The thing i like the most about dino guy is the fact that he doesn’t make content just for money. Instead he’s making content because he likes to do it.
Thanks for featuring Prehistoric Nature! (I am one of a modeller) We worked to make this as accurate as possible. Perhaps the most accurate depiction of Arthropleura on the documentary is that of LOOP. This does have some issues, such as the legs being too thin, but I think it does an excellent job of accurately portraying this animal as a millipede.
A lot of depictions of Arthropleura like to make it a big scary monster, when in actuality the real animal was probably incredibly docile, given it had no natural predators.
I think black & red is the canon colouration for Arthropleura, first seen with Primeval’s Arthropleura, then fully realised with Life on our Planet’s Arthropleura.
The Carboniferous period looks like something out of a 50’s sci-fi movie. A jungle filled with giant bugs, but it’s 100% real. Wish this was the time we lived in.
Probably too the swamps much pleasant than today since mosquito not yet evolving (although, possibly other blood sucking parasite already existed only they targeting cold blooded early tetrapod and large bug)
I'd love that, as the Carboniferous is my favorite period in geological history. But, with our lungs we'd get hypernoxia - too much oxygen - and our lungs would implode. So we'd need special gear.
I just remembered that he also made an appearance in the animated series “Dex Hamilton: Alien Entomologist” for a special episode focusing on the Carboniferous.
I think why the various depictions of Arthropluera are shown rearing up like a cobra is probably because centipedes can somewhat rear the front portion of their body off the ground either to defend themselves or to help get a better sense of the environment around them. But some species can also rear their abdomen up off the ground while carrying their offspring. Although I wouldn't see an Arthropluera raise its abdomen off the ground to carry its offspring, I can certainly see it raise the front of its body off the ground for intimidating amphibian predators like in Walking with Monsters and possibly assisting in mating like was shown in Life on our Planet.
I think this arthropod is able to somewhat rear upright, but probably to a certain degree, because I bet if a reared up too far, almost like a snake in a striking position, then maybe it's armor could prevent it from rearing up that far or worse it could break
The size and weight too make that pose rather uncomfortable for arthropleura but that pose was so cool so many people depicted this millipede in that pose
Carboniferous and Cambrian animals are so cool! They are so alien in their appearance. This is why they are perfect inclusions for the prehistoric zoo in my novel series. 😀
Arthropleura is a cool animal! I don't know why people find it creepy or scary, I mean, it's not unsettling like the coconut crab or something similar. It was a peaceful or gentle herbivores, only attacking if it's threatened. Honestly, I actually wouldn't mind it if it was resurrected. ;)
It's funny how the first poll where Arthropleura appeared in, it got the second place and for a few moments, it was winning but then Giganotosaurus caught up to Arthropleura and it lost every single poll after it
I think the reason for black primary color in some interpretations could be bc they’re are speculated to not be related not to centipedes but millipedes may also be why they’re are depicted as herbivorous creatures because millipedes are herbivorous arthropods as I did some digging into internet sources. Absolutely nice tho as much as I hate arthropods is absolutely an overlooked creature that could deserve a little more recognition.
Going by how modern day millipedes and centipedes articulate themselves, I think it's logical to assume that Arthropleura would be able to do the same, just not to the extent that it's shown in Prehistoric Park.
I’ve seen it on walking with monsters, life on our planet, fossils and archeology, and prehistoric nature aka my preferred Minecraft prehistory mod Also glad you included prehistoric nature, to stop the lag I recommend lowering your render distance
Ah, one of my favourite prehistoric animals! Also it seems to be basically the arthropod version of Carnotaurus - nearly every reconstruction is dark red.
Many of these, like the WWM and Prehistoric Park one, have centipede heads and leg setup, which isn't likely for a millipede. And you missed a few documentary representations of it, such as in First Life and How to Grow a Planet, the latter actually has a unique colour pattern for once. But the LOOP one is generally the best in media. Which I never thought I'd say..
Well, this thing was much much different than modern millipedes despite the relation. It would probably have a leg setup that would be close to a centipede because centipedes are bigger and thicker than millipedes and would need big enough pinchers to defend itself at times. Which may require a head that shares similarities to a modern centipede.
@PaleoEdits millipedes don't have the wide, flat shell that arthropleura has. This thing obviously looks and logically would be different from modern millipedes. Millipedes can get away with what they have because they are very small bugs. Whereas centipedes are the biggest kind of bug like millipedes today. Thicker legs to support its weight, bigger pitchers to defend itself if the rearing up stance doesn't work, and bigger body overall will require adaptations that modern millipedes don't have.
@PaleoEdits Well, still a big animal and would need thicker, stronger legs. Perhaps one pair of strong legs per segment is more efficient than two sets of legs per segment. Millipedes today can get away with two thin legs per segment because they are pretty small. It makes sense for a larger animal to have more weight barring legs with a little less of them, too. Many animal ancestors looked different and had different morphological traits compared to their descendants. Edit: we don't even know exactly how many legs they had and therefore don't know how many legs they had per segment. They could've had two legs per segment, or they could've had a pair of legs per two segments.
