A Harvest Interrupted: Recent American Fauna of the Qajarith Peninsula
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2022
- For millions of years, when the great portal of Kaimere sensed instability in its territory, it would trigger a harvest and, over the course of hundreds if not thousands of years, collect organisms from Earth to replicate on Kaimere in an effort to restabilize the ecology. The most recent harvest, which took place at the end of the Pleistocene in the Americas, was cut short by the intervention of the First Children, an ancient civilization who had mastered the indigenous magic of Kaimere. Learn what was lost and what survived in this latest episode of Tales of Kaimere: A Harvest Interrupted.

a good question would be "how long does the portal store information?" and I can totally see the portal's hive mind both wreaking the first children and actively looking for a way to break free of the Whistling door.
It certainly isn't satisfied with its current situation...
I guess if the first children haven't managed to clone things with it yet, and i think they surely tried, the consuming end just sends the information, and the receiving end discards it as soon as it's done remaking it, but if they managed to change how the sending of the information and the copying process works, maybe it's possible to make it store information and make clones, and they just couldn't do it while alive
@@TalesofKaimere What would happen if it did broke out of the whistling door?
One thing that bugs me is that Did the others Elder gods intervened to destroy the first children, cause as eldritch Being that lived for potentially hundreds of millions years , they might have collectively taken control of all of the First Children's Hommonculies from the first children control in order to destroy them.That would explain why they are mostly inactive, with the portal and the Ushalek being notable exceptions.
Maybe they entered an hibernation period after such feat of power, or maybe, they are bidding their time, waiting for a perfect opportunity to remerge. After all, there is no questioning wether they are sentitents or not, with The portal being potentially the oldest being/creature/object? in Both earth and Kaimere, its would be foolish to assume them to be only animals.
It definitely feels like you're building up to some big event that's going to happen in Kaimere
Thank you! I do have a novel series planned on that very subject!
@@TalesofKaimere Cool, I can't wait! Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this project. You and your content never ceases to make me happy.
Someone bout to break the cloud gate 😂
I love that the First Children are simultaneously "gray aliens" and "fairies". They honestly me of a creature from Robert E. Howard's "Worms of the Earth". Fantastic as always, I adore this setting and its incredible combination of sci-fi spec-evo and pulp fantasy!
So sad that the mastodons (which would've done great in the Titan Gardens), American Lions (might've crossbred with the cave lions), and Smilodon (might be able to get it's own niche in those mountains) didn't make it.
But nice for the Alligator, Bonnethead shark, the Caribbean sloth, and the passenger pigeon :D
@Marshal Marrs With the wall there, all the animals would establish themselves nicely, with a couple of deals here and there:
African lions would crossbreed with the american lion, the cougar and leopard would be competing with each other
@Marshal Marrs Along with what I said earlier:
-Smilodon would probably have to go to the mountains and compete with the other predators, but it could also compete with the Red Panthers.
-Eremotherium would compete with the resident ground sloths.
-Dire wolves would have issues with the cockatrices and since dire wolves are related to Dholes, they might interbreed with each other.
-Arctodus would either have to go to the mountains and outcompete the cave bear or get smaller and outcompete the bear already there.
-The Columbian Mammoth would most likely crossbreed with the straight-tusked elephants and bring hybrid vigor to them.
(Actually, those elephants are much more closely related to African elephants rather than to the Columbian mammoths, which are more akin to Asian elephants and Kaimere's Highland Mammoth)
-The bison would probably migrate to the mountains and establish themselves there.
-The American Cheetah would have a problem similar to the cougar.
-Castoroides would displace the native giant beavers
-The Vero Tapir might be able to establish itself, but not be so common.
-The giant horse might be able to do alright as long as there's grass, but it would probably have to get smaller to get away from the giant theropods easier.
@@amm019 lot of the Pleistocene animals would probably have to move into the highlands of Arvel, with the exception of the Mastodon, Castoroides, and tapir, which would probably do well in the titan gardens.
I could see the American lions interbreeding with the resident cave lions (since American lions are descended from cave lions that migrated across Beringia).
I could see Arctodus becoming mostly carnivorous, to avoid competition with the resident cave bears.
I could see the American cheetah being somewhat like a snow leopard..
The giant horses would add some variety in terms of food for the predators, decreasing competition between them.
Same with the bison, which would probably evolve along similar lines to wild yak of Earth.
As for the Mastodon, Beaver and Tapir, the Mastodon and Castoroides would probably have to compete with the Straight-Tusked elephant and bearded beaver respectively. As for the tapir, they’d probably do pretty well, although they’d have to worry of attacks from cockatrices, young Zentaur, and other titan garden predators.
Honestly, I love the idea of these ancient masters of Kaimere taming a god of the world which has forged Kaimere. The mere idea of this powerful, all-important swarm which has had full control over Kaimere's evolutionary development being commanded by its very own chosen animals it harvested is just... *such* a damn cool idea.
Thank you! The portal is a very fun character to consider. Really trying to lean into an eldritch god vibe
Bonnethead sharks are very adorable and I love them and I am glad they popped up randomly
Good to know that Kaimere is home to the snake that almost killed me.
üf sorry mate
Lovely episode. Wish the first children had let Mastodons, American Lions and Smilodon live. Would have loved to see them in Kaimere. But glad Alligators and other animals that made it survived.
If you someday do an episode dedicated to the crocodilians of Kaimere would be great.
I absolutely need to do a croc episode! They're super important to Kaimere's ecology.
The first children much like small dogs where purely made of spite and vitreal
Im glad to see Loons made it into Kaimere! They’re some very cool birds.
It's sad that many of those giants were lost. You said in your Kaimeran Elephants video that if Mastodons survived, they probably would've been the most successful Proboscidean of your world. I've also been racking my brain about what the First Children looked like and I especially like the avian collection from this harvest. I'm surprised at the success of the alligator in Kaimere and the integration of herbivorous shark. Cheers, Keenan!
