Let's see: It is still relatively small. It is nocturnal. It is by nature an animal that tries to be stealth in order to feed. It is known to be alive 300 years ago It's range included very dense rainforest. Even if seen at a distance, could be mistaken for other, more common bats. Sounds possible.

What a fun video! They lasted SO LONG, possibly longer- that's mind blowing and awesome. I know flora are outside the usual wheelhouse, but I'd love to hear something about petrified wood. I've been to the Petrified Forest park in southwest America, and I've collected a few samples from other locations over the years. It's fascinating how the trees manage to essentially self-fossilize without decaying. Have we made any particularly good discoveries in petrified wood, for that matter? Preserved insect bore-holes or unusual specimens? I might know a lot about normal rocks, but I know so little about these.

Would it be within the scope of this channel to discuss the two vs. three species debate about North American canines? For those who are in aware, this debate refers to the disagreement of whether all wolves/coyotes come from the gray wolf and coyote or if the Eastern Wolf (and its close relative the Red Wolf) are distinct species that are not the result of crossbreeding of coyotes and gray wolves.

I think it would be cool if for these paleo catalogues, you and TimTim would temporarily on the form of another extinct animal the one being featured would have shared its environment with, one that isn't well known. This could give people ideas of other animals to suggest for paleo catalogues, and also might inspire some viewers to look up new animals. It would also add variety, and show that these videos are separate from your histories of the planet series.

It probably is still out there too. If we find ANYTHING, even a tooth, there’s probably quite a bit more where that came from.
