Could Giant Mammals Survive the Cretaceous Period?
zhlédnutí 28KPřed dnem
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...
These Were The Biggest Land Predators Ever
zhlédnutí 86KPřed 21 dnem
Megatheropods were the most powerful terrestrial carnivores in Earth's long history, and recent studies show that theropods like Tyrannosaurus may have been bigger than expected. The Mesozoic was a beautiful nightmare, and the rulers of that nightmare realm were the megatheropods: bipedal dinosaurs closely related to birds but bigger than African elephants. The elite group includes household na...
The Worst Ways Prehistoric Animals Could End You
zhlédnutí 125KPřed měsícem
From bone-crushing jaws to tail spikes the size of swords, prehistoric animals developed some of the deadliest weapons in natural history. This video explores the insane weaponry of extinct animals, including the hydraulic press bite of Tyrannosaurus, the sickle claws of dromaeosaurs and terror birds, the meter-long thagomizers of stegosaurs, the powerful paws of Arctodus simus, the pincers of ...
How Dinosaurs Grew (Including The Biggest Tyrannosaurus Ever Discovered)
zhlédnutí 20KPřed měsícem
Dinosaurs were an incredibly diverse group even discounting the thousands of bird species nested within Theropoda, and they utilized a variety of growth mechanisms and life history strategies that changed according to the animal’s niche. But how do we tell how quickly an animal grew or how old it was when it died? This is where we use histology, or the subfield of biology concerned with studyin...
How Fast Was Tyrannosaurus rex? Tyrannosaurus Speed Explained

How fast was Tyrannosaurus? Dinosaur speed is a complex biomechanical question, and paleontology is always advancing. Could a human outrun a Tyrannosaurus? We all know the iconic scene in Jurassic Park when Rexy is in hot pursuit of the Jeep, but how realistic is it? Could a ten-tonne bipedal predator really run at the 32 miles per hour that John Hammond claimed, or was that movie magic? If not...

The World's Biggest Predator Wasn't Fully Grown
zhlédnutí 319KPřed 4 měsíci
Imagine a macropredator the size of a blue whale. The biggest predator was likely a macropredatory icthyosaur! Ichthyotitan severnensis and the Aust Colossus were candidates for predators bigger than a blue whale or close to it. Prehistoric ocean predators existed on a different scale than modern oceans. Ichthyotitan is known from the Lilstock Monster and Blue Anchor specimens, and were likely ...
This Brazilian Theropod May Have Been The Biggest Ever... If It Was A Theropod At All
zhlédnutí 47KPřed 4 měsíci
It seems like every few years the news cycle explodes with another new giant theropod set on dethroning Tyrannosaurus. The 90s were full of giant carcharodontosaurid hype and the early 2000s had Spinosaurus as their sweetheart. In 2024, Tyrannosaurus appears to be the reigning champion with its biggest representatives at 10-12 tonnes but a new challenger approaches, this time from the Early Cre...
Prehistoric Trauma: Insane Injuries That Dinosaurs Survived

Dinosaurs were built to take punishment, and their injuries ranged from fractured ribs to broken necks. The Mesozoic included the largest terrestrial predators ever, the megatheropods, as well as the sauropods, which were an order of magnitude larger than most elephants. In such a dangerous, titan-filled world, injuries were inevitable. This video analyzes wounds that we know dinosaurs healed f...

Could Giant Mammals Survive the Triassic Period?
Triceratops had a ball and socket joint at the base of its skull. As far as I know it is the only vertebrate to evolve such a socket in its spinal column. Combined with the ability to turn its head quickly would make it an incredibly agile fencer. The frill was 2 or more inches of solid non-porous bone covered with flesh and 1cm thick keratibous scales.
Is this real? Another challenge for tyrannosaurus-rex
I've seen Scotty in person for a school field trip. I didn't realize we had the biggest Trex specimen.
My man actually used Steve Irwin's shadow profile as a reference to crocodile size
Ever heard of the “ dinosaurs aren’t real “ people😂 I watch this video and think of them meeting these fates😂 there’s something wrong wit me.. Also I hope J -hole- opterus makes the list🙏
this was so facinating
Elephant looks way to small in this picture, considering it overlaps in weight with many of these dinosaurs. Some of these genuinely look they could be 2x the weight.
rlly appreciate the type and completeness of the fossils that provide valuable infor about the anatomy, physiology, its growth and development!
"milimeteErs thick"
The Wyoming Crotch Shot had me ugly snorting and laughing. The Jurassic, oh what a time for absolutely metal dinosaur injuries
2:00 "Credit: BBC. But you probably guessed that" LOL
The question is, however, was the speed of Sue an estimate, or measured during the necromancy incident in Chicago a few years back?

The speculative evolution segment has less to do with evolution and more to do with divine intervention.
I believe that Mother Goddess Eywa foresaw the human invasion from the movies, so She warped those Spinosaurs through space and time to Pandora because She felt a need to fortify the moon in advance.
The fact we now have 2 specimens around 12 metric tonnes and 2 more over 10T with multiple other 8-9T specimens as well, suggests this thing really must have gotten ridiculous at the extremes.
animals that had giant heads and literally useless forelimbs evolved fuckin pointlessly.
15:56 But as Goji Center phrased it, if any proboscidean was to enter Late Cretaceous North America, it would have to be Palaeoloxodon namadicus, antiquus, or recki.
How unbelievably lucky is it that the animals that occupy these nieches now seem to actively like us.
Bubbles(PPG) would sure wanna cuddle with those SEA beasts.

Good video. Deinochirus seems to have a very vulnerable neck.
its powerful breathing system allowed it to sustain these high levels of exertion for extended periods of time!
what an incredibly formidable predator! possessing a combination of strength, speed, and agility that made it one of the most powerful and feared creatures on the earth.
dinos were incredibly tough and able to survive even the most severe injuries. this makes them amazing creatures and incredible resilience on earth
Before 2001: trex is da strongest 2001 to 2015: spinosaurus is da strongest 2015 to 2019: giga is da strongest 2020 to 2024: trex is da strongest
No wonder they were extinct bro.. Why are scientists trying to bring these mfs back????.. they went extinct for a reason- LIKE STOP PLAYING GOD- DID JURASSIC PARK TEACH YOU ANYTHING???
These #'s seem a tad.........outrageous.
Did the Dunky have bones in its eyes? All skull fossils always have this round bony eye in them...how armoured was that fish.?
Bigger 🌊, bigger sea life.
Can a saurapod use its neck like giraffes I wonder?
video starts at 4:00
In my opinion, i think why Tarbo and Theri is not included is bc they're also holotypes and not really fully studied which means those specimens are not full grown specimens... Another of my opinion is that Tarbo might be able to reach 8 tonnes, Therizinosaurus might also reach 7.9 tonnes to 8.7 tonnes...
Reason behind Therizinosaurus & Tarbosaurus aren't in top 9 Therizinosaurus: 5.5 tonnes or 5,542 kgs Tarbosaurus: 5.4 tonnes or 5,392 kgs
@@monsterzero521 bc they're also holotype skeletons and fragments like I said, the scientists do not know what those real creatures would look like if he fossils are complete so you have a point too.!
@@monsterzero521 they would be included yet since we don't know much of them, the scientists did not even speculate or had announced if the Tarbo and theri were fully grown specimen skeletons...
@@niquisshadelasada162 we don't know much about any giant theropods except for the T rex. So that applies to Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Tyrannotitan which are in the top 9
@@monsterzero521 yes

The Great Claw is definitely my favorite
Deinocheirus is unique among ornithomimosaurians bc it had very long front legs, they look unique tho
The elephant messed with the time machine a little too much
