thank you! been watching this series almost since it came out and the art is one of my favorite parts. now i can look at all the art using this comment.
with this many people being involved up to this point (still watching the series) and with i can only assume further amounts of people in coming episodes, at this point bro might as well just make a whole ass documentary on a specific time period as i would watch the shit out of that

This is Tolkien level worldbuilding
@@amehak1922 more than that; Tolkien didn't have plate tectonics or evolution to contend with...
@@tophatsurgeon7469 Tolkien had no knowledge of plate tectonics unfortunately. Wagner had hypothesized it in the 1890s but the consensus was almost nonexistent until the 1950s when geologists scanned the ocean floor with sonar equipment. Tolkien would have likely had a more realistic map if he knew about tectonics.
@@amehak1922 True; this isn't a criticism of Tolkien, but rather an endorsement of Biblaridion, whose world building goes REALLY far...

Aggressively repel? You mean aggressively propel, right?
Since public dislikes aren't a thing anymore, I feel a duty to point out this video has 3767 likes to only 12 dislikes (there is an extension that allows you to see this), which is formidable. A good video gets 100:1 and anything above 200:1 is uncommon. But this >300:1 ratio is a testament to how truly well loved this series is.
since youtube removed public dislikes the amount of dislikes in general has sharply decreased. a somewhat interesting phenomenon
What's the extension? I'd like to get it as well
@@anonymouse8124 Return CZcams Dislikes
@@sicksock435446 In my experience, controversial streamers that people regularly hate-watch _still_ get ratios in the 10s, 20s and 30s to 1. Mainstream news is _still_ in the single digits most of the time, and sometimes even lower than 1:1. And the trailer for that awful Christmas movie got 1 like for every 42 dislikes. So no, a like-to-dislike of 300:1 isn’t any less of an achievement now than it was a month ago.
@@JontyLevine im not saying this video has a bad ratio. Simply pointing out that the dislike change has drastically changed the nature of the ratio in general.

why are the spider elephants/horses so dang spooky
thanks i helped make the xenopsid sound (:
@@pandoratheclay *camarabrachid*
First instance of sound is used for self defense. The second and thrid times are for attarcting mates and the last two times are for communication. I love how as well as things evolving over the course of the series, things also evolve gradually over the episode.
Camarabrachids are best
Considering this one had freaking sound effects, the time involved makes complete sense. That and 1 HOUR Bib you really do write more with every script for this series…
Lol it basically gets longer with every episode
Imagine the series finale being a 10 hour video on sentient creatures escaping the star system and going to another planet
I know Biblaridion is practically famous for this Alien Biospheres series, and this is what his degree is basically about, but my favorite content of his will always be the conlanging. His conlang tutorials are amazing, easily among the very best on CZcams, and I hope that he never stops making them.
I personally am hoping if/when we get sapients that we get Alien Biospheres Conlang

@@TheQueenoftheDead i hope that too ngl
the Phylactocanthid mutualistic relationship offers an opportunity for Batesian mimicry to delelop within Pharesis clades, with them evolving aposematic coloring in a blue spotted pattern would trick predators into believing they too where covered in venomous spines, if not up close from far away at least at a distance
The species already exists in the discord server, but Biblaridion had no time to model it.
some predators that don't rely on vision to find prey could be the few predators of those animals, including the naked-mole-spiders.

I expected Malacoformes to develop eusoiality due to their similarity to arthropods
He gets them from his discord. I’m one of the sounds at like 27:50. I just coughed and edited the sound to be less … uh … human
@@julzbehr6696 Wow, great job, that's very impressive. I wouldn't have guessed that any of those sounds came from a human, actually. What software did you use to make that audio clip?
I suspect there are eusocial malacoformes; as he says at the end this is just some examples of cooperative behavior. I do hope we get an episode going into what the Malacofromes have been up to, we haven't heard much since the episode that talked about parasitism.
They probably have, he's mostly ignoring malacoformes because there would be way too much variety and too much pulling from irl examples. Similar reason to why these episodes aren't 90% rainforests and 10% everything else.
@@williamminsinger7130 He stated that he didn't do eusociality because the trypanos were already in the perfect conditions to evolve eusociality, and didnt want to contrive a situation in which malacoforms become eusocial

