Use a 12" ruler as a reference. From Zero inches (0" to 10 7/8" ), is the length of time that lesser lifeforms had to form, evolved, and move on and/or become extinct. In comparison, man has spent the least amount of time evolving. Insects had the most time to evolve, then amphibs, snakes & reptiles ( bird types), mammals, Great Apes & the great experiment, Man.

Birds are dinosaurs 3. Whole blabbering about dinosaurs and showing some pictures of them there is a picture of dimetrodon, Permian non mammalian synapsid, not dinosaur. I just stopped watching this crap as it is full of false info.
i really enjoyed this video! the visuals were stunning and the facts were super interesting. but honestly, i feel like some of these ancient animals are overhyped. sure, they were huge and unique, but i think people often forget just how terrifying some modern predators can be. it makes you wonder which is scarier in the end, right?
In aircraft, forward swept wings create an "unstable" aerodynamic situation. Which makes controlled stable movement more difficult and less energy efficient, but also makes the vehicle more agile and responsive. Hydro and aero dynamics share many principles. If the same applies so water, then perhaps this fish evolved forward swept fins to better evade predators or better bring its "spear" to bear. The energy cost of less efficient hydrodynamics also implies a food rich environment. (Given that efficiency is a major component in most creatures.)

@@DCmartian01 that's fundamentally not how evolution works. It literally cannot work that way. Just because animals look less impressive to you in their current forms doesn't mean they're weak. They're well adapted for the current environment, and constantly getting better adapted for it. A very large animal is more vulnerable to environmental change of all kinds. That's why they've mostly died out. Smaller animals are able to be more agile and adaptable. They can reproduce more quickly, move more quickly to evade predators, and they won't starve as easily if food is unavailable. One of the strongest and most adaptable species on the planet is the norway rat. Just because it doesn't look cool to you does not mean it's not absolutely winning in evolutionary terms. You're just looking at nature through the lense of a literal cartoon.

In the era of dinosaurs, we were NOT there. We did not live in that time. The past, as recounted, remains shrouded in a haze of fiction. A reminder that much of what we believe is built upon the foundation of human imagination.
@@meatslide Yes, we believe we know the sounds they made, the colors they had, how strong they were, and who their enemies were. But there's a lot of speculation.

