A fun follow-up could be prehistoric animals that are *smaller* than their modern relatives. Like the dwarf elephants of the Mediterranean for example. Many people imagine _all_ prehistoric animals as huge, so it’d be cool to show that that wasn’t the case.

modern humans probably count, we're taller than many hominids on average. also baleen whales

Tsuki, If the Diprotodon was reincarnated and released into the modern world Australian ecosystem, do you think it would survive?

@troyandskyelar9588 9 ай бұрын

Interesting question. Burning has wiped out a large portion of the habitat they used to occur in and replaced it with eucalypts. But there’s certainly still some areas like they used to live in. I think they would survive in places. There’s also evidence they were migratory (iirc?). We currently have a partial diprotodon skeleton (skull, atlas vert, humerus, scapula and radius) sitting in the carport. Museums picking them up in 2-3 weeks woo!

i think it would as there are no large herbivorous animals native to australia so it wouldnt have any competition

@@wolftalon9129I disagree. Aren't Water Buffalo and Dromedary Camels pretty much everywhere in Australia? Not to mention all human activity that they would be competing with.

@wolftalon9129 9 ай бұрын

well the water buffalo and camel are invasive but the water buffalo only really inhabit swampy wet areas and camels usually stick to deserts so there is a ton of area on such a massive continent for a giant wombat to take over, and with humans, thats the problem but if we only look at area that isnt inhabited by people there is still a ton of natural area@@SomeguynamedTrav

@@justinterry2926Problem is that we don't think or hunt like a predator. Idiotic people hunt for fun and/or trophies. Like Americans even go as far as to tranquilize or lead an animal like a Lion or Elephant into a trap to then be shot from a comfy seat. A F joke. That is only "hunting" to idiotic first world minds

@mitchellskene8176 9 ай бұрын

Deinosuchus and Purussaurus (for the Alligator and Caimen respectively) come to mind. For a video idea, how about megafauna who are overshadowed by other megafauna in media? For example, Quinkana. It's almost never mentioned in Paleo media, with Thylacoleo or Megalania overshadowing it. I'm sure there's other examples, but that's the the example that comes to mind.

'Tis no coincidence that megafauna survived numerous warming and cooling periods, but perished when humans arrived in their habitats.

@@dannyhernandez265 It is best to take the energy from anger over a circumstance such as humanity's ruining so much of nature and use it to do something constructive. People may have killed off many species around the world, but many are working today to save those that are left. In West Africa and New Guinea, environmentalists are collaborating with tribal elders to revive the idea of sacred forests, tracts of land where hunting is not permitted. Christian and Muslim groups could learn a lesson from that. Jared Diamond remarked how on his travels around Oceania, he found the mining lands that surrounded the actual mines had better biodiversity than outside areas because the companies were aware of their value and guarded them. One can look at the wonderful work that has been done in reviving American Buffalo, Whooping Cranes, Black-Footed Ferrets and Kakapo. There are a slew of organizations that are striving to protect wildlife. Some of the most prominent are Birdlife International, The World Wildlife Fund, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, American Bird Conservancy, The Peregrine Fund, The Nature Conservancy and Butterfly Conservation UK, amongst others. They all deserve support. Oh, and seeing a Giant Ground Sloth would be amazingly cool!

I'm so interested in the vast array of ancient animals that aren't dinosaurs. Only specifically stating that because i wish there was more Media covering and displaying ancient creatures. We have a ton of dinosaur media but there's so much ancient life that's never been covered in the same way that dinosaurs got

Humans didn't cause megafaunal extinctions. We coexisted with many of these animals for tens of thousands of years. Instead, widespread habitat conversion due to a shifting climate & solar cycles is what led to the demise of most of these animals. Humans had nowhere near the population nor capacity to slaughter animals in the numbers we do in contemporary times.
