      @Bill Rock I would agree, it's a very small proportion who actually go on to work directly for them.
      But I stand by the enormous impact of scientists who serve as public figures. We need as many curious, inspired, and aspirational young "-ologists" as we can get, and I don't think it's unfair to credit shows ranging from mythbusters to crocodile hunter to even things like Jurassic Park for sparking curiosity and inspiring people to pursue science as a career.
      The bar for success isn't "literally work for the guy you saw on TV". It's "literally work finding the discoveries you were inspired by when you were a kid."

      @zebdawson3687 4 года назад +4

      Hahaha, I get that you’re just joking, but his point was that you can see the big things and react appropriately, as in move out of the way or avoid its area. With hippos in particular, you have to enter its territory and make it feel threatened, then you have to ignore the warnings it gives. If you stay out of the water and avoid nesting areas, hippos are no problem, it’s not like they sneak into your bedroom at night, mosquitoes and other small disease carrying/venomous critters sure will, however. Most large animals give several warning signs first before they attack, so you’d have to ignore all the signs leading up to the attack, at that point it’s your fault for not listening. Insects and parasites don’t give warning signs, like Forrest said: “all I’ve got is a little smack for a mosquito.”

      Mammoths yes, sabertooths maybe (no very closes living relatives), neanderthals yes, basically any ice age animal is theoretically possible, but in a sense no since they wouldn't be genetically complete, and it would probably be unethical. Dinosaurs no, DNA doesn't last that long, not even close, not even under ideal lab conditions. We could engineer something that resembles our idea of a dinosaur (which is bound to differ from what they were actually like) but we shouldn't.

    A - DNA can't be preserved that long so regardless (of point B) it's impossible already. B - the mosquito species in the film didn't actually sustain itself on blood back in Dino times. C - the only way to feasibly do it would be to (in the future when we can read DNA like a book and combine/modify it at will) combine living animal DNA to bring about a new species that aesthetically looks and acts like a given Dinosaur species; ex. Deinonychus (what the raptors in the film actually are/should be called). You would need probably DNA from Ostrich (legs/hips/feathers), Eagle (behavior/talons/diet) & Monitor DNA (skin/skull shape/tail) (as well as possibly porcupine DNA for the quills), while somehow modifying the gene that controls growth (like people with gigantism) so it would be able to grow large enough. It wouldn't be spot-on and is technically an entirely new species, but it would be possible if we some day perfect genetic manipulation and cloning.

    Jack Horner (a world famous Paleontologist who also was a consultant on almost all of the Jurassic Films) has talked a lot about bringing a dinosaur back to life. He wrote a book called How To Build A Dinosaur (read a bit of it, super Interesting) and has done a TedTalk about it which you can find online. He says the De-extinct Dinosaur would be a Chickensaurus. Basically a De-evolved chicken that is designed to look like a dinosaur. Recently, DNA was found on a hadrosaur and a dinosaur head was found on amber pretty recently too.
    As exiting as this is, I hope scientist listen to Malcolm’s warnings before they make any decisions. Jack Horner also said that he thinks that the decision to bring back a Dino would largely depends on society rather than just scientist.

    I think there are some great information here, although I would like to raise one point, animals like Coelacanth and Crocadiles do evolve and change over time, just much slower and on a smaller level because they are so well adapted to their environment. So while at a glance their modern structure looks very similar to their fossil from hundreds of millions of years ago, there are nevertheless, still small differences.
    All living creatures evolve, just the rate and scale of the evolution differs between species.

    Dinosaur de-extinction is a lot less likely than de-extinction in general. Passenger pigeons, thylacines, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats... all that may well come to pass. But not T. Rex, sadly. No intact non-avian dinosaur dna has yet been found, and it seems unlikely that it ever will.
    What's much more plausible is genetically modifying bird species to make them more dinosaur-like. But that would be a genetically modified bird, not an actual historical dinosaur.

    As much as I enjoy his show and am glad to see supposed extinct animals getting rediscovered, I do have some issues with a few statements in the video:
    1. Aside from the episode of Extinct or Live there is no evidence that the Caiman (subspecies) featured was ever considered extinct in the first place.
    2. Coelacanths did not appear first appeared 409mya, not 666mya and have changed significantly since then.
    3. Crocodilians have changed significantly since they first appeared, there were giant filter feeding species and small armoured herbivores in the Cretaceous, and active hoofed predatory crocodiles after the kpg mass extinction- the last terrestrial crocodile, Mekosuchus kalpokasi was exterminated by the Polynesians just 3,000 years ago.
    4. Jurassic Park is not possible at all. DNA doesn't last long enough to be viable, currently the oldest possible age is 3mya, however cloning Dinosaurs is not impossible because Birds are living Dinosaurs so the Passenger Pigeon (which he mentioned is in the process of being cloned) will likely be the first example of an extinct Dinosaur resurrected.

