In 1977, a farmer was plowing his field on a plateau high in the Andes mountains when he stumbled upon a giant fossilized skeleton. How did this giant marine reptile end up high in the Andes Mountains?

This mans muscles get bigger every ep bruh
Mmm.
Either that or the shirts get smaller. I'm okay with either.
get on top of your own fitness journey and keep up! never a bad time to become more healthy, and exercise is absolutely pivotal for that! And yeah this dude is getting jacked love to see his progress
What a noob
@moo moo relax bruv, this isn't a dissertation review.
PBS Eons: Come for the mountain sea monster, stay for the spectacled bear.
Hey now, no need to sexualize our host like that.
@@nsalegit9482 ... there isn't? It will be hard not to with those beautiful muscles though.
Isn't he literally referring to the Andean spectacled bear?
@@velocipastor676 I thought so to
@@velocipastor676 yeah. I'm just having a goof.
A turtle so big it could be ridden into battle?
A war turtle? Yes.
A... Wartortle perhaps
Yes but only if you had all day to complete a cavalry charge.
@@Huildnotreal probably a blastoise, it seemed really big after all. Let's hope that we find their cannons buried underground...
Gotta catch 'em all!
@@dpeasehead anti phalanx?
From a Colombian that loves fossils and has found fossils in villa the leyva, I'm grateful with you for doing this beautiful video.
Mateo Perez Have you ever found any Kronosaurus fossils?
It's so awesome that you've found fossils in villa the leyva!!!
@@MrMonkeyapple no, amonites and some leafs
@@connor863 yes! I went there any I knew. Also in Barichara. It's a beautiful colonial town ant it's full with fossils
I saw the kronosaurio and it's just breathe taking. It also funny that some farmers just came across it while working the land.
My mood right now: EONS video and something to eat
This speaks to me.
@@TheGayAva flats the flounder
Lol same
Apple for me 😁
Ikr
I absolutely love Kallie's puns. But I love watching Blake struggle through them even more. LOL
Same here XD XD XD XD
Agreed. Kallie's puns+Blake saying Kallie's puns=absolute perfection!
Best part is when he explains, It was not his idea.
He says the pun but all I hear is “I’m so sorry” 😂
Seems like he doesn't have children. No love for dad's jokes...
I'm from Colombia. Never thought my country would be featured in a EONS episode. I've seen the Kronosaur st the museum and it truly is a remarkable fossil. Our country is actually quite rich in fossils. Too bad money is not invested on research. Thanks for this episode PBS EONS
Colombia is also featured in the Titanoboa video!
Glad to see Villa de Leyva here in Eons! Going there as a child really sparked in me the love for paleontology!
You can also find bats, tapirs and tigrillos(the smallest felines in america!) in the paramos.
That's awesome!
It seems to be a really good snapshot alright. And fossils spread out over discrete periods too. I literally hadn't heard of this treasure trove til now... I'm a little embarrassed I missed it too, but now that I know!! Well...
Now I want a tigrillo.
As a professional sea monster, I can vouch for this creature. It was an absolute beast.
"My boy kronosaurus" that sent me
Where did it send you? Are you coming back? We miss you.
Ded boi
It made me think of people say "hey, it's ya boi!"
Imagine that - "hey, it's ya boi Kronosaurus"
Tbh, im partially always waiting for the "and Steve" in the end.
Patrick threw me off a bit tbh
At least Steve is still there, so all is good
Indeed, the inflection on the "and Steve" was always particularly amusing too.
Never figured out who Steve is though..... hopefully they'll do an episode about rare sightings of the elusive Stevefoot in the Himalayas...
I guess we'll never know. There are too many Steves around.
I just tune in to see how much more swole he is since the last time he hosted an episode.
I came to the comments to see who said it. 😎
He's getting pretty f-ing jacked
I have noticed more men compliment him lately. For whatever reason.
Jealousy maybe?
@@velocipastor676 I just think it's great when you can see someone progress over time, and if I can give positive feedback I will. And no, not jealous. I'm miles ahead of him, I just respect the effort he's been putting in because I know what it takes to get the results he's shown.
Blake certainly seems to feel pun-ished by the jokes he has to read.
@ Sophia Astatine. He just likes to give Callie a good ribbing. Virginia
Please show yourself out. (BdeP)
@@eons lol
Nice to see my home country of Colombia featured on EONs... I‘ve actually seen that giant Kronosaurus fossil and it is really impresive.... and it is true: You do find ammonite fossils everywhere in Villa de Leyva
Gotta love the way this man hosts! Really nice voice, tone and intonation. Also, looking fit, Blake 👌
Ha ha. You’re one of 5 women crushing on Blake. The other 38,567 are men. 🤫😏
How amazing it must be to live in a place where you cans see fossils used as decorations! Great video.