The lack of good parenting and at home education of kids simply amazes me. I had a 10 or 11 year old boy next door who had no idea of what a mammoth or mastodon was. I was all over that when I was 7 or probably before that. The next time I was at my MD's office a science magazine in the waiting room had a rather detailed article on mammoths. I asked for and received the magazine explaining it was for a neighbor's kid. How pitiful can it get?
Wow, this video was super interesting and really well put together! I loved learning about these ancient creatures. However, I can’t help but think that comparing them to dinosaurs might be a bit misleading. I mean, while some of these animals were definitely terrifying, dinosaurs have this unique place in our imaginations that makes them stand out in a different way. What do you all think?
Terror Birds like Phorosrochos were basically 10ft tall roadrunners; miniature tyrannosaurs in their behavior and anatomy that'd been upgraded to live on smaller-sized game.
Practically every Devonian fish big enough for it to hitch a lift on in that way would be either too armored to pierce or too predatory to tangle with, though.
They were offering duncleostius instead of cod or haddock at our local chip shop but they had to stop selling the because the kept eating your chips LOL
Could be, but carbon dating is pretty accurate. It's based on the decay of carbon in bones and or flesh and even mineral deposits around it think about it like this most fossils are found in either coastal or mountainous areas or swamps due to changes in elevation from tectonic plates we know the dates of super ancient materials
Dinosaurs lived after the great flood. Noah got two species of every land animal on the ark. He didn't get adult animals but the smaller younger versions of each species and when you think about what animals it wasn't like he took two wolves, two dingos, two poodles but he took a male and female of the k9 species in the boat. Another example he didn't take two lions, two tigers, two jaguars but he took a male and female cat species animal
carbon dating is only accurate in thousands of years but has proved to be flawed when it comes to millions of years ...keep up. it fails to consider the possibility of added radiation also. And explain to me how a tree can grow up through layers of sedimentary rock. Carbon dating is FAR from accurate.
I don't deny Evolution, quite the opposite actually. But one thing that still boggles my mind is that Evolution seems "sentient", for lack of a better word. It "knows" what traits to erase and adopt for the most part. My question is how? How does it "know" that it's best for elephants to have only two tusks and bent upwards, with a much smaller lower jaw? How does it know where to build armor? It's something I never heard anyone talking about. Like the fish. How does the embrio know it has to develop thick plating in the head if the parents didn't have it? I gotta know. And no, it's not "God done did it".
It may appear as if evolutionary changes were sentient decisions but we have to remember all of the species that have failed to adapt and are now extinct. Also for every evolutionary trait in a species there are thousands within that species that may have perished due to not possessing the trait for example early giraffes with shorter necks wouldn't have been able to eat high plant matter and would have starved so the genetic traits of shorter neck will have been bred out of the species and so on... this is my understanding of it anyway but I'm no professional in the matter however this is the information I have come across with the same question
Thinking of evolution as conscious isn’t going to paint an accurate picture. Evolution comes down to breeding and passing down genes that determine physical traits. Genes will go extinct by not being passed on because the individuals that have or don’t have certain physical characteristics die off because they weren’t physically fit enough to survive and pass down genes to offspring. It almost looks like evolution “knows” how to choose but it’s not choice, it’s pretty much an inevitability.
Hindsight is 20-20. We see the animals whose bodies and features worked out for their time and habitat, and don't see the countless genetically-random alternatives that didn't.
Higher sea temps would cause the water to hold less dissolved oxygen, so the Hangenberg Event very well may have been caused by a MASSIVE increase in global temps. Which would also correlate with accelerated plant growth and evolution during the Carboniferous Period.
wow a million years before dinosaurs...also the atmosphere of the planet was different at that time as well...and it this fish lasted 50 million years! much longer than humans. the land masses were different then if they even existed. the dinosaus lasted approx 200 million years (whew) distroyed 65 million years ago.This was a great video thanks for this.
Enjoyed the unbiased commentary that was scientifically driven and never offered up matter of fact conclusions that were just speculations. This is the opposite of cosmology shows that keep spilling nonsense theories that arent supported by scientific data as matter of fact laws. My son loves these shows and so do I.
😂 No. I know it's not flat. I was in the military. We had to look through very powerful scopes to see out up to 20 kilometer distances. Even on a what appears to be a flat stretch of land, you cannot see entire structures that were out past 10km. You could only see the tops of the structures or the heads of people that I knew were there, such as other teammates when we did split team operations. i.e.) because of the gentle curvature out at these close distances, only a percentage of the objects were visible instead of the entire person or structure as would be expected on a flat earth.

@R3DWOLFY96 no we don't need a time machine we don't need to mess up the past like we've messed up the present and Future we've done enough damage we don't need to do more especially when it's connected to us if we were to make a time machine we'd most definitely ruin the past it would affect the future greatly

