I really like this, the animations, content and fascinating stories. Can you talk something about the african lungfish that has existed for 400 million years?

[@bob38028]

It’s only sort of existed for 400 million years . The lungfish from 400 million years ago would have looked drastically different than the lungfish we see now, even if the skeletal structure and body plan are generally similar.

[@biblicallyaccurateangel2476]

do you mean the coelacanth? love those weird fish, they’re so funny to me haha

[@CYMotorsport]

1:15 that’s a pretty ridiculous claim calling it the king of the primeval world. Never thought id say that on this channel. Even if they didn’t exist a few million years apart, the period was marked by diverse environments where Many animals thrived and dominated.T Rex certainly didn’t dominate air or water areas. And in another part of the world. It’s like implying polar bears are king of modern ecosystems objectively over elephants or jungle cats or safari cats or crocodiles or certain sharks/whales. But to directly compare it to the T Rex is insane. That period saw more prototypical as we see today atleast “dominant” apex predators as land based hunters. If titanoboa somehow was roaming land long enough in the right period in the right part of the world as a trex it stands zero chance. Of course it doesn’t. And vice versa. But that’s my point. You’ve depicted the animal SO dominant that it’s reasonable to think people would walk away thinking titaniboa was king of all creatures. That’s really not true. Not even in that environment was it exclusively dominant but it was walking away victorious against most animals in its environment that much is true

[@wildwaghorn]

Not watched this channel before but tbh the script reeks of ChatGPT

[@felixowen2693]

I always wanted Jurassic park to do something with a titanoboa. It could even be a movie like the anaconda films. We've already had the Meg movie so Titanoboa should be the next giant jurassic to bring back into film.

Already exists

Which software do you use to make these videos ?

[@impromptu24]

Any one else disappointed by how unimpressive the size is? I was expecting it to be bigger than just a school bus

[@ilexater9556]

"just a school bus". the ability to eat you, your dog, and still have room left over for a couple cows isn't impressive enough for you? how high are your standards? you'd probably yawn in the face of a t rex, right before it ate you.

[@SMARTA69]

The average length of the snake is 13 meters, which is almost the same as if you stack 8 persons ontop of eachother, assuming all of them would be in the average height of 1.75 m and that's not impressive?

[@CHAD_REX_]

Well if u saw one u would not be sayin that

[@ChrisPtoes27]

Still big enough to make you shit your pants if you saw it

[@batttlecoin1241]

I feel like we’ll discover another even larger one one day

[@dumbstruckweeb]

Here after Vasuki Indicus. And I believe there are at least a few snakes either in the deep ocean or some untouched places that are waiting to be discovered.

[@kujojotarostandoceanman2641]

Prehistoric animal lore be like: This is a 20 meter tall penguin, filled with poison, can sense you through heat. It's feathers instant kills anything that's in contact with it even through skin, nothing can stop it until the giga polarbear travels 10000 km to here and hunt it til extinction

[@brosephchillaxatron5440]

There was a video I saw that stated that if Megolodon didn't go extinct, it wpuld have altered human history because there was no boat big enough to scare it from attacking. Im sure this behemoth of a snake would alter our history as well

I will never understand how an animals behaviour is estimated from its fossilised bones. How can one come up with “it’s anatomy is closer to a Boa but it behaved more like an Anaconda” when you only have the bones?

[@zarcon5750]

I'm 100% with you. Lots of liberties taken in these sort of things, educated guesses framed as facts. Sigh.

[@TheSoullessImmortal]

We use modern day animals as reference to estimate the behaviors of extinct animals. It’s not exactly full-proof, but it is pretty darn close.

[@michaelpaliden6660]

The Anaconda is the descendent of the Titanoboa. The horror movie Anaconda is a good what if scenario of what if such a snake still existed.

Not sure whether you're joking, but the "snake" in that movie moves and behaves nothing like a real snake. Might as well say that Wonder Woman is a good depiction of ancient Spartans.

If the earth is billions of years old, we have barely been around for a fraction of a second in cosmic years. It's both humbling and unsettling at the same time.
