Tristan Halbert it is also referred to as the Tasmanian wolf, due to it's canine like appearance. Some call it the Tasmanian tiger because of the stripes, it depends on who you talk to.
I'd heard of the coelacanth before but not the Bush Dog or False Killer Whale. I do hope these species are able to stick around for a long time to come because it would be heartbreaking for them to go extinct now.
Me too, it's always upsetting when any species goes extinct, but there seems to be some level of irony with a Lazarus Taxon dying out that would make it worse.

@FRED THE THOT SLAYER its not racist its reality. Japan has poor enforcement of protecting marine life. They still do whaling and eat dolphins. Why do you think the salmon was presumed to be extinct?
@@twaynewade2544 Yeah it's actually endangered from overfishing and unless they do a diligence as a people to protect their wildlife it will go extinct like 1000s of other species have in the region in the last couple hundred years.
I would love the Stellar Sea cow or Dodo be back alive, those poor guys went extinct from humanities habit of killing friendly creatures, the Dodo was very friendly from what I have read and Sea Cows are literally unable to harm you in any way or form, also it was the size of an Orca. Also I know peeps want to see the Tasmanian tiger again and I do too but it seems like they are gone for good.
The most beautiful part of us humans destroying every aspect of our environment, is that once we wipe each other out, there will be a huge opening for new species to thrive.
Coelacanth: Then the unthinkable happened. Some guy just takes me onto his boat and he’s probing and prodding and I’m just wanting to get back in the water.
Ceolacanth are still alive that’s whether you believe it or not there’s only between 400-900 of them recorded being alive and depending if they have breeding an the numbers double or if they haven’t been breeding and slowly dying out, you’ll find them in west coast of Africa or in the Indian Ocean you have to travel down an deep to find one
7:21 The bottom--and possibly also the specimen above--is a bottlenose dolphin hanging out with a pod of false killer whales!! Is it known that at least some species of dolphins and/or whales sometimes swim with other species as an inter-species pod?
I know that that False Killer Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins regularly meet up and hunt together, it was even recorded for Blue Planet 2, which was incredible to see. Here's a good article about this behaviour: www.scientificamerican.com/article/false-killer-whales-and-bottlenose-dolphins-swim-together-for-years/
Well, seeing as early humans and the progenitors of domestic dogs ended up hunting together, it makes sense that one might see interspecies cooperation in other communal animals.
I saw something once about a "handicapped" dolphin (his spine was completely deformed) that got adopted by a bunch of sperm whale. (found it th-cam.com/video/7iFzIMZRsoI/w-d-xo.html)
Ben G Thomas yeah because there had been some reported sightings at a national park in Queensland Australia with one being made by a park ranger who said something along the lines of " I know what dingos are and what I saw wasnt one of them " so a scientist led an expedition
another good example, crested geckos! Nowadays, theyre incredibly popular in the pet trade and are bred extremely readily, so much so that color and pattern variants are often produced. But there was at one point the gecko was thought to be extinct, until it was rediscovered
If we can find Coelacanth after years of thinking it was extinct for millions of years , think of what else is hiding down there - identified previously with fossils or not .
7:21 Somehow, a dolphin managed to sneak its way into that pod of false killer whales. Just look at the bottom of that picture, you’ll see that crazy dolphin right there.
That clip at the end was sad :( I remember going to the aquarium to see that false killer whale in particular before it died. When I was a kid he was my favourite.
I saw Chester when I visited the Vancouver aquarium!! I watched him swim around for awhile through an underwater viewing portal and is eyes were eerily expressive, like a dog's or human's. It was a bit "uncanny valley" but an amazing and memorable experience. I'm sad to hear he passed away and to hear that false killer whales are so endangered. Side note, their name is terrible! I would hate to have the name for my actual species be "false chimp" instead of "human." ...Actually, that sounds pretty funny. But still, taxonomists, please give the false killer whale a more dignified and unique name! they deserve it.
Pokemon are based on many real life creatures. It's odd, really. Pokemon are basically real, switch some genes around and add some extra genes and there you have it. Then again, making pokemon actually real and not just appear real would fuck with the food chain quite a bit because a foot tall mouse that can electrocute things would be pretty dangerous.
@@lsswappedcessna so your telling me we could get a lizard fly and breath fire and a mousr pproducing endless amount of electricity just by doing some gene editing?
Horseshoe crabs are chelicerates, just like trilobites, and would have coexisted with them. Not to mention that their body shape is a little similar. I think you’d like them as a substitute.
Aaron Lepcha they probably have different colors or thinner armor scales. Assuming water in the past was harsher and had a different color requiring them to have thicker armor and different colors
@@aaronlepcha4768 the reason they haven't changed is because they didn't need to. They live deep in the ocean without much predators and other threats. Evolution usually only occurs when animals need to evolve to either fill in a niche for the environment to be more effective or need to change to fit the changed environment and survive. Also like it's said in the video, the Ceolacanth has changed a bit, albeit very slightly. TLDR: the Ceolacanth didn't change too much because it had no real threats and didn't need to change as it was already effective in its environment.

