ICHTHYOSAURS and relatives . Size comparison and data 

CORRECTIONS: 0:42 Mixosaurus is not an Hupesuchian, but an evolutionary middle point between primitive and more advanced Ichthyosaurs . 1:22 Kyhytysuka* , 1:47 Guizhouichthyosaurus* Here is the choice of the Members for this month! Let me know in the comments what do you think of these animals. did you know them all? Also, the animated short film I've been working on for months is at its last stage of completion, So stay tuned for that👀 Please don't forget to LIKE, and SHARE this content with those who might be interested in the subject, that's the best way to support this niche channel. As always you can leave your suggestions and become a Member if you want yo help a little further. Thank you all!!

I'm glad that you covered this group, because I feel like most people don't appreciate them and their diversity as much as other marine reptiles. I'll admit that I didn't know some of the genera showcased here. Also props for the little showcase of the live birth of ichthyosaurs.

I like how Ichthyosaurid, dolphin, and shark evolved convergently toward similar body shape.

2:39 i love how you reconstructed Shonisaurus with large teeth. In 2017 paper, it was concluded that Shonisaurus was a macropredatory instead of gentle suction-feeding giant thanks to its sharp, conical teeth and strong dental apparatus. It's basically triassic version of O.megalodon, along with Himalayasaurus.

One of the greatest thing about this group is they evolving so quickly into firmly adapted marine animal after Permian mass extinction,where the other land creatures that evolving in similar path often have much slower start

Wake up babe, new MarioLanzas size comparison just dropped

La parte de Stenopterygius dando a luz y la cría recién nacida yendo a respirar fue lo mejor del video. Magníficas reconstrucciones, en especial las de Kyhytysuka y los géneros de mayor tamaño.

Its adorable how you animated that Stenopterygius giving birth to a baby.🤗

Stenopterygius giving birth right in front of us 😭💀

I’m so glad you uploaded this video, I actually learned about so many new Icthyosaurs because of this, They all look so good too.

These ichthyosaurs are really very beautiful, and I can't wait to see your "Victorian Jurassic Park" (the preview makes me feel very strongly about the "Rite of Spring" from Disney's Fantasia)

Your arts are so accurate while keeping their high quality. I see them in almost any paleo video or a short. Keep up the great work mario

1:06 Nice touch with the Stenopterygius being born! 👍

I wish you got more subs you are underrated tbh.

El Carthorynchus es muy tierno ****procede a quedarse sin una mano****

Kyhytysuka is a horrifying monstrosity. Great video! Also congrats on 40k subs!

I like the live birth of an ichtyosaur it, it's a very nice touch

Ichthyosaurs are the coolest marine reptiles and no one can convince me otherwise.

Awesome size comparison

Pensaba que el shastasaurus era el más grande, pero no quita que te esforzaste ,bien hecho ✅👍

You did a great job showcasing the diversity of these magnificent and overlooked marine reptiles

its really amazing and crazy that some ichthyosaurs were massive like dam and keep up the good work mario

Oh, the memories of when I thought there was just the ichtyosaur.

I like how Kyhytisuka has an abnormally large head, and also, I never knew my country had an icthyosaur (Pervushovisaurus)

1:55 People often say that the *thalattosuchians* did it first, not the *mosasaurs. Meanwhile, Thalattoarchon* here is literally in the Triassic doing the same thing the later *thalattosuchians* and *mosasaurs* did. Plus he looks really happy I guess that's what ya call Convergent Evolution aye? 2:38 Shonisaurus My Beloved

I love them all

These reptiles were the dominant ones of the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs still lived on our planet millions of years ago!

Son tantas las especies de ichthyosauridos que hubo, que aún se descubren y otros que permanecen en dudas, que me cuesta llevar el número total. Buena presentación. Saludos. 👍👋🙂🐬

interesting that convergent evolution made them look so similar to dolphins even though one is a reptile and the other is a mammal

Congratulations for 40K Subs!

"Babe, wake up. Mario Lanzas just uploaded a new video"

Love all the models (which is kind of expected at this point). I really liked your previous vid as well and can't wait for the vid on the Neogene period.

great video. I really hope one day you can do a video on what is quite possibly my favorite group of herbivorous mammals, that being Meridiungulata.

Great video

People: Ichthyosaurs are all the same. Ichthyosaurs:

2:34 Creature from Nigel Marvin Series

I love the nod to the famous stenopterygius fossil of it giving birth. Also wow those early ones look like they've turned into a fishapod

Mi favorito es el cymbospondilus

Awesome

next do mosasaurs pls🤑

Eurhinosaurus is shockingly big!

I’m going to go to now so you and you guys can come over Ichthyosaurs

Al fin un video sobre los ictiosauridos! Te quedó genial. Ahora solo falta el de los plesiosauridos. 💖

Any of these big enough to ride *if* they were still around *would* be the stenopterygius, ichthyosaurus, kyhytisuka, eurhinosaurus, and ophthalmosaurus. Would be weary of shonisaurus, looks like it'll easily eat anyone unlucky to be in its path in one go.

