  • bravissimo..il tuo video ce l'ha fatto vedere anche la prof di biologia a scuola :)

  • come la canzone si chiama?

    

  • Whatever, makes no difference..this is 2010...whales, dolphins, porps,,...all mammals.

    Let all us successful mammals take our place in Earth's history. Cetaceans blow my mind, and that is the way it should be. I feel they are at least our level on some intellectual ground..who knows, maybe more. I, for one am proud of them and they are so capable, intelligent and worthy of this planet.

  • entonces que los lobos marinos y las focas tambien se volveran cetaceos???

  • why did u put dolphins with whales!?

    it supposed to be only whales were relative with wolfs not dolphins right?

  • @KaReMHuDgEnS No, all cetaceans, which include whales and dolphins, have evolved from land animals. It is possible that they evolved from several different land animals, some from carnicores and some from herbivores. Dogs evolved from wolves, wolves evolved from a much smaller mammal which split into many different branches including the wolf branch, our own branch, and the branch of the whales and dolphins. Hippos and seals are intermediates which also have branched off.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest

    different land animals? like different families? i doubt it. Seals and Hippo ancestors evolving into early whales to make all the families today would converge so much that they are considered true ceteans? no way man. I thought it was a pretty idea at first, but pinnipeds are not close to whales compared to hippos.

  • @AceofDlamonds Seals or hippos are not closely related to whales. But they do demonstrate the slow move back into the ocean. Seals and hippos are just 2 examples, the manatee is another example of one distant intermediate. The animals between land and ocean are remote cousins of the original intermediates. There are amazing videos here on YouTube which demonstrate how the wolf ancestor animal split up towards the ocean. But he split up into different directions, some stayed on land.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest

    yeah i never said those others are the intemediates....hippos are related to whales...not closely, but they are...

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest I said something like this on another whale evolution page. Then I got mobbed by crazy religious folk and angry scientists.

  • @stufaman Yes, it has to do with humans' wounded egos. Even some scientists are not willing to recognize that Humpback whales have a higher intelligence than humans. I wish so deeply that those humans are soon be able to heal and become conscious.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest Years ago I met face to face with a few dolphins. You can see so much awareness in their eyes. I think it's the same with whales. I believe they realise they are smart. And also they can tell that most of the creatures in their oceans are simple in comparison. So when whales clap eyes on a human. I think they are almost stunnd to see a creature as aware as them.

  • @stufaman Yes, they must be very curious to meet humans. That's why they come close in Baja Mexico and let people pet them. Paul Watson has looked into the eye of a Humpback whale and saw a knowing, he said that the whale knew that they were trying to save them from the whaling ship. He saw that the whale had an expression in his face as if he was feeling sorry for humans that they are so non conscious about life on Earth.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest How I'd love to meet a big whale like that. Mind you, humpbacks often approach people as do similar breeds. But the Blue whale races away like lightning apparently when they spot a human. Can't say as I blame them.

  • @stufaman Yes, only some of them are curious and want to greet humans. Have you heard about Dr. Lilly's work?

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest Can't say I have. I assume I can find some here on YT?

  • @stufaman Hello, I don't know if something about him is on YouTube. They have a website arranged for Dr. Lilly. He is no longer alive. His work was the leading edge in this area. New scientists are now picking up on his research and they are trying to prove to the public that dolphins and Humpback whales are smarter and more ethical than humans in general. Highly interesting research. You can find him on Google. Just type in Dr. John Lilly. You will find the website.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest That's most kind, thank you.

  • my onlt complaint: andrewsarcus was a hoofed preditor.

  • amazing!

  • Ottimo video da 5 stelle. Una bell'opera di divulgazione scientifica! Ignoravo l'esistenza dell'eurhinodelphis: incredibile, un delfino che somiglia ad un pescespada!

  • grazie :D ...si in effetti ha un rostro molto prominente e fa pensare proprio ad un pescespada

  • @MacKlaus71

    vergognati! fatti una vita.

  • @japhysmith Io devo farmi una vita? Ma se faccio il giro del mondo una volta l'anno? A giudicare dallo schifo che hai come canale, credo sia tu quello che fa una vita penosa. Byebye, tra poco mi aspetta un altro viaggio! Buona sega, oridinario!

  • è davvero un bel video! anche perchè non sapevo tutti i nomi latini dei cetacei "primitivi" li conoscevo solo in base alle figure!

  • grazie mille.. ;)

  • also check out all of my videos

  • some of the names were wrong but it was cool

  • Hi! Can you say me what's it wrong?

  • the picture for pakicetus in the video is probably a protocetus. (look up pakicetus)

    Dont worry i have the same picture and mine says pakicetus too.

    That was an awsome video and you had some whales i never heard of.

  • ottimo video davvero bello...Basilosaurus nonostante fosse un cetaceo, la scienza è fatta di errori e smentite. ps mi concedo un W DARWIN

  • Proprio l'altro ieri mi è capitato un libro molto"particolare" che tratta dell'evoluzione della Terra e del ruolo dei cetacei.. Si chiama "verso una civiltà galattica" di Virginia Essene e Sheldon Nidle. Tratta del perchè i cetacei dalla terraferma siano andati verso l'oceano. E' affascinante..

  • davvero interessante...spero di trovarlo in libreria ;-)

  • Complimenti video didattico semplice ed efficace. Ma come molti (credo) sono rimasto di sasso nel sapere che i cetacei vengono in realtà dalla terraferma. Non e' mai troppo tardi per imparare!! lo metto ra i miei preferiti

    Romano

  • provetto biologo marino..

    devo farti i miei complimenti per il video! credo che non si possa apprendere meglio l'evoluzione dei cetacei! oltre alla canzone che mi sembra azzeccatissima, mi hai aiutato molto a capire meglio quando e in che modo quesi cambiamenti possano aver influito così drasticamente all'evoluzione di una specie!

    complimentoni ancora!

    alessandro

  • Grazie Alessandro...

  • Ciao Laura, bella idea quella sull'evoluzione dei cetacei. Devi sapere che molte persone rimangono incredule quando racconto che le balene camminavano sulla terraferma..

    Complimenti,

    Simone Casati.

  • Ciao Simone, credo che la storia evolutiva sia una delle cose più belle da raccontare quando si parla di cetacei. Primo perchè suscita molta curiosità e per chi narra è una soddisfazione, secondo per l'espressione che molti fanno quando vedono la foto del Mesonichide
