I find it kinda funny that animals that came before dinosaurs can be referred to as dinosaur mimics. Convergent evolution is probably the most interesting thing about life on this planet. The same body plan and lifestyle has cropped up so many times that I feel like everything is something else's mimic in some way.

It was maybe an island hopper, using the ressources of islands that wouldn't support a population of them full time. So it used it's aquatic adaptions to get to a a new island once the ressources of the one they were on were diminishing. Like polar bears who can swim long distances to get from one ice float to another.

Yeah I was reminded of polar bears while listening to this as well. Makes sense given the environment it was apparently living in and explains the sort of "jack of all trades but master of none" set of features it has.

I actually did consider adding a line about island hopping (which seems likely) along with the possibility that it was merely hunting aquatic prey from the shore, as implied by some of the art. Givens how some of its aquatic adaptions, like the tail, are better than those of crocodiles, it would have concluded that Qianosuchus was indeed a "part-time" underwater pursuit predator.
@petrairene
Жыл бұрын
@@chimerasuchus Yeah. I guess in an island environment you have an advantage if you can exploit different types of ressources and if you are very mobile. Apart from the saltwater crocodiles, the other modern crocs are not long distance endurance swimmers, so this thing having a better swimming tail than modern crocs makes sense. On the other hand, if you want to hunt on land, you have to have those longer legs, the shorter legs of modern crocs only make sense in something hunting exclusively under water. At it's size it probably didn't have much competition from larger predators on those small islands, but it had to be fast and nimble because of larger, specialized predators in the ocean.

so qianosucus was basically a sea lion that hunted in the sea and could occasionally come to islands and become the largest predator there ? i think this is the closest guess ... it probably could manage that due to the uncompetitive oceans afther the mass extinction ... it would be intresting to see a sea lion seeded world develop such predators ...

The major difference is that Qianosuchus was far more competent on land than a sea lion or most other semi-aquatic animals.

I always thought Gauthier made a mistake having the clad named Psuedosuchia (false crocodile) should have been called Suchiamorpha (crocodile forms) as they contain Suchians. Likewise, Parasuchians, Paracrocodylomorpha (alongside crocodiles, alongside crocodile forms) is also a terrible name as they also contain Crocodilia.

It might be good he's waiting. I think a paper came out this year that challenged the old size estimates and significantly downgraded the max possible size of that beast. It still would have been huge - bigger than anything alive today, but not a contender for largest ever anymore. That is, if the new paper holds up over time. All that to say, the silver lining of waiting is we'll likely get more up-to-date science reported.

How does a creature with a brain the size of a walnut know it has to “evolve?
@chimerasuchus
Жыл бұрын
It doesn't because evolution doesn't work like that. Mutations to DNA occur naturally in every single organisms. Most of these mutations do nothing (since a large amount of the genome does not code for anything and many changes do not actually affect the function of the resulting protein), some hurt the survival chances of the animal, and a few help it. These positive mutations mean it is more likely to survive and reproduce than its peers. Over time, some of these positive mutations spread to the entire population. This can also happen with neutral mutations, which is called genetic drift, although this is dependent on chance instead of natural selection. Eventually the population has changed enough that it can no longer be considered the same species as before. Additionally, when two populations of the same species are geographically isolated from each other long enough, their DNA can diverge to the point that they can no longer interbreed. One this happens they are now considered two different species.
