TRILOGY OF LIFE - Walking with Monsters & Prehistoric Park - "Arthropleura"

[@Lukiethewesly13]

My sister would Cry if she saw An Arthropleura Today... Seriously, that is just terrifying. In A Good Way

[@ethant7515]

Lukiethewesly13 it’s actually a vegetarian. So really it’s more like a tortoise than a centipede

[@davidstuber8198]

But the jaws are still very strong. If you got that thing annoyed it would bite you harder than any terrifying beast. It is the size of a car, anyway

[@ianoliver2224]

As a kid, I thought these were the grossest things to ever exist. As a teenager, I think this is one of the coolest god damn things to ever exist.

[@girlgarde]

Arthropleura's quite an impressive creature, isn't it? It's a shame that they're extinct. I imagine that they'd do well in a jungle, rainforest or swamp if they were around today and could somehow adapt to the lower levels of oxygen found in today's atmosphere.

[@riamus7258]

They possibly could, but in order to do that, they'd have to abandon their primitive breathing method in exchange for say, something like a convergently evolved lung system.

[@girlgarde]

How DID they breathe anyway? By absorbing oxygen through their armour? I'm no scientist so how is a breathing system designed to maximize the amount of oxygen absorbed into the body inferior to having lungs that allow the organism to breathe in and out?

[@riamus7258]

There are these tiny holes in each segment of the body called spiracles through which they absorb oxygen. www.esras.co.uk/millipede/99.jpg Since oxygen levels were higher during the Carboniferous, there was a much larger intake of oxygen causing them to harvest enough energy to grow this large. But they couldn't grow larger than this. This is pretty much maximum size for them. In order to get bigger you'd have to evolve a system that can harvest oxygen more rapidly than in arthropods, and that is in vertabrates. Gills and lungs are far superior to the breathing system of arthropods. With lungs, we can force air in and out, while arthropods can't. Exceptions being those kinds of arthropods that have/had gills. Like brontoscorpio.

[@OmegaPictures318]

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

The Arthropleuras from Walking with Monsters & Prehistoric Park appear to be designed by the same model, But their Colors appear to have changed in a few years. Well, the same creators made some changes to the patterns since the last few years.

[@GusTheProceratosaur]

Arthropleura is a genus of extinct millipede arthropods that lived in what is now northeastern North America and Scotland around 315 to 299 million years ago, during the late Carboniferous Period. The larger species of the genus are the largest known land invertebrates of all time, and would have had few, if any, predators.

[@girlgarde]

Except of course for the giant amphibian and its kind in this video but even they would've have a tough time against an Arthropleura unless they got lucky.

[@GusTheProceratosaur]

Unless it gets splint.

[@georgebendall7401]

Arthropleura wasn't just in Walking With Monsters but he was also in the 5th Prehistoric Park episode Bug House

[@bencemolnar4246]

Arthropleura ○ -|- \\ /\ |•|||||||||||||||||||||||| Arthropleura was a large millipede from the late carboniferous Scotland.It was 2 and a half meter long,and in real life it was never co-existed with proterogirynus,so it was the largesf animal in its eco-system.

[@DiegoHernandez-yq3hb]

Probably like crab

[@themightynanto3158]

I wonder, due to how big it was, how much intelligent would Arthropleura have been?

[@bigchungus6853]

Probably not very smart. Millipedes aren't the brightest creatures. It's not like it needed intelligence anyways when it was the biggest most armored creature in the swamp

[@matthewtenorioduenas202]

Probably as intelligent as a hornet

[@JMObyx]

If it was essentially a giant millipede, does that mean that you could get high from eating it?

[@pedrocampos691]

Yep.

[@govnopochta69]

I guess we`ll never find out

The Arthropleura is a pollinator.

[@beedrillbot121]

How is it a pollinator if flowering plants won’t exist for another 110 million years from when it went extinct?

[@wolfbrooks]

Some fossils have spores, and it pollinated Carboniferous vegetation.

[@beedrillbot121]

@@wolfbrooks that is entirely possible especially since the initial “trees” during the Carboniferous used the same method of reproduction as ferns do, so fair enough. Have a nice day.

why did they have to put people in and pretend they're not extinct

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

That was basically the premise of Prehistoric Park. The premise of that series was that Nigel Marven travels back into prehistory to save creatures on the brink of extinction and give them a second chance in the modern day.

[@daryanasaurus9785]

Why would you save A giant Millipede from extinction and I could’ve been extinct
