There's a reason why we think animals should be afraid from people and run in the modern day. The ones that were afraid of us and ran were the only ones to survive living with us for the last 300,000 years. There's probably tons of unique animals that went extinct before people thought to start recording things and were not in an environment to be preserved in the fossil record.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Falkland islands wolf was descended from a domesticated animal. It's plausible that the Falklands Island wolf was descended from domesticated animals, even if that theory is mostly disregarded since it separated from Dusicyon avus around the time of the last ice age. South American native tribes domesticated a native canid that's believed to have been the culpeo. DNA testing showed it was closer to the culpeo than the domestic dog, although it still wasn't a perfect match--which could lend some credence to the idea that it was a related species, but not the same. After all, domestic dogs are still genetically wolves. The South American tribes also had another, larger type of domestic dog that may or may not have been native. There were also ancient South American people who seem to have domesticated the fox-like canid Dusicyon avus, a relative of the Falklands island wolf within the same genus--and the Falklands islands wolf is believed to have descended from Dusicyon avus. If the larger South American domestic canid was Dusicyon avus, rather than a domestic dog descendant, it would have mapped well with the size of the Falklands island wolf.

[@evehellod9776]

Except if you don’t report it that area may very well be cut down or the animal hurt by unknowing people. Reporting is the only way to make sure they get protected and the help they need to stay alive. Not reporting is way worse, even though it might depend on the country. But it’s not the 17th century, most places try to protect their animals and plants that are endangered

[@alfredsupersauce]

Imagine a world where there’s a pair of islands full of friendly large wild canines. Ultimately this would probably end up badly as well since tourists would feed them, but it’s nice to imagine.

Humans really are just sadistic and evil… Like the fact that people saw animals that weren’t doing anything to them and thought “Hm, let’s kill the entire species!!” is actually so insane.

[@darth3911]

They didn’t think that as apparently for most of human history we didn’t understand the concept of extinction. We killed solely to maintain infinite growth without care to the environment. Only recently has that changed.

@@donquixote2072 Nigga im not dumb. The difference between an orca, or any other type of animal, and humans is that humans wipe out an entire species. Yes, both are hella sadistic, but humans are the only ones that have actively wiped out MULTIPLE species. Miss me with that condescending bs.

[@nckojita]

i swear, something about actively participating in colonization must make people want to kill everything that moves cos i really feel like most people would say it just feels wrong to kill an animal that comes up to them being all curious and friendly. like it’s really just bizarre that they kept doing this nonsense everywhere they went 😭

This is why animals today are all terrified of people; because we viciously eradicate anything friendly or dumb enough to get close.

[@darth3911]

Nah we also eradicated anything with taste for human flesh. When humans first debuted on the planet we wiped out most biodiversity solely because of that alone.

[@eoncatalyst]

Unpopular opinion: I'm glad that plastic exists because it saved so many species from being hunted to extinction. Plastic is also problematic, but at least a lot of stuff can be made with it what reduces the need for hunting.

[@sciencefliestothemoon2305]

Na, same goes for petrol. Stop gaps to better solutions. And in the meantime plenty of animals survived.

[@SoulDevoured]

It's also probably saved many plants from over harvesting and extinction too. Oil is perhaps the greatest natural resource we ever discovered. Now we just need to figure out more sustainable alternatives to it.

Dusicyon australis (the Falkland wolf) is genetically close to Dusicyon avus ("Burmeister fox") in argentina. One specimen was found burried together with a human in a grave (having shared the same diet, indicating a strong social bond) dated 2000 b.c. the province of Rio Negro, Argentinia more exactly "Loma de los muertos" in General Conesa. Dusicyon australis diverted only 16000 years ago from Dusicyon avus. A row of submarine terraces that became covered in ice, thereby forming islands could have lead Dusicyon australis, with or without humans, to the falkland islands.... RIP lovely, innocent beings.

Humans prove time and time again that as a species they aren’t the most intelligent but the least harmonious

[@andrewscoppetta4944]

Love your channels, love your videos, keep up the great work! I have a video suggestion… Based on what we know of brain size, behavior, etc. what animal was the most intelligent during each time period of animal evolution? Like, Anthropocene and Holocene would be humans, Cretaceous is maybe troodontids, Paleogene is probably some kind of bird, and so on (I’m out of order, but that’s just because this is about as far as I’ve thought this idea out lol) I thought up this idea watching your last video about extinct animals Native Americans encountered when you were talking about the smilodon being thought to be similar in intelligence to extant big cats. Since big cats evolved before humans, there might have been a time on earth when felines were more intelligent than the smartest primates. But then cetaceans have been around for a while and seem to have been similar throughout the years, so the first whales might have been in fact the most intelligent animals on the planet well before other the brains of mammal lineages developed to the levels that they are today. I hope that idea is as interesting to you as it as to me!
