This is pretty neat. The sizes of some of the animals are off (too large) but it is intriguing nonetheless. The species gradually increase in size as the video plays. The list of species is in the video description rather than on the video itself which is a bit annoying.
You mean Dinopithecus ingens? No. As previously mentioned by Chli, quite a bunch of the sizes are "slightly" exaggerated.
maybe a young Cave Bear. But, no, there are some exaggerations in the video, probably simply through the animator not fact-checking properly rather than being deliberately misleading. Dinopithecus ingens is usually said to be 1.5 metres high, which would be about twice the size of a living baboon (according to what I just looked up on the internet that would be up to 0.7 metres high, either standing or at the shoulder - it seems to be much the same height in either case) but illustrators tend to draw monstrous baboons. I found a photo (below) which may be closer to the size of a male Dinopithecus. On the other hand, estimated weights I've seen for Dinopithecus seem pretty low at 40kg. https://i2.kknews.cc/large/1c5c00069d969f34afd9
A very good video whose content is not often shown. I had never known a video like this existed before I found it. As a fan of paleontology myself though, there are many animals that could have been included though I would've liked to see such as: Megistotherium Ngandong Tiger (Panthera tigris soloensis) Hippopotamus gorgops Pelorovis Giant Cheetah (Acinonyx pardinensis) Machairodus Syrian Camel (Camelus moreli) Palaeeudyptes Pelagornis Argentavis Titanis Sivapithecus Archaeoindris Nakalipithecus Tyrant Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus tyrannus) Josephoartigasia Giant Hyena (Pachycrocuta) Purussaurus Pygmy Elephant (Palaeoloxodon falconeri) Sarkastodon Patriofelis Megalochelys Dwarf Ground Sloth (Megalocnus) Falkland Islands Wolf (Dusicyon australis) Dwarf Panda (Ailuropoda minor)
Here's some that I thought of Quinkana Titanotylopus Trilophosuchus Teratornis Ambulocetus Eurotamandua Enarliarctos Eremotherium
An interesting mixture of up to date, out of date and exaggerated. Hopping sthenurines? Quadropedal megatheres? Very tired. Andrewsarchus as an artiodactyl? Very wired. The giant baboon for example is oversized: wtf it is bigger than the Gigantopithecus, whose size is entirely speculative at that... The coolest fossil animals people don't know about - Paradolichopithecus, Hyaenodon, Patriofelis, Thalassocnus, Macroeuphractus, Stylinodon and the like.
