Three more:
1. Tortoises, just tortoises. there's a definitive trend of these animals reaching tremendous sizes whenever they are given the chance. And this isn't just island gigantism; there are plenty of huge tortoises from continental environments. Hesperotestudo from Pleistocene North America, and Megalochelys from Pleistocene South Asia, are some of the most well known.
2. Madagascar had a whole bunch of giant animals, before humans reached the island. Archaeoindris was the largest lemur, and had a size, niche, and body morphology similar to a modern mountain gorilla. There were also very large "koala lemurs" that look like the Alf alien, and a fossa species double the size of the surviving member of the group. Madagascar is also the home of the largest frog fossils, the beezlebufo from the Cretaceous.
3. Nobody ever mentions that North America once had a beaver species that was the size of a small car. I get that smilodon, glyptodonts, megatherium and mastodons overshadow the beaver, but I still find the idea of a beaver the size of a car to be amazing.

Quite sobering that, back in the day, a Nothosaurus very likely swam through this very spot I'm sat in right now in the UK watching this vid....

This video gave me that rare feeling of wonder. Prehistoric creatures remind us that our planet has lived many different lives
@dysonmellody9:00 its pronounced 'lee-soh-vee-cee-ah'
@jejak.x3I don't normally like nor comment on youtube videos, but I did both for this one
@Kbm.6464:30 what about giant ground sloth? Shouldnโt it be the largest bipedal non dinosaur?
@wrestlinganddogsSome of these ancient critters I have heard of but a great Dylan. I have not and this was very informative. I'll be very much looking forward to part 2 please and thanks!
@lorispicer4598Videos like this are so important to spreading awareness on otherwise obscure species
Like this genuinely opened my eyes to the existence of other obscure species
It's crazy to think that prehistoric creatures lived on the same planet we call home today. What an incredible journey through time
@thode-e9jIf I remember correctly the Brontotheriidae made a minor appearance in the first Ice Age movie when Manny (the wooly mammoth) meets/saves Sid (the ground sloth, a smaller version) from them). I forgot the names of those two brontotheriums but they did made a small appearance in the film
@christophermejia-molina7196how are brontotheres obscure when they are represented by gay icons Carl and Frank from the ice age films?
@janthecoo4964That's not how I thought Lesotho was pronounced, but that's more on my country's education system not teaching us anything about other countries than anything else
@AerCloudimagine we have all these large animals exist right now?๐ค
@BonesLegends13:08 Hey, what about the marsupials? Diprotodon - a giant Wombat.
@sarkastodon30thg grandest of all wallruss
@BigMakBattleBlogNothosaurus mention! Automatic Thumbs-Up from me.
Time to spend the rest of the night learning more about Pontolis and Mawsonia.
I have ARK to thank for my dinosaur knowledge ๐ and of course you! Cheers, I love your channel
@TattooedPinkDamn, my paleo-lore is not kingly :(
@lumptydumpty6992I think the beast of Lesotho is from Lesotho
@apocalyptosoldier5527Iโll only be able to think of Nothosaurs as cute seal like swim pals because of Nigel Marvinโs Chased By Sea Monstersโฆ
@DanielleWillis-d1yif you ever do make a part 2, I must suggest that you cover the Spiked Tooth Salmon, Oncorhynchus rastrosus (formally called the sabertoothed Salmon) was an ancient Miocene monster salmon, we don't know much, we don't even know if this Salmon had the infamous single spawn run of modern day pacific salmon as it existed in a time period where we aren't sure if that trait had evolved yet, but we do know that they grew to enormus sizes.
@themanformerlyknownascomme777I know thru went giants. But Josephoartigasia deserves mention because: rodent
@bright9closely related to horses ... has a horn ... we found the unicorn
@reidmock2165As for the giant walrus, having big teeth doesn't mean it ate large prey. Hippos and gorillas have huge teeth and don't even eat meat.
@binxbollingWait a minute. Rhinos are related to horses. So saying an animal is more related to horses than rhinos is no big deal because it's related to both.
@binxbolling18:13 yeah parks & recreation reference
@GeneralRedPanda94What are KPH ? Kilometers per hour ? Km/H you mean
@pajurrArenโt walrus already carnivores anyways
@ricofresh22The way this video presents prehistoric creatures is both engaging and easy to understand
@daddeziocatelyn-n6lWatching this made me imagine how wild life was during the age of prehistoric creatures
@rajendrannraj7639You misspelled unidentified when speaking about the jaw bone of the large amphibian.
@IVtecDOHC07Iโm blown away by how much detail we now know about prehistoric creatures, incredible work
@pankowskizaara16:55 my favorite fact about walruses is that the males have a bone in their dong cas it's like 1/3 the length of their body!
@morganfreeaimthebountyhunt7682@21:28 interesting to use the buddha's image as our "beautiful reflection" cause according to Buddhism our true nature is buddha. So an almost throw away edit explained the core tenant of my religion sans the predator. The predator is the three poisons: greed/attachment, hatred/aversion, delusion/ignorance. om mani padme hum
@roxyamusedThanks for calling me King like gng
@lvan_20114:14 guys, that's us, too
@bedelian2:31
oh my gosh it's del lago
Back in the 1970s, Starstreak comic had a story on a Nothosaur named "Big Hungry"!
The premise was that humans were time-travelling back to that era to fish the oceans and one rogue Nothosaur was attacking their ships.
The more I learn about prehistoric creatures, the more amazed I am by ancient life on Earth
