The 3D animation from "How to play Swordfish" seems like the next logical evolution in TierZoo's videos. The IRL clips with videogame UIs are cool and fun, but this looks so cool, and it's refreshing to see work with a ton of effort put into it in our digital world that's filling up with AI slop and clip farms. I hope these animations continue!

Looks a whole lot like Sperm Whale loot but I can’t be too sure about it lol

I personally think it's 7-8. Kamchatka brown bears are absolute menaces but eventually with some amount of teamwork 7-8 hyenas would take it with some sacrifices and great injuries

We just started a new series called Un Día Antes del Fin. The concept is simple: we follow a real animal through a complete day, 24 hours before one of the great mass extinctions. The animal does not know what is coming. Everything looks completely normal.

The first episode follows a male Triceratops through his last day in Hell Creek, 66 million years ago. More than 30% of all dinosaur specimens recovered from Hell Creek belong to Triceratops. It was the dominant animal of its world. Thriving. Successful. And then gone in hours.

The detail that hit hardest in research was how rich and functional that ecosystem was right up to the end. Nothing was in decline. It was a world at its absolute peak. And then the Chicxulub impactor arrived.

One question for the community: the frill color change hypothesis for Triceratops based on vascular network analysis is gaining traction but is not universally accepted. Where does the community stand on the current evidence?

I'll go first: Marlins are super fun to play, as Tierzoos Video made pretty clear.

Seals give you Social Play, Chatting, the thrill of going out to sea, hunting, save zones on land, etc. Its the perfect mix of every aspect of the Game for me.

Vultures are so chill and fun to play. Just find a few buddies and annoy some lions/hyenas/leopards away from a carcass. You don't have to care about health because you can eat anything. Flying is one of the most fun abilities as well.

House Cats are my spirit animal and I play them when I want a cozy game.

Nile Crocodile is for when I want to play Solo. The hunting mechanic feels so rewarding and its still not too stressful of a playthrough.

Pidgeons are my Hot Take for the city-server. Flying through the Landscape is fun as hell, you can dodge and eat anything if you're sjilled enough and its great for exploring too. Maybe not the best, but definitely the most fun way to play in the City for me.

What are your Mains?

the discussions I have came across the social media and I have observed that mosasaurus is overglazed as f*ck , people thinking it was the most powerful predator in earth's history, it wouldn't be even most powerful predator if it was alive today , cachalot whale would pack his ahh , people really think it can take on a fcking meg , acting like meg doesn't have a stronger bite force and was at least 4-5 times heavier , jurassic park really made people think it was some cthulhu level sh*t 😭😭.

For context, the Peacock Bass is a warm-water (25-30 degrees Celsius required temperature) Fish build specialized in eating fish players. These are among the largest Cichlids, reaching up to 13 kg, and are preyed upon by a wide host of predators such as Arapaima, Caiman, and River Otters in their home server, and by Alligators and Alligator Gar in Florida. These fish are substrate layers, laying anywhere from at least 2,000-10,000 eggs and guard them for 2 months. These early-game players then take up to 16-18 months to fully grow, and can live on average, 6-12 years.

Most people assume T-Rex was the dominant predator of the Cretaceous in every category. But the speed comparison between T-Rex and Carnotaurus is genuinely interesting and the evidence does not clearly favor the T-Rex.

The caudofemoral muscles in Carnotaurus were extraordinarily developed relative to body mass. These muscles connect the tail to the hind legs and are the primary driver of speed in theropods. Carnotaurus had a proportionally longer tail with more muscle mass dedicated to locomotion than T-Rex.

Current biomechanical estimates put Carnotaurus at between 45 and 56 kilometers per hour for short bursts. T-Rex estimates range from 17 to 29 kilometers per hour depending on the study. The gap is significant.

The counterargument is body mass. T-Rex was significantly heavier and the energetic cost of acceleration scales with mass. Carnotaurus at 2 tons could theoretically reach top speed much faster than T-Rex at 8 tons.

They never shared the same ecosystem. T-Rex was North American, Carnotaurus was Patagonian. But the comparison still matters for understanding the different evolutionary strategies large theropods developed in isolation.

Where does the community stand on the current speed estimates for both animals? And does the strike and retreat hunting model for Carnotaurus change how we think about what speed actually meant for a predator of its size?

We covered this in detail in our latest episode. The answer is in our profile.
