Why is hyaena even in the title if the first thing said in the video is that they arent hyaenas? Thats like calling Hipposaurus brinki a tiny prehistoric horse.
The sheer power of a Hyaenodon's bite must have been extraordinary. It's amazing how, aside from their bite and hunting style, we know so little about them, despite them being such a major part of ecosystems around the world.
We also know that they were rather bad at open land pursuit and thus bear-dogs (amphicyonids) kind of outcompeted them to extinction pretty much everywhere except Africa.
@@ashdog236 I was talking about hyaenodontids, which have nothing to do with hyenas. Did you even watch the video, or at least read the original comment?
@@ashdog236 I was referring to the fact that in Africa they managed to hold on and even thrive, all the way into the middle Miocene, whereas in Eurasia and North America, amphicyonids pretty much wiped them out from most niches by the late Oligocene. It took the radiation of the more advanced carnivorans (cats and dogs) for the hyaenodonts to croak it in Africa as well, as, for some reason, bear-dogs weren't particularlly sucessful there... But yes, obviously, all hyaenodontids are now extinct everywhere.
Awesome vid. Most prehistoric mammals are usually neglected by media in favor of the more famous ice age beasts, so it’s always great to see high-quality educational content about the lesser-known and really cool creatures in prehistory.
Literally the only non dinosaur extinct animals that most people know of are dodos, mammoths, and smilodon, which is a little sad because of how many cool animals there are
Man, could you even imagine what it would have been like to witness a giant Hyena? Bear-dogs, giant mustelids, certain saber toothed type cat's, cave lions, short faced bears, giant otters, I mean so many facinating & impressive animals that it's too long to list.
@benmcre and imagine crocodiles back then? They would be the length of the titanic, about four of them 900 feet long and 200 feet at least tall crocodiles posing as ocean liners lol in the pacific and indian oceans, they would so be so huge four to six of them wouldnt fit in the north atlantic ocean. They would get to america in a day or two? Its just hard to get your head around how huge these animals once were? And who and what did they eat a million years ago, just any body and every body they saw? Imagine them going around today, it wouldnt be nice would it. Just being picked up 300 feet high into the sky then chewed and thats it.
It's always nice to hear more about prehistoric mammals that lived before the ice age. Could you do videos on others like entelodonts, chalicotheres, or brontotheres?
Correction: Hyenadonts were active hunters. They lived at a time when closed forests and semi-open woodlands covered much of the land. Their extinction in Europe, North America, and later Asia is partly due to the spread of open grasslands. The Afro-Arabian group was outcompeted by carnivorans arriving at the end of the Miocene.
IKR? I want one. Though, as a lifelong cat owner who has been hunted pretty much daily, I imagine it would be a real ankle biter. I'd name him Sir Nipsalot. :3
An excellent video. Like many of the commenters prior to this, it was refreshing to hear and see a host that was knowledgeable about the topic. Hope they find more fossils of these animals to provide more insight.
This video has several mistakes: Creodonta is no longer a valid clade as it is polyphyletic, the better term is Hyaenodonta. The Oxyaenodonts, which used to be grouped with Hyaenodonts, are now a separate order. The title and some visuals used are just hyenas which is pretty misleading - in general build Hyaenodonts were much more like dogs with a semi plantigrade posture. And of course, Hyaenodonts were actually active predators! Due to their dentition they were ill suited to eat anything other than meat, and it was incredibly unlikely that a quadrupedal mammal would be a pure scavenger (contrary to popular belief, Hyenas hunt a lot of their own food) Some Hyaenodonts were capable of making leaping bounds like cats.
Why don’t you get to make a suggestion creating RUclips Videos Shows all about the Extinct Amphicyons (Bear Dogs) on the next Animalogic coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Fascinating. A contemporary of Hyaenodons is Chasmaporthetis Ossifragus, the little-known North American hyena, that patrolled the high sub-arctic steppes of NA till roughly a million years ago. Though fossil evidence has proven scant, it's thought to have been enormous in stature & no doubt a handful to any fellow travellers of its day.
Hyaenodon's weren't even that closely related to hyenas so I don't understand the title of this video. They were only named that because the type species teeth looked like hyena teeth to the person who described it.
Hi! I'd be very curious to learn more about the bat-hawk from Africa and South Asia. Its very cool looking and its Wikipedia page is very short. It deserves some limelight!
Hyenas, Hyeaenodon, thylacines, dire wolves, mesonychids and creodonts, all turning into wolf like forms independently lmao? Forget carcinization, we got lupinization lol
You've done the giant ancient crocodile, Sarcosuchus. Please finish the rest of the prehistoric Giant Croc Squad: the giant aligator - Deinosuchus the giant caiman - Purrusaurus the giant gharial - Gryposuchus
There's also a fossil of a dinictis with bitemarks of a Hyaenodon horridus. Showing that they we're not hessistant to take on other carnivores and even kill them.
while we're talking about cenozoic mamalian apex predators... DO BEARS! THEN DOGS! THEN BEARDOGS! THEN DOGBEARS! Then maybe hell pigs if you've got the time.🤷♀
They must be the most hated animals of their time. You do your best to hunt an antilope and suddenly this animal sniffs you out and eats you and your catch with a jaw half the size of you

