The Gurkan: Last Hadrosaur of Kaimere | Lonely Relic of a Lost World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Hadrosaurs were in their golden age during the Tyrant Dynasty. When the good times ended, most went extinct. It was only in the last few decades that the Assembly found herds of a relic in the equatorial prairies far north of the known world: the gurkan, last hadrosaur of Kaimere.
Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

In Swedish, the word "Gurkan" means "the Cucumber". So now I can't stop imagining herds of hadrosaur sized cucumbers roaming the Kaimeran deserts, devouring all plant life they come across.
A horror story on par with the 1978 "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"!
gherkin is a word for pickled cucumbers too
@@trilobite3120 Which language?
@@alexanderstavroulakis335 English and probably others.
@@alexanderstavroulakis335 English. They're basically the same thing as pickles.
Pickles are what cucumbers are called before they go though the pickling process
The gist is all pickles are cucumbers but not all cucumbers are pickles
I love hadrosaurs, but I’m sad that most of them are gone. At least one is still around to keep their legacy alive.
There could be more in Kairul.
There always a possibility
@@joey9833
Yes, there's an Iguanodont there
I'm not to take away from the lively story or graphics... This creature is fiction and non avian dinosaurs are extinct.
@@carola7893 i'm pretty sure they were reffering to being happy to see it in kaimere
Glad the Hadrosaurs are still around but I can't deny your Thescelosaurs are more than a lovely successor to the duck billed dinosaurs
Thank you! I love hadrosaurs, but if they survived on a large scale, nothing else would have a chance in that niche lol
@@TalesofKaimereidea! Smol island semi aquatic hadrosaurs! Maybe idk like 4 subspecies?
@@megandavis3372 If there is indeed islands all around Kairul and at North Ni'Khar, in reality, all of them aren't good refuges for potentials dwarf insular relics species, as they are too close from the mainland and in a too warm areas, allowing numerous predators to exist and go on these islands on a frequent scale.
So having relics here is unlikely.
Did you know that when the Assembly preserved one of these in salt and vinegar, they got a "Pickled Gurkan."
As a massive dinosaur fan who writes stories that heavily involve them , I often incorporate Hadrosaurs.
To see them in such a sorry state brings me saddness in a way.
I hope that if you ever go further past the present day of Kaimere, they could at least regain some of their former diversity and diverge into several species.
Pretty good episode Keenan. Unless you already know, I have the answer to why the Gurkan’s skull is similar to the kritosaurines: convergent evolution. This may explain how the Gurkan survived, copying the traits of other hadrosaurs during its evolution for better adaptation. After all, it is the evolutionary arms race. Also, I have something to say: a really good candidate in my opinion if to ever live on Kaimere are an underrated group of theropods: the metriacanthosaurids. Yangchuanosaurus, the largest in the family known so far, is a great example because it’s arguably the longest-surviving single dinosaur species we currently know of, having survived for almost 30 million years! It was the apex predator in China from the Late Jurassic to shortly after the beginning of the Cretaceous and its place was then taken by other theropods like proceratosaurids including Yutyrannus. I find it truly remarkable that Yangchuanosaurus not only survived but thrived for almost 30 million years, which no other dinosaur besides birds can exist that long and not many prehistoric species exist that long either. For example, Megalodon was around for 20ish million years before competition with predatory whales like Livyatan and baleen whales, its main food source, began migrating to freezing waters resulted in extinction. At least on Earth, but I really do think Yangchuanosaurus and the metriacanthosaurids would be excellent predators in Kaimere, maybe even inheriting the throne of the tyrant kings. If they prove too much and might become too successful or probably won’t do well on Kaimere in your opinion, that’s totally okay with me👍🏻.
The Metriacanthosauridae are indeed a very successfull yet sadly obscure to the public group of dinosaurs that would have been good candidates for Kaimere.
And maybe Keenan would have take them if he came across this group as a possibility back when Kaimere was early in its developpement.
But now, it's too late for them, as Kaimere is now too well developped and such add would imply too huge edits that Keenan wouldn't allow.
Sure it's a shame, but it's how things are.
But of course, without any doubts Metriacanthosaurid were at one point harvested on Kaimere.
