    I see what you did there with the sauropods. The three (and a half?) species each resemble the three quintessential Jurassic sauropods, despite them all being in the same family. One's a diplodocid, the other's a camarasaurid, and the third's a brachiosaurid.

    Not gonna lie, nothing screams Jurassic more vividly to me personaly then stegosaurs. I understand why you took them out, but, you know, it's still sad that they are all gone. Nevertheless this was yet another great introduction to a new place in Kaimere and I dig all the animals covered. Very intrigued by this mountain god of sorts that you're teasing. You always manage to add the perfect amount of terror and mystery to each new corner of Kaimere as you gradually expand the lore beyond the Known World.

    I like how Ceratosaurs/Ceratosauria, as a whole, manage to stand up in Kaimere in modern times !
    By the Abelisauridae and Noasauridae families !
    Because something not many people know, is that Ceratosauria is composed by three families :
    - the Ceratosauridae = which contain the famous Ceratosaurus itself, and still one of the only members of this family (and being the only one being very well-known from so numerous fossils materials, while the others few members are poorly known).
    - the Abelisauridae = which contain the cursorial famous short-faced and small arms carnivores that dominate the Gondwana, southern hemisphere, during the Cretaceous, with Abelisaurus, Rajasaurus, Majungasaurus and, of course, Carnotaurus.
    - And the Noasauridae, the most basal members of the family but who stand up along the Abelisauridae during the Cretaceous until the KT Extinction there 66-65 mya.
    Smaller animals with long neck and small head, mostly omnivorous, with Masiakasaurus, Elaphrosaurus and Limusaurus as most famous members.
    Bu still a very obscure animals toward the public overall.
    If the nameshake family of the order, the Ceratosauridae, have become extinct a long time ago on Kaimere, it's still very good to know that the two others families still stand up and continue to thrives on this world that Kaimere is !

    One quick question. If the Kaimerans want to a lot of research without making too much contact with the native inhabitants, then why haven't tried to create some for of cloaking technology via Kaimere's native magic? It could potentially provide them the best of both worlds, so long as they practice proper sanitation and such to prevent the transfer of potential diseases.

      Their mastery over magic isn’t sophisticated enough for that to be reliable, and they don’t want to risk airborne pathogen exposure. Also, combining the fact that any indigenous witches could detect magic and any animals that can see UV could also see the magic, it would make them very overt in the wrong circumstances

I also enjoy seeing some weird basal yet derived animals like the Pardosuchus and Carnosuchus. The lazarus taxon Nodosaurid is also very fun, a good idea imo, I don't think I've ever seen any similar ideas.
    Also love the people lore, the fact that there are people this far outside of the known world is fascinating and I can't wait to read more in the next anthology. It was something I really wished to learn more about while reading the first two books and I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!

      Keenan I have an idea for a relict stegosaur on the island if you want to see it or use it that’s cool but if you don’t that’s absolutely fine too
      The shield back ( scientific name TBD) , is the last species of stegosaurid in Kaimere they are found in the dense jungles of the southern parts of aniqua major there relatives where all wiped out during the dynastic extinction 15 million years ago and animals like neocamptosaurus and the flegellodracids drove all the surviving stegosaurs but the shield back to extinction. They are called "shield-backs" by assembly naturalists in reference to the alternating rows of plates on their backs, these pony sized mostly solitary herbivores graze on a variety of shrubs, ferns, and other low-level plant life they lead similar lives to earth okapi. Both their thagomizers (tail spikes) and shoulder-spikes protect them from the numerous predators, saurian and hominid alike, in the hot and dense forests They call home Sheild back males are solitary meanwhile females usually have one to two calves in toe the shield back shows that even in times of change one adaptation in these case sticking to Closed forests can mean the difference between survival and extinction.

