Prehistoric Predators: Razor Jaws Part 1

[KadoatieXD]

The old man with the white beard looks like a Dragon Ball Z character!, I forgot his name...

[mkocja5a]

@jacarandas82 i'm sure it'd cause alot less demage to the planet then we do.

[NorthCitySider]

@jacarandas82

AND the Short faced bear. That thing is scary as fuck. I can't imagine how scared the first humans were looking at them.

[PHAZE112]

@jacarandas82 how many years until future species say that about us!

[mimarp478]

i really wished this show was on Hyaenodon Gigas but Hyaenodon Horridus is pretty cool too :)

[adamgrogory]

Hyaenodon:

40% Tiger

30% Hyena

20% Chuck Norris

10% Wolf

[Metalmanmania357]

@adamgrogory I have heard that Chuck once killed a man in a rap battle...one bad ass moe foe!

[camelotgeorge33]

its sad this animal went extinct, i would have loved to hunt it to extinction.

[SweetestGirlxXx]

@camelotgeorge33 lol

[cliffworks4321]

and christians believe a god created these and all creatures? what a sick god

[QuickStrikes84]

@cliffworks4321

not to mention parasitic wasps that lays eggs in living caterpillars, tape worms, lampreys, etc...

[leahgosselinfan5]

@cliffworks4321 Oh great, not another of ''these" comments. I mean really, I hate when people post these kind of racist commets! and people wonder why everyone is killing each other.

[Jericzz316]

@cliffworks4321 if he had not created these creatures there would'nt be less dangerous animals today.. well atleast thats what i know teehee

[khasseki]

The Hyneadons from Mongolia and Africa were apparently much bigger than the American ones.

[ThePeregrinestar]

I figured Hyaenodon was named for is powerful jaws.

[LXLGREENEYEZ19]

Do you have a documentary video of the American Lion?

[MitchellFriars]

if i ever seen that pig tihng with teeth i would make it my job to extinct it

[MrRayquazaking]

@MitchellFriars Beter yet make it your mount.

[Echofrost12]

@jacarandas82 Yeah, we've already got enough scary creatures. Humans :D Oh, and killer bees in Africa.

[MrSeloso1]

Bear dogs are my favorite mamals

[LaStriata]

I don't like how this documentary completely omits the fact that Hyaenodon was one of the last creodonts

[lorenzomatheus2]

You have it with legends in portuguese?

[mason8398]

it's chewing bones just like tasmanian devil.

It looks like hyena!

[kokomokokoko19]

in WWB Hyaenodon lives in land of giants and here in land of mini animals

[MrRayquazaking]

@kokomokokoko19 IN WWB that was in Mongolia. This is in america so the funa was very different at the time.

[kokomokokoko19]

in walking with beasts they said it was bigger than in this show

[TheVelociraptor15]

@kokomokokoko19 That's a different species of hyaenodont called H. mongoliensis. The one featured here is H. gigas

[goeloegoele]

Sorry for the triple post. Disregard the first two; for some reason I confused two species.

[goeloegoele]

The Hyaenodon looks a LOT cooler on 'Walking with Beasts'. Check it out for yourself, it's probably on YouTube.

[goeloegoele]

I'm not hating, but they made the Hyaenodon looked a lot cooler on 'Walking with Beasts'. They depicted it as a menacing, streamlined, wolf-like hunter. They made it short-haired with an interesting fur pattern. All in all, they made it look much more menacing and genuinely scary. In this video, it looks kind of fake.

[goeloegoele]

Hm, they made it look pretty different on 'Walking with Beasts'. They depicted it with a leopard-ish fur pattern and it was generally sleeker; especially the head was sleeker, bonier. It actually looked a lot more menacing than this one and less fake. It's probably on YouTube, check it out for yourselves.

[txinjun]

TYVM FOR THESE! YOU ROCK!

[Arcanestyledemonlife]

LOOOL 0:46 "Give me the food!"-"Learn your place kid"SLAP

[zodiolestes]

Wouldn't it be COOL to have a pet Hyaenodon? Criminals trying to Kill you WOULD SOON BE HISTORY!!! The Hyaenodon would simply 'Goble them up' ENTIRELY! There would be NO TRACE of their worthless bodies!! Unless of course they did D.N.A. examinations on Hyaenodon SHIT? What an appropriate end to such WORTHLESS SCUMBAGS!!! Talk about POETIC JUSTICE!!!!

[TheBrimstone26]

who in the right mind would choose to play as a prey animal?...

[MrCrushergames]

they should make this a HD videogame with single player and live multiplayer where you can play as any of the animals in this show and eligoscene. you play as predator or prey

[ceitiosaurus]

@MrCrushergames Yeah! Let's petition for that!

[chroniclerofthe70s]

All lifeforms are related, the question is how closely are they related?

[joonte1010]

Thats one small little creature

[Junketh71]

Wouldn't it be cool if the hyenadon had survived instead of the bear-dogs? I wonder if the world would've been different from the one we know today...

[SkullwarriorSpud]

did you know that a hyena is a better predator then the lion as it is more commen for a lion to scavenge of a hyena kill then a hyena to scavenge of a lion kill but scientist just say the opposite as one on one a lion would win but in the years to come who knows

[your1choice]

@SkullwarriorSpud Yes, back then the hyenadons were typically better than lions !

[SkullwarriorSpud]

@your1choice i was talking about hyenas not hyenadons i might have wrote something different sorry no ones perfect

[ptango666]

andrewsarchus would have raped em all...jus look at the cute skull of hyaenodon in comparison to andrews

[margaritadestella]

アンドリューサルクスか！？

[prehistoric28]

I like the name PREHISTORIC CHANNEL. You get this great image. They're running all sorts of contests now. Just google PREHISTORIC CHANNEL. Their site will come up. They need members right now. I just signed up to be a part of their reading, writing, art, and geography contests.

