1
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology, and today on the show, we're giving

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: the creature Kringle Time's Reindeerer break and hiring some new

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: mystical steeds to carry Kringle claws sleigh, and using a

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: bit of Kringle Time magic, we're bringing some mega fauna

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: back from extinction, discover some unforgettable ungulates as we answer

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the age old question or Dragon's herbivores. Joining me is

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: friend of the pod, friend of ungulates everywhere, and host

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: of the show, secretly incredibly fascinating Alex Schmidt. Hey, Katie,

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: it's amazing to be here, and especially thank you for

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: teaing up mega fauna. It's very very I love it. Yeah,

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: mammals and bison in my heart is dancing around and

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: very heavy fun. Well look at the size. So yeah,

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: we're all about angulates today. Alx, you like an ungulate?

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I think I learned the word ungulate from a Far

17
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: Side cartoon. I don't know how many other people had

18
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: that experience, but there's it's like a guy in a

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: back alley it's like the strip is like a guy

20
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: in a back alley. It's the trope of like a

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: guy with a coat full of illicit watches or whatever.

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: But it's a guy in a back alley saying, hey,

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: you want to buy an ungulate, and then there's a

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: bunch of like antelope in the shadows. It's great, Oh

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: my god, that's amazing. That's amazing black market ungulate. Yeah,

26
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: they are a clade of quadruped mammals. Typically they've got hoofs.

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: This includes animals you'd probably expect like horses, deer, cows, camels,

28
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: and sheep, but also animals you might not expect, like rhinos, giraffes,

29
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: tape ears, and even cetaceans, which is dolphins and whales.

30
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: And the reason dolphins and whales are in that clade

31
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: is they evolved from terrestrial ungulate ancestors, so they do

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: not have hoos. They are the you know, thinking of

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: a dolphin as an ungulate is very strange, but they

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: are in that clade because they did evolve from weird

35
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: little dear things. I didn't know they got to remain

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: in the club. That's amazing. Yeah, they're still in the club.

37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I think if you called a

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: dolphin an ungulate, you might get some weird looks. But

39
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: they are technically in the same clade as ungulates, so

40
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, you might get some side eyes. You're like, yeah,

41
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: dolphins is an ungulate because I care about scientific accuracy

42
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: and I also care about, you know, fitting in with

43
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: the cool marine biologists exactly. So it's important to kind

44
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of a west side story situation where you have the

45
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: marine biologists and then the terrestrial animal biologists snapping their

46
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: fingers and right, the sharks and something besides the chats,

47
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the silic cants or whatever old ocean thing they care about.

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: Wikta's in the chevrotines sounds sounds really bad as but

49
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: those are two of the cutest examples of cetaceans. And

50
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: uh so, first let's talk about what a hoof is.

51
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: So not all ungulates have hoofs, but most hoofed animals

52
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: are ungulates. A hoof is the tip of a toe

53
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: of an animal where the nail or claw has evolved

54
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: into a very thick and hard, coratinous chunk that the

55
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: animal can walk on. So there are both even toed

56
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: ungulates like deer, who have an even number of toes

57
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: on each foot, or the odd toed ungulates like horses

58
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: who walk on an odd number of toes. For instance,

59
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: horses walk on one big old toe which has grown

60
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: to incredible proportions, so yeah, they're just walking on their tiptoes.

61
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: Ungulate legs are typically pretty interesting anatomically. So the part

62
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: of the horse that you would probably think of as

63
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: the knee is actually its wrist. So that big knobby

64
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: thing on the horse and you're like, that's where it's knee,

65
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: is right, That's that's where it's walking. That's that's its

66
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: ankle and or wrist. So below that are the elongated

67
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: infused bones of the metacarpals. In humans, the metacarpals are

68
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: actually that first segment of our fingers and toes. You

69
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: guys can't see it because I'm in your ears, but

70
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm showing Alex my fingers because this is the metacarpals.

71
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: So so yeah, it's just then the rest of it is.

72
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Katie's hoof actually continues into her and they fuse into

73
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: a single horrifying hoove that I like to prance around on,

74
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: which is, you know, really an interesting image. But yeah,

75
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: I mean basically, horses are walking on one long toe.

