Gentle giants of the Cambrian
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2014
- More than 500 million years ago in the Cambrian period there was an explosion of animal life. The top predators were from a group called the Anomalocarids, the largest animals of their day. But now, a new fossil suggests that not all the Anomalocarids were the fearsome killing machines scientists once thought. At least one, it seems, evolved into a gentle giant.

I love the stories of speculative art being found to be accurate and getting credit it's amazing
Right?!? So cool!!
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Harrison Landen Instablaster ;)
@Ivan Kace thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ivan Kace It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
The tiny crustaceans would not call those giants "gentle". But it's a cool video.
You're'r'th'ed'thum just being a horse
@Pablo Rex it's a scam
I'm just so sad these fascinating creatures are gone forever and we will never get to see them. Just imagine all the amazing stuff that may have existed that we'll never find out about.
That is how earth works buddy, species go, new ones come.
@@EvilBandeez yep, it's "reality"
They are not gone forever, they still live with us now. We humans, as well as all the other animals on earth are all related to those Cambrian creature 😁 we’re their great great great great great many greats grandchildren
@@nick_0Cringe reply. They're gone. Even if we are their descendants, we are not them. Your way of thinking is very fake and optimistic.
@@nick_0 yes, just some species replace the roles of other older species
Every video I see on these ancient animals makes me wish I could travel back in time and see them for myself. The Cambrian had so many bizarre and fascinating forms of life. It's a shame we can't see and interact with them.
That creature was swimming backwards, yet going forwards.
+Alex Hunter precursor to crab walking? XDD
Ignorant animators.
Not all animators are quite as pedantic as we are lol.

That’s forward thrusting technology
@William Bernfeld tatakae
So, an artist speculated about a group of animals, and now that group is discovered :) That is nice to hear. It shows that if it is biologically possible, it might have existed.
Bastion Monk Well, this planet has been around for a couple billion years.
Bastion Monk The really nice part is what drove the speculation. Because the speculation was based on facts and a robust theory, it had a very high probability of proving correct. Science is cool.
+Bastion Monk it shows that dreams and imagination are the residue of reality!!
^^
That's because science has something religion lacks....predictive capability.
speculation, imagination?? fossils, dipshit
"I will keep moving forward until all the enemies are destroyed"
I don't know why I really like the creatures of that era. The animals I like the most in the Cambrian era are anomalocaris, trilobites, and others
My only issue with this video is it isn't long enough, it left me with a feeling of wanting to know more. Why do they do these sort of things to us? Anyone who enjoys paleontology has got to love the Cambrian even with the very little we do know.
Considering that Anomalocaris was thought to be two separate creatures until 1981 and that there has been a considerable amount of error in the assessment of past Cambrian era fossils (Hallucigenia, for example), I wonder how precarious this filter-feeder theory might be. I wonder how many of these fossil specimens have been found. Don't misunderstand. The idea sounds intriguing and may be totally correct, but I just wonder about the volume and clarity of the evidence.
Timurlane100 fossil evidence
+Shawn Brown - Wow. Two words that do nothing to answer the question.
Again, as initially stated 2 years ago, until 1981, "fossil evidence" held that Anomalocaris was two separate creatures. My opinion remains unchanged: although this notion is intriguing and may be totally correct, I still wonder about the volume and clarity of the evidence.
Timurlane100 I agree. You bring up a valid point that deserves more than a subversive and unintellectual "fossil evidence"comment. I'm afraid it's hard to say what was for sure and forever will be. I'm inclined to suspend my disbelief at times like this and let my opinion make the final call on what I choose to believe. Maybe these filter feeders were indeed king back then. Just maybe.
fossil evidence
right, but where's the evidence?
Ok, just checking to see if I'm crazy right now, is anyone else getting these videos recommended after they watched that "tribute to anomalocaris" video?
Actually yes, well, at least me
I tought I was the only one
Yea
I went on the deep dive into the Cambrian period but did get the Anomalocaris recommend.
they look like pretty symmetrical, complex, fine tuned experiments to me
Man aot really made me go into a rabit hole of learning about the cambrian age
Lmao same
Sameeeee
Samee
Isayamas masterplan was to teach us ancient biology
same and i love it
Just to let all of you know the anomalocaris in the video is tamisiocaris.
Steve Holland And that literally has zero impact on the video. None of us care and no one will ever see one in person, it doesn’t matter if we know what it looks like unless we’re pursuing that field in life.
@@Tsumami__ rude

