Title sounds like a Thanksgiving at my house.

I think a good future video would be “The First and Last African Bears”! A discussion of why there are no bears currently living in Africa, despite other major carnivorans having a stronghold in the continent now. A discussion of extinct bear species that did live in Africa including the Atlas bear which went extinct in the 1800s.

Okay, Baron Franz Nopcsa is a really cool name for a paleobiologist.

Vampire bats are venomous? Well that explains why Zubat, Golbat and Crobat are Poison types.

I love how Blake is always so done with the Patreons' jokes, but Kallie is always super hyped and enjoys them thoroughly. Two sides of the Eons coin.

Snake at 2:05 in front of studio camera: “finally someone thinks I’m cute, cheeeez!”

We all have venomous relatives, don't we?

I hope they keep talking about the Permian era. It is such an underrepresented subject. Edit: Takes for the likes everyone!

Eons is a full-blown addiction of mine these days. I have the knowledge retention of a sedated springer spaniel but the hosts are so charming and the terminology is so accessible that its still fun to watch. Love you guys, thanks for keeping me sane during lockdowns 😭💕

Ooh ooh ooh! I know this one! The difference between Venom and Poison is that Venom is a black metal band, while Poison is a glam metal band!

Awesome how the subjects here are always super unique. Didn’t know this animal.

Glad to see the Eons crew finally talking about the therocephalians. Very underrated family of therapsids

0:15 Who's the cutest therapsid, you are, yes you are!

I remember Euchambersia from Walking with monsters. Therocephalians have always fascinated me with their adaptability. They were one of the few therapsid lineages to survive into the Triassic after the Permian extinction. There is good evidence they also had whiskers and whiskers are modified fur so therocephalians were likely covered in fur.

#suggestion An episode on taxonomy itself, and how scientist figured out how to classify extinct animals.

If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If you both bite each other and nobody dies, it's just kinky.

Venomous mammals. "How bizarre How bizarre, how bizarre."

Imagine if big cats or all felids had venom or even orcas had venom.

That is one jacked nerd. You, sir, are my hero

This channel is pure gold.

Absolutely love Bizarre Beasts and Sarah. Would love to see more of her.

I was in a family of venomous proto-mammals, COOOL

I would love to see a video on corvid evelution (I.E. the family of birds including ravens, crows, magpies and jays).

Who else remember seeing something like this towards the end of Walking with Monsters? ✋

This episode is an awesome collaboration! & _Euchambersia_ is a beauty of a fossil - it fits right in the palm of your hand!

There is also Megawhaitsia Patrichae, a far larger therocephalian that also was believed to have a similar possible venom system.

I approve of this cross-collab. Let's have more!

I know we all miss Steve when the patron names come up, but hands up, who remembers S. R. Foxley?

The puns at the end of these videos are the "stinger" aren't they Blake

Eons really needs a dinosaur behind a drum set to give our lovely end-of-show joke tellers a "bu-dum-dum-cha" : ) Thanks for your awesome work, Eonites xoxo

I remember seeing this animal from Walking with Monsters although they only referred to it as a therocephalian.

Anyone remember “Walking with Monsters”?

Blake's come a long way since he first started. He's probably my favorite host on eons now

I had no idea that therapsids could have existed as far back as the late Carboniferous. I only expected their "pelycosaur" relatives during that time

I've binge-watched PBS here on KZfaq and I wish there was more. Just glad that more is being produced.

That thing is so cute!! I don't care if it's venomous, I still wanna hug that good boi! 💙

8:18 "So fangs to this month's eontologists" *My Immortal author's note flashbacks*

I love learning about extinct animals. This is always so fascinating to peer back in time at animals that used to be on this planet

I’d love to see a video talking about the evolution of egg-laying mammals!

This is the second time I've run into Franz Nopcsa this year. The Common Descent podcast did a whole episode on him last month. Weird synchronicity or the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon?

Hey, how about an episode about the evolution of spiders

3:16 it's so cute when they show euchambersia to scale next to blake, it looks like a little puppy!

I LOVE EONS!! THANKS GUYS

Therapsids and Synapsids are my absolute favorite animals I’ve learned about from Eons

I'm hoping for a video on the siats. I've been hoping for a long video on the baryonyx for ages, so I guess I continue to hope and wait. I have not been disappointed in the waiting though. So many wonderful topics of discussion.

Well, do you know that Julien Benoît got his own KZfaq channel? Check «Entracte Science» for French listeners only

I'm so glad this channel exists 💛

is it weird that i find it cute, if i had one as a pet i would name it Hans.

I like the host split in this episode. Adds a nice pause and break in the conversation

“Can’t you see the resemblance” lol

In German we don't differentiate. It's just "Gift". (And yes, the root is the same as the English "gift".)

There is also a venomous therapsid from the documentary “Walking with monsters”. It’s called the therocephalian

Cool video, nice to meet you Sarah! :-)

aww the illustrations of beast looks so cute

Blake: "Sarah, why don't you introduce us?" Me, named Sarah: "Wait, what?" Sarah from Bizarre Beasts: "Well there's the platypus." Goddamn my fourth wall-breaking mind went a little wild there. 🙈

love how this channel is so faithful to its bibliography.