I still can't velieve that in Dinosaur Island, Kate wins a nobel prize for rediscovering a live Arthropleura and her evidence is a splat in her notebook!
9:23 they are depicted as blind because most millipedes and centipedes are usually blind as well. They have eyes, but these eyes are very simple and only can detect lights and shadows, they can't actually form an image. Some species of centipedes, like the ones in the Order Scutigeromorpha, have more complex eyes and quite a good sight, which they use to hunt. But I don't know about any millipede that can actually see. So, Arthopleura being a millipede itself, most likely was blind as well. Another fun fact: the mandibles that we see on centipedes aren't actually their mandibles, but a type of modified legs called 'forcipules', which can inject venom onto their preys. Millipedes are herbivorous, so they don't have it. Their mandibles are quite small as well, and they are usually not visible when we see the animal from above. So puting a pair of giant mandibles like structures in their heads (like most of these depictions do) isn't the most accurate choice. Hope that answers some questions, great video as always!
0:10 It is actually a millipede itself & it is classified as a member of the class Diplopoda which includes all living millipedes. 3:00 This design looks "almost” resembles Euphoberia another extinct genus of millipede they shouldn’t called it euphoberia because euphoberia hasn’t appeared in popular media as arthropleura which is very unfortunate. 3:21 Arthropleura can sometimes eat some meat to support nutrients to its diet if it wants to like most any other herbivore. The Arthropleura from 2015 Dinosaurs Island was portrayed as very aggressive towards the main characters which herbivores are known for being notorious be very aggressive if provoke or threaten for their main of self-defense.
Lot of people seem to hate Life On Our Planet. Like, religiously so, they get mad and judge you if you praise it. No idea why, lot of fantastic stuff came out of it, loved it to bits.
I love how Life on our Planet portrayed the interaction between the male and female when they found each other. I felt it was quite cute and showed that they weren't just mindlessly following an urge, they had a process for it. I never liked creatures like this but that documentary really portrayed them like real animals.
I work at a museum in Nova Scotia and we study Arthropleura and no we have never found the heads of the animals unfortunately. Also current estimates put it at 8 feet long.
@dinoguy If you keep looking at dinos in ark, you can look up the spawn code and use a tamed one. Just watched your Gigantoraptor video, about to watch this one
I feel like the best course of action for the rest of the carboniferous animals would be to do a lump video similar to the tylosaur mosasaur video since off the top of my head I can only count 3 depictions of meganeura and only 2 for pulmonoscorpius
Neat to see an invertebrate get some coverage from Dino Guy Thought I will say Arthropleura while a herbivore much like modern Millipedes likely wouldn't turn it's nose up at carrion from time to time
Well, it’s mainly the weight. Modern millipedes are significantly smaller than the largest Arthropleura species. It would be a little more difficult it to pull that off.
A few books I've read that include Arthropleura are "When Fish Got Feet, Bugs Were Big & Dinos Dawned" by Hannah Bonner & Ocean Renegades by Abbey Howard. While technically not Arthropleura, Primeval also featured Giant Silurian Millipedes and Large Centipedes were also featured in an episode of Lost Tapes (S2E5: Death Crawler)
There is also a documentary called 'A New Prehistory' in which an Arthropleura fights an Eryops on a fallen tree above a lake. The stem-millipede endsnup knocking the tetrapod off into the water.
The thing i like the most about dino guy is the fact that he doesn’t make content just for money. Instead he’s making content because he likes to do it.
I agree
Yes
That's the best type of youtubers
True dino guys love dinosaurs more than money.

Well, great job on the models you all made, I prefer prehistoric nature more than fossils and archeology
A lot of depictions of Arthropleura like to make it a big scary monster, when in actuality the real animal was probably incredibly docile, given it had no natural predators.
Yeah, it was a peaceful herbivore and just wanted to chill
I've had pet millipedes before, they're some of the chillest critters on earth ☮️
It still probably would've been able to defend itself when it was needed, like how it was portrayed in WWM and Prehistoric Park.
@@albatross4920 Aww you're lucky. They're incredible chunky bugs. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happened to the pets?
To be fair herbivores can kill people
and modern millipedes will scavenge but yeah it was likely very chill
I like how almost everybody who remade this unanimously agreed that it had red on it somewhere
Walking with monsters nailed it and everyone got inspiration
Kinda reminds me of a giant land lobster 🦞
I think black & red is the canon colouration for Arthropleura, first seen with Primeval’s Arthropleura, then fully realised with Life on our Planet’s Arthropleura.
Exept for me. I prefer yellow and dark green/black on my athropleura
I died when that arthroplerua got stuck by lighting.
So did the arthropleura
True

The problem with many arthropleura protryals is that they look more like isopods than millipedes