Thank you so much!!
If the first children never got harvested on kaiemre how would that effect the creatures that would have been culled
Well, they probably would've done what most integrated species do on Kaimere, compete for niches with those already harvested and either go extinct anyway, settle into an unoccupied niche, win their competition, or adapt for a different niche.
@@sivanlevi3867 camelops
That purple insectoid dude looks like something straight out of power rangers
Absolutely right
@The Philosoraptor *imagines the first children making there homunculi grow
As a lifelong native of the Southeastern US, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the fates of my local fauna in perhaps my favorite fantastical setting! Though others have expressed their disappointment in the loss of American Mastodons (a sympathy I greatly share), I am nonetheless thrilled to learn of the success of the American Alligator and its Kaimeran descendants! I was not previously aware that their tolerance of colder waters is an adaptation excluded from their crocodile relatives, so you can rest assured your videos are educational *and* entertaining! Additional First Children lore is also a major selling point of this addition to the canon- happy to see they suffered some bouts of fright to (somewhat) compensate for the atrocities they committed!
One thought this video spurred within me is in regards to endangered species of both Earth and Kaimere- I imagine that a Human conservationist first seeing Kaimere might be brought to tears at the sight of a previously extinct Passenger Pigeon. Furthermore, with the upcoming Australia/Oceania Harvest video, I wonder if the famed Thylacine could be spared from its devastating demise on Earth? Though, having it perish from/never enter Kaimere could make for a chillingly sorrowful story, if emotional damage is part of your drafts… A species given two chances against humanity that we blew with gluttonous destruction! The possibilities of intra-conservation efforts of species between both worlds is a train of thought I could spend hours on, quite frankly!
All in all, an incredibly enjoyable video that continues the trend of fantastic content on your channel! It consistently baffles me how you’re able to create so many illustrations for your own story with such limited time between videos! Keep up the amazing work- thanks to the patrons for sponsoring this project, and, of course, to you for this project in the first place!!!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful words! I definitely want to explore some second chances in Kaimere, but don’t plan on it being a second chance for everything. Want to maintain a sense of natural instability and importance of context in what lives and dies if that makes sense. Some things thrive in both, some make it in one and not the other, and some don’t succeed in either. Unfortunately thylacines did not make it to modern times. Dholes were taken in the same harvest and they not only outcompeted a lot of former multituberculate, borophagine, and gobiconodont predators, they also ousted the Thylacine and wolves that have the audacity to come down from the highlands
@@TalesofKaimere It's was both the Dholes and the Prairie/CommonStriped Hyena who outcompeted the Thylacine on Kaimere, like you confirm for the hyena secie in a previous comment anwser.
But it's interesting that Thylacine and Worf lived once in Highland part of the Known World !
There alway some multituberculate, borophagine, and gobiconodont predators in the Know World, but less than before.
But their divesity of both three must be as higher outside this region.
What would be the faith of Hemiauchenia Megalonyx Mylohyus Nothrotheriops and the American mountain deer if they were harvested how would they do
Such a wild concept to think of raccoons as endangered.😮
You're really keeping us on our toes. 😅
It's was a very good video ! As usual !
And it's was cool and great to learn more indeepth of the First Children backstory.
As usual, they remain as evil and bads as we know them.
But, from now, we know precisely how they discovered the Portal due to this last harvest and, as an effect, how they get all their powers who let them to do all the horrors they made during their existence !
Because, before this, they were just people who manage to conquer the Qajar pennisula, and they were just people who lived here whithout having real interaction with the outside.
They mainly produce they own food with their own agriculture, and have house to inhabit in.
Sure, they civilisation and technological level was already highly advanced, to a extreme point (like we can see at the view of their building and suits) and their mastery of the Magic of Kaimere was also highly pronounced at the time...
But it's only when they discovered the Portal and the existence of Earth that they truly become what they are like own we know them already before this video !
They enter a great (for them) but horrific (for Kaimere inhabitants) Golden Era where they expand like never before their civilisation over all the Known World region and beyond. Where they enslaved and managed to control the Portal in order to use him to achieve all their orders and wishes, at the suffering of the Portal himself who suffers from a lot of centuries due to the Wistling Door device they use on him to control him !
They hurt him by ordered him to create ways from Kaimere to Earth in addition from Earth to Kaimere, thus this was against his own nature and millions years functoning methods since Kaimere birth.
They created a lot of homuncullies to served them as slaves by using animals and humans DNA materials from both locals Kaimere species but also Earth being they abducted by ovnis/spaceship.
They even manage to go outer space and colonized a little some others planets (but tha don't very long a lot).
And maybe a lot of others bad evil things unknow to us !
So yes, in conclusion, even if the First Children are currently extinct and their civilisation had fallen/collapse because of unknown reasons, this last natural harvest, the "End Pleistocene America Harvest", was mainly impactfull and significant in the way that it's way this specific event who let them be the monsters they were and we know all today...
Absolutely! I'm really glad you enjoyed the episode it was a ton of fun to work on.
Yes, the First Children really came into their own after controlling the portal. That much energy proved not only useful in powering their city (and indeed the portal powers its own prison) but also helped them understand how magic works. A key to their later golden age.
Aye! I knew procyonids would do well in Kaimere! Great job on the video by the way. It’s cool to see the first children be fleshed out more. I’m definitely getting Fae vibes off of them. As always, I can’t wait to see more from you!
Thank you kindly! Yean I got a lot of Irish fairy tales when I was a kid and it left a distinctly sinister impression that I've had as a fun idea for a setting antagonist.
@@TalesofKaimere I really hope to get more First Children lore, maybe stories about them and this harvest
This was an interesting video.
