The ugliest dinosaur you could come across...

[@hollylogue494]

The cold-blooded/warm-blooded explanation at the end was super fascinating! Thank you for taking the time to explain that!

[@loraweems8712]

A note about the teeth, and a comparison to peccaries. This animal is also called a javelina. The javelina uses the canine tusks not only to dig roots; they are also used for protecting themselves and their progeny, and also the males fight each other during rutting season. So this Dino may have used those tusks for protection and for fighting as well.

[@hollylogue494]

@@loraweems8712 They also remind me of Chinese Water Deer tusks.

[@loraweems8712]

@hollylogue494 true. Water deer, musk deer, and Muntjack have tusks. However, on javelina both the top and bottom canines are sharp. (Plus, the narrator mentioned javelina/peccaries specifically)

Was going to remark on enzyme optimal temperature ranges, but you covered that near the end of the answer to that question.

[@Alberad08]

Yes, it had to be that! Meanig, enzymes are catalyst, some of which might provide that amount of oxidation, meaning turning fuel (food or fat reserves) into energy, which those extremely athletic cold water animals like salmon then have available for going up stream against fast water - being thus cold in early spring that it sometimes still would start to freeze if it weren't for all that steaming movement.

[@AncientWildTV]

@@Alberad08 How do the specific enzymatic adaptations in cold-water animals like salmon contribute to their ability to perform intense physical activities?

[@Alberad08]

@@AncientWildTV Just think of enzymes as catalists.

Just want to make a correction here. You say that Latin lovers would have figured out that heterodontosaur means different toothed reptile. That's Greek though, not latin. Heteros (other) and odous (tooth).

Your dry sense of humour always makes these videos a treat. Anything can be an interesting subject if its taught well, and that also goes the opposite way. Theres nothing better than an interesting topic delivered in an interesting way, and you always manage that, good job!

[@latheofheaven1017]

Hey! Waddayaknow? I got my question picked! Thanks for the correction Dino-Gen. Ectothermic. Got it. I think I follow your careful reply, but it still leaves me wondering why, if it's possible for ectothermic animals to be very active in 'cold' conditions, (as fish can be), why it is never found in land-based ectotherms. Just the luck of the mutation draw? Going to watch again to see what I missed. 😉

[@oshkeet]

I think its the "Water" part that's the biggest deal. Water resists -changes- in temperature way better than air, so it might be easier for an animal to evolve something in the more stable (not necessarily optimal) environment that one that changes all the time. Prolly wrong tho.

[@SubbyHuskyV]

Hahahahaaa the annoying little bastard, I remember these all stealing my stuff in Ark 😂😂

[@SubbyHuskyV]

I gotta say though I don’t think their ugly, their beautiful in their own annoying way 😂❤

[@amielangeles9558]

1) I was the one who requested a Michael Caine and I have yet to hear it. What gives? 2) Why don't scientists give dinosaurs common names? Why do we always refer to dinosaurs by their binomial nomenclature (correct usage?). Nobody goes around calling them Panthera Leo or Cyanocitta cristata. So why not something like the Two-fingered Bitey, or Horned Chonker?

[@Eloraurora]

We do have a few common names for extinct animals, but they're mostly scientific names that became popular before the animal got reclassified. Or a translation of the Latin name, like Urvogel.

[@RaelNikolaidis]

[@napalmholocaust9093]

Fish have several different proteins that enable body processes to function at low temperatures like 35⁰f. Its also why they rot faster in the fridge than red meat, you're keeping it at elevated temperatures in there. That's why fish is iced. The vid on why fish goes bad faster explains it, I'm just paraphrasing.

[@cedley1969]

Surely the ultimate efficiency would be an animal that could use thermoregulation as required on a daily basis. High speed hibernation.

[@MrMalvolio29]

Animals are neither “ugly” nor “beautiful;” they reflect their survival strategies and adaptations with their appearance. Your video is annoyingly anti-intellectual.

[@aliahope-wilson4449]

Finding things ugly or cute is an evolutionary survival strategy for humans. We find certain features adorable and it triggers a nurture and protect response. Conversely, finding something ugly is a response to potential danger. Those are healthy and normal responses. Having said that, I think Dino Gen is just being humorous. Humour and science are not mutually exclusive.

[@opabinnier]

I am extremely intellectual and yet I was totally unannoyed. Isn't that odd? Perhaps you are insufficiently intellectual? Or maybe just chill out.
