Next video be like: I will go on a expectation to find the WOOLLY MAMMOTH. Comes back from the expedition: I wasn't able to find the woolly mammoth, but an old man from a village near by told me he saw a herd of them walk by!!!
At least with the Thylacine it's pretty small, people say they see them, there's a closer date to the present (extinction date 1936), but a 30 foot super manatee that can't dive is not hiding that long
Far more likely a 30’ sea mammal is hiding than a 4’ land mammal. If you believe otherwise, you’ve got not concept of the vastness of the ocean. They just discovered a new 30’ species of beaked whale a couple years ago… how outrageous!!!
It’s a coastal specialized giant marine herbivore. We would’ve recorded them by now. Unfortunately it seems with hunting, as well as the overhunting of the sea otters that essentially tended to the kelp forests the sea cows depended on by eating things like sea urchins did these animals in By the time hunting stopped and sea otters recovered it was too late I smell another grift by Forrest, especially when he says that Steller’s sea cows are thousands of miles from their former distribution in GREENLAND

Forrest Galante: *Posts a video about why he thinks a long extinct species is actually alive.* Beaver and Xseidet: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
gamingbeaver has been the main element of my childhood since day 1 i love your jurassic world videos and i love your channel in general i cant begin on how i miss my childhood..
When you have a stomach that big you need a lot of food to survive. There is no way the sea cow survived. First the hungry people, second starvation, third not enough reproducing going on
even if steller's sea cow (also tasmanian tiger, moa, and other animals believed to be extinct) really still out there, i'm pretty sure they're already functionally extinct
God, I wish the Stellers sea cow was still around. Must have been a wonderful creature to witness. In related news, Dugongs and Manatees are gentle giants who are endangered right now, suffering under the very same effects that caused the extinction of the stellers - overhunting by humans for the dugong and habitat destruction for both. Feels like an insult to the whole group to pretend there is any shot of the stellers still being alive - it isn't, and if we feel-good-pretend otherwise, its kin might not remain alive for long anymore, either.
Beavs, I really appreciate your work on analyzing Forrest as of yet, but I think there's still some stuff about him as a biologist that you should understand. Forrest is what many people call a parachute biologist, which means he's known to take credit for the work of others. He's done so with a few of the species that premiered in his "Extinct or Alive" show, claiming to himself be responsible for discoveries made by other people around the same time and place, and I imagine it's because scientific discovery is a name game for him. He wants his name to be remembered, which is why he's so focused on extinct species rediscovery, and getting himself in locations - and also why almost every time he actually goes to said places, he claims to have found what he was looking for, or at least enough tantalizing evidence to get some articles written about him. Furthermore, it's work looking into why he was banned from the Galápagos islands after his "Extinct or Alive" episode on a tortoise subspecies there. A good article, while I can't link it here, is titled "The Damage Forrest Galante Has Done to Conservation Biology". While I'd be as bad as Forrest if I took all words in said article at face value and copy-pasted them here as evidence, I think it's at the very least worth a read so you can form your own opinions on the matter. In short, Forrest has proven himself (at least to me) to be a sensationalist, a credit thief, and personally someone whose word I do not trust.
He's a celebrity biologist. He's good at getting people interested in zoology and conservation but ultimately he does a significant amount of damage in the field.
Please beaver, continue what you are doing, you have not only made my childhood fun with your primal carnage, ark, Jurassic world the game videos, etc. You have also done it for many others. I on behalf of all your beaver babies want to say, thank you for shining a light in a world of darkness. Have a good day beaver.
@@michaeltenn983 I can also give you reasons about why I think the dodo bird is still out there, but without evidence to sustain is just loose ideas, not even an hypothesis 🤷♂️
@@michaeltenn983 because there's no possibility at all. Simple as that. The sightings are way too subjective and the tales of different countries could refer to different animals but the one he is talking about. Until someone truly documents a specimen seen with photography and videos, it will remain extinct.
I love Manatees, they’re so silly and goofy:) I love them, they are my second favourite sea creature. First being the Basking Shark, search them up, or don’t, you might get nightmares but I love because their scary, they’re so cute:)
As somebody that lives in Illinois that’s a super boring trip. You can just go do that. I’d rather almost freeze to death, looking for the giant manatee and getting slapped in the face with a big fish.
Tbh this is as bad as the ones who believe there's a plesisaur in scotland, a trex, stego, triceratops & a long neck living in africa... all while a 60ft mega shark is in the marina trench...