2:48 the Ear less puppy ❤️💜💜💜

Imagine being cool mammal with this advanced venom technology unlocked but still dying out coz devs made stupid cats or smth too OP.

Hey Blake, long time no see! Excellent episode, too!

I'm already pretty venomous according to my family...

Zaddddddy is backkkk

You guys ever Notice how the guy on here is absolutely Shredded

Great episode yall. As always. Dont forget tyrannpsaurids and pinnipeds evolution

As always, an excellent episode.

Ignore Blake's reactions to your jokes, people. Keep sending them in. They are hilarious. Air sac - second wind. Ha!

When I started watching the video it showed that it had zero views, comments, or likes. First time this has happened to me.

I love these videos, so educational

Wow, I was just researching Euchambersia a while ago. So this is cool

Good vid you guys! Well done. Cant wait for the next one

when I was in fourth grade I did a report on Plateosaurus, long story short it is and always has been since then "my favorite dinosaur." It would be so awesome if you could do a story on them, pretty please with sugar on top, and thank you so very much!!! :)

This was uploaded on my birthday! AND therapsids are my favorite "dinos" this was really cool to see 😊

Honestly, the way it is described reminds me of how komodo dragons use their venom

Happy Thanksgiving great stuff guys. Thanks

"Beast head" seems unnecessarily cruel, that is clearly a vampire puppy.

WHY IS THE PALEO-ART SO CUTE

"But hey, I've been called worst" I had to stop everything for a couple of minutes to laugh.

I like the way things are presented in an exciting way

I would like to see a video explaining how we went from the same skin tone to all the different races and skin tones we have now. (Might be too simple but I like how Eons explains things)

In spanish there are not difference between venom and poison. Both are translated as "venenoso". It also could be translated as "tóxico", but in english this is toxic, so... Edit: Actually, poisonous could be translated as "ponzoñoso", but this is a very little used word that is falling into disuse. You can probably find it in a novel being spoken by an old person.

Everyone interested in synapsids/therapsids/cynodonts should look up Julien Benoit's lectures on here. He is super knowledgeable and also hilarious.

Great video! I learn more and more from it! Thanks.

3:22 wholesome moment, like it!

Collaboration between Bizarre Beasts and Eons? Instant thumbs up, even if it contains images of spiders...

If anyone here is good in French, the scientist spoken about in this video, Julien Benoit, actually has also a KZfaq channel about paleontology. His channel is called "Entracte Science". He makes fun video with his colleague but also graciously gave a French version of his lecture on mammal evolution on his channel.

I love guests and I loved this episode

Love this channel :)

1:50 "Both are toxic weapons used by living things. What separates the two is their method of delivery. Poisons take effect when the victim inhales, ingests or absorbs them through the skin. While venoms have to be injected." Well in that case a spitting cobra is simultaneously poisonous and venomous depending on whether it's squirting the substance or injecting it. Also by that standard of delineation stinging nettles are actually venomous even though they are plants and we tend to associate venom with animals. Also when people drink venom in an alcoholic beverage; It's no longer venom, but poison. Also nothing that is not the product of an organism is poisonous; So no need to worry about things that are labeled poisonous... Mode of delivery is a poor metric by which to delineate these two things. What makes a poison is the dosage. Even water can be poisonous if too much is consumed at once (this is commonly referred to as water intoxication). Poisons are typically considered to be those substances in which the dosage required to have ill effect is very low and easily uptaken if not careful with handling such substances. This is why we even have terms such as radiation poisoning. It's not at all a biological substance that causes it normally. One doesn't even need to come into direct contact with sources of it. But it is considered poisoning none the less. A venom on the other hand is dangerous to biology in any dosage. Because it is engineered by nature (teleonomically designed) to be so. Most poisons we find in plants and animals are actually uptaken from non biologic environmental sources. Or are bi-products of otherwise mundane physiologic processes. They tend to be simple macro molecules that could from as easily from minerals under the right circumstances and they happen to be dangerous to organisms. But they are not venom in most cases. Which are complex protein chains, prions, and antigens arranged in compact highly destructive packages. The definitions given in this video also entirely ignore toxins. Which are chemicals produced by microorganisms and cause in a body once delivered that cause great harm with relatively low load (such as can be found in the saliva of a Komodo Dragon).

i learned about this thing from “walking with monsters”

Hooray! Another Permian video. The animals from the Permian are my favorite.

Finally subscribing... love this channel.

I knew about the platypus but not the other mammals. I love learning something new. And it's so cute, too.

Awww he’s a cute little critter !!! 😇❤️

Is it me or has Blake gotten lowkey more buff?

that's fascinating !

French native here: 10 points for gryffondor for not saying Benoi’T

I've always wanted to know more about these since seeing them in "walking with monsters"

Stunning

This channel taught me more than school has

Oh Blake, You LOVE puns! Admit it. 😁😁😁

Beast Heads would be a sweet band name.
