I am glad that wooly mammoths , wooly rhinocerous and saber tooth tiger naturally went extint if they survived to present hunters would definitely hunt mammoths to extinction for their massive ivory and wooly rhinos for their horns and saber tooth cats for their long canines .given below are how many wild elephants, rhinos and lions exist today in africa. LIONS - 20,000🦁 RHINOS - 27,000🦏 ELEPHANTS - 500,000🐘 I only mentioned about main animals there are ton of animals out there who are in the edge of extinction. It is a tradegy that we humans spend billions of dollars on space to find extraterstrial life and billon of dollars on military and weapons(obviously to destroy life) without trying to protect gift of life we have here on earth. by the way joe your videos are great. keep rocking. joe i suggest you to do a video on conservation of life on earth. STAY SAFE EVERYBODY. 😊😀

I can only imagine what that was like. I took my daughter to our local zoo a few weeks ago and they have a wide open African section with plains where you can see Elephants, Rhinos, and other animals. I’ve been around elephants before so I know how large they are, but they have one that was right under 18 feet tall from foot to top of the head. It made the others look like children. I have never seen one that size.

The tallest elephant recorded, Henry from Angola, was a little over 13 feet at the shoulder. (The famous Jumbo was also billed as 13 feet 1 inch - but PT Barnum was, shall we say, prone to exaggeration - and his skeleton puts estimates closer to 10' 7".) Recently, an elephant in Tanzania has been estimated as slightly larger than Henry, but his height has yet to be officially measured. These are shoulder heights; but, even so, no living elephant has a head-height of 18 feet - unless maybe with the head tilted way back and the height measured to the raised tusks or trunk. Nevertheless, you're right: a big cow elephant (African bush elephant) stands 8 or 8.5 feet tall. A big male nearly doubles that, and they're truly awe-inspiring to behold! EDIT: Correction; I thought the new big'un was in Kenya, rather than Tanzania. This has now been corrected in my comment.

I used to work there (I cleaned things in the fossil lab)... one thing we were constantly trying to get people to understand it that it was NOT like quicksand.... it was more like a glue trap, fairly shallow with animals stuck on top. The seeps would continue to seep and cover over it, but the semi-soft ground and bubbling would churn things (over long periods of time) so you actually don't get stratification. The pits are only pits today because they have been excavated and then the seeps re-filled the pits left by excavation. NOW, those are like quicksand, but they would not have been like that prior to excavation. We always told guests it was likely a combination of factors as far as the megafauna.
@TheGrinningViking
@TheGrinningViking 3 года назад
We kinda know with mammoths. Scientists modeled their deaths due to the end of the ice age, something that was possible as they had lived through the two previous ice ages. They also modeled the number of mammoth deaths from human hunting, based on archeological evidence. Either alone wouldn't have caused their extinction, but when you combine both - no more mammoths.

there were always population declines/collapses when the warm intervals came, and 14800 years ago there was a massive warming spike which caused huge megafaunal population decreases, then the younger dryas came and decimated that already low population, and then at 11600 theres another huge warming spike which fks the megafauna even more, humans were already in north america at least 24000 years ago possibly even older

Another subtle point on the potential interactions between human impact and other factors. If the climate was reducing the mega fauna numbers and humans were also hunting those animals, declining numbers might make settling in the next valley over more of an imperative for any peoples that made their living hunting those same animals than might be the case with more stable populations. So did human migration cause mega fauna numbers to drop, or did dropping numbers encourage humans to spread more quickly to keep finding game?

That and constantly referencing modern pop culture, things that have little to nothing to do with the subject matter. Views = $$$. It’s as simple as that. Can’t really blame them, it’s probably not even their choice. They are run by PBS and they want to keep the lights on. It’s similar to how the history channel started losing viewers so they shifted their target audience. Conspiracy theory’s and aliens appeal more to the average idiot. There are plenty of other channels that handle these subjects more seriously if that’s what you want. I don’t think they care about your opinion and even if they did, it’s likely out of their hands.

