Giant rhea mounts are a rad idea!

yeah they are intresting ! stuff like bees and silk moths are also lesser known domesticates that are very peculiar ! you also get animals like leeches and elephants who exist in a weird grey area ...

Geese are used to guard chickens and even some prisons in real life, so it make perfect sense.

[@verrdantwilds]

Always love to see a new domesticated animal unique to Kaimere, a goose being a prevalent guard animal in a world of magic and mezozoic predators is way more exciting than it sounds like it would be! Love your videos, keep up the good work!

Fact: based on my understanding, there has been at least 1 human fatality caused by waterfowl as was the case in 2012 when a man got attacked by a swan and drowned to death.

[@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster]

This was quite the Golden Egg, I love how even in these single species videos you put in the effort to illustrate some of their relatives

A funky domesticated animal, well suited for the specific needs of the setting, while being on the lower end of speculativeness as far as Kaimeran domesticates we've seen so far go. Gotta love the terror goose.

[@tec-jones5445]

What a wonderful surprise! The day before my birthday, one of my spirit animals/clades gets highlighted. Guard geese are not something I expected, but make perfect sense! Using their aggression for human benefit is such a genius idea. Here's hoping we get more of this series! I'd love to see/commission enantiornithine parrots in Kairul or remote islands if I get the funds to do so.

[@sambeaumont4337]

A welcome surprise! I'd assumed based on some of your tweets that you were doing a general episode on waterfowl of Kaimere. While I'm sure that would've made for a great episode (and I hope someone sponsors it at some point), giant guard geese were something I didn't expect at all but at the same time make perfect sense given the context. It was also nice to get a bit of a peek at the ecology of the Free-States. I think I remember you saying at some point that you were holding off on exploring that until you had adjacent areas more developed, so that was another welcome surprise.

[@juanleuschner7457]

Waterfowl that is cabable of causing actual damage in a level that goose or swan can't is suprisingly scary. No cafed skin or bruises here, we believe in broken bones in this house.

[@TalesofKaimere]

Absolutely. Geese and swans can do minor injury backed by a lot of posturing. These guys back it up with serious consequence

[@dudotolivier6363]

Nice video ! And good will go into a period of shorter ones, as it's summer and many will be busy with others things. Aside, yeah, birds as a whole, but especially geeses, swams and roosters may seem peacefull and inoffensive at first, but they can reveal thesmelves actually fatally dangerous and threatening beast better to not mess with ! In a unexpected strike which mark people for life. A reminder of the dinosaur's ancestry they have and which sleep inside of them, ready to wake up at any moment...

[@sivanlevi3867]

Once again, well delivered, Keenan. Kaimere sure has some weird domesticates among its populace. Can't wait to see what else you got! Cheers!

[@TalesofKaimere]

Thanks!!

[@samuellatu3123]

I love how Roman’s used geese and ducks as guard dogs 😂😂😂

[@NicholasDamtsis]

@TalesofKaimere I love your work and cannot wait to see more of this project. Your work has helped to inspire me to create my own spec evo project about an alien planet using the tips you gave in your tutorial video. I put a few dinosaur species and other prehistoric species on my planet that have evolved to survive on the planet. I thought about having them brought by a hyper advanced race but I had the idea that they were brought from magic that has been dormant since landing on the planet when the whispering door sent out magic colonies. When it suddenly and briefly reawakened it replicated life from either Cretaceous earth or red spring Kaimere. Thanks again for inspiring me to create my own spec evo project and keep doing what you’re doing. You are an inspiration to us all

[@deniszoo1841]

Hell yeah! Finally a series about pets in kaimere!

[@junotus198]

A most unprecedented sight!! A goose that can frighten even the ferocious leopard! The wide array of traits domesticated kaimeran creatures hold are unparalleled! How do you form ideas for creating creatures in niches? :00 i often find myself stuck, and take a good several weeks to have some semblance of an idea ahah! Nevertheless, for as fascinating as the domesticated geese of kaimere are, the tantalising video of the domesticated peccary looms in the horizon!

Well, I suppose that this goose is one very scary angry bird. No wonder it can fend off some of the predators there. Good luck with your third book. What's better than two books on Kaimere? Three books. What's better than three books? Four books! Wait a second, did you just foreshadow that in the Autumn we're going way beyond the known world? To the Crown? If it is true then... Well, better get ready to travel very far. See you next week and whenever you're available in between, and take care my friend. Good luck on your journey and please take care and enjoy the summer.

[@DeinoWolfhybridhero]

In northern Italy country places wasn't unusual in past times keep gooses as guard animals. My grandpa's friend had one! He said that it was better than a dog and better than a cat as rat killer

[@dynamoterror7077]

I only just noticed, those Qadanith jackalbirds are *big*. A result of now being one of the top predators I suppose?

[@TalesofKaimere]

Yes indeed! I haven't had an opportunity to draw all the jackalbird species, but on a lot of Khalin Islands they can get very large due to lacking competition.

[@TalesofKaimere]

Not near as large as indrakai of course but still. Very big compared to the small Pakardiant species.

I'm not sure. Would need to study a fair bit before confirming. My research stopped when these guys were harvested 12 mya so obviously didn't get to goose evolution

[@Reyma777]

What is the heaviest flying true bird in Kaimere ? The 50 pounds stated for the Horu is much heavier than real world Swans that tend to top off at 30 pounds.

[@TalesofKaimere]

Heaviest bird is the black teratorn. Similar to Argentavis they can get around 150 pounds

[@Reyma777]

Due to Kaimere being warmer than Earth, it has stronger updrafts allowing heavier fliers to be more viable? As on Earth today, the true giant flyers are no more.

I had a similar idea. Domestic goose used to guard ducks, quails and chicken from smaller predators such as foxes, stoats, Cats and marten. I was not crazy enough to make a fucking mini dinosaur of 100 pounds to guard children and fight leopard and wolves though the sheer power of rage. I LOVE the idea

I like domesticated birds, though the one that I like the most isnt nearly so fierce. Coturnix quail may be violent towards each other but at their size and not showing the same bloodlust towards other species they would make a terrible guard animal, especially since the #1 thing that kills captive quail is in fact rats. Quail also only live 2-4 years generally, its also alarming how remarkably good they are at finding a way to die because they will find it if its there.
