I wiuld focus on the very recently extinct, killed due to mankind's ignorance and hubris….the thtlacine, the passenger pigeon (a moutbing dove is close relative that could give birth), and the ivory billed woodpecker ( close relative are pileated woodpeckers) .
I don't even care anymore the dinosaurs deserved the earth more than us bro I'm tired of seeing people being brainrotted😭
So a giant sloth had traits that are completely different than. The sloth of today…they moved, and apparently were hunters with skill that uses their talons to maim their kills.
This was a different epoch in Earths evolution, things go extinct for a reason. I do not consent to scientists inadvertently conducting manipulation or reintroduction of dna in order to bring back something nature already said “your line ends here”. These types of things that could possibly be a catastrophe for humanity need to be presented on a grand scale to receive feedback on whether or not, we as a human race believe this is a good idea.
My top five was nearly identical except I didn't know about the massive turtle and I said glyptodon. After learning about the turtle glyptodon moved to sixth
I sub to you Coyote, I love your videos
God makes such amazing creatures just amazing
That nature's potential is so vast is incredible to me. I would save all life forms, if I could. All are miraculous and incredible beasts.
All of this reminds me of ark survival evolved!
The only lizard that is apparently closest to a dinosaur is the crocodile/alligator 🐊
Broski has his 1st pick as the closets looking animal to a Dino😂
Could you please do more prehistoric animal related content?
They might be terrifying but saying I wouldn’t want to meet them is outrageous… I wouldn’t want to see them to closely but I’d love to meet them all from a safe distance
4:41 the eagle is one of the worst potential candidates for de extinction for an enormous amount of reasons. The first big issue is that not only would need to “recreate” a singular moa species but all of them due to the eagle having the power to hunt all types of moas across different New Zealand environments from plains to forests. The second big issue is there’s no animal to even teach a “resurrected” eagle how to hunt moa, how to protect territory, and how to display to mates. Even if you use the justification of instincts they are not initially complex enough to know all of these behaviors because many are learned from the previous generation. The third big issue is the eagle no longer has the niche as it once did 600-700 years ago simply because all of the moas and longer large birds have gone extinct since the eagle died and remaining native birds had either been out competed or switched to new roles. The fourth and final big flaw is the extreme conflict such a species would have on modern New Zealand due to it being dominated now by livestock and us. If say eagles were released not only would they see livestock such as sheep as prey but even human children due to their small size (if they can prey on 200+ pound moa they could easily prey on 75-100 pound children).
That was a little too dismissive of the dinos. There is fragmented DNA in the mosquitos encased in amber that fed on them. Jurassic park imagined that the fragments could have frog DNA spliced into it to finish the job. saying the remains are ALL rock is disingenuous
0:40 the blue buck is still around just very rare, drive thru safari in Gentry, Arkansas had a pair before it closed down like 3 years ago
Any update on DODO
5 Terrifying Extict Animals You Don't Want to Meet!
Includes Giant Ground Sloth
You don't know me at all!
Coyote Peterson next video: Bitten by a short faced bear!
I want to watch a megalania,
The haast eagle would indeed be cool to de extinct. The concept of the haast eagle being de extinct is cool. However there were rumors that the haast eagle hunted young Maori children. So bringing back the haast eagle from de extinction could be dangerous. It could also in my opinion suffer from ethical issues, DNA issues, and struggle with diseases.
Wasn't megalania extinct thousands of years ago? And wasn't megalania dangerous? The concept of megalania being de extinct would be cool but wouldn't it also be very dangerous? It could also actually struggle with ethical issues, DNA issues, and struggle with diseases if it was brought back from de extinction.
Very interesting episode guys. The good news about short-faced bears is that there’s still one of their relatives left! The spectacled bear is carrying on the Tremarctinae torch
There's also the Florida Spectacled Bear too.
Nice that you brought up Megalania and Haast's Eagle.
Ground Sloths need to be back
I think Megatherium and Mylodon would be better choices to bring back.
There was a T-Rex found with soft tissue. They aren't millions of years old. There are human artifacts with common dinosaur engravings. God created man with dinosaurs in 6 days.
I am waiting for short faced bear 🐻❤
Colossal Biosciences already has both the Ground Sloth and the Short-faced bear a.k.a. Arctodus on their list, but the Haast's Eagle, Megalania, and this Meiolania are not on Colossal Biosciences' list, so definitely add the Haast's Eagle, Megalania, and the Meiolania on the list, and bring them all back.
Coyote, I think you and Forrest Galante would have quite an interesting conversation.
Also, I'll throw this out there, since it's the obvious one: Smilodon.
