  • Hi!! Today we're diving into the lesser-known animals of the Pleistocene epoch. The woolly mammoths and sabertooth cats have stolen the spotlight for too long, and these guys deserve some love too. I'll introduce you to 2-4 species from each continent, going from least to most shocking. Hopefully, I'll introduce you to at least one you've never heard of before!
    Next week, we'll be diving into another episode of Real Cryptids, so I hope you're excited about that.
    I want to thank Ryan P. for sending me a studio ring light from my wishlist! As I'm figuring out the right blend for lighting, this has been a massive help :) it is much appreciated!
    And as always, thank you for the incredible editing, Gian :)

    Native American here. As a kid I was told to never go under beds or tables as there would be a monster hiding under it that would kill you. Rough translation of the name of it was cutting hands. I asked what it was and was told it was a giant sloth. The giant sloth had gone extinct about 10,000 years ago, but my tribe still has cautionary tales about avoiding them. Apparently they hid in cave or under structures which is why we were told not to go under some things.

    Marsupial wakes up one day "i wanna be a cat" and then becomes a cat is such a good plot for a sketch

    I love it when you say "that we know of". Such an important thing to mention! Now whenever I explain something to my kids about the world, I double check myself if I need to mention that as well. Thank you!

    About Ice Age - the film - Sid IS a ground sloth but the filmmakers have always called him a "stunted" ground sloth, because, realistically, he would be roughly in between Manny and Diego in term of size and body mass if he was a big, realistic ground sloth, but the filmmakers found this made him too uncanny of a creature, so they made him a sort of combination between modern sloths and the ancient ground sloths of the historical Ice Age. Hope that makes sense!

    I just wanted to let everyone reading this know that when you look inside a kangaroo’s pouch, you look inside it’s uterus

    Your years of observing big cats has paid off. The way you reacted to the package showing up perfectly mimicked how I've seen cats react to interesting things in their environment.

    I love the editing style and how you teach. Very soothing and it has a flow to it

    australian here, i did a report on the giant wombat in grade 3 when we were learning basic research skills and descriptive writing and had to write about a native animal. i’ve had a special place in my heart for these big guys ever since, learning about them is fr a core memory for me

    I love this! It's a real sign of fluency to be able to explain complex concepts to a potentially uneducated mass in such an interesting and easy to follow way. You should consider doing a "Nastiest animals to ever exist" video. Parasites, botflies, even prehistoric little nasties that make your skin crawl. Keep up the great work!

    “That we know of…” is the best disclaimer any paleontologist can give and I’m here for it! ❤

    Thank you for leaving in any problems you have in pronunciation in scientific lexicon in your videos. As a 48-year old that has had a stroke, it is encouraging that even healthy adults can find issue with pronunciation in a field they have higher education in. I discovered you after you popped up in a Casual Geographic video. I’ve been enjoying any natural history content.

    Love that you keep including “That we know of…” because knowledge is always growing… as opposed to the Boomer mentality of “this is what I was taught, and this is how it always will be”.

    The way you got extra excited about the thylacoleo perfectly demonstrates the way I have felt about them since the very first time I "saw one" as a child.

    There's honestly a whole video in just how weird Thylacoleo's teeth were.

    We actually have models in a fake cave in Naracoorte of these animals. It’s really interesting to visit if anyone ever comes to South Australia and wants to see them.

    I’m from South America and both the glyptodonts and the sloths are well known where I live. Many fossils were found and the museums here have exhibits on them. Great to see them acknowledged!