But they are now among the many extincts theropods clase the planet have.
It would be interesting to have videos about these extincts theropods groups.
As covering their evolutionary history would be very informative and display even more that dynasties of successfull groups don't always last.
About Megalodon, actually, the giant shark outlived his giant cachalot whale nemesis which died before him, as far I'm aware.
And Megalodon wasn't actually very particular weak against cold waters.
So far, only a difference in size in specimens living near the Equator line and the poles is noted.
Sure, cold waters were a part of its decline, but a part only, not a main driving force.
@@dudotolivier6363 I guess you’re right, but though Kaimere, there’s a chance for metriacanthosaurids on other seed worlds. And though the tyrannosaurs are extinct except the Nehamu, much of Kaimere is still unexplored and many more species to discover like the Moørkutlot for example. No one knew about Kaishel or its inhabitants until explorers came and met the local people, fauna and flora including the Moørkutlot. Inspired by the The Ballad of Kai’Hai and the Crocodile Cannibal episodes, I thought about writing the story of a giant tyrannosaur named Bataar’Rex, most massive theropod dinosaur ever known on Kaimere or a similar world. He is colossal, measuring at least 60 feet long and weighing up to 45,000 pounds the most. With reinforced bones and very powerful muscles, he is able to move his enormous body with great agility and control as well as able to reach a top speed of 20 miles an hour. Bataar’Rex is presumably the last of his kin and he never stays in one place for he is a nomad. He constantly travels across lands to another to balance the environments, being a keystone species. He is also the most powerful predator in the world after a few to name, able to fight the largest predators and most dangerous prey like megaraptorans, giant sloths and large proboscideans, even the very largest Kurajaku either on land or in shallow water up to his chest or even his head. He is an efficient swimmer, able to island hop between nearby continents and he has the strongest jaws of any animal, rivalling the giant shark Megalodon, up to 15 tons max. He has a lot of experience in fighting other equally-large animals and knows their weak posts like megaraptoran claws, sloth heads, elephant underbellies and Kurajaku dorsal fins. Bataar’Rex even fought monsters like demons, Moørkutlot and even dragons! How he survived all of this? He has a secret power: he was born with a strain of an ancient magic thought to have died a long time ago. The magic is a part of his life source, it includes being his immune system and this magic is extremely powerful. It helped Bataar’Rex survived the weapons of the deadliest creatures he came across including dragon fire, megaraptoran claws, elephant tusks, witch magic and even Moørkutlot venom! He is the Kaimeran or a similarly-world (what’s the term? Prehistoric? Paleontological? Realistic?) counterpart of the King of Monsters, Godzilla. Sure the idea of a remarkable and all-powerful tyrannosaur like him sounds insane to fit on Kaimere, but not to another fantasy world. He’s pretty impressive to know about, right?
To think that the Gurkan is the last Hadrosaur is kind of a sad one. Although, the fact that most of the Hostile Continent of Kairul and it's Crown being so poorly studied there is hope for them, and the Tyrant Dynasty survivors and those from earlier harvests. Well...
But I seriously wonder about the relics of earlier dynasties and harvest, and if they still have some that survived....
Anyways, to think that next week we'll have the Thescelosaurs is a very good news tbh.
Ahhh how the turns have tabled! It’s truly poetic how Hadrosaurs went from Kaimeran monarchs to, simply, a faint, sole shadow inhabiting the Haussie (did I spell it right?) prarie.
Houze but yeah, it does feel fitting!
Hadrosaurs are one of those clades of dinosaurs that is well known yet also kinda looked over, they may not have been flashy but considering their previous dominance I think they are really cool. They were likely able to sustain some impressive herds, imagine thousands of them migrating like the wildebeest of Africa. Sure these herding animals arent especially flashy and many forget about them but lets not forget that it takes a special kind of animal to reach such huge group sizes.
Of course thats not to say all hadrosaurs were flighty herding animals, some like the mighty Shantungosaurus were surely some of the most impressive and powerful animals to have ever existed, Shantungosaurus and other large hadrosaurs like it were surely some of the most dangerous of all dinosaurs if modern herbivores are anything to go by. I would simply rather run from one tyrannosaur than 12 angry hadrosaurs personally, just as one tiger is arguably less scary than 12 Indian gaur.
