    The Cambrian Period, which was the earliest period in the Palaeozoic Era, is widely renowned for the utterly bizarre creatures that flourished during the time. One group that was especially prolific and diverse during the Cambrian were the Radiodonts. If you have any interest in prehistoric life, then you may have heard of undoubtedly the most well-known member of this group: Anomalocaris, widely hailed as the earliest known apex predator. Anomalocaris, however, seems to have hogged the spotlight, and the sheer diversity of the Radiodonts is resultantly quite under-appreciated. So, I think it’s fair to say they deserve some long-awaited attention, especially since a fascinating new species has recently been discovered. Meet Titanokorys gainesi!

    I would sell my soul for a cambrian fish tank, could you imagine how cool it would be.

      I've thought the same, ever since primary school. I remember when all the other kids in my grade were going through their "dinosaur phase" and I just couldn't shut up about the Cambrian.
      Also many Cambrian animals would be the perfect size for a fish tank of ordinary dimensions.

      @@BugsandBiology same, people would talk about t-rex and I’d just be over there after watching walking with monsters 20 times saying “anomolocaris was earths first super predator!!!!!!!!!” It was always my favorite time period.

      Such a pity the Cambrian animals are so overlooked. Not saying the popular stuff like T. rex, Velociraptor and O. megalodon aren't interesting, but there's so much more out there beyond the handful of well-known species. And dinosaurs never quite interested me as much as the Palaeozoic fauna.

      Awesome! Yeah, I like variety, but it's a fine line to tread. You gotta have enough variety to keep your channel from becoming overly monotonous and repetitive, but not so much that it loses any sense of focus.

Keep going though, sometimes persaverence paying off can be a matter of days. I hope this becomes a viable second income for you at some point my friend.

      @@BugsandBiology Thanks :) Walking with Monsters said their whole body was armored, but most other sources say only their mouth & arms were hard, so I'm not sure which is correct.

    • @BugsandBiology

      I'd be more inclined to agree with the latter, since the rest of the body is seldom preserved when compared to the mouth and frontal appendages.

      It's a recurring issue that seems to be rather random; some people experience it on certain videos, others don't. I've been aware of it for ages, but have never managed to understand/fix it. Glad you enjoyed otherwise anyway!
