It's because a desert is based off of it's liquid precipitation I think

Lots of impressive animal lineages have perished. Size is a hinderence when it comes to climate changes.

We are currently in a period with a huge lack of large bodies animals because they have yet to evolve to fill the open niches left from the ice age extinctions.

@@GeraltofRivia22 I remember reading about evolutionary radiation and how other animals from different species will rapidly evolve to fill these vacant niches. I can see deer and moose like animals becoming the next megafauna in north america.

Yup

@@EarthenExplorer doubt it

In Egypt on winter nights it can get well below freezing too

@@alexv3357 That'd be the lack of cloud cover, if I had to guess. Any heat built up during the day radiates away during the night if there's no cloud cover keeping it in, and the temperature falls off of a cliff.

@@jamesredmond7001 Low humidity also contributes heavily. Water has a much higher specific heat capacity than air, so humid air holds heat much more effectively. In desert conditions both clouds and humidity are missing and thus basically all barriers to rapid heat loss

It's as if deserts aren't defined by temperature at all, but the lack of free water.

I had a camel ride once. They’re pretty calm and safe for the most part, but when they crap, it’s the largest pile I’ve ever seen. They can easily kill you, but they’re surprisingly tolerant.

Pleistocene Park ought to have been mentioned at the end of the video! And really should get its own video on this channel IMO, since it is trying to recreate a biome that has been missing from the planet for quite some time, and already has a unique combination of animals - and they're all living in such a large fenced in area that they are mostly wild. The way the lone Wisent bull they have is living as part of the Yak herd is worthy of study on it's own - but they also have wild horses, plains bison, bactrian camels, etc. All in one fenced in area.

Spice things up 🤣🤣 you are my kinda people

One hump or two ?

Ask the Aussies how they like enormous populations of wild camels roaming around. It's no fun; just another hyper dangerous beast, that can and will kill you. And Australia's already full of those. It's like Russia on steroids.

Maybe you should watch the video because that’s literally what he says

@@matthewthompson6455 Go to the timestamp 6:45 please and tell me if it's "literally what he says".

@@Kwodlibet do you know what 'arid' means?

​@@acecelery Yes I do.

@@Kwodlibet so it is 'literally what he says', right? since 'arid' doesn't imply 'heat' but does imply 'scarcity of water'

There's even a word for arctic deserts - tundra

@@hrsmp Yes, the tundra is part of this, but it also applies to regions, where the ground only consists of solid snow and ice and where there's no plant life at all. Like Antarctica.

Camelops also seem to have lived in more arid habitats as well though, such as in much of the American west

I suspect it's difficult to get into that much detail, given that the hump is purely soft tissue it would very rarely fossilise, and I assume the only way we know that those prehistoric camels may have had humps is due to markings on their bones that match those of modern camels, but I may be wrong

@@J75Pootle A more biogeographival study like AtlasPro’s videos would be cool to see about camel’s. Atlas pro did one about why penguins are only in the Southern Hemisphere and not the north. He linked up relationship between the geography and their biology, very insightful. Would’ve been cool to see how the camel adapted to be in the arctic and equatorial deserts

@@chaichantheshiba5902 While I do agree, I also agree with the other guy. That kind of topic is a equal to in complexity, so either it would need it's own video, cut out the other species, or just be a really long video.

​@@chaichantheshiba5902 heyy.. why dont you just do it and show us the video? Cant wait

Fairly sure he's already done a video where he mentions the camel corps, still pretty cool tho

That is a fun fact. Thank you!

That sucks. Why not at least catch them and release them to their original habitats, or at least tolerate and learn more about them

@@EternalEmperorofZakuul Very different times. It wasnt exactly cheap to travel from USA to Africa/Central Asia in the early 1900's you know

The camels we have already are big animals.

Another fun fact..... You can eat "camel toe"....

Our modern camels all originate from Asian grasslands but then people brought them over to the Sahara because of how useful they can be

@@stevenwhite9917 sure the ancestors of modern camels did but our modern camels (bactrian camels) originated in Asia as you already said in the comments of this video. Are you really that sad of a person that you feel the need to pick fights in the comments?

I know there are usually comments complaining about music in informational videos due to for example auditory processing or concentration issues. So that may be why. That's just a guess, though.

@@RadishTheFool that’s definitely possible! I don’t have audio processing or similar issues, so I can’t tell. I was thinking more along the lines of problems with rights to the music, but your hypothesis seems more likely

We might be the reason why so many died off. All the traits that make them such survivors in hostile environments make them easy targets for humans with spear-throwers.

@@jeffbenton6183 I know that we've "extincted" many species in modern times with modern weapons, but I can't see tiny isolated populations of prehistoric humans on every continent, even australia, simultaneously going on mass killing sprees and causing mass extinction of the ice age animals with some spears. Once they were gone though, we definitely were able to acquire a more dominant role, ascending not just to the top of the food chain, but in a way separating ourselves from it. I honestly feel that our evolution was only made possible by the world getting thrown out of balance and we now have the power to polarize our world towards healing or destruction. With great power comes great responsibility.