Hadrosaurs are pretty underrated, I'm happy that one survived in the lands of Kaimere!
Absolutely!
Man that intro music is so sad and forlorn. Fitting though
This is an amazing video on a species that is somewhat a relic of a lost age,
Thank you! It felt fitting
I wish i had a hadrosaur jersey to wear, now that my team finally showed up to the game!
LET'S GO, HADRO
(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!)
LET'S GO, HADRO
Finally, the long awaited ravamp of the thescelosaurs is coming next week! That aside, I like niche the gurkan has settled in. This is our first proper glimpse at the infamous equatorial desert and I'm intrigued to learn at some point what other hardy animals call this wasteland home.
I love hadrosaurs as much as the next guy, and this one representative is a nice and interesting take on their potential evolution, but I am generally happy you axed them. Having no or next to no survivors from certain linages gives gravitas to Kaimere. And the thescelosaurus give the world a nice unique feel. Exited for next week!
Thank you! Yeah I honestly couldn't justify pachycephalosaur and thescelosaur radiation at its current level if the hadrosaurs survived. They would almost certainly have bounced back and taken over before other large fauna could evolve.
I agree, they had their time during the Tyrant Dynasty, now it is the Thescelosaur’s turn. Even with places that have relics (such as the Permian Islands and continent, Jurassic islands, Kaishel, Pakardia, etc) they are usually pretty derived than from when they were first harvested. This is even reflected in the fossil record of Kaimere (such as the Permian Islands being dominated by Cynodont fauna until 15 million years ago).
If I may ask, I have been thinking about the "sloped" back and hump like structure at their shoulders over night. You mention that they have comparatively well developed forelimbs. So I was thinking if the hump is a skeletal structure for muscle attachments, or more of a fat storage structure, like a dromedary hump? Or a bit of both?
I also realized I love the size of gurkan, makes it seem almost domesticable, and is another thing that nicely sets it apart from the more well known genera of our world. @@TalesofKaimere
@@Lazerbalde Thanks! And it's a bit of both. There are skeletal aspects and some fat is stored in the tail, but there are also fat stores in the back.
One of the things I like about Kaimere and it's natural history is that nothing is truly extinct. Dynasties may come and go, but they all leave some representatives behind. Sadly that is a lot more rare on earth
Not all made it gigas and kin are long gone along with all spinosaurids posibley
@@jameswilliams2075 or until the next Kaimere update includes them
@christosgiannopoulos828 he has stated they are exstinct especially the carcs in the resent dynasty vids
@@jameswilliams2075 well that's a bummer
@christosgiannopoulos828 ya I was hoping for maybe some small pedomorphic giants on some remote island somewhere with raptor sized tyrants carchs and spinos
Can’t wait to see the peak of thescelosaur diversity
Besides Theropods, Hadrosaurs are also my favorite dinosaurs, beautiful to see what you created.
Must say that I loved the little insight into the ecology of the Taro, so thanks a lot for that, Keenan!
My pleasure! Wish I'd been able to redraw them (old art isn't outdated in anatomy just don't love the drawing itself as fixing said anatomy required a lot of stretching) but it was still good to give a bit of an update.
I am bit uncertain about gurkan being able to gallop or ancestral hadrosaurids being predominately bipedal runners.Gallop might be biomechanically difficult for archosaurs given their spine shape (crocks can do it but it looks strange). If anything gurkans gallop would look oddly stiff compared to a smilarly sized ungulate given the difference in spine and shoulder anatomy compared to a mammal. There was a study some years back that stated that while running bupedally hadrosaurids would turn worse and run slower than a pursuing tyrannosaur, while if they trotted they would still be slower but would be better at outmaneuvering their predator. Later hadrosaurids also seem to have increasingly cursorial adaptations to their forelimbs smilar to ungulates which might mean they were important for running (or atleast getting around effeciently).
Fair call. Even being front heavy and running on all fours, probably wouldn't be very efficient to truly gallop as they lack the torso flexibility for that to be a viable gait. Would probably be a lot of back and forth rocking. A camelid-analogue gait would probably be a better comparison.