A shame that Mastodons couldn't find the success that they would've had due to them being culled, but the surprising thing for me was that there was no real mention of Jaguars being harvested despite the location being in the general area of where they would have lived. Were they harvested as well, but also culled by the First Children, or were they able to hide in the shadows, but died out due to competition, disease, or having too small of a population?
They were among the harvested animals, most were culled, and the few survivors were outcompeted by the red panther, which basically occupies the same niche.
@@TalesofKaimere Interesting.
Well, thanks for clarifying. Can't wait for the Southeast Asian/Australian harvest, as well as seeing what Australian fauna came to Kaimere.
See you in the next video.
@@TalesofKaimere that's unfortunate for my favorite big cat
@@TalesofKaimereI really wanna see the first children get eaten by dinosaurs now
I really liked this episode! Was looking forward to see something more of the First Children. I also loved the art of the human species and all of the other animals!!
Kinda sad, that the smilodon didn't make it, but they would have probably died out either way, as there are already so many big cats. Also that Common Loon is absolutely beautiful, I think you have mentioned that it is your favourite bird.
Looking forward to all new videos (the Australian harvest sounds very interesting, I would love to see an Emu in your style - I love those war machines) and can't wait for the video about weather at the end of the month!!!
Thank you so much!! Yeah Smilodon would have faced a lot of competition, and as happened with earlier large game specialized Machairodonts, they probably wouldn't have made it. Panthera is a lot better in the context of Kaimere, where it pays to grab small game and bring it into a tree (although the red panther proves that saber teeth can make for quick kills before caching in a nearby tree).
I don't know why, but the futuristic vibe looking insect suit of the First Children remind me a lot of the Marvel Beetle villain character ! (especially the violet color pattern).
It's a secondary ennemy of Spider-Man !
That's really neat! I've seen a lot of the Marvel movies but am not too familiar with comics outside of a few X men stories.
Love exploring history about the First Children
Now I'm curious what was the ultimate fate of the First Children for their hubris.
@The Philosoraptor Nope, to this day, we don't know what make them extinct.
Everyday the First Children surprice me with they legacy and they chimeric offspringgs! Also is incredible how each portals brings visitors to developt speciffic adaptations for each realm of Kaimere! Also is so mixted and diverse! Is simple Marvelous! I cant wait to see More of the beyond World continets too!
Nice video as always. Also the way the first children culled species just made the world feel even more real.
Also I must wonder did any North American parrots like Carolina parakeets or wood peckers such as the ivory bill or some smaller species made it to kaimere. And if so is it possible they came from this portal?
Seeing the ones who didn't make it really makes you reflect on all the crazy things on Earth not too long ago.
1. Unrelated, but what's up with the Pakardia image? Are Kurajaku really that big compared to Hukolgur?
2. How exactly did the portal spawn animals inside the settlements of the First Children? Does it split off smaller swarms or is it just one big summoner?
3. Is the Purrusaurus you mentioned the Zhen or is it yet to be drawn?
Overall, the main takeaway I got from this video is that the crocodillian video is gonna be fire.
1. Worth noting that Pakardiant hukolgur usually max out around 4-5 tons. Mainland hukolgur are the ones that get crazy big. But yes, kurajaku bulls can, in extreme cases, reach seventy feet in length.
2. It splits off into smaller satellite swarms that recreate the organism with a range of local nutrients and stuff they carry to supplement. It's easiest to replicate things on the coast since they can replicate almost everything they need from water. If it's an animal inland, often they replicate from a river or stream. The First Children diverted a lot of water to their settlements, so that's where the portal replicated them.
3. Has yet to be drawn. Hoping to get a sponsorship for crocs down the road. The alligator took around 2 hours so you can imagine how much time it would take to draw all the crocs I have planned for the known world. Will happen eventually, just not something I can make quickly.
Now it makes sense why mastodon didn't survive. The first children didn't realize that they were causing the recent harvests with their killing of large or dangerous predators.
0:00 that insect dude gives off Femto vibes
Another excellent episode! I was looking forward to this one a lot, because the previous harvest video was so good and this one might be even better because of the first children extended backstory. These guys were the absolute worst. Even if you ignore everything else every single prehistoric animal enthusiast is going to hate them for exterminating the Smilodon, mastodons and the other megafauna. Atleast they also experienced some horror with giant beasts appearing out of nowhere inside their "safe area". Did they even try to keep some of the animals in captivity for entertainment or to study them or did they not have any interest in that whatsoever and just wanted to get rid of them?
Thank you! They did keep a few specimens in menageries and for homunculi samples. BY this point in their history they were still in the early stages of Homunculi development, and since Class 3 homunculi from many centuries after the extinction of Smilodon contain Smilodon aspects, it is safe to assume they were at least preserved for later homunculi use. Also is a lineage of Smilodon skin-changers amongst the Arvelith, which some scholars believe was a symbol of fear to the First Children (a lot of Smilodon were replicated in their cities and went man-eater) and they appear a lot in First Children iconography. Smilodon may be gone, but they left their mark.
Yeah there's a lot of reasons to hate the First Children. Taking a lot of Pleistocene fan favorites can absolutely rank among them. They got theirs I tell you what.
@@TalesofKaimere Good to know that there's is some form of Smilodon legacy left in Kaimere even if the animal itself is long gone.
The first children are very intriguing villains and it's always exciting when you reveal new bits and pieces about their civilization. I'm sure that more reveals about them will make for some sick parts and concepts in future stories.
A portal from Earth to Kaimere smack dab in the middle of the area where ships and aircraft go missing without a trace... very clever Keenan.
*tips hat*
Awesome
Fun fact : the Common Loon is the official favorite bird of Keenan Taylor !
He confirm that on his social accounts posts.
This has been an excellent insight into the mysterious first children and the harvests of kaimere! I am most excited to hear about the harvest at the end of the tyrant dynasty and the miocene south american harvest?
R.I.P Manny, Diego and Sid from Ice Age !
