Age of Monsters: The Late Cretaceous

- čas přidán 30. 01. 2023
- In the Late Cretaceous, hundreds of extraordinary, prehistoric creatures roamed the Earth. Armored dinosaurs battled against ferocious, bipedal predators. Flying reptiles soared through the skies, while giant, marine animals dominated the Earth’s rivers and oceans. But why don’t these huge Cretaceous species exist in the world today?

This is a Kurzgesagt-like channel. You know how JCS spawned a whole genre of videos on youtube. I hope more channels like this emerge that are this well animated and informative.
I'm just gonna tag this on here. Apparantly Kurzgesagt has some shady biases in some of their videos so don't believe everything they say. I don't know enough about it to say more so I recommend you look it up yourself. Something about them being heavily funded (sponsored) by primarily the same companies who's solutions to the problems in the video they often show in a favourable light or something. There are a few videos on yt about it
@@VitaeLibra honestly that sounds like a conspiracy theory without any proof.
@@nogoodgod4915 I really don't know enough about it to make a proper opinion. I just know that the video I saw made some good arguments as well as the feedback and criticism on that video being highly positive. It's not that Kurzgesagt videos are complete lies. One of the main points the video made was that when talking solutions it was for example less direct stuff like always including solutions that the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, one of their biggest sponsors, had invested in. Another one was that a lot of the sources they drew on tended to be from studies funded by their sponsors. Again, not necessarily lies but more subtle stuff. I'd still rather you check out that video rather than me repeating them based on memory. For the record I like Kurzgesagt as much as the next person. Watched almost all of their videos. I don't want it to be true and even if/though it is I'll continue watching their videos. My point is just to be critical and not to fall into the self reinforcing belief/trap that because you like them they must be speaking the absolute truth. I know it sucks to never have a safe space where you can let your guard down and if you want to continue watching them without worrying thrn do that. I'd simply recommend checking the very end of their video because they don't state outright when they are being sponsored (another move often considered shady if your content isn't being influenced by the sponsor). Even if Kurzgesagt is a perfectly good channel a few things they do really do look shady. Even if it's nothing. Sorry if it came across as conspiratorial. Not my intention to make up unfounded objections. I really am a fan of their work. Still am
Kurzgesagt funded by big capitalist for propaganda, but of course, simple minds love colorful animation not the truth, that is enough with them.
@@VitaeLibra They have always been open about who they get sponsored by. In fact they usually put the sponsors name dead center in the video.
You watch one video and decide that now this channel that has been doing this for a decade is bs all of a sudden? Did you even do your own research or just take what this other video said as the truth? If you are so confident that Kurzgesagt lied to millions of people and showed them propaganda, how are you so sure that this video you watched isn't lying also?
What if this other video lied? What if this other video mislead the viewers?
You know there are people out there that make a living by doing rage-bait videos and "exposing" a 20M subscriber channel is exactly what will get them views and money from ads.
Kurzgesagt has always been open to who their sponsors are, they have always cited their sources for the videos and they never tried to lie or "share propaganda" to anyone.
They are a business and they do what any business does. You think Apple or Amazon are truthful and don't lie to people? You think Apple doesn't abuse 12 year olds in sweatshops to make their phones? You still buy them.
Kurzgesagt makes incredibly well animated and researched videos and at the very least they actually do some good in this world by inspiring generations of people to become scientists or scientifically curious.
The search for alien life excites me due to the fact that a planet out there could still be in an era like this
Same. It's amazing to think that these are the original inhabitants of earth. They're "Earthlings", not us.
@@wowandrss it’s quite frustrating to think that evolution reached nearly its peak 66 million years ago, and was brought back to an extremely low level, and it took 66 million years to get back to that level, but in a completely different field. Those respective fields being; immense strength both offensive and defensive for the dinosaurs, and hyperintelligence for primates. It was their planet and it was stolen from them.
@@iwantmykidssusan4941Technically it wasn't immense strength for dinosaurs and intelligence for mammals. The majority of dinosaurs weren't big o strong, and many of them had a great intelligence level (we knew it thanks to our current scanning technology, despite the fact that we have still a lot to learn about them), while a lot of mammals are very big but they have a low IQ level. Evolution gives both qualities to both the families, simply it gives them to different species. Also... yes, this was their world, but if you think about it they too stole this world from the Permian creatures, that in their turn stole it to the amphibians, etc. This is how life works, and if it doesn't work in this way we wouldn't be here now
@@fabriziobiancucci7702 yeah those are natural causes, I was referring to the fact that nothing in evolution can help protect against a 1,000,000 ton rock falling on your head.
