I want thylacoleo now so bad
MAMMOTHS🦣🦣🦣
Please make a video about quetzalcoatlus.
Make a video about the Dodo
Hi my name is Thomas Love. Can you talk about Tasmanian tiger please ?
Loving the addition of the new series. Great personalities and really broaden the channel in a wonderful way. Thank you staff!
Thanks Benjamin! This is what we love to hear.
Now I want to see a video about Smilodon.
soon!
@@animalogic suspenseful!
Extinct animals are just cooler versions of what we have today.
And any cool ones that did survive we keep killing off.
Extinct animals are the DLC of the modern animal kingdom.
This creature is one of my absolute favorites! Could you do an episode on the ceratopsians?
Man...Thyla was Scary with Those Fangs...
Id Love to see
The Monster-Sized Monitor Lizard
Megalania,
In a future Episode !
Megalanias are cool.
I NEED you to tell me more about the carnivorous armadillo
Saaame. I was thinking it might have occupied a niche somewhere between a badger's and a bear's. Would love to know more!
4:06 While Machairodont Felids like Smilodon, Dinofelis, and Homotherium showed bare saberteeth, Barburofelids did position their sabers against their lower cheeks, just like Thylacosmilus.
2:01 Macrauchenia is actually a meridiungulate, closer to Toxodon than to the llama. Otherwise, great vid! There's even a hypothesis that Thylie was an anteater-type animal, what are your thoughts on that? Can't wait to see what's next!
Also peep the Thylacosmilus resin model 👀 Must've cost a pretty penny.
@@indyreno2933 *facepalm* my bad. I thought notoungulate was the order that all those South American ungulates belonged to. Thanks for correcting me.
@Mullerornis um, when giving these "fun facts," why don't your type give any sources for said information? 🤔 I've always wondered that, or if maybe you just assumed that everyone would believe you just because you said it with confidence. 🤨
Do you mean Thylacosmilus used those sabers to tear into ant nests, maybe also termite mounds? Seems to me claws would have been better suited for that.
These animals were close relatives of horses, rhinos and tapirs.
@@swaggasaurus_rex That Indy Reno spews outdated taxonomy all the time. Whatever the ignoramus said may be bs.
People underestimate marsupials. Just cuz they have slow metabolisms doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of impressive explosive activity. One time I saw a possum blast out from under my house running faster than a rabbit. The Possum ran down a garbage truck going full speed and jumped 4 feet off the ground and landed in the back of the truck and started feasting it was crazy
Aw Yeah! My boy is getting some much needed attention!
I know right.
When I was a teenager, I was writing a light novel featuring humanized forms of most ice age animals: from smilodons, mammoths, and short-faced bears, to giant armadillos and sloths. The story is about how the empire of the smilodons, called Gaolyrs in the story, conquered the land that would correspond to South America, and the kingdoms and tribes from there, the most important being the kingdom of the Toxonites, which would correspond to the mixotoxidons. The Gaolyr empire brought within their forces other "peoples", like the Lupians (wolves) and Morlians (mammoths).
I might continue with a trilogy at some point.
I love the Thylacosmilus! One of the more obscure predators that I was already aware of!
they are a pain in ark
That Thumbnail picture looks so real! Hats off to the paleoartist.
I can’t get enough of the new series “Paleologic” I love historical animals of every kind.
Thank you, Elicia!
LMAO the cheesing trex at 1:22 😂
This sabretooth has always seemed so weird to me because of the sheaths for his sabers. Smilodon doesn't have those sheaths in its lower jaw, so I couldn't really picture how Thylacosmilus would be able to get those sabers into any prey items because I kept seeing those sheaths getting in the way.
Why would the sheaths get in the way?
They could open their jaws extraordinarily wide, even wider than smilodon. They probably opened wide and stabbed down with strong neck muscles
Scavenging Gut-Slurper is an OP Dungeons & Dragons monster.
It's a perfect name, be it for a monster, a band or as a username
@@High-LordHarza It really is, and you can change it just a bit to make it even funnier depending on what you choose
Paleologic is fantastic! I'm fascinated by Titanoboa, hope you'll be covering that sometime down the line!🐍
We just did! th-cam.com/video/J2xPwXxXjaY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Animalogic
Funny enough, as a kid I found out about Thylacosmilus before the more famous Smilodon. So I have some nostalgia for it! Cool video!
2:51
I'm gonna be honest, I thought the animal was taking a piss with how that blade of grass moved 😂😂😂😂
Paleologic!!! Love it!
