    Yes there are no bears in Australia either! Like I mentioned in the video, I'm looking for a video editor to help me out, hopefully with the additional help I'll make less dumb mistakes (but don't quote me on this 🙈). So if you have a passion for paleontology and extinct animals feel free to submit your application here! forms.gle/jdkhJ9Q27e2u7pJZ6

    This does help with a question in my head I had for a while.
    In Asia, elephants are known to be aggressive towards bears, even though none of the existing bear species they currently live with hunt them and aren't very predatory to begin with.
    So it makes sense that if there was a big predatory bear in africa, there was likely an Asian equivalent that hunted young elephants, and elephants got generational trauma.

    • @MrGksarathy

      All elephantids also came from Africa, so maybe the generational trauma started even earlier.

    HEY, AWESOME CHANNEL DUDE! I'm always excited to watch another episode, and have Binged watched EVERY episode. Absolutely Spot on the best, this is "the edge of my seat intriguing" You never fail to deliver quality, up to date reporting on a already competitive informational niche that similar RUclips channels just don't have that spark of ingredients you supply so effectively.
    Truly great work. Hopefully you can find yourself a good video editor and continue to guide others in exploring vast swaths of time these animals existed. You certainly are the cure to my curiosity.
    Also, it's just a developing interest, but check out the California Fence Lizard. These guys are in every back yard of California. Their subspecies are even found on islands off the coast. They are a very successful group. Might seem a bit mundane. However, they have been around since the Pleistocene. They survive by digging burrows and that is why they are here today.

      @@edmondantes4338 it’s been considered a native species for a while now as even the most agreed upon arrival of 5,000 years is old enough for them to be considered native, as for the origins of their arrival, that is still a challenged theory today. We have fossils from about 5,000 years that’s true but Australia does not have great conditions for fossil preservation, so let’s look at some other proof,
      mitochondrial DNA tests suggests their separation from dogs and/or wolves around 8,500 years ago and rock art of canines have been seen which could date back to 30,000 years.
      As to how they got there is again still debated but some other theories suggest that they walked to Australia from Papua New Guinea as a land bridge opened up between them between 6,000 and 8,500 years ago, it could have also been brought over by the first humans that came to Australia 30,000-50,000 years ago.
      Dingoes are a very important apex predator that Australia might have greatly needed for thousands of years (Even the thylacine is now actually considered to have only had jaws strong enough to kill possum sized animals or smaller, meaning they most likely had a much more fox-like niche). Dingoes greatly contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem, not only by keeping the population of native species down but also because they target and keep the numbers of true invasive species down, they go after anything from rabbits, cats, and foxes to even feral hogs and young camels, sambar deer and buffalo.

      He says that in the video if you watch the prehistoric dolphin video. He's pretty thorough in his videos. He covers a lot of related species that overlap into groups of whales. Summarizing the contents as whales is still correct. If he used the word "cetaceans". It's going to possibly confuse the viewer not familiar with the scientific language of the group it belongs to. So, yeah he's trying to communicate effectively and try his best not to alienate younger, or populations of viewers that speak a different language and viewers that don't recognize the word. The word whale, you can picture in your head, if I say "Rorquals" which is the largest group of baleen whales. You're not going to be interested because it's statistically lower even for a fluent English speaker to create a mental picture. It's called communication theory. Now you get it? 😉