I wish i had a fossil in my collection. Meanwhile in Colombia, they're making wall decorations out of hundreds of them lol
Don't feel bad, most of them are fake, just to decoration. The whole town is a tourist trap, so they need to keep the aesthetic
Look through gravel used for driveways and landscaping. You can find coral fossils and some othet minor stuff
It's funny but it's really easy to find one there. As a kid i went in a camping trip there, and i found a couple of (to be fair, very small) amonytes just liying there in the ground.
@@megyumiyoshi1062 I don't think they're fake, it's not hard to find fossils in the right places ^^
There's videos of persons just walking throug a quarry and founding fossils without even digging the soil, just walking and watching where they step. Because there are fossils lie ammonites, or shark's teeth that are very abundant ^^
Not just there. In Spain we do that too, albeit with Quaternary shells that are absurdily common. I used to collect them in the playground of my school, I stopped doing so because I had way too many.
Alright - I want to know what this guy's workout routine is like
Being a Eons host and playing for Bayern are worth 3 years of workout. That's why we are still like this and these guys are not.
@@miguelmontenegro3520 wtf, did he play for Bayern?
@@ikennaenwelum7798 No, i'm just telling the two main life hacks to get strong. He picked the first option
Picks up large fossils and puts them down... with paleo diet...
@@SLYSTARx True! And fossils are heavy (minerals from the land the fossil was fossilized in seeps into the fossil thus turning the fossil into a fossil through the process of fossilization, meaning that fossils are as heavy as rock).
I love that these aren’t super long, at the same time, I wish they were...
So cool to hear EONS talk about the Andes and even cooler that they recognized there is so much fossils and living beings to be discovered there! Or I'd say here... greetings from Arequipa in the Peruvian Andes!
Andy's Sea Monster, because it makes sure that YOU! ARE! A! TOY!
.... You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity
It has a snake in its boot.
@@yourstruly4817 And he has a friend inside of him.
A friend in me..... always makes me imagine my BF popping out of my chest like an alien
@@An_Actual_Rat Right!
Kronosaurus looks like a great animal to avoid.
Give me a harpoon gun and we'll have a nice fish fry in a few hours
KSound Kaiju It’s not a fish though, so more like a gator fry.
@@ksoundkaiju9256 The blood and sounds of underwater thrashing would probably draw every rail car sized predator from miles around. If you survived, you'd be lucky to haul a well gnawed Kronosaurus skeleton back home.
KSound Kaiju your gonna need a bigger boat
@@ivoryghost7080 I'm gonna need a bigger pan
Can you guys do an episode on Horseshoe Crabs one day? I've always loved those things
They have.
IMPORTANT MAP GEEK QUESTION: Is there a name for the specific type of elevation/3D landform map shown in the image at 1:09? it's BEAUTIFUL.
Possibly a 3 dimensional relief map?
Raised-relief map
oh baby... that's the STUFF. I'm currently building a world map for a D&D setting and I want to have the topography mapped out in stark 3D relief on it.
@@featherhammer Keep in mind tough that they are extremely exaggerated. If you would shrink the earth with all its mountain ranges to the size of a billiard ball it be as smooth as one.
@@buggerall I'm aware-they're just gorgeous to look at, imo.
I feel this can be one of their videos that hits several million views
This was an especially great video. I was extremely interested in the ancient, giant marine reptile, but ended up learning a lot about South American topographically unique ecosystems.
It should be noted that this is probably NOT a Kronosaurus, recent phylogenetic studies consistently place this specimen outside of Kronosaurus. It will probably require a new name when it is re-described.
link studies or shut up
Yay! EONS daddy is back!
@Luke Lanides why do you hate it?
Fun Fact: The Nazca Plate is in fact the largest surviving fragment of what was once a far larger oceanic plate called the Farallon Plate (other still yet-to-be fully subducted fragments include the Juan de Fuca, Explorer, Gorda, Rivera and Cocos Plates).
You guys should do an hour long video or documentary its amazing listening to you guys and how you explain things love from🇨🇦
I always feel excited when I wake up and see a new video from you guys. It's almost like I'm 6 years old again and I'm looking through my Dinosaur magazines.
PBS EONS, can y'all do a video on the new tail of the Spinosaurus?
Deinocheirus: "I'm the weirdest dino ever!"
Spinosaurus: "Hold my big fat newt tail."
I second this! Please do a video on the tail of the Spinosaurus!
Yes please!
@@cintronproductions9430 (working title) Spinosaurus - The Tale of the Ever-Changing Tail
Spinosaurus can afford to have an entire PBS youtube channel themed on it by now
Can you do a video on prehistoric Fukui Japan?
