Hello everybody, I hope you all are doing well. My Patreon page is finally up and if you would like to help support me and the channel, you can choose to do so and get some neat rewards in return! www.patreon.com/Natures_Compendium For this video I had a friend do the narration for me so I could spend more time animating. Rest assured I will continue to narrate the majority of the videos but in the near future I hope to have additional guests narrate videos for me as well. The subject of the video was voted on by a TH-cam community poll and I hope you all enjoy it!
The beauty of prehistoric life is that no matter how much research we do, we don’t have clear ideas of the exact appearances and behaviors of these creatures. We can use our creativity and imaginations to help fill in the blanks!
Dude, EVERYTHING was insane. Storms lasting millions of years, centipedes measuring in the feet... And with earth's apparent age, it may even have been possible that this process has happened twice, as far as I'm thinking. We are not the first, and we will not be the last.
You're doing good! Good title, btw: CRONCH is a very good succinct word to describe the big Dunkie. Also, the new narrator is very good; yours was quite good as well, but this fella seems more suited for it.
Ah, Dunkles. One of my favorite beasties. I grew up in Colorado, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science was one of my favorite places. At the end of the Prehistoric Life exhibit, they had (probably still have) a Dunkleosteus skull (weirdly placed, considering the sort of "timeline" organization of the exhibit, putting Dunkles after the Ice Age, but whatever). That skull always left such a strong impression on me, I never forgot it.
The new voice narrator, I don't know who your name is but you have a 11/10 voice!! Very smooth and it has calming effect on the video, it kinda made me almost fall sleep
Dope. I've always been fascinated by the armored fish... armored sea life in general, really. I was happy to hear as a kid that Coelacanths still live, just as a link between millions of years. This stuff is so damned cool!
Dunkleosteus is my favorite swimming fossil, ever since I saw the armored plates of it's head in Royal Tyrell museum here in Alberta, Canada, I have always wanted to learn more about it and how it lived it's life. I'm a fisherman and I have to say that it would take one hell of a leader to secure a catch like that! The thing must have weighed in at around 500+ pounds for an average specimen if my estimates are correct but who knows how big these things actually got? It certainly would have had a powerful presence in the Devonian Oceans If it wasn't the Largest of creatures to swim in the Devonian Oceans. It is simply a scary fish that out-intimidates the Shark! Although it's smaller than the Largest of the Sharks, like Megalodon, it has Armored plates that would make it a very serious foe to deal with regardless of size. I wish I could see what it truly looked like and how big they actually got! the Fossil record shows so many amazing creatures and I would love to have seen them all, and to be able to draw them like the early scientists did in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries did! The Natural world is so awe-inspiring and so full of mystery!
9/10 would watch again! But I’ll add 2 points for the new narrator with the, smooth voice. So it’s now 11/10 keep up the good work. 👍 PS 1 point missing because the the missing baby hippo 🦛 😂
I still see no evidence for dunk being small, I hope this “tiny dunk” trend fades away like feathered Rex, it’s ridiculous, dunk needed it’s size to be an apex predator in climates with creatures like Endoceras.
@@thesalmonguy3342 Endoceras was an Ordovician animal you absolute donkey. Prior to the new findings, the Arthrodire Placoderms were the biggest creatures of the Devonian, and they dwarfed everything else. Now, they are still the biggest, but they don't comically dwarf the rest of the seas. A smaller Dunkleosteus makes much more sense for the fauna that lived at the time.
On a scale from 1 to 10, it's ridiculous how happy I am as a spearfisher, that we no longer have armored bear traps just the right size to consider a human being as food, swimming around in our seas... Utterly, mind-numbingly, ridiculously happy...
There's a hypothesis that the discovered Placoderms would have had lips like sharks. And those outer layer hardly ever fossilized as all there is are the skulls.
For a while it was believed that trees originated in the Carboniferous, but it seems like there is a decent bit of evidence now that primitive trees arose in the late Devonian.
Great video! by the way can be recreate dunkleosteus by altering the DNA of modern shark and other fish and mix them together,creating an orca -size carnivorous armoured dunkleosteus -like fish is there a chance that this will work or am i wrong with my opinion? it's just an example and i like cloning
What you're describing is the creation of a transgenic animal, and not necessarily a clone. I don't think it's possible to recreate a dunkleosteus or create a dunkleosteus-like animal by mixing together DNA of different modern species, but I'm not super knowledgable on transgenic organisms.
I always forget how horrifying the skull of Dunkleosteus looks, its so hard to believe that thing actually existed. Imagine that skull on a 30ft therapod 💀

Anyone here play hungryshark?
OMG, I LOVE Hungry Shark!
(My personal favorite is HS World)
@@seanpeabody7777 not to flex or anything but I have like every shark in the game
Fingers crossed that Dunk gets into Prehistoric Kingdom at some point after launch! Easily one of the most awesome prehistoric sea predators ever!
Yes!
Dunkleosteus wad the scariest animal ever to exist
What is prehistoric kingdom??
@@SonoKurisu I think it's a game
@@SonoKurisu it is a prehistoric zoo sim!
Dinosaurs were my fixation as a kid until I discovered just how insane ancient oceans were. T. rex just doesn't come close.
Dude, EVERYTHING was insane. Storms lasting millions of years, centipedes measuring in the feet...

