It's called old age. All living things break down with age only they have to storm the beach the entire way and they don't recover or heal because they don't even have enough energy for basic function at the end of it
@diooverheaven6561 I thought they just loose the energy to heal. If they mutate it makes me wonder if they face evolutionary pressure to feed the local ecosystems they spawn in in this way lasting long enough to return and feed the nutrients back in to the system
@@entity_unknown_ if i am not mistaken they mutate so that they can make the journey up the rivers and honestly it's kinda gruesome like in ocean faze of theyr life they look just like your typical fish but when they go into spawning faze theyr snout get's elongated and looks deformed they get a hunch, they become red, this mutation is not only drastic but most likely consumes a lot of energy
I like the new look for this species more than the old one, honestly. Really hoping that an Ark mod/tlc comes out that makes it look more like this in game
Imagine catching a giant tusked salmon body in your local river, then it turns out to be alive! Fantastic video, the Neogene was truly a wild time to swim in the seas!

I am bit disappointed the ark version didn't look like that and also is often smaller and rarely is as big. It looks more like a chinhook than a sabre/spiketooth
I like the fact that the stereotype that animals during the ice age had sabre teeth was true🤣🤣🤣(yes i know it went extinct before the ice age and that it didnt actually have sabre teeth)!
some call him "mustachioed salmon", with this nickname I think of a salmon version of Dick Dastardly (with the number 00 on the scales and accompanied by a Mutley shrimp)
When salmon fishing, you see some in rough shape. My friend caught one and it died as he was catching it! Its meat was bone white, and it had almost no blood inside it! I saw one once, the whole skull was showing. It just swam away, looking like the Horseman of the Apocalypse horse!
If I had enough people on Patreon to help fund that video, and if i made more from TH-cam ad revenue sure. Elephants are my favorite animal but are quite difficult to animate, so making projects on them would be very expensive 😢
Fantastic video, a criminally underrated species of giant extinct fish, plus nice coverage of some of the other local marine fauna I do want to say, though, that your comparison with Chinook salmon seems wrong; the size shown looks to be a little under two feet, which is pretty typical for adult Chinook. Record lengths can be almost five feet!! This is the case for some other species of the genus as well, although of course they are all smaller, by average and maximal sizes, than the spike-toothed. Overall, I just want to say that it's tragic how underrated salmonid fish in general are; most people just synonymize them with food. People who fish probably appreciate their beauty more, but then they also often eat them. This happens to lots of animals, they just get reduced to inanimate food in people's minds, but it's especially bad with fish. Trout and salmon are genuinely such gorgeous, large, colorful, charismatic animals, and they deserve more love! They are badass.
One moment it was dubbed as the sabertooth salmon, now its tusked salmon based on recent evidence. Its not the first time of getting an animal's depection wrong after new discoveries.
Not all salmonoids die after spawning some go back out. I've personally cought a kelt Chinook salmon heading back out to see(couple miles from the ocean) not dead or falling apart. I was told, once they hit the salt water, they will slowly start to change back.
Thinking of how some run up the river like race cars while others slowly go up at night from deep hole to deep hole, depending on the salmonoid, it's interesting to think about 100s of these hanging out in a deep hole, or hugging the bank and running up the river as fast as they can in the middle of the day. You think these where summer running? Spring or fall? So interesting
Braised-Salmon-Skin-Roll, nothing else is like it; if bacon & butter had offspring, the flavor would be Braised-Salmon-Skin; only chocolate crunches then melts like that, it's amazing, even if it's not on the menu at a Sushi-Bar & it's not busy just ask, the internet can show the chef what to make.
How did you know that this salmon is semelparous/only breeding once then dying vs iteroparous/breeding continuously like many modern day salmon relatives? Unless there's significant fossil evidence of mature fish dying in mass in freshwater I would have assumed based on the size it would have been more likely to be iteroparous, and so were never "zombies".
If you could how about making paleo video about Ankylosaurs, perhaps even comparing the JW/JP Ankylosaurus with accurate one? Ankylosaurus is my n.1 favourite non-avian herbivore dinosaur? Not now, sure, just if you would find such idea cool...
ATM the five dinosaurs id like to cover are Carnotaurus, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Baryonyx, and T. rex. Ankylosaurus is pretty high on my list tho as it's one of the most outdated dinosaurs in the franchise as a whole.
I agree, with the zombiemorphism of the end of life, it looks a lot like one of those zombies from a B-series horror movie like "lake of horrors" or "gill revenge" or even "SALMON zombie"
The speculation about what they did with the tusks is just head-shaking bad. We already know what modern salmon do with obscenely large teeth they grow just before spawning, which those structures surely must be- modified teeth. They use them to defend their spawning partner from rivals. They would NOT have used them to dig redds, thats the silliest conjecture since 'this must have had great religious importance'. All salmonids dig redds by pumping their tails sideways, there is no reason to suspect these were any different. Any wear on their tusks would be from impact on the river bottom during that maneuver. If these were in fact filter feeders like Sockeye and Chum salmon they almost certainly had minimal teeth throughout their lifecycle, only growing those tusks as they approached the estuary of their home river. It's not like we don't have billions of living examples of relatives of this fish to observe and draw speculation on behavior based on physiology from, but I guess that doesn't generate clicks. It would be interesting to speculate on how it tasted, Sockeye salmon are zooplankton and crustacean feeders, which is the likely diet of this fish based on physiology. Sea run and landlocked sockeye both have dark red, tasty meat, and its possible this fish did as well.
Post-run salmon are legit the closest thing to undeath that exists in our world and it's creepy as hell.
It's called old age. All living things break down with age only they have to storm the beach the entire way and they don't recover or heal because they don't even have enough energy for basic function at the end of it
Try going to a skilled nursing facility.. same idea lmao 😅
@@entity_unknown_from my knowlage it's less of old age thing and more the fact they mutate

