Did anyone notice that these creatures look remarkably like the “dinosaurs” in movies of the 1950’s and 1960’s that were lizards and alligators with horns and other features attached?
Shringa even looks a bit like babylonian dragon, in fact I would not be surprised if some creationists will try to use them as a proof, that prehistoric creatures lived with people
To be fair, we have some very weird fauna in the world today, e.g. hippos, kangaroos, elephants, cassowaries, capybaras, platypus, giant pandas and orang utans.

I would enjoy seeing an expanded discussion of Lystrosaurus, which if I understand correctly was the most numerous large animal to survive the Perm-Tri extinction event and colonized the world, only to become extinct later.
The Triassic was like the Permian, except reluctantly giving everything slightly longer legs and maybe chambered stomachs. Then the rules changed again and everything got longer and taller and faster, because the Earth has clearly been trying to kill all life since the moment it showed up. Lol
I was literally wondering if these animals where archosaurs looking at the thumbnail, clicked on the video and then saw this comment immediately😂😂 thank you
It makes me wonder what they could have evolved into if it wasn't for the Carnian Pluvial Event (CPE) that made them all go extinct. Also, I'm glad there are some videos about paleontology out there where the narrator doesn't speak in that irritating manner we're familiar with from PBS Eons and similar channels, and goes a little deeper than just basic surface knowledge.
Good stuff, thanks. Could you add some cladistic diagrams please. I’m still only getting the jist of these things. I note that Antarctica is rarely if ever mentioned. Is this due to lack of research in that region?
Palaeontology in Antarctica can only be conducted on the coast and islands where there is a lack of Ice cover, so we have very fragmentary and rare fossils from that continent. 4km deep ice caps make excavation quite hard
I love this series! I never knew the sheer weirdness -- and *range* of weirdness -- of Triassic fauna before checking out this series. Wunderbar! BTW, could you do a video on how you came to create this series? That would be a useful addendum to the series itself. :-)
Only related to the background music from this vid, but I’m currently watching this while playing world of Warcraft, naturally shadowlands now, and I’m doing shit at my convenient in ardenweald and I heard the zuldazar music, and I was thinking like “why is this playing in ardenweald, I’m not in or near bwonsamdi’s dungeon, so this has nothing to do with the zandalari” then I took off my computer headset found that it was this vid. Anyway, thanks for confusing me and letting me indulge in another interest of mine while also learning about the interest that is the focal point in this vid lol
I love how paleontologists argue about whether horns were for winning mates or fighting predators as if 99% of extant horned species don't do both. Things that fight with horns... fight with horns, regardless of who it is or why its happening.
How endothermic were they? There is no evidence of insulation and they also they lived in one of the hottest parts of earth’s history. Just eliminating the Carrier’s constraint could be enough to raise their metabolism.

I guess slurposaurs were accurate after all
still tastes like chicken
Insightful.

All that's missing is a caiman with frills glued to it's neck.
The Triassic was filled with weird fauna.
I wonder what the world would look like if the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event didn’t occur.
That's a great idea for a Spec-Evo Project!

I think about that in regards to the Permian-Triassic extinction. It would be a completely different world.

Triasic Archosaurs: When god pushed the random bottom, in the charckter designer.
That's so true! A lot of Paleocene and Eocene mammals were similarly bizarre after the K-PG extinction.
@@dr.polaris6423 yea, but they never got even close to the weirdness of Longisquama , Sharovipteryx, or Atopodentatus.

Hope this channel grows in popularity.
The tragedy is that we all missed the Triassic period which was tons o fun.
These archosaurs are interesting
They sure are! The Triassic was such a novel period in so many ways.
I was literally wondering if these animals where archosaurs looking at the thumbnail, clicked on the video and then saw this comment immediately😂😂 thank you
To think these were one of the lineages that might have taken over had things been slightly different
That's why I love Speculative Evolution!
Turns out Irwin Allen had a lot going for his ideas of cinematic dinosaurs haha
thanks for doing all of this.
Such an underrated channel another great vid 👍
Hey, dude, love your videos. It’s fascinating to learn about animals from our ancient past.
Dr Polaris: “This clade...”
Ernst Mayer: ‘I never heard no bell...’
Why the polar bear with "fancy" garb?
Are the accent and speech mannerism also affected?
Those are some derpy fucking reptiles!
I want to see the long neck horned ones in my backyard.
@ 1:25 "Teraterpeton" made me think immediately of a Plague Doctor not an anteater. I guess I'm just built that way
love your videos.
Thanks. I've never heard of this family before, what a diverse planet this has been at all times!
Earned yourself another sub. Great videos bud
Teraterpeton being odd? What about polar bears with hats?
Good one!
8:56: there was no grass in Triassic.

I am fascinated by Triassic archosaurs!
I can see why! Such a diverse and bizarre range of animals.
Nerds.
Love your vids bro!
Good stuff, thanks.

I note that Antarctica is rarely if ever mentioned. Is this due to lack of research in that region?
Probably. It's hard to excavate there for obvious reasons.
Palaeontology in Antarctica can only be conducted on the coast and islands where there is a lack of Ice cover, so we have very fragmentary and rare fossils from that continent.
4km deep ice caps make excavation quite hard
Makes you wonder whats buried under all that ice.
Secret military bases. And relic civilizations. And break away civilizations. New swabia operation high jump
You should do a video on the 2 ouranopithecus species and graecopithecus i never see vids about them on youtube
Oh gosh you're doing so many good Prehistory videos.
Hope you don't do the Diadectids soon
Cool idea! I'm still working my way through the Archosauromorphs.
@@dr.polaris6423 I'm going to be doing a video on them soon
megalania but carnotaurus and eat plant

Taraterpeton looks like a cross between a lizard and a bird
Shringasaurus imageries seem like old badly-drawned dinosaur imagery.
I think I understand if it's because there's still too little info.

My favorite is whether T-Rex was a scavenger or a hunter. Personally I think they ate what ever they wanted any time they wanted.
@@TheSagerider Rexy wasn't turning anything down.
i liked the "for species identification" reason. pretty sure thats more of a human issue.
There was no grass for azendohsaurus to graze 🤦♀️
Where are your images from?... I'd like to see more
The main images he uses is by PrehistoryByLiam on DeviantArt.
Great videos
I want a pet Shringasaurus.
how ancient is a komodo lizard?
Reminds me of mushushu....
I wonder what weirdness evolution will come up with after the late anthropocene extinction.
Did anyone else pick up on how he said 2050?
Damn skull crawlers
I have a collectA figure of the Shringasaurus
How endothermic were they? There is no evidence of insulation and they also they lived in one of the hottest parts of earth’s history. Just eliminating the Carrier’s constraint could be enough to raise their metabolism.
😍 i want one
Pamelaria
Now tell us how to cook our shringasaurs
That accent can't be for real? 🤔🤦♂️
Your audios are too low
Hero Wars is an awful game don't download it!
This is all speculation based on scant evidence.
