@@eons Thank you Seth! And thank all of you for all your work, these videos are good samplers to peak our interest for further study, you really "get our geek on"!
@@eons Well then, a huge thank you to Seth for curating these knowledge journeys, to the writers and researchers who put them together, and to the wonderful presenters who both inform us so well and make these presentations so accessible and digestible. You guys come together to make an ecosystem of excellence and I appreciate you.
I love how when you guys describe ancient extinct animals you always describe them in such an admiring tone, and even though these animals are no longer alive its great how you acknowledge how successful they were and how cool these animals were, almost like honoring them :)
Tony Lopez most of the artwork they use is actually the work of scientific illustrators. The channel “the brain scoop” has a neat video or two about it, but basically these art-scientists use science to try and decipher what these creatures looked like, and then paint/draw them in their habitat. Even though the original job of just drawing things is largely replaced by cameras, there is still a field out there which produces thousands of these sketches, trying to take all the data and science and turning it into art. Something else neat about these drawings is the fact that many of them, even when based off the same specimen, can look totally different. That’s because they have to try and re-add life into bones, so even though their field is super scientific and they usually need a very large education, there is still a lot of artistic interpretation put into it, especially when it comes to skin, fur, color, etc
Episodes like this are the exact reason I don't suggest video topics. I had no clue these creatures existed, and they are fascinating. What a cool episode.
Either way, must've made some _fiendish_ bacon. But being quite the dominant species must be such a _boar_ No wonder the Infernal Oinkers liked to _hog_ all kinds of food for themselves. Some swine would eventually see it and make a _pig's breakfast_ of the whole situation.
I don't think there's a channel on UA-cam that covers these topics better than this one. The art is fantastic, the hosts stay on topic and keep things concise and the videos always cover interesting animals. So glad I found this.
I remember them saying something about them being one of the most fearsome creatures to have lived on land. Every now and then I look them up, always forgetting what they are called, and think "Man, I'm glad you aren't around today." Amazing.
hell pigs were one of my childhood fears because the model in the museum made noises and i was sort of convinced they were still out there, wandering the planes of Wyoming i would very much like to see a video about Bear Dogs, i've never heard about them before and ancient fauna is a special interest of mine
This is one of my favourite extinct mammals. I’ve been obsessed with them ever since Walking With Beasts came out years ago. They are just so ludicrously obscure and peculiar in their morphology. Not to mention entelodonts had faces that only their mothers could love.
Amphicyonids honestly need their own video. Creodonts are likely polymorphic. The hyaenodonts could get their own video, but we know little about the oxyaenids.
PBS really stand out, both as Cable networks moved to youtube and as informative shows, no half-baked cgi and weird flashy editing here, just great writing, great presenting of the information and of the fantastic artwork, and great editing, even good music in the background.
Ok... ... Grass... it came about a bit over 3 million years ago, and spread basically worldwide. There ya go. Your video on Grass. That'll be 10 thousand dollars.
I remember an episode of Palaeoworld, called Valley of the Uglies, which centred on entelodonts and their world. Imagine, then, how much I love this episode of Eons
Thank you for doing this video. Very informative. Weird how I wanted you to do a video about Entelodonts several weeks ago and here it is. I hope you do some more videos about other ancient carnivores like the Bear Dogs, the Creodonts, the Mesonychids, the Percrocutidae and possibly even one about Andrewsarchus? They all sound so interesting. Keep up the great work.
I have seen that one at 1:10 on the left in person. It is from the Dakota Dinosaur Museum in Dickinson North Dakota. I was friends of the Curator years ago when I worked oil rigs as an on-site geologist.
I for one would like to see fungi. Everyone cares about mammals and reptiles and plants but does anyone wonder about fungi? You know, its not like its just the 3rd other type of cellular organisms we have or anything special liek that...........................
@@mkmasterthreesixfive Good point without fungi there would be no life on land no plants and no animals out of the water as the fungi were the ones that paved the way by breaking down the rocks to support plants that is a pretty big role
I was pretty gobsmacked that there used to be a thing literally called *HELL PIGS* and then you just drop freakin' *BEAR DOGS* like its nothing? GSOKNF:OGJNLKNDCG
I have seen a great deal of the illustrations in this series in a collection of Time-Life hardcover books that my father bought starting in the late 60s - early 70s. The "action" pix of leaping dinosaur or fights between predators always stood out to me. I think it's great that they are still being used by EONS to accompany the lectures. The Time-Life set of books were (extremely well) written for a general audience interested in Biology, Astronomy, Physical Science and Technology. They were loaded with well-designed charts and graphs and, of course, superb detailed full page illustrations. When I became a teacher I donated the nearly complete set to my school library. Gosh, those books were terrific.
Blake seems to host all the videos about animals whose names belong on the back of motorcycle gang jackets: Hell Pigs! Bone-Crushing Dogs! Dire Wolves! >-D BTW, still holding out here for the evolution of sense organs and a general overview of how many different kinds there are. :-)
They have a video that is sort of related called "The Rise and Fall of the Bone-Crushing Dogs." They don't mention bear dogs specifically but it is worth watching if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/sZhxCUay5ks/v-deo.html
I saw these on a doc about ferocious extinct animals...they really stood out as particularly unnerving....would definitely make you pay for your bacon!
The whole team make life the universe and everything come to life with their excellent presenting, editing and graphics.......hey, hope the cold gets better
I find the weird prehistoric mammals that evolved between the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs and the emergence of the first humans to be much more interesting than the non-avian dinosaurs at this point, probably because they haven't been anywhere as overexposed in popular culture
Placentas! Blake stated he would some day talk about the evolution on placentas. I'm still waiting on that video. I will blitz spam every Eons upload until I get my placenta video.
Can we just take a minute to acknowledge the thankless job of the person who does the editing for these videos. We appreciate you
His name is Seth Radley, and he is a true genius (and a delightful human being). Truly, his work is what makes Eons so beautiful. (BdeP)

