Showing my guinea pigs this video so they can be proud of their seafaring ancestors
CaityCupcakes This is the most wonderful thing I have read on the Internet all day.
look for a book called Great Big Guinea Pigs by Susan L. Roth...a great book to read out loud to guinea pigs and a lot of fun to read to yourself as well... (and yes i have the book)
🤗🤗🤗
I ate guinea pig in Ecuador.... it was actually the best tasting chicken I ever had.

Definitely want to know more about the horse sized rodents???!!!
I did some research ( because as a horse girl, horse size doesn't tell me much because they can weigh between a 100 up to 2100 kg ) the sources vary, it's weight could be 350, 800, 1000 and even 1500 kg depending on the source. Sources seem to be a little more consistent when it comes to dimensions, 2,7 or 3 m from nose to tail and 1.5 m in height ( which makes me wonder why there is this huge difference in weight estimates, because I can't believe it to be obese ) however everything is an estimate as the only thing that has been found is a skull ( of 53 cm ) and an incisor ( of more than 30 cm ) which has been found in 1987 by an amateur paleontologist, and it's finding has been published in 2008. So so far there isn't much to report on, but I bet when they know more eons will make a video. Also here is a link with some more info, www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2008/01/south-america-large-rodent-discovery-animals/
@@Cora.T This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this information, hopefully more examples turn up soon!
I want to know what they ate. Some rodents will chew on anything and I could iimagine them eating other animals given the opportunity.
there's an episode of South Park that tells you all about it...
@@jchesterphotography no problemo 😃, yeah me to
This channel is just magic. Not the first time I have jumped into a video with a thought of "this isn't exactly my area of interest" only to be thoroughly engaged, hence why I do it every time.
Hear, hear!!
Exactly! I just made a similar comment, that this is quickly becoming my favorite RUclips channel!

@@pennavedc Rodents made it to South America before felines! But there were other predators there already so moot point from their perspective
I could see a storm off Africa ripping a tree over into the ocean that a few families of rats took shelter from the storm and got carried out to sea. They could eat the remaining leaves of the tree that the storm didn't rip off to get the residual moisture for the week or so journey. When they made landfall in South America if there were few predators they would breed quickly and fill almost every niche.
Great theory
There could have been rains Midway in the ocean too. Shallow depressions in the leaves or wood or absorbtion by wood could have led to stores of fresh water
Imagine more than one tree where they're standing upright with their roots tangled together in one giant, buoyant mass. I think it's conceivable that this raft could stay largely intact for a week or so out in the ocean and sustain life for that long considering that its hitchhikers could derive enough water from their food to survive.
Yeah, until we discover that these landmass were actually still connected in ways we haven't been able to grasp yet.
For example they show the map of africa moving as a whole but skeletons of whales have been found in the sahara desert so ... it actually changed quite a lot and this mainstream theory of drifting continents is valid until we can do more advanced underwater researches.
@@jeanzlarg6686 we’re well aware of continental drift. we have whale skeletons since whales evolved in the sea between india/pakistán and africa
Capybaras are just the kindest most adorable rodents ever. Great baby sitters as well but unfortunately everyone in the place the live in the same places as Jaguars, Anacondas and Caimans.
Dude capybaras are thuff.
Some areas of south america are now seing a overpopulation of they becase the only anima that can hunt one frequently is a jaguar, and they are in danger.
Well they're lucky they don't live in Eurasia continent
Sell em as pets if they are overpopulating im sure someone would take a couple
I'm actually from Brazil. Here they might live without natural predators in some low density urban/rural areas being taken care by the townsfolk as cultural heritage and part of the local culture and identity
@@chadoftoons Imagine that news.
Capybara crisi in south america, thousands or capybaras are going to the U.S. in the search of a better life.
But local rodents fear they will take theyr jobs as dam builders and stick things.
This sounds like it could make an epic animated movie in the vein of Ice Age. You could reference the new world primates doing the same thing in response. "If those damn rodents can do it, we can do it better!" Throw in some animal pirates, social drama on the raft etc.
Give the animals names that spoof Viking and Italian explorers.
Or was it mostly the Spanish that charted South America? Anyway, continental discovery spoof.
You have your pitch to DreamWorks ready!
Isn't this just continental drift but on plants and with rodents/monkeys?
Don’t let Disney hear about this. Pitch it to Laika! Stop motion animation would work perfectly for a story like this.

