The Complete History of the Earth Triassic Beasts: Giant Dicynodont

[@parabolae]

I’m happy to see you’re working on this series at your own pace while making other content you enjoy putting out.

[@GamersonicRyanBruno]

I prefer him going at his own pace than rushing it.

Tim Tim is such a good little sidekick. He adds some fun

[@hemberger91]

And a foil 😂

[@nv_spartan1771]

I love Timtim!

[@tonk5255]

a few years ago, when I was in the museum in Lisowice, I had the opportunity to see and touch the leg bone of Lisowicja, and after contact with paleontologists, I was able to look for the Smok bones in one of the places where it can be found.

[@2degucitas]

Smok? Ah yes. The dragon.

[@susansokoloski2233]

Lmao! TimTim's got you there, my friend! 😁

[@OsirisLord]

My favorite thing about TimTim is that he's gotten more sophisticated as he's evolved through the series. He barely had any personality as a cyanobacteria and now he's the channel mascot.

[@chrismaticwolf3780]

Excitement intensifying!!!! It's great to see you back, mate, and I hope everything is going better and your feeling in good shape ❤

[@k_schreibz]

It’s so crazy how the planet was ruled by naked mole rat looking things for a non-insignificant amount of time. Compared to ecosystems today, the Triassic would be a very strange place. I’d love to go back in time and make a Planet Earth style documentary about it.

[@Bionickpunk]

That we know of. Not all animals fossilized.

[@bkjeong4302]

The Triassic (especially the Late Triassic) was more the Age of Pseudosuchians, even though the dicynodonts did maintain a presence in herbivorous niches to the end.

[@bethanysmith5856]

Might want to check out pbs eons

[@martijn9568]

Since when do Elephants, Rhinoceros and hippopotamus look like naked mole rat looking things?

[@nicksievers1664]

I’ve been so bummed out this morning but this makes the whole day, thank you

[@LightBlueVans]

i hope your day continues to get better 💜

[@1stDragonlord]

Always great to see animals from Europe getting a spotlight. This collection of islands often gets overlooked in the discussion of prehistoric animals, so seeing this little highlight is a nice treat. Also showed how diverce the Europian islands truly were, since Lisowicia lived around the same time as Plateosaurus, which was not that far away in Germany.

[@robertstone9988]

Tim tim needs merchandise

[@mehodrums]

I’ve been workin on pitching that package!!! LOL

[@PrincessStinkbug]

Yeah, how about TimTim reminding us to "don't be an asshat".

[@GreenPoint_one]

Huh? he ever mentioned that? 😮

[@richardcrosswicks7058]

I want TimTim in a robe w/a book asking, 'Excuse me sir. Have you heard about the glory of the goo?'.

[@inboxmwj]

yes! 😍

[@kiyoshikusama4178]

Moar Timtim!! 😂 Seriously tho, great video and echoing a lot of folks, happy to see you doing content production the way you want

[@copperlocke]

I'm loving these videos about particular animals or groups. Also shared this with my friends who have family in Poland, because they don't usually get to see their country in videos like this, in something good and educational.

[@calebsmith2362]

I'd be a happy camper if you were to stay and never move out of the Triassic. It's the most fascinating period in earth's history, in my humble opinion. Not until, at least, you've covered the Loricatans in more excruciating detail. I can dream can't I?

[@poogissploogis]

I completely agree! So much cool diversity in this period that doesn't get enough love!

[@RVDinator]

Dude, just like fossils, you rock.

[@khublaklonk4480]

I've really enjoyed all your videos, and I'm particularly enjoying these Triassic period ones. It's a truly fascinating time, and one that's often brushed aside as little more than an overture to the story of the dinosaurs. For some reason this one really fascinated me. The story of the long sunset of the dicynodonts is one that you've given a gentle pathos, and even a quiet triumph as they help to usher in the age of giants. I've learned new things, and that's always a good day in my book. It's honestly quite emotional. You're a wonderful communicator.

[@StephenJohnson-jb7xe]

In my mind, this series is the palaeontological equivalent of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. A relatively complete guide to what we know about the subject so far. It's fascinating, educational, and well presented, I understand that it's a hard slog for you to keep creating it but I believe that it's something you can, and will be extremely proud of.

[@orzelgryf]

2:36 - I rarely burst out laughing at loud during you tube videos, but you got me :D

[@KacieRiley]

Was up all night watching the last video you posted and I woke up to see a new video, what a great day 😊

[@goinggray]

I am also very much enjoying the videos you have enjoyed making! The passion means more than the schedule!

[@mbvoelker8448]

You have just the right amount of Timtim. And these Triassic deep dives are great!

[@samuelspencer6016]

When it comes to topics covered I leave it up to you because everything you have covered since I found the channel has been interesting. I also want to thank you because your videos have both entertained me and made me want to start doing more searches about the topics covered as I deal with coming to terms with my disabilities.

[@LDSG_A_Team]

This was super enjoyable. I love these spotlights you do on specific creatures

[@Dedicatedfollower467]

what fascinating animals. do you ever just think about how incredibly cool and weird our planet is, that so many amazing animals have existed throughout it's history?

