Interesting video and thanks for sharing James 😊

Tuatara is a great mention, but specifically because it *isn't* a lizard. Tuatara are the last remaining member of a massive group of reptiles, which did not include lizards. They also aren't prehistoric BUT it's cool to see them mentioned at least

[brandendrew]

❤ injoy watching your videos I find them interesting to watch ❤❤

Living dinosaurs are already a thing, birds are classed as dinosaurs. It also doesn't make them basically living dinosaurs, unless sharks are living dinosaurs? Hybodus, from the Cretaceous, is pretty similar to a good few modern species. Oh and there was just a straight-up list of mako shark species that's gone extinct since, so shortfin mako should be prehistoric too

Prehistoric doesn't mean what y'all think it means, and tuatara have changed since they 'first evolved' bingus

[dragoncat]

Mokele-mbembe is generally described as having legs, not fins. Plesiosaurs also didn't tend to live in basins either way. Mokele-mbembe is likely closer to a small sauropod, which weren't much rarer than the giant ones you've actually heard of

They also would be from the Jurassic not Cretaceous. And extinct but yk, atleast they're prehistoric this time

[dragoncat]

The modern sturgeon has not been around since the early Jurassic, the group of fish we call sturgeons started around the early Jurassic. And being a bigger member of a modern species doesn't make something prehistoric, by definition it is extant and not from pre-history

The channel is officially 10 years old!!!🎉

Amazing that the horseshoe crab's genome has remained stable, without any drift, for 450M years!!

[dragoncat]

'as large as young crocodiles' which species of crocodile and what age? Crocodiles are animals not some divine being that it's unthinkable to hunt 😭

[dragoncat]

Gators aren't even close to the oldest animals on the planet, the earliest crocodilians evolved in the early-mid Triassic. They aren't even the oldest archosaurs by most understandings of the term

[dragoncat]

The continents we currently have aren't exactly old, about the same age as birds. Bit younger depending on when you want to draw the line between Pangaea and modern continents

[dragoncat]

Oh hey first invertebrate of the list, good to see. They're not prehistoric, they're extant, but it's good to see

[BotWhisperer]

Number 10 wholly mammoth.
Followed by surgeons and salamanders and komodo dragons.... 😔

[dragoncat]

Cassowary looks more like a dinosaur than the shoebill but they do look prehistoric atleast. They're not, they're an extant species, but they do look the part so credit where it's due

[anyonebuthillary]

I love horseshoe crabs they’re always at the beach near my house !!

[Juliett-wetc]

Ummmm, dont mammoths have fur and massive tusks??
Really now.🤨🤨

[dragoncat]

'jurassic-era sized' means nothing, animals in the Jurassic didn't undergo some mass gigantism or something, and that's still not a prehistoric creature just an oversized American alligator.

[teddybueffered]

As for a mammoth… I think it could have been if real and cloning project and after getting caught they kill off the animals

[dragoncat]

I like the 'some of the biggest', guys Komodo dragon *is* the biggest lizard. You say so much confidently but that's where you're like it might not quite be the biggest let's just air on the vague side just in case'. And it's not prehistoric, actually they're pretty recent for a lizard. Megalania would be, but it's not megalania and they went extinct so yk

[dragoncat]

Giant salamander is cool but again not prehistoric
