@@cheeks7050 birds are dinosaurs. They are in the clade of dinosauria. It's like saying humans aren't primates. And we are all fish, and dinosaurs are reptiles, and inturn birds. I recommend clint's reptiles for more.
@@cheeks7050 That is like saying humans are not primates because apes aren't. Birds are dinosaurs and are the the dinosauria clade. We are fish and birds are reptiles, so are dinosaurs. I recommend clint's reptiles.
When I take a look at the Chalicotheria, I see fairly niche "inbetweeners". Why? Because they are deemed to be the so-called "high browsers" or "high grazers", but in the end they are not that tall and their "arms" aren't that long. Towards the end of the video, Ryan mentioned that one of the possible reasons for the doom of this specialized group of mammals was the then-new competition coming from tree monkeys. Well, monkeys can climb much higher than the Chalicotheria could ever reach, so I personally do not see there any direct rivalry concerning resources. I take a look at them and they simply must've been feeding on some small trees, tall bushes, lowest branches of "regular" trees, or very tall plants (for example, today's banana plants are often mistaken for trees or palms, but they are actually 'herbs' that just happened to be really huge).
Calicotheres are a great example of Convergent Evolution: Calicotheres Therazinosaurs Gorillas Giant Ground Sloths Diprotodonts (a genus/species whose name starts with 'Z' I think) Giant Pandas (a stretch) It would be nice to resurrect a species or two of Calicothere me thinks.
They do pack hunt. Their social groups are a female, 1 or 2 males that are her mates, and their offspring. It’s fully a pack. They hunt and defend their territory as a group.
@@etinarcadiaego7424 evidence/link? They may have been closer related to birds, but they don't fill the same niches as birds do, they fill the niches of ground based mid/mid-large sized hunters (and that's canines to lions level), so there's only so much you can base off small and flying birds behaviours...
I am really enjoying your content. Sooo much so that it has me thinking about non avian dinosaurs in the strangest of places.... Today I was eating lunch in a local Plaza, fighting off the persistent attentions of the large populations of local pigeons and seagulls who were determined to share in my meal.... Which got me wondering if non avian dinosaurs were ever in such sbundant numbers to rival beach side populations of seagulls and inner city populations of pigeons. When David Attenborough shows us breeding island populations of seabirds in their hundreds of thousands.... My question is do you think that non avian dinosaurs existed in vast populations in the same way as contemporary avian populations densities ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
The power in thosr forelimbs, along with those claws, mustnhave made for a legendary wallop. I doubt these guys were an easy meal for anyone. I'm curious what the fossils show.for predation traces. They look like a beast sidekick in a samurai anime,.or some studio Ghibli creature. I love them.
Megafauna still exist. Like the Elephants, the Bison, or even the tortoises in the Galapagos. Any animal is considered megafauna if its sheer size impacts all other plants and animals in its environment. Like how their droppings give nutrients back to the soil, or how they shape the landscape by trampling and feeding on plants.

Not to 'uhm, AkShUaLy', but the extant Harris' hawk is an avian dinosaur that most definitely employs pack hunting.
Love the content, keep it up! 😊
It's a bird, not an avian dinosaur. Unless you also want to call it a fish and a reptile.
Although not commonplace, I've also seen sparrowhawks working together in pairs too.
Really? I must say I didn't know that, thank you for sharing! Always great learning something new and thank you, glad you're enjoying the content 🙂

I just found your channel, and I gotta say I like what I see! Keep up the great work!
Holy eff thanks man, gotta say I’ve been a fan for a while! Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you too! Thank you and glad you’re enjoying it 😃
WOW!!!
People!!! We've got here.... Hollywood!!!

Ah yes, the good ol' gorilla horse
A literal Donkey Kong.

LOL!!!
You look like you could be a protagonist in an adventure movie.
I’m going to have to ask which movie before I take that as a compliment 😂

Don’t forget Archaeoindris!
The terror birds survived the interchange
Living in texas florida and a few other states for a good chunk of time.
Nice vid doe.
The Harris's Hawk does pack hunt.
I really look forward to these videos. Can you cover early sauropods and “prosauropods”
they should call it the HORSLOTHARAFFE
Harris Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) may well be on their way to evolving as pack hunters. They will hunt together anywhere from two to six.
They do pack hunt. Their social groups are a female, 1 or 2 males that are her mates, and their offspring. It’s fully a pack. They hunt and defend their territory as a group.
Great vid 👍
Dinosaurs didn't hunt in packs? I thought Dromaeosaurids and Troodontids were known to do that?
That's more a popular public perception but there is no real evidence for that. They probably behaved closer to birds of prey.

@@etinarcadiaego7424 well? No evidence?
So now I need to figure out which and then watch the BBC documentary that you got that clip of the Chalicotherium that was amazingly well-rendered.
That would be the Walking with Beasts series 😊
Although is more rare, there are avian dinosaurs that pack hunt(Harris’s hawks) or hunt in pairs(aplomado falcons, peregrine falcons, and Merlin’s)
That isnt a chalicotherid, that's donkey Kong
Calicotherium has a convergent evolution thing going with sloths and gorillas, horses and giraffes.
And with Therizinosaurids too.
I wonder if it's athleticism held more of the slot or of the gorilla.
If the later, these things would have been a heck of al risky meal.
Borissiakia is cool looking!
Make a vídeo about australopithecus
Feel like primates In general aren’t spoken as often. Like are people that scared to talk about them?
Chalicotheres are the hook-hoofed gladiators of the prehistoric times of the mammals.
Hawks hunt in "packs". Looking at them doing that always makes me think of packs of dinosaurs.
What happens when you mate a calicotherium with a platypus? The start of a good joke...
A calico pussy?

Kinda sad that this and all other megafauna are gone and will probably get any new megafauna.

Cool
Question is did chalicotherium throw its poo in defence or not?
blud spent too much in time playing ark
Did you refer to apes in the Americas? Hmm. Only if Bigfoot is real.
How did sauropods avoid sunburn?
Possibly the same way today's elephants or rhinos do it.
gorilla horse.
Kinda gets me chubbed up
Look at a moose 🫎 built for it’s environment but looks awkward as heck
"What even is this" bro it's less weird than an elephant or a Giraffe.

You were correct. 🙂
