    Hope you had a happy birthday! I glad to see more about this animal. I saw the skull of Anachlysictis last year here in Colombia, and we are awaiting for the further description of the fossils of its body!

      Thank you! And yes, I can't wait to see the rest of the description either!

    Really look forward to Thylacosmilus. Love the thylacoleo behind you on the wall.

      I'm looking forward to working on it! And yep, I think it's the best reconstruction out there. It was built around a real cast of the marsupial lion.

    Thanks for sharing your research! I’m a retired veterinary technician, so carnivores have always been a special interest. Seems a lot of weird paleontology theories have been put out there recently. First Smilodon needing bulldog lips to protect the sabers from drying out, then Thylacosmilus sucking guts from its prey and ignoring the meat. Even if physically possible it sounds like an inefficient way for these animals to live. Would love to hear your take on that.

      Hi, and thanks! And you are so right, there are some really bizarre interpretations out there! And you're in luck re-Thylacosmilus, my next episode will deal with this incredible beast. I'm working on it now, should have it uploaded within the next few days.

    I can't help but wonder what the backstory of the manatee image is. Did the little sabertooth fall out of a tree over a lagoon or something??

    • @RealPaleontology
      @RealPaleontology  3 місяці тому +2

      Yes got to admit it's got me thinking too!

    • @julianbayona3866
      @julianbayona3866 3 місяці тому +2

      The manatee is Potamosiren. Anachlysictis lived in an ecosystem formed by tropical forests and great water bodies that included the massive Pebas lake, in the center of South America, since that many animals were preserved near to river/lagoon sediments surely some of them fall into the water regularly!

    a video on proborhyaena would be cool, seems to be an animal that isnt talked about as often as it should be and not much stuff on its ecology is easily found

    Hey Steve did these cats have a narrowed gate ? They seem thinner in the head and mouth !

    • @RealPaleontology
      @RealPaleontology  Місяць тому

      They definitely do have more narrow skulls, but remember, they are not actually cats. Much more closely related to marsupials.