Please do one on ambulocetus!!!
P. s. I love how y’all are using miniatures in these videos! Amazing!
Danielle Dufault's illustrations are like icing on the cake for Animalogic's videos.
Good work team.
It's gonna be so cool if you guys do a section for the "First Ever Predator", the Animalocaris
Anomalocaris. But many predators preceded it.
What a badass marsupial! Too bad we missed it by a few million years lol
Excellent work on Thylacosmilus atrox (Marsupial Sabertooth cat) my friend! I read about it in my book called: National Geographic book of Prehistoric Mammals by Alan Turner, Illustrations by Marcio Antón and introduction by Richard L. Cifelli. Truly a one of a kind book too. And also one of the most deadliest marsupial predators in Prehistory.
i remember one palaeoartist suggested a diet similar to a sloth bear , ripping open termite mounds and sooking up the insects. its definitely an interesting hypothesis, given the giant termite mounds in the cerrado today
2:04 -There might have been giant llamas, but that is a recreation of Macraurchenia to the right, wich was not related to llamas.
2:26 -The 'Great American Interchange' began 2.5 mya.
4:13 -We don't know if sabertoothed cats had displayed canines or had them in concealed by lips.
5:26 - Smilodon kind of famously had a relatively weak bite, compared to pantherines. Evidence suggests it used it's neck mucles to sink it's massive canines into the neck of it's pray.
Love the drawings from Danielle
Also some scientists think that sabertooth in cats is a gene that pops in cycles within felines.
Sometimes house cats get very long front fangs and we make memes of vampire kitty with them lolz.
Also I believe the clouded leopards are on the evolutionary path to become the next sabertooth cats
I love the overcooked music at the beginning
I would like to learn more of the prehistoric animals of Australia cause there are just so many that I want to learn of my local prehistoric animals of this country
The swoosh noise scared the 💩 out of me
Remember the maned wolf? Well it's closed relative is dead, and I would like to learn more about that animal
I love learning, then Wondrium.
They're the most equiped animal ever
What if their tooth is entirely not for eating or hunting as it mentions that the teeth is fragile and have weak jaw power. What if it for display? Some of the largest canine nowdays is belong to herbivore animals such as hippopotamus and gelada baboon.
I would love to see video on other south american oddities like terror birds, toxodonts, ground sloths, and titanoboa
I was hoping for a full-on documentary or animated film that takes place in Cenozoic South Amarica.
th-cam.com/video/J2xPwXxXjaY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Animalogic Check out Titanoboa!
I hope that the informal name "pouched gut-sucker" sticks, and that future documentaries reconstruct them vocalising more like Tasmanian devils rather than big cats.
I really dig all the different Animalogic series!! 🫶
Fantastic video! I also would like to point out how particularly awesome and epic the music is in this episode! The music is _always_ great on this channel, but there's something extra special about today's that caught my ear a few times- I even had to rewind to catch what had been said once because I had been listening to the music and didn't notice the narration pick back up again! That's my fault, though- the background music is appropriately subdued when the host speaks and only picks up between narrative points. To whoever chose and edited the music: very well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
It really does just blow my mind that we are basically living in the "last age" of the marsupials. Not that they're all going to die out anytime soon (hopefully). But I mean like, in a geological sense. This entire different category of mammals that used to be as diverse and omnipresent as the placental mammals just got widdled away and outcompeted a tiny bit at a time until only a single species of possum and the denizens of australia and surrounding islands remained. Like we as a species came in to see a snapshot of the tail end of a great biological dynasty.
I saw an Art post from HodariNundu that suggested a Sloth Bear-like lifestyle and I honestly Adore this idea! It makes this already bizarre animal even more bizarre! And considering how large Sloth bears get, it's not impossible that a Thylacosmilus could sustain itself in this fashion.
It would be interesting to explore what's known regarding the jaw articulation. It is difficult to picture the animal getting anything past those incisors without a considerable gape, hinted at in footage of the thylacine. The soft organ scavenger hypothesis is an attractive one.
I love these, keep up the good work! I would like to hear more about prehistoric birds!
Smilodon didn’t bite bones, their Sabre teeth were too fragile so they used them to slice instead
This was super interesting and well presented, thank you
I've never heard of these animals before, how fascinating!
Its markings look like The Thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus: dog-headed pouched-dog). Better known as the now extinct Tasmanian Tiger.
Omg this is the best new series! I love it
The intro music bought back the memories of my childhood and it definitely helped with the prehistoric vibe
That is so crazy! Thanks a bunch.
