  • During the Tyrant Dynasty, Tyrannosaurs held firm the apex predator niche. In their shadows, dromaeosaurs, ceratosaurs, and entelodonts vied for vassal titles. With the passing of the tyrants, all three grew large to stake their claim. While megaraptorans rule today, the three lords of Kairul still hold niche titles.
    Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

    9:54 This piece called "Swamp King's Wrath" is just Marvelous ! For three things !
    1 - Firstly, because it alway funny to see a theropod's face from a completely front view, and it alway end up giving a weird and odd looking visual on the creature. So it's very entertaining to contemplate.
    2 - That allow us to see better its crests on the Tikakatik's head which from this same perspective, as for its odd face as just mentionend above, allow us to see that they formed a somewhat crown on it head.
    Which consolidate its title of king in a way.
    and 3 - We can clearly see at the background a current advanced Earth's drone !
    Used by the Assembly to watch and study the creatures whithout disturbing them in their natural environnement.
    I LOVE such kind of details.
    And it give a truly more immersive vibe in some aspect too !

    Weren't there some Tyrants survivors in Kairul or it's crown, like the Nehamu of Arvel?

    In addition to all the information on tikakatik I'm very pleased with the reveal of some more kairulan fauna. The landshark in particular caught my attention as it looks similar to both my favourites dinosaur of all time - Carnotaurus and another theropod I really like - Concavenator. We also finally have a design for the, already mentioned several times, semi-aquatic rhinos of Kairul, as well as a conformation that chasmosaurines still persist in Kairul, plus a giant leptoceratopsid.

      @Andrey.Ivanov 10 месяцев назад +6

      It's probably unknown canonically, but I don't think so. Selacosaurus on the other hand could be related to Carnotaurus, but then again it could be convergence and it would be tough to verify an ancestral genus from 70 or more million years ago, assuming that it's even a genus which we know from the fossil record, which is also highly unlikely.

      We don't know their ancestors, which obviousely existed, but we know for sure the lineage from which they come.
      But for such old ancestry, discovering from which line of Abelisaurid specifically all Kaimeran Abelisaurid descend is extremely harder.
      The only wave of Terror Birds to Kaimere was at 6 Mya, which still very, very young in geological time, while for Abelisaurid, we must seek at least 60 to 70-80 mya.

    I do like that you refer Abelisaurid and Noasaurid as Ceratosaurs, when speaking of both at the same time, because a fact that isn't very-well shared is that both families are closely related and part of the same order that include the family of Ceratosaurus itself ! (and well to be related with this latter too).
    I also find interesting that Ablisaurid remained dominant, thrived, are diverses and numerous on Kairul, where Noasaurid are either extremely low in number or just absent, and that at the oppossite, Noasaurid are dominant, diverses and numerous on the Known World, Arvel and Ni'Kh'ar, where Abelisaurid are totally absent here.

    Because where the Giant Entelodonts, Giant (Eu)Dromaeosaurs and and Giant Semi-Aquatic Abelisaurs managed all to have at last one giant, large member of their clade each (which themselves are one of the numerous clades that they wider family/order have, since there many faimilies of more or entirely typical-sized Enelodonts, (Eu)Dromaeosaurs and Abelisaurs as a whole), the clade of the Giant Terrestrial Abelisaurid have lost all their Giant members, and only in Modern Times have few surviving species.
    Species that have survived justly because they were smaller.
    But this terrestrial abelisaurs must compete with the others terrestrial abelisaurs of the others terrestrial abelisaurs clade that never went giants.
    Which obviousely must no be easy, even if some of these last suriving "Giant" members still have a decent run on Kairul....

    1. 2:31 Is this referring to during or after the Mesozoic? It seems that the mega abelisaurs, dromaeosaurs, and enteldonts in the Known World prior to the arrival of Arvelith megaraptorans may have been retconned?
    2. Even though fights between males of tikakatik (not to be confused with tiktaalik) and kurajaku aren’t close, do tikakatik have at least any win conditions against male kurajaku?
    3. What would happen if a tikakatik were to meet a spinosaurus?

    • @TalesofKaimere
      @TalesofKaimere  10 месяцев назад +2

      1. Those were never intended to be part of the known world. While there may have been some big abelisaurids in Ni’Khar, the others are and I believe have always been endemic to Kairul. If I implied as much in the megaraptoran series, it’s definitely been retconned.
      2. There’s a chance, but considering the largest tikakatik bulls are 12 tons and average adult kurajaku bulls are 35-40 tons, it’s nowhere near a fair fight. Normally the tikakatik just flees. A fight is basically suicide at that size differential. Grabbing the throat is the only chance for a kill, and that just puts the poor ceratosaur in easy range of the claws.

