I would think that this animal would be quite a bit faster than any animal from description of leg which is closer to description of a giraffe's leg than an elephant's leg.
@@ian_b Unfortunately, some of those animals are on the verge of extinction. That’s why we should marvel at them now and do our best to protect these species.
I think every extincted creature would be amazing part of aur world. But every species that has become extinct leaves behind space for a new species to develop and take this niche.
Some reasons why mammals can not match the size of sauropods is the fact that mammals lack air sacks present in dinossaurs which made them extremely light for their size, another reason has to do with the mammalian thermoregulation and circulatory system, big terrestrial mammals would probably cook themselves ( and their calves) to death
We don't know extinct dinosaurs metabolic rate, we do know that modern dinosaurs [birds] have a faster metabolic rate than mammals! Sauropod gigantism was exclusive, theropods and ornithischians got to about the same size as mammals. I've read a lot on the subject and imo the reason for sauropod gigantism has more to do with their digestive system/eating method.
@@trvth1s i think so. Sauropods did not chew their food so they could consume larger quantities in less time. The long necks also helped conserve energy as they could stand in one spot and reach tons of leaves by just swinging their heads around. Overall a more efficient feeding system despite the low quality food.
@@Burt1038 yeah but a trunk from a proboscidean could do that as well, and its arguably more useful. Imo the reason sauropods got so much bigger was their reproduction strategies, as well as their avian breathing system.
Really well-written and narrated work! The perissodactyla are my favorite clade of vertebrates, just ahead of the proboscideans. Both groups-as extant animals-have wonderful, kid-like temperaments. The CGI here are great. Very evocative.
Extinct mammals don't seem to stimulate the imagination of the public in the same way as dinosaurs. But an "Oligocene Park" would surely have as much dramatic potential as a Jurassic one.
There’s great artist in history that had morbid taste casting together bones from slaughter houses during the Victorian era fabricating these imaginative cryptoids
Never seen your channel before. I really enjoyed your video. From here I plan on binge watching some more of your videos. Good stuff. Thanks for posting! ❤️💜💚
I have a reasonable appreciation of the size of these creatures because in the northeast corner of California there is a life size statue of one as a roadside attraction, for God only knows what reason since the area is not associated with any spectacular fossil finds.
Brilliant video. So glad you touched upon one of my favourite mammals and prehistoric animals in general! You reckon you could follow up with the only other land mammal possibly capable of challenging it in terms of sheer mass - Palaeoloxodon namadicus?
I wonder if human extink what kinda animal will evolve , because when their is Human on eart ,world fillt with amazing flora but their is human amazing animal only exist in several location
My suggestions would be Arctotherium angustidens along with Arctodus. Giraffititan if you've not done that. The Ngandong Tiger. Megatherium. Machairodus. Megaloceros.
I'm no expert but it seems obvious to me that the reason terrestrial mammals have never achieved the size of sauropods is because females carry a large baby (or babies) around inside of them, and the larger the mammal, the longer the gestation. This adds a weight issue that an egg layer never has to contend with. It also consumes a huge amount of the mother's own resources, which an egg layer doesn't need to worry about. This cyclical weight issue affects the shape and tensile strength of bones and tendons, blood circulation and energy levels. A sauropod essentially 'exchanges' this cyclical weight for a permanent weight of the food it is ingesting - more food intake, less diversion of energy to fetal development followed by milk production = larger body. Only those mammals that went back to the buoyancy of the ocean could then balloon in size.
Just as a guilty pleasure it worth noting that there are stories about a sauropod-like cryptid, the mokele-mbebe, from the Congo basin. Remnant long-tailed paraceratherium desendants?
Dinosaurs had another advantage in growing so large that mammals did not: As already mentioned long gestation period that large mammals have to contend with, this could result in only 1 relatively large and vulnerable offspring (no litter for large mammals it seems). This is a huge requirement in time and resources and it could easily be all for nothing if a predator gets a hold of it Meanwhile dinosaurs - even the large sauropods could lay multiple eggs. Apparently even the largest dinosaurs didn't lay eggs much bigger than basketballs, because any larger could make the eggshell too thick and that much harder to breach for hatching to occur. So, large dinosaurs could lay multiple eggs, and even though predation on the offspring would still be an issue, a lot more offspring would ensure that some could at least make it to adulthood. Also, the offspring would probably have some measure of self sufficiency for acquiring food, rather than being dependent upon its mother for milk. So egg-laying would appear to be an advantage for larger size than the single live birthing/milk-dependent strategy of large mammals. The time and resource requirement on a clutch of eggs would seem to be considerably less than what was necessary to bear and raise one offspring.
