@nian60 that assumes you see then in time and react fast enough. Curving country road after dark means you are under their belly before you know it. Now add winter with icy conditions.
Thank you Emilia. I am a sculptor specializing in horses. Your two videos on prehistoric deer has convinced me to try sculpting extinct deer. 40 years ago I was ‘volunteered’ by my scout troop to be leader and had to choose a ‘mascot’ for our troop flag. I chose the Wapiti, inspired by its noble stature and antlers. The reaction from my scout troop, “WTF is that thing?” Sigh…..
@@connormcintosh4828Thank you. I have started documenting one of my projects on video for the first time. Just have to finish the sculpture so I can finish the short video.
Prehistoric deer are uniquely fascinating to me because deer feel uniquely divinely majestic, at least the very large bucks, and the sight of a giant extinct deer must have been somewhat awe-inspiring to our ancestors. I know it's kinda ocerly romantic to think this way, but just can't help it, ya know.
I’ve been subbed for a long time. Since like 10k subscribers and I was along for the ride when you guys got a huge push during the pandemic, I see now that you’re not getting that same kind of views now BUT, you’re commitment to the content you create has always remained the same and I absolutely love it. You’re still one of my very favorite channels on all the internet and I absolutely love how the channel has progressed. I don’t know what you guys do in your lives outside of RUclips but I always fear that you guys are going to graduate or move onto a career off platform and disappear. if that happens, you guys should totally hand off the channel to some buddies or colleagues. I don’t know. Just a fan piping in. Wish you all the best. Love the channel, AND THE NEW ONE!
A few years ago I was camping on the Snake River, Wyoming. I woke at 5 a.m. and saw a beauty of nature ; a herd of elk climbing a 75 degree cliff away from mini me. The caboose was a giant male protecting his herd.
I think it could be fun to see video discussing non-deer with deer-like forms; maybe even a video on all the species that evolved the deer body plan at some point.
I'd wager you could find some if you dig through enough permafrost. I know for a fact that at least mammoth gathered this way has been "sampled" and was apparently still edible. Tho it probably didn't taste all that great and I'd stay way clear of it xD
I'm certain many ancient humans would agree considering that many, if not most, of the species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene were likely pressured by human hunting after climatic changes alone already would've bottlenecked their population sizes and diversity.
It should be noted that Irish elk lasted as recently as 8,000 years ago in much of Central Asia and that Cervalces was actually better-adapted to warmer, wetter current climatic conditions than glacials which is indicative of why they actually went extinct
I love the lighthearted shade thrown at Owen. 🤣 Another brilliant video! There's so much nuance and uniqueness in deer that can be overlooked without an enquiring eye.
For the north American elk (wapiti) it is also worth noting that the first ones encountered were eastern elk and were hunted to extinction in the 1800s. Almost all of the wapiti in north America are of the rocky mountain group with populations of those being introduced and established in the Appalachian mountains again.
Deer are still pretty weird - I used to walk my dogs in woods in Devon and regularly got followed - stalked! - by a female deer who totally ignored my dogs (small ones) to keep me company. We once made the other jump when we each came round a large tree and met face to face.
Narrowly escaped being gored by a MASSIVE moose. I cant even begin to describe the terror and fear Coming across such a huge and aggressive animal. I'm glad to be alive
@romanlandon6561 - I was on an island in Glacier Bay National Park when a lot of noise indicated a running large animal. I ran down the beach, and a bull moose burst out onto the beach a few meters away. Thankfully it moved away at high speed. Then I thought about what might spook a bull moose. I packed up and got into my boat as soon as possible.
I'm gonna be honest here . I watch videos on paleontology as a Brain wash from the real life insanity that is happening into our world. It's good to relax and I appreciate what you guys do . These videos and the study as a whole deserves much more public respect and support
Yup! You got the elk-moose-wapiti nomenclature absolutely correct! One small correction: the word from which "moose" is derived (alternatively moosu, moos, mos or moswa, depending on the specific language you choose to believe it came from) doesn't quite mean "bark stripper." It just means "he strips." This is typically understood to refer to the way that moose strip bark from trees in the winter, when browse and water-plants are scarce. However, it might also refer to the way the velvet "strips" off their antlers in tattered ribbons before the rutting season. I really enjoy these deer videos! Thanks for this latest effort! PS: I'd love to see the non-deer deer video!
I love it when 7DOS teases me with more random deer knowledge. MORE (Also I've started seeing red deer and fallow deer in my dreams now, is that normal?}
@0:12 Why are their behinds colored brightly? Is it to be able to follow each other while escaping predators? Or were they designed to be easily spotted by predators? Or for mating purposes?
It’s a bit of an intimidation sign to predators, when they flip up their tails and bounce away with that big white spot it’s saying “I’m so healthy you shouldn’t even bother chasing me”. The behavior is called stotting
Extinct deer are too underappreciated. There are so many interesting body plans and antler shapes. And of course they would have been more common in most ecosystems than the big mammoths and rhinos and stuff that get all the attention. I also wasn't aware of the modern white-lipped deer. Very cool.
A video on deer-looking non-deers sounds awesome. Might I also suggest a video on things that are not what their name suggests - like the king cobra is not a "true" cobra, the mountain goat is not a "true" goat, electric eels are not "true" eels, mantis shrimp are neither mantis nor shrimp, etc.
