The ceratopsid find is super neat but I cannot for the life of me get over 500lb goose. I've been casually observing and recording my local goose flock's behavior over the past few months purely for myself (I have no research backing or formal education, just good at identifying individual birds + started to notice how complex thet are) and have grown a massive love of canada geese in the process. They're such weird goofballs.
I genuinely love that you're talking such an interest solely for the sake of the geese being interesting to you, because yeah! Geese are so cool!!!! 💖💖💖
We had a flock of geese attack a school bus a few years back. We all just sat there and stared at the radio as the driver asked for help. They started attacking a minivan and she tried to move her bus only to be stopped again. The geese held the intersection hostage off and on all day.
Hank? Fossils?? Coolest??? The??! You guys really know how to spoil us ❤ Gotta give a big thank you to the Stanley family for making all of this possible and accessible to us all, we love the whole SciShow family 🎉🫶
As an environmental Geologist who minored in Paleontology and dipped my toes in Paleomagnetism in my masters, I think you are making an excellent choice!
I think I’ve accidentally developed a sleep onset association with Kallie’s voice. I’ve been listening to Eon’s to go to sleep lately and it’s perfect to drift off to. I was WIDE AWAKE right up until she spoke in this video and then got hit by the drowsies so fast. I can’t go to sleep, I have a 10 week old baby to feed! 😂 Love you both!
You would probably love the guy that narrates _History of the Universe_ or _History of the Earth._ He also has one of those soothing voices that everyone loves to fall asleep to.
This is actually one of the reasons one of the more recent species, genyornis, went extinct. The 1.6kg eggs (yes, bigger than ostrich eggs of 1.3kg!) were constantly taken by recently-invading humans and there are hundreds of sites where genyornis egg shell fragments have been found. The egg fragments show that humans spent thousands of years taking and cooking large amounts of genyornis eggs until they drove them extinct. It's the same wasteful, careless behaviour exhibited by people in New Zealand against the moas and Madagascar against the elephant birds. This was 40,000 years before humans purchased dogs from New Guinea (dingoes), so the genyornis at least never had to be harried by dogs.
Their eggs were a little larger than ostrich eggs, 1.6kg to ostrichs' 1.3kg. This is actually one of the main drivers for their extinction, as recently-arrived humans spent thousands of years taking their eggs. People did the same thing to the moas in NZ and the elephant bird in Madagascar: took everything without any care for the species, and the birds couldn't rear an empty nest. (bit briefer than I'd like to explain but my long comment was too long or something? It got yeeted)
Thanks so much for what you do, it's always fascinating. Will be encouraging my granddaughters to watch you too. We appreciate you in New Zealand, and are jealous of those big Alberta dinosaurs .Happy New Year!!!
Imagining the giga-bite of the giga-goose. Being chased by a gaggle of ‘em would be no laughing matter. I googled goose attack and found a man in his kayak attacked by swans. They killed him. He worked for a company that supplies swans to keep away Canadian geese from making a mess in residential neighborhoods. Now looking forward to the discovery of the superswan.
I love all of these videos. And the Emily’s news actually gave me a high. How FUN!!!!! But no one gives the brain tingles like Hank Green. Even if we do also love Emily.
Going gaga for a giga goose is understandable. I'm more mind blown by how insanely much new knowledge could be found in something the size of a teeny tiny poppy seed.
As a person with a moderate snake phobia, I find the idea of a 10-cm, 10-ft, and 10-m snake equally scary. 10 mm feels okay and actually so does 10 km. Brains are weird!
Just a thought, but if you find a fossil of a burrowing animal, could the fact it has dug down into the strata effect the dating of that fossil, or do they take that into consideration somehow?
While the idea of the giga goose is as terrifying as it is hilarious, I'm surprised they didn't talk about the Homotherium cub ice mummy! That's a HUGE discovery that's going to tell us so much about saber-tooth cats and the environment they lived in! Does it not count because it isn't technically a fossil? I feel like it should count. :/
As a Canadian, the Gigagoose is a terrifying thought.
Anaconda-chicken. 😬
Certainly sounds scarier than a MegaMallard.
Attitude of goose… size of lion??? Hell no thank you!
agreed lmaoo
Was coming down to leave exactly the same comment. Absolutely not, nooooo thank you.
Maybe the giga goose is regular size and our goose is more like a mini goose
Shudder....
It's all a matter of perspective, I guess. All geese are big in the eye of the beholder, lol
aww, satan chicken...
One extra large goose to go please
Would you rather fight one gigagoose-sized goose, or 100 goose-sized gigageese?
Eons and Scishow together? Amazing collab!!!
Actually, it kinda just seems like an Eons video.
They do these collabs all the time. It’s great.
Same company owns both
I read the title as the “Cutest Fossils from 2024” and was ready for some cute fossils
Awww..!
*video starts with the biggest snake*😮
they are VERY CUTE
and thats just what you got
Glad you weren't disappointed.
Love PBS EONS. Glad to see Kallie here.

