Prehistoric Breakdown: Placerias

Many different groups of reptiles ruled during the Triassic, not just the dinosaurs. In the later part of this era lived a slow but powerful herbivore, Placerias.
Today we breakdown one of the stars of Walking with Dinosaurs first episode.

Placerias a cool beast from the Triassic

[@anthonybusch4407]

An endangered species of Old-School Reptile from the Triassic as well.

[@evodolka]

seeing Placerias afer all these years is like seeing an old friend to me, i missed this guy

[@11Legorex]

Wouldn’t be a triassic raptor rex vid without a vanclevea being flung into the air

[@enzoleonardo2197]

The Triassic is super interesting

[@sciencenerd7639]

great video, thanks

[@jordanapgar8907]

I’m Voting For Alamosaurus To Be The Next Dinosaur In The Next Video On KZbin!!!

[@user-ds8no1ro2q]

I love the placerias. Round, slow moving, herbivorous. They must have been a thrill to see so long as one did not enter their safe space. So wonderful to watch not like the killers which would love to tear you appart and eat the pieces.

[@PlaceriasIF]

My time has come (Thanks Bro!!!!)

[@soudino2723]

Dicynodontia would have probably survived for a while longer but might get outcompeted by other megafauna(similar to how stegosaurs got out competed by more efficient fauna)

[@HorriblePaleoartist]

At least Their cousins (The Ankylosaurs) Thrived During The Creataceous

[@GenghisDon1970]

of course they'd have kept going. Removing any mass extinction event would render all futures unrecognizable/alter them completely

[@MarshalMarrs-eu9yh]

Saurosuchus is from South America, placerias had postosuchus to worry about.

[@jaredthehawk3870]

And Vivaron

[@MarshalMarrs-eu9yh]

@@jaredthehawk3870 what’s Vivarion?

[@qwellen7521]

*Certified dicynodont posting*

[@kadenbowdige2896]

[@wolfsavage7647]

Oh how about a Dilophosaurus video Or maybe Achisaurus

[@user-pv3xc7hj5b]

Пусть в следующие видео будет о пареозаврах

[@vladline1882]

Go far east and see Liso the gigantic version.

[@lordcrusheryt]

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

Next Creature ????- "The (non) Great American Hippie, and how it's (De) evolved"

[@GenghisDon1970]

how about Pterodactylus?

[@jonathanvarney2876]

Dilophosaur

[@jaredthehawk3870]

One major gripe here. You selected the wrong predator. The Prestosuchid Saurosuchus was native to South America and would not have encountered Placerias or Vancleavia. The correct predator would have been either the Rauisuchids Postosuchus or Vivaron the former of which has been confirmed to have frequently preyed on Placerias.
