I always wondered how the vegetation was on the Planet when the levels of oxygen were much higher. I suspect the plants (trees) were skyscraping tall and the vegetation was most luxuriant. Imagine how pure and fresh the air would smell
Permian and Triassic were the " crazies " times in relation to vertebrates terrestrial Various types of Synapsids/Sauropsids coexisting with various types Amphibians But " in the end " ...................... most of the Sauropsids and Synapsids went extinct
@@DonKrieg-382 If you look at it on a large scale on a phylogenetic tree, you're technically correct. I think what we all meant was what if the Gorgonopsids and other Pelycosaurs didn't go extinct.
Upon further inspection, there's a blog called The Dragon's Tales which participated in a years-long collab on this topic. Some very cool ideas came out of it. This alternate universe is called the XenoPermian.
@@edvg5370 I honestly love the robot voice. I can't understand him well when he speaks. Not his fault. But this way I can understand everything very well.
I do understand a good many reasons why you wouldn't wanna present these videos with your own voice, but many of the pronunciations of anything other than english are outright wrong, I'm sorry to say. Overall, I've been following you for 3 years now, and your videos are ever improving. Just that one thing, the pronunciation...
I really want to watch all of these videos, but I can never make it more than a few minutes through before I turn off, because the robot voice is too annoying.
Me to. I wish they were just as popular and the general public knew more about them. These awesome creatures would ultimately lead to us, and all other mammals, both living and extinct. You can even see mammalian characteristics in some very early synapsids. They were not reptiles at all and have very different beginnings. Dimetrodon and Estemminosuchus are among my favorite synapsids. Gorgonopsids and Cynodonts are awesome as well, they were the later therapsids, the line that led to mammals.
What film did you draw on for these prehistoric events you show? I'd love to obtain a copy myself in DVD form, but I'd need to know the name of the natural history film and the publisher for me to obtain it; and here's the beauty to you: that'd provide citation for you, so you couldn't be sued if you tell people who owns the copyrights for the films you drew upon.
@@needfoolthings Addendum: I was referring to the early video in the film with the gorgonopsian surprise-attacking the group of pig-like dicinodants and bringing one of them down with a bite to the neck, for clarity's sake.
@@chissstardestroyer i think I remember those scenes are from a documentary called "Walking with Monsters". I didn't specifically look for that in the description, but rather just assumed it's in there. But I'm pretty sure it's that. It should be freely available on youtube.
@@needfoolthings I have watched the entire documentary, and it is not the same one at all; the Gorgonopsian sort of jumps down in a series of leaps and basically brings down a Dicinodant that looks somewhat pig-like in the overall body plan... it is not the same documentary at all- I've obtained it on DVD, and in that one, the gorgonopsian hunts the scuttosauruses, not the dicinodants.
@ I don't know if your videos are any good, because the mispronunciation stops me from watching to be honest. It distracts me from what's being said. Pity. I'm fascinated by the Permian period.
At the end of the Permian due to a super basalt floor eruption in Siberia the earth has begun to heat up to the point where temperatures could reach over 100° hot enough to melt permafrost Letting out anything that was frozen methane helium hydrogen you name it those who die make way for a new order for the world to new era the Mesozoic the age of dinosaurs is about to begin
And ultimately the mammals, whom had their origins in the early Permian. The Synapsids are the line the lead to all mammals and mammalian like creatures, and both predate and outlasted the dinosaurs.
This is such a great channel and the video, writing, and content is superb. I just wish Morgan Freeman would overdub this (or any actual human). Robot voice needs to go.
This is two years old, but the narration sounds distinctly AI ... rattling off information, mispronounciations, dipping in and out of eras somewhat randomly. My guess is that the audio was retreaded recently.
It's free content. Have you ever heard of a choosing beggar? When you have put up a few vids of your own your criticism might be construed as constructive but until that time you are just a choosing beggar asking for your free stuff to be better.
I've always thought they'd gotten the bones wrong with the reptiles of the Permian. Because if they are right they're some of natures worst body designs and deserved to be deleted. They just don't look right and considering how consistent nature is with optimization these animals are an anomaly.
To be fair these videos look amazing but the automated robot you use for narration really need some work. It doesn't posit the right spots and that often mispronounce words that also runs other words together
