Even the herbivores have managed to survive long enough in the midst of a carnivorous hellscape. Makes me believe in myself a little.

We knew a lot less back then. Sometimes tell me bro and still alive parents about new developments. All these new soft matter finds everywhere. Up to point they won't believe "Dino with feathers, you don't say ! "
@reuireuiop0 to be fair, even if your biology schooling is only 25 years ago, just about everything you know about phylogeny is false, being based on morphology and not genetics. If you'd told 18 year old me doing his A-levels that Hippos are relatives to the whale and dolphin, that the closest relative to the elephant are the hyrax and manatee... I would have strongly doubted you. I would have been prepared for feathered dinosaurs, as that has been a strong theory for nearly half a century (let's not forget jurassic park is coming up on 35yrs)
@@369frequencyandvibration To quote Clint from Clint's Reptiles channel, you cannot evolve out of a clade. So, no apes evolving into dolphins anytime ever.
The prehistoric world just keeps getting weirder the more I hear about it and I absolutely love it. I wish, just for a short time to be able to see into the past. See these behemoths with my own eyes
The present world is also weirder the more you learn about it. I mean, look up Hemicentetes (or Streaked Tenrec), tree kangaroo, or horned screamer. Some of the weirdest animals I've ever seen.
Interestingly enough, the great Permian Extinction lasted for such a long time (200.000 years) that the species that suffered it most probably didn't realize what was happening. Thousands upon thousands of generations of animals and plants were born and died during that period. Some probably even thrived, and changes ocurred without much disturbance. Only, things were gradually and very slowly getting worse, the habitats becoming scarcer, competition more fierce... until the last 20.000 years when most of the extinctions happened. But even then it would've been extremely slow and relatively uneventful. Human civilization is less than 7000 years old, written history is 5000 years old. It's like having an ancestor from a milennia ago writing how the desert that's near your home used to be a forest, that the people back then were slightly taller and they used to have a slightly longer lifespan. By comparison, I'd bet the extinction from the Cretacic was way more sudden and traumatic, even if the long term harm wasn't nearly as large.
Props to the paleo-artists and CGI team from Primeval! Their depiction of a super-sized gorgonopsid served as the basic template that most folks still use today. 🙂
Its so crazy that we can go back this far and still be talking about animals more closely to mammals than reptiles. I really need to spend some time with a evolutionary lineage chart and figure out what came from where...
Most of mammals or "neutral" species that werent either reptillic or bird-like species are extinct by now, there alot of exceptions but those other species are which evolved much later after prehiastoric era
@@EnlightenedSavage I imagine it's a near impossible task. I don't remember the channel, but some YT video visualized the evolution of humans from apes generation by generation, and of course, at no point did one become another. Change happens so gradually, how do you even determine if two animals are the same species or different ones?
Just came across your channel and appreciate it that you don't spam the videos with music. Perfect to relax and listen to with my morning coffee. Thank you

