It only makes sense that good diggers would be good swimmers, after all, it's just locomotion through a dense field of a matter. It's such a clear correlation, but I would never have thought of it that way without this channel.

Fun fact, Turtles and tortoises have nerve endings in the shell. Its apart of the skeleton. that means they can feel you scratching them. And that means they can feel pain when damaged or miss cared for. So yeah, you can pet a turtle.

There is no comparison between the ribs of turtles and other animals. Turtle ribs are laterally expanded and don’t curve under the body. This configuration is unknown in every other animal. Bearded dragons still have normal shaped and spaced ribs and can change their shape, move and breath like most lizards.

@@stefanostokatlidis4861 it's kind of tricky to talk about because I'm not sure whether it's proper to define lateral and longitudinal in relation to the spine or to the rib. Relative to the rib, turtle ribs are laterally expanded but not longitudinally. Relative to the spine, Bearded Dragon ribs are laterally expanded but not longitudinally. But of course these identical descriptions are in a frame of reference opposed by 90 degrees.

Nazi Germany/Communist Russia and China founded by Evolutionists Marxists who believed they were the supreme race. If evolution was true we are not created equal by a creator merely a bundle of cells that has no true value. Matter of fact some of us would be lesser life forms diluting the "superior species" justifying Hitlers atrocities because if their is no God, there is no moral law. If there is no moral law, right and wrong is relative. So what they did would have been right in their own eyes. But it wasn't it was wrong. Evolution is built on a foundation of Death and lies. Seeing 2021 unfold you would think more people would be turning towards God and lots are. They have plenty of time to learn the truth wile they sit on their butts not working. But lots are willfully ignorant or chose to look for ideas suggesting that God isn't real because if would affect their life style and sexual mores. Christians love science because it has been used to prove Gods existence, don't need it to prove Gods existence but it helps the scoffers. We also haven't lied to support our theories on how the world was created. Would you like some information on why evolution is a lie?

It's also completely false. Most diggers aren't great swimmers - armadillos *can* swim, but only very short distances by gulping air to inflate its intestines to counter the weight of its bony plates. To call that a great swimmer is reaching. Most similarly sized animals do better, don't they? Armadillos also prefer to crawl underwater. Animals develop or lose the ability to swim depending on how useful it is or whether other abilities it has to give up for it are more useful, it seems. Naked mole-rats that live in dry chalky soil drown when thrown into water, whereas basalt-dwelling animals of the same species (sic!) living only a few meters, up to a few hundred meters away (sic!) away can swim. There's little to support the hypothesis that “good diggers are also good swimmers”.

Guessing about the nature of things is all we have without actual DNA, but that's no reason not to guess. If we are unable to understand something, guess-work is infinitely more valuable than not trying to understand it all.

The thing is turtles might be basal reptiles outside of saurians, so it wouldn't be more related to lepidosaurs or archosaurs. Depending on which method, turtles have been found either related more to lepidosaurs or archosaurs ,though more evidence leans towards archosaurs though turtles morphology matches more with lepidosaurs and some parareptiles (which could be a paraphyletic grouping, with some like mesosaurs and bolosaurs being basal sauropsids, and others pareiaosaurs being diapsids closely related to turtles)

Enantiornithids also developed beaks however in their case they were mostly made up by the premaxilla whereas in modern birds it's the maxilla which constitutes the main part.

Unfounded hypothesis: The shells from flattened bodies was because without flippers they used the current of the ocean to push them along like an underwater kite. And that is why and how Krush and Squirt and the other Rad Riders of the E.A.C evolved to use it so well.

2:40. Hold on... modern DNA studies suggest it is highly unlikely that turtles were anapsids? What DNA was compared? The reptiles in question were eliminated in the Great Dying, over 200 million years ago.
@caviramus0993
@caviramus0993 3 жыл бұрын
It's mostly out of DNA and anatomical mixture. The DNA evidence pinpoints turtles as being almost the branch with archosaurs, such close relationship would refute the anapsid hypothesis.

My call is that the whole beak and shell thing actually evolved multiple times. The ribs actually make more sense to me as terrestrial defense too- we've got lizards that will wedge themselves in rock and puff up so you can't get them, and salamanders (yes unrelated but convergence) that poke their own ribs out at you. That said, evolution is far from linear. The turtles we've got may just be the ones that survived extinction. I'd also think that tortoises will be their own thing that split off way earlier than we thought. Loggerheads I'm a lil more unsure about.

Awesome video as always. I would love to see a video on birds from the period just before to just after the kpg extinction event (couple of mya). I am very interested in what types there were before, why certain groups made it and how they radiated after the extinction. I know there are videos on this subject more focussing on certain species or families etc, but I would love to see sort of an overview.
