The sound effects on this video were so distracting. I really liked this topic though! Monitors are so cool.
Please make a video about quetzalcoatlus.
Looser
Calling this a 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' would actually make sense, it's literally a tyrant lizard king.
@@abdecedricc1636 what?
@@abdecedricc1636 ?
@@abdecedricc1636 well, guess who's the dumb here when don't even know the meaning of Tyrannosaurus Rex. 🤣
@@abdecedricc1636 mm I love proper grammar
Don't mind the 10 year old kid comment, you dropped this 👑
Well on the theme of giant reptiles of Australasia and one with a oddly similar name, "Meiolania" was a massive tortoise from New Caledonia, also found on nearby islands and apparently also some fossil evidence in Australia. I believe they were the largest megafauna on New Caledonia and were pretty interesting, namely their distinct horned skulls. Definitely a forgotten beast and worthy of some love.
Drednaw irl
Got that right 👍
Sadly, the only love it seems to have gotten is an appearance in Zoo Tycoon, specifically its expansion Dinosaur Digs. They were cool, but not my favourite animal of the pack.
were they related to the carbonemy?
Nice. Didn't know. Takk skal du ha.
Megalania was the biggest lizard to live on land. Technically, Mosasaurus was the largest lizard to ever exist.
Monitor lizards, in general, are awesome and Megalania truly was the crowning achievement for this family of lizards.
Nah I think mosasurus is better that monster could kill a t-rex.
Asian water monitors are common to be seen here in the rural area of Malaysia here and we Chinese call them 'four legged snakes' , they look quite scary as giant lizards, but at most times are afraid of huamans themselves due to their size, and yes I had scared away (by no hurting) some before😂
@@oiltoast3723 wasn't a monitor though
@@merryn9000 It was a varanoid lizard, not quite a varanid (monitor lizard). It's taxonomically nearly as closely related to monitor lizards as modern day earless monitor lizards.
@@Aidanjacksonkightly_reptiles How is it a varanoid? A most recent study on them suggested a close relationship to Varanoidea within Anguimorpha, but never said that they were varanoids themselves.
Glad you said largest land bound lizard because everyone knows and loves the amazing lizards that where the mosasaurs
mosasaurs werent lizards though, they were very closely related but they were a whole other thing
@@holycrusader3119 Mosasaurs were absolutely lizards. Recent studies are inconclusive but they all say the closest living relatives are either the monitor lizards, or snakes, which are also lizards. And both of which raise the speculation that they were also venomous.
@@holycrusader3119 yea mosasaurs along with snakes and other lizards are all lizards
@@rianfelis3156 they're closely related but we dont call mosasaurs lizards, we call them mosasaurs.
@@holycrusader3119 We call mosasaurs mosasaurs the same way we call iguanas iguanas. They're all still lizards. Mosasaurs were in speculated to be in the group of animals called varanoids which includes modern day monitor lizards and earless monitors, so monitors were far more closely related to mosasaurs than any other non-monitor group of lizards.
Can you guys please do a video on prehistoric cetaceans like Basilosaurus or Dorodon?! Many people don't think about this group.
how Australians survive is a real mystery
Not constantly having mass shootings makes it a safer place to live.
We thrive off the coasts and don’t touch anything we see that knows how to swim
Megalania is not the largest lizard. It's the largest terrestrial lizard, but Cretaceous mosasaurs are squamates, which makes them true lizards. In fact they're quite closely related to varanids; a clade which includes megalania, the komodo dragon and other lizards commonly referred to as "monitors".
Technically mosasaurus is the largest lizard that ever lived and were also distant relatives of monitor lizards.
Loved the video was lovely seeing some stuff on megalania also may I suggest palaoloxodon it's a very interesting elefantine
The first time I heard of megalania was when watching a documentary that went with the fire theory for their extinction. It based it on stories and rock paintings passed down through generations of aboriginal Australians. Basically the theory was that magalania was cold blooded and needed to bask in the sun in the morning to warm its body. Humans took advantage of this by starting fires to over heat and probably burn any lizards that were a predatory threat. They then consumed the cooked meat.
Once again, ask the Aborigines what happened. They were actually there fighting these things and passed the stories down.
An Australian Komodo Dragon.
As in a Komodo Dragon with the temper of an Australian.
Why am I not surprised
0:26 the roar was just someone burping 😂
@ 0:26 that was a loooong lizard Burp! Lol 😂
Thank you so much for making this video! This is one I recommend!
I hope to see a Megaloceros next!
"this was the biggest lizard to ever exist"
Tyrannosaurus rex: Am i a joke to you?
not lizards but you made an attempt
Mosasaurus: Bruh
We should introduce the Komodo dragon to Australia to serve as a proxy for the extinct megalania.
Komodos originated from australia and went to indonesian islands about 50k yrs ago
Idea: Maybe a video on Triceratops or Pterodactyl?
Always loved komodo dragon family of species!!!
Could you do a video on the vulture bee and its weird meat honey? is it strange that i kinda wanna try it
Suggestion? How about scary pre-Mesozoic fish?