I bet the Giga Goose honked like a Mack truck! 😂
Nah, that thing probably honks like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim
@@friedrichsanktgermain7632 That gave me a good chuckle, thanks
😂
I get scared when a normal goose chases me, a giga goose - aw hell naw I’m out.

I'll always remember the "the".
@@HattieLankford-24 shout out to "the", 2024s GOAT for noun representation 👏🙌✊
Long live The!
I was in shock and awe at the "the"
Agree!
Side note: I'm still feeling grateful-overwhelm-spoiled by Hank's presence, in general ❤
Videos like this are part of why I'm going into environmental geological sciences
As an environmental Geologist who minored in Paleontology and dipped my toes in Paleomagnetism in my masters, I think you are making an excellent choice!
There is another ancient giant flightless Australian bird called Bullockornis. It was bigger than Genyornis with an awesome nickname - " demon duck ".
That appears to be named "testicle bird."
As someone whose been attacked as a child by a Canada goose...that Giga goose is terrifying.
Right?! Could you imagine a giga cobra chicken??
That cute Fault in Our Stars quote at the end: change happens "slowly and then all at once" ❤❤❤❤
New nightmare unlocked: Gigagoose
Gods imagine if they gathered in massive flocks of pure rage like modern geese

You would love PBS Eons Podcast Deep Time. The first season is both interesting and so calming.
Lmao, you got Pavlov'd 😂
You would probably love the guy that narrates _History of the Universe_ or _History of the Earth._ He also has one of those soothing voices that everyone loves to fall asleep to.
A 10-week-old? I think I found the real source of your drowsiness! 😜
Yes, I love this channel! Please, continue to give us more educational content! Hank, it makes me happy to see you are looking well! 🤗
Danke!
Quote I was upset when I thought it was feet, but it's meters." 🤣
I love that the Lokiceratops is bigger than other Ceratops because Loki is a giant. So the name fits not only because of the horns.
Two of my fave internet people.
Kallie is such a great host.
Seeing this was about fossils I figured Kallie had to make an appearance… and she did. Made me and my toddler very happy. 😇
Thank you for that "free" video ! It was super fun to see both of you and learn about the cool discoveries of last year.
Dromornis is also called the "Demon Duck of Doom", which I can't tell is more or less intimidating.
Glad to see others not only afraid of Canada geese, but imagining the fear of a giga sized one!
You win this round, geese.
These videos are worth a great deal to me, thank you all for your excellent work!!!
3:04 “Oh the ROUSes?” (Reptiles of unusual size) “I don’t believe they exist”
I sort of feel like these are giant human bones arranged into fictional creatures
It is a beautiful day in the prehistoric Australia, and you are a horrible Giga Goose!
Omg we need the Giga Goose version if this game now 😂👀
Of Bloody COURSE it's from Australia....
The land of nightmare creatures has the two meter tall murder goose. Makes perfect sense.
I'd rather deal with a kangaroo than a grizzly or moose
Giga-Geese...just think of the size of their eggs!
Omelett for party of 30? (1 ostrich egg makes an omelert for up to 12).
The Cratchet family would eat for weeks on a Christmas gigagoose; Tiny Tim becoming Swole Tim.

(bit briefer than I'd like to explain but my long comment was too long or something? It got yeeted)
13:08 quoting your brother is amazing
Thought that no one had heard it !
Sounds like convergent evolution e.g. Anaconda vs Reticulated Python or Green Tree Boa vs Green Tree Python. Basically empty niche ..fill it.
Thanks so much for what you do, it's always fascinating. Will be encouraging my granddaughters to watch you too. We appreciate you in New Zealand, and are jealous of those big Alberta dinosaurs .Happy New Year!!!
I've never been this early to a comment section i feel like I should say something important but I can't think of what to say
A collab of two of my favorite UA-cam channels ❤
This colab is my Avengers
Best comment.
Giga Geese.
GIGA GEESE.
Oh, flock!!!!
Humans: we rule the world, we're the most advanced and successful animal.
Arthropods: how quaint.