I can’t believe I haven’t found this channel sooner.
Welcome!
It's a shame that there not the Dire Wolf, because you had made a pretty cool depiction draw there some years, if a remind myself correctly !
I like to think the portal was actively trying to get them eaten by the various monstrosities that lived in North America very recently. Fr, it was like everything you could find in Europe and Asia, just bigger for some reason.
A fun notion. They did pick quite a dangerous place to harvest from!
Even the portal wanted to get rid of the first children
Sad that the Mastadon didn't make it beyond the Peninsula. I'm sure the browser like them would have done well.
Indeed they probably would have outcompeted the Palaeoloxodon and established themselves pretty far and wide.
@@TalesofKaimere How they would’ve fared against the predators and other herbivores?
I was never aware about the Clovis people ! I just discovered this extinct ethnic thank to this video !
The Clovis humans were a cultural ethnic group of paleoindian people that lived in North American continent at the very end of the Upper Pleistocene, around 13,500 years before the present. It is characterized by the manufacture of Clovis points and other specific tools in bone and ivory. Its name comes from the town of Clovis, New Mexico, where the first artifacts of this culture were found in 1929.
This human population was highly spread and distributed all along across North America down to very low in South America. The Clovis human are today considered and recognized to be the direct ancestors of approximately 80% of the indigenous population of North and South America, the remaining component being derived from later waves of migration.
They are therefore the ancestors of all the different current peoples (Amerindian / Native American, Inuit) or recently extinct (Mayas, Aztecs and other Central Americans people ethnics) of the Americas.
Even if they weren't the only ethnic group in this continent during the Pleistocene (like the Paleoamericans people who wasn't at all the ancestors of the current Native American but arrived in North Amrica before the paleoindian and Clovis ones), they was noneless among the mains ones who will led to the current ethnic groups who remains todays !
And, because of this, their impact and importance to the human evolution and history in America is highly significant and must be remembered !
So it's cool that this video present and allow to discovers them, because they are a very interesting ethnic but being very little known by the public in general.
But it's less cool to learn that, on Kaimere, they suffer a lot !
On Kaimere, they were brought among the Smilodon and Mastodon, and despite that some of them manage to escape the First Children who made any differences with kaimerans, they didn't exist/lived long o the planet and become extinct too.
But, at least, it's good to see that, from the few interactions they manage to had with the kaimerans, they manage to give a sort of legacy ino modern Kaimere under a cultural form.
They do a cultural exchange where they introduce a good number of weapons or others culturals stuff to the kaimerans who will be beneficial for these later in the future (such the bows !).
They do also some Clovis-kaimeran miscegenation/hybrid childs but these interactions were few in number and their DNA must be a extreme ridiculous part of modern kaimeran genome.
Really, they give a legacy only under a cultural form !
(the hybridation was only between a man Clovis and a woman kaimeran and never the opposite because of the size).
But, in any cases, it's as crazy and stunishing to know that, both on Earth or on Kaimere, the Clovis people manage to let their passage mark into both planets history with big H !
What if Capromeryx Equus conversidens Holmesina Hemiauchenia we’re harvested how would they do
My (scientific paper) co-author isn't fucking extinct
think of this de-extinction of return of the destroyed flora/fauna of the children did?
The First Children in the thumbnail straight up looked like a Power Rangers villain
Random Question : What about these others smalls American species ? :
North American Bassari (Bassariscus astutus),
Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus),
American Porcupine (Erethizon dorsata),
Chipmunk species,
Sousliks (Spermophilus),
Prairie dogs (Cynomys),
Rattlesnakes species (Crotalus),
Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum),
Horned lizards (Phrynosoma),
Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia),
Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus),
Greater prairie Hen (Tympanuchus cupido),
Greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus),
Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus),
Nine-banded tattoo (Dasypus novemcinctus),
Alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii),
Snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina),
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus),
Black-footed Polecat (Mustela nigripes),
Goffer/Waffle (Geomys),
Star-nosed condylure (Condylura cristata),
Wolverine (Gulo gulo),
Trachemys and Chrysemys turtles,
Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus),
Cane Toad (Rhinella marina),
Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula),
Green Iguana (Iguana iguana),
White-nosed coati (Nasua narica),
Red Coati (Nasua nasua)
Many of these have any equivalent species on Kaimere and some are very adaptable and resourcefull creature who have physical, behaviors and diet traits who reduce the competition with others species (the grey fow is an arboreal animal for exampe).
Some are also very efficient as invasive species like we can (sadly) see on earth where they was introduced !
Some like the odents or moles are so small they have can escape the First Childrens.
Anyway, at least, you can alway keep these species as species suggestions for others videos (since you add or revised time to time things, like the Highland Mammoth for the elephants species on Kaimere).
How do you think thw green iguanas paddlefish and muskrats and bald eagles would do
Random Question :
1 - Have you plans/are there the Carolina Parakket and the Ivory-billed woodpecker on Kaimere ?
Because since they are extinct on earth, should be cool if they are alive on Kaimere.
2 - Do, as on earth, the groups and flock of Passenger Pigeons are so huge they almost darken the sky, as when the species existed on earth ?
1. Don't yet know about those two. Will be keeping them in mind for future bird episodes.
2. They did not have as much success in Kaimere as they did on Earth. They are still around, but the conditions are not the same as they were here that lead to their booming success.
@@TalesofKaimere Thank you for these precisions !
Hope that these two iconic historical extinct birds had manage to get their way on Kaimere !
Shame for the Passenger Pigeon, to be here but whithout all his glory we know of him. On Kaimere, normal flocks of his species must be not very different in number compared to Common Pigeon/Rock Dove on earth like we can see in town or when they eat in field.
To resume : on Kaimere, the Passenger pigeon is just .... a pigeon with any particular thing to say about him !