    Okay, my number one favorite movie is Jurassic Park and my number two favorite movie is jaws. I hear that this guy watched Jaws for the first time and went straight to the ending which absolutely breaks my heart because he has officially been robbed of a really wonderful movie night and going straight to the end of Jaws is probably the worst thing you can do. And I'm sure he's going to tear apart Jurassic Park but hopefully he's at least seen it first.
    Edit: as far as bringing back dinosaurs, I don't buy it. I absolutely think that we will bring back extinct animals. But I think we will bring back extinct animals that have gone into Extinction in our lifetime. Animals that we have been able to get significant amounts of blood and DNA from because we were prepared for it. Trying to get a complete DNA sequence on a dinosaur is just not something that's going to happen. Even if there was living tissue left in a fossil, even if we were able to get dna, that doesn't automatically mean that we can clone it. Because that DNA may not be anywhere near the complete DNA that we would need to be able to even attempt to bring them back. And the odds of us getting any type of source of DNA from something that died 65 plus million years ago is just not something I'm prepared to accept yet. Trust me I promise you I would love to see it but I don't see how it's even possible. I was listening to a geneticist talk and he said that it's essentially impossible to get what they would need DNA Wise from a fossil. But even if they were able to get a complete DNA strand from a fossil, that would be the easiest part. Everything else after that would be even harder there's no guarantee even if they had a full complete DNA strand that they would be able to clone a dinosaur. So the part that I'm sitting here saying there's no fucking way and pretty much every single expert has said there's no way we're going to get a full DNA strand, even if they did that would be the easy part. So if they do ever clone dinosaurs I don't think it's going to be in our lifetime. It's going to have to be way down the line when we figure out some ridiculous way that we can get it I don't know but I hope I'm proved wrong on that but I don't believe that I am.
    And it's funny as soon as she said Moby Dick I said thylacine. Cuz I saw that video I've never really seen this guy before except for the video on the thylacine and I knew he was going to say that haha I truly truly truly with every ounce of my being hope that this guy finds the thylacine. I remember seeing a show on it, a children's show with two brothers, in 1996 where they were talking about the Tasmanian tiger and since then I've hoped and hoped and hoped that we found one alive and I fucking hope so much that he finds one.

      If an asteroid like the one that hit 65 million years ago hit global temperatures would be the least of our worries. The complete plant die off would cease food production by photosynthesis which would cause a collapse in ecosystems and human food production for several years. We are big animals and have a massive demand for food goods. Shelves would empty with no solution, what ensues would be horrific.
      Nonavian dinosaurs did not over heat or die from cold, most animals starved including many mammal clades. Most mammal and bird clades died including small generalist! Only a few small generalist (likely from specific regions) survived.

    This was an interesting video and I can tell that Forrest really loves animals and what he does but I noticed some things he said in the video were wrong and as a budding paleontologist I want to address them.
    First, at 21:08 Forrest says that the Coelacanth is 666 million years old, this is wrong. I don't know if he misspoke and meant to say 66.6 million years old (which would still be wrong) or if he just has the wrong information or what, but he is wrong. 666 million years ago (mya) would put Coelacanth older than the Cambrian period (541-485.4 mya) which is around he time complex multicellular life diversified and went crazy. Coelacanth is nowhere near that old. We have Coelacanth fossils and related fossils dating as far back as the Devonian period (419.2-358.9mya) coming to the present day, but nothing like what Forrest stated. Eventhough Forrest is wrong, I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that he misunderstood something.
    Second, when they were talking about de-extinction, we cannot de-extinct dinosaurs. According to all of the scientific information I have seen, you cannot get DNA from fossils that old. DNA degrades like any complex molecule and does not maintain its form for millions of years and since dinosaurs went extinct roughly 65 mya, that's not happening. However, there are projects now that are trying to revive recently extinct species like the mammoth, the thylacine, the carrier pidgeon, etc. that could work but, like Forrest said, if we de-extinct those animals they will not be those animals anymore. They will be some kind of wierd hybrid of the extinct animal and an existing animal, not the original animal. There is a project that involves trying to recreate dinosaurs by genetically reverse-engineering birds into something that resembles a dinosaur that is a bird/dinosaur hybrid (that looks terrifying to be honest) that has been proposed as a way to bring dinosaurs back but, like Forrest stated before, they will not be the original animal.
    Third, crocodiles are not perfect in any way. They adapted to occupy a niche that was empty and did it very well. They stiil changed over time. Crocodiles did not exist for hundreds of millions of years, their ANCESTORS did. Crocodiles are around 55 million years old and exist to present day but their ancestors existed since the Triassic period (251.9-201.3) and were extremely diverse and occupied many many different niches, not just the semiaquatic predator niche. If you want to see some crazy body plans and weird/cool crocodile forms I suggest anyone who is interested look it up.
    Anyways, cool video, I'll try to check in on Forrest's show because it sounds cool. Good job.

      Crocodile's ancestors existed since the Triassic period? Their ancestors, like the rest of life, go back maybe a little under 4 billion years. I guess you meant their ancestors of the order crocodilian. Crocodilian goes back to the Triassic.

      If you mean non-avian ones and you mean clone them, you are incorrect. We can't clone them. They went extinct too long ago. Cloneable D.N.A. doesn't last long enough. After about 1,000 years, 75% of the genetic information is lost. After 6.8 million years, every single base pair is gone. So there's no where close to remotely a possibility that animals that have been dead for some 66 million years at minimum, can be cloned.

      the bigger issue is dna decomposes after a few hundred thousand years when in the best conditions. The last nonavian dinosaurs died 65 million years ago, we will never have anything to clone from them. The best we can do is grow a tail on chickens.

      @PowderClaws Non-avian dinosaurs can't be cloned. They lived too long ago. The dinosaurs in the movie were intended to be just as they were. Also, it doesn't make sense to use amphibian D.N.A. to fill in gaps. For one thing, I don't think it's possible to fill in gaps, and even if it was, there's no amphibian D.N.A. where it makes sense that it would be close enough to use.

    To see the real and true Forrest please watch the show that he made when the graceful pilot whales were being massacred and slaughtered and he could not stop it. There were so many whole ( generations) family pods being butchered and completely wiped out. Forrest cried so hard. A ritual a city does each year by having fishermen go out and separate families of whales and herds them close to shore where then the bell rings and people go out with knives, whatever and everything and then slaughter whole families but so many are only wounded and to look into their eyes. It broke my heart but to see his heart breaking as well. In my mind, a true human being, a real man with a huge loving heart. This very segment - was filmed when he was over in Denmark ( Faroe Islands ) . Sadly, that this is done annually in this community when the pilot whales and other whales are on their migratory route.