76
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: So that's interesting and a little bit upsetting. I guess

77
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: this is really changing my whole understanding of like the

78
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: whole essentially bottom half of what I think of as

79
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: their leg is basically a foot. Like that's incredible. Yeah, yeah,

80
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: so like yeah, because if you think of a horse leg,

81
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: it bends in like three places kind of So you've

82
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: got the shoulder part, but then under that you have

83
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: the actual knee and or elbow um, and then under

84
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that you have where you would kind of think the

85
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: knee would go is actually the wrist or ankle joint,

86
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: and then below that you have the finger joints. So

87
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: it's weird. Yeah, it's like I'm thinking of that meme

88
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: where it's like how would a dog wear pants? And

89
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: it's either across or at the back, Like now I'm

90
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: thinking of how would a horse wear shoes? And the

91
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: shoe is like half the leg, you know, because it's

92
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: it's the foot or whatever. I think there's a some

93
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of drawing of like what a human would look

94
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: like with horse proportions. It's called BoJack Horseman. It's very

95
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: good show. A lot of people like it. There's a

96
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun diagrams of people walking like horses, and

97
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: it's showing sort of the the similar stuff. Well, my

98
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Google searches certainly very strange and interesting, but not very

99
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: scientifically relevant. So moving on, it's weird toe walkers. But

100
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: it gets weirder and we can look back in time

101
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: to some extinct species that were absolutely just bonkers. So

102
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: there used to be a gigantic deer that would roam

103
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: around in Ireland and Russia and parts of Europe called

104
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the Irish elk, and it was not an elk, it

105
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: was a deer. It was also known as Megalosara's giganteus

106
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: because it was giganteus. So it's skeletal remains have been

107
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: found in the bogs of Ireland, which those bogs are

108
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: really amazing at preserving dead things. Uh. It probably went

109
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: extinct over seven thousand years ago, so humans definitely overlapped

110
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: with this thing. So it had a massive set of

111
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: moose like antlers. So you have two types of antlers.

112
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: You have sort of the antlers you see on like

113
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: a deer, but then the antlers you see on a

114
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: moose or like a I think it's called a fallow deer. Yeah,

115
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: a fallow deer are palmated antlers. So a palmated antlers

116
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: basically means handlike antlers, just like a moose. You know,

117
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: they're there. They have sort of this uh solid palm

118
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: and then it branches off into quote unquote fingers. So yeah,

119
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: palmated antlers. And it was absolutely pants weddingly huge, gigantist, gigantic. Yeah,

120
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm imagining the first human to invent pants

121
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: overlapping with the end of this animals, So like they

122
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: finally finished pants and immediately peeed them because you know,

123
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: well I think they were invented to be peed in

124
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: like like you know, some very early human like, oh

125
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: my god, that deer makes me want to pee my

126
00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: my pants, and then he invinced pants and peas them promptly. Yeah.

127
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: So the big old deer stood it around seven ft tall,

128
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: over two meters at the shoulders. It could weigh over

129
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: one thousand, five hundred pounds or seven It was similar

130
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: in size to moose plus you know, maybe maybe a

131
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 1: little bigger than a moose, but it had much bigger antlers.

132
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: The antlers were the biggest known of any deer, and

133
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: they spanned twelve ft from side to side. So that's

134
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: three point six meters of antlers and they weighed almost

135
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: ninety pounds or forts over twice the size of the

136
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: antlers of a moose. So yeah, big antlers, right, that's

137
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: the freakiest part that it's the same size of the

138
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: rest of the animal. Pretty much just pile on so much.

139
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: Do you remember that old the Grinch who Stole Christmas

140
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: car tune version of the Jim Carrey version. Yeah, yeah,

141
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the car like the check the Check Jones cartoon. And

142
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: he's trying to disguise his little dog into a deer,

143
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: so he puts a big set of antlers on the dog,

144
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: so the dog tips forward, and he keeps having to

145
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: shave off the antlers until it's the right size for

146
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: the dog to wear. Yeah, keeps tipping forward. That's how

147
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: I imagine these deer just like tipping forward all the time.

148
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's why their bodies had to be so

149
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: huge and muscular. They even had like this big hump

150
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: on their backs, similar to a bison that would help

151
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: probably kind of balance them a little more and also

152
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: gave them the ability to both store fat and have

153
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: longer legs strides. Uh. At the attachment of their shoulders.