@@earthenexplorer2492 yeah I don't really buy the mass killing theories there would be 0 reason to kill more than you can eat. All animals eventually go extinct human hunting and loss of habitat due to the ice age ending just sped things up

@@shanefitzpatrick8377 look up buffalo jumps.

@@juhaszsc buffalo jumps have been used for the past 6000 years but the buffalo population was large and steady until the US started shooting them all to starve the native Americans.

It's really cool but our world would be very very different. We wouldn't be what we are now and all these giants would have had a better leverage over us. We were able to well... basically take over like we have now because they mostly died. Not amazing but alternative isn't either. In places that still have mega fauna or animals hunted by them you can understand why it is interesting but just as much a bad alternative universe. Mountain lions in North America drop bodies from trees and mimic the cry of babies of many animals including humans to get you to come investigate. Bears are wonderful but just like mountain lions are best respected by not interacting. Moose? Much the same story. Then there were giant wolves not closely related to modern wolves or dogs, Camels, saber tooth, sloths, terror birds, North American cheetah and we still have their food alive today. Fastest critter in the Americas and can run at it's top speed for miles and miles. African cheetah might be faster but if it doesn't catch one of those guys they can keep running and running for a long distance and the cheetah has to do it in boosts. What were the American cheetahs speeds with prey like that? It's definitely intresting but even with our intelligence we'd be very different if we lived with all that. Wouldn't have spread as we have and would probably still have a lot of the ancestors of these animals if they had all lived till the time we were born. Also in Asia they had all the elephants and big cats as well as gigantapithocus (I might have spelled it wrong I did it from memory.) Which likely scared tigers and could have been of high intelligence and high agro. The times then much like the really intense times of the Jurassic that were the most vicious and dominating. Times come around in cycles with predators and prey because forces of strength smarts and just big weapons to battle and outmatch each other. Our ancestors we share with monkeys and some of us we're definitely were able to handle these creatures. Because we did interact with some of these guys but not all of them as a few already died out. It's also probably why we split from our ancestors and now have us and our cousins. We were the ones that developed out intelligent and adaptation skills and monkeys found the perfect spots in ecosystems to cozy into. Still I think mega fauna are really cool but I've met bison, bears, mountain lions, and moose in the wild. I am alive but I don't think I should be. Definitely wasn't a "get out of this free" card in those situations I got lucky things worked. The mountain lion I was lucky was spooked by me making my really impressive large breed dog barks when in my back yard and slowly approaching me without fear. They aren't even friendly with each other approaching is not because they are innocently curious it to not have me startle. The bear was because I came around a cornor is was scared a moment before realizing "your just a human lol why am I scared." Me giving it space respectfully and not running really fast but backing up with eye contact was perfect to let it drop it's anger. I will stay it's a black bear so a grizzly is not going to have the same reaction. The moose I was just camping next to a group of scouting kids and they scared it into my camp it was charging and just changed it's mind last second. The bison I was little and my parents let me out of sight at yellow stone which is incredibly stupid and I just curled up into a ball and cried and when my parents found me the herd moved past leaving me behind not really caring to attack. So yeah I was okay but I don't think I would be as okay if we still have the camel and the hyena and the cheetahs and the big wolves and the sloth's and giant birds and more and more and more. I don't think it's great how much control we have because of the gap they left for us to fill in but they uh definitely aren't a great alternative. It would be cool maybe to visit with prepreration but other then that to love it it wouldn't be cool.

maybe groupin up and having strong legs.. and attitude :)

Grouping and speed

Same as horse or zebra. Horn and antlers are mainly used for mating dominance and rarely for self defense since they fall of after mating season

@@anonymousstout4759 maybe. I just don’t see them being able to outrun predators like horses and zebra can.

Buffaloes with blow pipes and poison farts

@@julianshepherd2038 i knew it🤣

The American hyena Chasmoporthetes was probably already gone when Paracamelus excistes. American hyena's were swift running slender carnivores not unlike the cheetah and most likely hunted lighter prey then camels I think sabertooths and American lions hunted them, the American lion Panthera atrox was about the largest feline ever existed, much larger then the modern lion.

@@julianshepherd2038 How do you produce poison farts?😀 by eating frogs?

Honestly, They probably will in the future, along with other herbivores like cattle and some large antelope.

@@beastmaster0934 indrocotherium 2.0

That'd be cool

Beringia is a very dynamic margin so it has risen and sank below the waves many times both due to sea level changes and tectonic uplift. The later was quite relevant during the Mesozoic since there is evidence for at least 3 intercontinental exchanges between western North America and Asia. In fact based on some species from the Hell Creek formation most famously T Rex North America Probably had reconnected with Asia around 67 Ma and was possibly even still connected when the Cretaceous came to an abrupt cataclysmic end 66 Mya given that is a negligible amount of time for tectonic uplift/sinking.
