Remingtonocetids the Weird Walking Whales

- We often think of evolution as a straight forward process along a singular lineage but of course this isn’t really the case. Most animals along an evolutionary sequence are usually common ancestors of each other and sometimes families of animals go off and do their own thing entirely. This was very well demonstrated among the remingtonocetids that are usually seen a s a transition from land animal to whale but are actually a very distinct group of animals that evolved in their own direction.

2:01 small mistake. Thats a amazon redtail catfish a fresh water species :3
Got ‘eem!
@@FightTheByte_ bruh I get standard static noise from opening a video on youtube
An*
It's small mistakes like this that don't fly in a channel like Pbs eons. Otherwise great stuff
Can you do the meat eating unglates
Minor mistake at 8 minutes in, I said dorudontids when it should be dorudontines
reupload
Another minor mistake: That catfish is not marine. It's Phractocephelus hemiolioptera, the redtailed catfish, native to the Amazon basin. You'd do better with one of the ariidae or pangusiidae.
I forgive you xd
your videos are wicked cool. I Drive trucks for a living and don't get the opportunity to learn much, I'm very grateful for your channel.
Pin your comment so every one can see if you not pin then your comment get lost in comment section. Anyways great video.
Remington: Hey what should I name this whale?
Empty room full of bones:
Remington: *chuckles* I love my job.
Such a shit meme. Makes me cringe every time I read it.
@Steam Powered Maniac - hehehe 😁 good one.. 🌏☮️
Whoever's art you're using here certainly makes these animals look beautiful. Makes me wish I could go back in time and see one for myself.
I agree! I believe that the animal illustrations are done by the artists listed in the bottom left of each photo, and the channel adds the environmental backgrounds
Giving yourself the name 'Ken Ham' to sponsor a video about evolution is beautiful, I love it
Maybe the real K.H. is a closeted evolutionist.
Paulogia must be informed of this development.
I agree, it's absolutely hilarious.
I’m considering donating to this channel so I can also get Kent Hovine’s name in the donations.
I think caring about Ken Ham in 2020 is a bit petty to be honest
Don't know why you took so long to come up in my recommended feed but I'm glad I'm here.
This channel reminds me of ben g thomas and henry the paleoguy but somehow with a different vibe.
All three of them are the precious hidden treasure in the UA-cam.
THE PREHISTRINITY
I like all three, but he sort of sounds like Ben G. I listen to them quite a bit, I only recently found this channel. Prehistory is fascinating to me, especially extinct mammals, I grew up learning about dinosaurs, but the mammals that came after I had little knowledge of. It wasn’t until they made Walking with Prehistoric Beasts that they finally gained the public eye and now you hear a lot about them. I love that and each time I seem to learn something new.
All brilliant work
Exactly my thoughts.
Man your really underrated you deserve more because all your videos are high quality and very informative. Keep up the good work, Thanks
Remingtonocdetids in a nutshell: Furry Crocodiles "but they're whales".
Mammal-ugulate croc
It's Fake Nutshell
@@basilomori23422 Trust me bro nutshell
They look more like gharials than crocodiles
Great video, however the example for a "marine" catfish at 2:00 is a freshwater red tail catfish!
plus it lives in South America not Asia
Love this channel! A video on the evolution of hummingbirds may be interesting. They are just so different from other birds, I've always wondered what shaped their evolutionary path.
I noticed your canine video listed rabbits as the example of the small prey of modern wolves, most arctic wolves live almost entirely from hunting voles. I am sure you know Voles are several times smaller than rabbits, and it is a surprising and interesting fact about these brave hunters, that they are primarily small rodent eaters in one of the harshest climates on the earth. Great videos! Binging and subscribed.
Thanks I didn't know that before. I just previously assumed rabbits would be the smallest animals they'd hunt. However we do know that domestic dogs of all sizes love to hunt and eat rats and mice. And dogs are a domesticated sub species of wolf so it makes all the sense in the world for arctic wolves to subsist largely on voles if that's mainly what's available in their environment.
Not surprising to learn that a canid eats whatever it can fit in its mouth. :)
The thing is they have smaller packs than normal, so they can't hunt large animals, but the only other food there are small, which can't feed them all.

Nice, since I subbed 2 days ago, you've gone from 10K to 11.4K subscribers. I wish you only the best going forward. You make excellent content and I'm so happy to find more information on prehistoric mammals, dinosaurs are cool and all, but mammals need some love too. Can I tempt you into a future video on how pronghorn antelope are adapted to a predator they no longer have? American cheetahs.
Its 12.5k in 11 hours only
Looks like we found the next winner of the youtube algorithm lottery.
