Mammals Vs. Dinos- Mammalian Sensory Development

On the Science Channel's "Mammals vs. Dinos," night time was the right time for mammals during the age of dinosaurs. Their nocturnal abilities to hunt and feed protected mammals from their predators and lead to further development of their ears.

I <3 the Science Channel.

This has got to be one of the best animations I've seen for how sensory information gets in through the ear, and is transduced into "neural speak" before arriving to the brain. Most people forget or don't realize that (sensory) neurons play a part in hearing! Remarkable system!

I've always wondered what advantage allowed mammals to thrive after the KT asteroid.

@SpelKille It's constantly moving away but I doubt it was much closer at the age of the dinos.

because humans came and all the smelly humans made the moon take a step back from earth.

nah just kidding. The moon moves back from the earth about an inch a year.

[SpelKille]

What? Was the moon really closer earth at the age of the dinosaurs? Then what did move it away later then?

Think he meant to say "turn night into day," and also the moon was huge in the time of dinosaurs so nights were brighter than they are now.

Michio Kaku is the best host for that show. I can't think of anyone who would fill the slot better than him.

Another great show to watch, if you frequent NatGeo Channel, would be Earth: The Biography. It was very educational with a lot of awesome scenery.
