After Man Part 2

A predecessor to Future is Wild, taken from the book After Man by Dougal Dixon. Apparently patched together with 'new' footage as well as clips from various other documentaries, this Japanese show includes footage of stop-motion/puppet creatures as well as of Dixon himself.

[@Dylan-Hooton]

This is the coolest Japanese show I've ever seen. Anyway, I wished that all species shown in this show were all real and live alongside our animals like elephants, bears, and all animals we have here on Earth in real life. :)

The Desert Leaper is one of my favorites because they look so peaceful

Sweet father mercy

[@squizz222]

Lol this is the coolest Japanese show I've ever seen.

[@SailorBarsoom]

I'd really like to thank you for uploading this., I had read somewhere that creatures were being built for a TV thing, but hadn't heard or read another thing after that. This was in, I think, the late Eighties? But it DOES exist, and here it is. If I knew Japanese I'd offer to subtitle it for you.

[@Gunganfan]

Are subtitles too much to ask for?

[@Nenerii]

Robert Havenner lol reply to a 10 year comment

[@dmanzawsome]

I read this comment 10 years ago and learned Japanese instead so its np for me to watch now

[@goombasaurusrex]

id like to know what are they saying :(

[@Tarbtano]

@n987
the Future Pred was actually based of the Night Stalker

[@DarkZholt]

Sweet!!
The NightStalker 8D

[@krekcabnow2910]

Could someone please make subtitles for this? I would appreciate so much

[@sooplooshmacschnibble2933]

You could also just get the book for free at PDF coffee like I did.

[@Tarbtano]

@n987
possibly, but some of 'After Man's' zoological ideas are fairly implausible. The the whole idea of the Carnivora family dieing out/being out competed is not very logical. Carnivorous rodents is even worse. All times in prehistory rodents show the trend of increased size resulting in a herbivorous diet

[@jameswolf4894]

It's happened before though. Creodonts were replaced by carnivora and so on another group of carnivorous mammals might take their place.

[@sporeham1674]

I don't know where this idea of rodents being herbivores came from. I own two pet rats, and both are 100% capable of consuming meat without getting ill.

[@Tarbtano]

@@sporeham1674 Rats aren't indicative of all rodents. They can function find eating meat, but rodent adaptations such as their hip design, plantigrade feet, and constantly growing incisors and grinding molars aren't suitable as a predator. It work as a small predator or scavenger, but when you make that animal very big those traits are far more suitable for a herbivore.
This is why all the omnivorous or carnivorous rodents are very small, but all of the largest rodents like the capybara are almost exclusively herbivores.

[@Tarbtano]

@@jameswolf4894 Creodonts were far less specialized to being pursuit predators than Carnivorans were and died out from other factors as well as competition. Basically put, Carnivorans are too diverse and too adept at being predators for anything to superseded them. Carnivorans are too diverse to realistically totally die out. If somehow, all cats died out (extremely implausible as that is as even if the pantherines died out the felines would replace them as the puma did), the civits, weasels, canines, and others are far more suited to replace them than a non-carnivoran.

[@Kiccho90]

And the new dinosaurs ?

[@terridavis8207]

Are coming soon in 2024

[@spiderlime]

[@sagitta98]

They are both Apex predators decended from bats

@@ueghghghb2819 maybe the future predator is a descendant of the night stalker

I’m pretty sure there’s a theory that it’s based of the night stalker.