Please make a video about quetzalcoatlus.
Please make a video about nanuqsaurus.
Please make a video on the passenger pigeon

Thats like calling Hipposaurus brinki a tiny prehistoric horse.
Can you do the Ethiopian wolf next

@@madsgrams2069 they’re are extinct though? Okay I misinterpreted your comment I thought you meant all Hyenas past and present

I remember first learning about Hyenadons from a TV documentary, and I've seen them on multiple ones too.
A new Animalogic video is a cherry on top of your Friday
Even better, paleologic!
Indeed
Ahhhh Yay another Paleologic! I love this series so much! Yall do such great work every episode tho so I shouldn't be surprised!
Man, could you even imagine what it would have been like to witness a giant Hyena? Bear-dogs, giant mustelids, certain saber toothed type cat's, cave lions, short faced bears, giant otters, I mean so many facinating & impressive animals that it's too long to list.
There were giant hyenas, Percrocuta, for example. But this highlighted creature was not a giant hyena. It was a Hyenadon, a giant hyena-like animal.
I would love giant mustelids to exist to this day. Having 5 giant ferrets seems like a dream come true tbh

The process of drawing the Hyaenodon was so asmr loved the finished product.
Great work on the video on the Bone-crushing Hyenadon, my friend! Please make more videos on Prehistoric fauna and other creatures from the past.

As a real Danielle fan, you did an Amazing job.
Oooh! Can you do the American Cheetah?
Impresionantes las hienas. Siempre las he admirado.
Excelente programa.
Gracias animalogic.
8:10 Describing Oreodonts as "sheep-sized herbivores" doesn't make them sound any less of a "prehistoric cookie" to a Creodont.
Pains that I won't ever see a house cat sized hyena don
IKR? I want one. Though, as a lifelong cat owner who has been hunted pretty much daily, I imagine it would be a real ankle biter.

I'm currently examining a hyena created assemblage, what perfect timing
I just know this is gonna be a great one

Absolutely fascinating!
However, the real question is:
Did Hyenadonts dip their Oreodonts in milk before eating?
"When Giant Hyenas ruled the world"
"They actually aren't even related"
Bruh
Cool video!
I love this channel so much! Thanks for anther great educational animal video!