The deep sea could’ve had so many horrifying things in it back then, and we really wouldn’t know by the sheer amount of deep sea sediments that just don’t exist anymore. We know what was in the shallow ocean very well, but again, just the areas that still exist.
@@abdulsabri6551water is extremely corrosive. Think oxidation and friction erosion. Air, on the other hand, is a lot less corrosive. Also consider that when considering soft bodied organisms like jellyfish, virtually 0 live on land. For aquatic life, bones tend to last long enough against water to become buried in sediment and fossilize. Soft bodied stuff would get swept away, eaten up, or simply deteriorate before it could ever become buried and fossilize.
@@Gavolak Also the sea floors get destroyed by the continental plates very regularly. To the point that unless it was shoved up into a mountain, it's all gone by now anyways.
You're buggered if you can't swim. I love this period of history, the Dinosaurs are great and all but they've been done to death. The Gorgonopsia are one of nature's most bad ass predators.
Yeah... and they were a close sister-group to the more mammal-like cynodonts from which we directly descended, their body-plan would also echo through hundreds of millions of years through their surviving close relatives. So, though they lived a quarter of a billion years ago when this planet was very different, they are arguably more alive than the dinosaurs are.
The Ocean has a way of breeding some truly high spec life. Having to constantly be aware of literally every direction including up and down as well as having zero cover outside of very rare zones forces some really optimized evolutions
The fact that some of the critters you've described were thought to also be venomous, is a new consideration for me. That makes some of these beasts even more terrifying! It may turn out that similar to the Komodo Dragon, they were more bacteriological infectors than venom producers but all the same, that would certainly up their successful kill count. Thanks once again for a very insightful presentation my friend! :)
Pangea and the Panthallasic Ocean are simply mind blowing to me. Imagining the surface of Earth being that different is like a primordial horror somehow.
I can’t help but imagine that the gorgonopsids had ears resembling those of hippopotamus. There’s something uncanny about these earless reconstructions. 🤔
i agree, though the earless reconstructions are coming from somewhere. the gorgonopsids, and therapsids in general, didnt have complex enough ears (inner) to warrant any sort of outer ears. i believe the first potential outer ears similar to mammalian ears were in the cynodonts from the triassic? maaaybe? check me on that, its probably not quite right. however the first ears are still pretty speculative and unagreed on, its a surprisingly contentious question.
@@simplypink8375Okay, I need to find out at which point in time big long bunny ears would have become a useful adaptation, so I know what kinds of prehistoric animals I can turn into giant rabbits.
I'm the only one that is imagining the beast talking? Like, it's totally gonna devour you but while talking like an old man. "Kids these days... You couldn't stay away from the time machine didn't you? Well, I'm sorry but it's not my fault... I'm just an old hungry gorgonopsid. I hope you are comprehensive and can understand my behaviour. If not in life at least in death."
Yes, but not because of the fauna. Prehistoric humans lived beside larger, more dangerous animals. Atmospheric composition, climate, and finding a stable food source would be bigger challenges.

You probably wouldn't get that many different responses than you would showing third world peasants today, tbh. Ranging from absolutely fascinated to not really buying the idea to "Neat... anyways...". Though the timescales presented would probably sound absolutely ludicrous to them. But they almost certainly wouldn't view it as a contrary view to their religion or worldview unless you specifically presented it as such. They really liked antediluvian lore and would probably consider this an interesting (even if wildly unfounded seeming) theory on the megafauna of those times.
i clicked on this video thinking it would be a few minutes, and would be a good time waster, but in fact was not. This video was very interesting and I liked learning about the Permian Period
The footage you used around 3:33 was of Brontoscorpio, a giant scorpion which lived during the Devonian and was a true scorpion and not a eurypterid. The name "sea scorpion" is a bit of a misnomer, as it is unclear whether eurypterids were closely related to arachnids, but they are thought to be chelicerates, a group that includes arachnids and horseshoe crabs.
As a Russian who often was in the modern Permian region, that is still not the first place you would like to visit, though I didn't see any inostrancevias :)
Interesting how many of them lived in South Africa, when the part on the Rubidgea Atrox came up, I remembered of when I was a child my grandma took me to a little museum in Nieuw-Bethesa, as then I was very big into dinosaurs. The museum didnt have dinosaurs, but Permian animals! The other day i found my photo standing with them and the lady at the museum even showed me some fossils in the nearby stream. She also took my grandma and I to a nearby archaeologist, busy getting some fossils ready. It was really cool to learn about them now again after so many years, even though I don't remember what the lady told me 😅
Coelurosauravus was the closest that evolution came to a dragon, the structures that allowed these animals to glide, were not part of their four limbs, if they had not become extinct, perhaps, they could have developed two more new limbs that could function as wings , becoming the first hexapod, a true dragon!
Just gonna throw this out there, I subbed a couple weeks ago and just had to resub because youtube auto unsubbed me, I know it's platform on and off issue so I wanted to highlight it here.
Thank god nature doesnt allow that to exist for very long. And thank whatever allowed the oxygen levels on earth to drop so we dont have to deal with giant monstrosities anymore.
The visuals, diagrams and renderings are extremely appreciated, you really brought to life all these old species for me, and I think I now have a deeper interest in the old ecosystems and life on earth. Thank you so much!
You could bring down a gorgonopsid with a 12 Gauge 1oz slug. As for the giant sea scorpions, they'd make a great feast, they were pretty much lobsters with stingers.
The gorgons seriously remind me of oversized honey badgers in all honesty from what’s been described Edit: they all are built like little wolverines or badgers tbh that’s actually really cool but just my high mind
Great video! I look at those gorgonopsid skulls and wonder if they were better equipped for the sabertooth ecomorph than the skulls of felids. Their longer skulls would have probably offered an easier time of reaching wider gapes than sabertooth cats, and permitting faster jaw closure. And the larger skull size relative to body size would have compensated to some degree for lower mechanical performance 💀🤓
I really enjoy your comprehensive videos going over the general biodiversity during specific time periods. It would be cool to see a similar style video which goes over the dangerous animals around today to be shown to someone from another time period.
I would love if you made multiple videos on analysing the different species present at diferent times in history, I'd love a similar video on the Carboniferous or Ordovician etc
Wasn’t that situation caused by perm trias extinction, which basically killed 80% of marine species due to acidification? So, main threat was not predators, but the water itself
The helicoprion is the result of a nope shark playing with an ouija board in the 7th circle of hell and proceeding to be possessed by the devil himself. Change my mind.
It could be that all of the huge water creatures during the permian were gigantic squid, octopuses and jellyfish, soft bodies that rarely ever fossilize.
Especially because that was before first marine reptiles.
Helicoprion survived till the early Triassic as well so they were still around

