the fact the abyssal biota on Kaimere is almost entirely made of native fauna and not specific harvests means that is a literal deep dive into what may be lurking there since the 1st Dynasty, Trilobites are just the tip of that iceberg.
It's sad that the trilobites declined during the end-Ordivician extinction and went extinct during the Great Dying because I feel like they could have still made it to the present day if it was any other extinction. But, the end-Ordivician and the Great Dying weren't your average mass extinctions...
Love me another Trilobite episode! It's always so surreal to me that these kinds of animals were so pervasive in the past and even look quite a lot like some animals still found today, but have been completely eradicated from Earth's ecosystems for hundreds of millions of years. Looking forward to March being a load of croc!
I love this dive into one of Kaimere's most mysterious habitats! The Wakakraut being a cartilagenous fish really gave me chimaera vibes, and its hunting method is so incredible in it's simplicity. And the harpids are great in their own right! The fact that the portal only seems to care above coastal/shallow/terrestial habitats, and that the abyss is kind of left to its own devices, makes it even more intriguing than the already poorly understood abyss of Earth. What else could live down there? Is it possible Kaimeran life, left more isolated from Earth harvests, could evolve in unexpected ways? Looking forward to the pseudosuchian series too! (come on planiocraniids...)
OOOo new video!! I just caught up and got back into watching Kaimere things again! It’s really interesting to finally see what the deep ocean ecosystem looks like!! The idea of their deep ocean being so alien to our own in comparison is fascinating and I can’t wait to see more about it!!
Absolutely! I hope to really get a chance to explore the abyss down the road but this was still a great opportunity to lay the groundwork of the biomes down there.
Nice to know Kimere has deep sea water bugs only seen by Kraken and Cachalot. I’m really looking forward to seeing more on the crocodilians as we’ve seen snip bits of them throughout other videos but never a fully dedicated video.
And we finally dive very deep in Kaimere's oceans! I sure hope there would be more exploration of this wonderful planet. It's much more competitive than any other. And March will have an entire series on my favorite reptiles : Crocodilians! CrocMarch is soooooo hype! Although, I now seriously wonder about the monsters of the abyss, apart from which we know about.... And they're definitely Terrifying with a capital T. Good luck our dear Assembly, and Kudos to them for using unmanned submersible devices, for there be very large monsters. They better stay away from manned devices on the abyss, as my guts tells me it is a very dangerous place.
Now I want to sponsor an episode on the Beast-Falls of Kaimere's abyss. Whales, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs, giant sharks, all of those mountains of meat would be literal gifts from above to anything that lived down there. If the abyssal regions of the Khalin Sea are as biodiverse and productive as you said, there could easily be at least twice the number of scavengers in those waters as there are in our own oceans.
I’m so very glad I found this channel!! 🎉 this is awesome!! 👏 I’ve watched a couple episodes and I’m loving it. Keep up the great work! This history evolution stuff with magic mixed in is so engaging. A setting like this is literally what I’ve been thinking about in my head for a so long time. I
As the sequel/second episode to the Trilobites of Kaimere mini-series, as an introduction to Kaimere's abyss, and as the last episode of this month, as always, it's was very good ! 1) I was very good to display that a clade of animals can be low in number species and diversity but despite that being dominant over a setting, thriving and successfull, even after millions of years of evolution. Which is actually soething we already have in our Earth, with plenty of creatures in marine or semi-aquatic habitats which have barely changed since the end of the Mesozoic see even longer. (Horseshoe Crabs, Cealacanth, and others). Abyss are maybe still a dynamic ecosystem, evolution is however most of the time slower here than in surface. 2) As the abyss are already a very apart world, see planet in itself, compared to our land home, with tons of extremely weird and crazy shaped creatures swimming or floating within water in the complete dark (and often bioluminescent), I understand why people are fascinated by these places. Because it much like if it was space itself with aliens life floating in the interstellar void.... (hence why James Cameron is a huge fan of this setting and use it as prime inspiration for Avatar movies). As such, a fucking tons of as see even more weirdo critters must lurk within Kaimere great depths as well, as this episode is just scratching the iceberg's surface !
Can't believe some wanted to sponsor a deep sea episode cuz I don't think it's something people really want. Also I can't wait for croc month next week.
Oh the abyss has gotten a lot of interest from the comments, just no sponsor yet. Won't lie, I'm hoping this episode inspires some greater interest but we'll see!
another well done episode, always great about the mircofauna of kaimere especially from the abyss, also can't wait crocodile month also I was born in march
Some aquatic snail larvae and other invertebrates are able to remain in there drifting planktonic stage for months until they drift to a suitable habitat. It’s not too far to think several species of trilobite could also have these traits.
I got home from work and now had the chance to watch this video. I must say while perhaps Harpids have not diversified as much as Proetids, though admittedly I am not entirely sure why. I still think they stand alongside the Proetids as the other half of this great dynasty while not as widespread they still play an important role in the wide world of Kaimere especially where the light don't shine and my brother is happy at the opportunity to be able to sponsor this video. I know this is probably a later comment then normally but I wish to say you have really struck it out of the park with this video Keenan two questions if I may though don't feel like you have to answer them if you don't want to. One do you have any future plans for invertebrates and two for this month of crocs do you intend to focus only on the group that includes the living(true) crocodilians or will be a more general coverage of the group and how they interacted with numerous other groups that share their niche in ways that our world never saw at like Temnospondyls and the native Carbosuchians
5:00 Somewhat unrelated but still interesting: There are fossils of various rugose corals, including Amplexus and Hamarophyllum, as well as ostracods, sponges and Andegavia trilobites known from hydrothermal & cold seep sites in the Anti-atlas mountains of Morocco.
Some facts about crocodilians: other then their snouts, there are other ways of differentiating between crocodilids and alligatorids. Alligatorids have smoother scutes and more rotund bodies than crocodilids while crocodilids have their legs positioned closer to each other hence how they can gallop more so than alligatorids. Crocodilids are generally more macro-predatory than alligatorids and react more aggressively towards certain threats than alligatorids of the same size would. th-cam.com/video/DwbgW3UO_Qw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dkK54ALw0mO2TIg4 th-cam.com/video/l_MnRDPtMKs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-gvDxozg24N0R-oj Some more facts: jaguars aren’t true reptile specialists as they eat more mammals overall. Their durophagy seems to have initially evolved to tackle xenarthrans which made it easier for them to transition to killing reptiles. Caiman eaters interact with alligatorids differently than crocodilids and are powerful because their kind in general are. Caiman are different than other crocodilians.