10:38 I absolutely love this animation. The sound bytes of what sounds the creatures make also really adds to the immersion! Keep up the amazing work!
The art right before it looks like a Roblox game.
The next episode is probably going to have a decent amount of death in it. you now have apex predators transferring between continents with different ways of hunting. For example the land bridge between North America and South America. Terror cause havoc in the north and saber toothed cats wiped out their competition in the south. Not to mention you just ended an Ice age and large grassers will have trouble with the encroaching forests much like mammoths.
So who wants to take a guess on which animals will survive and which will die out?
I recently researched information on the Great American Biotic Interchange (this will probably come in handy for the next episode). Here is what I learned. 1.)Large Carnivores from high predator density areas did better than ones from the low predator density due probably to less competition. 2.) Herbivores that don't adapt faired poorly in the exchange. 3.) Diversity in a new environment is a good sign of creatures flourishing(example ground sloths). 4.) Creatures traveling to similar habitats will do well(example horses).
However from the latest episode of Alien Biospheres a coming ice age is not going to affect how well animals flourish in new environments due to the fact that they are just getting out of an Ice age. This might make many of the plains living animals to migrate away for the expanding woodland habitats to warmer areas. Cold dwelling large herbivores that feast on trees might well with the growing forests.
This man deserves so much respect, worked for three months to give us an hour-long episode that is both educating and entertaining. 👏
I love how common fan-animations have gotten for these episodes.

@@quantom1827 that’s fair, good luck!
@@lotofmalarkey434 Thanks mate :)
Perhaps you should check the AB wiki for his scripts, to see what he has included, and more importantly, what he has not included. Also, perhaps you might want to develop a unique tone, to differentiate yourself from the other speculative biology projects. Most of those tend to be a bit dry and technical, which fits the subject matter, but I find that Bibs' style is more approachable than most, which may add to his appeal and success.
At the end of the day, make it your own, and have fun with it. Good luck, and I'll be on the lookout for what you put out.
This series is incredible! Entertaining and educational! It inspired me to finally start my scientifically plausible sci-fi project.
Just don't work yourself into a wall in order to make the episodes. I think we all would prefer that you stay healthy mentally over frequent uploads.
Oh hey, plausible SF project? Have you by any chance heard of the ToughSF blog and discord server?
@@melanoc3tusii205 I haven't. I assume it's about hard sci-fi tho. Mind giving more details?
I agree
@@henry_alphonse Sorry, was watching the video. It is about sci-fi, yeah. As for details, the server is pretty expansive, actually. While figuring out space warfare is a prevalent topic, there exists quite a bit of stuff regarding basically anything concerning the future, from planetary colonies to transhumanism. It also includes many channels dedicated to the worldbuilding projects of individual server members. And a decently vibrant art community, as well as a lot of resources and a good few people with scientific backgrounds.
@@melanoc3tusii205 May I ask whether I can get a link?
Do not worry peeps, Part 13 is under production and it is certainly going to be an interesting episode, expect it to be out within 4 weeks if things go smoothly.
How has it only been *one week*...
@@valiang8867 My guess is that neither of us have been moving at speeds close to c, therefore none of us have experienced significant time travel