Random scientist finds species thought to be long lost -- "It's alive!!!" Then discovers that the find location is now a parking lot --- "Well, it was...... "
Are you in general against keeping animals in captivity or just when it comes to cetaceans? Don't take this the wrong way, I'm just curious, since I'm interested how some people give greater value to some animal groups than others and how those ideas come to be. For example how in many "western" countries deem animals like apes, cetaceans and dogs almost untouchable, whilst pigs, corvids and parrots with similar intelligence or social behavior are ok to be killed for food, seen as pests or being kept as pets in rather bad conditions. From a scientific point I'll have to say that according from what has been gathered in data, there's nothing wrong with modern aquaria keeping cetaceans in captivity, especially if they focus on studying the species to further knowledge about how they can be protected in the wild, whilst providing adequate home for animals that can't be released due to handicap or young age and would otherwise have to be euthanized. Studies on stress levels and overall health have shown that captive cetaceans live less stressful and more "happy" lives than their wild counterparts, same as most animals in modern zoos. So according to science it's fine, though there's always room to do better for the animals, but I can understand people that don't like animals in captivity in general and therefor aren't particularly thrilled to see cetaceans in captivity. I have to say though that there are aquaria and zoos that haven't updated in decades and keep their animals in bad conditions. I'm all for drastically updating those facilities or rehousing the animals to more adequate aquaria/zoos in those cases.
Agree entirely, keeping cetaceans like orca in captivity cave researches access to blood samples, behavioral research (especially social interactions and calf rearing), growth rates and the list goes on. My point being that many of the data obtained over the years is vital for use in the field in conservation strategies/plans. The issues facing captive breeding in facilities like Seaworld has lead to a lack of genetic material in captivity and, as such many wild orcas are now being caught in Russian waters. China has a large amount of Russian caught orcas now in captivity. This is the issue with many animal rights groups, pure anthropomorphism causing more harm to the orcas than good. If the issues raised where regarding welfare, then sure.
@@ReptilesandResearch I mostly agree, however I would say the issues being raised are primarily regarding animal welfare. Orcas for example pretty much live with a tight knit family group their whole lives, taking such animals from the wild away from their families is extremely traumatic for them. It's also pretty much impossible to replicate the amount of space they'd normally swim in within an aquarium. Stress injuries within captivity for large transient cetaceans seem pretty common. It's a difficult decision to choose the good of the whole species over the individual. Ultimately I agree with whatever allows us to keep the species alive in the wild, though I do wish aquariums would do all they can to focus on improving the situations of those in captivity.
Actually I believe that scientific dating is *all* wrong... Red blood cells and still an intact tissue of Trex has been found by scientists... Obviously RBCs and tissues cannot survive the hundreds of millions of years...
That is not true, my man. They werent surviving red blood cells. That’s your good old creationist propaganda misconstruing scientific literature again. Even the researcher who discovered this find deplores how creationists have used her find to hark their narrative. Science isnt perfect. Its an iterative process. But its the most successful process we have in order to understand the world we live in.
They were remnants of proteins of red blood cells. Perfectly concordant with an old earth. The scientific dating methodology is actually quite accurate as of today. With the use of several disparate methods use simultaneously based on different isotopes in order to get a precise reading call Radiometric Dating. So no, scientific dating is not “all wrong”.
Good video. I had never even heard of the bush dog or false killer whale before watching this video. I hope we can keep these animals safe from extinction. Thanks for the information.
The fact that the False Killer Whale is friendly towards humans and wants to share its food is just so awesome! Makes me hope we can actively save species from dying out!
Wow - rare video where I hear "when NON AVIAN DINOSAURS....extinct, died of, were annihilated...etc." - respect. Many other channels whose owners are full of knowledge and data on first sight appear ignorant at the end. Ignorant about well known facts. Thumbs up for you. You got yourself subscriber.
Used to see bush dogs all the time when I worked in the jungles of Guyana 🇬🇾. The locals call them ‘crab daahgs (dogs)’ as they love snacking on land crabs.
4:05 that guy has more than one catches with this thing but it only comes when raining well there getaway was a good spot to find the said to be extinct
There was a brief period when people were hoping that thylacine was a Lazarus Taxa. After the last known thylacine died in captivity, they were thought to be extinct, but sighting's did still rarely occur. Most of these were dismissed as people hoping on the bandwagon but at least one was well documented. The scientific community however was very quick to try and educate people on these sightings. Thylacines were Functionally Extinct: meaning that a few specimens may still exist, but in such small numbers that they couldn't establish a breeding pool, and therefor wouldn't be able to persist as a species for more than maybe a couple generations at best. I think most people who know about thylacines miss them.
I was deeply surprised that my mother-in-law not was on the list ... it is at least difficult to tell the difference between her and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Believe me!!!
The weird thing about the bush dog is it’s closest genetic relative is the maned wolf, which looks nothing like the bush dog, resembling a fox on stilts.
