A águia que matava aves gigantes - MUNDO DOS MORTOS EP. 2

Welcome to the second part of the World of the Dead project! In this episode, I (Johnny/Mingau) continue the hours-long chat with my paleoartist friends to analyze the behind-the-scenes of incredible art and delve into the science, history, and curiosities of the beings that inhabited our planet. What you will discover in this episode: The controversy behind Haast's Eagle: Why does the name of this giant New Zealand bird carry such a tragic history of injustice, and why should it be called by its Maori name (Pouakai) or simply the Giant Eagle of New Zealand? How did this relentless flying predator hunt the massive giant Moas using only the force of the impact of its talons? The Microworld of the Crato Formation: A detailed analysis of Leo's art, focusing on beings that often go unnoticed in Paleoart. The Hunt in the Cretaceous: Meet a fossil camel/solifuge spider preying on an insect nymph at dawn in Araripe. Botanical Invisibility and Evolution: Why do we neglect plants in natural history and how do some animal groups seem to have changed almost not at all over millions of years?