This video actually made me cry a bit. A lot of the Earth’s land was uninhabitable and there weren’t many sea creatures either in this time period. Yet, it still took the Great Dying to really take out most of the flora and fauna that have managed to survive long enough to witness such an event. No matter what era you pick from this earth, there’s still some form of great and main suffering, yet there are still many ways that remaining living creatures have managed to sustain life and even their bloodlines. Even the herbivores have managed to survive long enough in the midst of a carnivorous hellscape. Makes me believe in myself a little.

"Dino with feathers, you don't say ! "
@reuireuiop0 to be fair, even if your biology schooling is only 25 years ago, just about everything you know about phylogeny is false, being based on morphology and not genetics.
If you'd told 18 year old me doing his A-levels that Hippos are relatives to the whale and dolphin, that the closest relative to the elephant are the hyrax and manatee... I would have strongly doubted you.
I would have been prepared for feathered dinosaurs, as that has been a strong theory for nearly half a century (let's not forget jurassic park is coming up on 35yrs)

Interestingly enough, the great Permian Extinction lasted for such a long time (200.000 years) that the species that suffered it most probably didn't realize what was happening. Thousands upon thousands of generations of animals and plants were born and died during that period. Some probably even thrived, and changes ocurred without much disturbance.
Only, things were gradually and very slowly getting worse, the habitats becoming scarcer, competition more fierce... until the last 20.000 years when most of the extinctions happened. But even then it would've been extremely slow and relatively uneventful. Human civilization is less than 7000 years old, written history is 5000 years old.
It's like having an ancestor from a milennia ago writing how the desert that's near your home used to be a forest, that the people back then were slightly taller and they used to have a slightly longer lifespan.
By comparison, I'd bet the extinction from the Cretacic was way more sudden and traumatic, even if the long term harm wasn't nearly as large.

The earth before dinosaurs was truly a fever dream
Its so crazy that we can go back this far and still be talking about animals more closely to mammals than reptiles. I really need to spend some time with a evolutionary lineage chart and figure out what came from where...
Most of mammals or "neutral" species that werent either reptillic or bird-like species are extinct by now, there alot of exceptions but those other species are which evolved much later after prehiastoric era
Taxonomy is a huge area of misunderstanding and lack of work. There definitely needs to be some work to join a large chunk of the Taxonomic history.
@@EnlightenedSavage I imagine it's a near impossible task. I don't remember the channel, but some YT video visualized the evolution of humans from apes generation by generation, and of course, at no point did one become another.

