Yes I noticed it too, its quite odd all at the same time I think one got successful and then people started to want to try it I noticed they all use the same symbol in their titles as well.
I've actually noticed this too. When I started, I thought I was gonna be hitting a niche but it seems a lot of people had the same idea at the same time lol! Can't complain tho, I find myself enjoying the Dino content a lot!
It is great to see another educational paleochannel. You have really done a good job with this video, Still, there are a few errors I would like to address, although all of them are (unfortunately) rather niche knowledge. 0:07 The earliest definitive dinosaurs appeared 233 millions years ago, which is before even the halfway point of the Triassic Period. Of course, this was also during the Late Triassic (which takes up most of the Triassic Period since the Early Middle, and Late Triassic were divided before absolute dating was possible) so it is easy to see how you got confused. 1:21 Lessemsaurus is usually not considered a true sauropod. However it was very, very closely related to them (even by sauropodomorph standards). 1:27 Although there are some differences between the exact postures of pseudosuchians and dinosaurs, both had upright stances during the Triassic Period. The ancestors of crocodilians later evolved the ability to shift to a sprawling posture (from their now merely semi-erect stance) as they become semi-aquatic. 2:15 This isn't an error, but I would like to add that an isolated bone attributed to Sillosuchus suggests a length up to 10 meters. In all likelihood, it was likely from a new species of Sillosuchus or a closely related shuvosaurid. 4:10 That is Sebecus, who was a fully terrestrial carnivore and not very crocodile-like. It also lived during the Cenozoic era. A better example of crocodylomorphs becoming more like modern crocodilians is the Late Jurassic Burkesuchus. 4:15 Neither of those are Notosuchus. However they (and Sebecus) all belong to the same larger clade Notosuchia, which was a very diverse clade of mostly terrestrial crocodylomorphs. 5:07 Sarcosuchus's snout actually grew wider as it became as adult, which suggests a shift to larger, terrestrial prey like dinosaurs. Most of these errors .
Thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate such time being taken to address the content of my video. I absolutely agree with every point you made (apart from Lessemsaurus, I really am under the impression that it was considered a true Sauropod?) Some of the errors are unfortunately caused by the lack of licensable paleo-art on the internet but regardless, all points were worth mentioning, thanks again.
When was growing up I didn’t really hear much about Pseudosuchians, but now that I’ve seen this video I now have a better understanding of what they were.🐊🐊
I didn’t realize how new of channel you got here until you mentioned you have no sponsor yet. The content is professional from the editing to narration. Keep it up 👍🏼
glad to see at least one person talking about my favourite overlooked prehistoric species. the pseudosuchians could always use some more love. also love the narration, very professional. you pack so much info into so little time keep up the good work man
I am really enjoying your videos! Straightforward and to the point, with accurate depictions, comparisons and names, you are doing a fabulous job with your channel. Keep up the good work! (Yes, you will get sponsors!)
One theory is that the Triassic extinction made the temperatures drop, and that dinosaurs were already adapted to a life in snow and ice, which is why they survived.
Another addition into the probable cause on why Dinosaurs weren't affected (as much?) by the end triassic extinction even is insulation aka proto feathers. The range of dinosaur extended farther closer to the poles and they were better adapted when the end triassic cooling event happened
That is incorrect. The "ch" in "suchus" is a transcription of the Greek "χ". Hence it is pronounced like the German "ch", the Spanish "j" or the Hebrew "ח" for instance.
That is also incorrect. The "ch" in "suchus" is a transcription of the Greek "χ". Hence it is pronounced like the German "ch", the Spanish "j" or the Hebrew "ח" for instance.
Great video! My only criticism for the video was a significant thing-u should check ur pronunciations of names beforehand. It’s pronounced as / , so mispronouncing that made almost every name from the video incorrect. There were some other mispronunciations too, like not , but aside from just the names sounding a little weird, that’s hardly a big deal, and totally understandable, as those aren’t everyday-usage pronunciations, so it’s just a heads up, not a complaint, and not something that negatively effects the very good video:)
@@Paleofactus this may sound crazy but there could have been a possibility that some pseudosuchians (modern crocodiles are part of this) could have had some form of primitive pictofibers. i don't really remember it well but its a gene that pops up in developing foetuses that can be messed with
Pseudosuchians actually started out with a high metabolism (albeit not as high as the dinosaurs). Crocodilians only later reverted to an ectothermic metabolism.
How about the carnial fluvial episode which rained for millions of years at the end of the triassic which a lot of plants grow very tall which was an advantage for the dinosaurs.
Do you mean the cranian pluvial episode? If so, that's a good point to bring up. I'd have to do some more research on the topic but from my understanding, this occured mid Triassic and dinosaurs weren't the only group to benefit from the bio-diversity that followed. Still it's a valid point that this event allowed the dinosaurs to thrive but I'm not sure it gave the dinosaurs an advantage over the Pseudosuchians going into the Jurassic. If you have any more info on this topic then I'd love to hear it!
The CFE didn’t result in the dinosaurs dominating: in fact, pseudosuchians remained successful even after the CFE (especially the aetosaurs and the various predators, most of which come from AFTER the CFE, not before), while dinosaurs were far less diverse until after the end of the Triassic, with the relatively few large Triassic dinosaurs being restricted to high-latitude areas where things weren’t as hot and inhospitable. It took the T-J mass extinction to flip things around by clearing away most of the pseudosuchians.
That's no difference It will just make everything confusing, as much as i know this group contains even the modern crocodilians. "Eo" means "dawn" The Pseudosuchia "False crocodile" is misleading enough
That is incorrect. The "ch" in "suchus" is a transcription of the Greek "χ". Hence it is pronounced like the German "ch", the Spanish "j" or the Hebrew "ח" for instance.
@@tubekulose False. In English one does not pronounce the 'ch' as German 'ch'. Chorus, choreography, chromosome, echinoderm, ... - all with /k/. German 'ch' does not exist in English and is considered unpronounceable. Ancient Greek 'Χ' is not pronounced like German 'ch' either; rather, it is pronounced like /kh/, that is an aspirated /k/ (which does not have a modern equivalent in most European languages). There is no reason to pronounce scientific words derived from Greek according to Modern Greek pronunciation rules. These words are not derived from Modern Greek, just as they aren't derived from Italian (but rather, from Latin).
@@Paleofactus i mean, the letter combination refers to one greek letter the chi. So i guess i would make more sense to me if you pronounced them both the same. wikipedia tells me that in english chi is pronounced kai. great video by the way! i dont really care how you pronounce anything actually ^^ it was just distracting me a little bit; especially because the word comes up so often in this video.
First 30 seconds you were wrong about two things. You say Pseudosuchians were lizards they were not and you say dinosaurs were "closest related to birds" that is also false. Birds ARE dinosaurs. Saying dinosaurs are related to birds is like saying cats are related to mammals. So not off to a good start
Thank you for the feedback. The use of 'Lizards' was corrected in the description, a silly mistake regardless. And I am now aware that birds are considered part of the Dinosaur family, at the time of making this video I was under the impression that dinosaurs were merely their ancestors! They are small faults but Alas, as an educational channel I should make sure that mistakes like these don't sneak through. Thank you again for the feedback.
@@Paleofactus Birds for long time weren't considered dinosaurs, but in modern times scientists discovered that birds are evolved lizard-hipped dinosaurs. Dinosaur is every animal that belongs to clade Dinosauria, no matter in what period it lives/lived. This clade is divided into Saurischia (lizard-hipped dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Briachiosaurus and ...pigeon) and Ornithischia (bird-hipped dinosaurs, e.g. Triceratops, Iquanodon, Stegosaurus).
There is suddenly an unusual number of channels explaining prehistoric animal families.

