I will always appreciate “Walking with Beasts” for introducing me to this creature

[@germanomagnone]

Nice! I love the "walking with..." Trilogy ❤

[@aidangilman9190]

For me, it was ark survival evolved

[@ashenfox7615]

For me, it was a National Geographic's documentary called "The Walking Whale".

[@furatceylan8]

just some constructive feedback: please, for the love of god, don´t make the background sound / imagined extinct whale sounds louder than the narration - or better yet: don´t mix narration with the sounds you want us to hear, so we can concentrate on one important thing at a time. nice video, I love learning about extinct whales and generally nature. keep up the good work!

[@dragodracon7785]

I honestly love Basilosaurus. I had an exam in Biology and I used Basilosaurus and it’s ancestors as a way to answer a question on it. Got a B! Thanks Mr.King Lizard Whale!

[@HorriblePaleoartist]

a B? Seriously?

Ah , Basilosaurus. My beloved Hotdog Whale.

#basilosaurus I know the video has started yet but I just KNOW I KNOW it's gonna be worth it cause I like PK and I really love basilosaurus

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

It’s still annoying that they can’t rename Basilosaurus to Basilocetus, King Whale is so much more fitting & accurate.

[@awesomeproductions7755]

Sweet work on the designs, dude! Really hoping we get to see Basilosaurus in a park builder at some point, whether it's Jurassic World Evolution 3, Prehistoric Kingdom or something else. Been in love with this creature ever since watching Walking with Beasts as a kid. Moeritherium sure looks different, though. I take it there was some groundbreaking discovery that drastically changed our understanding of it since Walking with Beasts?

[@utsavwhysytsobadrecently]

#basilosaurus the great noodle

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

I really hope that there'll be an official Walking with Beasts Documentary remake after the upcoming Walking with Dinosaurs remake. Episode 2 "Whale Killer" will always be my favorite.

[@luukzilla1519]

I remember doing a presentation about Basilosaurus in School

[@Ons_TV]

Such a amazingly made video

[@3452te]

My #1 favorite prehistoric animal. I love the basilosaurs due too them being so similar to mosasaurs, dubbing them the Serpent whales.

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

The Basilosaurus reminds me of the Mosasaurus Genus. Convergent Evolution will never go away.

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

I bet the ancestors of whales returned back to the ocean to escape the giant prehistoric snakes that terrorized what is now Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

It's hard to believe that it took twenty five million years for the niche left by the largest Marine Organisms at the end of the Cretaceous to be refilled.

[@tomp.6734]

#basilosaurus What an amazing video by the way !! Now I feel like I have to watch Walking with beasts again 🤩

[@godzillakingofthemonsters5812]

So the hunting scenes in WWB aren't entirely accurate, but not terrible either I assume? The Basilosaurus mom used speed but seemingly in short bursts.

[@timothyserabian5103]

I LOVE this series you do. The effort comes through in every frame. Thank you. Please keep them going! And thank you for clearing up Zeuglodon! I never realized it was synonymous with Basilisaurus!

[@NaturesCompendium]

Why thank you! This was definitely one of my favorite videos to work on and I'm pretty happy with the final result!

After this, please do “How Scientifically Accurate is the Jurassic Park Ceratosaurus?”

[@notoriousbigmoai1125]

Since this creature was not a marine reptile (as the first paleontologist who discovered it thought so), I would rename it Basilocetus.

[@MatejBeranek]

honestly a 30 meter long sea serpant would have been sick! altough whale basilosaurus is also very cool.

[@JasonBezemer]

This was certainly pretty interesting. Hats off to you!

As awesome as Basilosaurus is, it's also cool learning about its relative Dorudon and how the latter was able to dive into deeper parts of the ocean. All of the animations here are great, too!

[@NaturesCompendium]

Thank you! Glad you like the animations!

[@alexanderross8462]

Great video! only nitpick is putting a mid video sponsorship in a video thats supposed to be educational, but at least you made it a chapter that can be easily skipped which is very considerate :3

[@NaturesCompendium]

Glad you enjoyed it! Now for a bit of transparency: The ad placement was at the discretion of the sponsorship, so I tried my best to at least integrate in a way where watching it was still somewhat entertaining and didn't interupt the flow too much of the video, and of course adding it as a chapter for the option to skip. I don't do mid roll ads in my video and that does impact how much I can make from ad revenue, so sponsorships are very crucial in helping to fund bigger projects. This particular sponsorship will help me fund my upcoming Carnotaurus video, along with the generous donations from my Patreon supporters who have helped keep my channel afloat since 2021 thanks to providing the funds I need to keep my software subscriptions. One day, I'd like to be at a point where I can do this full time and I have enough funding from Patreon plus ad revenue to do so, but I'm far from that point as of now... Non-aquatic animal videos, especially dinosaurs, are the most expensive projects to produce in general. Hence why the majority of my animated content cover aquatic creatures since I keep the costs for those projects a little lower. Hope that clears things up a bit.

[@mathiasgreyjoy1611]

#Basilosaurus! I really enjoy this channel, keep up the good work!

[@NaturesCompendium]

Let's go, yet another banger paleo video. I always wondered when this animal would be covered here

[@NaturesCompendium]

Thank you so much! Basilosaurus has been featured in two videos before and received a redesign in the Perucetus video, so that was when I knew I had to cover this awesome animal. Hopefully I did both species a justice :D