This is so cool, my two main passions are vidya games and the cambrian explosion haha
No
Admiral Swiggins Fuck you.
Le epic edgy troll. : ^ )
I know you're a dude btw.
Era Javukh Oh...
Wtf?
The last image with the paintings of the animal; all the smaller animals are called vetulicolians, in case anyone was wondering.
Thank you to these researchers. I really appreciate their work. I’m very interested in the Cambrian Period because of my interest in geology and crystals. Thank you!
So what I'm going with is that this is the first stage of evolution for Cthulu right?

sooo fucking cool. dude keep up the awesome work. These ancient animals are really interesting to learn about.
He is a good boy
I went to the Burgess Shale a couple years ago. Holy cow!! It is cool!! Mind bending!!
Simply amazing!

BTW that drawing @ the end was something.
I’m working on a historica with my friends about dinosaurs and this is apart of my job of researching this

Cambrian lifeforms are one of my obsessions. They look so alien and non-conforming to our mental picture of our current water inhabitants. It makes me wonder just how evolution went on to create these creatures and why it didn't try again to make almost all of them.
It's a shame we can just scratch the surface of their living conditions and habits. It would be priceless if by some means we could replicate them and observe their behavior in the flesh, rather than speculate.
I always was a fan of the cambrean period **0**
„These are some of the most ancient animations“
very good!
These scientists studying ancient life are so imaginative! And the art from those imaginations are so amazing, always raising more imaginations for us who do not study those ancient creatures.
Andy Jiao do you belive in santa claus?
Andy Jiao i mean god
Yes I believe in God.Why?Because Santa Clause is our god
Wonderful thank you
Looks like an ancient cuttlefish
0:24 I love how you casually showed an Aegirocassis model a year before it was published, because if you didn't know about the study before hand then you are psychics.
That's a Hurdia.
Very interesting! ❤️
This was interesting, although it would've been cool to at least compare the mouth parts to a full specimen (or mash-up) to visually explain "what goes where, how and why." There've got to be enough fossils to puzzle an example together. Otherwise, still cool.
...but, as this is a science video, and so fact checking should be on point...
Filter Feeder: Whale.It uses baleen and tongue to push water through "filter" leaving food in the mouth to swallow.
Suspension Feeder: Clam. It siphons in water and catches particles that land on a surface where cilia and/or mucus carries it through the digestive tract.
FF = Passive acquisition (neg. pressure in mouth), Active processing (pushing mixed water through baleen with tongue)
SF = Active Acquisition (constant in/out siphon activity), Active processing (cilia brushing nutrient towing mucus)
NOT the same thing. The lady speaking for a scientific discovery needs a refresher.
These creatures truly are magnificent
Just incredible!

Fascinating!
This video is 100x better with auto captions. “Animal awkwards” and “fuzzles”.
Nice depictions.
I'd like to know more about a exclusive group from this period, the Vetucolia
Gentle giant is one of the greater bands out there, cool creature...
The creatures looked so bizarre and alien during the Cambrian
Was that art book all yesterdays?
Awsome!
One question... what are those little creatures in the last picture???
oh.. those are my cousins.Thats Frank on the right.Marius is on the left.Svein in the middle.You can even see my aunt Astrid behind,the one with the big head.That's like a family gathering.. such a good memories.. (sorry my english)
Consabores The wormlike ones are probably Haikouichtis. The ones with the bean-shaped body and flat tail are vetulicolians. There is also an euarthropod on the left side, which I can't identify.
Title: Gentle Gian....
Narrator 36 Seconds In: *Ferocious Predator* !
lmao I laughed when I saw the title along with the thumbnail of anomalocaris
Is this the path
I find it amazing that so many animations humans make of sea animals show motions that would actually move the animal backwards, but they animate the animal moving forwards. I know fluid dynamics is complicated, but is it so hard to just look up images of sea animals in motion and replicate that in the animations? God. 0:45 is a great example of this failure.
So people DO live in Greenland.
OK....
ok just to chime in Anomalocarids were actually all predatory Radiodont sp. the one in the vid was a tamisiocarid this vid was outdated
@Steve Holland
was actually the first to point it out
I really think you should post a new video about the dinasour found in EGYPT called the mansourasauros. If you saw this please reply
and if you want some information i may help you with that
now there only needs to be a pliosaurus like this and my life is complete! :D
Wait was that tamisiocaris
We really lucked out with the designs of our aquatic life.
Now that is a gorgeous beasty...
I wish i could have a pet trilobite lol, bet they would be fun little guys to have around.
Carlos y jose
somebody should make a TRIBUTE VIDEO
Oh sweet, Tamisiocaridids!
It's the Cambrian Explosion!
Well, that makes 3 completely different pronunciations of anomalocaris, I now know.
A totally new twist on things....
Ai am swimmin' Here!
Do all planes in Greenland smoke that much?
they're old enough to smoke