2:04 Holy crap, that's big. Jeremy Wade would've had a field day with this fish.

I feel “Tusked Salmon” or “Hog-Toothed Salmon” would’ve been better common names.
I think you meant common name. A binomial name is the unique scientific name given to an organism, in this case, Oncorhynchus rastrosus.
@@patrick_j_lee
Ah yes, I forgot what the scientific term for a “common name” is.
I wonder what T Rex would’ve been named if it didn’t go extinct

NC you have outdone yourself this time as always, this video was just so amazing and am glad I watched this video and wish you have a great day!
Thank you my dude! I really appreciate it!
Awesome video on this fish! Didn’t realize it was that massive!
I love this video! salmon, their one of my favorite fish cause they're so interesting and BIG! And a massive salmon like that sounds crazy!
The animations are rad
Been a long time since you did a video
There was one for April, but it's currently Patreon exclusive :D
some call him "mustachioed salmon", with this nickname I think of a salmon version of Dick Dastardly (with the number 00 on the scales and accompanied by a Mutley shrimp)
Congratulations on achieving over 52 thousand subscribers. 🎉
I bet it would taste good on my dinner plate
the bubbles sound make me giggle, reminds me if spongebob
Underrated tbh
These Spiked Tooth Salmon made a dangerous journey while Otodus Megalodons reigned. The Miocene was an interesting time.
Don't forget macroraptorial sperm whale

they would not attracted the gigantic adult but the juvies (which were modern great white sized) would feast on them.
I like to call it war-tusk salmon
No, thank you for the fascinating information!
great videeoooooooooooo!!!
Great video. 👍
Man imagine catching one of these monsters that'd be a fisherman's most prized catch
“Found in central Oregon” highlights southern Californian and Washington (love the vid)
nice video
That's a gnarly looking fish
You make me a sushi lover extremely excited
I've caught a 20 kilo salmon...catching one ten times that size? C'mon, time travel!
The Neogene period needs more representation in the modern documentaries. Especially after hearing that BBC is bringing back Walking with Dinosaurs.
I know this is comical for a common name, but I just love calling it the "woolly salmmoth."
big sushi meal

-shuts off immune system
-kills everything that moves
-dies

(Qui-Gon Jinn) There's always a bigger fish.
that salmon be lookin like, the one piece, the one piece is real
It's pretty!
nice video, bro!
l love salmon btw
going right into my Prehistoric DnD setting
Fascinating!
In a not so distant future, there could be a video like this about the tusked elephant

Imagine getting attacked by this thing, your headstone would be so dumb lol
Imagine a 9 foot long nearly 500 lb zombie fish with giant tusks coming out of the sides of its head just casually swim by you, terrifying!
