Thats why dogs bury their bones. In memory of their dead ancestors who had fallen to the cat hordes during the great war.
Lol
NUUUUU rip big doggos....
They can't crack them, so they're sending them back to the dogs that could.
they're canidae, therefore they're dog
To soon.
Actually, they're closer related to wolfs, foxes, and other modern day doggos than to bears, otters, seals, etc. Where's your logic here? They were even in the same family, and might have had a similar bone structure.
From crushing bones to barking at doors. How the mighty have fallen.
It's the same with humans. We used to hunt prey by chasing them for miles in small groups.
Now we just sit and watch TV stuffing twinkies and beer into our pieholes.
@@actsrv9 but if the need comes we can create havoc with all the nukes and guns we have...much more than our ancestors
Cats got it the worst they were literally seen as gods in ancient Egypt. Now they stand by there bowl side giving you the sad puppy dog eyes waiting for there next meal. Talk about how the mighty has fallen lmao. They went from gods to a feline Oliver twist.
That could be said for nearly all animals

Dogs now: scared of firecrackers

Dogs now are also bffs with the T-800, so, make what you will of that
Like the video mentioned, dogs have great hearing. Their ears are sensitive. Anything loud is painful to their ears. Just like when someone screams in your ear, it's loud, and it hurts. :/
Not my dog.
To be fair, a bone-crushing dog would also probably be afraid of firecrackers.
You would know the real feelin of scared if you firecracked my dogs
And eventually developed the most amazing adaptation ever: Convince humans to go to the supermarket for them. That's the real top of the foodchain.
Dogs have become the New Master Race or maybe Cats?
@@riddickmarkus69
Cats don't even need to be taken on walks and rarely need your attention. They are the master race.
They could be better it wouldn't have gone any better
@@brooklyna007 Cats aren't as social nor as intelligent as dogs, as well as being less of companions and more of serial killers, which makes dogs the better choice, being tame but without really losing their primal instincts.
They may not have the most horsepower in their heads, but dogs are the smartest animals in the world for one reason: they’ve teamed up with the apex animal. They are (for the most part) not considered food by us, and live in our homes as a family member. Chimps and dolphins won’t be going to the stars with us, but dogs will.
Long ago, the three nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the *Cat* Nation attacked.
Cats rule
Cats barely did anything to their extinction. It was a mix of catastrophies like change of climate, competition with other bone chrushers, Canines (yes, the dogs we have today is one of the reasons they are dead) and more! Canines evolved to use stamina than brute power or bulk. If you think about it, their extinction is like Megalodon's, change of climate, new species, and competition. Stop thinking cats are the reason they are extinct because cats barely did anything.
This was inspired by Some body.
@@wolfblade9530 they also compete with cats, so they didn't really did barely anything
@@taiyo9421 Epicyon competed with a-lot of animals like Canines, Bond Crushers, and cats.

Thank you for your passion and hard work in making these videos and extinct creatures known to us
I wish I had teachers like this when I was in school, I can tell y’all are actually interested in the content you post.
Ah yes, the canids made it to Africa and early humans bonded with them like "oh, you play the long-game exhaustion hunting technique? Us too! We should go hunting together!"
no coincidence that the other human species without dogs all went extinct. We have a lot to thank the mutts for
Destiny, no other word for it.
Joshua Bartlett there was supposedly an ice age at the time, so the equator (which happens to pass through Africa) wasn’t nearly as hot as it is now, so even Northern Africa could have been temperate.
If memory serves the oldest extant dog breeds genetically can be traced back to Siberia note however that dogs were not domesticated just once but several times same with other animals such as cats and camels of the top of my head. They were also domesticated in Europe but those dogs left no living descendants eventually being replaced by their Asian kin.

So, dogs adapted to a strategy of running prey down long distances, did they?
Sounds familiar...
Yes. Perfect match because it started with a rivalry. Packs of dogs and packs of humans hunting same species of prey with similar strategy. At some point they realized it would benefit both if they hunted together instead. ;)

@@robwalsh9843 Mothlight studios makes a good point on that though, in the wild the big cats are going endangered and no cat has ever topped a dog in running stamina which is why both are still evenly matched in their respective lands

It doesn't. Cats and Caninae got along well - cats just eliminated the bone-crushers, who very likely also meant competition and peril for the Caninae.

@@eons Yess! The large and bizarre eocene mammals are fascinating
It's either Prosynthetoceras www.deviantart.com/ardynictis/art/Prosynthetoceras-francis-761034849 , Synthetoceras, or one of the early ancestors of Jar-Jar Binks.

Get yourself a bear, basically the same thing.
victorpapaavp ew. Your one of those weird furparents that has an American Bully he thinks is an APBT that or your dog is obese. Read the breed standard lol your dog is over the desired APBT weight.
Dam might want to see what else your pitbull is crossed with real pitbulls dont get that big unless hes overweight but most of the time not saying you because I don't know but people most of the time miss calculate the true weight. I have had game working real pitbulls for 26 years and one of my best dogs a legend people still talk about him and he was 34lb all jaw

I KNOW!! :D That kind of thing is _exactly_ why I love the prehistoric mammals so much--for all the weird designs that we don't have around at all anymore! In that case, the unicorn-deer-thing is probably a Synthetoceras. It's one of my favourites too. :)

