5 Modern Day Animals That Used To Be Giant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Most of us are fascinated with the time of the dinosaurs but after the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs there were still some very interesting creatures that roamed the earth before the time of the time of human dominance. There were once many different species of megafauna that roamed the earth, some of which are related to modern day animals. In this video i will be focusing on these creatures and their relatives as i will be going through 5 modern day animals that used to be giant.

In this video i will bhe covering the megalodon, the grounds sloth, the giant short face kangeroo, the giant short faced bear, and the gigantopithecus.
Sorry for the blowing noise at the start, i couldn't get rid of it for some reason
no worries, its not that bothering
Purussaurus will be better as it is a relatively recent species
Fun fact- King Louie from the Jungle Book was a Gigantopithicus because orangutans are not found in India.
thats an awesome fact i had no idea :)
Did the jungle book take place in india??? I didnt see one telemarketer in the book.
@@GORD444 hehhheeeee
I new that he mentioned that
The song that he sings to mogli contains the lyrics "A gigantopithicus like me"
Here's another five just in case you want to make a Part 2:
1. Glyptodont (armadillo)
2. Castoroides (beaver)
3. Diprotodon (wombat)
4. Dinopithecus (baboon)
5. Titanoboa (snake)
Thylacoleo
A giant wombat sounds deadly
All but one of these were modern animals that lived in ecosystems that exist today and alongside still-living animals.
@@bkjeong4302 what is not?
@@maxl3189
Dinopithecus
Giant Ground were covered in osteoderms!!!?? Man they must have looked like Rancors!!
Thanks Tsuki for this awesome piece of information I used to think Giant Sloths can't surprise me aside from their size
thank you for the support i appreciate it :) it would be very cool if they looked like rancors
They did have them but they were hidden underneath their skin, so they wouldn’t have been visible in real life :(
@@TsukiCove pls make part 2
I have to be honest, you’ve become my favourite nature channel Tsuki
“The Groundsloths of the Caribbean “, I would definitely watch that if it were a movie !
We need a part 2
Do a part 2 it’s so good like maybe you can have crocodile and the bigger version could be the deinosuchus
Sarcosuchus
@@izzatramli4588 it could be either or
Also the purusaurus
Love it when you talk about extinct creatures
A suggestion I have for a video is one that's similar to this one, being 5 herbivorous animals that had/have a predator relative or vice-versa. For instance, the wombat and koala are related and have an extinct relative called the Thylacoleo carnifex or marsupial lion which was the largest marsupial predator to ever exist. There's also the Therazinasaurus, which evolved from a Tyrannosaur ancestor and so was a distant cousin of T-Rex.
Hey, Tsuki. Please make a video about lemmings.
The biggest fish ever lived was Leedsychthis with 20-25 meters
Love the videos on extinct animals, still would love to see a video on the largest extinct birds, either flying or flightless. It’s so interesting that some of the biggest birds in history, along with some of the most powerful flying predatory birds, were able to subsist off of relatively unassuming islands that you’d think wouldn’t have such large, unique creatures.
Btw Biggest flying bird is argentavis magnificiens
i really like your videos and this one in particular, but there is a mistake about megalodon size and naming. their size IS debated, but they were probably not 20 m long. the largest one might have been 15-16 m long, as scientists say. megalodons have also been recently reclassified as Carcharocles megalodon, not Otodus.
i also have ideas for 2nd part (if you are gonna make it some day)
1. Rabbits: Nuralagus rex
2. Crocodiles: Purussaurus braziliensis
3. Pythons: Titanoboa cerrejonensis
4. Wombats: Diprotodon (multiple species)
5. Lemurs: Archaeoindris fontoynontii
Awesome video
Thanks i appreciate it as always :)
Would really love to see a video on the largest extinct predatory birds. Things like the terror birds and in more recent times the haast eagle have gotten a lot of attention which I love since they were some of the most incredible creatures to exist, but at the same time almost no other extinct predatory birds gets any mention. I’d specifically like a top five on flying extinct predatory birds, as you never hear anything about some of the largest ever eagles, hawks, or owls.