I did not know any ICHTHYOSAURS lived during the cretaceous period!🤯

Beautiful! Loved all the colors and patterns you came up with.

2:24 that's my boye!

Sending this video to my cousin He loves Non Dinosaurs creatures of Mesozoic 🗿🚩🕉️❤️🇮🇳

Didn't shastasaurus had a length of around 21 meters long?

Buenísimo! Ojalá uno similar sobre sauropterigios!

The sea dragons themselves

amazing video! this was really interesting to watch and it is an underrated group. and I loved the baby Stenopterygius coming out the mother, it was a great touch

Request: could you do After Man creatures size comparison?

No saben como me arrepiento de no ver esta calidad de video cuando salio en el momento lo vi después de 4 días 😔

Estos vídeos me encantan 😍 ¡Grandísimo contenido y arte, Mario! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

2:43 - You are a Big guy!

Buen video ❤

Babe wake up lanzas posted

I always thought Shonisaurus was the only biggest ichthyosaur that ever lived!😱

Excellent work as always, Mario

Like always: phenomenal job

Qué buen video❤❤❤❤ Grande amo los dinosaurios y las criaturas prehistóricas soy sub y me encanta tus videos

Thaisaurus?

if not friend why friend shaped

Overall this was an excellent video, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next, but there are a few small mistakes I want to point out: Kyhytysuka's name should have a 'y' where the 'i' was. The largest known specimen of Besanosaurus is believed to have reached a length of 8 meters. Ghizouichthyosaurus should be spelled Guizhouichthyosaurus, with an 'h' after the 'z' and a 'u' in the place of the first 'h'. I'm not sure if you forgot to add them or not, but Eurhinosaurus, Ophthalmosaurus, and Shastasaurus don't have any maps with them.

Brilliant. Love the Viviparous nod to the Stenopterigius at 1:05 And hilarious how the Besanosaurus is loving the camera ! 1:37

utatsu and baby stenopterygio got to be the cutest!

Again greatly satisfied. You could also make some diversed video categories, like IDK, QaA, reviews, behind the scenes, you name it. That also helps to grow your channel. Speaking of which, I now wonder about one question: How long does it take for you to completely draw at least one animal "sprite"?

Do oviraptorosauria

Thanks!

Can't wait for the animation

Ichthyosaurs are THE BEST marine reptiles and I don't care what none of y'all say

Mario, maybe prehistoric (devonic-carbonian-triassic) plants video? Thank you for your videos!! Vary like

Good video, i love your chanel, you make a really good work, i love paleo and your a legendary paleo-artiste and i love to see animals nobody talk about, i very would love to see a vidéo of Temnospondyl and other prehistoric amphibia because not so much talk about this animals, after i imagine a video of lepudosauria (not only mosasauridae) with the rynchocephalia and squamata, avicephalia, parareptilia, araéoscélida, protorothyride, maybe early tetrapodas and sarcopterygia (other fish, chordata, early fish... anaspida, ostéostracea, thelodonta) the avemetatarsalia (triassic dinosaurs, pterosaurs, pterosoromorpha, dinosoromorpha and other...) I think it's a big list, but i very want to see this amazing animals, temnospondyls and prehistoric amphibia is a good proposition i think, other diapsida in second Have a nice day

Amazing

I love icthyosaurs :D

I’m literally crying to learn the different species I never heard of them that needs to live.

So cool

Nice😮

Here are 3 suggestions you could do: Therizinosauridae size comparison, Prehistoric planet 2 dinosaurs size comparison or The future is wild 3