16.7 know
He kinda already made a video on that. It’s called why lemurs are trrified of predators that don’t exist
so happy to find this channel , 22.3K subscribers now , reminds me of Ben G Thomas but with a slightly different different vibe, absolutely love it
Was binge watching your vids when you uploaded lol
x2
I end up doing this once every other month. I guess I need a refresher. Fascinating stuff, this.
me 3
Same x4
this is one of the best channels about evolution, maaaann.
Found this channel during a difficult time in my life it helped me to put life in perspective .
This channel is criminally underrated
Sounds to me like they occupied a niche somewhere between dolphins and seals
I'd say more like crocs and seals
Great channel. Thanks for the well presented and not too watered down information
What a nice surprise! I've been binge watching your videos today. Your channel is soo great! It is exactly the content and quality I was searching for. I like also PBS Eons, Ben G Thomas and Trey the explainer but Moth Light Media is like the best things from those channels combined!
He lacks still the 3 best parts of each. A budget like PBS, terrible intros like Ben G Thomas, and Jojo refernces, like Trey.
i especially like how this channel is more systematic than eons with cladograms to put everything into an evolutionary perspective.
Any best parts of mine? Just curious. :)
This channel is incredible. Easily one of the most informative and digestible ones I've ever come across.
The production of your videos came a long way since a year ago!
I find your videos to be very enjoyable and therapeutic. Thank you!
Luckily it seemes like I’m not the only one who got you in the recommended. I’m so glad i got blessed with your videos, keep it up.
I so love your videos!! This is exactly what I needed- thank you for your hard work and all the great information!
This channel is so amazing I love this. If small child me lived nowadays I would do nothing else than watch your videos all day and be amazed.
Absolutely love the videos man, keep doing what you’re doing
I love there’s a smart Ken Ham.
Ken Ham is quite smart. He fooled millions of dumb people into giving him money for his ridiculous theme park.
@@ProfezorSnayp True. Questionably educated, certainly not a genius, annoyingly arrogant and unwilling to correct his numerous mistakes, but certainly smart in life and money making. He's simply a good con artist.
This is legit my favorite channel right now!
You are getting an extreme increase of subs atm and I really really love to see that ! Keep up the great work
Great video, I love your content. I hope you continue to grow in subs for years to come!
I’ve recently stumbled across your channel and I got to say it’s one of the best natural history channels I’ve seen.
Ngl, this is my new favorite channel
I don’t know why this account isn’t more popular! Awesome videos, please keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your videos are very informative and entertaining. I hope you'll get more viewers with time. You deserve that!
This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels on UA-cam
Fantastic paleontology. Very precise, very informative, and very well written
Found this hidden gem of a channel with few thousand subscribers, I bet you will reach hundreds of thousands one day...
Been binge-watching these ever free moment I get for the last several days..
Your content is great! Love your videos and your dedication!
I just finished binged watching everything and I enjoy everything that I have watched! It's interesting and I've learned new things along with the things I already knew!
Thank you for this!
this channel is severely underrated, every video is great
I see lots of modern walking whales where I live.
Video is great my man. Just subscribed ur great as hell. Keep up the good work
Bro you are about to blow up, I subscribed like 5h ago and you had 12k subs and now you are over 13k, glad that quality content like yours is being promoted, cheers!
Another 5 star video. Thanks man!
man, yesterday i bingewatch your WHOLE CHANNEL... you need to do more videos :D
Convergent evolution is just fascinating! Similar evolutionary factors, create similar physical plans!
I will gladly accompany in your journey to many subscribers
Amazing content man, keep it up! Evolution is the best.
Not a lot of prehistoric wild life analysis focussed channels out there. Subbed
You make first class material. I sincerely hope your subscriber base grows.
My exam about Life Sciences is coming up and your videos are the best way to relax while still be in touch with my studies. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.
Everybody gangster, till the whale starts walking.
In our case. It stopped walking
God, i love your videos, theyre so calming with that music in the background.. please keep doing what you're doing❤
Congrats on the 40k subs. Instantly subbed after watching one of your videos. I just love fact based animal related content
Will you consider doing a video about Parallel Evolution?
Like, both birds and pteranodons evolved wings to fly, but also both evolved beaks.
Lucas Liso it’s called convergent evolution not parallel evolution.. just a tip.
@@charliebowen5071 No, Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time. Birds and Pteranodons coexisted in the same period, the cretaceous period.
Parallel evolution is the similar development of a trait in distinct species that are not closely related, but share a similar original trait in response to similar evolutionary pressure. In the case of birds and pteranodons: Wings and a beak.
man i hope this channel will grow
Love the channel, paleontology is my most favorite subjects period. I also love whale ancestors. You need more subs too
This channel has literally gained 30k subs in the week or so since I found it wtf, mad props MLM
This video is thorough and thoroughly dope!
Dude, I hope you channel really blows up. I have a sense that you could be the next! Keep up!
