- Flipper wasn't so nice and wholesome back in the day. For some reason it seems like every animal we all adore was at one point quite monstrous as demonstrated by the Ankylorhiza, a prehistoric nightmarish dolphin.

Bro modern era dolphins are literal Monsters, I can't imagine what prehistoric dolphins would be 😭
They fucking harass literally every other species in a 5 mile radius 💀
I mean, if I'm exposed to the horrors of the ocean my whole life i'd probably want a hit of the pufferfish too.
Honestly the fact modern dolphins survived whilst these ones went extinct is kinda sus.
@@coryfice1881 It's not all about looks, or being "terrifying" to the human mind. It's about survival. Modern dolphins and their direct ancestors, were obviously more adapted to long term survival, than the species of dolphin in this presentation.
@@Ispeakthetruthify You do know I was joking right. Of course modern dolphins didn't exist at the time.
Most sharks: "we look scary but we chill"
Dolphins: *evil laughter that sounds like normal dolphin noises*
Yeah. They can look at you immensely like psycho and laughing together with fellow dolphins. That is not fun.
I’d rather make out with a great white then be alone with Amazon River dolphins. Researchers in that are are often specifically told to get out of the water if they see them. At least if the great white attacks me it’ll be for food, those things would drown me for fun

Thrilled to see my depiction of Ankylorhiza used!! (First photo in the video of it and the skull) I've loved your channel and happy to be a small part of it now!!
That's awesome 👍😎
Pride is an unforgivable sin. Congratulations. Enjoy hell.
What time?
3:42 says Evgenih and has skull, prob this one
& 4:13
penguins doing necrophilia, dolphins who torture their victims for fun, seaotters kidnapping kids of their own, all my childhood pets turn out to be horror monsters O_____o
...pets? you owned these beasts of hell?? AND LIVED????
i both fear and respect you.
@@gingermaniac5484I agree, how the hell do you do that. Plot Armor, I tell you
Humans do that too, dolphins are the most intelligent and self aware animals behind humans so of course
How the fuck did you even managed to acquire them In the first place
@@NeostormXLMAXWho knows how much longer that will stay true
I love how you credit the artists! Not many people do that.
Crocodile: *screaming intensifies*
Dolphins: *"WHY ARE YOU SWIMMING? WHY ARE YOU SWIMMING?!"*
THIS IS GOLD

Crocs dominated over dolphins, are dominant and will continue to dominate.

What do you mean "were". Dolphins are scary as hell
😂
They’ll do you in the booty…
they like creeping up behind you in the ocean pretending to be sharks
@@markkilI don’t think they’re talking about looks…
@@DudeInADinoOnesieThey have almost every trait a normal human would have, other than doing drugs out of pufferfish
3:42 "Keep holding your breath though."
Hardest transition I've ever seen.
I really hope that channels like these that talk about more obscure prehistoric creatures get more attention since prehistory as so many fascinating creatures like this predatory dolphins.
Trouble with the fossil finds is they can pretty much make the fossil say what ever they want within reason and still have no idea what the creature was like originally. How many times have they changed what this or that fossil creature was like? I think there is far too much guess work and wishful thinking.
3:43 "keep holding your breath" 😂😂😂
😂😂
That is how Georgians are baptized 😂😁
Where is the money Lebowski?
Not to be disrespectful of your take, but it seems to make more sense that the front facing teeth were used for rooting in the seafloor, and the tooth damage and bite power would make more sense if it was chomping through something tough. My guess is that it had a regular diet of mollusks and the like.
Interesting point! But being dolphins, they probably used them like a multi tool.
How do you get purchase to do that underwater? I can imagine a walrus doing something like that, with its body weight and size, and locomotive ability, but not so much a dolphin, but those outfacing teeth tend to converge with other species that specialise in catching fish
5:45 the bite force. Watch that part again. Besides, unless those mollusks were 3 or 4 feet in diameter it wouldn't need that bite force or "digger" teeth.