@@iwantmykidssusan4941 Technically it's not true. Evolution isn't a process that goes to biggest form, or more intelligent form. Evolution is just survival of the fittest. If a species isn't adapt to an enviroment, it dies. And asteroids are part of the environment. In fact, while many animal species died out in the KT event, many others didn't even notice the impact. That means they were more adapt for that event. So, evolution can protect you from asteroids. Oh, and also, the asteroid wasn't 1 million tons, it was at least 2 trillion tons
Koranos' narrator can lull me to sleep anytime with his calm, informative voice. Just in time too; I was looking for something to drift asleep to.
Another spectacular video!
Jesus your visuals are as accurate as 2015's JW
This channel deserves so many more followers. Stunning visuals & captivating topics. I love these!!
Thank you!
@@Koranos isn't this a re-upload
@@Koranos why do you only release content 3 times a year?
@@Vega_Sports it's not easy to animate and edit people have personal lifes too
If you’re small enough every age is the age of monsters
My favorite YT channel. Amazing video
Amazing animations as always
Amazing, keep up the good work !
I love the graphics and artstyles, keep it up! 💖
Interesting information, awesome narrator and stunning animations. Amazing video!
Finally something new! Great work, keep it up!
One of my favorites channels 🔥🔥
the fact that there's more than just Kurzgesaght to watch , warms my heart
You know it's gonna be a delightful day when Koranos uploads
Beautiful animation as always
this channel is criminally underrated!
Absolute banger, perfect animation, beautiful :)
I've always been in love with dinosaurs ever since I was a kid, Blessed Be.
Amazing video!
Very glad to see a new video from you guys 🔥💯
Oh yes, another great upload by Koranos, I was wondering if it would be long, missed you, guys.
Return of the King 👑
What a coincidence, yesterday I looked up your channel and was worried you guys might stopped uploading videos lol.
Feedback: Could you guys please be more transparent? Like where are you guys from? Why did you start this channel? Who are the people running the channel? In my opinion, these are things that makes it harder to connect to you guys, as compared to Kurzgesagt. With Kurz I feel like they're my family, and I love their works because they're honest and transparent. However with this channel I know nothing about it, except that you guys make nice videos lol.
I would also appreciate it if you guys sourced your sources more neatly. Most people wont read the sources, however it just makes it feel easier to connect with you guys if we know that you are credible, with good sources.
Glad to see a new video!
Great video
I love every videos. Thanks!
Keep up the awesome vids!
Nice animation.. I hope this channel gets more attention.
Very well done!
Finally a new video!!
Finally my 3rd favorite CZcamsr is back
#2 Vsauce #1 nigahiga
Really amazing content! Keep it up
Incredibly Nice 💜💜
Its been awhile, koranos is a very underrated channel.
How many inaccuracies would you like?
This channel: YES
You haven't seen a bright side video on dinosaurs have you ? It's worse, sure there are some mistakes and outdated tropes here but it can be worse
@@above7793 considering Bright Side's video was uploaded years ago i expect more for a 'scientific' channel like this with the fact that it was uploaded not too long ago
Welcome back!!
Heck yeah! I just made dinner and needed something to watch while I eat.
Wait so we did T Rex dirty when everyone suddenly (and wrongly) decided he was actually a giant vulture??
Honesty, I prefer Giant Death Turkey TRex
T-rexes ancestors likely were giant vultures but once the T-rex reached a certain weight it lost it's feathers (in most places). It's believed that most of them still have a couple patches on them.
@@MaxSuc I think he is referring to the scavenger Vs hunter debate rather than "how much plumage an adult T-Rex had"
Dino vid! Gonna be a good time I imagine
Nice
I would like to see more mythology videos , Hope you will consider making some .. 🙂
WOWW A NEW VIDEO WHAT A GREAT DAY!
Inaccurate Dinosaurs. Are you serious? Now people are gonna see this and think thats what dinosaurs looked like. Make. Them. Accurate.
Love Paleontology 🍁
Welcome back 😆
Great this is how I end the day today. Lonely.
Please make a video about LLMs
Missed the comet ☄️ cloudy weather for 3 days
Good.
You always stimulate a tremendous evolutionary growth in me. That's hot.