Awesome channel. Deserves way more attention. Keep it up, I'm sure views etc will pick up soon.
Underrated channel.
I adore your channel the way that you explain all these facts makes me want to watch more and more 😅 keep it up mate have a nice day
New sub here and I just wanted to say that I love your content!
Just discovered your channel and im glad i did
Quality videos keep up the good work
I just found this channel since I watch a lot of similar stuff to fall asleep to and i was plesantly surprised :)
I love the tone of voice where its calm enough to doze off to but not too monotone either where it gets uninteresting,
so im happy to see you're keeping that by.
tbh i wasnt sure about subscribing but I saw how you responded to critisism and corrections and that swayed my decision,
so i hope to see this channel grow even more (you're already doing really well for the fact that you only started a year ago!)
and Im excited to see and hear more of what storys you have to tell :)
Just subbed man, enjoy your work. Please keep it up. You're gonna be big soon. I'll take pride knowing I I was here early.
Your content is really good my dude, I hope you keep it up and that your channel continues to grow. Please do a video on rays and other cartilaginous fishes!
To be honest the editing and the quality of your'e videos is amazing. To be honest one of the best educational channels on yt. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks man really appreciate it
these videos are criminally interesting
Found your channel last week and have binged almost all of your videos. Thanks for the excellent content. It may not seem like it now, but you will definitely blow past 100k subs in no time. You have the quality, the topics, and the algorithm is tying you to other earth sciences channels in the recommendations. As you have asked for ideas, I don't know if there's enough data to make an episode on the evolution of butterfly metamorphosis, but I'd really love to see one on that. I've tried to find other videos on the topic, but there don't seem to be any. All the videos that reference "evolution of butterfly metamorphosis" seem to discuss the lifecycle process of a single butterfly (biological changes in an individual over its life) rather than the evolution of the trait itself.
As someone who has a history of debating creationists in my school years, I honestly don't know how one could reconcile this evidence with creationism. The development of whales has got to be the best and clearest evidence of evolution
Christians don't care about evidence. If they did they wouldn't be Christians.
Thanks for more vids about walking Whales, I'm planning on using them in a fantasy setting and the more I know about them the better.
Hey that's really cool
@@mothlightmedia1936
thanks, I figured they'd fit well because they can handle cold better than crocs. add in some shrew style venom and you've got an interesting animal for the characters to deal with.
@@mothlightmedia1936 Are you ever going to do some videos on the evolution of Plants??
To all what I heard in comment section, this channel gained a lot of abos in the recent month. That's totally deserved and I hope I will keep rising. it's amazing how the content about evolution is brought to life again and people enjoying it to watch and learn about.
Do a video on the Desmostylians, the only extinct order of marine mammals.
Try Ben G Thomas they have a video on that it was really interesting
congratulations for 100k subs 💖
Always found whales a fascinating topic. Thanks for the presentation. :)
wow, what a treasure trove of content
Love the channel
Great stuff
Really enjoying your channel sofar! Thank you for all the effort put into these videos. I’d love to see a feature on bats, powered flight and echolocation in mammals sometime in the future, if it’s not too much to ask? ;) Thank you again!
Great video
You deserve much more subs...
This channel is what youtube was made for!
I fucking love your videos. Also your narration is the best in this part of UA-cam. Also, mandatory here before 1 mil subs
Just found your channel and have been watching all the videos. For such a small channel I think you should pride your self on how high quality and professional these are , and keep up the good content. You remind me of Ben G Thomas or trey the explainer .
Great content, you need more subs. Gonna spread your name around UA-cam
Need to create playlists my guy. I just found you and there is no easy way for me to sample your content.
Walking whales!so amazing to finally hear this,after all these years of imagining, how this transition happened. You are much appreciated for beautiful videos. 🐊🦕🦖🦎
When you watch those Giant Otters from South America at the zoo, they seem to be incedible swimmers but when they do crawl out onto the land they are so awkward and ungainly, their short legs almost being unable to carry them, it's almost as if you can 'predict' that in a few million years they might evolve into some seal / sea lion like creature.
I wish you BenG and North 02 had podcasts on Spotify. I would love to listen while I play my games or clean house
Whales are probably the most difficult evolutionary lines for me to process. Most lines make sense, a mouse-looking mammal turning into an ape and stuff, but for an ocean going animal to give rise to mammals and then return to the ocean to fit in completely with the animals that never left is wild.
Nice job! You gotta new sub
I like these guys
Very interesting
Wish these guys were still around. They sound super cute.
great video
@k1w1 nice try. Chinese spy bot. You can't trick you.
Damn you’re growing fast
Would love to see a video on the fauna that the first humans found themsevles surrounded with, great channel - its poised to blow up I'm sure
