Amazing Dinoworld II, Survivors: A New Theory
What if the asteroid’s impact 66 million years ago did not cause the extinction of dinosaurs? New findings suggest that some dinosaurs could have survived the Impact Winter for generations in Antarctica. Through CGI, follow the story of two juvenile Puertasaurus survivors.

I think it's highly probable that a few dinosaurs did live into the Cenozoic. Extinctions aren't cut and dry events, but more of a gradual dwindling, right?

I agree I don't believe that the Edmontosaurus survived but troodon

It doesn't matter if they survive for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years or even a hundred thousand years after the impact. On a geological time scale, anything less than a million years can be considered near an instant.
The permian-triassic mass extinction happened over the span 50 thousand years or so, and mass extinctions are defined as 75% or more extinctions of existing species within a time span of 2 million years or less.
Dinosaur can survive up to 2 million years after the impact, and it will change nothing. They all died out in the mass extinction.
Also, I have to mention that avian dinosaurs did not survive the mass extinction. In fact, nearly all of them died and became extinct. Back then, the most dominant birds were the primitive opposite birds, they all died out alongside other avian dinosaurs. Only the lineage that became the modern birds survive. It would like as if all primates such as gorrilas, humans, monkeys, etc. all died out, and only Madagascar lemur survived and then evolved into some post primate after a mass extinction.
Therefore, it will be silly to say avian dinosaurs survive the mass executions when close to 100% of them, in fact, did not. Only ancestors of modern birds did.

There's gradual and then there's geologically gradual... If the global climate really did shift rapidly over even a thousand years then most animals would've been killed off, large or small, except for those already reasonably adapted to the new climate and severely upended ecosystems.

I love the long necked ones 🦕

I heard somewhere how a modern chicken skeleton is almost identical to a scaled down tyrannosaurus rex’s.

[@Holmes846]

I wonder if the dinosaurs needed a higher oxygen atmosphere and birds didn't.
The average oxygen content was closer to 30-35% as opposed to today's 20-21%. The asteroid strike stripped a lot of O2 content and released tons of chemicals into the atmosphere, possibly making the survivors suffocate over a period of time. The birds were probably able to adapt to the changes and the dinosaurs didn't.

They lived in jungles, lakes, and opened areas ....

[@troychambliss784]

I have argued this same point forever

[@chuckyfire8439]

I always thought they lived in jungles

A lot of the information in this video is unsubstantiated. We cannot rewind the VCR tape to the beginning and press play on this one.

We all know that Jesus rode on 🦕. They’re suppressing the truth.

[@TheOneAboveAll1369]

So humans were apes before like birds where 🦕

[@dewdrop8642]

I just can't picture a reptile evolving to an amphibian

Rework fossil material momento.

Intelligent guessing or stupid nonsense.