The island hopping rafting makes a lot more sense.
I always wondered how they could cross without food and water, not be sick and weak, avoid predation, and find others of their kind to mate with. It was like chance upon chance falling in their favor.
Can you do a video about Pronghorns and other extinct Antilocapridae? I never looked into them until recently, but it blows my mind to learn that 1) they are the fastest animal in the Western hemisphere because they adapted to outrun the extinct American cheetah, leaving them with a phantom adaptation, and 2) that their closest living relatives are giraffes and they only look like antelope from convergently evolving to fill the American prairie niche. Please!
Their adaptation still works really well because the rest of the predators were slower. So it still helps because they can basically outrun everything. Meaning predators have to really sneak up on them to even get a good chance.
I wasn't aware that anyone considered this to be impossible, as many Pacific islands could only have been colonized by terrestrial species via rafting. Hawaii, for example, is 2100 km from the nearest land mass, Midway, a coral atoll where no terrestrial species could have developed, and over 3000 km from the nearest continental land mass. Humans only arrived in Hawaii about 2000 years ago, and the diversity of Hawaii's terrestrial species shows that the vast majority of them had to have arrived long, long before that. Hawaii could ONLY have gotten terrestrial life via rafting, and the *current* distance between South America and Africa is less than the distance from Hawaii to anything habitable.
That's probably how some of the terrestrial inverts of the subantarctic got there too; some snail in the Falklands could've used the Furious Fifties or Roaring Forties to get to the Kerguelen islands and later used birds to spread to the Prince Edward, Amsterdam, Heard and Crozet chains.
@Cody Last Name You think a bird carried an animal 3000 km, then dropped it and it was still healthy enough to be alive? Albatrosses travel about 300 km per day, and they're the absolute peak of evolution for long-distance flight. You're saying that a bird grabbed prey and flew for at least 10 days without eating it, and the prey was healthy enough to reproduce after 10 days without food or water. Not to mention that this bird would have to be one adapted for long-distance ocean flight, but still hunt on land and be able to carry prey, something aquatic birds can't do because of their webbed feet.
I dunno about all that. Iwould take a look at this article on the origins of Hawaiian life.

"These are fish."
- some Spanish priest.
*Estos son peces
or portuguese
Thats not wrong though, during the middle ages they would partake in Lent. During this time the only meat they could have was fish so basically everything was a fish including Puffins and some geese. If it touches water its a fish.
In the late 1800's, there was a court case here in the US where it was legally determined that Whales and Dolphins are, dispite of their similarities to mammals, in fact fish. The case was mostly due to taxation of fish as opposed to "sea mammals" such as Otters, Manatiees, and Seals, and becuase fish were taxed less the fishing industry back the "whales are fish" side. Plus there was a lot of religious rhetoric used in the argument thay wouldn't stand up in a modern court.
The point of this is that there is actually a legal precedent for considering oceanic mammals as fish.
I saw a cartoon about this as a kid. It was called "An American Tail."
That’s not what An American Tale is about

Hahahha. So cute to hear Kellie saying Capybara! Great Channel.
In Brazil we call it capiVara (y and i sounds the same) and it is a very very common animal. Even in big metropolis you can find them. Very resilient. It's amazing to learn something about its origins...
This had me looking up why beavers are in the Americas and in Europe. Turns out they are two separate specious that are only superficially similar.
Very closely related species though.
for some reason the scene of the French Taunters from Monty Python and the Holy Grail comes to mind...but then i have a strange sort of brain that goes off on wild tangents like that and leaves me to wonder what's going to happen next... oh look! a squirrel!!!! gotta catch it.... *runs off to chase squirrels in the rain*

I have read that the raft method helped put tortoises that would become Galapagos Tortoises and Iguanas on the Galapagos so long ago .
Ancestors if today's Lemurs migrating to madagascar is another good example that's has a lot of documented evidence
Galapagos tortoises are theorized to gave evolved from sea turtles who traveled to the islands and never left. If so, then they were probably "blown" off course, like the finches.

here is the thing, scientists tend to eliminate options out of ideology. The drifting contienents theory is the mainstream one, therefore everybody bites to it and every researches has to stick with it.
That eliminates quite a lot of options... and discoveries.

