in population, as their numbers were no longer being kept in check by anything. This resulted in overgrazing by the increased population, which resulted in less tall grass. This caused a drop in small herbivores such as rabbits, which were now easier prey for the local raptor populations. The overgrazing also affected the food supplies for the local beavers, as the deer now started encroaching on their food supplies as well. This caused their populations to dwindle as a result. The lowered beaver population resulted in higher erosion along the riverbanks, as the beavers that were now no longer present couldn't build their dams, which would normally regulate the flow of water. This then caused all kinds of havoc for the species living in these rivers, which had adapted to beavers being around and building their dams. As a result of eliminating the grey wolves in Yellowstone, the entire ecosystem became unbalanced, as the lack of a predator for the local deer population caused an overpopulation of deer, which had a ripple effect on all the other species in the park. Reintroducing the grey wolf to Yellowstone caused the entire ecosystem to recover within just a few years of reintroduction. So yes, hunting predators to extinction can very much be a problem.

These Wolves as well an multiple other species were made extinct by the Yamato People (Japanese) NOT by the Native Ainu people.

Honestly some of these animals are pretty dangerous to humans. It's not hard to figure out why we didn't have much issue killing them off.

@@BigWheel. yes but in the process we have done irreparable damage to the ecosystems they once inhabited. So in the long run we have done more harm to ourselves and to our world as a whole

@@BigWheel. humans aren’t the center of the world, even though you wanna make them out to be. we can’t just kill whatever we don’t like. that’s not how that works. there’s an order and a reason for everything. in the last few hundred years especially, it’s gotten completely screwed up.

Worst of all, it was recent enough for us to know better. I can forgive the Romans hunting bears, but 20th-Century Brits on the tiny island of Tasmania... 😡

@@Sawrattan >Brits I think I found the problem

There's been a lot of sightings of the Tasmanian tiger

I read, a while back, that there have been a few recent sightings of Tasmanian Tigers. Though these are considered apocryphal.

And Ivory billed woodpecker 😭

New Zealand and Madagascar top the list for tragic extinctions since they have absolutely no surviving parallel elsewhere.

I remember hearing that humans weren't nutritious enough to sustain the health of those giant eagles when they had to switch to preying humans as it's primary food source. The combination of our ability to use tools, be very deadly ingenious, and vengefully motivated didn't help it survive much longer after the moa's extinction.

The Moa looks like a variation of the emu, ostrich. They’re probably related, would be easy to clone one using an emu, ostrich as the carrier, if they got the DNA of the Moa.

@@Sawrattan Shows just what kind of unique variations of species and one of a kind species that can evolve within a island. It also shows how fragile those species are since their evolutionary traits tend to be less general and more specific adaptions based upon unique particularities of those islands ecosystems. A little tweak by an outside force (almost always humans for the past several millennia) on the food chain, flora/fonna, climate, etc. can spell doom to the wildlife. Evolution is amazing, but also slow. Force the need for a rapid adaption for a species within a changing environment too quickly and the whole evolutionary process falls apart for said species and extinction is the end result.

So much for the wisdom of indigenous people.

agree completely

Yes, but those didn't go extinct because of human hunting, those died because they evolved to be unfit for life. Like koalas or Tasmanian tigers.

Indeed, but the best bet Currently would be gene editing on a closely related species to look as close as possible to the extinct species, and using it as a taxon substitute, than when the technologies advance to a point, than such endeavors can become a reality when it comes to cloning.

@Simon Farley There's local folklore evidence that a relictual population of Hobbits survived until the 15th C, to be eradicated by modern humans after they kidnapped a baby. South-East Asia was far more traveled and documented at the time than the Congo Valley, where the gorilla remained a myth until the early 20th C. The same population of archaic humans on the continent (Homo Erectus) is also believed to have inspired the legend of Hanuman, the monkey god of India, that led his people to build the land bridge that existed between the tip of India and Sri Lanka. That legend in turn reached Europe, under the form of Cynocephalus Saint Christopher, the dog-headed saint.

India was much more influential than a remote island in Indonesia. I’d like to believe what you’re saying but I doubt those stories would have reached the Mediterranean

Inaccurate about the first part. The bear dog was not a dog at all but it was totally another group of species known as Amphicyon, the biggest species of it is estimated to have weighed up to around 800 kgs. It did not come under the dog (Canidae) family. They were NOT the ones termed as the bone-crushing dogs. The bone-crushing dogs were dogs, coming under the borophaginae sub-family of the Canidae family. The biggest species of this the Epicyon Haydeni, (the largest canid ever) is estimated to have weighed upto around 300 pounds as you mentioned.

