Idea for a future video: I recently started noticing AI generated images of reptiles in my Google image searches. At first glance, there's just something slightly uncanny about them. Then you start to notice the extra toes or backwards rear legs or slightly-too-small eyes. It would be super fun to watch Clint play Spot the Difference with a mix of real and AI generated images of various reptiles. Maybe even include some really bizzare/incorrect ones where Clint has to guess what species it was supposed to be. I think it would be a blast to watch and a great opportunity for talking about anatomy, kind of like the terrible Halloween skeletons.

[@corvid...]

Phylogeny has always been a fascinating topic that I dont think gets enough attention... and Clint does such a great job of making it accessible and extremely intriguing. The enthusiasm is contagious, and I love him for making continuing to make these videos. I cant wait for what is to come 😊

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

yeah and the mis conceptions about how it works are Is surprisingly wide spread like no joke at one point the top search on google fallowing "is Rhinoceros" was I kid you not "is Rhinoceros a Dinosaur" and that was incognito mode so it wasn't even something I searched and at the time I thought it was funny because it is but didn't think much of it untill in real life I was told with complete confidence that Rhinoceros was infact a Dinosaur because it was big armored and slow moving and it lived in herds like some Dinosaurs and because it was so similar how could it not be a Dinosaur like they had absolutely no idea that phylogeny is based on how Species are related and instead just based on animals being similar to eachother in appearance and behavior.

[@geroknittel9171]

I‘m not quite sure he’s the best source though. From my understanding (and from what’s on Wikipedia) lizards are a paraphyletic groups that don’t include snakes. Clint seems to ignore the concept of paraphyly.

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

@@geroknittel9171 that's because paraphyletic groups don't include all the descendants of a common ancestor like monofiletic groups do making monofiletic groups more useful for understanding how things are related to eachother as apposed to paraphyletic groups which don't include some organisms because they are often used when studying significant traits that led a subclade in an evolutionary divergent path from the more inclusive clade. and if your making videos about how things are related all of this clade, or that clade, your gonna use monofiletic groups. Because that system dosnt cut organisms out and includes all of the descendants from the common ancestor that defines said group so he uses monofiletic groupings because it includes all members of a group and dosnt cut any out making it most useful for this purpose and he some what often will mention how there are other ways to organize taxa that are different but considers clades the most useful at least for his purposes and i imagine you can look at it both ways depending on the goal but in a paraphyletic group at any given time your only seeing part of the larger monofiletic group that must exist for a paraphyletic group to be able to not include all the descendants they must be descendants in the first place so if you base it purely on relatedness than they are still part of that grouping (and I don't know this is just my personal take on it but I imagine that monofiletic groups make more sense by going purely off of how evolution goes along and dosnt cut anyone out as apposed to paraphyletic groups which don't include some organisms that if we where to look at in history with a time machine or something are related to eachother or direct descendants/ancestors of eachother but aren't included together it only makes sense when aiming to simplify but that's more human Compartmentalization than based on certain traits which is useful don't get me wrong but not technically truthful to say this animal isn't a lizard because it's not included in the group even though it is more closely related to other things that are definitely lizards than other things that are definitely lizards like iguanas your just cutting out the middle of a branch and leaving the end of it to float there awkwardly if that makes sense and that's useful if your just looking at material or traits of the remaining groups but saying the middle pice isn't part of the group wouldn’t technically be true from the perspective of how closely related they actuality are) I'm sorry this is like 2 pages long but I, well I don't know but I'm sorry it's long

[@geroknittel9171]

@@theperfectbotsteve4916 Here's my naive understanding from what I've read: " Fish" is a paraphyletic group that excludes tetrapoda. The corresponding monophyletic group including tetrapoda would be "vertebrata". So if you want to talk about a monophyletic group, use that term, but a statement like "humans are fish" would still be wrong. Similarly, "lizards" is a paraphyletic group by definition, therefore the sentence "snakes are lizards" would not be correct. If you want to talk about the group that includes both lizards and snakes, you would use the term "squamates" (which would also include the amphisbaenians). I understand that you might not like the concept of paraphyletic groups. However the terms "fish" and "lizards" still refer to paraphyletic groups. Why not use the monophyletic terms instead of trying to redefine existing terms for paraphyletic groups?

[@indyreno2933]

The correct english name for Lathanotus borneensis is actually "nagabatu".

[@indyreno2933]

Lathanotus borneensis is more correctly known as the "nagabatu" because it is not a monitor lizard, in fact, "nagabatu" is derived from a word in indonesian language that means "rock dragon".

[@billyr2904]

​@@indyreno2933 You could say that it is a 'false monitor', but to be false you have to look similar, but not closely related. False water cobras are not related to cobras, but the false gharial are the closest relatives to the gharial. Same thing with the 'false monitor', their closest relatives are the monitors. Because clint mentioned that earless monitors were originally classified as beaded lizards (but turn out to not be closely related to beaded lizards), I'm tempted to call them false beaded lizards. Do you like the name false beaded lizard?

[@indyreno2933]

@billyr2904, the monitor lizards (family Varanidae), beaded lizards (family Helodermatidae), and nagabatu (Lathanotus borneensis) are all classified together into the superfamily Varanoidea, with beaded lizards and monitor lizards actually being more closely related to each other than either is to the nagabatu, leaving the nagabatu as the most basal living member of the Varanoidea superfamily and the nagabatu having a family of its own, which is Lathanotidae, "nagabatu" is the most correct name for Lathanotus borneensis since calling it either a monitor lizard or beaded lizard would still be inaccurate, "nagabatu" seems correct enough, this new name is derived from an indoensian word that means "stone dragon".
