    I find it so absolutely fascinating that in both Caniforms and Feliforms you see the existence of tubular carnivores like the Mongoose and the Weasel. Seeing both sides of Carnivorous mammal family tree say "You know what, reptiles had the right idea, become tube." and then run with it is quite the fun example of convergent evolution.

      if you look back all mammals descent from either three shrews/groundshrews like creatures so it wouldnt be wierd to go from that to when the dino where dead that some of those became the new preditors aka carnivorians

    Hey Lindsay, remember me and my weird “centipede going into my ear” story? I live in Canada, Alberta to be specific, and we have centipedes literally everywhere, I constantly shake them out of pant legs and towels all the freaking time. I distinctly remember you saying you were freaked out by my story, if so, that could be one mark against Canada. We may be a whimsical people, but we deal with some pretty heinous shit here. Currently it’s so cold where I live that just breathing is giving me brain freeze, and I live far enough south that I don’t have to worry about wandering polar bears, but there are a LOT of coyotes here, and they’re bold though to gang up on people in groups of 20-30 members, I had to stare down like 14 of them just yesterday around sunset while shovelling the snow on my pavement.

    • @1003JustinLaw
      @1003JustinLaw หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ @ you’re not likely to die even if you run into one of them big ghost boys, rest assured. The parts that’s more likely to get visited by these dudes have laws that forbid the locking of cars and doors so in the case anyone have to stare down the barrel of a polar bear’s nose they can duck into any nearby car or house and call for help. However, if you do end up getting grabbed by the big ghost bear, save a bullet for yourself, not even kidding. Polar bears don’t wait until you’re dead to start eating, in fact they prefer to keep you alive and screaming because it keeps your body (and thus their food) from freezing. They’re only after your fatty bits, namely your butt, thighs, belly, breasts, and face, and after ripping those parts off they’ll just leave you to die from the elements.

We respect each other’s courage in the face of one another’s respective challenges, and we won’t think of stealing any title away from each other. Australia is the most randomly dangerous land where something that is near-totally transparent and only two inches long can give you a pain so bad you want to shoot yourself and wild animals are so abundant that the corners of your room counts as “the wild”; Canada is the most expectedly dangerous place where being outside for longer than a minute in just the “right” conditions can turn you into a human popsicle and every wild animal is either huge (have you SEEN our moose and elk), violent, or both.

      I was raised by boomers who once left us with a babysitter (way back in 1978) who thought it would be a great idea to show us children how to “hyperventilate.” Not cool. But the big problem was this guy fell back into an exotic cacti from South America that the “lady of the house” owned.
      The plant had very large, obvious spikes that were gnarly as hell. But it also had microscopic barbs surrounding each of the MANY larger spikes. These went in under the guy’s skin and caused absolute agony immediately as well as causing severe dermatological issues for years after.
      True story. Freakin’ Boomers!! 😅
      Cacti are dangerous and have evolved excellent defense mechanisms.
      Also? It’s ain’t cool to show children ages 5-8 how to auto asphyxiate themselves as a party trick.

    For me, it's a little bittersweet moving on from the Mesozoic because I miss the nonavian dinosaurs. The dinosaurs, especially Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, are my favorite animals of all time, so it almost feels like the good times are over.
    Thank God, though, for the terror birds keeping the theropod apex predator legacy going, and for freaky oddball early mammals like Paraceratherium, Basilosaurus, Andrewsarchus, and the entelodonts. Life might not be as big as in the Mesozoic, but it's no less weird and wonderful.

      Her videos are most likely completely and entirely demonetized by YT, as a result of presence of the swearing and the absence of animals in peril. YT just *_loves_* animal abuse vids that show the aftermath of the mistreatment as long as it doesn't show the actual mistreatment. 😠 Those channels get monetized and promoted. 😠😡 YT is totally hypocritical.

Like pick your topics, write your scripts, etc. I have a master's degree in something I'm really passionate about and want to educate people about it, but I do not have the slightest didly do idea where to start.
    Also seriously your channel is my favorite on youtube and I would watch a whole ass Attenborough style documentary of yours on netflix or something

      Not all Americans say "eh-pick"! I haven't heard anyone using the British pronunciation "ee-pock"...at least not yet. But I have heard, and use, the pronunciation "eh-pock". Not that the word comes up in everyday conversation, but I watched a lot of science- and history-themed shows and movies back when I was a child -- in the late 20th Century -- and I suppose I must have picked up the narrators' pronunciations.