It's maybe sad, but at least, it's alway better to be alive somewhere than to be extinct !
GIANT CAIMAN!?!?!!! OOOOOHHHHH IM EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
Though the Ice Age North American megafauna themselves are gone in Kaimere, it be cool to see some Ice Age North American megafauna homunculi roaming around.
I agree I'd like to see some ice age megafauna still around in this world
Amazing! Now I need a Croc video lol
Heck yeah. I wish they didn't take so long to draw because they are super important to Kaimere's ecology.
Random Question : Is it possible that the Uku bear population of Qajar is a hybrid population ?
I mean, despite that the American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) not longer made on Kaimere, it's possible that he reproduce with the Uku bear of the Qajar population, creating a hybrid population unique to Qajar with unique traits !
(like the Grizzly and Polar bears hybrids on earth)
Because like that, if you made a "Bear video" one day, you can present different form of the Uku bear, including one local population highly distinguishable from the others.
(since there only 2 bears species on Kaimere, it's alway a additional thing to take, no ?)
Questions. What is the mass, circumference, distance from the star, density, average surface temperature, orbital period, and rotation period of the planet Kaimere? and is it possible for animals from islands to reach the main land and cause mayhem or become invasive on the main land's ecosystem?
The "Water Viper" showing here is no other than the Cottonmouth snake subspecie Agkistrodon piscivorus conanti of Florida who become overtime a new apart complete specie ?
because if it's a the case, it's awesome !
Sure is!
@@TalesofKaimere Awesome ! This Cottonmouth specie is already a well famous and popular snake in the USA !
So, knowing that this specie was harvested into kaimere by one of his own subspecies, and from this point, these later become his own separate specie overtime, is really amazing to heard !
Interesting say will you ever get a video on the crocodiles of this world.
Eventually yes!
Ok
Nice video and I have some questions.
1. How do alligators directly interact with the maunnyuk, giant catfishes, and xhe’rhaka?
2. Though mastodons of the mammut genus aren’t currently found in Kaimere, would other mastodons such as zygolophodon had come through any portals?
3. How did neocnus make it to the Kentarim islands up north of Qajar?
1. Depends on the size of the gator, but if they’re the same size they tend to have an advantage in their armor, and they can get bigger than the maunnyuk and Xhe’Rhaka. Giant catfish can be hard to tackle but even the 25 foot catfishes are sometimes prey to a 15-20 food gator.
2. Other mastodons could, but haven’t made it to modern times.
3. They swam. Like most sloths they were very proficient swimmers. Swam to the Caribbean when it was at least a hundred miles further from South America than it is today. Island hopping through the myriad small islands through the inland sea up to the Kenta islands wasn’t too tough for them (although it does have them going against the deeper currents, so it was probably mostly coastal swimming that they were doing)
Did the giant owl ornimegaloynx ever get harvested
You now inspired me
RIP to the poor soul who first got blasted by a skunk not knowing of their spray
NO SMILODONS OR MASTODONS?!
*DAMN YOU FIRST CHILDREN!!!!*
They the worst
I wish the Mastodons, Smilodon, American lions/cave lions and Megatherium had survived I'm equally interested in late Pleistocene era mammals as well as dinosaurs. :/
Maybe somewhere there's some survivors or at least woolly mammoths in the cold tundra like mountains.
We got a few relics but unfortunately most of the iconic ice age beasts are gone.
I know on kaimere they’re might just be a kaimerean version of hateg island or Madagascar were many species thought to be extinct in the know world still survive but dwarfs or giantism and there
Hi! Been binging these videos myself and with some friends. Fantastic worldbuilding, my dude.
Quick question though - ¿What happened to the Clovis humans? Besides the established members of Homo that you’ve mentioned, are there populations of unaltered Homo Sapiens on Kaimere, perhaps beyond the known world? We’ve been around for 250,000 years-ish and have been fairly spread out, so it’s likely homo sapiens has been in several harvests, though I could be wrong.
Glad you've been enjoying!
Kaimerans are descended from Homo sapiens that came from Africa around 250k years ago. The Clovis humans integrated into Kaimeran communities as they were the same species. As they are such close relatives of Kaimerans, they didn't remain distinct for long. Probably only took a thousand years for them to fully assimilate into the peoples of Arvel if they went west, the Khalin and Pakardiant if they went south, and Telmede if their canoes took them east. Most Assembly anthropologists do consider modern Kaimerans their own species since the magic in their lineage makes their lifespans so prolonged that they aren't readily compatible with humans anymore. However, back when the Clovis integrated, Kaimerans didn't yet have that hereditary magic so they could freely take in the few hundred Clovis who arrived.
Good video Keenan! And by the way what was interesting and fun bit you enjoyed?
I most enjoyed the research for this one, particularly the birds. Loved drawing the hummingbird (part of why I zoomed in lol)
It would be very cool if a mass extinction happens with the Portal closed, then we would see how trully bizarre ecossystem would emerge milions of years later...
Taylor, how did Quaja native species go to the southern islands and Parkadia? Have the geography changed since that time? Was they hitch hiking with the humans on boats? Did they swam, if so how since it is so far away? I Am rather interested.
They go both by swiming, mainly (fpr the neocnus sloth for example), by themselves, and it's sure that kaimerans boat travel help a lot time to time.
And nope, the landmass disposition remain all exactly the same like they are today.
Can we get an F for the smilodon?
F
@@TalesofKaimere Also if the harvest wasn't interuptted by the first children would've North American Pleistocene megafauna survived or not?
@@pangeaman0395 Some probably would have survived, some would adapt, others would go extinct. No harvest has a 100% success rate so it's safe to assume some simply couldn't adapt.
Makes me wonder two things.
One, will there be a modern harvest?
Two, can the Portals transfer/Copy metal or stone?
The Cervaticus deers are also why there any Red Deer (from Europe), Sambar deer (Asia) or Wapiti (North America) on Kaimere !