Some day you should do a video of the non-related hyenalike animals of South America known as the Borhyenids.
Please please do ArchaeoIndris/ Giant lemurs of Madagascar! I would love to learn more. Thank you for all you do!
Please make a video on Synthetoceras
You should update that paleologic episode about dunkleostous . Our dunk is much smaller now . Science being science.
Love the show. The 4k illustrations are stunning
Hyaenodon's weren't even that closely related to hyenas so I don't understand the title of this video. They were only named that because the type species teeth looked like hyena teeth to the person who described it.
You guys have got to add Basilosaurus or Dorodon next!
Lord, she is so beautiful. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
Yooo love y’all and the channel!
Yayy, one of my favorite channels witha video on one of m6 favorite extinct animals. My mood just improved dramatically
Was that a meerkat instead of a mongoose? Just got a wave of nostalgia for Meerkat Manor.
A meerkat is a type of mongoose.
Damn it sweetheart, I knew Hyaenodon is NOT related to modern Hyenas.
But since I have a current obsession with Creodonts, I simply loved this video.
I wish I could send a camera back to this time period if only just for an hour
Thanks another brilliant vid
Ah I love these can we get purrusaurus next?
Hyenas have always been my favorite animal because they’re so misunderstood
The coelacanth would be a great subject. ✌
Love you guys,
Great video!
Hi! I'd be very curious to learn more about the bat-hawk from Africa and South Asia. Its very cool looking and its Wikipedia page is very short. It deserves some limelight!
Do Megaloceros, aka the Irish Elk or Giant Deer!
Awesome. More of this awesomeness, pls.
Hyenas, Hyeaenodon, thylacines, dire wolves, mesonychids and creodonts, all turning into wolf like forms independently lmao? Forget carcinization, we got lupinization lol
Do argentavis next!! 😁
Where do you get the awesome figurines seen in these videos?
Holding it one handed had me sooo nervous. Even if it’s a replica
Hehe giggle pups 😆
Sarcastadon: "I think I'll have a salad today."
Sarcastadon: "...is what I'd say if I were a vegan. But I'm not!"
lol @ giggle pups! That's hilarious!
Only one species of the hyenas laughs and giggles
What about Dinocrocuta Gigantea?
Thanks
Super Nice
Speaks of a mongoose shows a meerkat, a then calls a Tasmanian tiger, a Tasmanian wolf, there's a few mistakes in this episode today
Please do videos for protoceratidae and horned gophers.
Giggle pups. Nice. Very nice.
4:44 so is the G soft or hard? It gets pronounced both ways in the span of about 5 seconds
Please do Dsungaripterus?
You should do a species of dinosaur 🦖🦕
"honey wake up new paleologic episode"
Fossilized cookie? That joke was 'stale'
You've done the giant ancient crocodile, Sarcosuchus. Please finish the rest of the prehistoric Giant Croc Squad:
the giant aligator - Deinosuchus
the giant caiman - Purrusaurus
the giant gharial - Gryposuchus
Not actually a Hyena :D
There's also a fossil of a dinictis with bitemarks of a Hyaenodon horridus. Showing that they we're not hessistant to take on other carnivores and even kill them.
Mammoths with the wool.
Hyaenodon the Creodont from the Tertiary epochs
I identify as a sitonmyfaceadon. And I pray, would be just that.😂
Talia is sooo preatyy
Now I wanna go back to Ark.
All I'm hearing is Hyena Dong.
Informative
Next you should do a moorish idol
'Giggle Pups' are closer to 'Giggle Kitties' being as they are Felidae.
At 3:25, that's a meerkat not a mongoose
Meerkats _are_ mongooses.
I always thought it was hyaenadont. Now I know.
Nimravids next please
Somewhere between mongoose and red fox
Show pic of meerkat and red fox
Meerkats _are_ mongooses.
Its not paleo based but the north American coywolf would be interesting. Perhaps even the Japanese direwolf.
Excelente trabajo
Giggle Pups? Oh, fur flock sake!
azhdarchids for next! 💚
It's so funny that these things' closest living relatives are...pangolins.
Plz talk about quetzalcoatlus
Oreodont episode PLZ.
Elephant birds next?
Nice
It still blows my mind that hyenas are more closely related to cats than they are to dogs.
while we're talking about cenozoic mamalian apex predators... DO BEARS! THEN DOGS! THEN BEARDOGS! THEN DOGBEARS! Then maybe hell pigs if you've got the time.🤷♀
Why did these ancient predatory scavengers went extinct despite being so widespread? Such a mystery the past of planet Earth is sometimes.
Ambulocetus, please!
Cool😎🐺
Epic
Giggle pups
She's so cute
They must be the most hated animals of their time. You do your best to hunt an antilope and suddenly this animal sniffs you out and eats you and your catch with a jaw half the size of you
