Simple is best. What creature today use giant Frills or back plates to warm up )??? None do. It’s all for mating strength fear defense display .. they are soo sure these spines are not fold ‘able ?? Really 250myr old incomplete fossils. . Bahh they just don’t know.

The fact that we found reddish brown homotherium makes this retroactively so cool

In my local zoo, there was a harpy eagle. It was very powerful and intimidating to see, even more when it was eating

Bats flying closer than the people realize which would give an impression of being larger if thought to be further away. The fact that they describe leathery wings tells you that they were closer than the people realized.

I have an idea of permian survival horror game. Main rule in this game - if you kill some certain predators or creatures, it will f*ck up your evolution and genes of player character. You can cook clams or trilobites or some eurypterid scorpions, BUT if it's creature, which is not evolutionary dead end - your character transforming into a mindless monster faster. And, as it goes, you can't return to your present time. But, if you become a monster, why you still in this time and not erased? How do you manage to get there in a first place after time-alteration? That's main question and secret of the game.

YO IT’s A DINOSAUR DOLPHIN

it would be so cool to see a spec evo project with these guys. imagine whale-sized radiodonts wandering the oceans, while you have a few smaller terrestrial radiodonts the size of centipedes crawling on land.

But chevrotains are omnivores so simpsonotus had the same nitch 🦌

Love this channel

My opinion is the polar bear wearing the bowler hat....is most likely to be factual 😁

WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE?

I have a question: do Anomalocaris and trilobites have any modern relatives?

What if the only time when Anomalocaris eat trilobites when the trilobites gather together to shed their shells, like when spy crabs come together to molt their shells then along comes the string ray and ate a soft spy crab out of it's old shell, if you know what I'm thinking?

The moon amazing animal group! Complete aliens, reality is stranger than fiction

The Kamala Harris

What about the Radiodos? They always get left out

An AI image as thumbnail. That's disappointing

Did you just say believing that a Dinosaur species could be alive in the Congo is racist? 😂

6.7

wondering if there was a jellyfish period ? pre Cambrian?

The image starting at :33 is actually NOT depicting the Cambrian; it's the Middle Ordovician Castle Bank Lagerstatte. Anyway, great video, thanks

I once found a fossil radiodont. Been interested in them ever since

If there is an option for creators to block automatic translation: Please do it. I'm sick of pretending I'm from New Zealand to avoid that AI generated garbage.

Thank you for Radiodont video. 🤩

The fellas! I'd argue that Anomalocaris is the mascot of the Cambrian

Fuck yes, this is what I needed

Whats the music of these videos? I find it hauntingly evocative

Love this period of Earth history

I am a big fan of the Amplectobeluidae, with their appendages evolving into more claw like structures, and evolving very basic gnathobase (basically mouth plates, or jaws) structures to enhance their mouths. These were Radiodonts that were adapting many new and important features that might have carried them forward.

Had no idea radiodonts were so diverse and so persisent.... You mentioned Morroccan paleofauna... if you're doing more invertebrates, some of the amazing trilobites from there couldcertainly stand comment, e.g., "Walliserops trifurcatus"... one wonders if this one didn't lash out at prey like a "true" chameleon.

Whenever an Anomalocaris pulled up onto the scene, "Wake Me Up Inside" by Evanescence started playing.

Radiodonts are marvelous -- especially the late, filter-feeding ones. Whales before whales.

I am addicted to anomalocaris and was SO THRILLED to hear you were gonna cover them (you mentioned it at the end of your cold dinos video) and I was not disappointed! I have all sorts of nom-nom stuff, plushies, stickers, buttons/pins, and even a really neat print in my bathroom!! Thanks for a great upload!

Dilophosaurs next week. There are some of their footprints about an hour away from where I live, right in the side of the road, , though the footprint is called “eubrontes”

Happy happy Joy joy Dr. Polaris has posted!

I bet they tasted like lobster

They look like they would be good with some butter and lemon or lime.

Very nice. Looking forward to the Dilo video!

*WAKE ME UP INSIDE*

The cambrian and ordovician are by far my favourite periods. The Fauna was so fascinating

I like how radiodonts see representation in Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Pokémon has Anorith and it's evolution Armaldo, who are based off of Anomalocaris, while Yu-Gi-Oh has Paleozoic Anomalocaris and Paleozoic Cambroaster. The real world inspirations for fossil Pokémon would make for an interesting video, now that I think about it. I love how there's an actual pterosaur named Aerodactylus, so there's a pterosaur named after a Pokémon that's inspired by pterosaurs.

Did you hear that Canada? Australia now has the biggest radiodont. What are you gonna do??

Seeing you cover the Radiodonts makes me hope for an episode on the Eurypterids

always glad to see new uploads! 😊 dilophosaurus is also my fav dinosaur! 🦖

"Embracing Beast" sounds like a Bloodborne boss

It would be so cool to keep some of these creatures in a fish tank. I wonder if their bite would hurt, or be dangerous.

Nice episode. I was hoping that you would be looking into cryptids for the next episode. But still looking forward to the Dilophosaurus episode.

Cambrian - one of if not the most important eras. What was THE most important ??

I'm curious about how the filter feeders brought their catch into their mouths. Large filter feeders today swim forward catching small prey directly in their mouths, or else swim up through a shoal and use their baleen to squeeze the water out and keep the catch in their mouths. These radiodonts appear to have their filters hanging down, which would mean they'd have to bring their catch to their mouths. Did they pulsate these appendages similar to corals and tube worms, sweeping plankton into their mouths? Did they use suction to pull the plankton in, or did they have a tongue of some kind? They obviously filled a similar niche to large filter feeders of today, but their morphology suggests a different method of feeding.

When 2 meters long was gigantic size for animals.
