Always amazes me, like how Forrest points out with colonies of undiscovered walruses, how little we actually pay attention to what we document
I love the passion when Forrest talks about the stellar sea cow
I would have loved for them to talk about the preserved Moa claw they found in a cave in New Zealand. I still think it’s extinct, but it’s weird how the claw still had flesh on it.
it may have been mummified somehow
Because it was found in a cave …. Caves are weird like that with preserving animals and other living things
Caves are usually very different compared to the surrounding environment, I heard that some researchers also found mummified ground sloth skin in a cave as well (source: Museum Alive documentary with David Attenborough)
There are caves full of ground sloth shit. True story.
Didn’t they date that back to like 3,000 years ago?
pls do not stop these until you run out of animals to use, it's too good
"believed to have gone extinct 66 million years ago, the brachiosaurus"
"ALIVE!"
@@willgibson2924 its true tho, it might be still wandering across africa or amazon
@@Luqi_ It would evolve for the resources
Well we haven’t gotten one of these in a long time.
don't worry, we're always declaring species extinct
Recently watched extinct or Alive season 2. I believe that many others would second this: please bring Mitch on one of the podcasts. He'd have lots of interesting things to say since he's worked with Forrest and Pat for a long time.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!
Same!
Same
“They’ve got sheep”
As an Aussie, this tickled me 😂
When is your next show??? Love this, love your show. Most amazing information about animals anywhere!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for another great daily dose of wildlife goodness. You guys rock.
The great auk was the original penguin-the name "penguin" was used for it and then when they went extinct was applied to the bird we call penguin today.
It got the scientific name "Pinguinus inpennus" over any other kind of penguin
Kinda reminds me of when Australia strait up stole Antarctica’s name 🤣
@@MrWizeazz Ha! 😆 Power move.
So what you are saying is that is defently penguin
Auks are pinguins, and penguins are Spheniscids (if that makes any sense...)
This was actually a lot more interesting than I expected it to be
I just found this and now I'm hooked keep it up yall are great
This is amazing & I could listen to 100's of these shows!
There is a set of antlers from an Irish elk at chillingham castle down the road. And it spanned the entire 15ft fire place.
It was terrifying massive compared to the tiny racks id taken off red stag and roe deer from up the road in Scotland.
dude I saw an elk with huge antlers and I cant even imagine the size of some of these things. we basically lucked out because there is so little oxygen in the atmosphere today compared to previous times in history
486 out of 600 claim that they have sighted the Steller Sea Cow.
Wait really?
@@mirage3423 this was 9 months ago, I assume I jusy calculated the percentage into a number.
This is the best youtube series please keep it going!
Guys this is what we need as people- fun , great info , lots of great things. Bravo ! This is why i love animals
8:53 It is so sad that that bird was hunted to extinction. Seeing that taxidermied specimen next to a couple of humans really drives home just how huge these things actually were. That is a straight up dinosaur. I mean, technically birds ARE dinosaurs, but these Giant Moa, exemplify that more than any other modern bird I think. Put teeth in it's jaw and stick a tail on it and you've got a fairly large theropod. The size of this animal, and how recently it existed, also leads me to take the stories from the natives in the Amazon about, what they call, the "Mapinguari", a bit more seriously. The creature they describe sounds like the Giant Ground Sloth. They talk about this huge, 12-15 ft tall animal, that has backwards feet, and skin that arrows bounce off of. The backwards feet makes sense, because the way ground sloths walked, they walked on the sides of their feet, and this caused their toes and claws to curl under their feet and point backward. So their footprints would have looked like they had backwards feet. And then, because of a very well-preserved Giant Ground Sloth, "Megatherium", hide that was found in a cave, we know that they had osteoderms in their skin. These are, basically, small plates or nodules, of bone, that were under the skin and acted as armor. So it is very reasonable that their light-weight, hand-made bows, would have had a very hard time penetrating the hide of these animals. I don't think they exist anymore, but going by the stories of these natives, it sounds like they may have been around up until just a few generations ago. You can still find caves in the area that are, literally, FULL of dung from these animals. And it's not fossilized. It's just old and dried up. The elders of some of these villages say that they can still remember the sounds that the ground sloths made when they were trying to scare you away. They say that they make this very loud, bellow, or roar. There's even evidence in some of the caves of some tribes possibly domesticating some of these creatures, and sharing large caves with them. Or, at least domesticating the young, maybe until they got too big. I don't really know, but it is fascinating. I would love it if Forrest managed to find an extant population of Megatherium. That would be so cool.