[@ThexSlothxKing]

this is so awesome, take as much time as you need for any project, it's just great to have you back.

[@jamesbeus598]

Honestly, this channel has increased my knowledge of Triassic animals by 100%. You can stay here for as long as you like good sir.

[@keithwright1621]

So good to have you producing content again.

[@planswalker]

Thank you for taking the time you need to both finish this video and take care of yourself. It was worth the wait for you to do things right. And by right, I don't just mean make an excellent quick video that is educational and well researched. I also mean sustainably and without (hopefully) damaging your mental health. Awesome science education content is not worth destroying the well-being of the amazing creator behind it. Take care of yourself

[@daniell1483]

What a tank! Looks so cool in reconstruction. Definitely got me interested in Smok, too! Never heard of it before but I'm feeling low-key obsessed now. Thanks for the video!

[@Msxallisonwonderland]

I never knew just how much I would fall in love with the science of paleontology, geology, and zoology. Learning about this history is beyond fascinating! One thing I learn the most in this particular type of video is that when one thing is absent in life, SOMETHING must fill the gap. If a large, apex predator is missing, something will need to fill in that space. In a lot of ways, you can see that even now in present day there's correlations to this concept. Thanks Paleo Analysis for the awesome work!

[@LightBlueVans]

so thrilled to see an upload from you! your channel is so underrated. this definitely just made my day. keep doing your thing, man. we’re here for you and whatever/whichever projects you choose to pursue ☺️

[@kaiserv88]

This is amazing, I love your content, I hope this message reach you. And some encouraging words in Dutch. ‘Ik wens je het allerbeste toe en bedankt voor het maken van deze prachtige videos!’

[@mjmal3741]

Awesome video! On the subject of Timtim, I think that the right amount of timtim is the amount that you feel like you want to include haha! Although I think it would be odd for him to dissappear from this series entirely

[@ktulurob]

I love what you make, please take your time and spare your sanity. This video is fantastic.

[@11Legorex]

I believe that covering some sort of Poposaurid would be best. Doesn't matter which one as they're very unique as a clade. Ctenosauriscids started being the first to dabble in bipedal carnivory, Shuvosaurids developed one of the first bipedal herbivore niches while also possibly reaching the maximum size of a bipedal herbivore (At least for a while), and Lotosaurus... Lotosaurus is just cool man. The clade in general can never get enough recognition in my eyes, and should absolutely be discussed either through one specific species or as a whole!

[@tellder1]

I had absolutely no idea about Lisowice and that early Triasic animals can be found in clades in Poland. I live ~7h drive from there. Now I will do my best to get there and visit the Lisowice museum of Paleontology. Thanks!

[@PaleoAnalysis]

*Late Triassic, but yep! 🙂 I would love to go see that museum someday!

[@yuccasoup]

im so glad you’re doing more stuff you enjoy rather than just what gets the most views, so so so happy to have you back, i missed your videos so much :,)

[@jencollins2407]

Now i didn't expect this on a random Saturday in the 18th week of January. 🎉🎉but i am loving the new diverse paleo videos im learning so much.

[@AManOfManyCats]

In these times it's always good to see a paleo analysis video ❤ Like it's good whenever but particularly comforting now

[@susansokoloski2233]

Yay! Good to know things are well enough for you to create again! Looking forward to this! ❤️🦕🦖

[@geenflauwidee]

I can't wait to see this when it comes out! Thank you so much!

[@LDSG_A_Team]

Lovely to see you on a Saturday morning, bro.

[@mikesnyder1788]

This is a video I will watch over and over again so thanks for the excellent content! Love me the Synapsids of the Triassic period!!!

[@Glassgothgirl]

I love the direction you're going in, stopping to smell the flowers of these eras. And it's great to have TimTim along too.

[@Donewithcounting]

This is one of my favorite time periods to learn about, because no one teaches it! I know next to nothing about the dawn of the dinosaurs, the first dinosaurs and I can’t wait for you to dive into this subject more!! As always, great content, thank you!

[@Mayorofas]

Video Idea: a breakdown of the differences between the stem mammals and the sauropsids living at the time

[@posticusmaximus1739]

Great video! Thanks for covering this. Lystrosaurus seems to be thrown around as a fun trivia fact: they were once the most abundant animal in all of history, then the "superior" archosaurs evolved and the Lystros all died, the end. When in reality Dicynodonts were the most common herbivores until the TJ extinction.

[@sgtclark0126]

That was an amazing video! Also, your music choice for your videos reminds me of the stuff that played in 90s and early 2000s paleo documentaries. I absolutely love it.

[@PaleoAnalysis]

I'll let my brother know you like his work! ❤️

[@MorbinNecrim86]

Excellent and awesome installment of the series!!! Be awesome to be able to see giant dicynodonts roaming around today, they look so cool

[@tanjredshirt]

Thank you for sharing your passion project with us all!

