It's just a small thing, but I find it funny that the bush dog and maned wolf are off on their little branch with the shortest and longest legs respectively.
It's so interesting to see how a natural corridor allowed canids to find these ecological opportunities and expand their territory. Ironically, now, we have to create corridors like this one to save species. Our crew recently filmed a project that aims to create a jaguar corridor through south and central America to save the species. Jaguars lost 50% of their natural habitat, which makes it harder for them to find each other and reproduce. Travelling wouldn't be a problem for them, but the territory they have to cross to reach protected areas are roads, and croplands, making everything extremely dangerous for them. On the positive side, the project is already showing promising results.
More of these corridors are needed. In a number of places around the world there are dedicated bridges for wildlife to safely pass between areas that are bifurcated by man-made structures. Still, there aren't nearly enough and far more are needed.
Yes indeed. Florida also is creating natural corridors to help the florida Panther rebound back from the bring of extinction. Originally they roamed all of the SE USA. But now there are only 250 left with only breeding population in SW florida. Hopefully they allow these bills to pass to protect the Florida Panther; bc there’s only so many pieces of unspoiled paradise left.
And the sad part is, Darwin sat on his discovery for 20 years out of fear religious thugs attacking him (and it really happened, Darwin was verbally assaulted dozens if not hundreds of times and his theory was rabidly torn apart, but he was lucky a few young atheist biologists like Thomas Henry Huxley adopted his thinking as it was based on prof, not stone age voodoo, and started vigorously fighting back, or the theory of evolution would be buried and forgotten for the next century)...

Technically evolution to some level was being worked on before.

While things like epigenetics have brought up aspects of those periods in super specific areas, this realisation around natural selection was what truely ended up creating modern biology

@@Alusnovalotus they are not extinct yet neither the Guaraní culture nor the Aguará guazú. They are in danger yes, but because of modern reasons. Yes colonialism had a lot yo do with it.
In some parallel universe, Darwin stayed in mainland South America long enough to take notes on the different canids and foxes became synonymous with evolution instead of finches.
@@qAngel Darwin woulda had to run around SA to get the picture. So that's appro. But the finches were a much simpler example, the process was much more obvious and recent.

There's actually a frog species discovered by Darwin in Chile. Now is called "Ranita de Darwin" and it is small. Like, a really small frog. Darwin did a lot of research when traveling in this piece of land. Amazing, to say the least.
Oh wow, I never knew the South American canids are all so closely related! I always thought the New World Foxes came from Old World Foxes while the Bush Dog and Maned Wolf was their own thing. That’s REALLY COOL!
@@markdodd1152 sure is. I always imagine they're using high knee boots. 🤣 It's weird to me call them maned. We call them Guará wolf's, Guará means Red in tupi.
North American foxes ARE related to Old World foxes, but all the South American canids are more closely related to the common ancestor of wolves, coyotes, and jackals.
I got 10 seconds in before I gasped, paused, and immediately bought your book for my son. Reviewing its details for how amazing it would be for him was almost just a formality.
i mean on one hand we wouldn't have scientific knowledge without darwin but on the other hand, the number of rare exotic animals he clubbed, shot, skinned and dissected for science, as well as the galapagos tortoises he cooked and ate...😭😭😭
Sometimes I go a few weeks without watching an Eons episode, I sort of forget, and then it can be almost surprising how incredibly high quality they are. Also this one was just particularly interesting. 👍
Kallie's book is awesome! I read through almost the entire thing in one night, but it covers a huge variety of prehistoric topics, a lot of which are based on Eons videos! My favorite page is the Ediacaran spread.
Darwin just casually icing that fox with his mallet, like it's the natural first impulse to have when you see an animal you haven't encountered before. Yeah... This guy was a biologist alright. 😅
I'm very happy to share that i worked for a few months with the ministry of environment about the conservation of this fox (among other species too!). i'm no longer helping but i hope the conservation efforts are going well and bureocracy can be defeated
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that in the beautiful graphic of Darwin's Fox, you can see Darwin's shadow looming behind him with the hammer raised?

I love the maned wolf. At first I thought it was a fox, so finding out it was a wolf was a big surprise. It is the most graceful and delicate canid ever.
Love the episode!! Also video suggestion, dire wolf again? Especially with new info about them and them not being related to wolves? And again this episode was great!!
The fact the ‘most recently’ in this video context is a scale of 2 million years is absolutely fascinating, comparing against 80 years of our life span, it’s a reminder that how trivial our lives are. Have fun!

1:14 We have a fox around here (southern Oregon) that resembles the fox directly behind Darwin's fox on the chart. It looks very much like a cat. When I first saw one I called it a "cat-squirrel". Typed it into Google and found out it was closer to a dog!
I just asked my local public library to purchase Kallie's book--I hope they do, so I and lots of others can read it! Regarding Darwin bonking that poor fox, I guess it helps to remember that, unlike a modern naturalist, Darwin couldn't take photos or videos of it, and I'm guessing he understood he might never again have the chance to visit that part of the world, so he probably felt he couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a specimen of that species, while he could.

Hey guys!! I love your videos, and I had a question for maybe a future episode :) it’s been long debated about how massive sauropods managed to get blood to their brain. Some say they had one big heart, but it’s been argued the blood would be too slow and gravity would bring it back down. Other’s say there was more than one heart! I’d love to see what kind of research about that you guys can find :)
Amazing the the spread of the South American canids went all along the southern end of the Andes. I wonder if that was the case for more invading mammals like the felines and the lama's.
Well for one, the Amazon rainforest wouldn’t be as grand as its development was assisted by the Andes, with rivers coming down the mountains and flowing out to sea
