Saw your Spinosaurus video and i thought i was watching a channel with million subscribers but holy cow, you are criminally underrated so here is a like and a comment for the algorithm, i hope you will get popular because you honestly deserve it with such high quality videos, and also more dinosaur related videos would be neat, good luck, and don't give up!
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate you helping my video to win the algorithm :D. And a dinosaur video is in the works and is coming up next, hopefully soon, stay tuned!
What a great video. It is very interesting how little most of us know about the Dodo, even those who have an interest in such things as extinct animals. I learned much from this, you changed my view on this animal drastically and I will not refrain from sending your video to anyone who might need to know more about Dodos.
Thanks Lohjutsu. I know right? The dodo is such a misunderstood animal, so sad that it's dead and we can no longer see it live. And I'm glad to know that my video is doing its job, telling people new things! I'll also appreciate it if you'll share my video to people with who are interested about the dodos, thanks again!
This is by far the best video of the dodo on youtube! (Also the dodo is my favorite animal so extra points). You are so underrated, please keep up this masterpiece :)
I had no idea the Dodo was surrounded by all this "misinformation". Looks like it was an animal to very well known even when it was alive. Also surprised about all the other species from Mauritius that went extinct.
Yeah, it's true AlejoLab. The dodo was popular but it wasn't properly documented which resulted in such over-zealous misinterpretations. And the extinct animals I mentioned are just a few among many more, some are even not yet described or identified, which is heartbreaking.
This channel is so good!! Keep doing what you're doing and you're bound to get huge one day! As a content creator myself, I understand how hard the grind is, so keep it up 💛
Thanks for your support! I've checked your channel and your videos are amazing as well! And yeah, I just try not to care too much at how many views each video get and just focus on making more and better quality videos!
Such an incredible video, I was shocked to see you don’t have a million subs. Keep up the good work, you’re sure to blow up with this incredible effort. Plus you got one new sub from me
@@FactorTrace TH-cam is a lot about sitting tight and waiting for the algorithmic winds to blow in your favor. You have probably already seen those little spikes in engagement, and there will be more, and bigger, I have no doubt. Just keep doing what you're doing, look at how much people love it, it's only uphill from here!
@@FactorTrace Also want to say that I appreciate that one of your first videos is on animal farming. It warmed my heart to see that (though the video was pretty bleak, of course). You are amazing!!! Keep it up!
@@HuckleberryHim Thank you very much for your support, I really appreciate it! I'm still trying to improve and make better videos. Hopefully the algorithm turns to my favour soon. And yes, I do plan on making more videos about important topics that need more attention like factory farming in the future, but I do notice that those types of videos don't really work well on TH-cam, primarily for a small channel like mine. I should maybe cover more marketable topics for now.
@@claudiostraniero4919 my bad I didn't mean "replace" but it would be either a "rare food for rich tiktok creator's" or it would be in some fancy restaurants.
@@claudiostraniero4919 I was just meaning that the dodo was really big without growing hormones like modern chickens so it could have been modernized to better eating because it was very tough meat but apparently also tasty. Anyway have a good day/night
Entertaining, informative, well presented video. I found it by accident, and like many others here, I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers. I will try to put the word out about you.
11:00 Well everything considered they where remarkably close . The general head, beak, and body shape is all there as is the two tone feather and beak coloration. And looking back at Roelant Savery's depiction he painted the parrots accurately. Perhaps the inconsistencies could be down to having seen a pet dodo that had obesity from being over fed on grains or stress or as you said a stuffed Dodo could have been used, yet that wouldn't explain the different coloration. Its a very common form of sexual dimorphism for male birds to be much more colorful than females, which could easily explain both Roelant's and Ustad's differing depictions. I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion these were faked based upon the evidence given. That said Roelant could have added flourishes to his art here and there. I mean no depiction in the video or any fossil evidence suggests Dodos had blue eyes and the scientifically accurate one you depicted had blue. It doesn't mean they didn't, of course, but you see my point I'm sure. That said I enjoyed your video and it's clear you put a fair bit of time into it, and I enjoy learning so thanks!
Life for the Dodo for 4 million years. Paradise. Heaven. That was a great move coming here. From September 1598. Hell. It wasn't a good move after all.
I believe that the true depiction of both the Red Rail bird of Mauritius and the Dodo bird of Mauritius were those painted by Jacob Hoefnagel. The red rail was based off the bird in the menagerie of the King of Poland which was taxidermy ( Since has been lost ). If that red rail painting one was painted from life accurately , then odds are the painting of the dodo by Jacob Hoefnagel is true I believe. I beleive the dodo was a taxidermied specimen but there's much more info & records on the Red Rail painting than the dodo painting. Just my opinion.
Actually, the misrepresentation doesn't come from the painter's depictions, but from the taxidermy itself. Some old taxidermists weren't biologists or experts in animal anatomy they were artists that have never seen the actual animal. One extreme example is the Lion of Gripsholm Castle. Hoefnagel might have accurately painted the taxidermy, but the taxidermy is not an accurate depiction of the live animal.
@@FactorTrace True. It's possible that the red rail & dodo weren't the best stuffed specimens.... The hoefnagel painting looks the most similar to the colorless drawings made by the crew of the Gelderland.
@@iamarizonaball2642 I appreciate it! I have planned to make a video about the great auk since I started the Holocene Extinction series, you can see a drawing of it in every title sequence of this series 0:58 . And you can get featured in the end credits scene by supporting Factor Trace on Patreon!
@@FactorTraceI am unsure about supporting you with money, but I’m sure some motivational support would pay just as good, if not better. (It’s been 4 months, im happy to oblige.)
Yeah, it's such a shame the dodo went extinct. Currently, Colossal Biosciences, the same company that plans to ressurect the mammoth, has planned to bring back the dodo as well. But as I know it, it is still in the development stage.
@@FactorTrace fun fact, they can be brought back. All we need is a section of Mauritius to be reforested, the Mauritian government to enact anti poaching laws, and science to get its act together and finally declare revival of extinct species to be ethical, and that it should be done.
@@iamarizonaball2642 Yeah it's true, I am going to talk about the resurrection of extinct animals in the last episode of this series (eps 6), however in my current state of research, I am not entirely convinced that bringing dead species back to life is the correct course of action, especially for long extinct species like the dodo.
@@FactorTrace wonder if there are any extinct cacti? Who knows, maybe in said last episode you could add on one of the world map view for Arizona, have a saguaro cactus?
@@FactorTrace well, it’s debatable, but what scientist hidden wouldn’t make crazy experiments? It could be that the dodo bird is currently being revived soon
@@paleoph6168 Yeah sorry it took a while, I was working on other videos first, namely the dino ones since the paleontology videos are more demanded by viewers 😁
The round island burrowing boa was a small type of snake, its adult length was just around 1 meter. It inhabited a small area of the island, probably a different area where most of the dodos lived, and it preyed on small animals. The dodo, even the egg and the hatchling were too big for this boa.
Oh yeah, that was a deliberate choice. I used the iconic dodo illustration for the title sequence because I assume it's what a dodo looks like to most people.
This channel is crazy underrated. Hoping you make it big real soon! Your production quality is top notch.

Man if the dodo was still alive it would be the biggest meme animal in history.