Me encantan los anomalocaris , nectocaris y jibias :-)
It's the Cambrian explosion!
Bill Wurtz peeps are here mates!
giants?
'measured about 7 feet (2 meters) long, and is one of the largest arthropods that ever lived.' www.livescience.com/50111-photos-anomalocaridids-morocco-fossil.html
@@brianhackert8513 He was talking about Tamisiocaris borealis(found in Greenland) not Aegirocassis benmoulai(from Morocco) and we don't know how big it was, but the "legs" he showed are mere 12cm(~5 inches)
Are you a prophet ?
When nature got really stoned and giggled a lot as she came up with the weirdest possible designs.
Anomalocaris is nicknamed the Sharks of the Cambrian
04:04 actually a type of dolphin is the apex predator of the world’s oceans: the Orca.
Wait this is like an alien planet world
I just wanna go back to the Cambrian bro
Maybe it was the other way around and the fearsome predator Anomalocaris evolved from the gentlerTamisiocaris
They love moving forward untill all their enemires all destroyed
mother nature ruled, ruling and will rule no matter what kind of mischief we humans do or will do. we can be part of it or keep acting like children. it´s up to us. it´s up to *YOU!*
amen brother!
wow, that's animals and stuff
But we're still in the ocean,
P.S.- I don't think it's off the mark to have suspected large ambulatory filter feeders, filter feeding in an organic soup like the Cambrian must have been an excellent strategy for survival, and the larger an organism is the more it can glean from the water.
now
Here I thought it would’ve been extremely cold in the north pole. Yet they are digging fossils in sweatshirts, with the sun hanging around all day like a disco ball. No wonder they are all so well-tanned.
Аномалокарисы вкусные очень.
Gentle giants of the Cambrian.
The things in this period seem big, but they're really small as crap.
Gaming King well this was a crustacean the size of an alligator
YᎪ BOγ small compared to the definition of big today.
Alexander Gustafson before cauliflower ears...
If the Ordovician extinction never happened life on earth would be unrecognizable
not if we evolved to look like Sponge Bob
well... he seedy carrots?
So how large did they really grow up to?
2 m
Tamisiocaris was about 70 centimetres long.

+Valken 7 ft long
one question what event happen that covered them up alive so they could fossilize and why is all the fossils just about on top of the ground when it billions of years ago. that long seems like they be deeper just saying
they could have died naturally, did not have to be alive to create a fossil.
Most likely when then mountain was formed it pushed the rock up.
Was it..........
AWESOME!!! I accidentally tapped the "dislike" icon so just had to rectify the blunder and exclaim, "AWESOME". Wish I was young again and knowing all this then so I could have become an explorer too. You young people need to save Nature
+audrey barka amen, brother
Animalockerids?
But where is the noncon mindbreak?
Wake me up inside

Power of the titans ?
yeaaaah my friend
@@amogusboy4395 Hello fellow aot fan
It would be nice if they would tell us how big it actually was. I've looked at a couple articles about this creature today, and they all use words like "giant" or "huge", but they don't say how big. I'm certain it was nowhere near as big as a whale -- nothing back then was especially big by today's standards -- and in fact it was probably only a couple of feet long. But five feet or 20 feet? It would be nice to know.
The articule mentions 120 mm long for their appendages and that they don't know the total body length. Anomalocaris size was between 60cm to 1 meter long
here's one that's 7 feet -- 'one of the largest arthropods that ever lived.' -- www.livescience.com/50111-photos-anomalocaridids-morocco-fossil.html
Lol my name is Cambria.
Maybe put a Solar power plant here?