@graysonsmith7031
@graysonsmith7031 3 года назад
I think the ice age was a bit of an evolutionary trap for mammals. They were encouraged to get bigger, specialize for cold, and specialize to competing with other big fauna, most fauna had no choice but to grow bigger. Once the ice age started ending most fauna had been so ingrained in that niche that they couldn't adapt quickly enough, their size became a detriment instead of a benefit, and in general made them less adaptable. The ice age caused most decently sized fauna that were generalists to grow bigger and become specialists, once the climate took a turn these newly formed specialists couldn't adapt as quickly as the generalists who were often smaller. Thankfully humans are specialists at being generalists.

Not really though, the "ice age" was not actually one solid block of time where the climate was cold. For the last 2.58 million years there have been cold glacial periods and warm interglacial periods that oscillated back and forth for millions of years. At certain points New York State would be buried under hundreds of meters of ice, and at other times there would be crocodiles and hippos on the British isles (warmer than even today). Those large cold adapted animals moved north or south with changes in temperature over thousands of years, and most of them only went extinct this last time around after humans reached them. We are currently still in the ice age, and will be unless we warm the planet so thoroughly that both the Arctic and Antarctic melt completely.

I think the Theory put forth by Sergey Zimov was for the most part correct. It was essentially a positive feed backloop. Basically with Reduced Megafauna Populaions came the changing of whatever environment they effected. Thus leading to reduced access to food, lowering the megafauna's ability to survive thus pushing it into the loop until complete extinction. This paints a pretty clear picture of large animals or animals in general having a positive effect on their surroundings.

Apart from Africa, India is also another place where Megafauna still exist. Most Indian Megafauna survived the end of the ice age and thousands of years of human civilization, invasions and colonization. In fact, India had a greater diversity than Africa. While Africa has lions, leopards and cheetahs, India has lions, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and with cheetah reintroduction planned. Likewise Africa has the white and black rhino and zebra as it's odd toed ungulantes, while India has it's Indian Rhino, and Wild Ass currently, though had both the Javan and Sumatran rhino as well as the Tapir before. Both India and Africa have wild dogs, wolfes, jackals and hyenas but India also has bears. Africa has the crocodile, India has that and Gharials. Africa has the Cape Buffalo. India has the water buffalo, swamp buffalo, Indian auroch (now zebu) and Indian bison called Gaur. India also has 2 camel species unlike 1 for Africa. And India likewise has lots of other herbivores like wild boars, deers, antelopes, wild goats, wild sheep, etc. Plus there are big birds like peacocks (both blue and green), hornbills, vultures, Indian bustard, and flamingos. So ya round about Megafauna diversity exist still in two places, the continent of Africa and the subcontinent of India. Though yes, it is important that I think India gets back it's other rhinos, tapir, hippos, ostriches, giraffe, and cheetahs with reintroduction plans. And also let horses roam free to have wild horses that used to live in India. The only Indian megafauna, that can't be brought back are Stegodonts, Straight tusked elephants (like Paleomaxodon), giant tortoise, Shivatherium, orangutan relatives (could be replaced by orangutans) and it's hippo (though replaceable with African hippo).

I still believe that some of the megafauna extinctions were caused at least partially by human hunting. It makes sense now that mammoths may have been having a hard time already, but I think we definitely are responsible for a few of those extinctions. Not the majority, but a few.

@@semaj_5022 what you mean how. look at the greenland ice cores climate history of the last 15000 years, even the medieval warming period 1000 years ago made the earth more warm than now and made it warm quicker than what is happening now. i don’t get why the people in this video say that the current global warming is much faster than changes in the past, when that is a complete lie. if anything, the current warming shows that even though it is the smallest and slowest climate change in the entire holocene, a lot of people are still suffering from it, and for comparison the current global warming is around 1.3 degrees fahernheit since the start of the industrial revolution which started some time between 260-170 years ago. imagine what happened 11700 years ago were to happen now, when the earth warmed 18 degrees fahrenheit *in less than 10 years.*