154
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, just beasts, big old beasts and probably almost

155
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: like hair owing to see. Because because I have family

156
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: and Colorado who've seen a moose in the wild and

157
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: real life, and they described it as a little more

158
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: scary than majestic, you know what I mean, Like they're

159
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: that big and they're kind of aggressive, and they only

160
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: have you know, like one percent of these antlers or whatever.

161
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to see an Irish elk in life.

162
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh boy, forget it. Well, absolutely, yeah, I think moose

163
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: are scary. I appreciate them obviously. I think they're beautiful animals.

164
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: I respect them. I would not want to be face

165
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: to face with a moose. That is terrifying. They're they're big,

166
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: dangerous wild animals. I think that sometimes and certainly not

167
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: people who live with moose, I think they probably understand

168
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: and have a healthy respect for the moose. But deer

169
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: and moose and unguluts in general, I think maybe other

170
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: than bulls, we kind of don't think of as dangerous,

171
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: but they certainly can be. Yeah, Bulls, bulls, I think,

172
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: because of media, are the one exception where we're like, oh, yeah,

173
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: that plant eater is dangerous. But otherwise we have this

174
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: weird like dinosaur I think based concepts where we're like, oh,

175
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: if it eats plants, you can hug it, and if

176
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: it eats meat, it's it's the bad guys in the movie. Yeah,

177
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: but really not the case. Even like if you've seen um,

178
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: these herbivores fighting back against the carnivores, especially in the

179
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: sub Sparan savannah, like the giraffes kicking lions, and you

180
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: know it just just they can really, I mean, they

181
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: can sometimes kill lions like a giraffe, even something like um,

182
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: you know some of the bigger, bigger unguluts like a

183
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: hippos uluts. Hippos are on gullets and they can certainly

184
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: ruin your day and stomp in your head. Yeah. Will

185
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: the beasts can really mess a line up. Absolutely just

186
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: reck allion. So yeah, I mean it's they are very capable.

187
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: Moose are very capable. Even regular sized deer can hurt people.

188
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: They can kill people, they can stomp you, they can

189
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: gor you, you know, if you anger a deer up close.

190
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we have a great advantage with our weapons

191
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: and stuff, and generally they're afraid of us, but if

192
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: they feel like they've got to fight you, uh, to

193
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: get out of a situation you're in a lot of trouble,

194
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: because yeah, they are, they're dangerous animals and so and

195
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: so this this thing with antlers twelve feet wide antlers

196
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: that's like to like it could carry two do in

197
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: each set of antlers. You know, like that's insane, that's

198
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: it's it's absolutely the deer of your nightmares. And yeah,

199
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean we did apparently hunt them, which I guess

200
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: or the humans were just like, yeah, mammoth, giant deer,

201
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: no big deal, just gonna go up to this thing.

202
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure there was a good

203
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: amount of collateral damage of early humans of like, what's

204
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: this thing? And the next thing they know, like they've

205
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: been cleanly hewn in half by a giant set of antlers.

206
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, uh, one of the theories for

207
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: why these went extinct is because of those huge antlers,

208
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: because they are very costly in terms of nutrition. You

209
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: need a lot of nutrition to build up that those

210
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: muscles and to be able to actually grow such huge antlers.

211
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: And you they're also kind of, you know, not the

212
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: most aerodynamic things in the world. So if you're trying

213
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: to run through a forest away from the group of

214
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: human hunters. I would imagine they'd get stuck in things,

215
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: like in trees, and you know, it's probably not the

216
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: most um advantageous feature. The reason they got so huge

217
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: was for probably sexual selection, because they were huge in males,

218
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: and it was probably to impress females and to signal

219
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: to other males that like, they were awesome and great

220
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: and don't even bother trying to compete. Yeah, they're essentially

221
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: built like Johnny Bravo. It's that he doesn't need all

222
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: that hair up there. Yeah, definitely sort of the ornamental

223
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: bodybuilders of the unguill At world, where it's kind of

224
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of decorative. You know, it looks intimidating, but

225
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: a lot of it is decorative. I mean, they could

226
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: definitely crush you if they fell on you, but you know.