Other than the outdated depictions this vid is good
dang that final phrase
"Last great age of monsters" to be fair, the Blue Whale continues to be the biggest known animal to ever live.
Any age of humans is the age of the monsters lol
@@KristinkaAranova I mean, humans aren't exceptional by any metric in regards to that.
@@nickmalachai2227 Oh we absolutely are. We are the worst virus to ever inhabit this planet.
@@pdxcorgidad that attitude is unscientific puritan bullshit, frankly. Get better sources for scientific information than a bad guy speech in The Matrix.
It is factual that humans are a significant mass extinction event, and it is factual that what we are doing is drastically reducing biodiversity and threatening to plunge the earth into an ecological disaster, but I will not tolerate turning an actual crisis into some "oh we were always evil so we can't do anything about it (except maybe all of us die off)" American Evangelical propaganda piece.
We can coexist with the biosphere without harming it (and even benefitting it, as we are still a part of the ecosystem, and have been for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years). We can reduce and, in some cases, reverse the harm we've let our worse members do, and it will be hard, but we can make the world better. We've just got to organize, act, and care about our world, rather than give up and hide behind the convenient delusion of doomerism.
@@KristinkaAranovaIf we are monsters, than any other creatures in the universe is a monster. We do exactly what other species do, the only difference is that bevause we are a lot and we have a great intelligence we do it on a large scale. Indeed, we are better than the other species, because at least we tried to change. For other species things like war, rape, killing and all the things that we consider crimes are the normality; at least we tried to stop them
Please post more
The matter of which was the largest meat eating dinosaur is still up for debate. Although spinosaurus is a contender for the largest it’s not certain that it is. The fossils of that species we’ve recovered are few and quite fragmentary compared to those of T-rex which we have plenty of. So the exact size that species could reach is really hard to determine. As studies have suggested that spinosaurus could have grown to be between 12-15 metres long.
In any case fossils don’t necessarily represent an accurate depiction as to how large these animals are. The fossils have been subject to pressures for millions of years from the surrounding earth around them, causing them to come out in different shapes to what they originally were.
Spinosaurus may have been longer than other predatory dinosaurs but it likely didn’t have the same bulk and width of a fully grown t-Rex. Meaning t-Rex very well may have had just more mass.
Just saying.
It did have more mass. T-Rex was the largest predator of all- time
@@chrismarkovich1675 land predator*
@@hex9077 thank you for corrected me…for the record I did mean “land predator” my bad lol 😂
we need a mascot! like how kurzgesagt has ducks and birds as it’s primary feature that defines itself as kurzgesagt.
Oh how I’ve missed you
The video is overall pretty good, particularly the part explaining how tyrannosaurs first appeared in Asia.
However, some nitpicks I have are the design of the mosasaurus - being more like the Jurassic World mosasaurus than an actual mosasaurus - and the problem with spinosaurus being the largest theropod (that design is so good though, finally a video that doesnt use 20 year old depictions). Spinosaurus is definetely longer, but the size of animals is determined by mass/weight. Spinosaurus is estimated at 7-8 tons while the largest tyrannosaur estimates are at 10 tons. Do we call a giraffe bigger than an African elephant just because it is taller? No. Do we call an anaconda bigger because it is longer? No.
Spinosaurus wasn't the largest carnivore. It weighed less than tyrannosaurus meaning it was smaller. It was *longer* but not *larger.*
Oh yess its been months!!
7:54
I saw it 1 time before. Are you reupload this video?
Yes, but we made a lot of mistakes last time and needed to fix it.
Was there even grasslands for a t.rex to hunt in?
True grasslands have only been around for like 5 million years if im not mistaken.
Grasses started to appear in the late Cretaceous, although not nearly as spread as today. So grasses have been here for a lot more than 5 million years.
I hope everything is well for the creators of this channel. It has been a while
4:50
Dear creators... From this scene Spinosaurus reconstruction isn't actual... This is reconstruction from 2014. New discovers show to us new shape of tail.
Non professional research...
well that and like the 20 featherless raptors and the jurassic world mosa design being used, most of the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures are shown with inaccurate visuals
i dont understand. why dont you have at least a mil subs
Don't ever bring Spinosaurus into a video. It will be completely wrong before the video is released. Never play Free Bird lol
4:48 fun fact: that fish from more than 100 million years ago still lives on our planet. It's a living fossil
5:12 "Tyrannosaurus-Rex Terrorized" hehe beast wars Megatron
Lovely animation and narration but it's a shame that you used very outdated depictions of dinosaurs
Trike da best
Monsters still roam the earth. They're just not as large.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT SPINOSAURUS IS BIGER THAN T.rex, spinosaurus could reach 7.4 metric tons and T.rex could reach a larger 8.87 metric tons, longer isn't larger, taller isn't larger, heavier is larger.