So many lineages barely made it and some many didnt, I mean honestly we are lucky our ancestors did.
They may have gone extinct, but they will live on forever in our hearts.
To be fair while yes the End Ordovician did impact them it was the end Devonian that really sealed their fate
I read not you avenge mass extinction like yogi bear for some reason.
also trilobites would be awesome like sheild Lobsters
Deep ocean mentioned rahhhhhh!
loving that deep sea footage inspired thumbnail!
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to put together

Really good episode. The deep sea is a really fascinating place and glad to see an episode on these rarely spoken about animals Trilobites
I'd love to see more of Kaimere's abyss. Also the beetle trilobite is a nice detail
Certainly would as well! A whole lot to say about it
Trilobites continue to be the coolest creatures on Kaimere! Love these funny little bugs.
Heck yeah!

I love the music you chose for this episode, really fits the deep wandering of these primordial critters. Also great seeing more trilobite content!

Love how much your leaning into the seas the detail is insane wounder if there are many island ecosystems though
And I mean relitevly small islands nothing insane just isolated little worlds
I'm still holding out hope some deep sea trilobites survived and we just havent discovered them yet. There is still a lot of the deep sea unexplored

Excellent Thumbnail art and episode as always
Thank you!

It’s not too far to think several species of trilobite could also have these traits.
Giant isopods would totally vibe with them, either that or be mortal enemies
Sadly Giants Isopods are very deep sea creatures, so never were taken on Kaimere.
There can, however, be analog arthropods looking like them.
They would probably competitively exclude them or at least prevent them from reaching the same level of diversity
13:29 FINALLY!!!
Are those hagfish feeding on the plesiosaur carcass?
Yup!

TRILOBITE EPISODE RAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
HECK YEAH!!
MY BABIES!!!! Long have I wondered if the trilobois made it to Kaimere, and now I have my answer!
Yes indeed! I have another trilobite episode from back in November I believe you may want to check out!
I've found the other episode and when I say that I started making pug noises that is not hyperbole.
Question. Do the giant Trilobites of the deep seas have some convergence with Earth's giant marine isopods?
Yes, there's a lot of similarities
What are the Cenozoic equivalent to trilobites and ammonites (up to modern day if such animals exist)
Have there ever been any recorded loud underwater sounds on Kaimere? Like the Bloop or Julia or the Slowdown?
Probably
Did Orthocones(Orthocerids) and Jawless Fishes exist on Kaimere?
Croc month! Croc month! Croc month! Croc month!
YAY TRILOBITES!

Crocodilians yes. Nonearth organisms is a tough one but if a sponsor came forward I'd be open to it.
@@TalesofKaimere so non-earth organisms do exist on Kaimere... how does that work?
@@aeonmatter6976 There were a few harvests on other planets, but most couldn't survive in either the atmosphere, temperature, or gravity.
@@TalesofKaimere "Most", so you mean there are still surviving alien species?
What other ancient lineages might lurk in the abyss?
Have a lot of ideas but a lot waiting to have time to finalize. One if not two tetrapod descendants from the First Dynasty for example

Are the eel guys on the Plesiosaur carcass giant abyssal conodonts O.O
Keenan said in another comment it is hagfish.
I won't rule out conodonts just yet but sorry those are hagfish
trilobites!
Heck yeah!

Died
