The Largest Sloth in History & Other Insanely Large Animals

[@vraelgorundr614]

Just a suggestion: Including diagrams or any sort of graphic that would compare the size of these animals to the average person would greatly improve the video.

[@tonyr3148]

I was about to ask the same thing. To me It doesn't seam like the proper word to use when referring to non-human animals.

[@notpulverman9660]

It helps us understand their extinction.

[@notpulverman9660]

When humans arrived in America circa 30,000 to 80,000 years ago, they were so annoyed by these vegan douchers, that they swore to extinct them, and they did. The end.

[@MoreEvilThenMe]

Because it's a more accurate term. Vegetarian implies plants in general whether involving humans or animals. Whereas humans have decided their herbivory should be called vegitarian/vegan/fruitarian/whatever other distinction you want for plants. Since people ARE animals and nothing technically lives off just herbs as opposed to vegetation, easy choice.

[@hallieissetfree]

You mentioned that the Megatherium (Giant Sloth) lived almost up to the present day. I looked it up and I found 10,500 BP was up to the point that it flourished with the last credible date being 10,000 BP. I just thought that was crazy as these giant creatures actually lived among humans at one point, in fact we may have part of the reason they went extinct (sorry buddies).

The largest one, Titanis, could easily knock your head off with a single blow, and its kick could snap a cow's femur in half. they could also hear at low frequencies, so you're a goner dude.

[@ghostiegoober108]

bowie brewster when breathed in it is used to help make ATP energy (this is why we need oxygen) , at that point it is released as CO2 (carbon dioxide), the running idea is that after a long time there were not enough plants converting that CO2 back into Oxygen, lowering it to levels slightly more like today.

[@LukasJampen]

Don't forget Oxygen can be bound in molecules other than co2. Just because it isn't in the air anymore doesn't mean it just stopped existing.

[@AngryDuck79]

Keep in mind that it's also a ratio, not an absolute amount. Increasing the amount of nitrogen or other gases in the air would change the ratio without having to take any oxygen out.

[@Niom_Music]

bowie brewster Maybe we just breath more oxygen (because theres more living creatures now) and on top of that more of other gases in our atmosphere

[@David-ud9ju]

Atmospheric gases are also stored in the sea, ice caps and rocks and stuff at differing amounts in history depending on the pH of the seas and how much ice there is and things. That's where it went. Oxygen atoms are still around, they're just locked away and not in the atmosphere anymore.

[@Player_Review]

Kristi Marie - Speaking with your body is generally a very good thing when properly used in conjunction with what you're saying and if you've always done it, then it likely is fluid and natural. This presenter for whatever reason just appears to be learning how to use those gestures and it ends up distracting for some viewers. For me, it doesn't matter since I'm mainly just audibly consuming the message, so she gets the job done. If you ever get into a debate class or any other area involving oratory skills where you're visible, they actually have to teach you how to do these gestures properly. It was very awkward when I implemented these teachings as I'd gone without doing so my whole life and I feel this is what I'm seeing on screen with this presenter. I'm glad they are giving these presenters opportunities to evolve and build their resumes though, so nothing against the presenter from me, just observation.

Clearly there is some truth there if so many people came to that conclusion on their. Most of them aren’t just “hating”. A lot of the comments are saying, “nothing against her, but the way she speaks and her hand movements are distracting and unpleasant for a job that requires you to do both of these things well.” It’s just what is. It’s not hatred. Or an unreasonably critique. A society based on equality is still allowed to have opinions on people and media. Are you here to censor this equal society?

6:52 - wouldn't an 18 metre shark just be a gigantotherm?