And some dinosaurs don't have the wright feather covering or not enough feather covering, but it's still a good video none the less
What is this? Off brand Kurzgesagt?
No.
Unfortunate this video didn't utilize the most up-to-date information regarding Spinosaurus and its likely inability to survive in the water as a semi-aquatic dinosaur.
That pendulum changes every few months. Give it a few months and he will be accurate
Dinosaurs were just animals they weren't monsters
Kurzegagt 2 strikes IGAIN!
👋🙏
Really featherless dromeosaurs
Moderate quibble: you mentioned grasslands a few times, but grass didn't evolve until after the dinosaurs all died out.
Huh! Thank you. I learned something today.
Clarifaction: Grass did exist during the Cretaceous, but was far less common than it is today. We have fossilized evidence of grass in fossilized Titanosaur excrement, though, which means that it was a part of the diet of at least some plant-eating Dinosaurs by the end of the Cretaceous. It is true that grasslands, as a biome, did not exist during the Cretaceous, and that is a major issue in many depictions of Mesozoic ecosystems.
Mom… Kurzgesagt is making a sequel
Are people done with commenting this yet?
there is a spoon.
to think that all that remains of trex are mere chickens 🤦♂️
i wanna see two trex fighting eachother but guess I'll have to settle for chicken fights
Tf is that even supposed to mean? If you're talking about feathers, Tyrannosaurus, most likely didn't have feathers due to the mass and climate in which he lived. Although juveniles (most likely) had plumage that would become scarce, hair-like "feathers" in adults. About the fight thing, Tyrannosaurus (and any dinosaur for that matter) wasn't a monster. It was an animal. Of course fights between members of the same species would be inavitable, it would be rare and avoided. Why would they risk get injured for absolutely no reason?!
This video gonna be out of date in a year or two due to spinosaurous
Hell it was out of date when they released it.
Not even adding the title card to the videos anymore
When is there going to be a video on the transition between Dina’s ours and todays non-avian dinosaurs. There is never a video on that. It’s always one or the other.
birds evolved during the jurrassic long before the kt extinction.
Is it accurate to call Dinosaurs "Giant Reptiles" ?
"Big chickens" is more accurate.
Technically yes. Paleontologically talking, even birds are "reptiles". Indeed, paleontologically talking, all of us are fish
The late jurrasic and cretaceous had the worst monsters on land but in the oceans i would say maybe the late jurrassic with the giant ichthyosaurs but definitely the worst era as far as fossils we have found was 20 to 3 million years ago so far more recent, when the dreaded levyiatans hunted in packs, and the mighty megaladon brought death from below.
Definitely a very interesting video. My new video will involve your topic. I just hope I can reach the level of subscribers and views your channel has 😂🙏
There animals not monsters!
Please don't be like kurzgetsagt in the wY they don't show who they are backed by
First off, they do. Second off this channel isn't like Kurzgesagt, hate to burst your bubble. Also quit bringing up Kurzgesagt, it's annoying.
Why do all these channels always regurgitate the same mainstream disinformation?
🚬🗿
Stop saying reptiles please. Dinosaurs aren't reptiles. For example Dinosaurs where warm blooded and the positioning of their limbs made them Dinosaurs not reptiles...
Paleontologically talking, dinosaurs were reptiles. They are considered reptiles. Technically, paleontologically talking, even birds are "reptiles", since birds are dinosaurs and dinosaurs were reptiles. I know, it's difficult and complicated, but keep in mind that the classification of reptiles, birds, mammals and all the others is made with animals that exist today. But paleontologically speaking were is the transition between a reptile and a mammal? Dinosaurs weren't completely warm blooded, so we can't consider them birds, but they weren't completely cold blooded too, so what they are? Today we still consider them reptiles (that's why paleontologically talking birds are reptiles. But after all, plaeontologically talking, all of us are just fish)
Instead of tracing dinosaur pngs of google, why not hire ACTUAL PALEOARTIST?!
theyre so anatomically incorrect yikes
First!
