This is one of the best channels on You Tube. - Exellent video. Imagine how long the Triassic period was, and we still dont know so much about all the animals and life from this time. Therefore sharing awesome videos like this are so informative, and very exellent work of real science. - Thank you so much "CHimerasuchus". - You are an exellent teacher.
The evolution of archosaurs is always impressive and so is the evolution of your channel. Aside from finding a new regular narrator and adding custom thumbnails to each video, the production quality in general has continued to improve while still keeping your videos packed with information. Keep up the good work!
I was ever mesmerized by convergent evolution since in my childhood I discovered the convergences through some extint marsupial and placental mammals.. Probably future fossils discover will reserve further surprises
The issologastolo formation is really interesting, it went from being reasonably warm and arid, yearly average around 20'C (maximum yearly tempreture being around 38'C, essentially similar to coastal Egypt), to having a yearly average temperature of around 12'C(similar to northern Denmark) and still arid and then back up to a yearly average of around 20'C and arid again. Herrasaurus inhabitied and thrived in the cooler conditions but seems to have died out when the climate changed back to warm conditions again, saurosuchus and its dynasty just maintained it's niche as apex predators right through it, and it's dynasty thrived till the end of the triassic. Heard something about no woody plants being recovered or present at the site on your dinosaurs are wrong, but could not verify becasue of paywall. I mean the show is always really well informed and they'd have corrected it if they were wrong. I'm just infatuated with the idea of a 10m bipedal beaked crocodile dragon tromping around in riverine meadows of clubmosses, ferns, tree ferns and such all with a dusting of winter snow.
These shuvosaurids remind me of the early paleoart of dinosaurs. Back in the day, before we understood dinosaurs, we assumed they were basically large lizards and the paleoart reflects that misunderstanding.
I can imagine a wide cast of diverse Archosaurs if the extinction events that have so thoroughly wiped out most of them didn't occur. A version of the Mesozoic with a greater pseudosuchian presence. It would be a fascinating scenario to witness, how a more prolonged competition between pseudosuchians and dinosaurs would effect both groups.
Another fantastic video! Thank you so much for covering so many Triassic species, it can be so hard to find high quality videos about that period here on YT so your channel is easily one of my favorites.
Did I mention how much I love this channel?!?! Each time we get an underappreciated little-known animal, and a rich overview with in-depth research clarifying so much of what is known about it.
Are you going to think of a suggestion making a RUclips Videos all about Geosaurus (A Marine Crocodile and/or A Sea Crocodile) on the Next Chimerasuchus Next Saturday coming up next?!👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a fanatic of the prehistory this was so fascinating i didn't even know about this group of animals we seriously need a documentary about Triassic period
How can it balance on 2 legs? Looks so wrong to me. Its hips are are so far back and the center of gravity looks like it should be near lower ribs. Even considering hollow bones, tail counterbalance, and air sacks (if it has such features), it looks like not nearly enough muscle mass from hips back to counter the substantial front end.
Whenever i see or think about Effigia i remember a documentary that micheal douglas narrated that depicted it getting chased by Coelophysis, then getting eaten by postosuchus
I'd be really interested in seeing how bipedal poposauroids looked when they walked. If they had forward-facing feet, which were also supposedly flat and vertically below the hips, how did they transfer weight from the heel to the toe without an arch?
Really interesting. But also, I'm confused: I thought convergent evolution came about because of the animals inhabiting similar niches (i.e. fulfilling the same ecological function).Is it really convergent evolution if the niche is different and, apparently, organ functions are different?
One thing I'd like to see a video on: why are therapsid-line amniotes so much more prone to losing their tails and rarely evolved bipedalism, whereas reptiles seem to hardly ever lose their tails and have often evolved bipedalism in major groups? Along from the tendency of therapsids toward heterodont and reptiles to homodont, it seems to be one of the key differentiators between this bifurcation of the amniote lineage.
Regarding pecking or not, can we really be thus sure? We probably don't know how much the jaws were enforced by ligaments: Just take the well known green or grey parrots - if we only knew these from their delicate skull bones, we would never come to the idea that those animals will generate and well handle a bite force of up to 1,5 metric tonnes - more than a big male wolf.
They are found in both the Ischigualasto Formation and the Chinle Formation, perhaps the most famous Triassic fossil sites. The Chinle Formation was home to Coelophysis, Tawa, Daemonosaurus, Dromomeron, Kwanasaurus, Poposaurus, Postosuchus, Desmatosuchus, Typothorax, Hesperosuchus, Vivaron, Revueltosaurus, and Acaenasuchus (the creatures shown at 10:25). Some archosaurs from the Ischigualasto Formation are Herrerasaurus, Sanjuansaurus, Eoraptor, Eodromaeus, Panphagia, Pisanosaurus, Saurosuchus, Aetosauroides, and Venaticosuchus.
Theoretically, is there any reason that under the right circumstances an extant species of reptile or lizard couldn't face the same selection pressures and become a neo-dinosaur, complete with the upright walking and dinosaur like hip shapes?
Certified Convergent Evolution Classic
We seriously need a legit documentary fully focusing on the Triassic here, this is awesome!👀
He already did it and it’s great
I'm a Triassic Junkie rn og frfr
This channel and Dr. Polaris are so underrated
🐻❄️
It's crazy how some of these look the way we first thought dinosaurs did, with dragging tail and weird arms.
I don't think shuvosaurids dragged their tails, but they do basically look like old ornithomimosaur cartoons.

