    • @Teknokraatti
      @Teknokraatti 5 років тому +87

      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.

    • @Teknokraatti
      @Teknokraatti 5 років тому +38

      @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.

      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.

    @dan240393 3 роки тому +5

    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.

    okay now that is just plain weird: this video was showing up as being from PBS Eons when I clicked on it.
    as to the video itself I'm kinda wondering if any of these things were pack hunters like our own genuinely terrifying Orcas. strangely enough there have been a grand total of 0 recorded orca attacks in the wild so they don't really get a fearsome reputation but oh my goodness do they ever deserve one.
    it's kinda funny to think that both the largest animal known to ever exist and the most dangerous predator known to exist (as far as I know, I'm hardly an expert) are both alive right now...I mean, it makes sense really it just feels a bit strange due to how pretty much anything prehistoric is represented.
    ^next scariest I can think of was the predatory half of one of those giant herbivore/predator pairings that show up all over the world, think T-rex but more of a pure predator than a generalist and living/hunting in packs. nothing indicating it was anywhere near as intelligent as orcas though so not nearly as meepworthy.

    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.

      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.

    I had an odd thought: if these whales were still alive one could easily assume that they’d be hazardous to humans and boats, but given the docile temperament of even the huge modern Sperm Whale it’s more likely that they’d be largely harmless to humans in general like all other cetaceans.
    Tough call honestly. I think if they evolved alongside us at least they wouldn’t be an aggressor species, but at the same time I can’t shake the idea that a Liviatan might decide to chew on a yacht at least once if it came across one before deciding it had no nutritional value.