These later species were harvested but because their niches were alredy occupied by the Cervaticus ones, they become extinct.
Shame but it's like the life go ...
I recall seeing Hukolgur having range in part of Qajar, how exactly did they make it back in?
Swimming and climbing, although I think the black sloth is much more likely to be the beast in question now
@@TalesofKaimere glad theres still a bigass sloth in qajar regardless!
0:40 Wait under indrykai is that a Therizinozaur
also the highland mammoth is a descendant of the woolly mammoth, right ??
If I remember correctly it was a deinocheirid
Highland mammoth is descended from the steppe mammoth, which was ancestral to the woolly mammoth. Basically woolly and highland mammoths are the kids of the steppe mammoth but not the same species as each other.
Wait just one more question did the Carolina parakeets have made it in Kaimere
Did the first children figure out how to use the portal as a form of copier? I mean in the way that they could replicate a mastodon on qui then harvest the material they wanted from it to make Cameron?
While the only known function of the whistling door is sending to and from Earth, all I will confirm is that it can do a whole lot more than the Free States currently understand
Random question : Despite that the Portal is now free from First Children and Kaimeran utilisations, he was highly hit and hurt by them who were unawere that the Portal was himself a living being creature. And he was badly hurt because they ordered him to do things against his own nature and functioning.
Because of this, the Portal is in a sort of stasis state were he do anything more.
There will be no more natural harvest before a long time ! (thankfully, the Known World and Kaimere planet state currently is stable and will currently enter a new official dysnaty !)
How many time the Portal will take to entirely recovers and healed himself to restart again the naturals harvest ?
Do you think a hypothetical Mexican plestiocene harvested like Cuvieronius Mexican horse Stockoceros mountain deer Paramylodon Mexican grizzly bears and notiomastodon were harvested how would they do
@@rylanbrewer3320 The Last Natural Harvest, which occured at 12,000 kya, aka the end of the Last Ice Age, and take place indeed in the same time and location of all of these species lived (the range of the harvest go from Florida to far south the Latine countries and Central America, including a good part of Mexico), most were if not all were obviousely harvested yo Kaimere.
(Cuvieronius and Notiomastodon lived mainly in South America, don't know if some small populations lived in Central America, but let be optimistic in that aspect that some specimens could have been harvested still).
However, as said in the current video here, the Harvest in question was short due to being stopped by the First Childrens, and all the megafauna animals were killed by them right after replication.
Already if animals as large than the big American Mastodon or medium sized animal don't escape and was butchered quickly, so every creatures you asked make it to Kaimere, but don't even remained alived for few minutes or half of an hour at best.
Not all the megafauna butchered is recorded, Keenan didn't gived a complete list, but the one given in the episode still a good global view to what was harvested and was lost and the most iconic prehistoric creatures at the time, like Smilodon and American Mastodon being part of this harvest.
Most megafauna creatures mentionned in this list are North America creatures mostly.
Mexican Grizzly Bear, as American Black Bear, was obviousely harvested and some obviousely escape the First Childrens massacre.
But like the American Black Bear, Red Fox and Extant Canis lupus Wolves, was integrated quickly into the Uku Bear's, like the others were integrated into the Kaimeran fox and Kaimeran Jackals populations respectively, with a low DNA part of him being present in the one of the Uku Bear.
And only about the Arvelith populations of it.
If another earlier Pleistocene Harvests have came more early, somewhere beford the arrival of the First Childrens on Qajar, they would have otherwise their chances.
But most (see any) of the ones you mention lived before or a lot before to 12,000 kya.
So if most don't existed when the hypothetical early harvest occured, they could have not be harvested.
@@dudotolivier6363 but would cuiveronis and Mexican horsessurvive
@@dudotolivier6363 would Capromeryx and megaloynx andHemiauchenia survie how well would they do
@@rylanbrewer3320 They would maybe survived, but either they haven't existed before 12,000 kya for a potential earlier other North America Harvest, or either were harvested at 12,000 kya but ultimately were killed after replication by the First Childrens.
So none of it would be in Kaimere and established on it.
Random Question : This "End Pleistocene America Harvest", we cana lso call the "Last Ice Age America Harvest" was an harvest who recovered the North, Central and South America (and in this case, it's should be good to call this harvest the "Pleistocene Americas harvest") or only the North and Central ones ?
Because among the birds there the Resplendisent Quetzal among them, a South American specie. No ?
I think the map of the harvest shows it dipping slightly into South America but not enough to consider it a South American harvest. Also I think quetzals might have had a larger range in the past bc I remember them being sacred to the Mayans or Aztecs and both of those groups are Central American
As Tinker said below, the harvest dipped into South America, and quetzals were common in Mexico during pre-colonial times. This species I think is more common in South America, but they are still present in Southern Mexico, and during the ice ages, their range would have been more equatorial.
@@TalesofKaimere Okay, so this harvest is definitely only North and Central America ! Good to know that !
I think this is the first time I've seen those 'western giants'. Haven't heard of them before, so I assume they're either extremely limited in range or extinct entirely? They do interest me
They are super rare in the known world, but actually widespread throughout Arvel, sometimes integrating with Arvelith Kaimeran settlements.
@@TalesofKaimere I was believe that the Homo altus and the Kaimeran have no interactions with each others !
Cool to see that there at least one example with the Western/Arvel Homo altus population with the Qajarith kaimerans (even if it's not common) !
Really intersting to know
All the cetaceans species harvested during this event are specie who where already present on Kaimere from prior/previous Pleistocene harvests (like the North Eurasia/Europe one), and there any real lost since the targeted animals just mix with the already existing Kaimere population of their own same specie !
Anyway, also, If we must take into account one crucial detail ... It's that, of every animals, birs are alway the most successfull animals whatevers the havests !