I have a necklace made from Moa bones
imagine what animals modern humans lived with 100k or 300k years ago or the humans of 1 million years ago...
Wow, very interesting for sure. I'd second the request for Forrest and the group to discuss this one
Dude moa aren't around but the ostrich emu and the cassowary. Intense birds. Wish the moa hadn't gone extinct but apparently they were really tasty and it's way back in the day when people didn't understand so it's kinda expected.
@@chronicawareness9986the Australian aboriginals lived in Australia at rhe same time as that giant ancient komodo dragon like thing. Natives in north america had dire wolves and short faced bears around. Along with some other gnarly animals. It must have been nuuuts
I just came across this channel and the game and I freaking love it don’t stop doing it and the guy that knows what every animal is really knows his stuff to know about that many animals and the fact he knows about some of the animals that lived long ago but animals that normally people don’t really think about like the dinosaurs that is common to talk about to know so much about those not talked about is awesome he knows them from just a brief description of there history and place of origin without seeing a picture that takes a lot of research hats off to him
Hey man, ever heard of commas or periods?
I feel like it was weird where Forrest just finished talking about how extensive the auk's range is and discredits it because he looked in a couple faroe islands. Greenland has so many more islands that probably get looked at less
or the fact that we cant go find the sea cow its absolutely impossible that these fishermen actually saw them because you cannot see them in murky water that no one wants to hunt in so how did we hunt them to presumable extinction or is such a farfetched idea to assume they were tooo friendly and learned to stay the fuck away from boats???
seriously? this is why so many species have gone extinct. because a bunch of trigger happy idiots decided that the animals cannot go extinct. use your brain if there was actual proof we would have found them again before now.
@@ashleytaylor7621 first point, sea cows are mammals and mammals breath air. so the sea cow would have continuously go up to the surface to breath. second point, they were massive creatures like what the video says. third point they where herbivores feeding on kelp and algae in shallow water. if they were still alive we would see them, not just a few superstitious fishermen.
@@jonathandefoy6376 Never heard of coelacanth? It's a fish we thought was extinct for millennia but was actually just well hidden and humans hadn't happened to bump into any for a long time.
Not like its a small fish either, they're nearly half the size of a man.
@@jonathandefoy6376 so what you’re actually trying to say is you have never seen them because you and everyone else don’t want to go over to this place as stated in this video so therefore the people that do live they’re say they have seen them are all liars because you know more than someone actually seeing something with they’re own eyes ahhhhhhh my bad my bad I take it all back I love how you say if we could see them then we would and then someone says I’ve seen it without even looking around you go no you haven’t and get into a massive ball of rage..
Love these segments!
I would love to hear about the megatherium. Forrets once talked about it on the joe Rogan podcast. And I would love to hear more
my ex wife has a podcast if you want to hear a giant ground sloth talk
@@spritemultipack what’s the channel?
As an Australian living in New Zealand you are 100% correct💯😂
Please, give us more of these!
I just watched an old episode of Naked and Afraid. Forrest introducing himself by making techno sounds and dancing will keep me up for a few nights
Great segments gents keep them going. I’d like to know what current endangered species, if declared extinct, would absolutely suck the wind out of Forrest’s sails more than prohibition coming back.
Loving the daily videos guys
Loving these extinct or alive clips
Please Keep up the good videos guys! Love it!
I’m a kiwi and I completely agree! I do like some of the cool birds we have but I’ve actually moved to Australia so I can have a pet tarantula lol!
Really cool pets, I live in Melbourne and used to have one until I lost her on an excursion I snuck her too
You could have just kept Porrhothele antipodianna.
Why not a Sydney funnel web ?
New Zealand is basically Australia
@@tylerwestman5258 hardly, nz doesn't even have any snakes they don't even have crocodiles
Love the content took me a year to find out but im currently binging
Yes! Definitely keep this going!
The YT algo was hitting with this one bro. I subbed.
