Kittens are very nearly the most efficient predators in the entire world, though.

In fact the most efficient predator on this entire planet is a small feline species which is closely related to house cats.

It's crazy to think that some of the oldest ancestors of humans came about 5 to 7 million years ago so they could have encountered the last of these guys.

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.

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.

Giant Hyper Carnivorse, interesting. I have learned more from this channel then I have in a long time.

@Brandein Gargulio its a bat bird! I love it!

That final line is so strong and timely!

I love how so many of these stories include grad students rummaging through a museum's storage and finding stuff that's been overlooked

These videos literally make my week

It would of been great if some small creodonts survived into the present

I'm a recent subscriber to this video series and I love it. Your videos are well done, engaging, and easy to follow. Great work! I would love to see a video done on the Order of Proboscidean, maybe more specifically the family of Elephantidiae, sort of a general overview of its evolutionary origins and transition into the three species we have today. Thank you!

Love paleontology

How else was surprised by the word "hypercarnivore" ???

A hypercarnivore is an animal whose diet is 70% meat. Salmon are hypercarnivores.

PBS Eons...it makes my day when a new Eons video drops.

I don't know how i missed this amazing discovery, but i did. So thank you for this video!!

That would be so freaky to see in person. I could only imagine a short thing with a huge jaw waddling at me.

You had me at hypercarnivores.

These videos make me think that everything goes extinct, even us eventually

I liked how the artists somehow managed to make them look super cute!

Hypercarnivore is the name of my new metalband.

Actually, there have been grass like phytoliths in fossils as old as 66 million years, grass had been around long before 30 million years ago

Quite interesting. It's been a really long time since I visited this museum and I basically pass by there every day. I have to go check out that jawbone

My boy ray j and raycon supporting pbs! Nice!!

*When giant hypercarnivores romed Africa* 3 million minutes ago...

I love the videos of the large animals that are extinct

Great video. These short documentaries are really cool.

I love your voice, the information flows in my mind very smoothly.

I love when i recognize where my youtube rabit hole will start...here we go

Love the host. Great voice for narration and really entertaining. I learn and I'm entertained - how education should be.

0:29 This makes me think of the times I've seen a possum at night and mistook one for an injured cat.

That would be crazy to see giant creatures roam around here today

Wasn't Simbakubwa massively oversized due to outdated scaling? The scaling type used yielded 3 tons for Megistotherium IIRC

How is it that something so massive and relatively young like this has such a scant and fragmentary fossil record yet we have more complete skeletons of microraptor and compsognathus? Can we get a video on how fossilization works and doesn't work?

@DeathsHood

I would guess because the African savannah isn't an environment that is well suited for fossilization. Before the body can get buried in sand/silt/sediment/mud/etc... it gets preyed upon by other carnivores and the body gets torn to pieces, which would only leave fragmentary fossils.

Wow, a video comparing carnivorans and creodonts; this channel is the best!

That first picture of it was absolutely chilling

the only notifications i look forward to