@@TalesofKaimere Given their + 50 mya of evolution from the end of the Cretaceous, things are pretty open to the needed changes in order for such traits, like gallop, to evolved in animals that aren't predisposed for galloping.
@@dudotolivier6363 Archosaurs seem to be ancestrally conservative in how they handle quadrupedal movement. Gallop might be impossible or at least really difficult for them to do once they hit large enough size. It would be easier to re-evolve lighter build and bipedal running if gurkan faced selection for alternate running gate. I guess pterosaur like waulting gallop could be possible but that would require massive increase in forelimb length.
Awesome video, here’s hoping that there’s a video covering the Crown of Kairul in the near future! I am dying to see if there are more relics from the Tyrant dynasty.
Nice to see the Gurkan is doing well, although its history is quite sad.
Can't wait for the thescelosaurs!
Oh boy, an updated Thescelosaur video.
I’m hyped!
Heck yeah!
Such an amazing creature, this video has to be one of my new favorites. I always love when videos cover realms beyond the known world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
An exploration of fire and its importance to and different uses among the people of Kaimere is a topic I'd happily sponsor if I had the ability right now. In a world full of such great natural dangers the ultimate natural deterrent must be even more important than it's been for humanity through our history. I could imagine something like the hand grenades employed by medieval caliphal armies, basically just a hollow clay sphere filled with pitch or oil, being far more effective in seeing off most threats to settlements than 1000 spears or arrows.
I like the Gurkan ! (remember always that a placeholder of another hadrosaur of your was used to depict this species XD)
It really look like a Camel, with its coloration, ungulate-like shape and its hump on its back ! As well than its current biome where it live.
Really a very convergent and analog species to our beloved camelid on Earth !
Yes I probably shouldn’t have used a placeholder. Always confused people, but the alternative is I just don’t show anything then people are like ‘oh new thing’ when it’s not new at all lol
It's was really, again, a very good episode ! A small, short by very intstructive and entertaining as a focus on a specific creature of Kaimere and everything that can be said about it. And this said everything is fascinating !
Despite what the all the others followers said in their comments under this video, actually, I don't feel or experience any vibes or feelings of sadness, sorry or sorrow during this episode.
Neither about the fate and what happen to the Hadrosaurs as a whole or the Gurkan's current state.
Even if indeed it is a sad truth and shame that Hadrosaurs (Hadrosaurid) have gone almost entirely extinct with only so far known one surviving lineage that the Gurkan represent, lossing all the grandeur, biodiveristy and apex/dominant position among the fauna cast of the planet, and that the Gurkan itself live and inhabit a harshy, desperate place/location where few would prefer to live (like if it was cursed to the end to live a existence of pain and labors and end up very shamefull by dying and making extinct Hadrosaurs once for all after a long "agony", in silent and almost unheard from all others), in reality, things aren't very negatives as they seem to be.
Like you display yourself in the same episode, despite Hadrosaurs have lost most of their diversity and aren't the dominants, they still survived and have persist until these very day as the adaptive and successfull animals they always were and will continue to be.
And the Gurkan, despite where it live, is actually currently in very good health and do and live well in the deserts, and is adapted to his current home.
And is doing so fine and good that it is even one of the main, if not the main at all, dominant animal of this very precise location.
So even if not the dominants of the planet themselves, hadrosaurs and the gurkan have still remained dominants creatures in the places were they still exist nowadays !
Great music choice. Really fit the topic of a sole known remnant of a once great dynasty, dignified (well, except the part where they literally eat shit, but animals don’t care)
and hardy.
Super-hyped for next week.
Hadrosaurs are some of favorites, and I'm glad to get a Gurkhan spotlight episode. Also good to see the Taro again as the smaller Megaraptorans don't come up often. Now I'm even more ready to see one on the Nehamu. I may do a greater Hadrosaur diversity in my project. My favorite one from our own world is Olorotitan.
Greater hadrosaur diversity is always good to see. I ran into the issue of if there were more hadrosaurs to survive, they certainly would have taken back their niches and then thescelosaurs and pachycephalosaurs would have the chance
@@TalesofKaimereWhat's your favorite hadrosaur?