September 23, 2024 - This video is about one of my most favorite Nature subjects. While the rapid fire delivery of hard to remember species' names, can prove daunting.

My thanks to the host of the channel.
Fossils are preserved because of specific circumstances.
We truly have no clue what was in seas at that time.
The deep sea could’ve had so many horrifying things in it back then, and we really wouldn’t know by the sheer amount of deep sea sediments that just don’t exist anymore. We know what was in the shallow ocean very well, but again, just the areas that still exist.
Entirely possible that the reason why we don't have tons of bony sea beasts in this time period is because soft-bodied sea beasts were having a heyday
Same with land and yet we find beasts there but nothing in the ocean.
@@abdulsabri6551water is extremely corrosive. Think oxidation and friction erosion. Air, on the other hand, is a lot less corrosive. Also consider that when considering soft bodied organisms like jellyfish, virtually 0 live on land. For aquatic life, bones tend to last long enough against water to become buried in sediment and fossilize. Soft bodied stuff would get swept away, eaten up, or simply deteriorate before it could ever become buried and fossilize.
@@Gavolak Also the sea floors get destroyed by the continental plates very regularly. To the point that unless it was shoved up into a mountain, it's all gone by now anyways.
You're buggered if you can't swim. I love this period of history, the Dinosaurs are great and all but they've been done to death. The Gorgonopsia are one of nature's most bad ass predators.
Yeah... and they were a close sister-group to the more mammal-like cynodonts from which we directly descended, their body-plan would also echo through hundreds of millions of years through their surviving close relatives. So, though they lived a quarter of a billion years ago when this planet was very different, they are arguably more alive than the dinosaurs are.
@@TheThrivingTherapsid Ayy! Another Therapsid who is fascinated by his Therapsid brethren!
wrong.
The Ocean has a way of breeding some truly high spec life. Having to constantly be aware of literally every direction including up and down as well as having zero cover outside of very rare zones forces some really optimized evolutions

The fact that some of the critters you've described were thought to also be venomous, is a new consideration for me. That makes some of these beasts even more terrifying!
It may turn out that similar to the Komodo Dragon, they were more bacteriological infectors than venom producers but all the same, that would certainly up their successful kill count.

I love the saturday mornings, just to watch this amazing channel.
Pangea and the Panthallasic Ocean are simply mind blowing to me. Imagining the surface of Earth being that different is like a primordial horror somehow.
I can’t help but imagine that the gorgonopsids had ears resembling those of hippopotamus. There’s something uncanny about these earless reconstructions. 🤔
Oh that's what they're missing! They always seemed a little off to me, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Their face look like Big Cats too
i agree, though the earless reconstructions are coming from somewhere. the gorgonopsids, and therapsids in general, didnt have complex enough ears (inner) to warrant any sort of outer ears. i believe the first potential outer ears similar to mammalian ears were in the cynodonts from the triassic? maaaybe? check me on that, its probably not quite right. however the first ears are still pretty speculative and unagreed on, its a surprisingly contentious question.
@@simplypink8375Okay, I need to find out at which point in time big long bunny ears would have become a useful adaptation, so I know what kinds of prehistoric animals I can turn into giant rabbits.

You probably wouldn't get that many different responses than you would showing third world peasants today, tbh. Ranging from absolutely fascinated to not really buying the idea to "Neat... anyways...". Though the timescales presented would probably sound absolutely ludicrous to them. But they almost certainly wouldn't view it as a contrary view to their religion or worldview unless you specifically presented it as such. They really liked antediluvian lore and would probably consider this an interesting (even if wildly unfounded seeming) theory on the megafauna of those times.
