Every time I go to the Moscow Palaeontology Museum I stand and stare at the lonely Longisquama fossil sitting on the wall. One time my scientific advisor told me that this little thing is the most valuable fossil in the whole museum. I often wish that politics would not interfere with science and someone from another country took a closer look at that thing. It’s basically collecting dust since the soviet times. Sometimes I wish I still worked at the museum so I could change things and do a research myself. But I still consider the original Longisquama fossil an old friend of mine even if I don’t work there anymore.
I wonder if the wingles from Hamster's Paradise are based on _Longisquama_? They're lizard-like creatures whose wings are made of modified hairs that they can shed and regrow.
This "gliding boom" is probably caused by appearance of first trees that had branches so now for animals there was a possibility to live in crowns of trees. Before PT extinction there were no branched big plants, so there was just one group of reptiles that glided in Permian
@@user-be8ly2lp4k That's logical ^^ And I guess since the following extinctions had already flying groups survived the extinction (pterosaurs or birds), there was less room for experience (although birds and bats still evolved ^^).
Now now. I'm sure there are planets out there where Triassic animals *would* be totally normal. Also, your glasses are crooked and it's driving me nuts.

Would love to see a video about extinct ancient insect groups that have no living relatives today

David peters waggling his eyebrows when you say it might be close to pterosaurs and then shaking his head disappointedly as you say they're not.
Raptor chatter never disappointed us !🎉
Thanks!
Triassic Period aka God's Minecraft Server
It's His Beta Test program, just like modern-day Australia.
Palm frond lizard.

Very informative and well made video brother.
Evolution does whatever it can get away with.
Evolution isn't about 'why', it's about 'why the hell not'!
I love learning anout these times evolution experimented on the weird side of life
The Triassic is such an underrated period!
I'm a sucker for Hallucigenia + Eocene horses, but I have room in my heart for other eras of Life On Earth too.

Is it me, or there were a lot of gliders attempts in the Trias? ^^'
there were also a lot of flight attempts in the cretaceous too

Scansoriopteryx had a fully perforated acetabulum
Is that the one who awake Carnotaurus at Dinosaur 2000 Disney movie?
Yep.
nice video
Quetzalcoatlus would be a nice subject, if you haven't already done that one.
lets fucking go bebe! another dope outfit bro. i always love your threads and your style.
Dam that shirt fits incredibly normally
Please do a video on the Madygen formation’s ecology
Clearly a golf club carry bag
Make research papers, not war!
Now now. I'm sure there are planets out there where Triassic animals *would* be totally normal.

Could they build a gene editor powered by ai that could reverse evolution and bring back dinosaurs?
AI can analyse entire genomes, but it can't complete ones that have sequences missing.
FIRST
Ten minutes to say "I don't know". Really.