Imagine being teleported back to the devonian and taking a swim in this sea... Its practically like visiting another planet. Everything is different.
The Bloop ws the scariest of all. And some say The Bloop still exists!
Yeah icebergs are scary.
wow, this video is really well-made and super informative! I loved how you highlighted these ancient creatures. but honestly, I feel like calling them scarier than dinosaurs might be a bit of a stretch. I mean, dinosaurs have this iconic status and their sheer size just can’t be understated. what do you all think?
Fantastic video. Literally one of the best I've ever seen. Love the detail and imagery. Great info and the way you give all sides of a hypothesis
Sorry to disappoint you but this video is utterly horrible. Even in first 2 minutes this video managed to spew out so much false data that CIA would be jealous.
1. Dinosaurs are not lizards.
2. Birds are dinosaurs
3. Whole blabbering about dinosaurs and showing some pictures of them there is a picture of dimetrodon, Permian non mammalian synapsid, not dinosaur.
I just stopped watching this crap as it is full of false info.
i really enjoyed this video! the visuals were stunning and the facts were super interesting. but honestly, i feel like some of these ancient animals are overhyped. sure, they were huge and unique, but i think people often forget just how terrifying some modern predators can be. it makes you wonder which is scarier in the end, right?
Dunkleosteus AKA The Giant Aquatic Bolt Cutter creature
The Cambrian Explosion was fascinating, have you done a video on that?
In aircraft, forward swept wings create an "unstable" aerodynamic situation. Which makes controlled stable movement more difficult and less energy efficient, but also makes the vehicle more agile and responsive.
Hydro and aero dynamics share many principles. If the same applies so water, then perhaps this fish evolved forward swept fins to better evade predators or better bring its "spear" to bear.
The energy cost of less efficient hydrodynamics also implies a food rich environment. (Given that efficiency is a major component in most creatures.)
0:25 it took me 20 years of my life to realize dinosaurs is something some people do not believe in, I had no clue and can’t process why. Guess they take “how do I believe you if I’ve never seen one” to the next level😂
Great video, thanks.
The fact is is that none of this is fact .its all a guess . And a decietful guess to undermined God
@@richardcoble9498 bible speaks of large creatures and "leviathans" that once roamed the earth and seas though😅
Lmao @00:58 that’s the werewolf from Bad Moon… solid lower-budget flick. Stars the kid from the 90’s Dennis the Menace. Great animatronics but terrible CGI transformation scene. Good jump scares. Definitely recommend it.
As a guy named Dennis I approve this message
So we have a Relicanth, a Dodo Bird and an ancient Vulture.
Me an ARK player:
Is the first one a fricking Ferrox in monster form?
YES! Argentavis!
What’s the avain beside the Arggy? Which map is it in??? I never seen that bird in Ark before!!!
@@learnfrom3128 Do you mean the Snow Owl from Extinction? O.o Those are the only birdy birds!
How did they know this much about this fish? They don’t even have a complete skeleton. It’s all a guessing game.
Totally. The same with space and many other scientific branches. Guesses and theories
@@7Andy77exactly. And religion, too. All guesswork.
Is not guessing, is basically looking at how other similar creatures today act.
They're speculators, not scientist.
They're no different than people who believe in big foot or UFO's.

