If it wasnt for the Gorgons and other animals dying out during that time period, the dinosaurs may not have existed either.

It's so insane when you take a look at what happened at the end of the Permian. This is, as far as I can tell, the only topic on which you get to read the word "apocalyptic" in the scientific literature. So for example, during the end-Permian, there is something called the "Equatorial Vertebrate Eclipse", during which virtually all vertebrates (marine & terrestrial) disappear from the tropics and subtropics. There is even an interval at the Permian-Triassic boundary where all evidence of forests disappears and the world seems to mostly be ruled by ferns and fungi again.
Yeah, it's astounding what raising the temperature of the Earth by almost 10 degrees can do. As I imagine you know, when there's massive die offs of seed plants, ferns move into to fill the void with their easily spreadable spores. The Earth was almost sterilized, especially in the oceans.
Except for the temperatures around that time were 15+ degrees warmer when the temp spike occurred, and that CO2 (which was nearly 3000-4000ppm) was violently stripped from the air. A lot of the scientific literature points to the deaths of the forests due mainly to this ripping out of the CO2. Which is thought to have occurred in the Arctic when a particular bacteria went into overdrive and just sucked in the CO2 in masse. Fun fact the only other time CO2 has got that low is in modern times, and we can see the same effect over the last 10-20 million years with forests shrinking from the poles and moving towards the tropics, and deserts expanding.
@@BenGThomas Apparently things got so bad that rivers flowed in the same way they flowed in the Ordovician (big, straight, braided streams), because there were literally not enough plants left to support the formation of riverbanks. And note that this was around rivers, where conditions aren't as hostile as in more arid areas!
Gorgonopsids have always looked so breathtaking to me. Something about their rather rectangular faces and large jaws is really aesthetically pleasing to me! I would have loved to see them in real life, from a distance of course.
I agree, they don’t even look real. They look like they belong in some fantasy story, it’s really amazing to see that such wonderful and fantastic-looking creatures truly existed!
@@deathproofduck6897 "mammal like reptiles" are animals that are constantly called an outdated term. the terms you SHOULD use are "stem mammals", "proto mammals", or "paramammals"
Regardless of how much hair they had, Gorgonopsids likely did not possess scales. When know from other proto-mammals that Gorgons probably had scale-less, gland filled skin similar to later mammals.
Also note that since we now know from study of embryonic development and genetics that fur, scales and feathers are all modifications of the same structure during development meaning having one precludes the other two on the part of the body.
@Jakjak Oh yeah you can have both just not at the same place as they develop from the same embryonic structure that was what I had meant sorry for the confusion

When You are so OP that it takes the single most devastating mass-extinction event to finally kill You and yet... Your family survives and returns to dominance after many millions of years
Their accurate names still has the word mammal in it, so it still technically means that mammals ruled the Earth before and after the age of dinosaurs.
Excellently informative video! I was first made aware of this family of animals from Primeval back in 2007, and I was very glad they introduced such an interesting creature. The species featured in the show was most likely the larger Inostrancevia!
Thank you! And that's exactly how I first learned of these animals too, I was a huge fan of Primeval! I love looking through the clips on your channel to remind myself of what an awesome show it is :D
That's great and I appreciate that a lot! It's the Anniversary on the 10th February so I hope so have some special content ready for that day ready! I hope you enjoy it! And keep up the good work with these information videos, they're a great and accessible way for people to learn about prehistory!
I learned about the theraspids and other stem-mammals in an Advanced Vertebrate Natural History course when I was at MIT back in the late '70's. The Great Dying has always held me in morbid fascination...
Although tigers are a type of cat, the sabretoothed cats are not tigers at all, they're in a completely different group to them. Within felids (the cat group), sabre-toothed cats are in the group Machairodontinae, whereas tigers are in the group Pantherinae. I'm not sure why it became popular to call them sabre-toothed tigers, but it's incorrect to do so.
Thanks for presenting a much underrated period. There is so much concentration on dinosaurs to the exclusion of almost everything else. I had not heard about possible hair before.
I just want to to know that your videos helped me realize my passion for Paleontology, and I am now working towards my undergrads with an intention to head into Paleoecology, focusing on therapsid evolution from the Carboniferous to the later Permian. But that's just the current trajectory. Regardless, thank you so much.
Great video. I really should be studying but this was too damn interesting not to stop watching. Keep making more of these videos and i assure you your sub count will increase.
This was a great video! I really learned from the video. Since early boyhood I have been fascinated by the life this planet has produced. And the strange adaptations said life has taken. Up to this day and this video I would have ever known of these animals! I do not reminder having encountered them in any museum, so Thank You!
Thanks :D In this video I used some royalty free music by Alex Arcoleo and some by TeknoAxe. I also have a friend who composes music for use in many of my other videos, you can check out his work here: ua-cam.com/channels/zaaopratnya8zt4CUuojPg.html
I don't think you're that far removed. With an average generation span (for all our ancestral species) of, say, 5 years - that's only 50 000 000 generations.
I've actually heard stuff on some gorgonopsians (Sauroctonus was used as an example) becoming well-adapted for grappling prey, much like the big sabre-toothed true mammals that came after them.
The rest of a musk deer's teeth, as well as its skull structure, indicate a plant-based diet. They have lightly-built skeletons which is not indicative of an animal which would stalk or take down prey. The skull of of a Gorgonopsid is heavily built with indications of powerful muscle attachments in the jaw and neck area. The whole skull/neck anatomy indicates an animal which actively and powerfully using its jaws and neck for biting and holding on, as a hunting animal would. Also, you can't really compare this to a modern day mammal as it's one of the oldest creatures discovered with differentiated teeth like this. Modern day mammals have a much greater variety of tooth structures.
Good video. Just one issue I have. Why not say just a "thick skin " or thick hide", instead of scales 2:45? This just makes more sense considering earlier in your video you said they should be called Stem-mammals instead of a mammal-like reptile. I assume the only reason some people still draw them with scales is that that name makes them seem more like reptiles, who need a reptilian skin covering.
Wonder if they had mammal like emotions. Or if they had reptile level emotions. Or to be more specific if you brought a baby gorgon to modern times could he be tamed and show affection like most mammals can. Or would it be more like a reptile that can tolerate you but not truly love you.
why must animals have emotions like reptiles or mammals? they are animals, they have emotions. I'd definitely consider gilled fish & the arthropods as a counterpoint, but reptiles don't have fairly different emotions than what mammals have
I've always found depictions of scaly, shrink-wrapped gorgonopsids with no extraneous soft tissue features to be highly unlikely. So much of their morphology reminds me of modern predators like cats and weasels, so it seems likely that, like them, they'd have substantial layers of fur, fat, and skin that would've significantly altered their living appearance. I for one would like to see more reconstructions of them with things like manes and patterned fur.

That was a funny ending where you mentions us, their descendants, write papers and makes videos of them. That was certainly unexpected and funny.
You know Gorgonopsids always stood out to me as something I would imagine to be wandering the earth in its dying days, not its early ones.
For 2 minutes I thought the title said "when George ruled the earth" and couldn't breath lmao
XD
Extremely interesting. Never even heard about this!
These animals absolutely blown my mind... Could you imagine still having them around!
fascinating, thank you!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :D
Gorgonsip was basically a edgy 12yr old desgin of a cool four legged dinosaurs.