    • @TalesofKaimere
      @TalesofKaimere  10 месяцев назад +2

      3. Since most weight estimates put Spinosaurus under tikakatik, the abelisaurid is more agile and mobile, and their bite is several orders of magnitude more powerful, I put good money on the tikakatik

      Komu would probably do poorly given they don’t hunt any of the Tiller clade. Tikakaktik might do well in the Seridic Wetlands, although they’d have to have a large shift in diet though. They would still face competition from Kurujaku along with new prey and rivals they are unfamiliar with. So I am personally not sure. The Lunar Oliphuants would probably not do well given the abundance of Houze and they very desolate dry seasons. May have a chance in the southern Mosaic forests but again, still desolate in the dry season.

    You know, up until this video, I had no idea that Ceratosaurs, Abelisaurs and Noasaurs were all related. If I got my paleontology right, Noasaurs are more northern hemisphere while Abelisaurs were mostly southern hemisphere animals, although some like Indosuchus are exceptions. Ceratosaurs were once apex predators until Carnosaurs such as Allosaurus, Megalosaurus and Eustreptospondylus took over. For a resurgence, they evolved into new clades. Abelisaurs include famous species like Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus and Rugops, who were either scavengers, mesopredators, and sometimes apex predators. Luckily, they didn't have to face Tyrannosaurs, but new competition came from Carcharodontosaurus and its relatives, as well as Megaraptorans and Spinosaurs. In other words, Abelisaurs didn't get most of the running during their time on Earth.
    I am grateful, yet surprised that a Chasmosaurine survived the Dynastic Extinction, and with your artistry, I'm not at all surprised by how it looks.
    But I do have a question? When did Leptoceratopsids arrive in Kaimere? Are there more besides the Swamp Drake? Do they have a connection to the Ceratopsians of the Known World?

    • @Andrey.Ivanov
      @Andrey.Ivanov 10 месяцев назад +1

      Regarding Abelisaurs and Noasaurs, both families where more prevalent in Gondwana. Abelisaurs are most well known from South America, Africa, Madagascar and India (which at the time was a large island located next to Madagascar, so I would not count is as a northern hemisphere presence). They did however invade parts of the Europian archipelago, namely what is now France, during the Late Cretaceous, almost certainly from Africa. So far no abelisaurids are known from Antarctica and Australia, but since these two continents had a lot of faunal interchange with South America at times it wouldn't be a surprise if they eventually show up there in the fossil record.
      As for noasaurs, they were very weird. They were also known mainly from South Africa, Africa and Madagascar, but the Late Jurassic Limusaurus from example was found in China. Some where carnivores, some where herbivores. Some had weird teeth, some had no teeth. Most were small, but Deltadromeus may have been a giant noasaur. Apparently some like Vespersaur had a monodactylus gate, with a single toe for walking and two modified into retractable raptor-like sickle claws. They are also not currently know from Antarctica or Australia but as I said for the abelisaurs, there's a chance they might have been present.

      @@sivanlevi3867 I don't think there's any record of noasars in North America ever. Apparently it was somehow possible for animals to migrate between North and South America during the Late Cretaceous because Alamosaurus is more closely related to South American titanosaurs then to ones from Asia and saurolophine hadrosaurs made it to South America as well. Perhaps there was a way for animals to island hop when sea levels were lower, but it was rare.

    • @Andrey.Ivanov
      @Andrey.Ivanov 10 месяцев назад

      @@sivanlevi3867 I can't confidently pinpoint their place of origin because Jurassic forms such as Elaphrosaurus and Limusaurs are known from Tanzania and China respectively. But they are both from the subfamily Elaphrosaurinae which means that the split between them and the noasaurine noasaurids must have already occurred by the Middle to Late Jurassic. This suggests a gap in the fossil record of early noasaurids.
      I believe the only definitive ceratosaur of any kind known from North America is Ceratosaurus itself. There's a fragmentary theropod from the Morrison Formation, called Fosterovenator which has been classified as a ceratosaur of some description, with noted similarities to Elaphrosaurus, but its identity as a ceratosaur has been put into question and the known remains are partial tibia and a complete fibula, so not a whole lot can be said or determined about it. There's also a controversial Campanian-aged theropod from Mexico called Labocania which is also very fragmentary and thus it has been placed all over the place. A few similarities with abelisaurids have been noted, and it was even suggested as a relic carcharodintosaur at one point, but it's most likely some type of tyrannosaur.
