These hyaenodonts gave the world some of its largest terrestrial, carnivorous mammals ever known. And while these behemoths were the apex predators of their time, they were no match for a changing world.
Thanks to Dr. Matthew Borths and Dr. Nancy Stevens for allowing us to use images from their recent paper on Simbakubwa, including the wonderful paleoart of Mauricio Antón: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1...
And big thanks to these paleoartists for allowing us to use their wonderful illustrations:

Kittens are very nearly the most efficient predators in the entire world, though. That's kind of the entire reason people started keeping them around in the first place (they kill anything that's smaller than them, and the percentage of successful hunts vs failed ones is insane). In fact the most efficient predator on this entire planet is a small feline species which is closely related to house cats.

@bigdickpornsuperstar 4 жыл бұрын
The dog food I buy is grain free and based on 100% animal protein. The only "veggies" in it are the ones in the animals before they got ground up into dog food. AND it cost far less than what I see on the shelves at pet stores (but some of that cost savings is because I buy in bulk online). So I'm not sure where this "grains & veggies make it cheaper" comes from.

@Xnaut314 4 жыл бұрын
I'd say competition with modern Carnivora had a bigger impact on hyenadonts than climate change. The typical trend with mammal evolution across the fossil record is that the most successful taxa are those that prioritize more complex behaviors and body structures, not physical size and strength. Most of the biggest mammalian carnivores and herbivores in history lived in the earlier epochs of the Cenozoic and had generally simpler body plans than those of later epochs and the present, and the largest modern taxa that ecologically replaced the earlier megafauna usually never repeated the previous size records, despite having plenty of evolutionary time and resources to do so. Even in a environment where there are no preventive obstacles, bigger isn't always better, and the most successful mammals usually evolve towards improving the quality of their mass instead of merely increasing its quantity.

The name of the channel is "PBS Eons"; it would be nice to have a stroll through the eons. Specifically, I would like to see an episode devoted to how the eons, eras, periods and epochs got their names and a little flavor of what characterizes those times. If you watch many episodes, you get a sense of what to expect, but it would be nice to have an episode that ties it all together.

I've recently read some articles about anomalocarids. These fascinating creatures seem to be more well-known than I thought, and they were quite diversified too! One of them seem to have been a filter a bit like whales or whale sharks. So I thought that I would like to learn more about giant filter feeders that existed in the past. It seems like it's a systematic step in convergent evolution and very different types of animals can develop adaptations to this feeding habit.
