“I don’t want to give up too much information” proceeds to give up all the information

If this guy is telling the truth about all the different years of research he has done on different topics he would be at least 4, 567 years old by now.

Fascinating. If you want to blow your mind look up the “gambo river monster” where this 15 yo British kid identifies this prehistoric marine reptile and he describes it back in 1983 and all these people think he’s full of it but what he describes is a crocodyliform - metriorhynchid like “plesiosuchus” for example and he counts the teeth 🦷 and talks about how the skin was smooth with no osteoderms and how the tail was crosssectioned and not quite triangular.

The funny thing about this story was that after Jurassic world came out starring Chris Pratt, we found fossilized mosasaur skin which was smooth, and it was dark on top and light on bottom how this guy describes it

Also he said it had 20 teeth on each side on the top and 20 on the bottom meaning 80 teeth which was correct

The biggest point was that the tail being cross sectioned and not quite triangular, around 2010 30 years after 1983 when he saw this we discovered that prehistoric marine reptiles did have a tail fluke (fin) at the end of their tails so all the toy companies making mosasaur after 2010 put fins on the tails but how could he have known that back in 1983

Another point he said that it had nostrils at the point of the snout and the only prehistoric marine reptiles that had them placed there were metriorhynchids.

Lastly he talked about how the back legs were longer and like webbed feet and the forelimbs were smaller not possessing and finger like appendages like webbed feet but more like paddles.

Well back in the 1980s all thallatosuchians including metriorhynchids were illustrated in books with having four limbs that were all webbed feet like a crocodile and not having the first set like paddles as we know metriorynchids to have them today.

How could he have known all this without seeing one?!?!

“jamie pull up the video of a bear attacking the giant sloth”

[joeblack]

Impenetrable Bowl sounds like an independent film on The Hub.

[darroneischen]

I heard the short face bear wouldn’t even try and fuck with a giant sloth back in the prehistoric ages. Joe Rogan, I would like to hear more about this.

[Profuse_Vertigo]

3 years of research, “I believe it’s how it’s said” sounds about right

[Gyochi]

Thatd be a cool horror movie, not enough fruit grew in the Eden bowl so the sloths became carnivores

[blakebrown]

I saw a Giant Sloth skeleton in Missouri and it was just so amazing to see one in real life and how large they were

[lucascorreadl]

Remember that when they roamed south America, jaguars were proportionally bigger, so take care with the cats in that hole 😂

[kernellbcn]

"i had 3 years of research into this" but he isn't sure how it's said? 😂😂😂😂

[StuartHollingsead]

There was one team that went in there about 10 years ago if i remember correct. They made a short documentary about the new animals discovered, but it was mostly small animals.

[BejibiTV]

Manz be working for Professor Oak. Ash and Gary don’t got shyt on his Pokédex

[scottlaidlaw]

“I don’t wanna give away to much information “ proceeds to give us detailed descriptions 😂😂😂😂

[J_Clean_]

This is at least the 10th channel that I've seen this exact short on.

[scrubz]

If people can get there by helicopter, then what is stopping him from exploring it?

[zbelair]

Man, Forrest has been talking about this "bowl" for years, he needs to fucking go and film and release the whole damn thing, it's gonna be so cool even if he doesn't find anything

[jsol_]

For any Pokémon fans this guy is making that place sound like Area Zero

[heathergeiselbrecht]

I've seen a skeleton of a giant sloth...and it was truly terrifying. I can't imagine doing face to face with a living one.

[timzv]

Gimme the money and a ride i go look for it right now. Fuck my job this is better
