Could Giant Mammals Survive the Cretaceous Period?

What if giant mammals coexisted with dinosaurs? How would mammoths, ground sloths, saber-tooth cats, and more Cenozoic giants fare in the Late Cretaceous? Prehistoric megafauna in the Cretaceous were extraordinarily dangerous. This video analyzes ten megamammals and their chances of surviving in the Hell Creek formation of North America. We look at Smilodon, Elasmotherium, Megatherium, Livyatan, Perucetus, Arctodus simus, Mammuthus columbi, Gigantopithecus, Daeodon, and Paraceratherium. We analyze their ability to find food, adjust to the environment, deal with competition, and avoid the terrifying Cretaceous predators, and rank each of them on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of survivability. They’ll confront Mesozoic natives like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Ankylosaurus, dromaeosaurs, and other ancient creatures. This speculative ecology analysis is the third episode in the series examining if Cenozoic giant mammals could survive the Mesozoic. How would they respond to a Cretaceous environment dominated by huge ceratopsians, hadrosaurs, and megatheropods? Could they survive the apex predator, Tyrannosaurus? 00:00: Tusks vs Teeth 00:52: What Was The Hell Creek Paleoenvironment Like? 02:15: Smilodon populator 04:23: Elasmotherium caucasicum 06:51: Megatherium americanum 08:11: Livyatan melvillei 09:10: Perucetus colossus 09:46: Arctodus simus 11:45: Mammuthus columbi 16:08: Gigantopithecus blacki 17:11: Daeodon shoshonensis 18:20: Paraceratherium asiaticum 19:48: Could Giant Mammals Survive Hell Creek?