    The fact that most dinosaurs, overall, whatever on mainland or in islands (thus most especially in insular places) have remained pretty generic and trapped in time is explain by the fact that, for most, they haven't really need to evovled into really weird or derived forms.
    Azhdarchid pterosaurs, for example, outside giving laway rise to new species overtime, have barely evolved in form/shape in 66-65 mya.
    Only rising in size or not.
    Because they are already so proefficient at what they did as behavirors and diet, which were already pretty most generalist themselves, making the animals themselves very generalist andcapable to adapt and face most situations, that they evolved only some minors new traits whithout changing a lot overall.
    Sure, like the two Flightless Tapejarid groups, of the Notzokideu and Permian Tapejarid lineages, show it, some offshot can evolved and become very differents overtime.
    But the overall main leading group still and remain in it's own beaten path and don't usually leave it.
    After all, why to change when we are in a good state/situation and you have keys success ?
    Why to quit your comfortable path for another with the potential risk to not be as successufll, especially on the long term and oly on the short one ?

    Hi, Keenan!
    I’m a huge fan of your work on Kaimere and world building/illustration in general. I myself am a huge zoology, taxonomy, storytelling, and kaiju enthusiast. I do have a question, though: how do you give your creatures names? Not just scientific names (I kind of just put Latin words for that) but common names like how the last land croc is called “Ammut” or that one giant mosasaur is called “Motomazor” (please forgive me if I misspelled any of them). And how do you decide what your map will look like? I’m currently in the world building phase of writing a story similar to Kaimere (basically a world of dark magic, lizard and bird people, dinosaurs, and dragons) and this would be a huge help.
    Edit: I love how this was specifically done for JP30 yet still feels like an already planned out part of Kaimere. Keep up the awesome work, man!

With that in mind, seems 5.8 miles is the uppermost possible estimates assuming it's primarily granite. With that in mind, this mountain is definitely too big. I'll probably be cheeky and say it was supposed to be 8 kilometers, not miles, making it a much more reasonable yet still impressive 4.9 miles high. Might refine it down the road but since that seems to put us in the 'plausible but still impressive' zone, I'm satisfied for now. Glad you mentioned it!

    You know I realized I had never left a comment on this video with my thoughts. Overall a really neat video the Jurassic Islands really are a strong contrast to the two Permian landmasses. A place where lineages have remained in relative stasis.
    If I may ask how do you decide what to depict in these overviews of regions and do you think you'll ever revist them in some manner to explore say the microfauna you know like amphibians, small reptiles, and invertebrates of these places. I'm sure in universe such things are far easier to capture for study by Kaimeran naturalists than theropods

      I know this episode didn't have the wow factor of the permian regions with all their novel fauna, but with a more stable climate, it made sense to have it be comparatively static, and the 'lost world' vibe is one I'm quite fond of.
      I would certainly revisit and explore microfauna. Megafauna pay the bills, but there's certainly a lot to say about the far more diverse and abundant critters in the shadows.

      Like with Permian derived creatures, it's implied that the Jurassic (and late Triassic) were already bygone prehistoric eras many tens of millions of years in the past from the perspective of most Kaimere creatures derived from Cretaceous (and Oligocene) harvests, so the actual Jurassic macro creatures are now long, long extinct (with descendents of smaller, sidelined generalist late Jurassic and early Cretaceous creatures filling the roles in the last few million years).

  • @stembird8791
    @stembird8791 Рік тому +5

    Hmm... Really sad to talk negative. I think fauna could have been more creative and shout Jurassic more obvious. Lack of Jurassic's representitive lineages (ex: Stegosaurs, long-tailed pterosaurs, Allosaurid/Metraicanthosaurid descendents, distinctive Jurassic sauropod lineages) made fauna more like generalized and conservative Mesozoic assembledge. I think apex predators looking not too far from mainland Megaraptorans contributed to this too.
    I really like effort you put into color design and speculative evolution still.

    • @TalesofKaimere
      @TalesofKaimere  Рік тому +6

      All valid critiques. I wanted to give it a 'trapped in time' vibe but still having some dynamic evolution. A lot of the Jurassic icons were pretty specialized so wouldn't make sense to be unchanged for so long. Figure the whip-tailed sauropods felt a sufficient nod, and the top predator looking a mix of Allosaurus and Torvosaurus scratched that itch. Not going to land for everyone though.
