@@WhiteNucklin not sure about Jurassic world alive app, but for a fact I did throw in the tier zoo reference for good measure. As for the graphic novel aesthetic I'm going with on my animations, it's inspired by "age of reptiles" and "Spider-Man into the spider verse" 🙂
I actually doubt that it would be very healthy. Sloths are slow and fairly weak, leading to them having one of the lowest muscle-to-bodymass ratios as well as uncommonly high bone-to-bodymass ratio. Sloth's, furthermore, have algae and bacterium cultures in their fur that could be problematic for predators not capable of manipulating or dissecting their food when ingested in substantial quantities.
@Train Jackson I didn't even consider gut obstruction or abrasion of the small intestine's liner. Given that even in terrestrial creatures, extremely few predators ingest coarse fur without vomiting it back up and long hairs being nigh-impossible to find in aquatic animals, I would gather that orcas wouldn't have a good time trying to digest fur.
@@trainjackson63 Considering sea lions, otters have fur, as well as anything they really want to eat in the ocean many species do have a fur/feather of some type.

Well, nowadays you should be still scared of dolphins, because they are still predators and they sometimes kill for sports and fun. In the wild they are not as cute and harmless as many tend to think.
The largest and most dangerous dolphin of this modern era is the orca, also known as the killer whale. Although other species of dolphin have been known to save humans from drowning and from shark attacks
You mean so much to me Ben. Thank you for introducing me to my passion for paleontological discoveries. I could never thank you enough for your content.
Well actually that honors goes to orcas and current great white shark, they are the one who replaced megalodon, and those other macroraptorial sperm whale(well technically current sperm whale is also macroraptorial but still).
TheGreaterGood80 technically livyatan won the battle because there still are sperm whales here. However the megalodon didn’t because it’s entire species went extinct. *
Mr. Gigan I’m pretty sure megalodon was the last of its species. Great whites and other sharks are really different from the megalodon. Megalodon from the ododus ( or something like that) Mackerel sharks (great whites and makos and etc) evolved both from the same family as the megalodon.That was however a really really long time ago. But they are now both separate species.COMPLETELY separate.
TheGreaterGood80 did orcas and great whites literally replace the megalodon or sub species or different species entirely before the modern orca and great white appeared
I'm honestly not sure what that man was on that made him write the after man trilogy, (particularly the type used during man after man's conception) but damn it ,knowing the state of the world these days,I wouldn't mind some myself.

Given that the niches of the "smaller" Physeteroids have been replaced (somewhat) by dolphins, it isn't impossible to imagine the appearance (long in the future) of a giant macro-raptorial dolphin to replace Livyatan. The two groups share a lot of physical characteristic; highly vocal, aggressively raptorial, robust skull structures and sharp, peg teeth. You'd need an ecological shift that would make a massive, predatory dolphin viable compared to organised pods of relatively smaller dolphins (which seems unlikely given that Orca are able to hunt such large prey through cooperation); but it certainly seems like something that could occur.
*Ben G Thomas, you should do a video documentary about the history of the Iguanodon and the entire Iguanodontid family. I'm real interested to knowing what species of Iguanodon existed.*

Sperm whales are amazing animals. Imagine the amount of them that were here. When Melville wrote Moby Dick the belief was that no matter how many they killed they would never be able to make a dent in the population.

Man, the thing that facsinates me is that certain niche's are always filled by the animals of the time, like the dolphine niche is always filled even when there wasn't mamals. Its as if there are only a small number of possible configurations for animals on this planet. The false start niche (i forget its name) is so fascinating to me because of this.
@@rooseveltbrentwood9654 why is the house cat the gratest ? yeah i have no problem with man . we could take down dozen of preys in few seconds using automatic rifles , but we don't have to . but for spot number two i could consider many other animals : orcas they prey on every genera of animal( mammals , birds , fishes , crustaceans etc. etc. ) including the gratest ever , dragonflyes over 90 % success rate during a hunt , argentine ants can form colonies that span over contries and they are almost instant kill zones for everything their weight .
Religion, that's why. If this was a Tierzoo video, the Religion playstyle of the Human class causes a large intelligence stat debuff, but allows for easier control over other players through communication. Most religion-based playstyles are based on fanfictions made by the human class, about a human player who was killed using a cross-shaped tool.

Awesome vid. Please do a video about aquatic sloths. I would like to know how they went from land to sea.
Keep it up. I can't get enough information, thanks so much!
macroraptorial sperm whales are my extinct spirit animal
This is awesome. So informative.
I thought the thumbnail was a joke until I realized the sloths were a marine variety and underwater grazing on vegetation. Great vid! thank you ✌️🙂👍