This was really cool! I love it!
As a new Zealander who loves our endemic birds, I've never been so offended.
best series on youtube now
I wish i found something i had a passion for as Forrest has with biology....he was even named Forrest...destined to work with wildlife
You just gained my subscription - Congats!
He said “it’s a flightless bird that was last seen in (whatever year he said lol)”
Forrest made a face like “wait…I already looked for this…”
This is the best series!
Even though all these animals were from different habitats, they're all Forrest creatures.
Umm, great auk and stellars seal not so much
I live in Central Florida and fish very regularly above and below the water. Manatees are very difficult to see when you are not looking for them, it would not surprise me if a 30ft version still exists and isn't seen regularly. Also, whales have changed their behaviors to exploit/avoid us more than once in history, what if only the smartest ones survived using new tactics and passed those strategies to their offspring.
Great insight from experience
Keep this goin....and if you could can we maybe get longer run times, like 30 min episodes? Longer podcasts would be great too..
This podcast is cool. Definitely sub
im from albania, and due to its mountainous enviroment, these pockets form small lakes from rain, and i see hundreds of freshwater birds every 6th time i pass i would say, from pelicans to egrets flamingos plovers ducks geese just crazy numbers and varity, maybe a consideration in the future
This was fun. I want to hear his thoughts please on the Mammoths apparently sighted in Sibiria, and also the Megaledon.
Megalodon def doesnt exist
I'm a kiwi but totally agree with forrest not much to look at in terms of wildlife but the landscape is amazing
The “Irish Elk” has elk in the name, looks like a moose, and is actually a deer, albeit a freaking juggernaut of a deer. I sure hope I live to be able to visit a de-extinction theme park with cloned animals like these.
There is nothing i want to more than to ride one into battle to reclaim the north
@@conormulligan7966 From whom? You taking back Hyperborea?
I'm pessimistic about that working out. 😕
@@MeanBeanComedy the north as in northern ireland, the crown will fall
Aren’t moose called Elk in Europe?
There's no way the sea cows are still around in the Aleutians. They were inshore creatures known for a tendency to swim up to boats, and they were huge. People want them to exist, but they don't anymore. There were huge battles fought there during WW2 and the islands were a key theater of the Cold War. Plus it's part of one of the largest fisheries in the world. And it's studied by a metric ton of marine biologists, so yeah they're gone.
How is this not more popular
The great hawk still exists in Lofoten, Norway. We call it Lundefugl.
Love this
How he feels about the Sea Cow, I've felt about the Thylacine since Howling 3
I just watched video of a huge elk today. looked exactly like the extinct elk in this video
Saber toothed cat are believed to have become extinct because they were ambush predators rather than a pursuing predators, when the the climate began to cause more forested areas to become open plain they were not able to hunt prey as effectively due to this specialist way or predation. Anyway awesome vid guys, love this stuff.
love this show
i think the coolest thing about new zealand is despite barely having any reptiles they have something called a tuatara thats neither a snake nor a lizard but its own thing
Great show
I love the extinct animal game. My favourite segment!
The Irish "elk" is not really an elk. Its closest living relative is the Fallow deer. Not the elk(wapiti) or elk(moose)
So good!
Chuck jones did the white seal and in it he followed the sea cow to a special island where seals would be left alone. That was based on a book written in late 19 th century. So could still be around
My first and only tattoo is of the irish elk, one of my favorite animals.
Ivory Bill Woodpecker was just put back on the extinct list but I believe that there are some in the swamps. Great Dismal swamps for one.
If I'm not mistaken elk can be used for all kinds of big cloven hooked mammals I may be mixing that up with moose but can't remember
I feel like I've seen a couple of Auk in real life when I was in Bornholm. But then again, I was like 5 years old and knew nothing about animals other than wolves
I'm pumped rogan gave Galante a platform. Dude is the man
This series is 👌🏽
Love the game - keep it up
great stuff
Do you lads think you’re gonna be doing like proper expeditions and filming them for RUclips? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
EoA is one of the most interesting and best things I’ve watched and I think the place for that kind of RUclips space is 100% there for yours to take, I learn way more about nature and the real life important and factual stuff from you lot I think if would be amazing 🤞
Actually, there are reports in some parts of South America where people have seen Smilodon.