No it’s not. Stellar sea cow went extinct 250 years ago, all those that you listed were gone for millions of years ago. The reason that extinction is an inexact science is because we cannot cover 100% of the earth to know that there aren’t any others out there. We know that there aren’t any t-Rex out there because over the millions of years they would have had time to grow back to the population they once were. Forrest has discovered over 7 previously extinct species over the past 6 years. He’s not crazy like others you are talking about. He’s a scientist, hoping that he can reverse and protect a species that humans may have caused the “extinction” of.
@@CheeseMaster9 taxa that are no longer valid (lion, wolves, clouded leopard and leopard), stolen credit (caiman, tortoises and langur) and even a few fabrications (leopard as well)
Yup. He's merging extinct animal and Cryptids with the supposed sightings and very questionable photos. I know I said it before but if you want to convince people, at least put more logic into it. The recent debacle of Javanese tiger, although also still debated, had some solid "evidence" to it. They actually found Tiger's hair on some wired fences in a region with no tigers in it. That makes people question things instead of showing some lumps at the surface of the water and said it was an extinct giant marine animal.
As cool as it would be to see living Stellar's sea cows, I genuinely believe that they are extinct. Considering the fact that the habitats that Stellar's sea cows were known to live in are pretty well explored, I think the chance of a sustainable population of this titan going undetected for over 200 years is nigh on impossible.
So your telling me a few people on remote island who have probably gone crazy claim to have seen a giant creature in the water that has been extinct for nearly 200 years and that’s enough for Forrest to make a video about it
Seems like that was a case of stolen valour anyway. A local park ranger named Jeffreys Málaga did the tracking work and found the tortoise first. The Tortoises Wikipedia article was more or less just about this one incident and the controversy surrounding it last I checked, too
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 I'm glad your bringing it to light I found this fun little article on Forrest's exploits The Damage Forrest Galante Has Done to Conservation Biology
@@Drewsanimations The Fernandina Island tortoise (Chelonoidis phantasticus) was described in 1907 based upon a specimen collected the previous year (Van Denburgh, 1907). However, it had never been seen since, partly because nobody had specifically looked for it. And even though there were occasional signs over the years that tortoises still inhabited the island, it was assessed as possibly extinct by the IUCN (Rhodin et al., 2017). Subsequently, an expedition was planned to search for the species on Fernandina Island to confirm its persistence. A television crew tagged along, but when an individual tortoise was found by ranger Jeffreys Málaga, the host of the television show, who had nothing to do with the planning, seized the opportunity and took public the credit for the find. The specific details of this highly unethical behaviour by Forrest Galante are given by (Wight, 2020). Although I have not read his new book, 'Still Alive: A Wild Life of Rediscovery' (2021), it appears that he now does credit ranger Jeffreys Málaga with having found the tortoise. But the audience for a popular television show is far more than for a non-fiction book, so that the damage done was not nearly undone and almost certainly will never be. That isnt from Wiki its from an artical called The Damage Forrest Galante Has Done to Conservation Biology I would link it but TH-cam hates links.
@@Drewsanimations Wikipedia is fairly reliable. And even if you don't trust it, it provide links to its sources so you can make an informed decision on the reliability of the given information.
16:42 Ah yes, the "Ocean is so big we haven't explored it all, who knows what's down there" argument. Absence of evidence may not be evidence of absence, but lack of convincing proof makes arguments for extinct creatures continuing to live on very weak indeed.
8:01 He also mentions that the man leading the expedition stated that the meat was more tasty than quorn beef which hadn’t been made until 1985 so there’s yet another error with Forrest’s claim surprise surprise
That's the kinds of animal sighting that I always find super weird. Like, how am I supposed to believe that random people saw this specific kind of sea cow and not just another kind of sea cow or manatee?? Why should I think that eye witnesses have such pristine zoology knowledge that they can differentiate between different kinds of sea mammals, especially since animals tend to move and are rather shy towards humans, so there wouldn't be much time to observe them probably.
@@JohnCena8351 no. Dugong and three species of manatees are the only sirenians alive, and they are also far smaller. I saw a 2 meter long manatee alive and it looked big, but steller sea cow is 5 times larger. The only similliar arctic animals are probably walruses, northern elephant seals and monodont whales, but they are not just smaller, but also carnivores.
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. How the hell would a random observer be able to tell the diet of an animal they glimpsed for a cryptid sighting amount of seconds before disappearing? Monodont whales (Belugas and Narwhals) look incredibly similar to modern sea cows, especially from above, due to their stocky build and lack of notable backfins. They are a good deal smaller than Hydrodamalis sea cows, but also far larger than the surviving sea cows, which, together with the fact that guesstimating an animals size in the ocean is notoriously difficult, means that any "stellers sea cows sightings" are almost guaranteed to be one of them. ...Also the fact that Stellers Sea cows cannot really dive, meaning that if you *DID* find one it would probably the easiest animal on the planet to verify the sighting of, means not being entirely sure of a sighted animals identity as a stellers sea cow instantly rules out the possibility of the animal in question being a stellers sea cow. Not like we have any other records of ten meter animals shaped like a snake egg that swim like a beach ball.
