The Island of Shrinking Mammoths

I want to know about these Swans that hunt Elephants! 😂

what about the island scrub-jay

Why did the Mammoth swim to the island? The grass was greener.

2:40 sounds like global warming happened over and over those mega mammals farted too much !!!!

Can foster's rule apply to humans also?? Is this why people like from the philippines are small in size?

at 8:27 you have Norfolk island pines, I don't think they were present in california at this time period

Can do the island of mini dinosaurs of Europe?

Tusk!! Tusk!!

Humans, making species extinct since forever

Japaneses before late 20th century

Evolution gets weird on islands.

Smol mammoth

Mammoths: This place is so safe. There is no predatos here. Such a peaceful island.Humans: I am about to end this man's whole career.

Pigmy elephants also lived on Malta.

all of the mammoths look so sweet and friendly

Treetrunks!

u think the mammoths were like "hey i dare you to swim out to that island" "no way, you do it with me" "ok fine"

It would be cool to do an episode on the waco mammoths

The island of Kodiac has a giant breed of Brown bear. My answer, as to which breed of bear is the largest was declared wrong. This lost me $80,000 in a TV quiz some thirty years back.

I love the content of these but the presenter's voice makes my teeth ache! Got to go because she's giving me a migraine :(

Are mammoths just old elephants? I thought all of them where bigger and had thick fur!Edit: I googled it, and it turns out that Mammoths, African Elephants, and Asian Elephants are three distinct groups of Eliphantidae. When you see them side by side it's easy to see the differences. Mastodons are a complete other thing too.

I've seen smaller. Source: Journey 2: the Mysterious Island.

E-pac....not epic..

is it just me that the mammoths look like they are smiling?

Why do humans kill everything?

dude thank you so much... whats funny is I CAME UP WITH SAME THEORY WITHOUT READING BOOKS IN MY UNDERWEAR ON MY OWN ISLAND... insular dwarfism is my favorite, most exciting phenomena... i was actually going to ask for you to make a video about this.

Off-topic, but her makeup and outfit look really nice together and match her well

Look out! King Island emu at 10:03

Very close to my home at Goslar/Germany a dwarfed sauropode was discovered. The fossil dates back 154m years when the place was an island in an ocean (near Braunschweig about 30 km from here a number of ichtiosuars have been dug up. ).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europasaurus

Did you have to make them look so damn cute?

3:47 plossible

Yeah, it’s her, I’ve tried but can’t with her voice

I've heard Sri Lankan leopards are a lot bigger than leopards in geographies that also house bigger predators like India and Africa.

Imagine growing up as an early human on any of the Channel Islands, knowing nothing but the island and the barrier of water encapsulating it....the little mammoths, the isolation...I bet it was a life like nobody but perhapsthe residents of the isolated island...North Sentinel Island...off India could understand

Also, when the pigmy mammoths were eaten by cavemen, they said, "Mmmm. These pigmy mammoths taste so insular."

The real question is why the hell that swan is attacking that little mammoth? Is that ancient swan carnivorous?

This was explained in the Discovery Channel show 'Pod's Travels'

i went to santa cruz island for a field studies collaborative through my high school and i gave a presentation on the pygmy mammoth!

I saw videos of existing mammoth in Siberia. They are not recent but they should still be alive. One was crossing a river and the other was near a building it turned and walked away through the snow. They are not the tall ones of the Americas. The one in the snow had a straight back still it was large but not as big as it's American cousin.

Fun theory: The very large Komodo dragon might be an example of an island dwarf. The extinct megalania lizard, which is similar to the Komodo dragon, was much larger.