We are not the first, and we will not be the last.
@@Virjunior01 Ya, all the cool stuff is gone..
@@Virjunior01 went from little arms to no arms baby
As a kid I loved T. rex too and then I found out about all the things in the ocean, mosasaurus and dunkleosteus along with many other's are so cool
T rex does come close

Personally I feel like he is trying to put me to sleep, but he's good!
He does have a nice voice, though I wish he’d talk a lot faster than dripping molasses
He's a perfect bedtime storyteller.

Hungry sharks players: "I have been waiting my whole life for this"
Yessss!
Hungry hippo for the sun

Hell yeah
I've known about this fish even before hungry shark release it. Very excited after hungry shark release this fish in the game
Damn, I want my Relicanth to evolve into that
Aww shit, I think this is what Dracovish was supposed to look like
Lmaoooo
Relicrunch.
Sorry he relly canth👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😳😳
I really like how you went with a more crescent shaped tail rather than the typical paddle in most paleoart I see, bonus points for that.
Based on a study from a few years back.
So they were capable of more rapid swimming?
@@serpentinewolf7085 Yes.
Cresent tail doesn't look good on dunkleosteus in my opinion
@@K1ng_Squ1dZ you're entitled to your objectively wrong opinion.
As always love the artstyle and animation. One of my favorite prehistoric aquatics too
Bruce the Shark: I'm pretty damn scary.

It reminds me of Adam from deep dark boys
I watch this shit because I like it and helps go to sleep when laying down.
I had won of these dogs when I moved to Ohio, he died 10 years ago. This video made me feel better. Thank you 😢
It's hard to find such up to date information! I was super impressed by this video - super job!
7:49
Those who don't know better would think that were were Archaeopteryx forests during the end of the Devonian lol
Lol I doubled the "were"

I was happy to hear as a kid that Coelacanths still live, just as a link between millions of years. This stuff is so damned cool!
It’s still alive?
Thank you so much for coming back Man and also that's an epic video !!!!
This was so cool! This video came up in my recommendations and I'm really glad it did. Fantastic animation and narration, I'm excited to watch more!
Glad you liked it! Hope you enjoy what's to come 😃

The amount of effort from multiple people coming together for this is really astounding! You can feel the passion :)
Always worth the waiting! :)
Holy moly, this video quality is top notch!!! Good job!
A museum near my hometown has a partial skull on display. It's big.
NO, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT MY DUNK WAS SHRUNK
Say it ain't so 😭😭
Could you perhaps maybe do one of marine invertebrates. Euryiptorids, Radiodonts, and this one would be arduous but also cephalopods.
honestly, I don't care if dunkleosteus became smaller, it was still the biggest of its time, right?
I love everything about this video,the animation,narration,and the design of every creatures is very good.
Also hope you're day is going great.
9/10 would watch again! But I’ll add 2 points for the new narrator with the, smooth voice. So it’s now 11/10 keep up the good work. 👍
PS
1 point missing because the the missing baby hippo 🦛 😂
Imagine seeing this alien swimming in the ocean today
Bet this fish can tear open submarines
@@candymaster1661 or at least commit some major damage
@@macwelch8599 or a sushi in a Japanese restaurant
@@mardakfernfern1986 that would be extremely expensive lol
Yes! My favorite fish! I've always found placoderms more interesting and cooler than megalodon (no hate 👍)
Amazing video!
Amazing video on these really interesting fishes! 🐟
wait an umbilical cord ? is that know for any other fish? I thought that was a placental mammal thing
I know that its still present in some sharks, were their umbilical chord is actually derived from the yolk sac
Why am I just now finding this channel? Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
@@NaturesCompendium Thanks! Awesome work on this and the other videos. They are amazing!
He got nerfed to 4 m 💀
Underrated channel love the animation and narration
Even though it got shrunk it still would be horrific to see while swimming.
Dunkleosteus recently got downsized to a max length of 5 meters.
Sad story
Even if it is smaller, it is still an impressive beast
I love this voice. It's seems pretty calm for me.
I like the new narrator, he is able to deliver the lines well. This shows how much you are improving. Good job.
I want to say that your updates are best!
5:40 Bungartius! Underrated fish!
Great video!!! So well made!
Thank you my precious Valorant carry 😍
Awesome animation!
Aa Always Just beautiful Animation and awsome Video!
This is my favorite dinosaur/fish that ever lived, what's cooler than a Dunkleosteus? Nothing, you can't beat it.
Dunk in rl:We monster
Dunk in ark:Want some oil? UwU
I waited so much for this, it was worth it thanks
I am trying and failing to imagine this thing opening and closing its jaws less then 1/10th of a second like it WHAT
Dude your voice is so soothing it’s crazy
underrated channel
I have a small model of this fish in my room. Nothing compares to the Devonian Period!
Another fantastic video
OH NO! IT GOT SHRUNK
He's still a cool lad! Once I have time I'll do an update video for him
I still see no evidence for dunk being small, I hope this “tiny dunk” trend fades away like feathered Rex, it’s ridiculous, dunk needed it’s size to be an apex predator in climates with creatures like Endoceras.
@@thesalmonguy3342 but the method of getting the size does makes sense tho
@@thesalmonguy3342
Endoceras was an Ordovician animal you absolute donkey.
Prior to the new findings, the Arthrodire Placoderms were the biggest creatures of the Devonian, and they dwarfed everything else.
Now, they are still the biggest, but they don't comically dwarf the rest of the seas.
A smaller Dunkleosteus makes much more sense for the fauna that lived at the time.
Stumbled across this video. Your voice is exceptionally soothing.
Awesome! I've been waiting or this one!
This channel is criminally underrated.
where can I get the full pic at 02:15 of the dude with an Alvarezsaur
I drew it for the urban prehistory trend! You can find the full picture on my deviantart and artstation www.artstation.com/artwork/28w2DA

