      I’d rather make out with a great white then be alone with Amazon River dolphins. Researchers in that are are often specifically told to get out of the water if they see them. At least if the great white attacks me it’ll be for food, those things would drown me for fun

    The art in the thumbnail of this video where a prehistoric dolphin attempts to eat a prehistoric monkey is based off the 1778 painting, Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley, and after finding this out, a British merchant later Baron named Brooks Watson was attacked by a shark as a 14-year old cabin boy in Havana, Cuba in 1749 where his rescuers successfully got him out of the water after he was attacked after three attempts. The story was well known and helped Copley paint the picture and it still exists in DC's National Gallery of Art.

    Odontocetes (toothed whales) first emerged at the start of the Oligocene, and it wasn’t long before they too produced some scary marine predators. The most successful and famous would be the various lineages of raptorial physeteroids-the “killer sperm whales”-but they were far from alone. One of the first odontocetes to function as an apex predator was Ankylorhiza tiedemani.
    At around 4.8 meters long, this animal was the largest odontocete from the Oligocene, and had one of the most formidable sets of jaws and teeth; its jaws were more heavily built than in its smaller relatives, and its teeth were not only robust, but equipped with cutting edges both front and back. The anterior incisors at the very tip of the jaws were especially large, and they protruded forward to the extent they would likely have been visible even if the animal’s mouth was shut. These were not the teeth of an animal restricted to small fish and squid that it could swallow whole. Ankylorhiza was eating larger fish, sharks, and other cetaceans.
    For the entire history of cetaceans as a dominant group of marine predators, they were facing competition from a less diverse but equally successful group; the otodontid sharks, most of which are nowadays considered a series of descendants belonging to the genus Otodus. During the Oligocene, the otodontid shark that acted as Ankylorhiza’s rival was Otodus angustidens, which was large enough that it may actually have been capable of preying on Ankylorhiza, though for the most part they likely hunted similar types of prey. In the following Miocene epoch, other lineages of odontocetes (including new lineages of raptorial physeteroids and large squalodonts) would take up Ankylorhiza’s legacy, while O. angustidens would quickly produce two larger descendants-O. chubutensis, and the infamous O. megalodon.

    Not to be disrespectful of your take, but it seems to make more sense that the front facing teeth were used for rooting in the seafloor, and the tooth damage and bite power would make more sense if it was chomping through something tough.

    00:49 can you imagine how fast that orca had to be going to clear that much height over the surface of the water? That would be crazy to see in person. I don't blame em for hating dolphins, dolphins are nasty little creatures with horrifying habits. Groups of males have been known to gang "assault" lone females, forcing themselves on the females, passing them back and forth until they're satisfied, and sometimes they end up drowning the female with their aggression and not allowing her to surface. They aren't cute. They aren't cuddly. They aren't kind. They're on par with humans when it comes to cruelty, and humans are nasty little creatures too.

    Orcas are really interesting creatures. There have been studies that show that communication among orcas can vary regionally aka orcas can have an accent and some orcas are more hostile towards certain orcas from certain regions. Another interesting thing is that juvenile orcas seem to have trends. A couple years ago swimming around with a dead fish on their head was very popular. Recently it's been flipping boats.

      Exactly. They are capable of great cruelty but also great compassion, just like people.

The only thing "evil" to me are humans who hurt others for no good reason, even though they know better not to.

      I get fearing animals, but hating a species is not logical. Dolphins are an intelligent enough species with varying personalities that not all engage in the terrible behaviors noted and most leave humans unharmed, especially in the wild. They also aren't humans so we shouldn't hold them to our moral standards even if every single one acted inhumanely towards others. It is very unlikely that they know better. (good vs evil is a very human and in particular, religious concept)

    8:15 - 8:20 he talks about how they’re only found in one small area?
    He forgot about the very common behavior of marine mammals to migrate to specific areas to breed and likely die.
    These dolphins didn’t have a restricted territory, they’re probably just being found at one of these spots they would migrate to
    (Edit) In fact, I’m almost positive that these dolphins are identical to modern dolphins in this way. There’s no way in hell an apex predator with speed on its side would only be in one small area. It might have hung around there often for the abundance of food in the warm surface waters, migrated there to breed, maybe even die, but it probably didn’t live there exclusively