Odontocetes (toothed whales) first emerged at the start of the Oligocene, and it wasn’t long before they too produced some scary marine predators. The most successful and famous would be the various lineages of raptorial physeteroids-the “killer sperm whales”-but they were far from alone. One of the first odontocetes to function as an apex predator was Ankylorhiza tiedemani.
At around 4.8 meters long, this animal was the largest odontocete from the Oligocene, and had one of the most formidable sets of jaws and teeth; its jaws were more heavily built than in its smaller relatives, and its teeth were not only robust, but equipped with cutting edges both front and back. The anterior incisors at the very tip of the jaws were especially large, and they protruded forward to the extent they would likely have been visible even if the animal’s mouth was shut. These were not the teeth of an animal restricted to small fish and squid that it could swallow whole. Ankylorhiza was eating larger fish, sharks, and other cetaceans.
For the entire history of cetaceans as a dominant group of marine predators, they were facing competition from a less diverse but equally successful group; the otodontid sharks, most of which are nowadays considered a series of descendants belonging to the genus Otodus. During the Oligocene, the otodontid shark that acted as Ankylorhiza’s rival was Otodus angustidens, which was large enough that it may actually have been capable of preying on Ankylorhiza, though for the most part they likely hunted similar types of prey. In the following Miocene epoch, other lineages of odontocetes (including new lineages of raptorial physeteroids and large squalodonts) would take up Ankylorhiza’s legacy, while O. angustidens would quickly produce two larger descendants-O. chubutensis, and the infamous O. megalodon.
''Dolphins, an animal we all love.'' I don't think so bro ...
Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks they're shady.
He meant hate I'm pretty sure
Son los únicos animales tan malos como nosotros
They are evil creatures. They grape animals, use other animals to get high, They torture poor sharks for fun. Yet mojang thinks they are more worthy of being added over sharks. (for hypocritical and dumb reasons might I add) fucking hell man. Even in gaming the sharks are being denied access. Yes I am aware this is a bit offtopic but I am still mad about it because We need sharks to rise the frick up.

Found this channel by total chance (don't really watch content like this usually) and I cannot overstate how much fun it has been to watch! It's been a huge help too in my own creature creation as it gives me some fresh and cool perspectives on bone structure and specialized adaptations! LOVE it! Keep up the great work!
Putting this on my watch later for tonight, these are my comfort videos for sleep
I binge these at work to pass the time! Twinsies
Dolphins: “I’m not gonna eat you..
..but I will SA you.”
that 1m skull is terrifying!
Lately, I’ve been hearing alot of people misuse “painstakingly” as if painstaking is synonymous with tedious
Is it not?
@@houselightkellIt is not. Tedious means something is tiresome and monotonous; painstaking means that something is done with great care and thoroughness.
@@veronicaszostalo3157 literally- you are taking pains to be precise
@@veronicaszostalo3157 oh. I see the overlap though
the important thing is not what words actually mean its what you mean by using the word
ok i was wrong you dont need to respond anymore
If y'all watched Casual Geographic's video about Dolphins, you know
I see. So you too are a man of culture.
Yes!! Another fantastic channel!
Or the SNL skit The Dolphin that Learned to Speak. Which is based on a true story.
If you encounter them regularly in real life, you know they’re not that scary lmao.
@@crazydrummer181 bcoz you are mammal nd those are docile dolphins meet them in ocean
Knowing what modern dolphins do (IYKYK), I wonder how much more worse they would have been back then……
But they're so cuteeeeeee
Lol, right!? 😂🤣😭
The art in the thumbnail of this video where a prehistoric dolphin attempts to eat a prehistoric monkey is based off the 1778 painting, Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley, and after finding this out, a British merchant later Baron named Brooks Watson was attacked by a shark as a 14-year old cabin boy in Havana, Cuba in 1749 where his rescuers successfully got him out of the water after he was attacked after three attempts. The story was well known and helped Copley paint the picture and it still exists in DC's National Gallery of Art.
