    In the Eocene Epoch, there was a reptile that had teeth equipped for biting through flesh, its hind legs were a lot longer than its front legs and instead of claws, its toes were each capped with hooves. How did this living nightmare come to evolve?

      Several members of the croc genus actually are still very good spinters; you might want to go for the high branches. Actually, alligators are known to jump out of the water and, even if on land, attempt to leap up to reach prey dangling from the lower branches of trees.

    Thanks for covering these guys. The "crocs on hooves" have been one of my favorite terrifying extinct animals since I first discovered them on Wikipedia. I'm still having trouble understanding what's a hoof and what's not, though. In most of the artist renderings, it just looks like normal reptile toes, with big claws. Same thing as with the Mesonychid "wolves on hooves".

    • @Harrier42861
      @Harrier42861 4 месяца назад +1

      Rule of thumb - if it's blunt and for walking on, it's a hoof. If it's sharp and for grabbing things, it's a claw.

And assuming hooved crocs are as poikilotherm as their living cousins, they're not something to worry about in the climate I live in; they would't surive a winter and would take a metric shitton of climate-change to change that.

      There is millions of records of such things and not imagination. The only imagination is these silly theories of billions of years old and dinosaurs died out millions of years ago To that they are birds now. All this is theory not fact. In ancient rome much evidence exists and mention of huge dragon like beasts fighting in events. If you look at my dragon piece you will see tons of history showing that. All these theories again are theories. The reality is that humans killed off most of what we call dinosaurs today and the flood. History mentions this in our historic records thousands of thousands of times. While all of these are just theories with no backing.

      @@frankteng5476 No backwards logic full fact a flood happened and it is the cause of what you call dinosaurs. However many survived and still do from ancient rock rats to the celocanth many species of this so called millions of years still exist. You create a imaginary time line per year of layer and anyone can make machine to match this equations. Also the fact of hundreds of fossils found with human and dinosaur foot prints in same layer let alone the thousands of cave drawings let alone tons of temples with everything from diplodicous to tyrannosaurs depicted on their walls exactly as we claim they look like today. Imagination is what you follow not reality. Just in one museum there is over ten thousand examples of pottery and stones all from 200 to over 3000 years of age showing many species and how they even interacted with them,
      Keep believing in darwins imagination. It all happened because darwin had smoked some majot ti stick and it got stuck to his beard and caused him illusion and then when he made his big speech all the others smelling the smoke off of his infested beard then caused their brains to fry and then the theory became fact.
      And if you keep making new papers of theory you get lost over time and think is all real but reality is all theory and sort of silly. If you want to think you come from a chimp then that is your right. I tend to think we come from a higher power then that.

      @Jacob Masten My oh my watch video on my channel dinosaurs you can clearly see a tyrannosaurus attacking a horse to many examples.
      There is tens of thousands .You can find them all over the world. That is a ridicules answer and whom ever told you that is leaves on it also thinks peter pan is real Lol These scientist cannot except the facts and try all kinds of silly things to debunk but they are laughable often and rarely accurate. Science has been wrong tens of thousands of times making statements from no new animal be found of any size that was 1800s with thousands since found . To fossils dating only thousands of years many of them of so called extinct dinosaurs including dna and bone tissue If people really think bone tissue can survive millions of years then again peter pan must be real as well. All kinds of evidence shows hundred percent some forms of dinosaurs lived with man.
      Whether they really were around millions of years ago is irrelevant they for sure some species lived to at least early times with humans.

      @@i_r_d_f_c716 in my experience swimming between educational channel like this one, from scishow (and its sister channels), even musical themed channel; people who watched this kind of channel usually genuinely curious or just stumbled upon them. the comments tend to be humorous (in various type of jokes).
      since they know what they're watching and will definitely finish watching it, they want to react. the one who debate things usually those who are in the field of said subjects. even this type of comments are kinda rare (cuz, you know actual scientists and actual people who get a degree on it would be too busy for youtube).