It must have had a lot of other closer relatives in the past, which may have actually gone extinct unlike this one. Nobody would believe that a chihuahua and Doberman would be the same species if all the other dog breeds went extinct, transitional forms are important.
Coelacanth was actually found in the Cenozoic fossil record. We've found Oligocene and Pliocene coelacanth fossils. Though millions of years apart, they didn't die out at the end of the Mesozoic.

8:10 *CHESTER* died in 2017
Me: *CRAWWWWLING IN MY SKIN* again 😭
I love that you used the official term and didn't call them "living fossils" and you pointed out why it's a misleading and unscientific term
Can we rename the false killer whale to the good boi killer whale 😤
Don't forget about the Zanzibar leapord that also was classified as extinct but recently was caught on camera.
@6:02 Evidence of Cookie Cutter Shark bite :-]
Thx for posting!
It's so damn sad that the False Killer Whale is such a good boy to us, offering fish and all, and we're just slowly killing them.
Lucas; There is no evidence of that.
Good video. I had never even heard of the bush dog or false killer whale before watching this video. I hope we can keep these animals safe from extinction. Thanks for the information.
Is Mokele Mobembe a Lazarus Taxa?
If it turned out to exist, and to be a sauropod dinosaur, then I suppose that would make sauropods a Lazarus Taxon.
No, it's a cryptid, and most likely a hoax.
It’s a myth/hoax
Only if there were hard proof that it was alive instead of just another hoax.
Pssst...it's a hoax.
The fact that the False Killer Whale is friendly towards humans and wants to share its food is just so awesome! Makes me hope we can actively save species from dying out!
i love how ignorant most of these commenters are
These animals really said: Our deaths were greatly, exaggerated
Coelocanths look delicious
Apparently they taste really bad. So probably not a good idea to eat one haha
Ben G Thomas lol I made it my dream to eat one but now you destroyed it
Isn't their flesh poisonous?
Erin Langheim I dont think so but ill look it up (Ben G Thomas probably already said it)
No they are not poisonous
Great video. I've gotta show this to family.
Awesome love your work
Wow - rare video where I hear "when NON AVIAN DINOSAURS....extinct, died of, were annihilated...etc." - respect. Many other channels whose owners are full of knowledge and data on first sight appear ignorant at the end. Ignorant about well known facts. Thumbs up for you. You got yourself subscriber.
Never knew about the false killer whale. Your channel is very educational. Thanks
WOW!!! It is so cool to hove animals back from the dead,
Thank you teacher me.
False Killer Whales are like big, friendly relatives that gives you gifts even though they can’t afford much.
Used to see bush dogs all the time when I worked in the jungles of Guyana 🇬🇾. The locals call them ‘crab daahgs (dogs)’ as they love snacking on land crabs.
How far off were the estimates for ceolocanth from fossils to the discovered extant species
4:05 that guy has more than one catches with this thing but it only comes when raining well there getaway was a good spot to find the said to be extinct
Bush dogs look like a cross between a corgy and a bear cub.Lol so cute.
I love how it’s smiling in the thumbnail
There was a brief period when people were hoping that thylacine was a Lazarus Taxa. After the last known thylacine died in captivity, they were thought to be extinct, but sighting's did still rarely occur. Most of these were dismissed as people hoping on the bandwagon but at least one was well documented. The scientific community however was very quick to try and educate people on these sightings. Thylacines were Functionally Extinct: meaning that a few specimens may still exist, but in such small numbers that they couldn't establish a breeding pool, and therefor wouldn't be able to persist as a species for more than maybe a couple generations at best. I think most people who know about thylacines miss them.
I was deeply surprised that my mother-in-law not was on the list ... it is at least difficult to tell the difference between her and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Believe me!!!
1:25 just imagine those adorable little fuckers hunting other adorable little animals omg the most adorable hunting party ever!!!? 😩
The weird thing about the bush dog is it’s closest genetic relative is the maned wolf, which looks nothing like the bush dog, resembling a fox on stilts.
It must have had a lot of other closer relatives in the past, which may have actually gone extinct unlike this one. Nobody would believe that a chihuahua and Doberman would be the same species if all the other dog breeds went extinct, transitional forms are important.
Seeing extinct animals is amazing to me, seeing how they've come
Relicanth was a pokemon based on coelacanths. They do look very alike!
Choice band rock head head smash OP
Coelacanth was actually found in the Cenozoic fossil record. We've found Oligocene and Pliocene coelacanth fossils. Though millions of years apart, they didn't die out at the end of the Mesozoic.
Bush dogs look really cute!!!! They sound deadly too, but... They look like two of my favorite animals squished into one.
That bushdog is the cutest thing i've seen in quite a while
Thumbnail fish smirking: “Back from the dead assholes.”
*Shows Coelacanth in thumbnail, and says its name correctly*
Me: now this does put a smile on my face.
I hadn't thought of it before, but the big break in the coelacanth fossil record does give fans of a living megalodon some hope!
