All right, folks, like this comment if you want me to keep the fossil timeline, or leave a reply if you want it gone!

EDIT: I like how all the replies are people saying, "keep it!" lmaaoooo

“invented by a whale in the 1980s” is a mind blowing phrase

[stevedoredolly]

Whales absolutely sing:
I will swim 5000 miles and
I will swim 5000 more,
just to be the whale who swam 10, 000 miles to scrape my head on the ocean floor

Da-di-dat-da
(Da-di-dat-da)
...

don't get rid of the timeline!!!
1) It's helpful
2) I get entertainment from your frustration with it :3

14:20 elephant pregnancy lasts like 2 years, its actually impressive that a baby that big can develop in less than a year

STICK THE BARNACALE FOSSIL ON THE WHALE FOSSIL!

MOST TIMELINES: Reads left to right. Usually a straight line, with some offshoots.

OCTOPUS LADY TIMELINE: Accudentally drawn a pentagram. Cthulu was summoned. Chaos ensued.

4:05 THE TIMELINE IS AMAZING AS IT IS I ADORE HER, SHE'S CHAOTIC BUT SHE DESERVES LOVE

[piggletimpact]

I absolutely love Imaan's segment in this episode you can feel her love for whales through the screen

Keep the timeline. It's a beautiful archive of this series, and a testament to how fragmentary and wonky paleontology is in general. It becoming slowly more and more chaotic is an excellent representation of the field of biology anyway, so it's a perfect fit

[ideenlos]

My Continent is not tiny at all I'll have you know. Its a perfectly Normal average sized Continent. Some people have even told me they think its even slightly larger than Average.

[oniodarkholme]

KEEP THE TIMELINE!!! I enjoy the chaos of it at the very least

PAKICETUS WAS LIKE A MAMMAL CROCODILE

Parody music. They're doing the "weird al" of the ocean, mimmicing other animals in a humorous way (humor only a whale can appreciate)

[danielemazzali]

I love how the Fossil timeline progressively gets more unhinged, i LOVE THAT, pls don't ever stop.

[dizzylilthing]

HI OCTOPUS LADY, I AM A RAT GIRL, THANK YOU FOR HELPING FOSTER MY LOVE FOR BIOLOGY AND LEARNING.

[MishKoz]

18:43 that spiralling bubble net is one of the coolest things I've ever seen an animal do. Whales have got to be some of the weirdest mammals on the planet, but I love them for it.

30:59 depth metal, except for like a month in 2021 when everyone got into undersea shanties

In the far dark North there is a fish. Its name is “Kūn”. Kūn’s hugeness is unknown, up to thousands of miles. It became a bird, called “Péng.” Péng’s length is unknown, up to thousands of miles. It was angry and if flew. Its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky.

I believe this may very well be ancient Chinese people's fantastical understanding of a whale breaching, perhaps told to them by distant tribes.