This show was kooooool. Great discussion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup,I'm into it
At first I thought this video was about reviewing phots of unknown animals on game trail cameras. Lol!
In Costa Rica I’ve seen so many creatures that aren’t known to science often stuff like lizards or small birds nothing big but people talk of there being more monkeys than the four in the area I’ve never seen it but I don’t doubt it also in a far north remote area of Quebec which is only accessible by train track people say there’s mountain lions I’m quite blessed I’ve lived around nature all my life
If that's true Forest Galant should do a show in Costa Rica. Any new species would be cool.
Mountain Lions in Quebec ✅ heard that since 1996
if pigeons had the speed and flavor of a cheeseburger, it's pigeon apocalypse
Best segment
They are discussing the de-extinction of the Giant Moa too.
Nicely done.
This is great! Yes, i would definitely watch more of this! :D
I found a detailed Roman mosaic of some kind of saber tooth cat. It had the fangs, a little tail, and a pattern like no other cat. It's depicted about to jump on the back of some kind of brown antelope. I can share it if anyone from the show wants to see it.
THERE'S an island in Alaska that they have lottery hunts for the Irish elk I just watched 1 of the documentary's on this where the Dad and Son got attacked by a kodiak brown bear
the angle of that guys cap is making my eye twitch
Irish elk was going out calcium maybe but also it’s habitat was going from open areas to forest and couldn’t adapt.
If I ever win the lottery and have billions of dollars I am funding the findings of these animals believed to be alive through these videos lol
We do have large cats... the cougar/mountain lion/ puma and Bob cats. I know they don't compare to much with smileladon but they aren't anything to sneeze at either. Lol
Gosh, it would be cool to see something on the Korean Tiger!
I live in a commercial fishing community on the outer banks of NC. I was in the local restaurant eating breakfast after duck huntin one morning and there was another group of hunters sitting within ear shot of me and I couldn't help but to notice their conversation and had to eavesdrop. One of the guys was telling the other three about a "sea monster" they had caught in their net. One of the other guys had already heard the story so he was kinda reaffirming what the man was telling them. The creature was estimated to be 40' in lenth, had a horse shaped head, huge eyes, flippers and I believe he said it seemed like it had some sort of hair or maybe it was growth on its skin. They dragged the net and creature toward the shore but before they could reach the shore it freed itself and swam off. They said it was close to capsizing the boat. The guy was very convincing that the story was legit, especially with the other guy confirming and even finishing what the original story teller was saying.
Love a good sea monster fishing yarn.
5:33 30 foot long Dewgong. Forrest is a pokemon fan too
When I googled the wing span of the eagle that hunted Moa birds it said the haast eagle had a wing span of 8ft I really want to know more if any one has any info or was it just an accidental slip of wrong info ?
Great game!
They're so oily that they were used for heat. No wood on those shores so stranded sailors and even sailors on ships would just chuck another Great Auk on the fire.
We’ve spent millions or billions to launch rovers to explore Mars. We should be able make hundreds of semi- automated submarine rovers to fully explore the deeper or less explored regions of the oceans to answer some of these unanswered questions.
North America also had it's own American cheetah that was hunted to extinction, the Saber toothed cat wasn't the only one. The living Pronghorn has a speed of up to 55 kph which is absurdly fast considering the next fastest current predators are bobcats and other much slower felines. It's speed was in order to outrun their primary predator which has since gone extinct.
Theres lots of excess Smilodon food around. Id like to start with volunteering a few neighbours.
Ive often thought about what we should do if we succeeded in cloning an extinct animal.
If you dont plan on releasing it, whats the purpose of trying to bring it back?
If we do release it, would it cause such a massive disruption of the ecosystem?
Could we set aside a national park, island, etc. As a sort of preserve for these animals?
Look up "giant bird race track" that new Zealand eagle might still be out there! The natives called them Thunder Birds
As a kiwi I personally think that we do have some awesome species but we did have cool ass animals that were once around some of which I do still think are around like the South Island kokako and huia
The antlers not growing could also be due to a deficiency of vitamin E, I herd that a deer farmer was feeding carrots to his deer and they would grow big 10 + point antlers in 3 years by eating carrots