227
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: So now we're going to talk about one of the

228
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: most uncanny, weird just getting we're getting real freaky with

229
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: these with these deer alex. We're going to talk about

230
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: photos Sura today, which is a family of even total

231
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: ungulates of North and Central America that went extinct over

232
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: four million years ago, whose bodies looked similar to deer,

233
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: but their heads looked like a deer from Salvador Dali's nightmares,

234
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: So not as good dreams where stuff also melting but

235
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: it's happy. Although maybe with Salvador Dali, maybe his nightmares

236
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: were just realistic things like cute teddy bears, normal looking things,

237
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: and he's like, I just dreamed about o'clock that wasn't melting. Yeah,

238
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: I could tell time. No. So my inspiration for this

239
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: section is actually from a Twitter thread by an ecology

240
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: student Aditya Stranath and some paleo artists discussing one of

241
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: the weirdest extinct families of ungulates out there, so protosaur. Today.

242
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: If you look at one of these skulls, you will

243
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: be convinced that dragons were real. Alex, I have shared

244
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: with you some of these schools, these walls to be

245
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: in the show notes. They you know, they look like

246
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: dragons or dinosaurs, right, Yeah, it's got dinosaur vibes and

247
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: then also sort of a horse mouth as I understand skeletons. Yeah,

248
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Like if you came upon it in the desert southwest,

249
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: all bleached and stuff, you you would assume it's some

250
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: sort of dark tower situation where a dun slinger was

251
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: fighting monsters. Yeah, so there are many different species with

252
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: really wacky looking skulls, but typically they would have four

253
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: horns quote unquote horns. They're actually most likely occone, So

254
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: an accone is something like you see on a giraffe.

255
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: They are a bone structure covered in skin and fur.

256
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: For the section, I'm gonna use terms like horn and

257
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: antler just to describe the shape of these things, but technically,

258
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: horns are a structure covered in keratin, and antlers are

259
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: a bony structure that are shed and regrown every year,

260
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: and they, like a deer's antlers, will actually start out

261
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: covered in a thin layer of skin and fur which

262
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: is shed, whereas asa cones, which is what we're talking

263
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: about here, are structurally similar to antlers, and then they

264
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: have a bony bony base and they're covered in skin

265
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: and fur, but they're permanent and so they never shed

266
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: that skin in fur coating. Yeah, I mean, like the

267
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: little the little knobs on a giraffe head. I don't

268
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: think about them too much, but when I do, I

269
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: realize they're kind of weird, right I do, I because

270
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: I used to give tours of a zoo at Brickfield Zoo,

271
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: and we had a lot of giraffes that were part

272
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: of the tour about, and I think people always thought

273
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: of them as just silly. But then those little I

274
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: guess asako on the top of the head, they indicate

275
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: some sort of more warlike past to make of the giraffes.

276
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. And then, as you said,

277
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: giraffes will totally fight and kick in the modern day,

278
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: they still got it, Yeah, but with their next but yeah,

279
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting. I I don't know exactly what

280
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the oscans are used in giraffes. That may be for

281
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: mate selection. I don't think they're used for fighting, but

282
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: they may have had a relative that used them for

283
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: fighting or for mate signaling. So yeah, so in these

284
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: extinct species, these were probably used in sexual selection because

285
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: it was the males that had the most just bananas

286
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: situation going on with these as accounts. So yeah, once again,

287
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: Johnny Bravo, Johnny Bravo's most species, it turns out, folks,

288
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with the cartoon, I

289
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: think the nineties maybe nineties cartoon where it was this

290
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: guy who's like body mass was n the the pectorals

291
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: and uh and biceps and then tiny little legs. Uh.

292
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: And actually, you know what that Johnny Bravo analogy is

293
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: going to hold out throughout the show, especially with our

294
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: last one we're going to talk about. So hold onto

295
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: that thought scientific name Jonica's Bravonica in the you know,

296
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: the finer scientific texts out there. So most species of

297
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: proto sur today had too horny protrusions behind the eyes

298
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: and two on the snout. But depending on the species,

299
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: these horns were in all sorts of different weird shapes

300
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: and yeah it was the males ran particularly wild with it.

301
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: So one species called Synthotosus had a nose antler that

302
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: started out as like one long and unicorn horn and

303
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: branched into two, so kind of like kind of like

304
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: a sling shot. I could imagine, you know, you're wrapping

305
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: a rubber band around it and using it as slingshot.