What annoys me most about his video is the fact that he is not only using AI art But that the AI art depicts manatees when Stellar Sea Cow’s were more closely related to Dugongs. Silly little scientific pet peeve of mine 🤷♀️ Keep up the great work Beaver! Love watching ur vids ❤️🎮🦫
this reminds me of a bit from a yt channel called "The Skeleton Crew" where they talk about Therizinosaurus both in real life and in JWE2, and talk about the man who described it as a turtle with giant scythe hands and no shell, his reasoning being "Isn't nature wonderful!" "It's not likely the Steller's Sea Cow is alive but isn't nature wonderful!"
Fun little fact for you beaver, the way you tell a dugong and a manatee apart is that a dugong has a fluke tail like a whale while a manatee has a big circle as its tail also if you see a Sea cow looking thing in the ocean it is most likely a dugong or a very lost manatee because they like the rivers more
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 there you go 😃 my methods might be a little weirder than just remembering where you live but they are methods none the less lol 😂
I love how this was good fun. You and Xseidet are the best! But lowkey I really don’t like how Forrest makes millions off of extinct or endangered animals, and instead of conservation, he spends it on fancy trips and safaris that do nothing for the animals. And he takes credit from actual scientists and conservationists…
18:52 I thought he said he’d take a subscriber to search for it. But instead he said, “one lucky subscriber will be invited to join me, a random guy, to go now fishing.” Like what? That’s what a crazy person would say.
Funny how one important thing that they missed, was not reading Sharko et al. 2021. According to the study, Stellar’s Sea Cows were already going extinct prior to the arrival of Paleolithic humans. In fact, their genetic diversity was basically the same as last generation, along with the fact even with sea levels stabilizing around 5,000 years ago, their population were already plummeting. Their conclusion was without human influence, they would’ve been a dead class walking and would’ve gone extinct, so technically speaking, they probably wouldn’t have been around today. To show you how insane it is, back in the Pleistocene, they were found in places like Amchitka (Whitmore Jr. et al. 1977), Japan (Furusawa and Kohno 1994) and California (Jones 1967), hell even Baja California, Mexico (Anderson and Domning 2002). So the population seen at Commander Islands, were the last of a once widespread species. So it’s very unlikely they would’ve survived to modern day, even if the Europeans didn’t arrive on the islands.
He used to have a show called extinct or alive where he would help rediscover extinct species. So I actually hope and believe he may actually go looking for it (as that is kinda his thing)
@@chrischan9318 Listen to the end closely he said that the evidence doesn't disprove it isn't out there. They have that evidence that he showed but still left it open as I said in your post he left it open ended.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way Forrest presents his idea’s. He’s not telling us that they still exist, he’s saying they COULD and then presenting sightings. I don’t think he gives false information. He never makes a definitive statement of yea or no it’s out there- just that it could be.

@@dr.archaeopteryx5512bruh not Wikipedia😭 do u even know what Wikipedia is bruh
@@Drewsanimations
The Fernandina Island tortoise (Chelonoidis phantasticus) was described in 1907 based upon a specimen collected the previous year (Van Denburgh, 1907). However, it had never been seen since, partly because nobody had specifically looked for it. And even though there were occasional signs over the years that tortoises still inhabited the island, it was assessed as possibly extinct by the IUCN (Rhodin et al., 2017). Subsequently, an expedition was planned to search for the species on Fernandina Island to confirm its persistence. A television crew tagged along, but when an individual tortoise was found by ranger Jeffreys Málaga, the host of the television show, who had nothing to do with the planning, seized the opportunity and took public the credit for the find. The specific details of this highly unethical behaviour by Forrest Galante are given by (Wight, 2020). Although I have not read his new book, 'Still Alive: A Wild Life of Rediscovery' (2021), it appears that he now does credit ranger Jeffreys Málaga with having found the tortoise. But the audience for a popular television show is far more than for a non-fiction book, so that the damage done was not nearly undone and almost certainly will never be.
That isnt from Wiki its from an artical called The Damage Forrest Galante Has Done to Conservation Biology
I would link it but TH-cam hates links.
@@Drewsanimations Wikipedia is fairly reliable. And even if you don't trust it, it provide links to its sources so you can make an informed decision on the reliability of the given information.