Because, since they can fly, they all can flee, escape and go/spread to anothers regions suitable for them if a problem occurs in the place where they are introduced !
It's also the same thing with marine/aquatic animals since, well ... they can swim between landmass !
So, whatevers the harvests, it's will alway the terrestrial/lands animals who will suck/suffer a lot if there a problems !
Ouch ...
I recently realised that "Kaimere" sounds a lot like "Chimaera"
Alligators are my favorite crocodilian now when I was a kid I used to like crocodiles more but alligators there’s something I really like about them
I love gators they’re so cool!
So we have the first children to thank for ruining the last harvest...
Also, what would happen in an event that would destroy the whistling door?
It would take a lot of knowledge and power. Currently the portal's energy is powering the door, basically it fuels and maintains its own prison.
That’s basically kaimere you either adapt and survive or meet your end at the hands of the first children or whatever else compete with you
@@rylanbrewer3320 I agree with that.
And some of the American alligators are the same size as what they were back on earth but some are 20 feet long so that’s the size of some of the saltwater crocodiles
imagine the Jersey Devil, Sasquatch, and even Mothman in Kaimere!
People ! For the one who are sad that the American Mastodon elephant was eradicated enterely to extinction on Kaimere by the First Children when this species was harvested on Kaimere...
Know it !
There noneless at least ONE elephant specie who look closely to a Mastodon on Kaimere !
It's the dwarf elephant Tuga !
This specie is a Paleoloxodon specie who live and who is fairly common in the Southern Island.
But despite being a Paleoloxodon specie, the Tuga look very closely in physical appearance to a Mastodon. And in the islands, he must fitt the same ecological niche than the Mastodon on earth. Being a browser and forest animal like the Mastodon.
It's a convergent evolution between probocidean we can see here !
Fun fact : for a long time, I even confused this specie to be a mastodon because Keenan have made a Pacific Mastodon reconstruction he use on the elephant day special video.
(Because yes, the American AND the Pacific species was both harvested on Kaimere but not thrive very long sadly. That make a total of TWO Mastoton specie extinct on Kaimere !)
And from far distance, the Tuga and Pacific Mastodon design models are so close in shape and appearance that I thought to be even the same animal.
And since Keenan often re-use time to time the same illustration for different purposes, I was believed that he made the Pacific Mastodon illustration and re-used it for the Tuga elephant, making only a size difference like detail to present them as two differents apart species. But no, it's was just me who did not see the littles differences between the two designs (but in the video, the two are so far from one of the other when the video play that you can alway confused them).
The Pacific Mastodon reconstruction is also the same we can see in this current video for the American Mastodon depiction. Here it's a real re-utilisation of the same picture to present two apart species.
But here, it's okay, the two specie being in the same genus and very close phylogeneticaly that they must have any real physical differences in real life.
Well maybe a freeing of the Portal could be a "endgame" kind of Story you could make
Such a plot would be fun
Hey just wondering, did the Carolina Parakeet go extinct on Kaimere too? Or were they not harvested? I was just wondering because they were pretty widespread on the east coast of North America.
I’m not sure yet but since there is such a high diversity of established parrots and kin in the known world, if the Carolina parakeet did come through, it’s probably survived only as hybrids.
I love the fact that opossums are called Shag rats in kaimere, that's a fun name to say, sshhaaag rat!
Random Questions :
1 - What the specie scientifc name of the First Children, nevrospensis, means ?
2 - Officially, kaimeran are a subspecie of homo sapien like you definitely staed in a previous video (it's only inside Kaimere universe world that anyone don't truly know the real situation of both humans and kaimerans). However, since, in a specie, at the moment there one subspecie reconized, there alway two subspecie who exist (it's a biological obligation) ! So, hve you given a subspecie name for us, normal earth humans and the ones brought on kaimere during the antiquity era ?
I realized 4 types of bison would've been harvested at this time: antiquus, bison, occidentalis, and priscus.
Indeed
I am curious why you didn't included some invasive species from America that on Earth are very devastating. I am talking about largemouth bass, red slider turtle, american bullfrog and various species of american crayfish etc.
For this particular harvest, it was mostly megafauna that were culled by the First Children, so the portal targeted megafauna in its harvest. There were bass, turtles, and bullfrogs amongst those harvested, which may have had widespread success, integrated as hybrids into related species (all three had Miocene ancestors I assume although I'm not certain). Time constraints were also a factor as I didn't have time to illustrate every animal that had success, just wanted to highlight a few. Also just because they were highly successful in some Earth contexts doesn't mean they will outcompete everything in Kaimere that occupies the same niche. It sometimes happens, as it did with mallards and cottonmouths, but not every time of course.
I have a question are Coelacanths in Kaimere?
Don't know but probably a couple members of their clade are!
@@TalesofKaimere thank you for clarifying
When will the Permian Island vid be shown I remember you said it would be out somewhere in August
@@TalesofKaimere They are the peck of life they made themselves top order carnivores by tasting bad and have perfected the headstand hunting ability.
I gotta ask. With harvests occurring since the Devonian period, how would many species suddenly disappearing affect the course of life on Earth? It’s a miracle that it seems that it’s remained more or less the same from what I’ve seen. Has Earth life been negatively impacted by harvests?
There have definitely been harvests that hit the wrong place at the wrong time and wipe out some species on Earth.
@@TalesofKaimere Oof. And somehow humans still evolved lol. Do you go into great detail about Earth in this universe in your books?
Where Fraser fir’s ever harvested during the interrupted harvest and did they make it to present day Kaimere
I have only finalized a dozen or so tree species. Fraser firs haven’t been studied or set so I can’t say yes or no
so are there kaimeran animals on earth then?
Most of the people : Beuh Keenan ! Why the Portal replicated and did spawn the Megafauna and all the others modern american species of this "End Pleistocene Harvest" only in Qajar pennisula region and not both as the same time directly on the Western/Arvel Continent ?
