What the Hell is Euchambersia?! 

If you think about it that's one of the first things you'd want to do with a totally scrambled and disarticulated fossil. Or eggs or burrows you don't want to change from their natural configuration. The only alternative you have is to cut something up. And some fossils are fragile and could crumble. If you want to get a safe sneak peek inside something, a ct scan is the obvious choice. With modern technology, 3d modeling and vr makes this an even more powerful thing.

I think he said that the African environment stresses have distorted the African fossils, compared to their Chinese counterparts. CT Scanning creates a 3D model we can skew back into the original, symmetrical, form - I think that's what he meant.

There was a paper earlier today about a relatively small mammal relative hunting a slightly larger (but still small) dinosaur. Kinda like how weasels can hunt prey 5-10x their size! So it may be kinda the first example of something like that.

I really do try to. And I try to be fair to most of the science instead of being as dramatic as possible, like with the conclusion of this video. There's a lot of intense research going on, and I can only cover so much of it. Hopefully this does justice to the animal!

Thanks! And I agree. I think in maybe 30 years it could be replaced, but it needs to start in kids books, so that when they grow up to be paleontologists it's already there that these animals weren't just reptiles.

How about reptile-like mammals?

Yeah it is a gorgonopsian, the largest of them all. Therocephalians are a bit closer to mammals than gorgonopsians.

It was, sure, but the therocephalians contained both groups

@@RaptorChattertherocephalians and gorgonopsids were separate groups

Not really surprising, since some modern mammals have venomous bite like shrew and solenodon

They're between 250000 and 1000000 dollars, so realistically donate to where you want to see things studied, and go for that instead.

All praise the Algorithm

Thank you! I appreciate it!

*land predator

Yes, but I was already talking about predators in the Permian. So I wanted to contrast their lifestyles. There's a non-zero chance that one of the Dinocephalian predators ends up as one of these videos in the future.

@@RaptorChatter True lol, I just love Dinocephalians tbh

Closely related, but not one!
