      @@MadlyMesozoic I know, at the end of the day we're all here for light-hearted "what if" scenarios.
      It's just that imagining the K-selected elephant's surviving enviromental attrition until they get good adaptations, while competing with R-selected dinosaurs *which aready start off stronger than them* doesn't seem very plausible.
      If the challenger species on these scenarios is K-selected, them their endgame must really make up for the slow respawning rate or else it's just a very big disadvantage.

      I will try to assess all of these animals, although I don't know that much about specific time periods.
      1. Wolverine
      I can hardly see them surviving. I would assume that most dinosaurs would be way too much for them to tackle, and they would face way too much competition. However, they have the option to evolve to fit a more arboreal lifestyle.
      2. Giant River Otters
      I believe that they would be very suited to hunting baby animals, like deinosuchus, some mosasaurs and an array of fish. Their size isn't impressive compared to many creatures, but they could probably get by
      3. Bush Dogs
      Although formidable for their size, they're just way too small for me to imagine them doing any damage to most creatures. They have been recorded taking down large prey like a 250kg tapir, but most other creatures from this time period were much more formidable.
      4. Clouded Leopards
      I could actually see them excelling in some environments. Being ambush hunters, they can take down most small to medium sized prey if taken by surprise.
      5. Painted Dogs
      These guys would definitely fare much better than the bush dogs. They have incredible mobility, and are much larger. And while their build is highly specialised for speed over long distances, their group strategies can allow them to tackle large prey. Although, they would have much more trouble, since their strat of eating prey alive can be somewhat countered by armour.
      6. Komodo Dragons
      I think these would have the best chance of survival. They would be more likely to stick to swamps, where they can take to the waters if they encountered a threat too big to handle, and their venom would allow them to take down relatively large prey if they manage to land a good bite. They can also function very well as scavengers

    • @PatrickWatsonPDizzle123
      @PatrickWatsonPDizzle123 10 місяців тому +6

      @GenericDan Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it. And you have pretty much nailed it on all of those but I think the. Reason why I think some of the animals I recommended would do well than the others is because they'd be small enough to stay away from the bigger dinosaurs as well. And also some of them can also climb to also stay away from them as well. And some could run faster than some of them so I think some could have a chance. In fact, it'd be interesting to find out what kind of creatures they would Look Like in the distant Future. If they remained with the dinosaurs. Also, it has been proven that they have found like fossilized remains of a type of Wolverine, like Weasel that literally hunted little dinosaurs.

    • @GenericDan
      @GenericDan 10 місяців тому +7

      @@PatrickWatsonPDizzle123 Looking back at it, my wolverine take was actually incredibly flawed. For one, I already mentioned that they can climb trees, but for some reason, I didn't really consider that as a factor to their survival, considering that they would be probably one of the most adept tree climbers for their size at that time. Also, today, they hunt prey as large as female moose, so I could potentially see them hunting juvenile animals like clouded leopards. They would have a different approach, though. They have incredible stamina. They would also fare very well as scavengers, potentially even more so than komodo dragons, because their mobility means that they aren't restricted to swamp environments anymore and can travel vast distances to find food. The biggest drawback, however, is that their intimidation tactics likely wouldn't help much against large carnivorous dinosaurs, considering that their weapons aren't really anything compared to the weapons of most dinosaurs. Although, you never know, as some dinosaurs were likely not that intelligent and could be intimidated, like simosuchus defending itself against majungasaurus in Prehistoric Planet.

      Bruh, that's both wrong and the exact opposite. elephants solo almost every single terrestrial dinosaur (except saurpods). there's no way any dinosaur, under 7 tons could stand up to an bull African elephant who lemme remind you could weigh up to 10 tons, And we're including the tusks because normal elephants should have tusks.
      Megalosaurus? Loses
      Spinosaurus? Bleeding out of the ground
      Charadontasaurus? Freaking dead
      Triceratops? Probably survives (assuming we don't consider elephants are near human levels of intelligence)
      Stegosaurus? Fodder
      Ankylosaurus? Flipped on his back and gored.
      Iguanodon? Fodder
      And finally tyrannosaurus.
      Tyrannosaurus probably barely wins ngl.
      Giga? barely loses

      Only the largest of the elephant species survive for any significant amount of time based on the fossil record.
      Elephants also are panicky af as that's how Romans fought war elephants by banging drums and throwing stuff at them.
      Elephants aren't great when they can't use their size.

    I could imagine African Bush Elephants evolving similar size to extinct straight-tusk elephants as the best way to adapt to predation from Tyrannosaurus. Additionally,males would permanently join herds of unrelated females for defensive purposes. The elephants would keep their intelligence with the increase in size. While possibly use weapons such as large branches, fallen logs and rocks.

    Do you think it would be possible to do something more long form? Perhaps going deeper into details of your speculative creations, how this could affect other creatures or such?
    Also i still think a Neanderthal or other such hominid transplant into the mesozoic, and an analysis of its success in each period would be awesome

    One thing that never gets taken into account in these scenerios is that mammals were heavier than dinosaurs pound fir pound. Its part of the reasons sauropods grew so big were lighter bones and others moved quickly.

    Remember that the low gestation rate would still make it likely for the Elephant to just die out before it can adapt, it's a much slower process to evolve for such a species.
    Elephants do not need to defend themselves from equal size predators, they are not equipped to deal with them.
    Even without considering Predators, Males in Musk would be quite likely to kill themselves with an encounter of another well defended herbivore.

    The mesozoic had a ton of megafauna. However, it lacked a lot of truly intelligent creatures.
    Furthermore flying was just in its infancy during the start of the mesozoic.
    Therefore it would be interesting how an eagle, a relatively smart flying bird would fair in an enviroment not accustomed to it.
