The BIOGEOGRAPHY of the DINOSAURS
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 05. 2021
- 80 million years ago an entirely different class of animal ruled this Earth. The warmer temperatures allowed reptilians to grow bigger than any animal ever had before, bringing about the age of the Dinosaurs.
But with a natural history spanning more than 180 million years, there's a lot to know about these creatures.

I think it's a cultural thing. Never been fascinated by dinosaurs myself. Yep, there were giant lizards, some of them did fly, most of them were ridiculously large. Humans never met them, so the interest died even if there was one. What fascinated me though was the geography. Countries on the map, capital cities, flags.
Oh, I never watched Jurassic park as a kid - that's the reason.
Wow this covered such a long span. You really outdid yourself on this one. Fantastic video!
I know right?
Oh hello there
lets make a video about THIS on YOUR channel
Why do I keep seeing you comment on all the vids I've been watching the past couple days wtf lmfao
So India split from Madagascar... Does that make it the TRUE lemuria? NO. But it's fun to theorize.
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he said he wasn't interested in dinosaurs as a child?
Like... thats a thing?
i was also not interested in them i thought they were extremely ugly 😭
To be fair, Dinosaurs never got my attention as a kid. I watched the Jurassic Park movies and I enjoyed watching them, but I never find the Dinosaurs interesting.
Now as an adult, I think deeply and look at the animals we have on Earth such as dogs, sharks, snakes, cats, deers, etc. It really made me think, "Did these creatures really existed on Earth?"
I can’t fathom how he wasn’t interested in them. Like WTF?
As a 9 year old (im using my brothers account, so im not technically breaking any youtube rules) i can assure you, being uninterested in dinosaurs is a thing. Its just a bird that turned into KFC over millions of years. Geography is wayy more interesting and im only here to learn how the earths geography affected the dinosaurs and how it might also affect us (if we somehow survive)
@@cattoleonce4066 Geography is not objectively "way more interesting" people have opinions. and saying "It's just a bird that turned into KFC" so you're saying a giant 30 meter long beast that could knock over trees is KFC? an 8 ton superpredator that could crush a car in it's jaws is KFC? That's the dumbest shit I've ever had the displeasure of reading in my life.

Earth is 3 parts Blue one part green-brown.
This isn't his first face reveal. He revealed his face In what are nebulae video. Tho this time his face was clearer.
Some respectful notes on the information from the video (primarily the first part):
- Although Pangea was entirely connected, large interior deserts made it difficult for species to move to new regions. This is why the earliest dinosaurs are almost exclusively found in South America; they didn't spread further until the late Triassic.
- Carnivorous theropods do predate the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, though as stated the top predators of the time were not dinosaurs.
- The Triassic-Jurassic extinction corresponds more closely with the breakup of Pangea than with its formation.
- Although the continents began to separate in the Jurassic, the biogeography was still pretty consistent globally. Sauropods were the dominant herbivores, with some Ornithischians being present, while the dominant predators were Allosaurs and, secondarily, Ceratosaurs. When the biogeographies of Laurasia and Gondwana began to diverge during the Cretaceous, Gondwana kept the same biogeography from the Jurassic (with Allosaurs and Ceratosaurs being replaced by Carcharodontosaurs and Abelisaurs, respectively) while Laurasia developed the diversity of Ornithischians and Coelurosaurs (e.g., Tyrannosaurs and Dromaeosaurs) discussed in the video.
- Spinosaurs, although they could be longer than other large theropods like Tyrannosaurs and Carcharodontosaurs, were more gracile and therefore lighter weight. They would not have required buoyancy to support their body mass. Additionally, Spinosaurs were also found in South America and, in the case of Baryonix, in Europe.
As someone who was (and still is) very interested in dinosaurs, I think biogeography is a useful and interesting lens through which to understand them, and I commend the video for exploring it.
Europe is (again) considered the origin of spinosaurids and Baryonyx was just one of many spinosaurids that lived in early Cretaceous Europe. For example, Vallibonavenarix, Iberospinus, Riparovenator, Camarillasaurus, Seratosuchops, Suchossurus, Riojavenatrix Protathlitis, Ceratosuchops and "White Rock specimen" are from Europe.
Just bc i heard it and it made my eye twitch, clarification on pachycephalosaurus: their neck vertebrae were NOT equipped to headbutt like rams. This is a misconception that’s been spread for a long time. They used their heads as display and to hit each other in the flanks and there is fossile proof of the damage left behind due to this interspecific combat style
Actually, Pangea formed more like 250 million years ago, closer to the Permian - Triassic extinction, not the Triassic Jurassic Extinction. By that time Pangea was already begining to split apart.
Also, he says 80 million... which would only leave about 14 - 15 million years for the Dinosaurs to even exist at all... and since they actually existed for about 175M - 180M... well in any case, hopefully he will correct that at some point😅
@@FRMJD1996 ...he says that starting from 80 million years ago, their diversity peaked. He said that after going over dinosaurs from before that time. What exactly are you saying should be corrected?
@@landkonnudur You’re right, he does end up correcting this as the video go on.
I feel like it was meant to say coinciding with pangaea's break up instead formation based everything that was shown before but it was missed in the script proofreading
0:04 well he does say 'the recent breakup of Pangaea'
"the biogeography of dinosaurs" is one of the best possible titles for a video, of any kind. Except maybe "the biogeography of dinosaurs, PART 1/30"
Yeah.. It's not fair if u only talk about the rough stuff about the big continents. And he mostly talk about the North America. Like.. 2/5 talk about North America.
How about the archipelago of Indonesia that back then was like.. it was the bridge between Asia and Australia(and always like that even until now) and actually no indonesia's archipelago back then. Just small islands and shallow sea. And always tropical climate. Perfect location for aquatic dinosaurs that prefer warm climate.
And also the archipelago of Japan. There was no Japan back then. But that area is a vast shallow region. Again, perfect location for aquatic dinosaurs but this time it's the subtropic climate.
And the Arabia Peninsula. Arabia Peninsula rich with oil because lot of ancient creatures died there. Soo that means that place were like.. haven for them. And it's mostly a flatland there. No big mountains. Perfect for grassland or savanna biome. And some trees.
@@DBT1007 He mostly talked about North America because most dinosaur fossils were discovered there. Even famous species like Spinosaurus took a long time to be discovered.
Agreed. Except I would write it as: "The Biogeography of the Dinosaurs, PART 1/180"
yes
I DIDNT EXPECT A FACE REVEAL minus that one time he showed a picture of himself and girlfriend