Yayyyyy Kallie!!!! Thanks for featuring Eons!
THANK YOU MCLAREN AND CHARLIE we all say in unison
I LOVE this show! AND this segment/subject; I've always been interested in paleontology and archaeology.
Really enjoyed this video, thanks!
Your videos are always worth it, thank you all
The artistic rendering of Vasuki indicus resembles a modern day boa/sand boa :3 I love snakes! What a cutie! Terrifying but ❤❤❤❤
More Eons, please!
Can you please do an episode of the species we lost this year? Not to sound pessimistic but optimistic about saving our planet.
1:47 “I was upset when I thought that might be feet”
Silly Hank, snakes don’t have feet!
I thought you would talk about the Homotherium cub too.
Wooooo!!! Fossils! 💓
Gigagoose is a sound that deserves to be said out loud
Happy new year gang
Someday I hope to be a fossil
Love learning with y'all!
I love this show so much and find it incredibly interesting, informative, and educational.🥰🥰🥰
I love all of these videos. And the Emily’s news actually gave me a high. How FUN!!!!! But no one gives the brain tingles like Hank Green. Even if we do also love Emily.
Untitled goose game just took on a whole new meaning.
I’m so proud to have known about numbers 1 and 3 already!!
Happy New Year💙🌻🌟🎆🌟🌻💙
Minor correction: emu is pronounced 'eem yoo' not 'ee moo'. Happy new year from Australia!
Thank you!! ❤
Massive kangaroos im assuming would be procoptodon and lion like marsupials im assuming would be thylacolio or a relative
My best one is a Booklawvarm that had a red to-stop eye with green toes. ❤❤❤
What is the blue beetle at 11:12? It's very interesting looking. Is it a scarab beetle?
Loved the video!
I am grateful for this video
This video is worth a comment for sure. Here you go!
more year science news wrapup please
Yes, please do more fossil videos!
I love this episode!!!!
Lived in Montana my whole life. I’ll keep an eye out for ya.
Was waiting for Hank’s take on the Homotherium cub. But these other fossils are really cool too!
Can you imagine the noise an angry, or even hungry, giga goose could make.
Going gaga for a giga goose is understandable. I'm more mind blown by how insanely much new knowledge could be found in something the size of a teeny tiny poppy seed.
The thumbnail is goated
yooo sorry hank i gotta say being able to see the organs of such a tiny creature from so long ago is the coolest one
As a person with a moderate snake phobia, I find the idea of a 10-cm, 10-ft, and 10-m snake equally scary. 10 mm feels okay and actually so does 10 km. Brains are weird!
Thanks
I want a Giga-Goose for next years Christmas dinner.
I'm going to need a bigger oven.😂
12:58-13:10 I guess you can say some species evolved the way you fall asleep; slowly and then all at once.
When Hank said "Fona Herzogae" it sounded like a recording of dialog played backwards.
(11:25) I certainly hope they seized the opportunity to name the fifth beetle fossil "Georgeus Martinii."
Watching those new triceratops and feeling like any Isaac Higgintoot... 😄
8:35 I'm convinced someone or something collected these bones 😮
Giga goose sounds absolutely terrifying if you ask me.
Will you be releasing a longer version? Who doesn't love learning about evolution?
I caught that Princess Bride reference!
Giga Goose & Demon Duck -- the anserine super-hero team the world doesn't yet know it needs!
My favorite fossils come from psittacosaurus. We know more about that dinosaur than we do about any other dinosaur!
Just a thought, but if you find a fossil of a burrowing animal, could the fact it has dug down into the strata effect the dating of that fossil, or do they take that into consideration somehow?
Giga-cobra-chicken is a terrifying concept to all Canadians.
how on earth did they even identify the larvae fossil as one in the first place? Imagine how many tiny fossils just go completely unnoticed
As a golfer, the Gigagoose is terrifying!
"We fell in love like rove beetle evolution: slowly, and then all at once. And then not for a hundred million years." - John, er, Hank Green
Hi Hank! Hi Kallie!
Oooh these fossils should be pins!! Like on Bizarre beasts
Pretty sure Loki having a horned helmet is a Marvel thing.
While the idea of the giga goose is as terrifying as it is hilarious, I'm surprised they didn't talk about the Homotherium cub ice mummy! That's a HUGE discovery that's going to tell us so much about saber-tooth cats and the environment they lived in! Does it not count because it isn't technically a fossil? I feel like it should count. :/
Woooo!
Montana dino hunters, wooo!!! also, having been chased & bitten by a domestic goose, the GIGA GOOSE IS TRULY ALARMING 0.0
Someone has got to tell Ronnie (from D20's Mentopolis) about this big SNAKE!
Giga goose means giga Christmas dinner.
