Well dinosaurs had been around for so long, that they have pretty much filled every niche possible before and most likely every animal today has convergently evolved on a body plan a dinosaur once used.
Honestly, I'm not surprised if there's more undiscovered fish eater and semi aquatic dinosaurs out thete. I mean nowadays, birds alone have many not closely related lineages that evolved as fish eater, like egrets, ibis, storks, kingfishers, to name a few.
Convergent evolution happens quite often. Wings evolved independently multiple times. As I believe did eyes. On other habitable planets in the universe it is very likely there are organisms that look a lot like ones that have existed on earth, like birds, bats, and bees, because the laws of physics will drive evolution towards the biological structures, like wings, that work the best.
Was bored with my TH-cam home page until I saw "aquatic duck dinosaur" in a title. You win at making TH-cam interesting today. A goose with dinosaur legs -- and it's not even fictional!
Halszkaraptor is apparently named after my grandmother, Halszka Osmólska, who was a Polish scientist studing dinosaurs. I didn't know there is a prehistoric animal named after her name, but I guess I found out about something cool today =)
According to wikipedia, there wasn't just one animal named after her, Wiki lists like 5 different animals... that's quite an accomplishment ! Not to mention all of the other recognitions she received, that's a cool grandma.
Halszkaraptor: Saved from the Fossil Black Market Awesome video! Loved learning about their teeny tails causing them hold their necks in the 'S' shape.
Another amazing video that shines a light on a corner of paleontology that I would never have known about otherwise. Your content is always a highlight in my subscription feed.
A little off topic, but while I was watching this video (btw I'm sitting outside) a road runner bird jumps into my yard and catches a grasshopper and gets away. It reminded me so much of a raptor. Dromaeosaurids are my favorite dinosaurs and I find them so interesting.
*You should do a video on Xiphactinus, it was a predatory fish that lived during the Cretaceous Period, it looked very menacing and I wouldn’t want to be in the sea with it* 😅
Pssshhttt. Next you'll want him to do a video on Dunkleosteus or some crap. We done know about these freaking fish, man! Let's move on! You're hanging on to the past, man! Snap out of it!
This is officially one of my top five favorite dinosaurs now. I'm not even entirely sure why. It's kind of adorable though thinking that there was basically a duck dinosaur long before the dinosaur, duck.
I love your channel, but I have a suggestion. I often listen while driving (bluetooth), and have road noise plus a slight hearing impairment. This means I have to crank the volume, resulting in excess volume when most ads are played. Some having even worse hearing impairments. Could you crank up the volume on your videos? We can only turn it up so far, but we can always turn it down.
Her name was Ducky and, after joining a ragtag crew of orphans named Petrie, Cera, Littlefoot, and Spike, she goes on a quest to find the Great Valley. All Paleontologists, I'm sure, are aware of this part of our natural history.
Been waiting for this one! Halszaraptor is among the most underrated dinosaurs out there. Those things were straight ballin' man. When they came around, things were different. They straight up changed the game when it came to the life aquatic. Wasn't nothing the same when they came around. I'd like to think they never truly died, but rather became ducks instead. A gangsta came dream, tho; a gansta came dream :)
I’ve been binging the videos on this channel, and this is genuinely one of the best channels for evolutionary biology. Also could you please make a video on the evolution of toothless beaks in birds as well as in non Avian theropods?
This dinosaur closely resembles waterfowl. It has a goose's and swan's neck. Mergansers dive to feed on fish, with small aquatic rodents and reptiles occasionally being consumed. Mergansers also have saw-like bills to help grip prey. Most swans and geese are very aggressive and will attack humans and other birds and animals. Other waterbirds this specie somewhat resembles include cormorants and penguins.
My only quibble with this video is that at 3:50 when the narrator says Halskaraptor's forelimbs were like "the wings of swimming and diving birds like penguins", the video shows a puffin. Surely there was stock footage of a penguin available. I still love Halskaraptor as The "Duck" of Death. (Apologies to Gene Hackman's insult of Richard Harris in "Unforgiven".) But those long legs and neck strike me more as a wading adaptation like a heron, rather than an actively swimming pescatarian.
I wonder if Flightless or semiaquatic pterosaurs were evolutionary possible after all, there are flightless birds today and birds are literally dinosaurs that convergently evolved with pterosaurs.
6:25 We only know Hulsanpes from 2 bones?? How can scientists then theorize about this animal and even draw it??? On that note, a video about paleoart would be cool. There's a missconception caused by a post showing how a goose would look if they gave it the same treatment as a fossil, but it skips several important steps.
when they only know the animal from a few bones, they base the rest on close relatives. And yeah, a video about paleoart and fossil reconstruction woul be cool :p
@@NeP516 They didn't say 2 bones specifically, but "partial remains". You can easily identify a species by just a few bones, in this case, it looks like it had part of its ankle as well. If you know anything about the ankle, is that there are lots of tiny specific bones for that.
@@fluffy3640 I searched it, and the species is known by "...a partial braincase fragment and the right metatarsus composed by the second, third and fourth metatarsals and three pedal phalanges from an apparently immature individual..." I didn't know that the ankle is so useful for differentiating animals, that's amazing! Thanks
The super-long-necked sauropods, such as Mamenchisaurus, could have walked with their necks in an “S” pattern as well to maintain a proper gait balance, if skeletally supported.
how TH do they even ID Halszkaraptorines much less new species of them like Halsanpes and Mahakala with such limited remains!!?? (like a tiny piece of skull and leg bone for Halsanpes) Can you do, (maybe I missed), vids on detailed procedure?

There's a few other semi-aquatic duck-like dinosaurs. One of which is a duck.
haha :D
But a duck is always duck-like 👌 💯
A duck billed duck
I love theropsids
Looking at modern day geese today, not much has changed since the Halszkaraptor days.
Greece are meaner .
That’s not right should have been GEESE .
Goose raptor 😍
Nature and it's ideal niche filling attributes are so amazing 🥰
Well, much did change, geese evolved these features independently
So peace was never an option since the beginning of time.
The fact that two different groups of dromaeosaurs (Halszkaraptorinae and Unenlagiinae) evolved to become fish eaters fascinates me
Dinosaurs really did rule the Earth
After all ...back then full spaces in ecosystem
Were occupied by Dino's 😘

Anyone who has ever fought a duck will tell you that ducks are the real dinos.
I mean you can see that they want to tear you to shreds, but they just don't have the power lmao
All birds are actually dinosaurs
I'd be too busy thinking about the delicious meal I'm about to eat to think of dinos.
geese and swans haven’t forgotten about their raptor ancestors
You have the best natural history channel on youtube. I love how you keep it to the facts and avoid theatrics.
Agreed
If it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, it's a dinosaur.

Thanks once again, I am always delited to see another of your videos pop up on my feed. I'm never disappointed.
That raptor named Mahakala made me chuckle a bit. In Finnish, maha means belly and kala means fish.

It's weird to think Halszkaraptor was technically replaced niche-wise by another dinosaur (waterfowl).
And IIRC true waterfowl already exist in the late Cretaceous
Kinda like placental mammals replacing marsupials and monotremes

Whenever I watch the ducks at the lake waddle up onto the shore...
Proud descendants of the mighty dinosaurs. I shall feed you my stale cheese puffs.
I'm totally shocked because I thought that raptors were living in the forests like microraptor or deserts like velociraptor
Raptor occupied many different niches don't they?
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 yeah but the aquatic raptor is one of the strangest raptors
Really cool fossils, glad to know the world has always had to deal with ducks

That's dope as hell