He is just expanding his content which is awesome!
16:42 Ah yes, the "Ocean is so big we haven't explored it all, who knows what's down there" argument. Absence of evidence may not be evidence of absence, but lack of convincing proof makes arguments for extinct creatures continuing to live on very weak indeed.
anything could be down there apart from the steller's sea because it can't submerge
i love you gamingbeaver, my glorious king, oh where do i even begin
Why you gotta word it like that
13:12 IT WAS FLOATING ROCK🤯
I'm so f*cking fed up of Ai Computer Rendered Artificial Pictures (Ai C.R.A.P.), it's just seeping into everything. TH-cam is just covered in it.
next thing hes gonna say is that theres dogs on mars
At 14:48 I could've sworn Forrest said 'Ridicule of Nan'.
This is looking like a forrest roast video 😂
Every single frame that they paused on forrest he just looked more nuts each time
This needs to be a series 😂😂
Beaver:I can see why we not going to use this image.
Me:you are god damn right
it´s Dodo all over again, killed cause it was delicious XD

8:01 He also mentions that the man leading the expedition stated that the meat was more tasty than quorn beef which hadn’t been made until 1985 so there’s yet another error with Forrest’s claim surprise surprise
"Corned beef" it is a processed calf meat, it's been made since hundreds of years ago.
According to Google, it was already invented since over 100 Years. But I could see him using a AI generated Script
Love xseidet collabs
I love this series 😂😂 just bringing awareness to delusions etc
Best series and TH-camr out there!
That's the kinds of animal sighting that I always find super weird.
Like, how am I supposed to believe that random people saw this specific kind of sea cow and not just another kind of sea cow or manatee?? Why should I think that eye witnesses have such pristine zoology knowledge that they can differentiate between different kinds of sea mammals, especially since animals tend to move and are rather shy towards humans, so there wouldn't be much time to observe them probably.
manatees and dugongs are tropical, while sea cow is arctic species.
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. That's a fair point, but aren't there other similar animals out there?
@@JohnCena8351 no. Dugong and three species of manatees are the only sirenians alive, and they are also far smaller. I saw a 2 meter long manatee alive and it looked big, but steller sea cow is 5 times larger. The only similliar arctic animals are probably walruses, northern elephant seals and monodont whales, but they are not just smaller, but also carnivores.
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. How the hell would a random observer be able to tell the diet of an animal they glimpsed for a cryptid sighting amount of seconds before disappearing?
Monodont whales (Belugas and Narwhals) look incredibly similar to modern sea cows, especially from above, due to their stocky build and lack of notable backfins. They are a good deal smaller than Hydrodamalis sea cows, but also far larger than the surviving sea cows, which, together with the fact that guesstimating an animals size in the ocean is notoriously difficult, means that any "stellers sea cows sightings" are almost guaranteed to be one of them.
...Also the fact that Stellers Sea cows cannot really dive, meaning that if you *DID* find one it would probably the easiest animal on the planet to verify the sighting of, means not being entirely sure of a sighted animals identity as a stellers sea cow instantly rules out the possibility of the animal in question being a stellers sea cow. Not like we have any other records of ten meter animals shaped like a snake egg that swim like a beach ball.
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 good point. i agree with you.
Petition for beaver to make another planet zoo series but do challenges like an ape only zoo
I'm coming off of watching the 8-bitreddit and beaver is killing me
What annoys me most about his video is the fact that he is not only using AI art But that the AI art depicts manatees when Stellar Sea Cow’s were more closely related to Dugongs.
Silly little scientific pet peeve of mine 🤷♀️
Keep up the great work Beaver! Love watching ur vids ❤️🎮🦫
I love your videos beaver
I also thought you would put a toast on that animal to make a reference 😂
this reminds me of a bit from a yt channel called "The Skeleton Crew" where they talk about Therizinosaurus both in real life and in JWE2, and talk about the man who described it as a turtle with giant scythe hands and no shell, his reasoning being "Isn't nature wonderful!"
"It's not likely the Steller's Sea Cow is alive but isn't nature wonderful!"
