Early Sirenians

This video will be the last episode detailing the evolution of Sirenians (Which is the order containing Dugongs and Manatees (Colloquially known as Sea Cows (Which is a misleading name (As Sirenians and cows are not even near related)))).
Please enjoy the video. Like, subscribe, and comment (Please comment on the actual video's facts, and maybe the editing, not my voice, lack of a microphone, and poor editing). Thank you.
The reason some of the editing was unfinished, is because of this being a project that was cut short, and rushed. Sorry for that. Hopefully soon I'll have more free time.

WOOOOOO NEW J VID

[@anniecampbell3170]

u always cover topic that i struggle to find video content about here on youtube, you’re very quickly becoming one of my top paleo content channels!!!!

[@ThroughTheEyeOfJ]

Finally, actually nice comments. Everyone else isn't even commenting on the video, just the editing.

[@Cody38Super]

Please get a mic little buddy, and a decongestant...the content will get better ! Keep it up, and keep trying!

Great video by the way it is possible to clone the ancestors of manatees through genetic manipulation,reversing the evolution of their dna to shape their ancestors such as the pezosiren to recreate extinct animals with the help of genetic engineering,but it is possible or impossible depending on the ethics of the resurrect prehistoric animals?

www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04421-w. This is a study I've linked. The oldest DNA is around 2 million years old, and DNA usually completely degrades after 6.8 million years according to Colossal Bioscience. Pezosiren's DNA is long lost to time. Also, we have so few remains, and no members of it's family remaining. So, while it would be cool, Pezosiren will likely never be resurrected. Thanks for asking

Seals, sea lions and walruses come back on land. Manatees and dugongs live their entire lives in the sea. How did the more amphibious ones become so much better equipped for their life in the sea?

To be fair, Pinnipeds haven't been around as long as Manatees and Dugongs, of the order Sirenia, and they haven't had enough time to fully adapt to the ocean. Also, some Sirenians, like .manatees don't exclusively live in the Ocean. Some live in the Amazon River Basin, and in the Congo River. I understand though.

It has nothing to do with time. It's diet and predation. Sirenians are "grazers", pinnipeds are active predators. Manatees spend their time in brackish and fresh water away from most large Shark species and don't have to worry about bears in the arctic. Pinnipeds dive to great depths in search of squid and fish, sirens are shallow water only. Look at an animal and it will tell you what it does for a living, it's very simple. Dugong and manatee lifestyles don't necessitate great dexterity and agility to operate in their daily lives, ergo not as "dynamic" in their realm. I've seen a dugong get the shit scared out of him in person....they can put a move when need be, I promise you! Not like a sea lion evading a white level, but getting gone none the less!