Uhm, dolphins are still the scariest thing in the ocean.
Lol for real. Sharks aren't rapists 😂
@JonHrt-xz6zc ok bot.
@@outdoorfr3akPlenty of other animals also engage in r*pe, cannibalism, p*dophilia and even bestiality lol... I dont think it's fair to judge dolphins because of this when it seems to be almost universally accepted/widespread among all animals
@JonHrt-xz6zc explain how your comment related to mine
@JohnFrank-Hex23 They aren't killing machines. they are animals.
Used to be? Dolphins are still terrifying.
I don't know where are you getting these thumbnails from but they are sick as hell and I always take a screenshot and save them on my phone.
What do you mean, _used_ to be?
That finizen/palafin evolving had me dying 😂
Great content and information keep up the good work
Unrelated to the video, but today I just learned that there was once an extinct species of goat that lived on Balearic Islands that was not like other mammals in the world. For once, it was cold-blooded and have forward facing eyes like a predator 😲
Sounds weird. Got a name on that goat?
Myotragus.
@@Tonycassol-cv9pk Thanks. It is proposed it was cold-blooded to survive on the small amount of food on the island. Nothing more concrete to base that theory on. It is doubtful it actually was cold-blooded.
The cold blooded is still a theory with no solid evidence and also their closest living relative are the Takin
That sounds really creepy
8:34 - That really made me think of Forrest Gump where Bubba talks about shrimp...
This is quickly turning into my favourite channel
It is amazing to see these obscure animals brought to the public's attention
i love these videos, your getting so so pro! great job team♡ keep at it!
Dude your channel is awesome.
Bro just gotta say I love your content my favourite paleo TH-camr and extremely underrated!!! Keep up the good work from England!
Modern day dolphins are already horrifically evil
But they're still anglers if we compare them to dog's and land mammals
Actually, I have heard of it. Love these videos. Fascinating.
Thank you for another excellent and educational video!!
Prehistoric Dolphins Were Absolutely Terrifying.
Moderns are too!
I see what you did with that thumbnail! Great work!
Thank you for your work!
i see you've pumped up the memes and im a fan
Animals we all love? No not me
It's been my mission to tell others the evil of dolphins for years now lol
I hate them too. Not a big fan of rapists.
@@shovellord1117 You know most species of dolphins don't exhibit these darker traits mentioned and even in the ones that do it's rare.
These were terrifying. And it's great your using and crediting artists
What a monster it must have been Thanks very much and congrats on picking up more Sub's
Old F-4 II Shoe🇺🇸
0:49 That Orca's vertical was insane.
Great information about this prehistoric dolphin
I from, thanks for the shoutout. I didn’t know this would’ve been a bad place to live a few million years ago.
awesome videos!
I think I’m pretty sure all prehistoric animals were monsters at one point
Moderns are too
@@user-wy4fc6pn6estop demonizing them
And future
And we lack the awareness to see it in ourselves sadly
Great vid!😅👍
If you watch Casual Geographic, you KNOW the first few sentences are anything but true
Ima take a shot in the dark and say that “robust” is ExtinctZoo’s favorite word. I swear I hear it in every video lol
In his defense, it is a very common term used to describe animals, contrasted with gracile.
For example, we are descended from a gracile group of hominids (that reevolved robustness several times in extinct genera).
Excellent job!
Watching this from Charleston, my dad used to go diving in the cooper river for fossils. More then I know what to do with now 😂
The strange wilderness shark clip lmao
Interesting that it had such a limited range. That probably means that there are extinct species like this around the world waiting for someone to discover their fossilized remains, but if the potential area is so small then we may never find them.
So pretty much the ocean a few million years ago had giant megalodons and sperm whales, that battled with each other, killer dolphins, sea crocodiles. And people think hells aquarium is dangerous.
