I was wondering if you were going to include non-therian mammals in Kaimere and I'm glad you actually did. But as a whole it's incredible how much thought you put into every aspect of this world. Basically you're doing a proper science fiction and not just something that is loosely based on vague science, which is really awesome and brings so much more life to your fictional world
So the red panther is the only sabertooth cat left on Kaimere, but could there be other animals that evolved that tooth design? It would make sense since saber teeth have evolved several times in mammalian and therapsid carnivores independently in response to large bodied prey. (which there is a lot of on Kaimere)
Absolutely! Have nimravids slated as a possibility for the eastern continent, and hyaenodonts of the polar continent have a saber toothed clade. The therocephalians of the Permian island also have saber teeth.
Thank you so much! Means a lot to hear that. And haha yeah I realized dinosaurs are scary and all, but big cats have a long tenure of being the best at sneaking up behind people and giving their lives a dramatic conclusion.
@@TalesofKaimere being honest, dinosaurs shouldn't be an active man eaters in normal circumstances. Man eaters are usually animals that are too weak to hunt on it's usual prey, often because they're already old or they have a dental problems. Since Dinosaurs didn't had such problems, if they would've a broken tooth or that for most of the big predators, people are too small to full them, it's logical, that they're not a massive threat, as long as you keep your distance
@@mr.mystery9940 I have the large theropods as basically ignoring people unless they are nesting. Small theropods will sometimes opportunistically hunt humans as crocodiles and Komodo dragons do, but none do it on the scale of big cats. Herbivorous dinosaurs are generally a bigger threat to people, since they associate mammalian scents with nest raiders. As on Earth, large male leopards will sometimes specialize in humans once they get a taste for it, and lions are the same way too (hence lions being hunted to localized extinctions in many civilized areas)
Can't wait for the eventual Hyena episode, one of my favorite carnivore groups, really enjoyed how you handled Ursines, can't wait to see what you do next!
easily my favorite out of all of these, you have such underrated content it crazy that not many people see such good ass stuff like this, im such a huge fan of this bro, im so getting the book when its out
are there any xenerthrans (pardon my spelling) other than sloths native to kaimere? Anteaters might be quite cool, and since giant ones and swing on jaguars and sometimes win, plus having hair which to me seems quite easy to evolve into porcupine spines (probably wrong tho), i think they might have been able to not get insta smited this was an amazing video, well done and thank you for spending so much time on this project : )
Xenarthrans are doing super well in Kaimere! There are some anteaters and armadillos in the known world, but sloths are the real breakout stars. In the known world alone there are 6 species of aquatic sloths, there's one giant terrestrial species, a dozen smaller ground sloths, and two clades of tree sloths. The dinosaur-favored climate benefits their slower metabolisms, and they are super successful, being the dominant herbivore clade alongside ungulates.
I... may have accidentally overshown their size when estimating scale lol. They are massive, with Guppik in Of Frost and Famine being compared to the small ponies of the villagers. Whale hounds max out at around 300 pounds, but I think the one there is a bit bigger than that.
A retcon indeed. I felt like the change better explained the anatomy. Easier for a semiaquatic hyaenodont to retain their limb morphology and otter-like build than for an early relative of the leopard seal to evolve more robust and flexible limbs to move estuary debris, and it also helped me flesh out my idea of hyaenodonts taking to semiaquatic predatory niches following the dynastic extinction.
I'll start by saying that i just started binging your videos yesterday but i'm already invested in this specu-world, but in the duration of this video i was asking myself why didn't the humans domesticated hyenas instead of wolves here if they're more numerically in these human settled continents? Don't get me wrong the idea that wherever we go we domesticate the same pets (like cats on earth) is cool and it's cool to have this Kaimeran stem-dog. Maybe you said something on your next videos and idk yet
The biggest obstacles are the aggression of female hyenas and size+diet of common hyenas in general. Dogs are omnivores and can eat just plenty of refuse, while hyenas need meat. Basically dogs can eat scraps while hyenas would compete with their owners for prime food. One is a much more practical pet. Males can pretty reliably be tamed, but since female common hyenas are very aggressive and don’t readily breed in captivity, they are poor candidates for domestication.
I love your style , design and presentation of the lore!! I enjoy your bestiary of your world and this realm himself! Is a combination between the epic fantasy sword and sorcery but with a scientific speculative evolution! I love it!
As a world dominated by wetlands and reptiles, Jaguars would be the undisputed king amongst big cats. Them, along with tigers, would dominate as apex ambush predators.
@@TalesofKaimere don't forget to add some cliché carnivorus plants. And maybe let those plants develop flowers independend from earth plants and diverge from there. Possible with their own polinators. For example a mouse/lizard like grpund polinator and because of them there are ground flowers ir root flowers. Developed out of compleatly different structures. Plants make an environment truly alien and since the mass extinction events on your world had little to no impact on the plant species, you should have some truly diverse highly developed plants. Oh and don't forget, a lot of nutruents mean not a lot of plant diversity, very few nutrients mean a high plant diversity. Also the most likely way plants walk truh a portal is as seeds in the stomach of animals...
One of the troodontids (basically a dinosauroid) that is now extinct in the known world. They can still be found on the Eastern continent. I talk about them a bit more in the previous video (the short Q&A) and will go into more detail in the dromie video.
Why do the Kaimere big cats (not so far removed from present day Earth big cats) inflict a higher body count on Kaimere peoples than the myriad theropod dinosaur and pterosaur superpredators? Much closer daily proximity in shared habitats that don't overlap so much with the hunting grounds of the T-Rex equivalents, etc?
Proximity bias is a big part (big cats are able to thrive in the same places as humans because of the general exclusion of megatheropods) and also big cats have a long history of viewing humans as a source of food, while theropods generally regard us by scent and sight as at most a potential threat to their nests. There are stories of uktan sneaking into dolani villages, gathering up several people, and sneaking off, but these are rare cases of an individual learning to hunt humans instead of any instinctive inclinations.
@@TalesofKaimere The Kaimere humans may be more unpleasant to digest for the divergent dinosaurs and pterosaues (and more ancient mammal predators as well).
Nice to see mammals don't totally suck compared to dinosaurs
They definitely hold their own.

