The Only Time In History That Water Was Safer Than Land

The Permian as a whole is an extremely underrated period. There are so many unique and unknown species that lived during it. For example: -Suminia: Basically, a Permian monkey. What’s not to love? -Anteosaurus: The Permian’s most dangerous land predator, a massive carnivorous synapsid. -Jonkeria: “I like em big, I like em chunky!” The largest Permian land animal, an absolute unit. -Prionosuchus: Possibly the largest amphibian to ever exist. -Cotylorhynchus: A big synapsid with a comically small head. “Who you callin’ pinhead?” -Weigeltisaurus: One of the earliest examples of gliding and the first gliding reptile. It’s only surpassed by the Cambrian and Triassic in pure weirdness…

[@southeasternlover]

The Permian is definitely an underrated period in Time.

[@StuffandThings_]

The Devonian is super underrated too. The sorts of forests that were developing in those early days must have been absolutely trippy to wander through.

Interestingly enough, the great Permian Extinction lasted for such a long time (200.000 years) that the species that suffered it most probably didn't realize what was happening. Thousands upon thousands of generations of animals and plants were born and died during that period. Some probably even thrived, and changes ocurred without much disturbance. Only, things were gradually and very slowly getting worse, the habitats becoming scarcer, competition more fierce... until the last 20.000 years when most of the extinctions happened. But even then it would've been extremely slow and relatively uneventful. Human civilization is less than 7000 years old, written history is 5000 years old. It's like having an ancestor from a milennia ago writing how the desert that's near your home used to be a forest, that the people back then were slightly taller and they used to have a slightly longer lifespan. By comparison, I'd bet the extinction from the Cretacic was way more sudden and traumatic, even if the long term harm wasn't nearly as large.

September 23, 2024 - This video is about one of my most favorite Nature subjects. While the rapid fire delivery of hard to remember species' names, can prove daunting. The narration and video scenes mesh nicely. I think the video's host does his best to explain a complicated topic to people unfamiliar with it. Well done, and I have subscribed to the channel. My thanks to the host of the channel.

I can’t help but imagine that the gorgonopsids had ears resembling those of hippopotamus. There’s something uncanny about these earless reconstructions. 🤔

[@CWCvilleCop]

Oh that's what they're missing! They always seemed a little off to me, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

[@icemanchambers1207]

[@simplypink8375]

i agree, though the earless reconstructions are coming from somewhere. the gorgonopsids, and therapsids in general, didnt have complex enough ears (inner) to warrant any sort of outer ears. i believe the first potential outer ears similar to mammalian ears were in the cynodonts from the triassic? maaaybe? check me on that, its probably not quite right. however the first ears are still pretty speculative and unagreed on, its a surprisingly contentious question.

Fossils are preserved because of specific circumstances. We truly have no clue what was in seas at that time.

[@darkstarr984]

The deep sea could’ve had so many horrifying things in it back then, and we really wouldn’t know by the sheer amount of deep sea sediments that just don’t exist anymore. We know what was in the shallow ocean very well, but again, just the areas that still exist.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Entirely possible that the reason why we don't have tons of bony sea beasts in this time period is because soft-bodied sea beasts were having a heyday

[@Abdul_rs_5208]

Same with land and yet we find beasts there but nothing in the ocean.

[@Gavolak]

@@Abdul_rs_5208water is extremely corrosive. Think oxidation and friction erosion. Air, on the other hand, is a lot less corrosive. Also consider that when considering soft bodied organisms like jellyfish, virtually 0 live on land. For aquatic life, bones tend to last long enough against water to become buried in sediment and fossilize. Soft bodied stuff would get swept away, eaten up, or simply deteriorate before it could ever become buried and fossilize.

It genuinely baffles just how we know ANY OF THIS happened with such confidence. Humanity has changed so much over the millennia’s and yet we know a lot about what came before the dinosaurs AND EVEN BEFORE THAT. It’s truly a shame just how much we could’ve known about Pre-history if not for the possible destruction of evidence through humanities stupidity.

[@Mis7erSeven]

It's because the laws of nature don't change over time. If you plant a tree seed and watch it for a few hours and even days, not much will happen. But if it's a seed from a species that can survive for a thousand years, you can know with confidence that this tree will continue to grow long after your own death (unless something kills it). Science allows you to look forward or backward in time on scales you could never experience in one lifetime or even 1000 lifetimes.

The fact that some of the critters you've described were thought to also be venomous, is a new consideration for me. That makes some of these beasts even more terrifying! It may turn out that similar to the Komodo Dragon, they were more bacteriological infectors than venom producers but all the same, that would certainly up their successful kill count.

Yeah... and they were a close sister-group to the more mammal-like cynodonts from which we directly descended, their body-plan would also echo through hundreds of millions of years through their surviving close relatives. So, though they lived a quarter of a billion years ago when this planet was very different, they are arguably more alive than the dinosaurs are.

You probably wouldn't get that many different responses than you would showing third world peasants today, tbh. Ranging from absolutely fascinated to not really buying the idea to "Neat... anyways...". Though the timescales presented would probably sound absolutely ludicrous to them. But they almost certainly wouldn't view it as a contrary view to their religion or worldview unless you specifically presented it as such. They really liked antediluvian lore and would probably consider this an interesting (even if wildly unfounded seeming) theory on the megafauna of those times.

The museum didnt have dinosaurs, but Permian animals! The other day i found my photo standing with them and the lady at the museum even showed me some fossils in the nearby stream.

The footage you used around 3:33 was of Brontoscorpio, a giant scorpion which lived during the Devonian and was a true scorpion and not a eurypterid. The name "sea scorpion" is a bit of a misnomer, as it is unclear whether eurypterids were closely related to arachnids, but they are thought to be chelicerates, a group that includes arachnids and horseshoe crabs.