We still have all of these things, just not as big 😅. I'd still have a stroke if I encountered any of today's animals out in the water 💀
Thalassophobia is real
The phrase "keep holding your breath" while showing that awesome baptism dunk was hilarious.
awesome stuff :)
I cracked a loud one the "keep holding your breath though" part
idk what you mean "used to be"
Very interesting video
Swim with the (prehistoric) dolphins? Yes, if you want to become dinner.
Oh the Marine Crocs, I didn't realize they existed after the KT mass extinction.
Great channel
8:15 - 8:20 he talks about how they’re only found in one small area?
He forgot about the very common behavior of marine mammals to migrate to specific areas to breed and likely die.
These dolphins didn’t have a restricted territory, they’re probably just being found at one of these spots they would migrate to
(Edit) In fact, I’m almost positive that these dolphins are identical to modern dolphins in this way. There’s no way in hell an apex predator with speed on its side would only be in one small area. It might have hung around there often for the abundance of food in the warm surface waters, migrated there to breed, maybe even die, but it probably didn’t live there exclusively
Great video
Ankylorhiza a prehistoric looking tooth whale
Great video, I learned a lot. As an ichthyologist, I feel compelled to correct one small mistake you made. When you said “saw shark” you showed a picture of a sawfish, which is a Ray, not a shark. There are lesser known saw sharks that have convergently evolved a saw like rostrum, but they are distantly related elasmobranchs to the sawfish, which are also elasmobranchs.
It is amazing to sea these artistic imaginations. Even though they obviously they aren't scientific and are purely fictional, they help us imagine what the possibilities could have been.👍
Dolphins be like: “Our ancestors used to be like this”
That teeth reminded me of the Livyatan, which was even bigger (14m), but lived around 9 million years ago.
Helicopron: Well looks like I got new competition ( I know there not from the same time period )
As a South Carolinian, I’m glad that we have the most terrifying dolphin ever 😃
The priest dipping the baby’s head in the water I kno I shouldn’t b laughing but brooooo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Dolphins have a darker side”
Orcas: “Bro, I am *right here*.”
THE POKEMON EVOLUTION LMAO
This video’s title has been changed more times than I would need to change my underwear if I ever encountered one of these things
Nice! 🐬
I remember talking to a marine specialist years ago who said Dolphins are extremely unpredictable and that she always felt safer in the water with sharks over dolphins.
That could just be because sharks = very potential death, dolphins have better press, so we don't put them in the shark category mentally? But yeah, shady bastards. Even ancient Greeks knew you had a 50/50 chance of being helped to shore or pushed further out to sea by them.
So basically, this dolphin is what people think sharks are...
The dolphins thorned phallus is a personal way it is painstaking
"Dolphins used to be terrifying" they still ARE terrifying
Oh man okay wow I’ve seen a lot of scary shit in the fossil record, but Ankylorhiza’s mouth might be the scariest thing I have ever seen. Absolute nightmare fuel.
Never really thought about it but that squid was creepy as hell.
The squid tentacles from the darkness creep me out every time
First minute and I already saw a mistake. Dolphins still are and have always been terrifying. Sea wolves, they are literally SEA WOLVES.
8:03 priceless image
Fascinating.
Dolphins are still terrifying, just in a... different way...
AI doing the reclassifications would be so fun 😂
"Dolphins used to be terrifying" bro never seen what dolphins do to sharks and small aquatic animals if given the chance, like there are just chimpanzees of the sea.
Seemed like it was that dudes name tbh…he was like what? Y’all never heard of ME?? Aka Anky?
Dolphins are still absolutely terrifying, honestly the ones that exist now are probably more sadistic then the ones who existed a long time ago.
Got it, Moe from land before time was actually secretly a menace
When you're in the water with a dolphin and actually touch one, you really feel how big and powerful they are.
I cannot imagine how terrifying that ankyloriza (I'm sorry for misspelling your name - please don't haunt my dreams) was. I wonder how their intelligence rated compared to other animals of their time.
Why was Earth in the earlier Cenozoic more interesting than today's?
Because you're familiar with the critters of today.
Nice Porpoise 🐬😨
Correction - Orcas do not sink ships. They disable them.