The ichthyosaurs were a lot of work for me, because I was trying to make the web of life, But it was difficult to find the where they would be on the tree of life. Anyway. Taking this opportunity to give a suggestion For the next vote, I don't know if I've already made a suggestion, but just in case I'll put it here, if I've already included it, great. In this case, the suggestion is the Primeval series. A series where a natural phenomenon that the characters call "Anomalies" that function like earthquakes in existence as a whole, connecting different points in history. the anomalies are trapped where they open, for example, if one opens on Earth, it will not open on Earth, and will follow the planet regardless of position. And they only connect with nearby Anomalies, which can open up inside the planet, or any other body So, anomalies on Earth will only connect with other anomalies on Earth, if these open on Mars, these will be connected with anomalies on Mars. . But anyway, this means that the series has the perfect argument to tell stories where characters will face time travel, but a bizarre thing is that the story is not changed when the anomalies , Unless they start messing with them, crossing them, leaving things in other times, in some way, the Creatures that cross the anomalies most of the time do not change history because things are restored later. This is because the anomalies stop appearing, and then they happen en masse, that is, it is as if the characters messed with these time travel things, but as the Anomalies are timeless, if they simply close, the story proceeds normally as if they had never opened. But anyway, what are the creatures that appear in this series? Well, the creatures are types, real beings, creatures that live or have lived in the real world, in this case those that are known in the fossil record,beings that have not been discovered, there are several creatures in the series that represent species that existed but that we have not discovered. Beings that... Will still exist. And there is another type, which are unidentified beings, we simply don't know if they came from the past or the future. Of the creatures in the fossil record we have For example. Silurian: Eoarthropleura Brontoscorpius, Carboniferous: Arthropleura Meganeura. Permian: Inostrancevia, Celurosauravus, Scutosaurus, Dimetrodon (was cut from the series). Diictodon. Triassic : Therocephalian (represents a real species, which survived the Permian extinction, but it is not said what it is).And I forgot the name of the genus that was theorized to have venom. Jurassic: Stegosaurus (canceled episode). Anurognathus. Ornitholestes, Liopleurodon, Cretaceous: Giganotosaurus Spinosaurus, V Velociraptor, Utharaptor, Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Dracorex. Mosasaurus, Pteranodon, Tyrannosaurus, Pelogen: Titanoboa Neogene: "Brontotherium" Phorusrhacos, Titanis, Quaternary: Mammuthus columbi Australopithecus (which for some reason, they represented as brown bipedal Chimpanzees, rather than humans). Smilodon. Panthera leo Unidentified Herbivores Squamata Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens appear from late prehistory, like the Egyptians. Homo sapiens from medieval Europe, which for the series represents the present, and humans from thousands of years in the future). Creatures that would have existed, but that would not have been identified in the fossil record. tree crapper((from the Cretaceous period). Jurassic Beetle, A large species of insect that created colonies). Unidentified raptors appear several times and there is no explanation as to whether it is a real raptor or whether it is fictional. Giant labyrinthodont, This is actually probably a Kollasuchus,So it must be a real creature, but as I don't remember exactly and I only remembered talking about this species, now I'll leave it here. Giant Silurian scorpion, these are gigantic relatives of the Sea "Scorpions" giant spiders from the Carboniferous period. Based on the old interpretation that megarachne ,But these are different, since at the time of the series it was already known that these were not spiders. Creatures that cannot be identified across eras Fogworms, Apparently these would be from the past, but it is not explicitly said Parasitic fungus. Parasite. Camo beast. Several of the fictional creatures mentioned, it is not said exactly where they are from, but at least we know the period Future Predator of the future A giant non-flying bat. They are capable of killing an adult male lion.. They are social, and have biparental care Megapteran, a giant tiger beetle, apparently rivals of future predators,These are social and communicate a lot with each other, and are capable of killing a predator in the future. Shark of the future. Reptile from the future (creature deleted, would be a type of lizard or crocodilian). Mer Creature, They are primates larger than any that have ever lived, in the series it is theorized that they are descendants of the genus Homo. Or rather, descendants of the descendants of the descendants of the genus Homo, which in this creature's time is an extinct genus of primate. The series suggests that humanity became extinct due to pollution and degradation of the environment, losing food and good water to drink, and leaving the planet hotter than normal.But it is understood that the destruction was not so great that several species were unable to survive, the environment would have destroyed civilization, but humans managed to survive, and together with the other surviving species from the human era, they would have repopulated the planet. After that the polar ice caps melted, but the descendants of the descendants of the human species were more tolerant to heat, after that they adapted to marine life.Another idea is that humans have become extinct, and the Mer Creatures are not our descendants but of another type of primars.But there is no official confirmation. Anyway, these are just a few creatures, there are a lot. I hope you like it

If possible , could you remake your old tyrannosauridae comparison video .pls

Can you make a video of plants of the past? Like Lepidodendron and cooksonia

Finally, like the good ol classic days

Can you make a new size of Ankylosaurid and other Nodosaurids please

Great....next PLEASIOSAUR family for little to biggest like ELASMOSAURUS/MAUISAURUS

Can you make a video on all prehistoric bugs pls

I think you can start a new series,a series where you do size comparisons of animals from different regions,like size comparison of prehistoric animals in Africa,Asia Etc.

Note ! 041 : Mixosaurus wasn't a Hypehsuchia, but a Ichthosauria Mixosauridae. Being a dolphin icthyosaur.

Yo Mario :D When ya makin' the neogene size comparison? Cant wait to see your depictions of kelenken, xenosmilus and brontornis :D

I think a cool video would be an amphibian size comparison

Genial la verdad es que yo no conocia todas las pespecies fue interesante

Pls Make Top Prehestoric Amphibians From Small To Big

Can you do Oviraptor and relatives size comparison?

Why didn't you put the ichtosaurus as Hector? It is said to be about 40 meters long and weigh approximately 200 or 300 tons.

How far are you from finishing your animated documentary? 🙃

I thought this was the minecraft music at the beginning of the video 😅😅😅

cool

Prehistoric amphibians for the next ^^

Realmente me gustan tus videos con mucha variedad de especies, podrias hacer un video dedicado a los artropodos terrestres? Eso seria muy chido