He's done a quick face reveal in a recent video as well. This one he was basically a huge part of it.. cool!
And he's pretty good looking
@@dacadz It was one or two videos ago.. Maybe more,i don't always catch each one.., but he revealed briefly a close up picture of his girlfriend and himself.. It was in the first few minutes of the video
I do have one criticism: where are the allosauridae? They play a HUGE role in Cretaceous South America and the Mid Jurassic. Either way, everything else was stellar!
Yeah it was weird, especially since he talked about Spinosaurs which went extinct around the same time as the big carcarodontosaurids in the mid-late cretaceous. Like I was at the very least expecting a mention of Giganotosaurus.
@@lizardlegend42 so many of these dinosaurs were incredibly influential. Allosaurus was the pack hunting royalty of the jurassic, Mapusuaurs and Giganotosaurus DOMINATED South America, Carcharodontosaurus was a power-player of Africa and Acrocanthosaurus held the eastern seaboard of the US under its high-slimed heel. Even Concavenator and Neovenator had their own time in the sun. I’m deeply saddened they weren’t included
You left out a very large and major part of the theropod family tree: The Carcharadontisaurians. They began in the Jurassic with early off shoots being the likes Allosaurus and Saurophaganax (aka Allosaurus depending on who you ask), and diversified into monstrous big game hunters in the Cretaceous. These were dominant in the ecosystems they were present in, which included Appalachia (Acrocanthosaurus), South America (Tyrannotitan, Mapusaurus, and Giganotosaurus), Africa (Carcharadontosaurus), and Europe (Neovenator). From what I remember, they tended to die out as the Late Cretaceous entered full swing. South America is very interesting in this case as when the Giganotosaurs left the fossil records, the niche for hunting large sauropods (maybe not Argentinasaurus, there was plenty of other sauropods in the area that could satiate them) was left totally vacant and afaik we haven't found anything that took their place. The Abelisaurids, as wonderful as they are, simply weren't capable of filling the niche left behind by one of the largest land predators to exist. As a matter of fact they seemed to be doubling down on the speed demon approach, with Carnotaurus being the fastest theropod we know of being built for running down prey. This was generally the case for Abelisaurids everywhere, constantly living in the Carcharadontisaurs' shadows (India and Madagascar being the obvious exceptions.
These amazing animals deserve some attention, but more importantly if you're interested in more biogeographics with relations to dinosaurs but on a smaller scale, check out Hațeg Island specifically. It's a wild ride of dwarfism beneath the shadow of a terrifying animal.
After the carcharodontosaurs died out, titanosaurs decreased in body size, abelisaurids and megaeaptorids were able to hunt down these large animals as they did it in Australia, Madagascar and India, where from what we know carcharodontosaurids didn’t reach
salt
One Abelisaur-Titanovenator from Kenya(keep in mind it's not an official name yet) grew to a size similar to Tarbosaurus-the 2nd biggest Tyrannosaurid.
Allosaurus and Saurophagnanax aren't Carcharodontosaurids, all are Allosauroids tho
Not really,Dreadnoughtus,Puertasaurus,Antarctosaurus and Austroposeidon among others were among the largest dinosaurs of all time@@alcyon7536

So much to explore there!