@@sivanlevi3867 Parasaurolophus has a lot of nostalgia and there's a lot of beautiful art of them, but Edmontosaurus might take the #1 spot. Hard to beat the template.
@@TalesofKaimere Totally agree on both of those. Parasaurolophus is also one of the few dinosaurs we know the sound of thanks to research in New Mexico. Edmontosaurus is also one of if not "the" biggest hadrosaur there was!
I chose mine because of its crest and the fact that its name means "Giant Swan".
@@sivanlevi3867 Actually, aside Sauropods, the biggest/tallest dinosaur was indeed a Hadrosaurid and a close relative of Edmontosaurus itself, but it was the asian Shantungosaurus.
This one was heartbreaking, as hadrosaurs are my absolute favorite dinosaurs (or clade of animals in general). I'm so happy to see the hardy Gurkan survive and thrive in such an isolated and harsh ecosystem! (And the Taro, which I have not heard about for a while now).
But nonetheless, I'm super excited for the thescelosaurs to get an updated and detailed video, as they're the great success story of underdogs in modern Kaimere! I must ask, will the elasmarians be getting such a video as well? I'd really like to know more about the Dro'khel.
Are you going to go into more detail about the the sauropod mimics because I find them really interesting
They have a pretty big segment in the thescelosaur episode
Please make a video about origin of the assembly and who are it's founders and do governments of 🌎 have any kind of control upon them and do the governments of earth 🌍 fund them and all of there missions in kaimera
As it is my main income, all episode topics are chosen by sponsors. However, once my expenses go down, I do want to make some unsponsored topics, and a history of the Assembly is high on that list!
if thescelosaurs decline in a part of nikar could hadrosaurs rise once more, reaching the size of edmontosaurus potentially? also congrats on 11k
Thanks! And it's possible.
10:08
That looks awesome
Thank you! It's from Ballad of Ka'Hai!
Great episode as always, for some reason I can imagine this hadrosaur being a farm animal used for food
You and me both!
The lands near the equator sound like a rough place. Either way, it is impressive that the Gurkan can make a home in such a place. The Taro sounds fascinating as well. Have Taro made the jump to Kairul? I’d be surprised if they made it far, but I could see the, living in the northern deserts.
I haven't finalized their range but it's possible they or a species in their genus in in Kairul
An animal that has been around kaimere for a long time has finally got a spotlight episode. great to learn about gurkan, I also can't wait for the updated look parksosaurs/thescelosaurs also I like to ask does the governments of world know about kaimere and thus kept it a secret from the public or is the assembly is a hidden organization within the governments
P. S. Apologies for the comment for being rather long
The great honkers and quackers. Are great no more...
There might be. Kairul is vast and poorly explored, though the gurkan is the only known hadrosaur. An argument against any other survivors is that if they made it, they almost certainly would have taken over before the pachycephalosaurs and thescelosaurs did
@@TalesofKaimere this gives me hope! 8D
It’s my headcanon that there will be a great hadrosaur uprising. Hadrosaur gang rise: we stan some of the most underrated herbivores.
They will have their day once more!
@@TalesofKaimerethis whole episode reminded me of the Secernosaurus segment from Prehistoric Planet. I wonder if it served as any inspiration?
@@jurassicswine Not really. This lore was established by that point but it was great to see the similarities!
@@TalesofKaimere oh that’s interesting! I always liked the idea of desert-dwelling hadrosaurs, and it’s cool seeing it here!
I would love to lern more about the extinct giant lions from a while back i just find them interesting
Your best bet is to sponsor an episode on them yourself, at least assuming you have the necessary funds. If it's just the extinct giant lions that'll be $100, and an episode on Kaimeran lions as a whole, including the living and extinct representatives, will cost you at least $300. The more money you give Mr. Taylor the longer and more detailed he makes that episode.
Another thing to note is that there's another species of giant lion in modern Kaimere, the Cave Lions of Arvel's southern coast. $100 will pay for an episode on that species if you're interested, but it's entirely up to you.
I love hadrosaurs it’s a bit sad that this is the last one
Let’s hope the last lil dude can evolve into many more different species😭🙏
Give him time lol
Keenan . I would love to see a video on the topic of mantissas on kaimere . It’s interesting to see what these fascinating creatures could adapt and evolve into what massive creatures could come from a preying mantis
I'd be open to it! Haven't gotten any sponsors for it specifically but I wouldn't say no if I got the budget!
