How Ocean Currents Turned Whales into the Largest Animals that have Existed
Ocean currents are a fundamental part of how oceanic ecosystems function differently to land ones and understanding them is important to understand so may different marine animals that live throughout the ocean. This video explains some research that may have proven that a small change in ocean currents has completely changed large marine mammals.

The Ridiculously Extreme Lives of Deep Sea Whales

Sperm Whales Dive 1000s of meters below the surface in search of food, entering into a completely alien enviroment, such a strange place for a mammal of all creatures to be and it isn't just sperm whales.

    Very diverse group. Interesting that cheek and chin tusk pair, as specialist teeth, don't really happen in primates. I'm thinking as for extinction, a number of possibilities, first, that despite diverse types, numbers may not have been so high in first place, and that mammoths simply outpopulated other species. Another is that indeed mammoths using their longer tusks, like the carnivorous baby stealing toucan bird using its massive beak as a longer distance weapon, can even fend off birds of prey like eagles. Comparatively speaking, the Yucatan macaw bird with a smaller beak but similar body size, is just less fierce and easier predated. Though macaw beak is plenty strong to crack nuts. Side note, the long Toucan beak apparently also outcompetes other birds in thermoregulation. ruclips.net/video/iYLSiT-Nefs/видео.html

    There might have been some sort of cosmic or nuclear irradiation which caused marsupialism. Some sort of bizarre hybridisation between the mammalian and the avian. Kangaroos and wallabies were possibly deer and / or rabbits but they have avian-like paws. The thylacine was canine but non-placental. the platypus is a cross between duck and beaver.

    Hello, you are my favorite RUclips channel, big fan. My partner and I find your voice extremely soothing, and we often fall asleep to your videos and they autoplay until we wake up. This is likely very lucrative for you, as sleeping viewers are the most profitable lol. If you see an extremely high view count from Charlotte, North Carolina, that's probably 100% me. idk if you saw this RUclips exploit. ruclips.net/video/8iOjeb5DTZI/видео.htmlsi=54KmeOgG4TO3aBDF RUclips has an auto-playlist of all your videos, but sometimes the order is weird. I was wondering if you could make more playlists, maybe one of all the videos, maybe some like mammal, whale, fish evolution respectively. Also, to make more money you could consider longer form videos, and not necessarily new content (although I'd love that as well), but instead of playlists maybe stitching a bunch of already made, related videos together. Thanks for all your hard work.

    One thing worth noting is the possibility of seasonal migrations. It is entirely within the realm of the possible, maybe even the likely, that herbivorous migrated north during the summer months, when the environment would experience rapid floral growth, and then migrate south again for the summer. Predators would naturally follow them. There are some reasons to believe that ornithischia were mostly ectothermic ('Fossil biomolecules reveal an avian metabolism in the ancestral dinosaur', Jasmina Wiemann et al; amongst others), and it appears that although sauropods were endotherms, they were entirely restricted to warmer climates. For that matter, theropod metabolisms were widely variable, with for instance Tyrannosaurus rex appearing to have a lower body temperature than the Jurassic Allosaurus (the abovementioned study). While the milder climate of the late cretaceous would certainly help with penetrating the arctic region, I believe that a very good case can be made for the probability of migratory, rather than being local all year round, a behaviour that is, after all, rather common today, too, and with the modern descendants of dinosaurs being particularly famous for it at that.

    • @wallace2286
      @wallace2286 3 дня назад

      Except for one problem they didn’t migrate we know this because we found nests and very young individuals in the far north and their bone histology reveals a slow down of growth during the winter heavily implying they didn’t migrate. Furthermore I know the study you are referring to and I have several problems, first virtually all polar and/or cold environments that we have evidence for all packed with Ornithischians with with more or less zero exceptions, moreover ornithischian histology suggests a very high active metabolism with rapid growth, with animals like maiasaura reaching sexual maturity at the age of four, not to mention that we know at least some of them possess feathered coats.

    • @rng8899
      @rng8899 2 дня назад

      @@wallace2286 That's interesting. Do you have the name of these studies (the analysis of bones and nests of polar dinosaurs)? Some hadrosaurs are amongst the few ornithischia where bone growth patterns suggests an endothermic metabolism, so Maiasaurus pushing the limits isn't that shocking. Although I emphasise that bone growth patterns are hardly everything (the study in question also suggests that pterosaurs were ectotherms, and I'm, uh, sceptical about that). And we have only found evidence of scales in hadrosaurs. Ceratopsians as well, with Psittacosaurus' actually delivering an almost full skin impression that is... scales with a single section of long filaments on the tail that one would be very hard pressed to argue were feathers capable of retaining warmth. 'Feathers', and I'm using this term exceptionally loosely, were very, very far from the norm in Ornithischians.

    I was born with a heart condition that were holes in my ventricles which caused deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood to mix. I was a very week baby. My mom said I cried like a cat or baby bird and I would just sleep all the time and couldn’t eat. I had it repaired when I was 10 months old and crawled for the first time then walked within 4 days of my surgery. Was running before I left the hospital.