The topic of paleontology on youtube.p is quite good, its like a whole specific genra now right.
Pseudosuchians actually breath the same way birds do, so that wasn’t an advantage dinosaurs had over pseudosuchians.
Thanks for the feedback. I should have made sure that theory was up to date.

CH should sound like a K in pseudosuchia. Great start though. Keep on keepin on.
That is incorrect. The "ch" in "suchus" is a transcription of the Greek "χ". Hence it is pronounced like the German "ch", the Spanish "j" or the Hebrew "ח" for instance.
@@tubekulose
It’s close enough for non-linguists.
Suchus is actually pronounced as “sue-cus”. Ch is normally pronounced with a Ck.

nice content, m8
living fossils, those scaly lads the crocodilians. A little difference in that meteor's trajectory and we could all be crocodile people. probably.
Just found out about these animals because of 65 with Adam driver,1:16 this animal was in the film.
So there actually was something similar to a Rhedosaurus!
Rauisuchians and Sebecids: Allow us to introduce ourselves
This is quality
i came across how the it was early feathers in dinosaurs that helped then survive and thrive during and after Triassic extinction
That's interesting, I'll have to read up on that!

There are some channels with a similar focus that have enough subs to have sponsors. So it's possible, down the road. :-)
I certainly hope so! Thanks for the support!
Birds: we still here !
The head of Lizard
The body of Crocodile
The legs of Dinosaurs
The extinction of the non-avian dinos was caused by the Deccan Traps. The Alvarez bolide event is a red herring.
So Pseudosuchians should probably be called Protosuchians
I like ur voice 😍
So warm blooded reptiles vs cold blooded reptiles?
Pseudosuchians actually started out with a high metabolism (albeit not as high as the dinosaurs). Crocodilians only later reverted to an ectothermic metabolism.
The dinosaurs were wiped out by Silurians who than went to live underground.
How about the carnial fluvial episode which rained for millions of years at the end of the triassic which a lot of plants grow very tall which was an advantage for the dinosaurs.

I think Pseudosuchia should be changed to something like Eosuchia
That's a great idea!
That's no difference
It will just make everything confusing, as much as i know this group contains even the modern crocodilians. "Eo" means "dawn"
The Pseudosuchia "False crocodile" is misleading enough
Scientific names can't be changed simply because they are misleading (Basilosaurus) or bad (Megapnosaurus).
You pronounce suchus like "SOO-cuss"
Thanks, I thought it was pronounced like that but I looked it up and a few websites said "Soo-chus" I should've done more research!