This is incredible worldbuilding just like every other video but I laugh every time I hear the name Gurkan, because in my language "gurkan" means "the cucumber".
These guys is going in my top ten list of Kaimeran creatures I’d love to pet
Really good episode.
Thank you!
Hadrosaurs are so underrated
They're truly fascinating animals
The last of Kaimere's great co-monarchs
aside from the equatorial desert, what other habitats exist just beyond the known world?
Lots of swamps, forests, mountains, etc.
what were the Hadrosaurids that were harvest? like Saurolophus Gryposaurus Edmontosaurus Shantungosaurus Barsboldia Parasaurolophus Olorotitan Charonosaurus Lambeosaurus Corythosaurus Magnapaulia Tsintaosaurus
There isn’t a species list known to the Assembly so I can’t answer that
oh ok@@TalesofKaimere
love the dinos!
Honestly, this music made me feel pity and sadness towards Gurkan and his kind.
It’s interesting that hadrosaurs, from what I heard, are very hardy but they didn’t survive in vast numbers on Kaimere after the dynastic extinction
Indeed. When the good times were great, the specialists outcompeted many of their generalist kin
@@TalesofKaimere Yep really, in order to have only a few of adaptive generalist hadrosaurs species to survived and made almost all hadrosaurs dying enough to allow the Thescelosaurs and Pachycephalosaurs to radiate, it was an obligation to made them hyper-specialized in order that they don't survived.
Which isn't actually as convenient or forced as many could think at first glances, because Late Cretaceous large dinosaurs were all actually already specialized animals to start with.
So already specialized animals + around 50 mya of evolution into the Cenozoic give as a result even MORE specialized animals as a legacy.
So even more vulnerable.
And so, what you have displayed is still very realistic and coherent.
This video was awesome! fun fact about the name "gurkan" is that it means "the cucumber" in swedish 😅
I'm liking the redesigns of some of your most charismatic beasts! And jesus, those uktan are enormous now, and those arms look very powerful. I mean did T rex ever reach that size, why are they so big?
Pretty sure they did. T. Rex is heavier than Kaimere’s terrestrial megaraptorans as well (bull Kurujaku aren’t terrestrial).
You think of asking curious archive to cover Kaimere?
I’d be surprised? I don’t think he really needs a large UA-camr to cover it, especially given sponsorships he already gets, I don’t think he’d mind, but it seems to me it would be unnecessary. Especially since it could potentially come across as begging which I am sure he would like to avoid. Not inherently saying it would come off that way, but if Curious Archive does their video topics at random it may come off as odd. Not only that, but it could skyrocket Kaimeres popularity. Not an inherent problem, but having a huge load of new eyes may be stressful (obviously if the masses enjoy Kaimere, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind, but having that kind of popularity over night could be an issue). I’m not Keenan, but that is my two cents on it.
I’m sure CA has a lot on his plate and I wouldn’t want to be a bother, but I would be very excited to help out in any way I could if he were interested
I just feel like there's a lot of people missing out on this amazing content. I really stumbled upon it and I've been into spec Evo etc for a while. The UA-cam algorithm is a fickle thing and seems to be luck a lot of the time. Something small one day can blow up almost over night out of nowhere just depending on which way the algorithm blows.
Not to mention Keenan deserves all the support he can for his masterpiece. Plus I'd personally love more fan art.
Hey Keenan don’t know if you’ll see this, but I was wondering how you draw the winged creatures I’m having troubles drawing the wings when they are in a folded position m (standing and sitting on the ground) I’m working with Ambopteryx as my dragons distant ancestors, like the arboreal therapsids that led to your dragons. Any help would be appreciated!
Shant and Emdo look with disdain at weakness of their descendant.
They can do that all they want, but guess which one is currently alive? The Gurkan. One would hope they’d be happy that at least one relative is still carrying the legacy.