Since you said that when a harvest occurs, the Portal directly introduce the creatures he brought into biome on the Known World who are the most closely looking to the one on earth where they are taken !
Because all should had better chance to survive and make it into modern time if that was the case. Why ?
You (Keenan Taylor) : It's because Qajar region is the Western Continent landmass part who is the closest to the Portal location !
It's a sort of "Entry Point" for every species that he think they will be good and have better chance of survival in the Western Continent main biome (this later being close both for the North, Central American and South Asia, India species, since it's a temperate and tropical conifers forest biome mainly).
Plus, being introduced here let the animals to be better included and integrated with the already established ecosystem when the new arrivals go up futher west step by step and match with the local life who will adapt to their new presence. Slowly, little by little ovetime.
But sadly, this same entry point that the portal always use for millions of years was also at the time the new recent home (in geological size range) of the First Children who have established here since and sometime after the African Harvest at 255-248 kya.
So, that was sadly the wrong place at the wrong time ! (ouch...)
If the Portal also put the american species here to, it's maybe in part also because that outside the First Children themselves, their own agriculture plants and animals stuff for food ... there was completely almost anything else like life specie in term of plants and animals.
And because of that, the Portal sense this "hole" of life in this region and made a harvest to repopulate this later (without knowning that will let his own demise and will give the ultimate power to the First Children to be the monsters they were !).
The Megafauna and others animals were directly replicated into their advanced cities (strangely made in part of wood, but whatever ...) and even inside their house. In part, because the Portal usually use water like food and source element to do the replication process and since the First Children have many canalisations and reserves of water in their cities... well, I guess I don't need to elaborate further XD !
The creatures attack the First Children by surprise in their back and because of all the stress due to their abduction and the enterely new environement, the First Children was almost unable to mind-control them, among other things, and suffered more or less big losses the first time this last harvest begin to happen the first time.
Despite that the First Children were taken by surprise and had high fears of this event (at leas to compensate their bad actions they arlready done and to come), they however sat up quickly and were prepared when the second time/wave of the harvest occured, and it's here that they do a huge eradication/genocide who was not good to see, and discovers the Portal and all his secrets that will led hem to their Golden Age !
An Era that will leave her impactfull mark on the face of Kaimere history itself (especially for the worse...).
Did Anacondas or titanoboa make it through any of the South American harvests? I’ve noticed that there seem to be 0 species of python/boas present in Kaimere
I just haven’t gotten around to snakes. Titanoboa is definitely a no. Haven’t taken the time to study snakes to confirm but I can say there will be a range of constrictors analogous to anacondas even if anacondas themselves aren’t present.
🤠👍🏿
I wonder since the Portal is a living being if there aren’t others out there on Kaimere and if so would they still be doing what comes naturally to them, a little bit of hope for the species that the First Children mindlessly killed, the little bastards.
Edit: Also a story about a collection of peoples attempting to free the portal would make for a great story.
So when an animal manifests on Kaimere after a harvest, they just poof into existence? In a blink and you miss it moment?
Prob takes a moment for the bigger ones
It seems alligatoroids are more resistant to cooler temperatures than crocodyloids are.
Since two of the northernmost crocodilians are alligatoroids (The American and Chinese alligators).
With the former being found as far north as the Carolinas, and the latter being found in (where else) China.
With the only northernmost crocodyloid (The American crocodile) being found no farther north than south Florida (to my knowledge)
Technically the northernmost would be the mugger crocodile and possibly Nile crocs in Egypt though the Chinese alligator is still a bit further north than either of them.
no bison :(
RIP to the real ones
shame about Cougars, though slightly larger their ability to easier subsist on smaller prey may have allowed them to supplant Leopards as top cat.
It’s possible. Both are highly successful and adaptable cats, and just because leopards outcompeted eurasian Puma doesn’t mean it would necessarily have gone that way on Kaimere.
So were Canadian geese, the real terrors of North America, brought to Kaimere?
Wait a second... U wouldn't kill kaimere with a mass extinction, right?.... So the portal WOULD eventually be free... right?.... Oh wait, I just realised that mass extinctions have survivors
I have a feeling that the first children aren’t actually dead…
It’s possible
Oh hell naw
(Punts them back to the stars)
The first children reminds me if moth man that America legend you know for some reason.
What are the western giants like? Are they related to the maku or the giants?
They are the Homo Altus population of the Western Continent, nothing more to say about them.
They are descended from H. erectus, and were part of the genetic makeup of the Maku, who were created by the First Children as soldiers and workers.
Oh, OF COURSE the portal to Kaimere on Earth is located in the Bermuda Triangle
I have my tacky moments
If a mass extinction happens, and ALL the titanosaurs go extinct, the entire house of cards that is the known world’s ecosystems will fall apart. Because the trees have been evolving alongside the titanosaurs, attempting to grow large enough to not be pushed over. If those titanosaurs suddenly disappear, and never come back… then their niche will be left permanently vacant. Mammals simply can’t grow that big, and only the shield drakes would have the brute strength needed to push over a redwood sized tree.
Só from what i understand if the portal won,t bê free, kaimere Will suffer and there's no second chance then?
Also, whats gonna happen If the portal free itself?
Wait, you put mallards and wood ducks as the main duck species? THOSE ARE THE DUCK SPECIES TO BE THE MOST HYBRIDISED! There is litteraly no duck species that did not hybridise with either (or both) of those ducks! And A LOT of those duckbhybrids are fertile (specially the males)
The only (!) duck species that does not (extremly rare) hybridise with either of those species is the mandarin duck.
Also hybridisation increases the mutation rate.
Therefore if any humans breed those duck spezies, they will create hybrids! And got a higher mutationrate for their duck breeds. Look at chiken and duck breeds as inspiration what they could have done with those birds.
And now add some magic.