“Rodents of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.”

If we have observed such raft migrations in the modern era, it seems almost certain that it must have happened quite a lot over thousands, let alone millions of years.

I'd like to know how bats evolved flight
Biologists would love to know too! Unfortunately still very little is known about it, and last I heard we still don't have any transitional bat fossils, nor any clear pre-bat ancestors/relatives. Bats just pop up in the fossil record (I think about 50 mya) as clearly powered-flight capable animals. Though, I heard that genetic studies of bat lineage relationships suggest multiple independent origins of flight in bats, which is just wild
@@KellyClowers They ended up making an episode covering bats, even if there's a lack of fossils for the bat's transition.
So rodents sailed the oceans blue and discovered the Americas more than 40 million years ago?

As a guinea pig owner, I could see my guinea pig just chilling as he drifted off in the ocean.
The video was informative and awesome and but all through it, i couldn't stop admiring how metal this amazing woman seems with the braid, the tattoo and the sweet sweet intellectual voice.
the sleeve tatt is also rather impressive
Sleeve tattoos are this decade's tramp stamp. Not saying this lady is a tramp, I'm just pretty damn sure we will look back at this in disgust some day.
I think she isn't attractive at all.
To each his own~
You are probably even more metal I suppose!
Fascinating! I just learn of the ancestral origins of my guinea pigs (love them with all my heart) and their wild relatives. Its very amazing how much diversity and unique wonders the animal kingdom truly display, and they triumph the odds to became a successful family of creatures. The poor critters lost at sea must have had it rough with little food or safe drinking water available to them, but they were survivors, and fate had been waiting for them in the distant land that will become their new forever home. I am grateful for their journey to the new world, because now I have two wonderful guinea pigs that I cherish. :) I love nature (even if its frighteningly brutal sometimes. But that's life.)
Could you cover the evolution of blood?
Arthropods don't even need veins. I forget how their blood works. There are arthropods and mollusks that use copper instead of iron in their blood.
Seem like they have now.
I have a perfect Chinchilla. Her ancestors braved the ocean before mine were walking on two legs. Now she rides my shoulders
Just some ideas:
1) The Evolution of the Theory: a metacommentary on the development of the theory, starting with Grecophilosophers into transmutation and upward, giving people a full understanding of how scientists are where we are today
2) ecosystems through the ages: talk about how the Pleistocene shaped many ecosystems into what we know today
3) the mysterious radiation of Amazonian birds, thought at one time to be the result of fragmentation during the Pleistocene but now it’s uncertain the Amazon rainforest was actually all that fragmented
4) any number more cladistic videos: cervids, bovids, felids, you already did equids, etc.
5) the evolutionary science of selective breeding and sire affect, get people to watch because of man’s best friend and the ‘one true master of us all’ (cats)
6) Talk about the de-ossification of Myxini, that could be fun, and what actually makes a vertebrate and an invertebrate... in fact...
7) vertebrate Evolution and the anatomical indicators we use to identify this evolution
Just some ideas to throw out. As always superb work! :)
great ideas!

Great video, as always! You guys should do one on the origin of the Giraffoidea and all of the giraffe relatives that are extinct but looked super cool and odd. Other suggestions I have that I think would be great: evolutionary history of the Hemichordata, a deeper look at the Pterosauria (the mechanics of flight for members of this clade and the diversity of it), and the Rhynchocephalia and how the tuatara has managed to outlive all of its relatives! Keep up the good work!