he's just adapting and evolving.
Geez, you're right.
The Orcs called, they want their Wargs back.

"Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!"
Who, the hellhogs or the bear dogs?
There definantly preaty scary looking.
@Silviu Florin
You are thinking ORKS. Not ORCS.
I would like to take this time to thank the illustrators of this wonderful series 🙏🏽
thank you drawing person(s) 😊
Many of the drawings are from popular palæontology books. Taschen Verlag issued a fine and heavy collection about 2 years ago.
me too

Episodes like this are the exact reason I don't suggest video topics. I had no clue these creatures existed, and they are fascinating. What a cool episode.
"Hell pigs" is ok but Hell Hogs is so much better. Maybe I'm a sucker for alliteration.
The hogs from hell sounds good
Either way, must've made some _fiendish_ bacon. But being quite the dominant species must be such a _boar_
No wonder the Infernal Oinkers liked to _hog_ all kinds of food for themselves. Some swine would eventually see it and make a _pig's breakfast_ of the whole situation.
Hell Hippos?

@@deviljho4260 LAnd orcas?
It's a fine day whenever PBS Eons publishes a new video
Indeed comradde. Mother Russia gleams with Joy at the sight of this.
Ay
Missed out on the opportunity for some great alliteration: should be called "Hell hogs"
Had the same thought. Disappointing.
Most probably there will be a band with that name sonewhere or anytime soon. Otherwise you can use it for yours.
Heck piggies
Bear Boars

Thanks for another wonderful and instructive episode of "Fantastic Beasts and When to Find Them".
I love this comment.
Now this is what fantastic beasts should have been. Not Johnny depp and a bottle of bleach

the art ben g thomas uses is great but he doesnt stand a chance against callie and blake
My boy looking jacked. Good work man.
Anybody remember these Entelodonts in the old documentary Walking with beasts. Damn those things were intimidating.
Hell yeah, freakiest part
" old documentary" *shrivels up and feels ancient*
I remember them saying something about them being one of the most fearsome creatures to have lived on land. Every now and then I look them up, always forgetting what they are called, and think "Man, I'm glad you aren't around today." Amazing.
Still my favorite documentary. That was my favorite episode-giant rhinos, hell hogs, clawed horses, bear dogs, and giant hyena lookalikes
hell pigs were one of my childhood fears because the model in the museum made noises and i was sort of convinced they were still out there, wandering the planes of Wyoming
i would very much like to see a video about Bear Dogs, i've never heard about them before and ancient fauna is a special interest of mine
Would you be able to do a video in acanthodii? They are a extinct group of fish and they seem really interesting. A video on them would be awesome!
This is one of my favourite extinct mammals. I’ve been obsessed with them ever since Walking With Beasts came out years ago. They are just so ludicrously obscure and peculiar in their morphology. Not to mention entelodonts had faces that only their mothers could love.
Oh great! The hell pigs! Next do their rival the creodonts and/or amphicyonids
i want videos for both of them
Yes for amphicyon!
Hell yes from both of those, amphicyon especially, those things are badass
Amphicyonids honestly need their own video.
Creodonts are likely polymorphic. The hyaenodonts could get their own video, but we know little about the oxyaenids.
ANDREWSARCHUS!!!
PBS really stand out, both as Cable networks moved to youtube and as informative shows, no half-baked cgi and weird flashy editing here, just great writing, great presenting of the information and of the fantastic artwork, and great editing, even good music in the background.
The Bone Crushing Dogs? The Hell Pigs?
He seems to have a thing for animals that could be potential Heavy Metal bands. ;)
I had Black Sabbath playing in my head all the way through this episode. And Dire Wolves could quite easily be a heavy metal band name as well!!
The Miocene was metal.
There was an episode called "Invading Terror Birds"! Angry Bear Dogs!
True
Yeah! 🤘
Do an episode on grass!
GRAAAAASS!