[@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster]

One suggestion for a group would be the Austrolimulidae which were a family of horseshoe crabs that got really strange in the triassic

[@LightBlueVans]

oooohhh!! i’d love to see that! that’s what i’ll be reading about today.

[@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster]

@@LightBlueVans I do hope to talk about it sometime when I make a video on horseshoe crabs

[@skitsfossil16]

Great video! Glad to see you back.

[@davidmilam2702]

Very interested in your videos about the periods before the dinosaurs ruled like the Triassic and Permian. These strange creatures are absolutely fascinating!!

[@theobozikis8225]

Thank you for another great video about one of my favourite periods of time! Go Tim-Tim Go!!!

[@idkahandle3086]

So glad to see you putting out the content you want to make at your own pace! Fantastic video! Can't wait for the next one but take all the time you need of course!

[@Em-Jayyy]

Great video and I'm glad you're back! With regards to ideas for future Triassic videos, please cover Arizonasaurus! Its a really unique archosaur and there's basically no videos talking about it in detail and I feel like you'd absolutely crush it

[@lizper]

this is exactly the kind of video I love to see between History of the Earth ep.

[@Redneckkratos]

2:35 I am proud to be one of the boys who wants more of our TimTim!!!!!

[@trebigsby5602]

Imagine time traveling and seeing what you think is an elephant from behind as this behemoth turns to face you.

[@FoxDragon]

Dang, that skull is impressive. Great video, I'm loving all of the new content!

[@michaelturner2806]

I remember catching your compilation of earlier videos a while ago and watching several times, I can't believe I didn't subscribe then. I fixed that. You've got a nice voice and explain things well, so it's not just this series I'm interested in, I'm sure your enthusiasm for other topics will make other videos pleasant to listen to as well.

[@AntoekneeDE]

Loved this piece, there’s too much to choose from when it comes to the Triassic, an insight into any species is welcome, whether we’re talking cynodonts, dicynodonts, ichthyosaurs, other aquatic diapsids, and perhaps the most criminally unrepresented groups, the croc-line archosaurs, I know we do cover them but it’s usually the most massive things that make the telly rather than for just how long some of these creatures were the most successful and dominant in the planet, and previewed the body plans their bird-line relatives would be most famous for

[@servit0r]

yay, one of my favorite series continues! thank you

[@GrayderFox]

This was nice after a long day of work. Man. I didn't know the Triassic had such neat dudes :D

[@GallowglassVT]

Glad to see more of this series. It'd be cool to get a deep dive (no pun intended) into what was going on in the oceans during the Triassic.

[@davidchapman4555]

❤ yay! I hope you can keep this mini series up! I like to here about the triassic weirdos.

[@robinblue9032]

You're just really awesome at this and so is TimTim. Thank you a billion :D

[@garmtpug]

Excellent video! It was informative and thought provoking. Thank you for your hard work!

[@sweettater9093]

I enjoy watching every one of your videos.I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was young, (also an astronaut, archeologist, veterinarian...) but as a 60 year old arthritic none will ever happen. I am ok with that as long as I can discover the mysteries of this planet through works of other like your self and the great artists you share. Thank you!

[@michaeleisenberg7867]

Topple. Sheer. Eat the entire thing. I love it, Steve! Thank you very much!

[@Lyrik00x]

Always love your videos when you talk about a lineage of species, like the history of the land crocs. What I would really love to see and learn more about in a similar format is cartilagnious fish; each 3 currently living groups (chimaeras especially, soo few chanels give them more attention than mentioning that they exist) and even the sidebranches that didnt make it but have been significant at a certain time in the history of life. Hope you find this idea worthwhile of the attention and care you always put into your work!

[@Smw006]

What an awesome video on this creature and it's environment!

[@MrDanAng1]

Yeah, another part in the series! Just keep em coming, I'd prefer with shorter intervals, but then again, any pace is better than none at all! 😉🥰

[@EwanCumia]

I'm very pleased to see this video. Next, I suggest covering Herrerasaurus.

[@ungraa2149]

I appreciate your work. You're among my favourite science educators/presenters.

[@nerfherder4284]

Perfect! Since you brought these creatures to my attention I've wanted to learn more about them 👍🏻

[@benparker2522]

great video as always, time to rewatch the smok one : )

[@SheeraAlaine]

Lisowicia! I had luck to see and touch the fossils :D

[@DaniTheET]

I'd love to see you cover Cymbospondylus in one of these! I'm glad that you're making more Triassic beasts videos, I really enjoy them :)

[@korvasterindar9672]

Oh come on, you can't deny that you love TimTim. After all, he has feets. :3

[@robertlewis8295]

But does he have toe beans? That is the truly important question. Even many spiders have toe beans.

[@avartar78g.4]

I love your videos, good job. I would love to see you talking in more details about Phytosaurs, i think they would deserved it.

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

I wanna know more about the Triassic mammals ngl so if we can talk in depth about em I’d love it

[@DiningPhilanderer]

Love your work, absolutely love it!!!

[@bayminx48]

great video!! so interesting to hear about these organisms