The sounds that the Camarabrachids make is so haunting and entrancing. I love it. 🔥
Stand at attention for the bellow of the Fabulous Tuba Spider.
The length of the videos is progressively getting bigger and thats just blows my mind. As well as 3d animation and sound design, MY GOD this is amazing series, every second fills me with joy)
You can help him make these by submitting art and sounds on the discord, I do, and it’s a lot of fun.
This reminds me of "Mutual aid a aspect of evolution-Kropotkin" im loving this series
Anarcho-Malacoforms when?
@@pacotaco1246 im still waiting for the malacoform proudhon
So far the attention to detail and detailed yet focused narration has been this series strongest points. But the moment at 12:24 when the "alien" sound played feels like a new high point.
BREAKING NEWS: Humanity to begin new golden age of peace, prosperity and joy fallowing agreements to world peace dude to the release of a new Alien Biosphere episode
I've gotta say this, a documentary type animation on this world would be a very cool thing, and also quite terrifing, but still very cool
We only have a few more years of David Attenborough. This needs to be done yesterday
@@alexandergangaware429 why havent we recorded every sound that beautiful throat can make and jam it through an AI is beyond me!
@@pacotaco1246 "David Attenborough describes this thing you behold, in a can," does sound like an appealing good and/or service
I kinda want a game of this world. Little to no story, just you having landed to observe these creatures like some spacefaring biologist on a mission of exploration. If you want some sort of points system, just throw in a pokedex and have the player collect each organism and study their behaviours.
I sure am glad that the peacock rhino somehow got creepier by playing minecraft mine ambient noises.
I love them.
23:48 the man himself C.M. Kösemen did some art for you, now that's cool
I would love to wander (obviously with a pressured suit cause of the toxic atmosphere) on this planet, love the ambiance added by the sound
You wake up, hear so many ominous tuba noises outside, and you know what time of year it is.
@@yannismorris4772 well, it was se same on our biosphere, we are just srangeling it..
@@yannismorris4772 The Fabulous Tuba Spider heralds death.
Poor Bibs, I feel so bad for him. He works so hard to make these videos. It is truly some of the best content on the platform, and I for one appreciate the hell out of it.
Why do you feel bad? Bro?
@@MrHomelessHobos Bibs has expressed on multiple occasions the difficulty in making this series. He does a LOT of research, and stresses out when writing the script and making the models. And all of that is before coordinating with the artists on the Discord server, recording the script, and editing. It takes a lot out of him, and he holds himself up to an extreme standard. He has admitted that this is unsustainable, and I was merely expressing my sympathy.
This is definitely my favorite series on CZcams. Absolutely love the designs and concepts for this episode, as well as for building on the whole sequential hermaphroditism-concept. This series is so inspiring. Cannot wait for the next one!
The series is awe-inspiring! Didn't expect that Kösemen himself will be interested in participating!!
Also I know I’ve said this before but are you ever planning to talk about life in freshwater exclusively? Since freshwater is a surprisingly challenging environment especially in dryer climates.
He mentioned in Episode 7 that he’ll talk more on freshwater ecosystems in a future episode. At this point it may be combined with another episode, but who knows it could be its own seperate episode. All I want is aquatic desmostracan.
Quoting the words of a wise man:
WHOOOOOO, YEAAAA BABY, THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
I love these series, this new part made my day
@@mansionbookerstudios9629 shut up
@@mansionbookerstudios9629 That used to be funny or something?
@@mansionbookerstudios9629 I dont got that joke
God I love this series, I've been following this series for 3 years now. It's so interesting and always fun to watch, even if like 60% of the stuff discussed just flies right over my head. I can't wait for the next episode, and the one after that, and the eventual episode where one (or more!) of the species develops sentience, and begin to develop less nomadic life styles, and more settled, and even begin domestication of both flora and fauna.
Here's to the next 3 years of development of this hypothetical planet!
What I really like about this series is that not only are you building a fascinating world, I'm learning a lot about the real world at the same time.
Dude the Pipiodonts are gonna be the intelligent ones i swear lol
They already have close bonds with eachother, they're like tiny flying crickets with friendship goals
Also, I love how we're slowly getting creatures with more and more complex colors, patterns and such. We started with the most basic color schemes.
Now I think we're at the point where these are all considered "dinosaurs", maybe. Like, really early dinosaurs.
Exactly there starting to have dinosaur like adaptations at least the megafauna Well except for the fact they don’t have necks
I’m so proud of how far this series has come
If they have two branching respiratory ways, why won't they have also two separate sets of vocal organs to create more intresting sounds? =)
Also, what about a symbiosis between eusocial critters and a carnivorous plant in a desert landscape? That plant collects nutrients from the soil and sunlight, but also feeds on small creatures with special traps. And one caste of an insectoid specie is designed for deactivating these traps in the cost of its life, giving more resources to the plant and allowing the rest of the squad to fearlessly collect some of its edible parts.
I hope the super continent reforming is not the last episode of the series. I would love to see you take your species to evolve self-awareness and into a stone age and agricultural age.
It would be interesting to see if Tira's sapients develop arrows and use the arrow as a symbol to signify direction as is common with us.