Wow! Just wow!
I couldn't even watch this for more than 3.33 secs - and I am supposed to be an expert observer! But this is just amazing, the visuals are incredible! Making the best of the brand and stunning, simply stunning!
Who ever oversaw this - your team has outdone itself - yet again!
I just had to tell you all before I watch it to the - I have to start all over to soak it all up!
This is just - overwhelming!
Overwhelmingly exquisite!
Thank you so much! 💚
Thanks for covering this kind of topic. Villa de Leyva is a hub for paleontology in Colombia. And also, a beautiful colonial village near to Páramo de Iguaque.
For those who first know about páramos, they are super special. Condensation is stored by the "Frailejón" (the most famous páramo plant) and the soil retains humidity in such a degree that is like a water bed. They are the factories of water that provide H2O to a lot of the population in Colombia. Sadly, they have been affected severly due to climate change and human intervention.
Colombia.... one of the best coffees I've ever had was in El Dorado international airport while I was waiting for a connection flight to La Paz, Bolivia.
In the most literal sense, more than half of my carry on bag was full of coffee. When I came back to Mexico, from that trip I was carrying at least 14 kilograms of coffee, half of it Colombian, the other half was from Bolivia, Peru and El Salvador.
Happy times.
I need to go to Colombia at least once and take that "Ruta del Café" tour.
I love that this episode was about my homeland 🥰
i love the marine reptiles sm 😭😭😭 always excited when i get to see them on my feed
PBS Eons: Come for the sea monster, stay for Blake's guns
I would like to say that I really appreciate Kallie's pun. Very helarious! 10/10
Important update: The fossil specimen that’s addressed here is no longer assigned to Kronosaurus as of last year, and has now been renamed Monquirasaurus. Right now the only fossils that can be definitively attributed to Kronosaurus are the ones from Australia.
So what? It's just a name change XD Nothing important. Genera names for fossil animals are pretty arbitrary anyway XD
@@daliborjovanovic510 xd
I've been extremely busy last 3 weeks and still I can't believe that I've missed this chapter. I am from Colombia and I was really happy when you made the one about Titanoboa. I am really fan of this channel... Thanks Eons!!!
Eons once again tricking us into learning about geology and ecology under the guise of a big scary dinosaur
And a hot guy reading the script! 😈
Hearing about my country in a scientific context is always beautiful... and then you had to mention our páramos and I lost it. Thank you very much.
I'm guessing Blake had a lot of time to work out. And damn, that's a cool fossil.
He’s on the paleo diet.
I spent my quarantine lying in bed watching YT. Blake’s clearly been hitting the gym, man’s arms look jacked
lol what if you missed the point entirely > /?
I've been amazed by Dinosaurs since I was a toddler and it still blows my mind to think they existed!
This is another brilliant use of a specific paleontological specimen to tell a much larger story. Always a pleasure, Eons! 💙💙
I live in Ancash in Peru. Here at 5000 meters I found plants fossilized! Here at more than 4000 meters in the Andes lived a cretaceous fauna and flora! The paleontologist found dinosaurs and even a t-rex alike theropod!
as a colombian im very happy
I never thought you would talk about Colombia in one of your videos. Amazing!
I love this video. I live in that plateau, the paramos are the most beautiful scenario I have ever seen, they are sacred and provide us with water.
That's weird I was just watching Walking with sea monsters and this notification popped up.
Not weird, google sees everything you read, watch, search, hears everything you say (you have permission for microphone access to APPs), knows what you give likes, what things you watch with attention and then makes personalized adds and notifications of stuff that are in your interests.
How many times you were talking about something and next day you had publicity of things in social media.
@@Argentvs Oh I see
@@Argentvs Yeah, I'm sure PBS eons were waiting for this man to see a documentary about marine reptiles to publish their video on marine reptiles :p
It's just that there is 1,48 million peoples subscribed to PBS Eons, Walwing with sea monsters is a big well-known documentary on prehistoric creatures, the fact that one of the subscribers of PBS eons saw this documentary a short time before seeing this video is just a coincidence ^^
As for the ability of Google to watch you, I thin you overexagerate ^^
They definitely trace your navigation via cookies, the videos you watch on youtube, but I do not see any electronics in my books that can give them what I read. And to not be heared, just do not permit microphones to access your apps XD
And frankly, Google have enough of cookies and youtube to trace you and give you personalized ads, watching you and analyze all your conversations would be too much trouble to be worth it ^^
@@krankarvolund7771 Lol, you clearly have no capacity for text comprehension. PBS Eons has nothing to do with what i've said.
You get notifications and adds depending on your record on the data collected.