Please do a video on bear dogs! I’ve heard about them several times but never seen a dedicated video to them.
PBS Eons would go on to do a video about beardogs, that is actually one of my favourite videos from them and one of the first I watched on here
I remember an episode of Palaeoworld, called Valley of the Uglies, which centred on entelodonts and their world.
Imagine, then, how much I love this episode of Eons

im with you there
Yeah, thats definitely something worth taking about.
@@shrekman6144 hell yeah
@JuicyWatermelone noice,would love to see how it hunted
This one of my favorite channels! Thanks for showing me things that are hard to come by anywhere else.
Always a great day when Eons uploads a new video. My mind will definitely be well fed
I love when they tie in animals from other videos! Keep it up.

My dude has been crushing it at the gym
You finally did the video I recommended like 3 times. Thank you

I love this channel! Thank you for your amazing content, people from PBS Eons!
Last time I was this early there were still entelodonts in Wyoming.
why are you here you should be making a chansaw canon or something
Legit thanks for saying Saskatchewan (nailed the pronunciation) instead of just saying Canada. We appreciate it.
For some reason this was one of my favorites. It was so interesting!!
Blake out here looking like Daddy got me distracted.

Why is no one talking about the bear dogs???
My thoughts exactly!
They have a video of it
Have been binge watching the PBS videos - highly informative and very professionally done - kudos!
The hell pigs bacon must have been amazing
I'd think it would be extremely gamey.
@@PrettyH8Mach1n3 unless you started breeding them for that purpose. You could “breed out” the gamey-ness
Hell pigs? So, the lineage of my boss.
Hello from Saskatchewan!
Blake de Pastino is by far my favorite host on this channel. I love the episodes he hosts the most.
Also... Holy Crap!, welcome to the gun show!
My audio seems broken. I see him open his mouth repeatedly but all I hear is "giant bacon!"
I would love to see a video about goats, and why they seem to have a lot of simular bodies to things like ancestors of horses and camels
I would love to see how red hair and freckles came to exist,thank you so much I love this channel.
Don't know how freckles came about, however iirc, red hair likely came as a result of interbreed ING with neanderthals
@@conmara6492 cool thanks,i guess i don't need PBS to make an awesome video on the subject since you cleared it all up for me.
Pretty sure that was the devils work
Freckles are just spots of melanin! So it doesn't really have a special descent unlike red hair,
the editing, graphics and the presentation is top notch, also best host
6:20 Can't wait for the Bear Dog video
This was an amazing episode, but now I need one about beardogs.
Pigs today are probably the most underrated group of animals, intelligent and some incredibly tough!
allso 1 bacon beats 2 any other meat in tastieness
This guys arms are getting massive, he must be eating more than one of those hell pigs
Love this. can the next video be about the Siberian unicorn?
They already did it.
Oh really? You were talking about Elasmotherium?
So.. When are we getting the Bear-Dog episode?
I think we need a Bear Dogs episode now
Here: ua-cam.com/video/xbmLqrnxH2w/v-deo.html
Yes! The much anticipated Eons episode on hell hogs!
Really love the intro to these kinds of videos, like in the dire wolves episode. The storytelling device is great!
You know you're doing something right with your life when someone references you as an 'expert on hell pig research'.
*"Hell Pigs"*
You mean the Pigmen from Minecraft?
Yes.
Yes.
Haaawwww…

Every time I see you made a new video my heart skips with happy :)
Pls do an episode on bear dogs because I didn't know they were a thing until this episode
Platybelodon called, it apologizes for the behavior of its little cousins and will arrive to pick them up shortly.
I saw these on a doc about ferocious extinct animals...they really stood out as particularly unnerving....would definitely make you pay for your bacon!
But theyd make great guard pigs

6:18 Hey now. You can't just name drop the bear dogs like that. You've got me messed up.
This is my favorite predatory prehistoric mammal
Next Episode should be Bear Dogs
This thing must've been a jack of all trades. I wonder what other creature could've matched Entelodonts in power.
Can we get a video on the evolution of stone tools and there importance for human development?
They've already done one
Now there needs to be a video on bear dogs
Damn you guys. How d'ya make these so interesting?
Another great video guys! Thanks for this awesome content!

I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BEAR DOGS
They are the common ancestor to both bears and dogs.

one of my favorite mega-fauna
Love the way you show scale next to a person so I can see how truly huge these animals were.. Frightening 😳
I've always disliked the term "Hell Pig". I prefer "Hell Hippo". It's more accurate and scarier. Like hippos are pretty scary as is.
nop those are way agressive, they fight like dogs and wolf, hipo like to kiss hard with two long teeth.
That was awesome, great content! Thanks!