Argentavis and Quetzalcoatl are some big ones too
@@shadowbeamgaming6192 Quetzalcoatlus is a pteradon. Not a bird
@@Dinofaniguess sorry my bad
I considered myself quite knowledgeable about animals and thought I knew them all, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the giant kangaroo species. It is cool to learn about new things (even if they are old)😊
Giant ground sloths were MODERN animals in evolutionary and ecological terms. They lived in ecosystems that exist today alongside animals that still exist today.
Outside of the alleged medicinal properties of shark fins soup it doesn't even taste nice, not completely unpalatable but nothing to write home about. Also it's a chore to eat.
Great video. Keep them coming.
Please top 5 largest prehistoric fish
i would do but there's not many images i can use for videos unfortuantly
@@TsukiCove part 1-5
@@TsukiCove Megalodon, Helicoprion, Dunkleosteus, Onchopristis, Rhizodus.
@@TsukiCove I could make some for you for free if you give me a list, I'm an artist and designer.
Simply being bigger than other animals did work for these extinct animals but ended up being their downfall.
Could you do a video on extinct human species, I think that’d be interesting
Thank you again, for the great content. Though it is a year old, I found your channel late. And I refuse to binge the episodes, as I have commented before. Want to think about what I have learned and make them last. Cheers mate
Great video
Megalania would be a good candidate for part 2.
Love your show
thank you i appreciate it :)
What about beavers (the Giant Beaver) and rabbits (Nuralagus)?
i was going to include a few more but there's very few images i can use for those creatures
Soo fun video's tsuki
good job tsuki
Can You Do Part Two Of Five Reasons Modern Day Animals That Used To Be Giants Please!!!
can u make a video about beavers, i think they are cool :)
Random person: do u fear chickens?
Me: of course not.
Therizinosaurus: Hello
My understanding is that it was the evolution of Orcas and Great Whites, in combination with sites to deliver pups disappearing, that lead to Megalodon becoming extinct, and not a decrease in the global temperature in of itself. If I'm not mistaken,, Megalodon was mesothermiic, and could handle colder waters.
It's still a debated topic but even though the megalodon was mesothermiic it wouldn't be able to survive in the coldest waters like the whales. There were plenty of other predators that the megalodon had to compete with and only some of them have survived to this day such as the great whites and the orca. With climate change it always seems to be the largest animals that are worst effected and In my opinion it seems to be a mixture of competion, climate change and their prey adapting/disappearing
It was a combination of several things.
1) The whales Megalodon fed on were being replaced with species that were either too large or too fast for the sharks to hunt.
2) Orca and Great White Sharks we're main rivals. At the time Orca were beginning to find methods of larger animals.
3) Most of the megafauna that lived alongside Megalodon had mostly disappeared.
4) The populations of Megalodon were already decreasing as time went by.
5) While Megalodon might have handled colder waters, it couldn't handle arctic cold waters. So when the Pleistocene began to hit the waters got TOO cold for the sharks to handle.
U should do nurugulus
Gigantopithecus my beloved
Tsuki can you please make species of extinct animals series please please please please please please please
When i hear about the Intro Song it remebers me of andreas klebrig by space frogs
Elephant birds, moa, Haast's Eagle, giant faced bears, giant ground sloths, terror birds, prehistoric armadillo, cave lion's, dire wolves.
nice sharing...hi....I'am from INdonesia
Megalodon only evolved to die after climate change and whales moving to polar regions BRuH
It was more than that, the whales it fed on were being replaced by whales both large and small that were either too large or too fast for the shark to hunt.
It also had to face competition with more successful species like the Great White. At the same time Orca pods were evolving to take on larger prey.
Factor in whales being migratory and the climate changing. And don't forget the population of Megalodon began to decrease overtime.
Simple changes were what eventually led to its extinction.
bit dissapointed that with the Gigantopithecus that you dint mention bigfoot or Yeti.
but that would be a different top5
Bigfoot/Yeti.