The life of the Earth
I'd like to see a video on all of the different "lives" that the Earth has lived. The Earth has been covered in lava, covered nearly in ice, really warm, a series of ice ages, had one continent, had no continents, had no life for a very long time, had only bugs living on its land masses, had way more O2 in its atmosphere, and may have even been hit by a moon! (the Earth may have even had rings around it at one point!!!) These weren't just quick passing moments but millions of years! The Earth is an old lady with a trillion stories to tell. Can you give us a brief history on that to bring it back to life for us?
I'd like to see that. It'd probably need to be a full 3-hour playlist, rather than just a single 5-minute video.
*goes to grab popcorn*
@@thomassaldana2465 It could be as long as they wanted it to be, that's for sure. Last time that story was told it took 4.5 billion years.
@@cadenrolland5250 im down to see that count me in
I'd also like to see PBS Eons due a brief 4.5 billion year timeline of all the geological epochs in the Earth's history! That would really help put things in perspective!
Caden Rolland I mean, that’s this whole channel. Like that’s it’s purpose. If you want videos that cover larger swaths of natural history go back to the earlier videos on this channel, like the one that gives a definition of eons and the one that was about plate tectonics. These more specifically focused videos are being made more frequently on this channel because the big thematic ones have already been done. They even have a playlist for those overview videos I believe. Enjoy!

I would love it if you guys did an episode on various dating methodologies. I'm not sure but I think carbon dating can't be used to date things on time scales of millions of years?
So I'd love to know how the clay (and hence teeth) was dated to 41 million years. Also, the concept of genetic dating is very interesting. I'm sure there are even more techniques that allow scientists to piece together the ages of various fossils/rocks/etc. It would make a great video.
I don’t see why anyone would doubt rafting as an almost certain explanation - as noted we see it happening now within our own short timeline and back then we’re talking hundreds of thousands of years.

@Third time Lucky Well hello there, vaultboy!
Seconded.
This is my favourite tv show.
Capybaras are probably so chill because their ancestors were calm enough to not freak out and drown while being taken across the Atlantic Ocean by Lady Luck on a raft of lawn clippings and turds.
I would love to just own a huge plot of land with a lake, and have some of these guys living within the fencing of my property. Just chillin' there.
Maybe there were even rafting rodents evolved to survive floods, who then got carried away...
Rodents today are known for drastically changing their homes, like us, sometimes building dams, sometimes eroding river beds, so why not floating homes?
This was one of the most fascinating episodes to date and has opened my mind to new possibilities regarding animal and people group migration.
I'm envious of that lady's hair. Her braid looks really nice.

I would love to know how Creatures survived the Cretaceous extinction to live on today yet not one dinosaur besides bird species. What is known on that subject?
@Dan Ryan but crocodilians... Turtles... That prehistoric fish... What constituted one surviving and not the other especially in so many different ecosystems? The size point does make sense but crocodilians were huge before and after the extinction... I just would like to think there is more to it then small creatures survived but maybe you are right.
I think in some cases luck was also a factor. It wasn't like birds, crocodiles, mammals, snakes, etc were unaffected. The majority of them also died but not enough to make them completely extinct.
Burrowing could've increased the chance of survival, animals that could live on dead/decaying matter also had a big advantage as did animals that didn't need a lot of food (by being either small, cold blooded or both).
One likely factor according to research is diet. Metabolically active animals such as Dinosaurs Pterosaurs and Mammals were all hit especially hard however the surviving groups in addition to their small size share a lot of physical characteristics with seed eating and or Cashing animals such as dentition in surviving mammals and toothless beaks adapted for eating seeds in the surviving lineages of birds. Looking at fossil beds that cover the end Cretaceous extinction such as the famous Hell Creek Formation show a devastation of all herbivores and carnivores(particularity insectivores) which at the time made up the bulk of both groups yet none of which appear after the extinction. Low activity animal groups such as Crocodilians and Salamanders on the other hand were virtually unaffected with in the case of salamanders well over 90% of species carrying on as if nothing happened. This supports the primary driver of extinction being complete ecological collapse
Additionally recent core sample studies of the Chicxulub crater itself reveal that the impact site was particularly rich in volatile fine particulates such as hydrocarbons and sulfur which were ejected high into the atmosphere in quantities which models suggest could have led to up to three yeas of perpetual darkness.
That would be sufficient to lead to a complete global collapse of the ecosystem resulting in a mass extinction of flora which resulted in a cascade of impacts that led to all primary consumers unable to supplement their diet to starve to death. Afterwards once the initial carrion boon was exhausted carnivores would similarly have succumbed. Only the lucky few mammals and birds that adapted to eat the non perishable seeds were able to hold on long enough for the sun to once again support photosynthesis allowing the food chain to reestablish or so the theory goes.
