I, for one, wanna do a spec evo project of island dwarf dinosaurs who were adaptable enough to survive the extinction event where after the island becomes bigger over time, allowing them to grow to 75% of their former size. Several islands are fromed, creating a larger archipelago. Evenially over millions of years it culminates in humans exploring and catalouging its species. But also expanding it by have plesiosurs and mosasaurs remaining as the dominant largest sea life and pterosaurs rule the skies as some of them travel across the distance between the continents. Where the largest resides on the island and in Africa. There's also one large pterosaur who mimics the current california condor struggle as they would scavenge the bison but due to humanity they have severely reduced in numbers

@@DinoDiego16 This is something of an urban legend, amplified with misinformation published in Hustler (not exactly a reputable journal) assuming you're referring to Margaret Lovatt and the John C. Lilly speech experiment. What was done there was equivalent to what people do with/to (either word seems somewhat wrong, but still) all kinds of animals, clinically, generally for artificial insemination purposes. Our meat and dairy industry kinda relies on it. If... not so often actually *manually* any longer. I wouldn't call it terribly "weird." Especially in the context of the experiment, which was far weirder than clinically assisting a dolphin in ejaculating so it would stop being distracted and aggressive and... amorous. The living in a flooded house and trying to teach a dolphin to make English sounds are far weirder than that bit, which just seems like a logistical necessity. Because yeah, that experiment was weird as hell, and Lilly was a total quack and a loon, but it's unfortunate Lovatt gets so linked to this narrative when she seemed to be about as professional as she could be, and way more than NASA or the supposed "scientist" leading the absurd experiment.
Thanks Diego for making this! I’m still so shocked this even exists tbh, this all started as a one off offer bcs I was bored lol. The kind words mean a lot and I’m glad so many people enjoy frilli’s work!
I love the treesnake dolo's tree camouflage because it has precedent in folklore, where dragons and other big serpents are often mistaken for fallen trees
Peak videos as always, Diego. Frilli's Cetacean Alternative project is a very interesting one, and I specifically love the fact that she took the time to explore how the culture of this alternate world is impacted by these new plesiosaurs and their fascinating characteristics (I'm definitely not saying this because I'm the one who drew the Swirlies)
@@frilliflove2424 Y’know, as a bit of a movie nerd, it’s kinda funny that you decided to have this release in 1987, since that puts it right between _The Black Cauldron_ (1985) and _The Little Mermaid_ (1989). That, plus the vibe I got from your plot summary, made _The Crown of the Sea_ feel like a transitional stepping stone between the two polar opposite Disney animated films, and maybe an alternate beginning to the Disney Renaissance. I have no idea if any of that was planned, especially since I’m one of about three people on Earth who still fondly remember _The Black Cauldron,_ but I shall choose to follow the Oogway Doctrine in this particular case anyway.
@MemesToa YO FINALLY SOMEBODY CAUGHT THAT Legit that is the EXACT reason I made that decision!!! The Crown of the Sea was Disney's push for the more popular musical related numbers with cheerful adventure. But it was also tonally darker and more serious. Like it had that same "darker" and more rustic looking world like the Black Cauldron as well as the more serious themes. And as it's stated on the site, the success of The Crown of The Sea kick-started the Disney Renaissance and a shift from story focused serious films to fun feeling musical cheers
I'm blown away by the sheer level of imagination and creativity gone into Frilli's work. As a fellow natural history nerd and fiction writer myself, I really feel the connection. I literally pondered the idea of a very small plesiosaur surviving the extinction event before her idea of it was mentioned 😁
Recently rewatched the bizarre live action Super Mario Bros movie. I can't help laughing at the idea that the movie's version of Goombas were supposed to be creatures from the cretatious period. I wonder if anyone would actually attempt to make a fake speculative project to try and make more realistic versions of the creatures from the movie. Lol
@@DinoDiego16 don't get me wrong. I liked the attempt to do so. I just find it hilarious that Mushroom creatures were somehow adapted into THAT. I've heard some people compare the goombas in that movie to the TMNT designs from the Michael Bay movies. It's hard not to laugh. All the same, the movie is a guilty pleasure for me. Dinosaurs and Cyberpunk elements combined seem like such a cool combo, and I wish others would explore it.