Nothing is scare than Kardashians
Basically Andrewsarkus was a gigantic predatory *sheep* the size of the largest species of *horse* ever to exist; it was, simply put, a carnivorous lamb.
Would that make it a literal wolf in sheep's clothing? A real life version of the "Beware of false prophets" tale.
@@och70 No, more like a sheep in wolf's clothing to be exact, but one that'd *hunt* the wolves.
I think it looks like a GIANT modern-day hyena!
@@janicecole2722 Notice the feet: those're hooves, as in *sheep hooves* on Andrewsarkus; that is the giveaway: it is a carnivorous sheep.
@@janicecole2722 Then look at its *feet*, those give away its true family line: it is a carnivorous sheep.
Exellent video. Thank you 😊
Evolution went from being strong to weak. It’s like Pokemon from their last form to their first form.
That's very incorrect.
@@jasminecollins897 how?
@@DCmartian01 that's fundamentally not how evolution works. It literally cannot work that way. Just because animals look less impressive to you in their current forms doesn't mean they're weak. They're well adapted for the current environment, and constantly getting better adapted for it. A very large animal is more vulnerable to environmental change of all kinds. That's why they've mostly died out. Smaller animals are able to be more agile and adaptable. They can reproduce more quickly, move more quickly to evade predators, and they won't starve as easily if food is unavailable.
One of the strongest and most adaptable species on the planet is the norway rat. Just because it doesn't look cool to you does not mean it's not absolutely winning in evolutionary terms. You're just looking at nature through the lense of a literal cartoon.
Perhaps conditions have changed? Also you are simply wrong.
How much pokemon do you consume a day? Serious question. Namely, because youre comparing evolution to pokemon , whereas evolution came first than that Japanese media franchise. Im surprised neither 1 of the 2 people who replied, noticed that incoherence.
"Im eating your tail! Im having fun!". "I'm eating you twice as fast. Up to your middle. Im having a ball!".
0:00 where is the clip is from? the giant werewolf look kinda awsome
A video about the Licalotapus would be a sight to behold.
if it was for real , how does anyone know what anything looked like millions of years ago even before the dinosaurs?
@@GODisLIGHT-k2gvery true. I heard not long ago that a lot more prehistoric creatures had feathers than archeologists once thought so just imagining the intense & bright color variations that could have been on some of these beast is mind blowing but I was being silly with the "Lic-alot-a-pus", a lesbian dinosaur 😁
Where is the creature that was on the coverpage of the video?
You've been clickbaited homie
Fishing back then would've been something and all the species we don't know and won't know truly fascinating
why compare dunkleosteus biteforce to a polar bear and not a great white or at least a saltie (strongest bite force in the animal kingdom)
seems like a really random comparison
I wonder why as a kid I always hated watching documentaries like this but now I’m practically fascinated… 🤷🏾♂️
People from North Sentinel Islands dont know what a dinosaur is
Those people are murderers and they need to be held accountable for their crimes
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess How can cave men be held responsible for murders, don't you know they are cut- off from the rest of the world for last 3,000 years, they don't even know what a religion is. They are the last surviving species of primitive men&women, why should they care about the rules of the modern world, or shall I say let's colonise them like we did in Asia in the past and then teach them what real democracy and freedom is and when they are fed up from slavery and when they will fight against their oppressors then the so called 1st world countries can sit back and enjoy the show with popcorn in mouth as if nothing happened and they are not to be blamed

I'd say anything during the era when there were giant insects running around are more terrifying than the dinosaurs
The P in pterodactyl and pterosaur are silent, there I said it! That was driving me nuts.
What is more ridiculous, words with letters that are not to be pronounced or pronouncing a word exactly like it is spelled? Do you also get irritated if people drive on a parkway or park in a driveway?
@@michaelcrispin1879 it's called English, the pronunciation is part of the language. do I pronounce your name mi-ch-ay-el or mike-al?
Simply put, all languages have rules. "Everybody does it" is no defense for bad grammar. Our education system is woefully failing our young, though many older people who should know better do it too. It isn't rocket science, we are (at least used to be) taught this by third grade.
@lancerevell5979 absolutely! In a time where everyone literally has access to a small computer that can spell check with a 2 minute search, many are too lazy to even do that let alone learn from the mistake when corrected.
thenwhy the f if P there? tell your goverment to remove it
Fantastic video
Really interesting, but as I watch I wonder how do they know any of this? They have no skeletons… nothing. What are the sources of this info?
You wouldn't happen to be a creationist, flat earther etc, would you? Just Google dunkleosteus fossil, you're welcome.
first off, this video is super intriguing and really well put together! I never knew some ancient animals were so terrifying. but honestly, I’m not sure if I’d really call them scarier than dinosaurs. I mean, T. rex and its massive teeth have a whole different vibe, right? just a thought!
Ok immediately I had to pause and rewind on that saw toothed shark turtle clam monster and I hope rest of video is about that creature.

I heard petrosaurs too. Sadly, I did not hear dieselodontids.
This channel always seems to be right on point, despite leaving that one species, who knew with all of the money, pouring into “endangered species campaigns,” that there out there somewhere, “living fossils” still exist!

