Fine, I admit it: I'm bigger than I used to be. But let me tell you about an animal SO huge that it may have actually pressed the limits of how big a terrestrial mammal could be. That's goals, bro. #paleontology #fossils #History #Science #YouTube #scicomm

It arose from rhino ancestors that were a lot smaller, but Paraceratherium would take a different evolutionary path. Believe it or not, it became so big that it probably got close to what scientists think might be the actual upper limit for a land mammal.

For some reason, animals keep evolving into things that look like crabs, independently, over and over again. What is it about the crab’s form that makes it so evolutionarily successful that non-crabs are apparently jealous of it?

It’s important to us that you understand how big this beaver was. Just like modern beavers, it was semiaquatic. The difference is that today’s beavers do a pretty special thing - one that the giant beaver probably didn't, or couldn’t, do.

Paleontologists have been studying nodosaurs since the 1830s, but nobody had ever found a specimen like Borealopelta before. The key to its exceptional preservation was where it ended up after it died and how it got there.

perennial grasses can live 500 years and they pump carbon into the soil to feed soil microbes. They co-evolved with large herds of grazing animals which help cycle their biomass (with the help of dung beetles) and with proper planning, cows can do that same work...

Are you like me? Do you love #rodents ? Then you should really watch this fascinating tale about how they got to South America millions of years ago. #Nature is amazing. #paleontology #fossils #naturalhistory #Biology #pbsdigitalstudios #PBS #YouTube

Pro tip: It seems that reading at length about mass extinction events is pretty good and getting you through a bout of #anxiety . Like, it could be so much worse.

How did two microbes change the world? By basically inventing endosymbiosis. And this happened, not once not twice but THREE times in the history of life on Earth. Check it out! #paleontology #fossils #nature #pbs #YouTube
