Video Description

When it comes to extinction events, none compare to the sheer scale of the Permian–Triassic extinction — the greatest extinction event in Earth’s history. What followed was a world unlike anything before — life got weird. From the ruins, survivors like Lystrosaurus and Postosuchus rose to dominance. With old ecosystems gone, evolution took bold turns, paving the way for entirely new lifeforms and the eventual rise of the dinosaurs. 00:00 When 90% of Life Was Lost: The Story of the Great Dying 03:16 A Precise Countdown to Oblivion 05:51 Extinction Patterns and the Greatest Insect Apocalypse 12:29 The Triassic’s Epic Marine Comeback 17:00 When Life Starts Over: Post-Extinction Recovery 19:29 The Great Land Revival 21:56 The Survivors of the Great Dying 25:23 Postosuchus: The Ultimate Triassic Horror 28:24 Colossal Shonisaurus: The Ancient Ocean Titan 31:26 Smok: The Dragon of Late Triassic Europe 33:28 From Myth to Fossil: The Hydra-Inspired Tanystropheus 35:15 The Triassic’s Oddball with a Hooked Finger 37:52 The Walking Boulder of the Triassic Ocean 40:02 The Apocalypse Survivor - Lystrosaurus 43:25 The Smartest Triassic weirdo? – Cynognathus 46:06 When Tanks Walked the Triassic 49:30 A Basal Mystery from the Triassic 52:08 Venetorapter and the Origins of Flight in Reptiles 53:44 Staurikosaurus and the Dawn of Dinosaur Dominance 56:12 Early Dinosaur Pioneer of North America 58:52 The Demon Lizard of the Late Triassic 01:01:27 The Early Sauropodomorph That Could Run 01:03:48 Pisanosaurus: The Mini Dinosaur with a Big Identity Crisis 01:06:15 Nature’s Early Experiment Before Dinosaurs Took Over 01:08:54 Massive Predator That Ruled the “Valley of the Moon” 01:12:50 The Spiked Giant That Fought Off Triassic Predators 01:16:10 Nicrosaurus: Unique Phytosaur Bridging Two Worlds 01:19:29 Flat Skull, Sharp Teeth, No Mercy Sources: 1. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/05/210519163702.htm 2. https://eos.org/articles/how-did-life-recover-after-earths-worst-ever-mass-extinction 3. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348367082_The_Disaster_Taxon_Lystrosaurus_A_Paleontological_Myth 4. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.1985.0092 5. https://phys.org/news/2019-01-million-year-old-smok-bones-hyena.html 6. https://www.livescience.com/long-necked-triassic-reptiles.html 7. https://eartharchives.org/articles/scientists-discover-surprising-detail-in-evolution-of-ear-bone/index.html 8. https://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/f/Heckert_A_2002_21_A_new_species_of_the_Aetosaur.pdf 9. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Daemonosaurus-chauliodus-gen-et-sp-nov-holotype-CM-76821-skull-and-anterior_fig1_272152780 10. https://scitechdaily.com/weaker-than-crocodiles-the-shocking-truth-about-earths-230-million-year-old-apex-predator/ Credits: Life on our Planet, Julian Johnson-mortimer, Fine Art America, Joschua Knüppe, Literally Miguel, NHK, Tiko, Henry Sharpe, Rushelle Kucala, Masato Hattori, Gabriel Ugueto and others. ► For copyright queries or general inquiries please get in touch: [email protected] COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
