      Crocs don't always have their legs sprawled out. When they want to move fast, they raise themselves up on their legs...legs under their bodies. They can move quite fast. It's been on many wildlife documentaries. And probably caught out a few unfortunate people.

      True, both of those are non-dinosaur, but most people that aren't in the know about paleontology think they are just because they lived around the time and are now extinct. But most of those people do still know that crocodilians aren't dinosaurs so Hollywood thinks they're not "interesting enough" to animate in the same setting.

      @Dieter Gaudlitz Kinda true, but crocs (and solid chunk of bigger reptiles for that) that do get to the point where age would catch up to other creatures tend to die from external causes instead of a internal cause allowing something else that otherwise wouldnt have happened to occur (organ failure usually not being from cell damage, but a issue like metal particles depositing, severe gap in their diet, disease, etc stacking up for long enough to get em/beat the full powered or at least close to full powered DNA repair and cell division).

    • @trishapellis
      @trishapellis Рік тому +2

      They don't know. Hank says in the video that, because the adaptations to the skull seem to indicate "high-impact" hunting (reinforced bony snouts and forward-facing eyes, giving it depth vision), kaprosuchus *might have even* had its legs under its body - because that would make them faster, causing them to need those reinforced snouts for when they collided with their prey and to need depth vision to accurately judge distances.
      However, it seems that in the 4 years since this video came out, some scientific studies have proposed kaprosuchus might have been semiaquatic after all, based on comparisons with a few other very closely related crocs that were definitely semiaquatic. Still, anything's possible until they find more remains of a kaprosuchus body, but I know the terrestrial boar croc is now in my D&D world - an ambush predator in the grassy hills surrounding a large river.

    The Metriorhynchoids surviving into the Cretaceous prompted me to look up what the Jurassic-Cretaceous shift was like for life, and marine crocs especially. Turns out some regional crocodyliforms did die out, but also many survived into the Cretaceous. Metriorhynchoids, the marine-est marine croc, apparently, did not care and kept doing its thing. Crocs really are survivors, huh.

    • @ambulocetusnatans
      @ambulocetusnatans 5 років тому

      Most of the changes we have made to plants and animals through selective breeding and domestication is for our benefit, not the animal's. A hybrid corn plant or a chihuahua would be at a significant disadvantage in the wild. As far as changes to the environment benefiting species, mostly those changes help invasive species like weeds and rats. Sorry to disillusion you, but the truth is prosaic.

    It's crazy to think that other phyla may have eventually become intelligent had they not been extincted. It makes life feel much more precious. We might all just get wiped out one day because we live in a 3 dimensional sandbox of physical relationships, and some things have a very profound relationship.

      The current thinking is that dinos couldn't roar either. No living archosaur can roar. Their skull and throat anatomy don't support that kind of vocalization and their unique breathing mechanism can't pump out air the same way mammal lungs need to in order to roar. Given their close relationship, dinosaurs probably sounded more like bass-maxed birds.
