When i first saw the Gorgonopsid take out the future predator when I watched this series as a kid it brought out some immense satisfaction in me. Not just because I really love the Gorgonopsids in this show, but something about an ancient apex predator taking out some futuristic wannabe bat monster just proves that sometimes you just can't beat the classics.

I think it was necessary to stress the importance of

The two Future Predators from season one are an anomaly themselves since they never actually evolved. The two we meet in the final episode are actually their own offspring, they are the only two survivors from the creche that was eaten by the gorgonopsid, who proceeded to survive and then followed time travelers back into the present, breed and then the male was killed, the babies, including themselves, were taken into the Permian, the female hunts the humans back into the Permian where she dies protecting the babies, including herself, from the Gorgonopsid. Rince and repeat. It could be argued that the future predator is evolving hyper quickly in a cyclical time loop resulting in these super predators.

I think it was heavily implied in the dark future presented in primeval, humans went extinct due to nuclear war, and the future predators evolved due to mutations caused by nuclear radiation.

Born to late to watch primeval season 1 on TV Born to soon to see a real "Future predator" Born at the right time to watch UNC

This was a pretty well designed creature, you know shits getting real when they turn up, they're the dalek of primeval

I’m glad you brought up some of the more..... questionable design choices in “After Man”. On the one hand, the predator rats or jaguar-mongooses are really cool and creative ideas, but then you get the Baboonsaurus rex that is exclusively a scavenger and you can’t help but wonder what he smoked to get to that conclusion

The future predator is possible if it lived in a isolated habitat with no competiton like an island, and suprisingly there were giant bats like vulcanops.

The quite place monsters are pretty much the future predators with literal plot amour

I kinda understand the resemblance to Death Angels from A Quiet Place. But at least they kept it consistent. Didn't matter if you didn't make noise they still saw your heartbeat.

I think it’s worth noting that 2 or 3 possible futures are shown in the show and in all 2/3 the future predators exist , meaning they are an inevitable feature of the future, and that in the future Matt is from they are seen standing up bipedal while in the others they are only on 4 legs

I love the future predator in Primeval, it's my favorite animal to come through the anomaly in the entire show.

I love the fact your piecing together the evolution of the future predators to show how primevals flagship monster evolved.

I think bats could evolve to start with as high canopy nocturnal predators, which first evolve for arboreal niches. They may become fully arboreal, and start moving into new areas of forest. Here they gradually become larger until they can compete with smaller carnivorans. They may also possibly continue to act as nocturnal predators. Its unlikely but maybe not impossible. Oh also islands. And yeah, Cutter was sorely missed. Glad we still had Connor and Abby tho

My god i love primevil and finally someone talking about them in depth

About how the bats become alpha predators.

I’m glad primeval is getting more exposure, especially my favourite creature from the franchise. Great vid

One of my all time favorite creature designs from a TV show, movie or otherwise.

The problem with spec-evo is that, looking at all the wacky designs of the past, then the wacky designs of today, wacky designs in the future isn't all that hard to swallow. I mean, look at the platypus, the barrel-eye, the sawfish, the elephant, the giraffe, the hammerhead, and the capybara.