306
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Was that old show with like the Caveman family who

307
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: would like ride around on weird dinosaur things and like, no,

308
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean flint Stones is one of those things. Definitely

309
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: flint Stones would use this as like a mobile like

310
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: a slingshot creature. But now there was another one, the

311
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: movie The Crudes. I have not seen the movie. I

312
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: googled cartoon dinosaur times eighties, and that didn't help me

313
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: really at all. Slingshot at an old cartoon. I almost

314
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: thought you were going to say Bart Simpson, like what,

315
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: he just goes around sling shotting things. But but of Ustada,

316
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: especially in the early seasons, they were like, he's a

317
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: real troublemaker. And part of it was that he had

318
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: a slingshot in his back pocket, which no child has

319
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: done since I don't know, FDR, that's very old fashion

320
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, yeah, the fling shot in the back pocket. Herculoids.

321
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: It was herculoids. Do you remember herculoid's No, I don't

322
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: know it. I don't know it. Yeah, I never heard

323
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: of it. I mean it was a little before our time.

324
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: I think I only saw reruns and stuff. But they

325
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: had like weird like dinosaur monsters and like a rhino

326
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: that would shoot stuff out of its forehead, and like

327
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: a gorilla made out of stone, and then these just

328
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: like big goo things. Anyways, it was a really weird show.

329
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: And this makes me think of something from that weird show.

330
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it was from the seventies. But yeah, so

331
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: so in addition to the slingshot on its nose, it

332
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: also had these two horns behind its eyes that were

333
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: curved and even weirder. So there's this dip in the

334
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: nasal bones that some people, including paleo artists Vile sincon

335
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: In uh speculate uh may have been because of an

336
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: inflatable skin pouch at the base of the horn that

337
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: males could have used, similar to how animals like elephant,

338
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: seals or frigate birds inflate a pouch for sexual displays,

339
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: but like right on top of its nose. So I'm

340
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: definitely including a link to a hilarious and really interesting

341
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: animated three D recreation by Vile sink In. It's this

342
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: such a goof osaurus, like, I mean, it's a it's

343
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: an ungulate, mammalian ungulate, but it's so goofy looking. And

344
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: then on top of that, the potential for this inflatable

345
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: nose pouch just incredible, magnificent. I'm looking at this little

346
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: video and look, they did a really professional job. It's

347
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: really well put together, and it makes it funnier to me.

348
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: It's just this it looks like it has like Edgar

349
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Allan Poe tell tale heart underneath the front of its

350
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: face really good, like it won't stop beating in a

351
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: way that's unsettling. Yeah, yeah, it's it looks like it

352
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: would make a little like bicycle horn honking sounds, yeah,

353
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: or have like that wheezing nerd voice that's in cartoons,

354
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: like it's trying to talk, but there's just wheezing all

355
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, yeah, no exactly, I mean there's and

356
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: this is just one species. There are several species of

357
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: really weird looking ones, and I'm including in the show

358
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: notes a a diagram of a few of them. One

359
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: of them was paratosris ward eye, which appeared to have

360
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: two big triangular horns right above the eyes, like almost

361
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: like I eye lashes that fused into a horn, and

362
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: then two smaller bony triangular protrusions in front of the eyes,

363
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: and this weird little wishbone shaped bone right on top

364
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: of its skull between the ears, like it's wearing one

365
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: of those little propeller hats. Yeah. Yeah, it almost looks

366
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: like old TV antennas and pictures of old TVs in

367
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: a way that no one has now, Like, yeah, like

368
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: it's picking up channels two through seven for free and

369
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: it's really proud of it, you know, beating the Kal Company.

370
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's ridiculous. And there's Protocera Celaire, which

371
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: was I don't I struggled to figure out how to

372
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: describe this. It has fangs, that's important, like vampire things.

373
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: It has like two bony shark fins um or dolphin

374
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: fins like at the sides of its nose, and then

375
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: just a complete chaos as you go up the face.

376
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: There are ridges around its eyes, like a square ridge

377
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: right above its eyes, and then two joysticks right behind

378
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: its size. So that's the thing. It basically has one

379
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: of the landscape backgrounds from Wiley, coyote and roadrunner on

380
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: top of its head, like several maces in a way

381
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: that would be our greatest national park but doesn't exist. Yeah,

382
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a skate park built on top of

383
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: a deer head. It's just these things are they're so

384
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I mean, so ambitious. They just the ambition of these

385
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: creatures that thought they could get away with these horns.

386
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: It also, I'm not a hunter, but I feel like

387
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: the hunting community would be losing its mind if it

388
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: could have this many different kinds of antlers to count

389
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: and rate themselves on right, like they all love just

390
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the amount of points deer antlers have, they would they

391
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: would be like like weird stat had baseball nerds, it

392
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: was available to them today, these antlers would require some

393
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: long division. It's it's a situation. It's a whole situation.

