Dr Polaris' videos are well-composed, calming and seemlessly presented in a methodical even tone, perfect for battling insomnia on sleeplessness nights. If you don't fall asleep, you'll learn a great deal.
You have been extremely helpful, for twenty years I've been cataloging organisms as a hobby, illustrating and documenting they're natural histories, I've got thousands of files. Just last week I was documenting Triassic archosaur groups and realized just how diverse THE RELAtives of tanystropheus were. I had them lumped together under one group with animals like shringasaurus. It's been gnawing at me for a while and I finally was able to diversify these files
I always wonder when David Peters went so far off the paleontological rails. I still have a book from my childhood he illustrated from the late 80s called "Gallery of Dinosaurs and Other Early Reptiles" and to this day, that artwork is beautiful and very accurate for the time and even in some ways ahead of the time. Anyway, fantastic video, cheers. 🍻
@@DAVIDPETERS12CYou're a grifter lol, congrats on being another example why the internet's capacity to give everyone a voice was a mistake. PS: Consider AI generating your stuff from now on. Ride the tidal wave of disinfo, brother!
I had no idea until recently that he illustrated "Raptors!", and only chose to portray the titular dinosaurs without feathers because the book's creators demanded it. That was one of my favorite books as a kid. It's disappointing to see that he lost it.

The stuff out of the Triassic always fascinates me. It's so weird and different from anything else we see today, and even relative to other dinosaurs, they seem primitive and alien.
Lol I've been binging your videos and I never expected to hear you tell someone off like that. And it came out of nowhere. You're videos are somehow even cooler now.
My only criticism of your videos would be the audio quality leaving quite a bit to be desired, though the editing is solid and your channel (among others that talk about topics like paleontology and speculative evolution) are my absolute favorite things to play in the background while I'm working or relaxing. Keep up the good work my good man
Thanks for the constructive feedback! I’ll have to sort out a better way to record my voice. I think my mic isn’t that great, so I’ll have to get a better one.
Looking at Tanystropheus, I get the feeling it would have been most practical for it to hunt underwater, since the water would have carried the very long neck and made it lighter. The neck would have been really heavy and required big muscles and tendons to hold it up (like on Diplodocus) which I don't really see on this body.
Thanks for the heads-up about that guy. Froot-Loops like that make it hard for people to get reliable information. You should be teaching....but being a polar bear no doubt puts more obstacles in your way, professionally that is. Thanks again.
Why is Postosuchus always ignored in these Triassic commentaries. Considered here as one of the major Predators of the period. Got up from the sprawling reptile stance, specially it's rear legs putting them under the body, trying to become a Dinosaur but didn't quite get there before their extinction at the Jurassic period. It's like describing the fauna of today's Africa while totally ignoring the Lion.
I spent a few hours in Bigfoot's backyard around the year 2000 in San Diego wildlands through which a creek flowed and a great blue heron flew over my head and I heard things, oh yes, and I knew we (my friend Tye and I) were being watched. What a thrill. I'll tell you about it when I can type.
Dr. Polaris, I got a question about your speculative project ( actually, it's 4 , so I'll separate them in topics) 1- Are the therezinosaurs extinct by this point ? If so, why? ( if you already explained in another video, I apologize beforehand) 2-Are the hesperornithes and the ichtyornithes going to appear in your project, if so, what futher adaptions to life in the oceans will they develop ? 3- Will the rudists, the belenmites,Ichthyodectidae ,the hybodonts and other ancient marine clades be discussed ? If the rudists are still alive, are they still the dominant reef building organisms on the planet, or were they somehow outcompeted by coral ? 4-Which clades will colonize New Zealand and Antartica ?
Hi there thanks for your interesting questions. Unfortunately the Therizinosaurs are gone and have been replaced by a lineage of large herbivorous Troodontid descendants. In addition, both of those lineages are present and I will cover them in a later video. Rudists are still around but they declined significantly, Belemnites are still doing well, Hybodonts died out at the end of the Eocene and so do the Ichthyodectids. Coral eventually take over as reef builders. Antarctica is home to Pinniped- like Monotremes, flightless descendants of Vegavids and many other sea birds.
@@dr.polaris6423 R.I.P my Therezinosaur bois ( but what caused their extinction ?). Are you going to show New zealand and its fauna in the future ( will it be colonized predominantly bya avian dinosaurs, like it happened on Earth ?) ?. One more thing, when you wrote " both those lineages", were you referring to the hesperornithes and ichtyornithes ?( ps: So the hybodonts died out in the Eocene, huh ? That's curious, given that they survived in our Earth up to the Late Miocene, if the dating of Miosynechodus's fossils is correct. Is there a reason they died out earlier in AE-alternate earth ?)
Ah yes, the Tanystropheids...perhaps the family of archosauromorphs reptiles that produced the most weird oddballs in the Triassic. Also...I recognize that type of cryptids.....aw yes! We’re going to Europe baby!
Just after the weirdness of the Permian period. My state of Colorado, is known more for Jurassic specimens than any other period. Would love to see these Triassic weirdos in person, we probably aren’t going to be close to what they really looked like.
love the info and illustrations. More credit to the artists would be cool. I think the polar bear graphic interrupts the flow too many times. Its my only critique but youre welcome to it.
Could those long necked ones be ancestors of sauropterygians? I’ve seen it argued that the weren’t aquatic because they’re tails are flattened too to bottom, which would preclude side to side motion for swimming the way crocodiles do. However, sauropterygians (e.g. plesiosaurs etc) we’re the one group of aquatic reptiles to move their tails in an up and down motion to swim. That would fit.
At approximately 7:50 you mentioned what I assumed was an Italian scientist whose name you pronounced as 'De La Veccia'. I could find nothing on this person. I therefore assume that you were mispronouncing 'De La Vecchia' Ch is always hard in Italian. It would be good to put the printed name in the video if you insist on not finding out how to pronounce names, as the English tend to do.
Impossible animals, eh, mate? Some ran ON water. Never mind the fake paleoze. That guy doesn't need your publicity. Watch birds, everyday, kids, if you want to know dinos. Nice work.

I could be way out there, but how much time passes between the last tanystrophids, and the first plesiosaurs?
That's a good question! I'll have to look into that but they may have overlapped slightly.