He’s said in the past a few things he was going to go in depth about in future episodes (freshwater ecologies, mass extinction events, etc). Also I’m going to take an educated guess and say that the next episode will focus mainly on the western and eastern continent interchange whilst leaving the ecology of the recently separated subcontinent for the next episode. If he does a mass extinction episode he’ll also need to do one about the adaptive radiation that occurs shortly afterwards (though judging from the increased length of each episode, by that point he may combine those two together. Yet it might be unfeasible to have an episode going into detail about the environmental changes during the mass extinction and the clades that will die off and another about all those vacant clades being refilled combined into one mega two hour long episode). So don’t worry you still have at least 3-4 more episodes to come.
It's been 84 years.
Good to have you back
1 million years later
Maul: He lives"chuckles in excitement"
HE LIVES
What?
@@stevenandersen6989 it's a scene from star wars rebels where he finds out that obiwan kenobi is alive
I'm using the reference to tell Biblaridion: "I tought you were dead, and I'm glad your not"
16:30 incredible animation. I love seeing these creatures realistically
It’s fun going back to older episodes and realizing “Oh hey, this is one of the ones that survived the mass extinction.”
the sounds of the new species were easily the highlight of the episode.
Dude, these drawings and animations do make the whole thing much more vivid. I'm surprised on how far this series has come, and very grad for it.
Also, what software is used to produce the "voices" of these animals?
You would have to ask the creators of the sounds, since Biblaridion himself didn’t actually produce them.
@@naturegnatiggy that's a good point, but I thought he could possibly know it, even though they weren't of his own making
I made some of the sounds at like 27:50 by editing the voice of my cough, because I was sick when he sent the prompt and he described it as being like forceful exhales or coughs
I made the last part 20:17, and I use Audition to modify a whales calling
@@julzbehr6696 That was clever, I wouldn't have had this idea. What software did you use?
I studied Biology, suffering from ADHD I struggled to pay attention during lectures. No issues here, I am learning more here than I did there. They really should take a page from this, its so interesting. Very well done!
My favorite illustration out of all the other fantastic works here is the one at 25:26. It's just... So dang expressive, I love it.
"Dave, calm your face, the poor kid's like five years old"
*"I'LL DO WHAT I WANT, S H A N N O N"*
Burpopo and Lace's animations are incredible.
Yet again you've succeeded at everything with these animals, except at making them cute, or at least any less terrifying, which may be realistic, but I still have hope I'll find one of these pleasant to look at.
Some of them are cute but most are nightmare fuel
@the great lumberjack King Only because they are so very, very different to the mammalian body-plan.
If you let go of the superficial resemblance to some Earth-invertebrates, then they just become disturbingly-alien. 😉😉
@@John_Weiss your right. I think its because we are so used to vertebrate mammalian body plans that when we see Somthing that isnt that were creeped out. If someone some how lived there entire life among these animals they would. See them as normal. But see earth animals as weird and creepy idk. Thats for the advice
@@Lumberjack_king Eh, I don't care so much about, "being right." 😉 I wanted to offer some food for thought. Especially since we've been so trained by Hollywood Scifi to think "alien" means "prosthetic foreheads." 😁
@@John_Weiss lol yeah well its cheaper to make unrealistic huminoid aliens using cgi. Than it is to make unique. Creatures unrelated to us
Brb off to get on my tuxedo for new alien biospheres episode
I am so impressed that you are able to keep track of everything over 12 episodes. You must keep very detailed notes! Keep it up, I am enjoying this!
Worth the wait. And with actual vocalizations, too!
I guess next time, probably around Easter, we'll see what happens when worlds collide...
The Xenopsids are adorable and I want a plushie of one.
Same
Literally same
The animation at 16:29 is so cool. And every art made by Lace.
I'm glad you liked them. They took a while to make but I'm glad I was able to get them done in time for the episode.
@@lacien5624 Definitely worth it. A great addition to these videos!
I came into this video five days late and after months of waiting I didn't expect to come out of the other end of it with the knowledge that Biblaridion just explained what the concept of a harem was to me. What a wonderful world.
The man, the myth, the legend C.M. Kösemen doing art for this series is amazing.
Can’t wait
Makes me wonder how seahorses evolved, and what pressures made it beneficial for the males to carry the eggs instead of the females
Hmm good question
Maybe just energy. Eggs take more energy to produce and carrying them does too.
To quote some random comment from the last video:
"When the world needed him the most, he returned "
If you’re interested in making more alien animal sounds, as someone who has done a lot, just go out and record random sounds. Woodwind and brass instruments are really good, but also random foley can be edited into really cool alien animal calls.
Finally another episode, thanks man for this early Christmas gift! 😀
I'm happy for a new episode but I'll have to rewatch the whole series to understand what was going on
Same
True but i dont mind at all
i love this so much!
The Hype I felt when you said that eusociality is not the peak of cooperative behavior was like seeing the main-character of a story unlocking a new final form in the last battle of the season!
i love the sounds that he added, really helps show what they sound like, really hope that someone has the skill to make some sort of open-world Pokémon snap like game out of this series
One of the best cliffhangers in the series.
