As I've commented on the version of this video that extends the list to 25 animals, none of these were ancestors of today's. They only shared common ancestors and hence are only extinct cousins. These giants all died out without leaving descendants.

Not sure what your question is? Modern day humans were said to have emerged around 200,000 years ago. There are many dating methods (radiometric dating/ relative dating) to date fossils over 1 billion years ago with uranium-lead/ potassium-argon dating. What’s a “zillion” years ago?

This is really good; shame you haven't gotten more views. I'm not sure about your humpback and sperm whale estimates - they seem a little too light to me, especially if considering maximum sizes - but everything else seems quite sound.
@rogueplanet65063 жыл бұрын
Thank you! And yes, it was surprisingly hard finding sources that had the same length/ weight for each of the animals. Some of them differed greatly and seemed like outliers. So for the sperm whale specifically I mentioned that it was the average length/ weight. I’m planning on doing one for sharks next and hopefully the figures on those are more consistent. Thanks for watching though!

The paleoloxodon namadicus was probably 25,000lbs. I don't think it was 40,000lbs, that sounds like an exaggeration. IMO

Subspecies is a taxonomic rank below species, if we were to name all subspecies of extant elephantids, it’d be a much longer list. Sub species are at least partially genetically different from its parent species (population likely going through speciation) but are still able to breed with the parent population making them fall under the umbrella of same species.

@@jmseipp no, forest elephants are separate species, just like lions and leopards are separate species of the same genus. Asian elephants don't belong in the same genus as them.

Also an African elephant is not 6 tons max bruh they can be up to 11 tons and in the guiness world records book (I'm not sure which year though)the biggest elephant then was bigger than a double decker bus/4.5 metres in height
@rogueplanet65064 жыл бұрын
This video isn’t about the max size or what size they could be, it’s about the average sizes. For the Paleoloxodon Namidicus, since all of its weights is based on estimates, the numbers vary from different sources so I tried to find which is the most common estimate for its average.

well, not exactly, thou it is possible... u rely on gaussian distribution - "they found fossils, they likely to be for an average size animal of the species...", but it is also most likely to found fossils of largest of the species, because larger bones have more chances to become fossilised.
