    • @biggay8140
      @biggay8140 5 лет назад +6

      The Natodomeri lion had a minimum estimate for the basal length. The basal length being about 20-30mm shorter than the condylobasal basal length. This would give us a 405mm average length of the condylobasal skull. The greatest length however is even greater than the condylobasal skull length and so the total skull length may have been over 450mm. Making it about as big or bigger than the american or mosbach lion. Thanks for big lil for the info.

    I absolutely love Amphicyons and I think they are a bit underrated. They outcompeted not only hyaenodonts but also entelodonts , famous terminator pigs - big beasts from Oligocene and early Miocene. They were a large and diverse family of mammals living in many habitats and showing adaptations to predatory lifestyle, some became hypercarnivorans, some retained their ancestral omnivory. It is so sad that they dissappeared.

    • @glenbe4026
      @glenbe4026 5 лет назад +7

      Carnivorans are split into two family groups. The Feliforms (Cats, Mongoose, Civets) and the Caniforms (Canines [Dogs/Wolves/Foxes], Bears, Mustelids [Weasles/Otters/Wolverine], Skunks, Raccoons, Red Pandas, Seals/Walruses). So yes, a seal is more closely related to your dog than a cat.

    • @rickseiden1
      @rickseiden1 5 лет назад +4

      Of course, all of you are correct, but I meant more closely related than just having some mammalian ancestor, or belonging in the same group of Caniforms. I look at them and think they have to be close cousins of a sort. Related by, say arbitrarily, 1,000,000 years instead of 75,000,000 years. I don't know how to explain it, I guess.
      Like, humans and mice, both mammals, are related. We have some common ancestor. Humans and chimpanzees are also related with some common ancestor. The common ancestor of humans and chips is much closer to us than the common ancestor of humans and mice. I feel like the common ancestor of dogs and bears is very close to them.
      Maybe I should have said that I've always that dogs and bears have to be very closely related.

    Eons is by far my favorite educational show on RUclips and thank you all for the work you do make it.
    A couple topics I thought of that might be interesting:
    - What sort of large mammals lived in South American before it connected with North American? You touched on this breifly a couple times but I'd love to know more. Apparently there was a saber toothed marsupial-like animal?
    -What was Australia like before the great central desert formed? Australia once had migrating herds of giant wombats but what else was there?
    -What have we learned in recent years about the evolution of penguines?

      Galloanserae the group including all "fowl" birds both water and ground split off from other dino lineages 99 Mya or so and both kept a low profile in their preferred habitats while nesting on the ground and thus survived the mass extinction so that ought to count for something. Their groups are quite diverse but they do seem relatively "stuck" to the same body plan and general niches and thus not as versatile as the big winner among dinosaurs the Neoaves
      But hey at least fowl have maintained a far higher diversity than the other bird lineage the Paleognathae which were primed to evolve into long lived megafauna which humans butchered.... So congrats on not going extinct?
      I mean there is one defining trait of Galloanserae which stands out in the animal kingdom for all the wrong reasons namely their utterly terrifying genitalia.... *shutters*

      The conditions for carbon-based organic life are ridiculously specific, so I think it's entirely possible we're the first. That being said, we can't rule out the possibility of concurrent evolution somewhere else or even a totally separate kind of self-replication mechanism we might not even recognize as life if we found it here

    Non-Pleistocene mammalian prehistory is so underrated, and this episode is a fine example of that. Just because you're not the size of a building or kill with a psuedo humanlike stance doesn't mean you are uninteresting and unworthy of attention. I love dinos as much as the next guy, but their popularity comes at the expense of the eras and animals that came before and after them.
