00:01Like is this even real? It looks AI generated so I had to dig into this and it's kind of
00:06a trick
00:07question because the fish was real but this video is an animation of a model inspired by a museum
00:12model but why does he look like this? Sacabambaspis, he had armor but no jaws and he went extinct
00:19around 450 million years ago back in the Ordovician period. That is like pre-dinosaurs. The oceans were
00:25basically running the planet and a lot of life was just weird little sea creatures doing their
00:29best and so naturally I was like show me the fossil but brace yourself because the fossil is just
00:36this weird pancake blob with like some armor texture. I get that paleontologists don't have
00:43a perfectly preserved body with all the soft tissues. All they get is the hard parts like
00:47plates and impressions and then they have to compare that to related species and modern anatomy
00:51to build a most likely model which brings us to this. This fish is literally the embodiment of
00:59Scientifically, he probably looked like a slender tadpole with a pancake flat body, a huge head with
01:04armor, long tail and these weird forward-facing headlight eyes. Emotionally, I think he looks
01:09like his head is so empty it doesn't even have bones. Though he does have bones, just no jawbone.
01:15So