I'm sorry, but the in universe controversy about someone saying "plesiosaurs are people" and then making weird erotica about is so funny, I can picture the twitter discourse in my head.
Great video and a truly awesome project. Absolutely love the idea of plesiosaurs making it to the modern day as they are, in my opinion, the grandest of marine reptiles. Sure, ichthyosaurs got much bigger and lasted longer and the mosasaurs overtook them, but they were a presence in some way from the Triassic until the very end of the Mesozoic. That's special to me.
This project does make me wonder how the rest of life on Earth evolved. Just from a curious perspective. Would the ancestors of whales take to a different niche or go extinct entirely? How were the Plesiosaurs impacted by Megalodon or a similar shark species? Are hippos still extant being a relative to whales?
@@BigBossMan538 This is actually something I've been toying with!! I was thinking about some descendants becoming very otter-like or perhaps even filling a crocodile niche or some kind of semi-terrestrial lifestyle!!!
I've read this on Frili's site before, but it does make me wonder what happened to whale ancestors in this history. Are they more like otters? Did they return to the land? Who knows?
There's definitely a lot more to this world worth exploring. Right now, a lot of what we have is a skeleton of more ideas to come, so who knows? Maybe Frilli will explore more of this area one of these days
Hey man, I just wanted to tell you about a book called backwash of the Milky Way by O'Neil De noux. It's about people discovering a planet that still has dinosaurs
Would these plesiosaurs also nearly hunted to extinction due to industrialization aka the same episode of the whaling industry in our world? During the 1800’s-1900’s.
Possibly! Frilli did say that she wanted to explore more historical aspects of the project eventually, so maybe she'll go more in depth with that period in time one of these days
Regarding the end of the video: I'm definitely not against it, I think there could be a world where this happens. However: I would love to know if there's an explanation how plesiosaurs survived the K-Pg extinction and what kind of species would be the survivor
the idea of a spec evo project where aprehsotirc aniaml swuamps somthing in human medeia is somhting i didint think about and now making me cruiso of how other speucltive species replaces somthign of mediea
Imagine a world where non-avian dinosaurs survived but kept evolving to be more bird like to the point most cultures just look at them and say: “Oh yeah, the land birds. Some big birds on two legs, some on four.” Like all dinosaurs are land birds in the same way bats are flying rats.
Who tf keeps changing the timeline😭😭😭 ain't no way somemone stopped the cretaceous mass extinction from happening. Humans and whales are absolutely cooked🗣🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀

Because this is a thought experiment about if plesiosaurs survived. Not mosasaurs and ammonites. But who knows? Maybe I'll include other survivors at a later date
@@frilliflove2424 Ah ok makes sense I just wonder how the end Cretacious extinction event would spare such large megafauna in one case then push other groups to extinction
@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster Well I have been asked that actually. I imagine it was a much smaller plesiosaur ancestor that was able to thrive in the recovering ecosystem of the post-extinction event
@@frilliflove2424 Ah ok makes sense, though I would offer some mild criticism I do love your idea and hope you don't get upset at what I said, I just think if Plesiosaur survived, at the least Ammonites would still be around.
@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster Don't worry! Not upset, just explaining further!! And as Diego and I have said, the project is barebones rn and I have already considered mentioning other organisms that are still kicking!! Just a matter of how to fit them on the site!! 😄😄
Even if the KT extinction never happened, I still believe that Plesiosauria would still go extinct. This is because Plesiosauria were losing diversity during the Cretaceous. Around 92-89mya all Pliosauroids and most Plesiosauroids died out. Only 2 lineages survived to the KT (Elasmosaurids & Polycotylids). I think it's more realistic that the last Plesiosaurs would die out during the PETM or at the latest Eocene-Oligocene Transition..... Remember they were very diverse during the Aptian but declined until only 2 families (with a small number of genera) exist by 66mya.
Why not Mosasaurs? No one seems to talk about them that much. The fun fact is Marine Mammals took the place of Marine Reptiles of the past as Whales like Mosasaurs and Pinnipeds like Plesiosaurs. Of course you think only Mosasaurs gone extinct and not Plesiosaurs but wasn't that feasible because they are closest relatives of Komondo Dragons and Anacondas? I rather imagine Squamates become once again marine predators to the living Plesiosaurs.
I think icthyosaurs were the closest analogies for whales for the longest time, no? With the wide variety of roles and positions in their respective food chains.
I dislike the idea that if something is scientifically accurate then it's not fun. I think the fun is figuring out how your art can exist in reality and thus become scientifically accurate. And then I can read about that process instead of just the result. I've seen it too often in my life and it's a real problem. Science isn't fun, history is boring, accuracy stifles creativity... These ideas are inherently false and actually do real harm to society.
Her notion isn't that scientific accuracy isn't fun. It's that a project that *solely* focuses on scientific accuracy isn't fun. There are certain elements of these kinds of projects that sound cool to explore but may be blocked by the walls that realism puts in place. Sometimes the way to get over those walls is to be creative about it, which doesn't always translate to scientific accuracy. And that's okay.
For the love of god, stop spelling that hard "R" everytime you end a sentence, it is annoying and it make it obvious that you are reading a short-phrased infested script. Otherwise great video keep it up
@@DinoDiego16 But Izzat El-Reshiq, a member of the political office of Hamas, accused Israel of trying to derail efforts by Arab mediators and the United States to reach a ceasefire deal by stepping up its attacks in the enclave. Saturday's strike in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, in which at least 90 Palestinians were killed, according to local health authorities, has put the ceasefire talks in doubt.