Ralph Vermolen Lol You have no idea what kind of person I am. I would never bother a wild animal just cause they’re cute (or for any other reason). You could have made your point without assuming I’m a dumbass.
Sorry to nit-pick, but that painting of epicyon with its floppy ears is terrible. Floppy ears are useless for an animal trying to survive in the wild. Floppy ears are one of the traits linked with domestication; see Dmitry Belyayev and his famous domestic fox study.
And domestication seems to have made them stupendously successful, bending us to their will with their floppy ears.
It makes it look like a giant pit bull.
neotony
That's the thing about people. They tend to be unable to imagine certain things so they just resort to what is already familiar. In this case, since the artist didn't have all the information, inspiration was taken from modern dogs.
True but if you are going to present a rigorous time line for the emergence of species you should like wise be rigorous in any representation of those species you present I would say.
It's pretty well known that floppy ears are a hallmark of domesticated animals ...not just dogs in fact, it is further not a trait that would be selective in an environment where humans don't exist and the efficiency of hearing is reduced due to ear flop (yes...it is). So it doesn't make sense in any direction as a trait to be shown in renditions of a canine species that lived millions of years before homonins separated from the LCA with chimps.
Excellent video! I actually learned something.

For all of those saying that cats brought their extinction, it was a mix of factors such as climate change, competition within other bone crushers, the biotic interchange of North America, Asia, And South America. And they were also already dwindling as their descendants, modern canines switched for a more powered(and adaptive) chase hunting style rather than specialized power and bulk, which was more successful.
Cats just barely did anything, as they were just another group of animals with Similar hunting styles. And these cats were not related to your cats that you have right now.

Mr. Cool ye
It kinda makes me wonder did accidentally recreate a part of the gene for this animal?
I am especially appreciative of the writers of this series willingness to say that something is an unknown or a theory. One of the greatest mistakes I encounter is when experts present something that is thought to have occurred as a hard fact. This is a vital difference between evolutionary theory and theology. Scientific theory is a fact that incorporates guesses. Theologists posit that scientific theory is ALL theory, i.e. NOT fact, and that theology presents as fact. This, in my view, is the difference between education and dogma.

@@joyconbulb3743 that's because cats go after smaller prey. The reason that smaller cats were the kind that humans domesticated was probably just because they wouldn't be able to kill you as easily early on in domestication. (excluding lions [which use pack hunting, like wolves] and jaguars [which are incredibly strong skull crushing cats])
I mean the Sabertooth Cats did die off from long distance runners like wolves so i guess they got payback.
Where did you get the maps from. I like them and they seem to explain more about the landscape than I've seen before.
Listening to intelligent people talking is so soothing.
Why do so many of the pictures make them look like various domestic breeds of dogs?
Joshua Hillerup yeah one looks a lot like a pit bull or mastiff
Because artists are often not scientists.
Artistic liberty. Not scientific art.
1) It's paleo art. If your a paleo artist, it's kinda your job to know what they animal looks like. And they aren't just your usual painter.
2) Scientist is a very broad term. It's everything from studying insects, to studying space.
Another thing to consider is that with their hunting style and powerful jaws, they probably did have shorter, broader snouts and heads, making them more akin visually to mastiff breeds than wolves.
Just imagine, for a moment, an Internet dominated not by cats but by bone-crushing dogs instead!
Blasphemy! Cats will always reign superior!
It be a better place.
Heaven is real :')
That's a world I want to live in!
I imagine if bone crushing dogs were still around, house cats would be like a snack for them. In the same type of way that you feed a large snake a rabbit or a chicken, ya know? Sure it’s technically a pet type creature, but to your pet it’s also edible.
I wish we have any way of reviving these awesome creatures back to life... Not just to memory.
This host is so wholesome omg
I suggested this forever ago! I’m so glad you guys are covering them!
Both of my dog and cat are well with each other.
The older and mature, dog are smarter and take care of everything. Cat are more of hidden wisdom and territorial. Only show affection to me and familiar faces.
I love them both, and thank them everyday for taking care of our home and family.
*They are better than my human acquaintances.*
Athousand Light Glad you can find what you can trust.
My German Shepard and cat used to sleep together. They are both gone now RIP.
I love both cats 😺🐈 and dogs🐶🐕 too! 💖💖
Michael Rojas did they leave behind a German cat for memories! 😂🤣😂🤣 sorry couldn’t help myself. Advanced apologies if I offended.
ancient dog: exist
ancient cats: im about to end this whole species lineage ..
Humans: Not so fast
@@whichway1481 too late. Two of the three genus arms got wiped out. Basically, there's dogs/dingoes left. While cats have spread from the tiny to the great big, spreading out into a lot of genuses and species.
Mary Ann Bittle Dogs are still here though. Call it a phyrric victory
I totally love your shows
Love this channel!!😀 it's so informative and entertaining and interesting.
Possible future topics:
How photosynthesis evolved.
Gorgonopdids and other animals of the time.
Ophabina, anomalocaris, and other such early blizzard creatures
Kaprosuchus and other crocodilomorphs like armadillosuchus
(You guys are way better at coming up with topics though so just keep doing what your doing, because it's awesome 😀👍)
There NEEDS to be an episode on the crocodilomorphs!
+The Creature Wow. I'm surprised I actually can't find anything on how cyanobacteria evolved, or what their immediate ancestor was. PBS Eons does need to do a video on the evolution of photosynthesis, as you have said.
Wasnt there already a video on the gorgonopsids?
Oh! Photosynthesis Is a GREAT idea!
They already did one on evolution of photosynthesis
It's right here
