      @@melvinshine9841 their skin is very delicate, as they need it to absorb water through their skin. Unlike these ancient ones, today's amphibians not only need water to breed, but also to stay alive as adults. They don't have scales or tough skin to keep water in. So they are restricted to water. Because of this permeable skin, salt can easily damage because of how easily it is absorbed through water. And without proper salt filtering kidneys or organs, the salt becomes toxic.
      That's not to say salt water amphibians might not appear again. If the right selective pressures are made available, then such amphibians might just evolve independently again given enough time.

    • @timeshark8727
      @timeshark8727 6 лет назад +54

      You are correct sir! The higher salinity of ocean water will pull water out of modern amphibians (and most freshwater fish) too quickly for them to replenish it. Mainly due to how poorly their skin tends to hold in water to begin with.

    Use a stronger egg. Put water in it. Have the baby, on land, in the egg, water is in the egg, baby in the egg, in the water, in the egg.

      We have some. Some of the earliest "spiders" come from the carboniferous period, mygalomorph spiders, which include modern day tarantulas, come from this period and we know of some true spiders from the end of the Jurassic period and the Cretaceous period. It's likely they evolved from sea-whip scorpions that lived along side other arachnid ancestors like Brontoscorpio.

    Wow, y'all really are the greatest. I noticed this in my feed while taking a break from researching the ecological pressures on early amphibian diversification and smiled wider than I have all week! As always, beautifully informative and accessible. Please keep it up!

    If you camp here in Florida, you can hear gigantic bull alligators calling out at night. They're so loud, the entire forest shuts up in fear, including the campers. I can only imagine what these giant amphibians would have sounded like when they called out.

    Koolasuchus cleelandi, named after
    Leslie Kool: the preparer of the fossils
    Mike Cleeland: the finder of the fossils at Inverloch. Great person too.

  • @johnstewart8849
    @johnstewart8849 6 лет назад +1

    I have some fossils of these guys...it started with a set of fossil footprints from 330M years ago...among the first to come ashore. Yes, amphibians (my brachiosaurus) were limited by their need to lay wet eggs...the egg evolved until dinosaurs were laying shelled eggs in dry nests...the dino’s were then free to roam the land...many of those died out before the famous Jurassic Park guys evolved (my keichiosaurus). The egg technology was the key....of course primates give live birth, as do some present-day reptiles and some fish. The evolutionary “plan” astonishes me.