Pick your weapon: Dunkleosteus or Helicoprion?
I couldn’t imagine running into one of these after she gave the measurements plus its speed
Dunkleosteus would be an interesting creature
0:25 Didn’t know megalania drunk beer
You guys always have the cutest presenters teaching me about amazing animals. Cheers.
"weighing between 97-1,940 kg (214-4,277 lb), but the fragmentary nature of known remains make estimates highly uncertain" .wiki
can we just appreciate the drawings for a moment?
Mosasaurs are the largest lizards known to have ever lived. V. priscus is the largest terrestrial lizard known to have lived.
This giant horned turtle sounds amazing!
Thanks for them info
Can you do a video on the Ivory Billed Woodpecker?
Please, do one on the mosasaur. Thank you!
Where’d you get the megalania model from ???
Please do a sivatherium i love ur videos thank u.
Multituberculates! Most amazing and successful and overlooked critters ever. :)
We've still got goannas! But thankfully they're less....scary.
Excelente y hermoso documental felicitaciones 👏 👍
I just LOVE your guys illustrations, they are amazing
You don’t even know my real name... I’m the f*cking lizard king.
I would say bush fires would have been a huge factor in their extinction, would have wiped out a lot of eggs and young as well as their prey animals.
Title :Megalania biggest lizard of all time
Mosasaurus: am I a joke to you
Occasionally here in Australia there's soghtings of Monitor lizards far exceeding 2plus metres or more.
Looks like I've got my next Jurassic-Park-style project...
"Roar" at 0:25 LMAOF
Yeah that seems about right. Where man goes extinction seems to follow. 😞
damn, komodo's older cousin be scary
Please consider making a video about a theropod dinosaur! Tyrannosaurus Rex or Giganotosaurus perhaps?
Wouldn’t the largest lizard to ever live technically be a mosasaur?
If megalania was still around, you would see some people pulling up to school on one of these.
Oh yeah the Mega was one badass prehistoric lizard and this video was awesome
What the hell was that at 00:26?? Lizards don't roar, or burp, or whatever that was supposed to be.
This is literally the real life SCP 682, The Hard to Destroy Reptile!!!
Why did they give it that vocalization? Monitor lizards don't burp to communicate, they hiss.
For those who don't know the pleistocene area was probably my favorite and that's the era of the rise of mammals I like biotherium just cuz the name like a giant giraffe
I LOVE MEGAINA THE EXTINCT KOMODO DRAGON 🦎
Wrong, I am the Lizard King of Australia.
Did you use a burp for the sound effect?
Tamandua next pls. :D
I’m confused. Was Megalania the size of a Saltwater Crocodile or what?? 🤨
Pretty much
Naming this lizard after Melania makes me laugh
Great coverage!
aaaand its in Australia... during the ice age
Gigantic Melania is the most scary thing.
lizard king! lizard king! lizard king!
It’s actually called Varanus Priscus nowadays
Please do something on the eurasian cave lion!!!
When you think about it, Megalania was pretty much like the T. Rex of Prehistoric Australia.
Yeah its true
It ate everything
These things used to hunt little homofloriensis(hobbits little three foot tall humanoids yes they used tools also)
They Look like they were in jurassic park But in real life
I could have lived without the noises lol. But otherwise great video!
I heard moniter lizards are closely related to megalania not komodos
It's vhagar from house of the dragon show😂
how fast can it run and how much do it weighs in USA terms.... please and think you
How about a video about animals that weren't hunted to extinction by humans but died out anyway?
How about Sea Scorpions, like Pterygotas or Brontoscorpio?
Megalograptus
If we gave it more "lov", it would have been an immortal skeleton !
... Megalovania
0:57 Roboshark??
The closest we ever got to Godzilla Junior
Next do video bout thunderbird
Where did you get those figurines from? Specifically the komodo and titanaboa?
Can you talk about Giganotosaurus next please
How about using standard measurements?
Trying to figure out if the animations were trying to show it roaring or belching...
Megalanias are badass! 😎🤘🏻🖤😁👍🏻🥰🤗🇨🇦💖
Imagine Steve Irwin tangling with this monster
They probably snacked on humans :P
The Le champs magnetic field excursion happened about 48,000 years ago and lasted a about 900 years. Ancient petrified wood forests in Australia dating back 47-49000 years ago indicate extreme solar radiation or an extreme extra solar event is what could have caused an extinction event. This also coincides with cave paintings that started appearing around the same time as well as the use of red ocher as sun block and cave paint.
"Australia"
Because OF COURSE!
Melania is pretty terrifying.
The crx ❤
Hey small editing bug, the timeline at 4:45 it shows the Pleistocene before the rest appear
Is it just me or is does the megalania sounds like it’s burping?
The visuals were a bit too repetitive for this one, but whenever beautiful Talia is on screen I forget about everything. ;-)
Australia... yeah
Paleologic yess
I read this as 'MegaMelania'. I was like NO. Regular Melania for 4 years was more than enough 😒
can you guys do one on megistotherium?
Daniel D'Fo Where.. Where She Is..??