DUNKLEOSTEUS IN OHIO CONFIRMED NO CLICK BAIT!?
Can't click bait the fact that Ohio is cursed
Yup I am from northeast Ohio and I can confirm you that we have some of these dunk fossils in museum
Interesting information, lovely voice, funny title. Absolutely amazing
Loving the animation in this video
They...... they nerfed the dunkleosteus😞....
This was so cool. This vedio can amaze other to watch until ends.
My man got nerfed in 2023
Fs in the chat
F for our boy Dunkly😞

You deserve one million subs 😩
size comparison of crocodile next =)
Great job, you made the best video
I fell asleep listening to your voice , it’s so calm and soothing
Love this. Boosting for algorithm
darn they changed the the size
He called this creature "terrible fish".... I dont know why that tickled me, but it really did 🤣
2:15 «...the ancestors of all tetrapods, from sharks to...»
Ah yes. Tetrapod sharks. Someone has to tell the click XD
This thing is scary, it's bite force and jaw speed are wild too!
Love these videos
Awesome channel and animation.
Absolutely love the video! One correction: There's only one "E" at the beginning of "Lake Erie"! It's Erie, not Eerie :)
my favorite marine creature of all time since i was a kid and saw one in a museum, simply because its badass and has my name in the middle of it
That was very interesting, in view of we learned something similar in Evolution class last week.
Ty very much for this vid
On a scale from 1 to 10, it's ridiculous how happy I am as a spearfisher, that we no longer have armored bear traps just the right size to consider a human being as food, swimming around in our seas... Utterly, mind-numbingly, ridiculously happy...
Terrible fish would be a cool name for a massive prehistoric fish and in scientific it would be deinoichthys.
Dunky was great at parties, and wrote love poetry in it's spare time.
But, can you do a video on prehistoric arachnids, insects, and arthropods
Oh you wanna learn abot the artropleura the 2.3 meters long centipide
@@Leonyx55 yeah, and many more
So dunkleosteus was originally called deinoichthys? Nice.
For my favourite animal in this video is a toss up between tiklaalik or the ammonites.
There's a hypothesis that the discovered Placoderms would have had lips like sharks. And those outer layer hardly ever fossilized as all there is are the skulls.
Dunkleosteus is like a megalodon of devonian period?
Imagine nerfing the Dunky, they should be ashamed.
Such a cool fish I always wanted one in Pokemon since I was like 10
Now I'm bittersweet about it...
If you want can you make the next episode about liperoudon plsssss to know more about this species and now true facts and it’s real size
Liopleurodon is planned for next year. The animal for October's video is another Paleozoic species
@@NaturesCompendium understanded I will wait with joy
To my knowledge there wasn't any trees during this period am i wrong?
For a while it was believed that trees originated in the Carboniferous, but it seems like there is a decent bit of evidence now that primitive trees arose in the late Devonian.