And the Cave Bear used to live in Europe and Asia... The giant Short-faced bears lived in North and South America...

@@LakshyaD the earth isn't that old. Scientists are starting to tell the truth.

I feel like the chance of the romans encountering rare endling holdovers is likely.By the end of the roman empire( main, 400 AD) a lot of the world was still wild and unexplored, and peoples impact on wildlife was much lower then today.plus, we did recently find that a sabre tooth cat, the only one to live in europe during the ice age and when people were around during then, was still alive at 28,000BC from a skull in the north sea, before everyone believed they went extinct based on dating 200,000 years ago.So, therefore and since unlike smilodon it wasn’t restricted to America, the chance that they may have survived to the very early AD times is possible, it was smaller then smilodon so less dependent on big heavy prey.Plus bison were still very common then and aurochs too, so again they may have clinged on.Or, romans found the skulls of a sabre tooth, maybe very recent ones, and reconstructed it in a depiction.They believed in a land called hyperboria, and so probably would have assumed a sabre tooth was a inhabitent from there, if hyperboria was a part of eurasia, then it would fit.

@@SauloA333 who are you talking about ?

@@royalkumar795 pre sure kumar is a movie character

@@coltkillergaming5685 hmmm ok

The nearest thing would be wild cows. Check out the chillingham cattle in North East England.

Heck cattle

Cross-breeding animals many times will recreate the ancestral form. Darwin did that with his pigeons and doves, similarly cats which are constantly cross-bred will start resembling wild cats again. I'm sure if we cross-bred all breeds of domestic cattle, we'd get the aurochs back.

I have an Oreck vacuum cleaner.

@@brucegilliland5382 Also the Spanish bull

Same with their European relatives, the wisent.

Dude did you even watch the video, he covers that.

The whitetail deer were reduced to a half-million by 1900, as well.

​@@rockym2931 and now they are like rats. Can't go ten feet without seeing one.

Really, what about religion/ideology of humans, do you think they really care about Animals , or use animals to put own agenda and protest after they become raw meat in the market

[Ice Age humans driving countless megafauna to extinction noises]

You think we are the only predator which made animals extinct? We are at least aware of our acts. Others won't even record theirs.

Commit died

@@SergioLeonardoCornejo bruh, the only other thing that has caused such massive amounts of extinction are catastrophic natural disasters. Why are people so sensitive about the truth?

How about Stellar Sea Cow? I want those chonky bois back.

@@alvianekka80 oh yea those are awesome too.

what about great auk? supposedly there were friendly like dodos and would go up to people because no predators where they lived.

I want my cat back.

I want t rex back and raptors and released into cities then they can eat people 😁

And other animals...I say dragons existed too... just left over dinos

@@Sillybillyilly My uncle was a grand dragon before he was raped to death in prison. A country boy can survive! Unless butt raped to death by members of the Black Gorilla Family.

@@Sillybillyilly well i hate to be that person but they wouldn't be dinosaurs Dinosaurs walked on two legs Maybe wyverns could be dinosaurs I'm so sorry I have typed this out

Jehovah God created Earth and man as told in Genisis. The Earth is only a few thousand years. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth then created Adam and Eve

@@lucaslindseyJESUSBOY yea sure, and his carpenter wizard son will be right back, he just stepped out for a pack of smokes. 🤣😂

First one of your videos I have seen. Liked and subscribed.

@Boyer Ranch I think just planes/ helicopters alone skews it

@@reinhardvonlohengramm6296 I think they'd be happier with it, less war generally, but there's still plenty of wonderful thing that have been lost, even if progress seemingly surmounts them.

They still are in Iran.

@@davidfilipovic163 Yeah ik, but he did include other regionally extinct creatures

I read that 70 cheetahs from africa are gonna be released into the wilds in india at the end of this year

@@davidfilipovic163 True but Iran doesn't care about them. I heard India might try save them or something.

Well…there was ancient trade with Africa & Africans with India. This wouldn’t be new. Can’t recall the king who had an impressive zoo that included giraffes.
