New Tiny Armored Dino Fills In Gaps In Ankylosaur Evolution? - Jakapil

  • The armored dinosaurs are some of the most interesting. Whatever you think about the badassery of the predatory dinosaurs, the vast array of crests of the hadrosaurs, the bizarre guts, chests, necks, and tails of the sauropods, or the copy-my-homework-but-don’t-forget-to-change-it-a-little ceratopsians, the armored dinosaurs adapted to their armored lifestyle in a way that places them far outside the realm of what we might consider ‘normal’ for dinosaurs. Despite how much is known about the biggest and most advanced of the armored dinosaurs - like namesake stegosaurus and ankylosaurus - virtually nothing is known of their ancestors and cousins. A slew of new fossil finds from the global south are blowing open a lost world of armored dinosaur diversity literally no one could have suspected, and a brand-new alien puzzle piece was just described that proves there is a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to armored dinosaurs. Meet Jakapil.

    The discovery of jakapil was very exciting to me. Because if it is a basal thyreophoran then were talking about a ghost lineage of 100 million years because as far as i know no basal thyreophoran more primitive than stegosauria and ankylosauria survived past the early jurassic and jakapil lived in the cenomanian stage. But the interesting thing is that some paleontologist has expressed the opinion that jakapil maybe is a basal marginocephalian which is the group containing ceratopsians and pachychephalosaurs.

    To me it definitely seems less likely to be a basal magenicfalian and more likely part of a gondwanan liniage of theyrioforan. Really interesting little critter. The bottom jaw looks suitable for digging with and it looks like it could chop into some tough vegitation. If it was inhabiting the more arid areas i would imagine this would be helpful as it could crack hard seed pods, or excavate roots, rhyzomes and tubers. In any case its a rare glipse at life away from the mesozoic waterways and oases.

Like Pre for Predentary is in front of the dentary. Or ant in antorbital fenestra is a good one to talk about what the words mean and how they are used. Orbital = eye ant as in anterior = in front fenestra = skull hole :) and then we get the pre antorbital fenestra. :D

    The fact that ceratopsians and thyreophorans are very distantly related, but paleo-nerds can convincingly place this little guy in either group, is nuts.
    Now that I'm older and I regularly watch educational/edutainment paleobiology vids recreationally, I know that, and understand how, ceratopsians are more related to Pachycephalosaurus whereas stegosaurs are grouped with ankylosaurs in thyreophorans; however, this reminds me of how confusing dinosaur taxonomy used to be - especially for myself as a child.
    When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. At 5 years old, I stunned my friend's grandma by answering what I want to grow up to be with "I want to be a paleontologist."
    My favorite movies/shows were dinosaur documentaries like 'Walking With Dinosaurs' and 'When Dinosaurs Roamed America,' as well as Nigel Marven's prehistory shows.
    I even actually argued with someone in preschool that the T-rex was bigger and stronger than Godzilla (…then went on to become a Godzilla fan for the rest of my life in kindergarten, with Ultraman coming in 1st grade).
    When I was a little kid, while I was a smart kid, I had next to no idea how evolution worked. This is how I believed the different groups of dinosaur evolved:

      Kinda, but it's not actually a squirrel. Cronopio dentiacutis was actually first described in 2011 and was noted for looking strikingly similar to the character from Ice Age. However it's a mesozoic species and it's not closely related to squirrels and rodents as a whole. In fact it's a non-therian mammal, so it's more basal that the modern day marsupial and placental mammals.

