Utahraptor Pack Hunt: A Prehistoric Breakdown Special
Ah yes, Littlefoot.
Native Americans are noted as respecting the land & being conservationists too...didn't stop them from triggering or contributing to the mass extinctions. As alien as Australia was, I'm sure it was even worse there. Both used FIRE to reshape the land to their liking & benefit, in the case of Australia that "standard human operating procedure" was particularly bad, selecting for fire resistant plants & allowing soil changes, etc. It isn't that special evidence is needed to finger humans for extinctions, it would require extensive evidence to exonerate humans & that is how it ought be looked at (but never will be, because: feelings).
They are extremely interesting birds! so unique, It would be awesome had some made it. I'm far more realistic & pessimistic on de-extinction now than I once was. We cannot even keep the animals of now around, there is no chance for demons ducks alongside humans. I will note that ducks & geese are extremely commonplace in my small city, and the aggressiveness seems reducible pretty quickly, but for animals our own size ot larger...no chance.
300 kilograms is such an unimpressive weight for Utahraptor.

Honestly, I don't mind Saurophaganax being either a basal Carcharodontosaurid or a larger Genus of Allosaurid within Allosauridae. I always figured it was either of those two options. I mean looking at the reconstructed skull in the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, it looks either like a Carcharodontosaurid or a transitionary form between Allosaurus Fragilis and what could've been THE first Carcharodontosaurid from North America during the Late Jurassic but became extinct before that could "come to fruition". After all the Genus Allosaurus lived in North America for 10 million years (neverminding the species A. Europaeus that probably lived through the rest of the Jurassic Period in Portugal), so why shouldn't the namesake of the family Allosauridae have another species that probably evolved from it? Granted yes we'd need more specimens and use phylogenetic bracketing to fill in the gaps, but even so the bones we have of it date to only 151 or 150 million years ago so something definitely happened as A. Jimmadseni (the oldest species of the Genus) evolved into A. Fragilis but perhaps also evolved into a new Genus entirely. It's not impossible for that to be the case, but as I've already said we'd need more proof regardless of new papers because that always change too.
Petition to name the Ceratosaur Scar-Face.................. And maybe make some merch of it.
Like a lot of the species of the time in Australia, the Aborigines wiped them out with hunting and burning of the lands
Ginormous
I wonder how genyornis interacted with emus and cassowaries.
Surelly like other birds on that planet. By the way: ua-cam.com/video/fe75Gnv28sU/v-deo.htmlsi=wlXVde2mSjv6KdeM
Agressive behaviour seems fitting for this creature.
The "living in harmony with nature" is bs ans really ignorant and idealising claim. No, human are the main culprits. We know it, overhunting and burning the lands for centuries did kill the megafauna. All these creature have seen worse climate period and were adapted. While EVERYTIME human arrived to one place, the megafauna quickly disapeared after. Coïncidence do happen, but not systematically.
Have to say people arriving in Australia in a time of drying was enough to drive megafauna to extinction, they are a new big predator on the landscape but use fire as well in a ever increasing way in pockets that animals went back into when times are very bad. They may not wanted it to happen but in hard times with a big band of people you need protein to survive. Cool vids keep them up.
Great video!! How about a video featuring pterosaurs from the Tapejaridae family?
I mean even if they looked like ratites, the cassowary (also Australian) is no slouch in the beauty department either 💯
12:09 giggity giggity
nice
Really engaging thank you
Amazing video!!!! It's like an armoured otter-croc
Can you please cover Stegosaurus next?

Thanks
Can you do any prehistoric dolphins or sharks
Please do a vid on an Early Jurassic animal that's not Dilophosaurus bc the Early Jurassic is completely forgotten
Unique and original approach to prehistoric life - nice video
Didn’t realize these guys were related to geese. I always thought they were species of moa.
Dromornis? Isn't It supposed to be genyornis?
nice video
Sigma swans
Man imagine if the demon ducks were to make it to the modern day
DAMM a ptesaur named after thanos
Aboriginies would have hunted them to extinction. Otherwise, they would have survived in some areas of their former range as their preferred climate preferences waxed and waned.
So the next part will still be about Dromornis or another animal?
The next part will go over the remaining species of this family, as well as go into more detail on their extinction.
I just discovered your channel and man I already love your video structure, it's unique and very entertaining, I subscribed! Keep it up man!!
Mega nutcracker duck
Thanatosdrakon, whose name was Percival, was glad of the feed. The call had been given and Percival had answered. He would now fly north and join his kindred. After all, who wouldn't defend their home against those landbound invaders?