394
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: So now we're going to talk about truly the most

395
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Bravo of of all deer. It is a species

396
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: of giant guerrilla bear deer that went extinct over seventy

397
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: eight thousand years ago, found in North America, Eurasia, and Africa.

398
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: So these are did you did you say guerrilla bear deer?

399
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: Did no? Actually it's a giant guerrilla bear deer. Oh

400
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The fourth animal there is giants like in

401
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Jack of the Beads duck. Really cool. So these were

402
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: odd toed ungulates. And though they were odd toed ungulates,

403
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: they didn't really have the same hoof leg structure as

404
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: ungulates such as horses. Instead of hoofs, they had these

405
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: three big claws, kind of like a sloth um. And

406
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: the way they walked were very strange. Do you know

407
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: those like strider costumes. I think they're in like the

408
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: dark crystal, and a lot of people wear them for

409
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: like parades or Halloween or something where you're kind of

410
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: you have two stilts that you hold with your arms

411
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: and then you're on a set of shorter stilts with

412
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: your back legs, and people kind of walk around like

413
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: some kind of weird animal. Um, it's basically shaped like that.

414
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's like clover Field monster posture. Yeah, that's

415
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: where you have like big, big, big front legs and

416
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: then little back ones. Everyone does shaky camp footage. That

417
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: is what these are. Absolutely and they liked to eat

418
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: leaves and shrubs. So they had these little short hind

419
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: legs and really really big beefcakes arms obviously skipping leg

420
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: day but doing like quadruple duty on arm day. And

421
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: they walked on their knuckles of their forelimbs, kind of

422
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: similar to a gorilla, sort of like side side knuckling.

423
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: It actually more like an ant eater walks. Because they

424
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: had such huge claws on their front limbs. They couldn't

425
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: really walk directly on these claws. They had to curl

426
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: them inwards and walk on the sides on their knuckles.

427
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: And then their heads were horse like, uh, and they

428
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: had like the you know, basically a big, big horse mouth,

429
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: and they would so a review of what's happening here.

430
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Beefy body of a gorilla walks like a cross between

431
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: a gorilla and an ant eater, has claws like a sloth,

432
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: head and neck like a horse. They weighed over one thousand,

433
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds or six They were about six ft

434
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: tall at the shoulders or one point eight meters and

435
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: over seven ft long or two meters, and it could

436
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: use it's huge claws to pull down trees and strip

437
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: off limbs for them to get at leaves or probably

438
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: to fight off predators. Yeah, they could just put up

439
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: those dukes and do it and maybe fall over if

440
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: it picks up its front legs, but you know, still

441
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: pretty good until that pretty good. Even funnier, they probably

442
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: were able to rear up on their hind legs to

443
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: get at tall trees. So just these little teeny tiny

444
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: like I mean, their legs aren't that tiny, they're like

445
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: bare legs, but compared to the front of them with

446
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: these huge arms, they do look disproportionately small. And yeah,

447
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean like, yeah, looking at this thing, it's like

448
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: it's like a mule or a donkey cross with like

449
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: a bear or a giant sloth and with huge claws

450
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: that could definitely decapitate you. Ah yeah, I don't know

451
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: absolute cuties it is. It's like pretty nice looking for

452
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: being the exact nightmare collas you have described. It's it's

453
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: pretty fun to look at for being parts of seven

454
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: different mammals. It almost feels like somebody was vaguely told

455
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: about mammals in passing and tried to draw what that is. Yeah. Yeah,

456
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: it feels like a b stary drawing from a monk

457
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: who has never seen a horse or a gorilla, uh,

458
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: and tried to draw a combination of the two from memory. Yeah.

459
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're like, you're a monk, aren't you

460
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be focused on the Bible, And they're like,

461
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: it's part of it. It's part of it. Don't worry

462
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: about it. Don't worry about it. I've creative. Yeah. Yeah, man.

463
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: They love to draw their their weird animals and those

464
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: little inserts in the side. I mean, I don't blame them, dad.