The AI narration is wild 😂
‘We can talk not about all of them’
Next time i see a bear or elephant imma start thinking "ha hes just a small fry"
In the era of dinosaurs, we were NOT there. We did not live in that time. The past, as recounted, remains shrouded in a haze of fiction. A reminder that much of what we believe is built upon the foundation of human imagination.
❤
I disagree. There is much evidence that has been studied by dedicated formally educated professionals.
@@meatslide Yes, we believe we know the sounds they made, the colors they had, how strong they were, and who their enemies were. But there's a lot of speculation. It's important to remain realistic and not simply accept everything as absolute truth, as we were never there in that time. Not that everything is nonsense, but a significant portion of it is.
@@renederuiter4786I'm like with the notion of God no one truly knows either way so why say anything else other than "I don't know and limited capacity of the human mind probably can't even imagine what the actual origin is either way our notion of what a God type being wound be probably falls very short if there is one and equally our idea of the universe probably falls very short of it's true nature....and it's almost a futile task of trying to figure it out answers only lead to more questions and the "how /who / what made and where did it come from just gets pushed back and it's never ending... God made it .. what made God .. what made that.. what made that ...into infinity...and even then saying it infinite doesn't answer it because if it's infinite it must have had a start at some point as I just don't believe something at some level can infinitely exist without it having a beginning.... numbers for example are infinite yet it still starts at 0 ...and no matter what the right answer is eventually you reach a point where something comes from nothing...it's an impossible question to answer that is basically an infinite loop ... maybe thats they answer the universe is an infinite loop and the beginning is the end ..maybe not
The mind races with visions of young iguanodons covered in the blood of their first tyrannosaur kill, while a pack of small mammals overpower their third raptor kill of the day… 😆🤓
They only looked like monsters, but they were actually quiet sweet.
The lack of good parenting and at home education of kids simply amazes me. I had a 10 or 11 year old boy next door who had no idea of what a mammoth or mastodon was. I was all over that when I was 7 or probably before that. The next time I was at my MD's office a science magazine in the waiting room had a rather detailed article on mammoths. I asked for and received the magazine explaining it was for a neighbor's kid. How pitiful can it get?
Knowing what a Mammoth is, is useless information.
@@johnyewtube2286 I believe scratching a curiosity itch is a good thing. Not being curious is a scary thought.
It's not uncommon with cannibalism in the sea. The common fish known as Pike is also a cannibal.

Damn, dude is doing Mesasaurus DIRTY.

Wow, this video was super interesting and really well put together! I loved learning about these ancient creatures. However, I can’t help but think that comparing them to dinosaurs might be a bit misleading. I mean, while some of these animals were definitely terrifying, dinosaurs have this unique place in our imaginations that makes them stand out in a different way. What do you all think?
It's interesting how life on Earth us always changing. I'm sure it will continue.
Still sad it turns out dunky was smaller than we thought. He was much tinier than 10m 😢😢😢😢
Terror Birds like Phorosrochos were basically 10ft tall roadrunners; miniature tyrannosaurs in their behavior and anatomy that'd been upgraded to live on smaller-sized game.
Those birds aren’t as scary when on a big spit with a hot sauce rub with a bit of salt. Feed the whole village. Thank you.
@@r.d.sandman6474 In theory; yet those animals would be deadly game.
They glide on Ark with those small wings
@@anthonyjones9868 Well, seeing as "Ark" is a fantasy science game, it is meaningless.
They will certainly return, millions of years from now, when seriemas evolve into new species!!!
The ark clips killed me😂
I imagine Doryaspis as something like the Tick of the seas, piercing larger animals with their rostrum and staying put with those serrated fins
That would make sense.
Practically every Devonian fish big enough for it to hitch a lift on in that way would be either too armored to pierce or too predatory to tangle with, though.
The broken English from such a clear speaking voice is wild! Either the narrator is reading a script verbatim or this is Ai
They were offering duncleostius instead of cod or haddock at our local chip shop but they had to stop selling the because the kept eating your chips LOL

