      Looks like your new to the youtube scene, so i am gonna give you some tips, as i saw a lot of corrected mistakes
      1. Slow down, you dont have to talk so fast.
      2. If your following a script, then why are you correcting your speech with text's?
      3. The corrections are at times too quick, all i see it a blimb of text, in the split second it takes me to notice it, its gone. Need to leave it on screen a while longer.
      Thats my 2cents and i hope you take what i said onboard as its a really great video and hope you do more than what your currently putting out.
      Keep up the good work.
      Cheers,

      @Tegu Iguana It's called Animal Origins though. The Beardog wasn't a cross it was the origin of both bears and dogs.
      Origin (noun)
      The point at which something comes into existence or from which it derives or is derived.

    In medieval Japan tanuki hide was used during the process of hammering gold nuggets into gold leaf. This led to an association between tanuki and wealth, and depictions of tanuki using their "sacks" to literally store and carry around their gold stash. Merchants began to put up tanuki sculptures and paintings in their store fronts, as a sort of way to beckon wealth and prosperity to come to the property. And the bigger the tanuki's man-purse, the more luck and wealth the statue/painting would bring.

      I would go even further. The use of the wolf as a pet may have given us the idea to try it with other animal species in the first place. What kind of a push this meant for our civilizational development cannot be estimated at all. Because hey... Where would we have been without our farm animals...?

    There are a few taxa from Pliocene and Pleistocene North America traditionally assigned to Canis and regarded as being closely related, if not directly ancestral, to Gray Wolf and Coyote. These existed in the same environment as the Dire wolf ancestors after they split from the lineage that leads to the Wolf.
    So are they indeed part of the lineage that leads to Aencyon? Are they representative of an early (or more) instance of back migration into North America? Some other branch of the family?
    I can't wait to see if any new study comes out to takle this matter.

    Some corrections: The cladogram at :53 is basically upside down. The actual first dichotomy in Carnivora based on traits splits primitive mongooses, skunks, raccoons and civets from all other clade members, starting with the coatimundi. This split occurred in the Jurassic, which is why you find Eupleres and Fossa on Madagascar, before it split from Africa and India. Caniformia and Feliformia are genomic clades, which too often recover untenable results, like nesting bats with horses. Genes do not test fossil taxa. Think of it like this: The first slinky, arboreal carnivores were closer to the the slinky, nocturnal, arboreal marsupials that preceded them, if that helps. Thus canids are not primitive, as your cladogram shows. Carnassial teeth are not universal in the Carnivora (e.g. seals and aardwolves lack them because they lost them). Bears are not related to canids, but arose several times from a variety of ancestors, like wolverines and coatimundis, preceding canids. Finally cats and wolves are highly derived members of Carnivora, are closely related to each other and to hyaenas. All are derived from Protictitherium, Daphoneus and kin.

    A good video - however I disagree on your basic premise that dogs evolved from the grey wolf. The best genetic evidence, to my best understanding, is that the dog is descended from a now extinct canid that is related to the grey wolf, but that is more dingo-like than wolf like in overall appearance. I do not have citations as I am here by chance, but assume the info will not be hard to find, I believe the research is relatively recent.

      The extinct Japanese grey wolf (Canis lupus hodophilax) closest living relative is the Domestic dog (Canis familiaris), recent data put the Domestic dog (Canis familiaris) as there closest living relative, including the Dingo dog and New Guinea singing dog that are said to carry the most Japanese grey wolf DNA, [ Personally i place the Dingo dog and New Guinea singing dog as neolithic land breeds of (Canis familiaris), or if that data improves i have no problem with (Canis familiaris dingo), translation Wild loyal dog, personally don't agree with (Canis dingo), as they sit in amoung the clade of the Asian dog breeds (Canis familiaris), and humans shaped them and took them to the Australia's before they ran wild ]. The Japanese grey wolf is said to be closely related to, or related to a population that gave rise to the Domestic dog. All Domestic dog breeds including Dingo dog and New Guinea singing dog, also the extinct Japanese grey wolf (that's from a more basal (primitive) Grey wolf line, are more related to each other, than they are to any living Grey wolf subspecies. So in tern, all living Grey wolf subspecies are more related to each other, than they are to any Domestic dog breeds including Dingo dog and New Guinea singing dog, also the extinct Japanese grey wolf .