Thank you so much for this! It's amazing how much a mapping can really help engage with data, even one as popularized as dinosaurs.

like uuhhhhh james beavers?
Absolutely great video, puts it really simply and clear.
As for the Spinosaurus thing, I think it's just niche filling. Spinisaurs shared their habitat with several other massive, and much more powerful, theropods such as Carcharodontosaurus. An aquatic lifestyle off fish so as not to compete with those predators makes a lot of sense.
“Bone headed dinosaurs” actually didn’t fight with their heads. Their head design was simply a stage of sexual maturity. You forgot to mention that in Africa theropods like Gigantosaurus and Charcarodontosaurs lived too. Also there were still plenty of dinosaurs from Europe. The Americas also had a decent amount of Dromeosaurids too.
One thing is that the “snapshot” he was using was from 80 million years ago, and carcharadontosaurs generally existed in 100-90 mya so I think that’s why he doesn’t include them. However, carchardontosaurus did exist in Africa for a while with no mention so idk why he didn’t do that
@@mangoboy4924 While geographically it's a snapshot of circa 80 million years ago, biologically it's a jumble of roughly +/- 15 million years of that. He talks about Spinosaurus in Africa (circa 95 million years ago at the latest) and Tyrannosaurus in North America (less than 70 million years ago at the earliest). With that in mind, talking about Carcharodontosaurids would be viable too.
They were "Giganotosaurus" and they lived in South America not Africa.

I'm emotionally prepared for the all plants version of this vid
I really wanna point out that spinosaurids were also discovered in South America (see Oxalaia, or Irritator), further adding to the connection with Gondwana.
Also, in both these places, but especially Gondwana, the true apex predators (on land) probably were the carcharodontosaurids, very large predatory theropods.
Anyways, amazing video, super clear and well put as always ! You rock, thank you !
I love your videos - so well thought out. One correction and one addition on this one: 1. "Ceratops' " as you said are actually called Ceratopsians. 2. Dromeosaurids were also super common in the theropod lineage in western north america.

I appreciate you actually using mostly up to date dinosaur reconstructions despite being new to this topic.
Most popular science journals I've seen would just slap some Jurassic World models on there and call it a day.
The context of this video I found really helpful. It really highlighted the patterns in different body forms and evolutionary tactics of each of the separate geographic regions that I've never seen elsewhere
Biogeography is such a fascinating field, and the biogeography of mammals and dinosaurs is especially interesting. Also, I love how your animated map is sitting on graph paper ... such a cool effect! Always nice to put a face to a voice, too. Thanks for this cool video!
We need a video covering the plants in this period too now!
And other animals as well, there were far more cool things during the Mesozoic than just dinosaurs, or hell even just reptiles
Cycad, ginko, cycad, ginko, fern.
When Atlas Pro uploads, you know you gotta click it
Same
It would be awesome to get a video on plants in the Mesozoic! What kind of plant life was there to support these incredibly massive creatures? How was it different from plant life today (e.g the absence of grass)?
One of the ways that sauropods are theorised to have been able to support their massive bulks on plants is special adaptations to getting the most out of conifers as is physically possible. The bigger their bellies, the longer they could keep plant matter in there to continue extracting nutrients. I listened to a podcast by Dr David Hone (I think) who talked about how this allowed them to extract more energy out of usually energy-poor vegetation than any other animal and make a non-viable food option usable exclusively by themselves. Pretty cool if you ask me!
This is one of, if not the best educational youtube channel. I always get so invested in these videos, so much more than in any other channel. It's even kinda crazy.

