Pantodonts: The First Large Mammalian Herbivores
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Pantodonts were among the first large herbivorous mammals to emerge after the End Cretaceous mass extinction. They were a diverse group, with species ranging from small and squirrel-like to massive and hippo-like. Of mysterious taxonomic affinities, it has recently been suggested that Pantodonts were Stem-Ungulates of some sort. They became extinct during the Late Eocene, likely victims of a drying climate and increased competition with more derived Ungulates.

Would love to see a high quality documentary about life just after the Cretaceous extinction and during the Palaeocene, seeing a world still scared from the KT event.
Same. It’s a seriously under appreciated period.
I like all animals but, it is always refreshing to see the more obscure lesser known animals get mentioned for ones nice video by the way.
Thank you so much. That was one of the major reasons that I made this channel; to give these lesser known animals a wider audience.
@@dr.polaris6423 and for that I respect you
@@chancegivens9390 Cheers!
@@dr.polaris6423 ja mon
Ditto, and I love the gentle easy pace of the video. A pity TV documentaries tend to overlook so many of these curious animals.
I always like obscure groups of animals featured in you tube.
I agree with you there. That's why I like to make videos about them; they need more attention!
@@dr.polaris6423 next week. The bobble headed erythrosuchus
@@andrewgan557 Oh yes. Looking forward to making it!
Love this video, always nice to see ancient mammals as well as reptiles which people usually focus on. I also like the comparisons to modern day animals, really helps in imaging what these weird things were like!
Thanks! I love these weird Early Cenozoic mammals and wanted to give them some attention.
@@dr.polaris6423 Yes, they deserve that after all this time... This were the first synapsid herbivores since the cynodontian tritylodontidaens (extinct in the early Cretaceous, and before them, the cydontontian traversodontidaens of the Triassic... but that's so far back that they were contemporaneous with the dicynodonts.
I'm very happy that I found this channel, but can I suggest you to put the names of the animals or their groups/families so it's easier to remember them?
Good point! I'll do that more in future videos.
"Theres a pantodont"
"oh no there isn't"
"Oh yes there is - it's behind you"
ok, I'll see myself out
?
@@peachboy419 like a pantomime play 😄
@@michaelpatterson9448 ohhhhhh ok
@@peachboy419 It's a British thing.
They deserve a high quality documentairy
They sure do!
The Palaeocene is my favorite era since it is very interesting knowing how Earth recovered and why certain animals survived and others didn't.
I'd say the chances of an elephant sized pantodont from the Eocene are high.
Every time I watch these videos I feel I know even less about prehistory... quite amazing how many prehistoric animals we've never heard of.
Wonderful! This video has finally made me a subscriber! :) Looking forward to future videos from you, Dr. Polaris~
Great to hear and glad you enjoyed the video!
The fact that they started as omnivores makes me wonder if there were any carnivorous members.
The Eocene was a confusing mess of a time climactically and the animals that thrived during it are just as lumpy and weird. Which is awesome, but apparently not as awesome as dinosaurs, so we don't have a Hollywood movie about pantodonts yet. Shame.
Pantodonts look like several different groups of mammals rolled into one.
This is very enjoyable , please remember the MORPUS , they lived in the western states , great videos
I love the revelation that Mongolia used to be full of humid swampland, amidst the information about all types of extinct animals I haven't heard of until now. (except Coryphodon)
Cool! Thank you very much!
No problem!
@@dr.polaris6423 , Do you think that the pantodonts could actually be the origin of primates? Fossils during that time are hardly clear, and I as a layman see a resemblance. Their dentition was 3.1.4.3/3.1.4.3, and we evolved to 2.1.4.3. Could we have dropped one of their incisors when the jaw shortened?
@@thelaughinghyenas8465 Fascinating idea! I think Pantodonts were still very generalized mammals, so they shared a lot of similarities to other groups. It's hard to say how much of this was down to convergent evolution.
Excellent, very informative and interesting! Thank you
I had to pause the video. Did you say "the swampy forests of Mongolia"?
Are u planning to make more videos about your speculative ev project? If so, what's the aproximate ETA?
Of course, the next one will be in a couple of weeks.
they look like moomins
I can see that, especially Coryphodon and Hypercoryphodon.
Very cool video! I learned a lot from this!
It would be nice to know who the artist is at 12:27
Really love that style
Vedas say that life is endlessly mutable.
What is their closest living relative

Is the cladogram shown here not outdated?
I see whales clustered with mesonychia and completely seperate from hippo's, while rather recent research showed the closerelation between hippo's and whales.
In spite of the name, there is no evidence of any of them wearing pants.
How to make underrated animals 101

Ignore the early guys
....
wow... it must have been dumb as a box of rocks
I understand how important these replacement creatures are but the Mammal revolution at first is a real big Yawner, specially when compared to the Triassic recovery. Compare these creatures with Erythrosuchus, Big Head Fred would be my choice for a mount into Battle.
I like these pantodonts in the basic rather unfinished appearance.
when I was a creationist I would say God had a first try and not really complete idea what to create and thought, "good enough for now, this will do for a while."
Interesting animals
Third time watching. Time to add a comment too.
So odd early Mammalians 👀 like a furry bottom 🦎Around some time 🦖 🦕 started to come into the picture 🤔
Yeah boi
Why does the earth have a magnetic field if it is as old as you believe?
Not believe. As old as evidence say. Are you claiming earth should not have a magnetic field if as old as evidence points to? Why?
How is it hard to believe? Even if God created earth, surely He is capable of spending billions of years designing it?
Because the iron was heavy and in a molten state settled in the middle.
I thought the world was flat.
More evolutionary stories. No facts, just primordial stupid stew
🤣🤣🤣🤣 let me guess, you never tried looking for evidence of the flood and 6 day creation. I’ll give you a hint. There is none. Evolution is the history of life
@@ilvibos3512 evidence of the flood. You mean like sea shells are found on almost all mountian tops. Or no matter where you drill you'll hit sea salt. Or heavy fossil deposits in spots like expected in a flood. Or our DNA of every human can be traced back to four women, the wives of Noah and hire three sons. Or there are no trees older than the flood, that's wierd. So much more
Oh, it's you crackhead again. How's Linda doing?
The only primordial stupid stew around here is whats floating in your skull. But who needs a brain when you have a book written (and rewritten and re-rewritten) by grouchy old men thousands of years ago telling you what to think...
@@whatwhale5888 The Bible? Written by grouchy old men? Men who dedicated their lives to reach a population alive today. Man is God's highest creation and the great works of Jesus are being revealed every day. The DNA is a road map of creation, it is God's breath