465
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: It must have been boring to be a monk. Oh yeah, yeah,

466
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: And you know, enough time staring at the wall and

467
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: brewing beer that will be better later, you know, you

468
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: want to start drawing weird lions that don't Yeah, I'm

469
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: going to try to draw a line despite never having

470
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: seen one or even heard a description of one. I

471
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: think it's like a dog with spikes. Yeah, but I

472
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: would absolutely like feed one of these sugar cube, call

473
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: it sea biscuit, and right around on it until it

474
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: like decided it was annoyed by me and just slice

475
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: sliced me cleanly into it. Could it could definitely be

476
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: the tank in your like fantasy role playing group of

477
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: four or five characters. It could definitely be the one

478
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: that receives a lot of damage. Well, somebody else is

479
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: a mage and there's an archer or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,

480
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a It's definitely the tank. And yeah, are

481
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: like a Star Wars creature that you know that makes

482
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: some ridiculous fully sound effect as as you ride around

483
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: on it. Yes, Star Wars. I feel like throughout that

484
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: franchise they're very anti megafauna, right, Like there's some people

485
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: ride and stuff, but the Wampa and then the rain

486
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: Corps and then that big thing in the seventh movie

487
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: and stuff. There's a lot of like if it's a

488
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: big animal. It's a monster. No thanks, big animals are cool.

489
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: Get out of here. Star Wars not into it, but yeah,

490
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: I do. I do think like if if if Creature

491
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: Kringle times Reindeer need a break, I don't know. I

492
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: would love I would love to see a sleigh driven

493
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: by like a couple of a couple giant irish elk,

494
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: a couple of weird protocerotidae with just absolutely Bauschan mc

495
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: escher like faces, and then you know, bringing up, bringing

496
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: up the rear, maybe a couple of these guerrilla dear

497
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: I love it, just just following like a celebrity's bodyguards,

498
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: Like yeah, sunglasses and those like little little ear wires.

499
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, baby reindeer to to Papa Papa,

500
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: Papa Santa eyes on the package. And then later in

501
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: the movie you find out they're actually really sweet guys.

502
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: You judge them for their size, but actually one of

503
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: them does a lot of needle point willed the movie

504
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: into existence, Like later in the movie about this crew

505
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: of non reindeer. I've been storybarding this whole time. My

506
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: hand is very tired. Yeah, it'd be called Santa Claus

507
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: and then there'd be like in the poster art, these

508
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: fake claw rips and then blood dripping down right, I

509
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: am astonished that is not already a movie title, Santa

510
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: Claus movie. Oh, it certainly is. It's got two stars

511
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: on IMDb. So there's different types of Santa Claus movies.

512
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: There's one that's starring kittens as it looks like one

513
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: kittens like a reindeer, one kittens like an elf, So

514
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Santa Claus the Kittens Movie. Then there's Santa Claus starring

515
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: as skeleton dressed as Santa, carrying a axe. Well, hold on,

516
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: So they were like, we're going to make a horror

517
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: movie called Santa Clause. What's the first monster we pick?

518
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Definitely something that has no clause, a skeleton. Perfect. There's

519
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: also a two any fourteen movie called Santa Stole Our Dog. Um,

520
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. And then there's another Santa Claus movie

521
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: with kittens that seems to be pretty popular. One Santa

522
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: Stole Our Dog. Santa. It's just a huge jerk. I

523
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: know this is not this is not necessarily the theme

524
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: of the podcast, but I do have to see if

525
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: I can read the description of this this movie, the

526
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: Santa Stole Our Dog? So Santa Stole Our Dog is

527
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: a twenty seventeen Christmas movie. It's called Santa Stole Our Dog.

528
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: A Merry Dog on Christmas um by Brian Michael Stoller

529
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: Bryan Michael Steeler. Of course he wrote this, of course

530
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: he did. Um. So the summary is is pretty simple.

531
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus accidentally steals the family dog,

532
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: so begins an epic journey through the twelve Days of

533
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: Christmas as the family ventests to the North Pole to

534
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: get their beloved canine back. Now, the cover of the

535
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: Santa Stolar Dog has a Dodo bird on it um

536
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: which I'm not sure I understand that this is definitely

537
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: something I'm gonna have to watch and get back to

538
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: you guys on what's going on with this uh with

539
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,120

540
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: connected to mega fauna. There's a Dodo on it. Incredible,

541
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: great those are mega fauna, right, I feel like they're

542
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: medium fauna. Santas Sole Our Dog. I don't think I'm allowed.

543
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I could play just a little clip from the trailer.