Mokele mebebi
Nessie.
to name a few :)
They deserve to live together with us, human.
moment i saw the title ik the sloth would be on here aha and really any other animal from the ice age
Your content is pretty cool. I like how each video is formatted and each informs on a specific subject. It’s making me think of doing my own research projects for fun. I am curious about you however. Particularly, I’d like to know what you do for a living, what is your background in animals, and why you chose to call your channel Tsuki. I’m guessing you like Japanese culture. Can you do a video explaining all this?
🎵"It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad" 🎶🎵
🎵"Honey, don't you love me and you know that makes me sad"🎵
🎶"It's just a cigarette like you always to do" 🎶
🎵"I was different then, I don't need them to be cool" 🎵
The short faced bears look like werewolves bc of the big legs
It's kinda crazy that sloths are great swimmers. Be honest, you thought they'd just sink, too
This comment is a bit late but if you do another guess the skull video then you should do the hammerhead bat
i do like making those videos and i think they're fun but they never perform very well but i'll get around to making another one at some point
Big
The largest bear ever is now thought to be Ursus Maritimus Tyrannus also known as the giant polar bear they were the largest mammalian land predator ever and would be able to kill any living or extinct predator.
They were also 2 to 3 times larger in height and weight in comparison to polar bears.
The premise only works for sloths as bears, apes, mako sharks and kangaroos are still mostly giant, just a little less giant.
But this time with woolly mammoths and Columbian Mammoths!!🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣
In china they still eat shark fin soup but now they are starting to use synthetic fins
Oy
Megalodon shark size: 50 to 53 to 65 feet
the closest extinct relatives of whales and hippos is the andrewsarchus which is found in china and mongolia
Some people think gigantopethicus is still alive and what Bigfoot is.
... The teeth were sold as medicine?
I think it was more as a good luck thing or satus symbol
As ingredients in chinese medicine
Would Giant Apes be called just Giants in cultural history? Or, if there are giant apes, why are giant hominids not possible?
Giant Sloth is the best Kaiju ever made by God himself!
(This is what I believe and this is my opinion!)
Damn isn’t it crazy how climate change occurred before humans, really makes ya think
You forgot wombats
Sharknado was a great movie. It Was almost nominated for an academy award.

I kind of like you presentations, except for the evolutionary preaching. This worldview is built on a house of cards. Modern discoveries have dismantled evolution. I think Arnie would agree. 😊
#1. The meteor extinction idea is complete conjecture. That story has been repeated over the years, but it’s just a wild guess that caught on.
#2. Giant sloths related to ant eaters and armadillos ? That is an idea formed without proof or sufficient evidence. Why do you state it like it’s a fact ? In reality, the fossil record shows the world was much more biodiverse in the past. Animals had greater genetic variability than today. Adaptation and other factors have caused species to loose the genes for great size over the years. Far from evolving, life on this planet shows strong evidence that it is running down like a clock.
3. Mummified ground sloth soft tissue is interesting. We have discovered dinosaur soft tissue as well. This is VERY strong evidence to cause us to doubt the extinction event of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Soft tissue could not last that long.
4. Apes are not our close relatives. The idea that humans are 98% genetically the same as apes is a myth. The fact that we have similarities shows we have a common designer, not common ancestry.
5. I find it strange that you say the giant short faced bear is not related to a polar bear, yet say a giant sloth is related to armadillos and ant eaters. Your evolutionary assumptions are inconsistent and totally unscientific. I know that is the mantra, and your just repeating what you have been conditioned to believe, but it is modern day mythology in light of the evidence.
You know about the newly discovered tetras right? These tetras are just discovered a few hours ago, if you don’t know, watch Coralfish12g🙂
NO
the kodiak bear is the biggest bear species
The Kodiak bear isn't a species, its a subspecies of brown bear and although they can get very large the polar bear is larger on average
@@TsukiCove largest species of brown bear then and the Kodiak bear reaches sizes greater than the polar bear
Predatory whales??
the maximum size of the megalodon was 14-15 meters as far as I know, because its primitive gills would not have pulled out a larger carcass
Megalodon‘s might still be alive really deep in the ocean were we can not go
Here's another five just in case you want to make a Part 2:
1. Glyptodont (armadillo)
2. Castoroides (beaver)
3. Diprotodon (wombat)
4. Dinopithecus (baboon)
5. Titanoboa (snake)