[prehistoric28]

Yeah, PREHISTORIC CHANNEL launches Christmas day 2010. They need our support to become a full tv channel. Right now they are featuring prehistoric reading, writing, art, and geography contests. I'm trying to get people join as members. I want PREHISTORIC CHANNEL to be an actual channel one day. History Channel, Science Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, PREHISTORIC CHANNEL. Makes sense.

[ceitiosaurus]

@prehistoric28 that's what i was thinking. the title is not bad but how about the PREHISTORY channel or the Dino Channel Or Dino-Discovery channel?

[prehistoric28]

Really cool video. Anyone considered sending this to the newly launched Prehistoric Channel?

[ceitiosaurus]

@prehistoric28 wait, there's a prehistoirc channel? were?

[JayFeatherRocks]

i love the reconstruction of Dinictis

[WickedKnightAlbel]

9:03 I guess I know what baby hyenas look like now. Not exactly cute but hardly ugly.

This create really shouldn't have been named "Hyaenodon"; they're nothing alike.

[BeastRider300]

on walkin w/ beasts the hyenadons were like 1 ton in wieght.

[gauloiscalifornien]

@BeastRider300 You're right. Where is the truth?

[EoceneRoxton]

mmmm, oreodont...

[ceitiosaurus]

@EoceneRoxton LOL Hyeanodon's favorite meat cookie!

[IndianaJ25]

I wanna dig in the Badlands SO BAd!!!!!!!!

[IndianaJ25]

I wanna dig in the Badlands SO BA!!!!!!!!

[girlgarde]

While Hyenadon still looks savage in this documentary, it's portrayed as being only a fraction of the size it was in Walking with Prehistoric Beasts.......

Still, even if Hyenadon was the size of a rhino like the latter documentary said, it probably still would have been outcompeted by the bear dogs.

[AceofDlamonds]

@girlgarde

rhino? i hope ur not talking about a modern rhino, no no....but the largest species could grow to 1000 lbs based on skeletons.

[PotRoast24]

Hyeanodon is a cool name....

[hulkmeister23]

they made hyaenodon look like a thylacine. And, wut do they mean America HAD an amazingly rich fauna? We still do, granted the animals aren't as exotic as Africa's, but it's still impressive. You white ppl certainly thought so when you first set foot here way back and began exterminating much of this rich fauna.

[huzaifah123]

It says there were no polar ice caps back then. I wonder if the past will look like the future

[Kuwaga1]

Is this the same kind of Hyaenodon that appears in Walking with Beasts? It certainly looks less intimidating...

[AceofDlamonds]

@Kuwaga1

I like these animations a little better than Walking with Beasts....less intimidating? idk about that....but it's overall morphology and of other animals certainly looks pretty real.

[Shirozarusama]

Imagine a hyaenodon was stalking you in the woods at night! Then grabs your head in it's jaw and crushes it like a piece of wood! You would never like to mess with this extinct predator!

[LAWL95]

Hyaenodon doesn't look.... that big...at all....

[ceitiosaurus]

@LAWL95 That's because it's a different species!

[yoanasrimenez]

dindictis was not a sabertoothed cat it was a namravid

[1MisterAaron]

@yoanasrimenez well namravid are closely related subfamily of saber-toothed cat

[1MisterAaron]

@yoanasrimenez i know but the CGI Of Dindictis was A Cat

[TurnThatFace]

@yoanasrimenez

it is a cat with saber teeth, just not smilodon, but a subspecie that did something called

parallel evolution

[yoanasrimenez]

@TurnThatFace nimravids are not cats at all think of thier relationship with cats as that of dogs and bears, they and nimravids preceeded sabertoothed cats meaning they possibly occupied the same ecological niche resulting thier similar traits

[AceofDlamonds]

@yoanasrimenez

"Sabertooth cat" encompasses a variety of different families, including Nimravidae, Marchairodonts, and Barbourofelids.

[jmakedonska]

@AceofDlamonds I agree - sabertooth morphology evolved several times independently. Nimravids, or false sabertooth cats, were associated with woodlands and declined after 23 Ma when the climate became drier and colder and grasslands spread. It is interesting to notice that this slow animal, by modern cat standards (plantigrade with short limbs), managed to survive in Europe until the late Miocene (9 Ma, possibly even later date). This means that it met the Miocene apes!

[AceofDlamonds]

@jmakedonska

Agree? well, I was posting a known fact, but hehe.....thanks.

[iamnobodyism]

@yoanasrimenez if the cat had big teeth, its a sabretoothed cat. doesnt matter if they're a spieces of smilodon or not

[TheWolfboy101]

when was this show made

[Mrjohn5533]

@TheWolfboy101 This show was made in 2009

[BeastRider300]

@Mrjohn5533 wierd, i guess thats the UK airing, because in america this show is still airing new episodes, this one doesnt come out in the us until 9/13/10

[SonicZPowerLevels]

@Mrjohn5533 Are they still airing new episodes?

[Mrjohn5533]

@SonicZPowerLevels no

[jiraiyakian]

wow looks like an stapler

[kerryreece1620]

@TheWolfboy101 This is a masing  predator razor jaws.

[PhantomSephiroth]

Saw this a while ago. One of my fav Doc Series...

[MrColuber]

Oreodonts were not sheep. They were related to camels.

[Junketh71]

@MrColuber Yeah, but they were the _size_ of the sheep - maybe the script's writers had a typo?

[ceitiosaurus]

@MrColuber Them what was the ancestor of sheep the t-rex?

[MrColuber]

@ceitiosaurus Not the oreodont, that's for sure. The oreodonts were more closely related to camels.