    Cute as it looks, I sincerely doubt _Jakapil kaniukura_ would've made for a very suitable pet.
    For starters, it's got an _impressive_ array of defenses - spikes all over, a tail like a flanged mace, a powerful jaw with a relatively high bite force, and powerful legs with hefty claws to propel all that extra mass - which means it would have lived in an exceedingly dangerous environment, much like the modern-day African savannah. Generally, there's three ways of surviving in an environment that is that deadly:
    1) You get really big. Big things are much harder to kill, and in turn can crush any would-be assailants underfoot like insects. Think of what an elephant or rhino, or water buffalo can do to a lion.
    2) You get really small. Tiny things are easy to kill, but also provide much less nutrition, and tend to be difficult to catch because they're relatively fast, agile and capable of getting into spaces bigger things cannot, like burrows and the like. That means a large predator would need to expend a lot of energy trying to catch a meal that does not provide a very good return on investment. On top of that, being small makes it easier to hide and thus escape a predator before it's even decided it wants to eat you.
    3) You get really angry. The final category comprises animals of medium sizes like dogs, hyenas, many flightless birds, badgers, boar, wolverines, other mustelids, porcupines, etc. They protect themselves in a much more pro-active way, by ensuring that anything trying to eat them or their young gets very badly hurt in the process. To that end, they also often develop features like spikes, claws, powerful muscles, and strong bites, combined with a general lack of a sense of self-preservation in favour of a berserker rage and displays of fierce aggression.
    Jakapil, with its impressive array of defenses, combined with its medium size, would likely have had a temper shorter than the average life expectancy of an eel in the desert. In fact, in many ways it's very reminiscent of another medium-sized dinosaur with an awful disposition and the stopping power to back it up that's still alive today in the form of the cassowary - except more extreme in just about every single way.
    Furthermore, theropods (despite what you may think from their reptilian looks) were warm-blooded animals. While its warm-blooded nature would certainly help in adapting to other climates, the fact is that as a pet it'd come into contact with a huge number of other warm-blooded animals (read: humans) with very similar biology to theirs. You may see where this is going: they'd be exposed to a huge number of infectious diseases that they'd have had no chance to evolve defenses against, simply because those diseases wouldn't be able to survive in the hot, arid climate these desert dwellers would live in naturally.
    Long story short, a sickly armoured cassowary with a battleax would make for a terrible pet indeed.

      Yeah I too highly doubt it would be friendly in any semblance of the word evolution after all ancestrally favors fight or flight reflexes and good enough solutions, the characteristics of "tameness" are usually only found naturally in species which have close nit social cohesion, we have no evidence for that level of cooperation in nonavian dinosaurs as generally many perhaps most modern animals even those which will group up situationally are also fairly likely to be solitary depending on the conditions and as a general rule such animals are not tame in the least bit.
      i.e. facultative sociality the type which is fairly widespread among extant animals this doesn't favor strong tameness you need obligate social behavior and or artificial selection for that more tame behavior to appear. These traits for obligate social behavior generally come with strong biological selection like any physical traits which means energetic trade offs in the metabolic budget must be made.
      Perhaps the best evidence against them being friendly is that growing and maintaining living weapons is energetically expensive and resource intensive. The traits an animal can support are limited by their metabolism and available resources and thus if such powerful defensive weapons and armor are not needed then by natural selection they are not going to persist for very long long due to their high metabolic burden impeding reproductive success. Therefore species which have armored and or weaponized bodies are those where these traits are critical for their survival and surprise surprise such animals are unlikely to be friendly...

    Schizophrenic Skeksis? ...So a normal Skeksis, then?
    Jokes aside, I do wonder if maybe Jakapil isn't something of an unintentional chimera--it's not like that hasn't happened before, after all. If the bones were that mixed up and fragmentary as a result of a wandering dunes environment, then it's entirely possible we're looking at a species made up of the fragments of more than one specimen having been mixed together by the movement of the sands before they solidified and fossilized. The fragmentary nature of the find could be hiding that. It'll be interesting to see how this develops...or even _if_ it develops.

  • @floranse5205
    @floranse5205 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hypothetically if somehow it was related to ceratopsians more, and the speculated look turned out to be pretty accurate; would convergent evolution be a plausible explanation to the similar osteoderm like armour of ankylosaurs/stegosaurs?

    The image of jakapil reminds me of an armored iguana with tiny front legs. I'm hoping more fossils of it are found to, um, flesh out the skeleton for lack of a better descriptive term. The existing fossils could be fragmentary and scattered because the creature was ripped apart when it died as well as the terrain in which it lived

    In fairness, I don't think there are many primitive ceratopsians attested (if any at all) in the Gondwanan fossil record to date so I'm also curious just how many of the dental adaptations could be a matter of convergent evolution. But then, my Gondwanan paleobiology is quite fragmentary.