Hadrosaurs are the peak animals (not really but I love them regardless) it hurts me to see this is the only surviving species. At least their not completely extinct or weren't harvested at all like a certain time period beginning with a T
haha RIP Triassic Gang
cool
Woah
Id love to see you make a video on the last tyrannosaur of Kaimere

The cucumber dino lets goooo!!!!
Glad to see gherkins on Kaimere
Did avimimus or microraptor gets harvested and have descendant?
How did they participate in the Warring Clades Period?
By hiding
Neat!
what is there scientific name? or is that not finalized?
Not finalized
What if the Tyrant Dynasty never ended and the Tyrannosaurs, Hadrosaurs, Ceratopsians, and Titanosaurs survived to modern Kaimere? What would the world look like then?
As they were all pretty specialized and derived, they probably would look quite like their ancestors just with some cosmetic changes like different horn shapes and coloration.
I love hadrosaurs
Hell yeah they're fantastic!
I got a lot of hadrosaurs on my channel most secretly yet to be revealed
aside from tyrants and hadrosaurs, did any other dinosaurs clades reach their success and diversity during the tyrant dynasty?
Are there microceratopsians on kaimere if yes i might think about sponsoring a video about them in the future they are one of my favorite dinosaurs groups
Sorry made the reply to the wrong comment. To answer this proper: yes!
@@TalesofKaimere ok
@@TalesofKaimere
Would that count as clade or single animal how many microceratopsians are there ?
Is there any lagerpetids on KAIMERE?
There are no representatives of clades which were exclusive to the Earth's Triassic on Kaimere because there were no Triassic harvests. This is because of the Permian dynasty which temporarily spanned from the Earth's Late Permian to the Early Jurassic. Since dynasties are periods of ecological stability there's no reason for the portal to initiate harvests at these times unless there were minor extinctions during the said dynasty. In the currently established canon this means definitely no lagerpetids, unless Keenan decides to change something.

@@TalesofKaimere oh nice but will you make a video about it or will it just be a fact
Sorry for asking about the video
since you meantion low nutrients all the time
low overall nutrients = high species diversity
high overall nutrients = low species diversity, because a few species monopolize and use all nutrients for them
I feel the biodiversity of Kaimere reflects those trends pretty well
The houze deserts have low megafaunal biodiversity, but overall biodiversity is quite high. My statements don't account for all the microfauna, especially in the richer regions of the houze prairies.
yeah not focusing on that part, just wanted to remind that since this part seems to be counter intuitive for a lot of people. And if kaimere got an overall nutrient deficency, it would easily explain the high bioiversity you want in that project - as well why maic was forced to get life from somewhere else

@@TalesofKaimere yeah i don't really keep track of all biodiversitys in kaimere as well as their biodiversity - it just seems (as a casual viewer) that kaimere got an overall high biodiversity (whart makes the charm of it, since once clade overuling everything is quiet borring , who would watch a documentary of a planet with just 3 main land predators, cats, dogs and bears? nobody... so...)
Iguanodontidae:what about me?
I should have specified I meant hadrosaurid when I said last hadrosaur, but hadrosauriforms and hadrosauroids could be included in that common name.
There this family/clade on Kaishel.
Gurkan translates to cucumber in swedish
RETURN OF TARO!
Haha my dude never left he was just in the wings

I wonder wht thescelosaurs didn't survive in our world 🤔
Thescelosaurus itself, which was among the last known members of the family, was quite large (200-300 kg) so its chances of surviving the K-Pg extinction were minimal. Plus North America was arguably the most affected by the asteroid impact of all continents, so that didn't help either.
Also the Dynastic extinction on Kaimere may have ended the tyrant dynasty by obliterating the dominant dinosaurs on Kairul, Ni'Khar and Arvel but it wasn't nearly as devastating as the K-Pg extinction. You may have noticed that places on Kaimere which were further from the tropics, such as Kaishel, were much less affected and a lot of lineages managed to survive in remote parts of Kairul and Arvel. Kaimere being a lot larger than Earth in surface area certainly helps with lowering the impact of extinction events. So thescelosaurs definitely stood a much better chance there than they did on Earth at the end of the Cretaceous.
@@Andrey.Ivanov yep that makes sense. Didn't realize they were that big by the end of the Mesozoic
🗿👍
what eat gurkan