Could science be wrong about how old dinosaurs actually are, could dino actually been buried by the great flood lol
Could be, but carbon dating is pretty accurate. It's based on the decay of carbon in bones and or flesh and even mineral deposits around it think about it like this most fossils are found in either coastal or mountainous areas or swamps due to changes in elevation from tectonic plates we know the dates of super ancient materials
Science is wrong about alot of they and most things are just there best guess its not exactly right
Dinosaurs lived after the great flood. Noah got two species of every land animal on the ark. He didn't get adult animals but the smaller younger versions of each species and when you think about what animals it wasn't like he took two wolves, two dingos, two poodles but he took a male and female of the k9 species in the boat. Another example he didn't take two lions, two tigers, two jaguars but he took a male and female cat species animal
carbon dating is only accurate in thousands of years but has proved to be flawed when it comes to millions of years ...keep up. it fails to consider the possibility of added radiation also. And explain to me how a tree can grow up through layers of sedimentary rock. Carbon dating is FAR from accurate.
A bird on a branch outside your window is a dinosaur.
I don't deny Evolution, quite the opposite actually. But one thing that still boggles my mind is that Evolution seems "sentient", for lack of a better word. It "knows" what traits to erase and adopt for the most part. My question is how? How does it "know" that it's best for elephants to have only two tusks and bent upwards, with a much smaller lower jaw? How does it know where to build armor? It's something I never heard anyone talking about. Like the fish. How does the embrio know it has to develop thick plating in the head if the parents didn't have it? I gotta know. And no, it's not "God done did it".
It may appear as if evolutionary changes were sentient decisions but we have to remember all of the species that have failed to adapt and are now extinct. Also for every evolutionary trait in a species there are thousands within that species that may have perished due to not possessing the trait for example early giraffes with shorter necks wouldn't have been able to eat high plant matter and would have starved so the genetic traits of shorter neck will have been bred out of the species and so on... this is my understanding of it anyway but I'm no professional in the matter however this is the information I have come across with the same question
I believe pain is what determines what to evolve
Thinking of evolution as conscious isn’t going to paint an accurate picture. Evolution comes down to breeding and passing down genes that determine physical traits. Genes will go extinct by not being passed on because the individuals that have or don’t have certain physical characteristics die off because they weren’t physically fit enough to survive and pass down genes to offspring. It almost looks like evolution “knows” how to choose but it’s not choice, it’s pretty much an inevitability.
Hindsight is 20-20. We see the animals whose bodies and features worked out for their time and habitat, and don't see the countless genetically-random alternatives that didn't.
Hungry Shark devs are grinning right now
Dinosaurs weren’t lizards btw
But I had a girlfriend that was.....

Higher sea temps would cause the water to hold less dissolved oxygen, so the Hangenberg Event very well may have been caused by a MASSIVE increase in global temps. Which would also correlate with accelerated plant growth and evolution during the Carboniferous Period.
Maybe we could ask joe biden or nancy pelosi what it was like when they grew up back then
37:00...I was thinking bears but that too lol
Diospice probably had those protrusions to burry themselves just like turtles do
wow a million years before dinosaurs...also the atmosphere of the planet was different at that time as well...and it this fish lasted 50 million years! much longer than humans. the land masses were different then if they even existed. the dinosaus lasted approx 200 million years (whew) distroyed 65 million years ago.This was a great video thanks for this.
Enjoyed the unbiased commentary that was scientifically driven and never offered up matter of fact conclusions that were just speculations. This is the opposite of cosmology shows that keep spilling nonsense theories that arent supported by scientific data as matter of fact laws. My son loves these shows and so do I.
do you think the earth is flat
😂 No. I know it's not flat. I was in the military. We had to look through very powerful scopes to see out up to 20 kilometer distances. Even on a what appears to be a flat stretch of land, you cannot see entire structures that were out past 10km. You could only see the tops of the structures or the heads of people that I knew were there, such as other teammates when we did split team operations. i.e.) because of the gentle curvature out at these close distances, only a percentage of the objects were visible instead of the entire person or structure as would be expected on a flat earth.
@@nrodas255ok good haha, I was unsure about your phrase "cosmology shows that keep spilling nonsense"
Wow, this video is really well put together! The visuals and information are on point. But honestly, I wonder if some of these ancient animals are getting more credit than they deserve. Sure, they look intimidating, but a lot of them were quite different from what we typically think of as "scary." I guess it just shows how our perceptions can be influenced by what we see in movies, right? What do you all think?