Love the skelaton crew nice to see another fan
@@darthrevan5976 same
love the reaction content man
I actually am loving this comtent beavs! Would be fun if you had mates on more often and just chatted random stuff :)
Beaver and other person is making me laugh so hard I’m dying help me
I'm kinda getting to like this new kind of content, Beaver roasting/trolling/ debunking Forrest Gump
Beaver in his controversy era
I love how he basically said that the seacow was a floating can of corned beef waiting to be open 😂😂
Why does the tiny manatee look like a platypus
Fun little fact for you beaver, the way you tell a dugong and a manatee apart is that a dugong has a fluke tail like a whale while a manatee has a big circle as its tail also if you see a Sea cow looking thing in the ocean it is most likely a dugong or a very lost manatee because they like the rivers more
Another way to tell them apart is by checking if you're to the west or the east of South Sudan
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512 there you go 😃 my methods might be a little weirder than just remembering where you live but they are methods none the less lol 😂
I love how this was good fun. You and Xseidet are the best! But lowkey I really don’t like how Forrest makes millions off of extinct or endangered animals, and instead of conservation, he spends it on fancy trips and safaris that do nothing for the animals. And he takes credit from actual scientists and conservationists…
18:52 I thought he said he’d take a subscriber to search for it. But instead he said, “one lucky subscriber will be invited to join me, a random guy, to go now fishing.” Like what? That’s what a crazy person would say.
Love the videos beaver keep up the good work❤❤
Love this series James, nice video 👌
Funny how one important thing that they missed, was not reading Sharko et al. 2021. According to the study, Stellar’s Sea Cows were already going extinct prior to the arrival of Paleolithic humans. In fact, their genetic diversity was basically the same as last generation, along with the fact even with sea levels stabilizing around 5,000 years ago, their population were already plummeting. Their conclusion was without human influence, they would’ve been a dead class walking and would’ve gone extinct, so technically speaking, they probably wouldn’t have been around today.
To show you how insane it is, back in the Pleistocene, they were found in places like Amchitka (Whitmore Jr. et al. 1977), Japan (Furusawa and Kohno 1994) and California (Jones 1967), hell even Baja California, Mexico (Anderson and Domning 2002). So the population seen at Commander Islands, were the last of a once widespread species. So it’s very unlikely they would’ve survived to modern day, even if the Europeans didn’t arrive on the islands.
That's really f**king depressing, but I don't think that makes what humans did any better.
He used to have a show called extinct or alive where he would help rediscover extinct species. So I actually hope and believe he may actually go looking for it (as that is kinda his thing)
He never found any extinct animals.
He took the credit from other people if you do your research you will see this.
You should invite actual experts in the animals Forrest talks about in these videos to debunk him while you watch the video
I ate all the Stella cows. You can’t have them now.
I hope it's out there but I don't believe it's out there.
16:36 there’s a turtle in the back ground, turtle man the artist liking turtles coincidence maybe
He has done a video on Megladon so we cant trust him 🤣
I would post the link but TH-cam Delete's my comment if I do.
He already said the megalodon is extinct
@@chrischan9318 Listen to the end closely he said that the evidence doesn't disprove it isn't out there. They have that evidence that he showed but still left it open as I said in your post he left it open ended.
Regardless Science doesn't have an answer, we don't have an answer and this is a mystery that remains unsolved his exact words it is taking back his proof of a debunk.
@@AngelusGastonhe literally said multiple time that it was extinct in other shows and youtube videos.

The 15 year olds commenting:
THANK YOU FOR MY CHILDHOOD I MISS BEING SO YOUNG
Praise raptor jesus.... And toast
The ending reminds me of the movie Up. Where the villain’s motive was to to find a species of bird nobody believed was real, he then went mad and started killing people because he thought they would steal his glory.
Maybe try to collab with Forrest?
Because at the moment it feels like we’re starting to reach “let’s just bash on Forrest” status.
To be fair, Forrest deserves to be bashed
I feel like forest galante’s next video will be about why I still believe that the saber tooth cat exists
Beaver if you haven't already please don't use A.I. in your videos.
I'm loving these.
Nobody:
Forrest Galante: I caught a titanoboa in Florida!!!
Titanoboas don't exist anymore, but you can get darn close with a pre-caught pre-painted burmese python. Pioneers chased those babies for miles!
@@FelidaeEnjoyerTrue. There’s all kinds of snakes where I’m at.
P.S. I live in Florida lol
Forrest galantes next video would be like why i think the helicorprion is still alive💀
I hate A.I. it just means that people can lie more and get away with it I will never use A.I. and I strongly recommend that you don't either you as a Human being have so much creative abilities are you really gonna let A.I. take that away from you?
Great vid! keep it up, (random question when are you doing a second Creatures of Sonaria vid?
4:19
I love this new series beaver 😂
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way Forrest presents his idea’s. He’s not telling us that they still exist, he’s saying they COULD and then presenting sightings. I don’t think he gives false information. He never makes a definitive statement of yea or no it’s out there- just that it could be.
6:23 that’s as long as a race track
