    Those big opening behind its eyes are vital in modern crocs for heating blood in the skull(in thermal imaging of basking crocs this area glows bright with hot blood near the surface). If machimosaurus was doing the same thing i imagine it would not need to bask for nearly as long to get to tempreture. Also those 2 rows of huge osteoderns look like a quite efficient solar array for quickly heating up.

There's so many ancient critters that are nearly totally unknown by most people, and completely unknown by the average person, and that's a shame. I'm glad you're working to help fix that.

      @blizzard2508-k7n Před 2 lety +1

      I believe mosasaurs did give live birth (at least, other marine reptiles did), so that wouldn't be surprising.
      On the other hand, parental care post-birth is extremely rare in the ocean. I'm not sure if our croc boi can keep track of the numerous offspring or incubate them when food in the ocean can be pretty far away. Even then, Crocs only raise young long enough that they can not get easily eaten. If mosasaurs get pregnant, the young are likely large enough by birth to be independent.

    • @rileyernst9086
      @rileyernst9086 Před 2 lety +1

      Well mosasaurs took to the oceans after the cenomanian turoian mass extinction, and it seems machimosaurus died out millions of years before this. But icthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and pliosaurs would have been contemporary and all gave birth to live young. I'd agree that they would have likely looked after their young like dophins and whales do(as in the case of the icthyosaurs giving birth the baby is not an inconsiderable size, and its unlikely a mother can fit more than 1 or 2). Its not really a leap imagining them forming pods like dolphins and killer whales as well. I think the ocean, particularly when its full of large reptilian predators would sorta promote novel adaptations and close bonds within the group and with partners.

      @@rileyernst9086 "mosasaurs took to the ocean" I thought they were pliosaurs?
      I agree that few offspring would make parenting more viable, but I don't know if it would give enough selection pressure. Sharks that produce live offspring do not raise them as they are fully capable of surviving and cannot get milk. Unless either of those two factors are changed, I see no (strong) reason for parenting in marine reptiles.

    Machimosaurus is shown to have five species. Lately there has been talk that some smaller species of Dino Carnivores may be juveniles of some of the larger Carnivores. If any of these Machimosaurus species were found temporally near each other in the fossil record, is possible that they may also be juveniles of one the other Machimosaurus. Keep these wonderful programs coming!

    • @chimerasuchus
      @chimerasuchus  Před 2 lety +1

      The best place to start is the technical literature. When available, it is also a good idea to check for press releases about a discovery, which often provide additional information not in the paper. Wikipedia is usually accurate and is rarely flat out wrong. However, it is often out of date and a lot of the language is about as technical as the paper itself.

      Crocodilia is defined as the crocodile crown group, basically all living species of crocodylomorphs, their last common ancestor, and all of the extinct descendants of that last common ancestor. All of the extinct crocodylomorphs who are not descended from that most recent common ancestor are therefore outside of Crocodilia proper. Many crocodylomorphs were already very crocodile-like, though some like Machimosaurus may have evolved a crocodilian-like body convergently as a result of evolving a semi-aquatic lifestyle.