I love all this lore, makes me really intereasted in make my own world with some crratures I created
Do it!
You have a great reading voice.
You know you live somewhere crazy when there are dinosaurs but everyone is more worried about the leopards.
Thank you so much! Means a lot to hear that.

@@TalesofKaimere pretty interesting that of all carnivorous animals, theropods would be least dangerous neighbor for humans
Cool to see a Nimravid and also i think the Dinofelis is an underappreciated genus of saber-toothed cat
As a proficient climber, Dinofelis seemed a great contender to make a name for itself in Kaimere.
@@TalesofKaimere That was what i was thinking, as i saw it in Walking with Beasts
Holy crap the whale hound is enormous.
The BIGGEST boy.
Can't wait for the eventual Hyena episode, one of my favorite carnivore groups, really enjoyed how you handled Ursines, can't wait to see what you do next!
Thanks!!
lovely, you inspired me to make a book, i will start an online book too when ill finish the physical project. keep the good job!
Thank you! Definitely do it its a really rewarding project!
I think that's interesting different predatory mammals ranging from creodonts to marsupials. They all look really awesome with their designs
Thank you!
@@TalesofKaimere No problem, I do think it's amazing

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
do crustaceans! i cant wait to see that filter feeding lobster and i imagine you have some other cool massive bugs.
Keep doing this videos! With your imaginative mind and skill to draw you are creating a unique world.
Count on it! Thank you so much!
Are there organisms from before the dinosaurs that managed to hold there own on kaimere? Like placoderms or trilobites?
are there any xenerthrans (pardon my spelling) other than sloths native to kaimere?

Oh wow,I never knew the Akanuk Whale Hounds are that massive.

That was pretty cool! I'll definitely make a few of these beasts as figurines!
That’d be so neat!!
@@TalesofKaimere I'll let you when I've done it!
The Na'Hashet is a mob boss and I love it.
Straight up. Dude will mimic the sounds of any pack animal and gather a posse then eat them when times get tough.
*Sees the Nehamu.
Me contemplating if there are any other tyrannosaur holdovers: "So your telling me theres a chance".
The Eastern continent is quite vast...
I liked the first two stories in the tales of Kaimere, it be a plot twist if the Tyrants never did perish!
We still have the nehamu!
I too am working on world-building and this gave me lots of inspiration. Thank you.
My pleasure!
This is so cooool!!!!!!
Thank you!
Really cool
Thanks!

Oh, so the Renzhuyo is a creodont now?
Cause I could’ve sworn it was a pinniped.
Probably just a retcon.

@@TalesofKaimere thank you for forging this captivating world and stories that you put out there!
Can we have a look at the hervivores next time?
I do have some herbivore videos on the roster! Probably late august/september is when the ungulate video will be put together.
Liked the Lion, but you should probably do Smilodon the most famous of the extinct big cats!
Smilodon never coincided with a portal so never got the chance but they were really impressive animals!
Very NICE

The red panther now
2:01 Ah yes, love that meme
i love the creodonts
Mammals Rule!
@Hayden D. Toa not on keimere.
epic really interesting
Thanks!
how about the flora?
I've got a few canon species. Not enough to do a video on yet, but it's on the roster!

"Tree fox" but foxs climb trees do they permanently live in the trees?
The 'tree fox' of Kaimere just spend more time in the branches than most foxes. It's really to distinguish them from burrowing foxes.
