What's destiny

It makes sense for someone by the last name fish to study aquatic animals

Yeah, I smirked when the name of the expert studying waterborne mammals was Dr. Fish;):).

Idk about andrewsarchus being the first stage of whale evolution. Was most likely something much smaller, like Indohyus.

[@pedrogabrielduarte4544]

These whals do not appears in this series

[@daliborjovanovic510]

It's not meant to be taken literally, just representing a general idea of how whales evolved from carnivorous ungulates from Asia. Andrewsarchus was a close relative of ancient whales and hippos, and part of that same lineage of ancient hoofed animals in Asia like Indohyus and Pakicetus.

14:36 That Skeleton on the upper left looks like some kind of Rhinoceros.

It's Paraceratherium transouralicum from 3 episode.

@@zoologist-1pokedigifan Last time I checked, This species is a little bit smaller as a Cow & this once lived in North America. I think it’s probably a Subhyracodon. A hornless Rhinoceros that once live in the middle of the United States of America.

@@zoologist-1pokedigifan I appreciate it, but I swear that this Skeleton belongs to a different species of Rhinoceros that lived millions of years ago. Because I think it’s head shape is different & it’s neck is a little bit short, not long to reach the treetops for tender leaves.

[@NorthamIncYT]

@@dylangeltzeiler946 in fact we don't actually know if it was hornless or not Keratin usually doesn't fossilize

@Pssybart Fascinating stuff. I had no idea Basilosaurus has been known since the early days of modern paleontology. Thanks for the info ! :-)

[@vandacarneiro980]

yes.,

[@NobleKorhedron]

That's why it was called #Basilosaurus, @ZemplinTemplar - it was thought to be more like a Mosasaur or short-necked Plesiosaur, hence the "saurus", because it was assumed to be a reptile.

[@ZemplinTemplar]

@ImAnotherZang It's probably named that way because they had mistakened it after its first discovery with one of the mesozoic sea reptiles. I'm actually surprised paleontologists haven't changed it already. It's kind of confusing to non-paleogeeks.

I never understood where do they find all those skeletons when they make shows like this. Are they made and put there just for the show? Do they visit some dig site that just found that skeleton?

Michael Jr Sadgwar to kill their prey

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

To grab the animal in the first place. Sperm whales have no teeth on their upper mandible, but their lower teeth hold Giant squid in place, enabling them to then suck them down their throats.

They say that large andrewlacarcouse was relative of the whale , in the show walking with beasts whale killer episode the andrewlacaecouse was also around the same time as basilaourouse and it said that sheep and goats evolved from it

[@eamonflaherty5325]

Tag Tagger It said it was a relative of goats and sheep in the episode whale killer but this behind the scenes of walking with beasts are saying it evolved to whales , dolphins and porpuse family but if that's what it evolved to in that episode whale killer it was around the same time as basilasorouse

Bonus Comment: (3 1/2 years later) 0:46-1:06 I just discovered what Documentary this footage of the Bull Male Sperm Whale came from. It was from the 1997 PBS NATURE Program called “Sperm Whales: The Real Moby Dick”. I have a feeling that NATURE Program along with several dozen others I’ve noticed has yet to be released on DVD like some of the others that have. I better write to PBS about which NATURE Program needs to be released on DVD In America. As much as Nova & the Living Eden series. I might also write to the National Geographic Society about which Documentary on Modern & Prehistoric Animals also has yet to be released on DVD in America after all these years. 14:36-14:39 I seem to recall that this Hornless Rhinoceros was brought back to life on one of the episodes of Prehistoric Predators. I think it was the episode Razor Jaws it appeared on, but it wasn’t on DVD. 3 episodes of Prehistoric Predators were released on DVD. The other 2 about Megalodons & Terror Birds were seen as Bonus Programs on 2 National Geographic Documentaries about… 0:01-0:03 Dinosaurs. I think Razor Jaws needs to be released as a Bonus Program on something new that has yet to be released on DVD. I’ll think of something on my letters to National Geographic & PBS.

[@Pssybart]

@ZemplinTemplar That's how international rules in biology work, the first name stays. There are many misleading names in species: Homo Erectus wasn't the first upright hominid and many so-called toads are now classified as frogs. A name is only officially dropped when the specie turns out to have been named before or when the same name has already been used for a different specie.

[@Pacmann123]

Does anyone know the music that beginns at 13:16?

[@chernobylresident7436]

Pacmann123 no, sorry

[@amberkelliher6555]

I'm confused... why are they saying that Andrewsarchus was a relative of the whales? I thought it was related to sheep and goats. Is that not Andrewsarchus 1:51 ?

[@PeaLord125]

Whales are also related to ungulates

[@stevenelbert8989]

That's both true but since andrewsarchus looked alot like the animals that gave rise to whales they just used it as an example of what hoof carnivores looked like

[@pedrocampos691]

Yes okay okk.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Wow, you're another person who totally misread the "his closest relatives are hoofed animals like sheep and goats" line. Andrewsarchus is indeed most closely related to whales and hippos. Ironically, originally this was thought to be the case because Andrewsarchus was thought to be a mesonychid, who were also thought to be the ancestors of whales. Now we know, whales are more closely related to hippos and entelodonts, but Andrewsarchus also turned out not to be a mesonychid but part of that same liniage of hoofed mammals from the Early Eocene as entelodonts, whales and hippos.

@ZemplinTemplar Richard Owen found out Basilosaurus was actually a mammal and proposed to rename it Zeuglodon cetoides (“whale-like yoke teeth”) but the idea was rejected because of the rules.