That would be a cool video. Anyway, I watched a video lecture from David Hone on the subject which briefly touched on this topic. He's got a whole bunch of really outstanding lectures on UA-cam which I can't recommend enough
@@NORTH02 1)Mammals have large heavy and thick skulls compared to dinosaurs. 2)Sauropods also lay eggs as already mentioned in this comment. 3)Sauropods also had a lighter skeleton. 4)But an additional and very important reason is that reptiles have much more cartilage in their bone joints to cope with the stress of their body weight. The dinosaurs had very thick and broad bone ''heads'' which acted as a dampers. Dinosaurs had relatively flat heads on their long limb bones due to the deformation of the cartilage by the weight. Mammals on the other hand developed a completely different strategy from the reptiles. We have rounder and more symmetrical heads in our limb bones with a progressively lower layer of cartilage around the bone in the joint. Heavier and larger mammals tend to have less cartilage and more rounded heads on their limb bones than smaller ones, and that my friend has a limit.
I much prefer Baluchitherium (Beast of Baluchistan). For some reason "academics" appear to have a need to leave their "print" on magnificent animals by "renaming" them. The same can be demonstrated in the case of "Dunkleosteus", better known as Dinichthys (Terror fish) in the not too distant past.
My favourite animal,very comprehensive study.i think it is known why they didn't exceed a maximum size,and why diplodockus did,it relates too how big/powerfull the heart is in relation to available oxygen and and height of full extension of neck,the longer the neck when extended up(girraff/diplodockus)the stronger the heart had to be ,like large pumps in skyscrapers fighting Newton of pressure.apparently the oxygen levels were much greater during the cretaciouse/jurrassic,and maybe the earth was slightly smaller with less gravity,this was different to the period you discussed,and again different to gravity/oxygen levels of now.
I truly appreciate when you are stating the measurements you also say how many feet long it is! It helps idiots like me to understand 🤣. This animal is one my favourites because of the sheer size of the thing.

Just had this question pop in my mind a few minutes ago; We have often imagine most if not all dinosaurs in the past as scaly lizards, with at least some logical explanation to their massive structure and some excellent finds. But are most dinosaurs actually all scaly? I'm assuming this based on several things that might not have been covered in much detail, or recorded as such; - diet stored calories, ie. how much would these dinosaurs put on to survive according to estimated environmental factors - environmental factors, such as lush jungle vegetation influencing the external features of some dinosaurs - seasonal migration, for example, with such a massive build, would these dinosaurs need to migrate long distances with changing climates/seasons, and to what degree would such changes affect the external features (warmer climate changes, more dermal surface to keep cool, like an elephant?) Would dinosaurs have looked similar to the illustration of them now if we considered these factors? A stockier, rounder T-rex perhaps?
Great video by the way it is possible to recreate giraffe-like giant rhinos by altering the DNA of modern rhinos to make them look like their extinct versions these are chances of doing that?
What is the name of the last song (before the end credits music)? It starts about 11:20 . I couldn't concentrate on what you were saying because it was tickling the back of my brain trying to remember where I had heard it before. 😄
Paraceratherium is the largest extinct mammal in the world. They are bigger than the extinct Chalicotheres, Giant Ground Sloths and modern giraffes. They are closely related to the modern white rhinoceros.
So as far as evolution goes, how does it occur that an evolving animal that came from the same species develop reproductive exclusivity? We can see that there are modern day animal hybrids, but they are not able to reproduce, did the exclusivity develop in more modern times? Would not the ability to reproduce across closely species be a powerful evolution mechanism and greater survivability?
Okay something that I realized watching this video. If both dinos and mammals were small after the asteroid why did the second group overtake the first. Are there examples where this is not the case?
I think that Paraentelodons would have been big enough to be a significant threat to juvenile paraceratheriums, particularly if they didn't use to live in herds like elephants but just with their solitary mothers like modern rhinos.