I love the obscure topics this channel covers
Kid: mother,may I have dinosaur?
Mother: we have dinosaur at home.
Dinosaur at home:
These shuvosaurids remind me of the early paleoart of dinosaurs. Back in the day, before we understood dinosaurs, we assumed they were basically large lizards and the paleoart reflects that misunderstanding.
I really enjoy how this channel isn't afraid to delve into more obscure genera and species. How about Enhydriodon next?

These are very interesting creatures. Thank you for the fantastic video!
Thank you. I've heard a little bit about Effigia but not the rest. Thank you.
Just started watching this channel and have binged a lot of videos. I love that you cover triassic fauna and lesser known animals.
Are you going to think of a suggestion making a RUclips Videos all about Geosaurus (A Marine Crocodile and/or A Sea Crocodile) on the Next Chimerasuchus Next Saturday coming up next?!👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Can't wait to see the inevitable octopus ostrich mimic in a hundred million years
I enjoy hearing uour voice at the end of the video
As a fanatic of the prehistory this was so fascinating i didn't even know about this group of animals we seriously need a documentary about Triassic period
Ah, a positive outcome to insomnia until 5:30 am.
Fantastic content and love the narration.
Another great video 😎
Wow, cool video
Pretty wacky creatures yet very cool
Amazing video btw, hope you had a great day
Shuvosaurus is my favorite Triassic animal
cool video
The fuckn gators literally did everything and then were kicked back into the water every time

I would have named all these thicc bipeds canklesauroidea.
Good movie dinosaur
Have you heard of the dinosaur deez? You should do a video on that one
3 horsemen of the evolution: crabs crocs and ostriches
Convergent
Shuvosauridae means good and kind hearted.
0:13 they're not Rhino related????
Nope. They are both perissodactyls, but their similar appearance is mostly the result of evolutionary convergence.
Horses are the closest living relatives of brontotheres.
dinosaurs are Shuvosaur look-Alikes
What dinosaur or other Archosaurs that is contemporary with the Shuvosaurids?
Well, when Shuvosaurus was discovered; scientists believed it was the earliest Ornithomimosaur relative ever recorded.
They are found in both the Ischigualasto Formation and the Chinle Formation, perhaps the most famous Triassic fossil sites. The Chinle Formation was home to Coelophysis, Tawa, Daemonosaurus, Dromomeron, Kwanasaurus, Poposaurus, Postosuchus, Desmatosuchus, Typothorax, Hesperosuchus, Vivaron, Revueltosaurus, and Acaenasuchus (the creatures shown at 10:25).

What if shuvosaurids survived the Triassic extinction instead of dinosaurs?
Sterling Nesbittosaurus
Wild. Denver wasn’t even a dinosaur after all.
We have:
-A ghost croc (Effigia)
-A ghost fps game that sucks (Call of Duty Ghosts)
-A racist group that are Ghosts (Triple K)
What is silofajsis?
One of the earliest dinosaurs.

They also strongly resemble Limusaurus.