Speaker 1: connection to uh animal biology. I have also pulled up

548
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: this IMDb page and I'm seeing a very cock eyed Santa,

549

Speaker 1: That's the entire stole a dog. A dog was stolen

566
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: by sunchel Ah. Well that's enough of that, but before

567
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: we go, we do have to answer the question of

568
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: guess who's squawking. It's the Mystery Animal sound game where

569
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: every week I present to you a mystery animal sound

570
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: and you guess who is squawking. So last to week's

571
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: Mystery Animals sound hint was this happy little corn eating

572
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: animal may sound cute, but it's a little stuck up alright, so, uh,

573
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: like you have any kisses? First, I want to hear

574
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: your oppression of it. My My favorite part is that

575
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: there is there was like some tapping noise within it

576
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: that sounded like it was using a computer. That's my

577
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: favorite part is that it was eating corn. This tidy

578
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: little freak was also blogging, so really good. Uh if

579
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: by using a computer you mean eating corn, then yes,

580
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: oh they're the same to me. Um wow. And you

00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: said it's a little stuck up, Is that right? That

582
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: was part of the hint? M m hm uh yeah,

583
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: I mean I'm imagining so many mammals it's is is

584
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: that what I'm gonna go very vanilla and gasa squirrel

585
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: a squirrel. Hum, well, that is not correct, But congratulations

586
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: to a bunch of listeners who did get the answer right.

587
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of you all. But the three fastest

588
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: on the jaw were Aaron Kay, Eric p and Twitter

589
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: user Dave Blogger. Great job you guys, into everyone else

590
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: who wrote in and gifts correctly or gifts at home

591
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: and sent me telepathic vibes that this is a porcupine.

592
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: This is a North American porcupine named Teddy. So, I

593
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: mean the individual porcupine's name is Teddy. They're not named

594
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: Teddy in general. So yeah. North American porcupines have around

595
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: thirty thousand sharp quills, modified fur fibers that are sharp

596
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: and ready to embed themselves in your skin if you're

597
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: not careful. They can also emit a strong, cheesy odor

598
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: if threatened, and they like to grunt and make noises

599
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: when they are eating things like corn. Apparently, I mean

600
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: I can relate. Yeah, I mean I know when I

601
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: got a corn cob, I'm just getting getting in their garnan.

602
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: Did you did you say thirty thousand quills modified quills? Yeah,

603
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: they're so, I mean they're not small, small, but that's

604
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: astounding that body. It's a lot. And they're little ones too.

605
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: They're the big ones on their backs and then just

606
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: smaller ones. Uh. And they're all sharp and pokey and

607
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to, you know, I'm in your face

608
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: and they don't, I think. I mean, I don't know

609
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: if this is still a common misconception, but I know

610
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: it used to be like when I was a kid

611
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: growing up that like they could shoot quills, and no,

612
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: they can't do that. They don't like shoot quills at you.

613
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: They will just sort of stand up, uh and present

614
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: their quills to you. Uh, you know, and like if

615
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: you get your face in their business, they will, you know,

616
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: get you right. They're not the needler gun from the

617
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: Halo franchise, right, as awesome as that would be. Although

618
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: there are spiders like tarantulas that actually can fling their

619
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: irdicating hairs at you, which are these much smaller, uh,

620
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: irritating hairs, So if you get in their business, they

621
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 1: can like sort of rub flick their irdicating hairs at

622
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: something that's threatening them. So, but porcupines don't do that,

623
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: just you know, sort of stick up their spines and

624
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: then if you get invade their personal space. Well, you're

625
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna get what's coming to you, which is about thirty

626
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: thousand sharp sharp skin piercing spines. Right, and they're they're

627
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: too busy to throw any quills too. They're all about

628
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: that corn life. Yeah, they're all about the corn life. Also.

629
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 1: I always like to answer the question of like, how

630
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: do porcupines mate very carefully? Which is actually true the

631
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: females um Basically all mating has to be consensual with porcupines,

632
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: and the females if they approve of a male, they

633
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: will curl their tail up, revealing sort of they're underside

634
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: a little bit so that the male can mount them

635
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: without getting eviscerated, which I think is sweet romantic. I

636
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: like that. It just is the joke very carefully. Yeah, no,

637
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's correct. Yes, that is correct. So onto

638
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: this week's Mr Animal sound a hint to the season.

639