Argentvs Pretty sure he was referring to how if you’ve clicked the bell icon, you get notification in the very nanosecond your subscribed youtube channel(In this case, yes, PBS Eons) uploads a video, no matter what the video is. Heck, I got the notification and clicked it but it just so happened I had a class so I only clicked back in right now. Maybe the algorithm messed with yours so that it doesn’t happen to you, but pretty sure the original comment was just that happening and nothing to do with google.
So while your point is correct, it does not apply to this example.
So, while Krankar was bit sarcastic, there was levity and an attempt to explain. Your response was uncalled for.
Damn somebody’s back on cycle 💪
these episodes about fossils in the global south hit different * cheff kiss hand *
wish yall would do more, south america as a region has such a rich and unique fossil record and it's nice when you see it acknowledge in anglo-centric channels (imma keep my fingers crossed for an episode about mega dinosaurs or feathered raptors in patagonia)
Every video this dude gets more buff.
Bonus spectacled bear!
Los subtítulos en español me hicieron amar aun más este video, gracias
I love his voice so soothing
This was a great episode, I've watched a lot of the videos never expected you would mention Colombia, specially after you had already done the Titano Boa episode. What a great surprise.
I'm always so happy when I see there's a new eons episode 😁
My man Steve out here making sure we get our deep time learning on
I always watch this channel
Blake's and Kallie's relationship about puns feels like mine with a friend. I keep sending him them, even if he hates them.
Yay, monsters!
Thanks guys.
I've always thought South America is an absolutely beautiful continent. I'd love to go there someday to observe the wildlife and talk to the locals, although I only know a little bit of Spanish and no Portuguese lol
I *love* how uncomfortable he is with the puns that he must lay the responsibility for them with someone else!
I thought he and Kallie were married. Talk about power couple.
Im loving this background music!
Glad to see some recognition of these areas.
Too much is focused on the geology and history of North America and Europe.
Thank you Kallie for always making Blake read these superb puns.
You folks do wonderful work!! and, you provided way more than an explanation about how the Pleiosaur landed in the Andes... The Amazon basin history is amazing. Maybe another episode dedicated only to that? How the river changed directions, became a wetlands... and all the changes in species, etc... the freshwater dolphins and rays would be interesting to focus on... Thank you again!
I really like the sound design on this one, the ambient music and sounds are really giving it the sauce
“Kronasaurus”
my head: CORONASAURUS!?!?
I love this chanel. I always learn new things
I have been to Villadeleiva and seen all the museums with the Kronosaurus' fossils (there are more not shown in the video), and it is AMAZING how bug that thing was, it is also incredible to see all the other species that can be found there. It is also a beautiful place to go, amazing video
Upped my pateron from $5 to $10!!! I love this show so much!
I love every video of this channel. So informative and fun!
Can we appreciate how good this artist is
I watch and rewatch all of the Eons videos I always look forward when a new one comes out
Thank you for the pun, Callie!
i adore geology so much
I didn't expect you to cover my country, thanks!
I think the chat agrees with me that this was a really cool episode lol
It's just so MIND BLOWING to know these giant terrifying beasts existed on the same planet we live on. The idea of all the ancient extinct monsters having once existed it pretty much normalized and most people don't really bat an eye about it. But sometimes it just hits your mind differently and you realize how truely INSANE that really is. I think people in general have a bit of a complex about being the defacto beings of the world or that we are somehow the chosen ones or more important or special than other creatures. But when you really think about it, we are just as insignificant and powerless against the effects of time. We weren't first, we won't be last, and we aren't special.
nice video! the history of mountains is fascinating man
Would love to see a video on Mary Anning and her contributions to paleontology!
Is it just me who stares at his forearms for wayy to long.......woo!
Just followed him on IG 😫😏
A B I InstaGram.
*Staring at Blake's forearms* I'm sorry, what? 👀
Kronosaurus is my favorite extinct marine reptile. It’s awesome to see him mentioned in your videos!
Im so glad my country is being featured positively lol. I remember visiting this place, it was fascinating
happy to see this channel has more than 1M subscribers
This channel gives you every information you need to know about evolution and Earth's history
It’s like a real monster! Awesome video 👏.
Eons you people are the best
Also I think I may be a little TOO attracted to Blake.... it distracts me from the natural history 😂
Thanks. This was pretty interesting.
We need more episodes on prehistoric South America, the land of the weird and wonderful.
Blake de Pastino is so dreamy....♥♥♥
I love this channel. They deserved a netflix series of documentaries.
Thank you Cali
I’ve been on 4 hour PBS Eons binge. Send help
Thank you for your videos I really enjoy the tone and pace of your episodes