Are the saber-toothed cat marsupials the ones that are also known as marsupial lion? Or was that a separate species that was also a cat-like marsupial?
Separate species. Unlike the sabertooth marsupial, the marsupial lion had rodent like incisors (front teeth) similar to a rat, a rabbit, or a kangaroo in which gave them the advantage for a powerful bite that can break bone and chop flesh easily.
@@elmono6299 thank you, I wasn't sure cuz I was like there really were two separate genus or species of marsupial cat like things? LOL I appreciate the info :-)
To me, the main question is: "Why did they have the lower jaw extension to match the upper sabre teeth?".
I just love the cast of women that you have. Its very empowering in a way to me. I love to see it. Keep dishing out these great quality videos. Im loving it.
Fascinating! So much we don't know, and get to learn!
I suggested Hummingbirds on a previous episode and a lot of people agreed! I'm surprised Animalogic hasn't done an episode on them yet; really hope you do! If you want to see it too you can suggest it too in the comments :)
Smilodon and its relatives had weak jaws too, and did not bite into bone.
Thank you!!
2:00 pictured on the right is a Macrauchenia, a species of litopern nowhere even remotely related to llamas & camelids. Meridiungulates were there own very unique group of convergently evolved South American ungulates.
Does she mean 15 centimeters (6 inches) long for the section extended outside of the skull? Counting the saber length inside the skull it looks about twice as long as that. Even the skull she holds looks like it has a saber longer than 6 inches.
She must have made the mistake about Macrauchenia being a prehistoric llama relative because its original discoverers thought it actually was a type of llama or early camelid.
True. It was actually in a separate, not closely related order known as the Litopterna. Convergent evolution.
Amazing and informative video please continue with Pelologic!
Thanks Jim! So glad you're enjoying the series.
I remember this creature from jurassic Park builder
Love it! What a weird creature!
Those teeth seem like they'd be more of a hindrance then a help.
Can we do a crossover with second nature and palaeontology episode about the amount of animals that have evolved sabre teeth? I mean there have been so many random animals over pre history that have independently evolved this feature
Did I hear "smiley dogs" a couple of times? I sure did!
Mam in video at the duration of 2.03 you said Lama's are twice the size of modern day relative but at someone's video I learnt that the prescribed animal having neck like camel and trunk like elephant is actually one of closest relative to Rhinos or Horses.
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up as a support
Please do a video on that Carnivorous Armadillo that you were talking about in this video. Would be really interesting
any Cenozoic South American animal would make a good video.
Estaban en Argentina hace 9 - 3 millones de años, que piooolaaa
The whole sheath arrangement seems super awkward though. It only works if your teeth are perfectly aligned. Any animals with an under or overbite would do themselves some serious damage.
so informative! that was awesome
show starts near 1:47
This is so cool!!
Gut sluper.
Best description ever.
The thylacine or the Tasmanian tiger
Those fighting Tasmanian Devils were so adorable
Ark fans know how dangerous these are
ur so slay keep making these gorj xx
Another episode I would like to see. Let's talk about Astrapotheria.
Now we have a land animal, plant, bird *and* fossil segment
You have so much history on this animals sometimes I wonder if you taking us for a ride 😂😂😂😂 …just kidding…thanks for the content
Oh Hi i liked your Narration! Very se.. and also very informative. Thank you!
Future me, will still love the past. Great video series
You guys should definitely cover Spinosaurus and its insanely long history of depictions and discoveries 😁
The stripes, the thick tail, the shortish lower back legs, being marsupial, even the name resembles Thylacine.
Are we sure about the "canine pouches"? In time they would become very dirty and filled with debris that would cause inflammation and possibly infections.
alright well these guys dont need light sabers unlike Kangaroos
This video was pretty good
Omg thylacosmilus now all we need to do is get Safari Ltd to make a figure of this, I had to custom make my own
Excellent video! I have been considering doing a video about Thylacosmilus on my channel, I recently did one that covers why the Dinosaurs didn't take over again after the Kpg extinction event and I briefly mentioned the Terror Birds in that video. 🙂
Love your shirt! Where did you get it?
I really like your videos, Think you could do one on the Mosasaurus?
Carnivorous Armadillo please.
Talk about the other Sabertooths other than smilodon and this one . This was very interesting 🤔 👌 🙂 👀 👍
Hi Animaligic! I would love if you did an episode on Proailurus!!
Amazing!, can you do a video on Dinocrocuta gigantea please!
Just don't let it bite your toes