Not as large as Wapiti but also a large animal in North America is the Mule Deer. Distinctive for its large mule/donkey like ears. Drop down a size category and White Tail and Black Tail deer species can get quite large but do vary depending on native range. The same species can be bigger in mountainous or heavily forrested areas but comparritively small in other places like Alabama for example
Haha I was so confused when she was saying wapiti how she was! I’ve always heard it pronounced Whap-ity or wap-paty. That and her comparisons to red deer. My dumb self is going “cool, that’s awesome…. I don’t know how big those usually are…”
@ I do like how she clarified it at the end though where she’s saying like “hey there’s too many things called “elk” so we’re just gonna run with their other names.”
@@shawnwalker4936 I'm just used to reading so many sources I don't really notice the switch. Hear a European accent say elk and head figures they are talking bout moose. I see exactly why she pronounces it the way she does by the spelling. Just sounds really weird when I've heard it as part of my regional vocabulary my whole life. Had no problem figuring out what she was referring to. As a book addict since childhood and grew up in a poor small town in the middle of nowhere there is a massive amount of my vocab that comes from just reading. I've had some really creative pronunciations over the years cause not realizing something was say a French word.
@@shawnwalker4936she clarified it at the end? I haven't made it there yet I was so confused I had to find out what she was talking about. The picture gave me a clue, but then I thought I was crazy. I've never heard it called anything but Elk.
I find deer fascinating as a group, and this was a good addition to the knowledge base. (I must admit, almost shamefacedly, to being just as fascinated with the presenter...she is SO cute and smart and articulate! Almost makes me want to return to Blighty to look her up, just for the fun of it. You may now proceed to call me the biggest creep on the planet...)
The milu deer is also called the Pere David's Deer. A French priest, Pere David, was the first European to see them in a Chinese emperor's hunting preserve. At that time it was the only place in the world where they were found. In subsequent years, dozens were shipped to Europe, but back in China they were all eaten by peasants in the Boxer Rebellion.
This was NOT boring! You keep repeating "Red deer", yes, but not to worry! It helps paint the picture in my head, especially because I mostly listen to but rarely get to actually watch videos like this. Good job!
This video kind of confirms my suspicions. Hypothesizing that the huge headcrests of some pterosaur species may have helped them fly is pretty much like saying these deer species' antlers helped them navigate through the woods.
Prehistoric wildlife was like nature’s experimental phase-giant deer, armored beasts, and more. Ever wondered what made these creatures so unique? Let’s dive in!
10:17 I know that the Eurasian red deer is its own thing, but historically wapiti/elk were also called Red Deer in what is now Canada. Suffice it to say that the sentence “that wapiti lived alongside the red deer” took a minute to properly parse, lol
I have loved these videos (including you repeatedly saying 'red deer.. fallow deer.. Megaloceros..' etc.. and I would LOVE to watch the suggested video on things that LOOK like deer but aren't ACTUALLY deer! Please please please.. 😊
Red deer, fallow deer. Funny thing is we don’t have them here in the US, so all these size comparisons are over my head. In the US we don’t use metric deer, we use white tale and mule deer.
A video of animals that look like deer but aren't deer would be most welcome. I wonder if my favorite animal, the pronghorn, will be considered to look like a deer but isn't. I know that it is commonly called "antelope" even it they aren't. I guess antelope in general look like deer but aren't.
@@RaithGyaron, the pronghorn has more similarities to the giraffes and okapis than with deer, hence the reason why the pronghorn of the monotypic family Antilocapridae is also a member of the superfamily Giraffoidea, the most basal of the three extant superfamilies of pecorans.
So there I was flying in a EF-111 in New Mexico. We were at 300 feet above the ground and climbing up what is called the caprock. A 300 foot many miles long uplift. My pilot rolled left as we approached which put me facing downward. There it was a massive Elk climbing the caprock right underneath us.
Dear, I would really like to watch a video about deer that are not really deer, they just look like deer, but they are just as dear as real deer, and I almost forgot... Red deer 😈😈😈😂😂😂
Deer are like the first thing that comes to mind when I think of an ecosystem. My dad hunts deer, he raised deer, he captured deer, he released deer, he mounted deer heads on the wall, he eats nothing but deer, he won't shut the flick up about how much he loves deer, oh deery deery me 🤪 somebody help me!!!
20:08 I think it’s just Shawnee. The Cree word for “white rump” (ie white tail deer) is wâpâyôs, and the word for Elk/Wapiti is wâwâskesiw. That said, the “wâpâ-“ in wâpâyôs is probably cognate with the “wapi-“ in wapiti.

Here in Ontario Canada, white tailed deer are prolific. I did see an accident between a small car and a moose once. The front of the car was heavily damaged, and the moose was mildly annoyed.
“Can’t park there mate 😠”
Myth busters did an episode on hitting a moose and the least destructive way. There wasn't one. They are perfectly designed to do the most damage to a car and driver as possible.
We have white tailed deer that wander through the back of the garden. We have a vegetable garden with an 8 ft fence. Every once in a while a moose wanders by. I am in nova Scotia.
Which is why car brands in Sweden go through a "moose test" = can it swerve fast enough and avoid a moose?
@nian60 that assumes you see then in time and react fast enough. Curving country road after dark means you are under their belly before you know it. Now add winter with icy conditions.

I wouldn’t be shocked if the Ben G Thomas team now make a video explaining how everything will evolve into deer….
Ive already evolved into someones dear. I can confirm! Lol
I love having moved to the Appalachians from So-Cal. I see deer all the time in the parks when I walk my dog.

She's really gotten more comfortable in front of the camera over the years. I remember when she started she was a bit nervous.