She's a close friend of mine and Diego's actually and is a big help to the channel. Of course she would have a place here too. Calling this project little is a massive understatement I'd say
Appreciate the attention. But spec evo in general is very welcoming to "odd" ideas. Be open, be free, and have fun. There's no wrong choices in spec evo. Hope that's something everyone can acknowledge
@glarnboudin4462 That does not change my point, dude. They're included. And as I already shared with you on the forum, I like penguins and I wanted to add them. Hence the "creative liberties".
Its a very text-based project for now, which is what it was originally intended as. The art was always secondary but since the project has gotten this far, Frilli is hoping to add more visual representation for her world in the near future

Can you make whale that's bigger than blue whale in future ❤
You mean a hemot? Because the Leviathan is bigger than the blue whale
Future evaluation a whale not reptile like this
I know it's speculitive biology, but icthyosaurs were better adapted to and probably filled these roles...
Yeah, but we've seen elements of that before. Thought experiments are about creating something that might happen that we haven't seen before
A thought experiment is a thought experiment!! And as the video said already, I like plesiosaurs. So I centred the project around them!!
Hype
make the big funny video

I dislike the idea that if something is scientifically accurate then it's not fun. I think the fun is figuring out how your art can exist in reality and thus become scientifically accurate. And then I can read about that process instead of just the result.
I've seen it too often in my life and it's a real problem. Science isn't fun, history is boring, accuracy stifles creativity... These ideas are inherently false and actually do real harm to society.
Her notion isn't that scientific accuracy isn't fun. It's that a project that *solely* focuses on scientific accuracy isn't fun. There are certain elements of these kinds of projects that sound cool to explore but may be blocked by the walls that realism puts in place. Sometimes the way to get over those walls is to be creative about it, which doesn't always translate to scientific accuracy. And that's okay.
For the love of god, stop spelling that hard "R" everytime you end a sentence, it is annoying and it make it obvious that you are reading a short-phrased infested script.
Otherwise great video keep it up
No, cry about it
@@DinoDiego16 But Izzat El-Reshiq, a member of the political office of Hamas, accused Israel of trying to derail efforts by Arab mediators and the United States to reach a ceasefire deal by stepping up its attacks in the enclave.
Saturday's strike in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, in which at least 90 Palestinians were killed, according to local health authorities, has put the ceasefire talks in doubt.
Oh hey, didn't know that you were friends with the author of this project. Some of the choices they made were a bit odd, but it's overall quite a nice little project. I'm eager to see more of it in the future.
She's a close friend of mine and Diego's actually and is a big help to the channel. Of course she would have a place here too. Calling this project little is a massive understatement I'd say
@@GambitVampyr I suppose so, yeah. Fair enough.
Appreciate the attention. But spec evo in general is very welcoming to "odd" ideas. Be open, be free, and have fun. There's no wrong choices in spec evo. Hope that's something everyone can acknowledge
@@frilliflove2424 I was more referring to the penguins.
@glarnboudin4462 That does not change my point, dude. They're included. And as I already shared with you on the forum, I like penguins and I wanted to add them. Hence the "creative liberties".
Bro, it took you over nine minutes to actually show anything it’s just boring science crap my short turn memory brain can’t handle
Its a very text-based project for now, which is what it was originally intended as. The art was always secondary but since the project has gotten this far, Frilli is hoping to add more visual representation for her world in the near future
Highly recommend checking out the Paleo Art of Andy Frazer
I have! Dude's art is amazing! Love his stuff
@@DinoDiego16 he’s one of my all time favorite Paleo Artists, I also love his Dragons of Wales & Novosaur projects
@@TroyTheCatFish Very talented dude. I'd love to take a look at his Project: Tepui artworks one of these days
