[@GatesOfAvalon1]

If Lystrocheirids hatch their young beneath corpses so they have something to eat when they are born, the young would be competing with other desert-dwelling scavengers for the corpses. To combat this, the Lystrocheirids might drag corpses they find into a breeding den, hiding the corpse from other scavengers after laying the eggs at the very back of the tunnel. This is similar to how mud dobbers stuff the mud tubes they form full of spider corpses so their young can eat them as they hatch.

[@sharondornhoff7563]

Or just kick a bunch of dirt over the carcass to obscure the stench and ensure their young don't get cooked along with the carrion in the sun.

A creature that evolves a sort of balloon-like organ to float? Now that's something worth researching, too bad I'm not in to biology so....

[@the11382]

@@johnkieth4537 There is a spider that uses electric currents and wind currents in order to fly. Yes, flying spiders exist. Balloon organ animals are probably more likely to evolve on planets with a denser atmosphere. That's my speculation.

[@wanderingwriter3958]

I mean it’s possible but it requires some specialized mechanisms. Key part would be getting a biological way to produce a lighter than air gas, and a place to store it and regulate its own buoyancy, either through storage of fluid that can be released, or a way to vent the gas. These three necessary mechanisms would be difficult for a creature like that to be possible. There is another problem with finding a way to deal with wind and finding food while in the sky since you will have to be in either a predatory position against other flying animals or descending down to feed upon things on the ground. This isn’t too much of an issue for heavier than air fliers but adding in wind can make it much harder for a balloon creature to control where it would go and strongly impact ability to move. It would conserve a LOT of energy needed for flight though it’s just a matter of would it be worth it for the downsides and whatever energy is needed to produce lift gas.

[@the11382]

Wandering Writer The only option for lift gas is hydrogen. It can even take advantage of this unique quirk by having the ability to explode. It would need a gas bag organ that can be inflated and deflated. Dealing with wind is simple. The organism inflates and deflates the balloon, similar to how hot air balloons use the wind. The organism would descend only to drink water and eat food.

Good point. I believe he did this so he could better generalize about each species rather than having a morphological or behavioral difference in both genders of his animals. Ignoring monogamy allows him to look at the species as if it were asexual, rather than having “mothers” and “fathers”. While this may seem bad (as he is omitting vital information), it’s a practical way of getting things done quicker. If there are no differences in the genders, he can save time by only talking about the species from a wider view, rather than on a gender based view for each species. Besides, Biblaridion is someone who looks like he’s done his research, so he’s had to have seen that as a possible answer to the problem and rejected the solution for whatever reason.

[@xvor_tex8577]

The Cornfield there’s countless numbers of ways for life to evolve it’s impossible for him to mention all of them, I would like you to do something like that and see your ego plummet when you realize how hard it is, plus he made it just for entertainment this isn’t a real scientific study it’s purely for entertainment so getting one factor wrong doesn’t mean it deserves to give the whole video a dislike

[@iout]

@The Cornfield He's said before that these videos don't necessarily cover individual species of his fictional biosphere, more so that they're general groups or blueprints of which there may be many species within. Knowing that, I assume he's sticking to morphology because those are much broader changes that encapsulate a wider range of species. Correct me if I'm wrong about that; ecology and biology as a whole is far from my strongest subject. But continuing from that, I would assume that that also means he's not overly concerned with going too far into radiation, because doing so would be too specific and bog down the general scope of things.

While looking up matrotrophy and other gestation behaviors I came across one of the strangest creatures I have ever heard of: the gastric-brooding frog. Apparently before the 1980's there were *two* species of frogs in Queensland that ingested their own eggs and incubated them in their stomachs. Their eggs and tadpoles were covered in a hormone which suppresses production of acid in their mother's stomach, but half of the eggs the mother frog lays never develop into tadpoles meaning she either never eats them or they are digested before her stomach is shut down completely. Once the eggs develop into tadpoles the mother frog gives birth by vomiting them up one at a time over the course of a week, or all at once if she is in danger.

[@JontyLevine]

Interesting to see how many of these organisms take similar evolutionary steps to life on our own planet - with the evolution of fur, live births, and two forward-facing eyes. Animal pollination is worth a mention as well. Really makes you understand how the evolution of certain traits on our own planet was not simply random, but to a certain extent inevitable.

[@afkfromawake]

Primative feathers too

[@NavidIsANoob]

I've learned so much about evolution watching this series. It's crazy how many of the same traits have evolved independently from each other. Makes you realize that life too has to abide to the same universal rules.

[@Lumberjack_king]

Yes

[@SecularMentat]

Not a huge surprise. I think he's using convergent evolution as an example to allow it to happen. Though it might not be Keratin that does hair and scales, it might be some other sulfur rich like protein that does the trick on his crazy world.

[@Gunth0r]

A suggestion to make your model work: If the East and West regions of the continent have "rain shadow", that means atmospheric circulation carries humidity inward on both sides, so the circulation would need to escape the continent in the north and/or southern parts of the continent. This would either mean those currents lose humidity while travelling inland, consequently diverting and carrying hot desert air north/south (colliding near the coast with colder currents and creating tropical / humid regions (high pressure areas, year round rainfall or close to it), or there would be no desert formation in the first place in those regions (making deserts more likely to form in the corners, in the form of steppes / tanga). Just a few notes. In any case, the atmospheric circulation needs work to fit your current model.

[@nvfury13]

The barrier mountain regions on the map that cover the east and west coast make that an unworkable model. The weather circulation has always been north-south when the land environment is covered because of that.

I was thinking. With the constantly depleting atmospheric H2S, the “plants would be at risk of going extinct even with proliferating sulfur reduction bacteria. Then I thought about how cows produce copious amounts of methane as waste byproducts almost to the point of contributing to climate change when factory farmed (which is so sad btw). What if, to deal with the excess waste sulfur produced by the plants, the herbivores of this world evolved a symbiotic relationship with the sulfur reducing bacteria similar to how we have our own gut biome. The excess H2S would be released through flatulence or some other way. I know it’s childish to talk about but farts evolved for a reason. Also, this may be how they consume such acidic water that would cover the planet. Sorry posting this a third time.

Just a point on the cows, methane produced by them is actually a major contributor to climate change, to the point where they are the agricultural industry's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. I think globally the agriculture industry accounts for around 20% of greenhouse gas emissions.

There are sulfur mining operations around volcanos, it is difficult and dangerous since humans are not built to process sulfur. But these animals would find such a place a to be really good. High sulfur in the air would imply even higher amounts of sulfur in the ground.

The camel is actually incredibly interesting, as it likely attained its large body size due to an abundance of food (which it was exclusively able to consume) in its original habitat, the american south west, before it migrated and successfully colonized other desert regions.

The camel hump is also interesting, as it likely evolved as an adaptation to very cold, rather than very dry, climates: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel#Evolution

There are several species of non-avian dinosaurs that are believed to have lived in temperate and polar clinates, Like Nanuqsaurus, Yutyrannus and possibly (most likely not) Cryolophosaurus. Nanuqsaurus and Yutyrannus both survived the cold primarily through their feathers. But in a group of creatures without fur or feathers of any kind would that still be possible?