17:02 The kid in me that binged Walking With Dinosaurs many times expected to see 2 Allosaurs emerge from this scene to attack a Stegosaurus 😂
Just an FYI: the most recent study on Spinosaurus as of January of 2021 strongly suggests that it was not semi-aquatic like a crocodile, paddling with its tail, but was wading in the shallows like a heron. 😉
Damn they just can’t make their mind up on What Spinosaurus was can they
The spinosaurus' tail pretty clearly indicates that it swam in water a lot otherwise it wouldnt have evolved a tail so adapted for propelling itself through the water so I would still call it semi-aquatic, but still obviously not to the same degree that crocodiles are semi-aquatic because crocodiles are basically like 80% aquatic and have features for that life that spino simply doesn't. I do think that the heron way of hunting fish makes the most sense though, I just strongly disagree with the idea that it didn't use its tail for swimming when it so clearly has evolved for that purpose.
Wait how so? If anything the tail structures that were discovered indicate it was more semi-aquatic than previously thought?
I'm getting the feeling that there's only like ten actual people working on this and they don't get along.
@@lizardlegend42 yea for sure I have no idea what they're talking about anyone with eyes could see that the tail was used for swimming, I'd like to see the study they're talking about bc that sounds like nonsense, besides the heron thing. And also I dont think any study has ever made the claim that Spinosaurus was semi-aquatic in the way crocodilians are, because again crocodilians spend very little time outside of the water to the point that they have short reduced legs and nostrils and eyes on top of their heads, which very obviously spinosaurus doesnt have.

Tell me about it, the video is at best grossly oversimplified to the point of falsehood. Amphibians and phytosaurs dominating Triassic ecosystems? Saurischians being ancestrally herbivorous? Sauropods outcompeted in Laurasia? Tyrannosaurs/Dromaeosaurs exclusive to Laurasia and dominating ecosystems as soon as Pangea broke up? And so on and on.
@@lynnk5635 They went extinct in the middle of the late cretaceous and we don't know why. By the time described by Atlaspro here all Allosauroids bad disappeared and their places were taken by Tyrannosauroids in the North and Abelisauroids in the South. Basically the Early to Mid Late Cretaceous was like the late Jurassic but everything was even bigger then for some reason much of those older clades went extinct and you see the appearance of more derived late cretaceous dinosaurs like Ceratopsids (who only became really iconic and big by about 80-90 million years ago. Pachycephalosaurs appeared around the same time. These were confine solely to Asia and Laramidia, though in the last million years before the extinction they likely reached Appalachia but we only have a single tooth as evidence of this.

You seem to be able to answer questions about so many aspects of geography that I could not even formulate yet! Please keep up the work! ANd your face is an excellent addition! It adds a very human element and makes the videos even more touching on a metaphysical level! Thanks Altlas Pro!
Never too late ! I too, found it not long ago.
The nice part about CZcams format is being able to review at our own speed.
Relearning Biology through this channel. And I learned a lot. Kudos to the people behind; the host, researchers, producers and everyone. I hope I could thank you more enough.
You said your just learning and want to learn so I wanted to let you know that new research shows pachycephalosaurs more than likely didn't smash heads for fighting, their bones were too weak and brittle for such activities
While their skull were brittle, they were covered with healed scars and fractures. It was hypothesised that they might not smash their skulls like mountain goats, but rather more like boars and giraffes, smashing their head against their sides on a swinging motion rather than a frontal charge.
their heads have signs of healing from trauma like that you would get from bashing skulls, so while they may not have headbutted directly they seemingly did actually fight each other with their heads albeit probably in a more indirect manner than straight head to head bashing
I think one of the reasons for a lack of diversity in Appalachia is that there just isn't much of a fossil record of the Mesozoic era. Due to erosion, much of our bedrock is Paleozoic or older, same as the Canadian islands and Greenland.
I love this channel. My professor and I were talking a few days ago and it turns out we both subscribe to you channel. Keep up the good work.
Yes, nice to see your face. And fantastic work, once again! I've seen all your video's and your channel is one of my faves!
This was so so interesting. I've never seen the dinos explained so well before - also, I thought the vlog/face shots were a nice touch! Keep it up.
I enjoy this channel so much - I learn things that I didn't even know were worth learning. And now you've thrown eye-candy into the mix with a face reveal; marvelous.
Feels like I'm watching a PBS show. This is great!
I've never seen dinosaur evolution presented this linearly, this was super helpful thank you!!!!
One of the best CZcams channel out there!
His face is exactly what i thought it was.
Also, i also have a great curiosity in dinosaurs.
We need more of these... keep rewatching this
Tbh, I don’t see why many scientists think the Abelisaurs were the dominant carnivores of Gondwana, when it seems the carcharodontosaurs were bigger and just as prolific. Even though they were present in Gondwana and Laurasia, they were much bigger in the south than in the north than the abelisaurs, wouldn’t that make them the dominant carnivores of Gondwana?

@𓃤𓃫𓃦 𓏲𓇍𓊃𓃭 uhhhhhh then should I replace it with intelligent?
Damn, Atlas is beautiful
I must be a visual learner. Can’t sit through a 2 hour class, will watch this all day though lol
I love this! I have been fascinated by dinosaurs for a while, but this is the first time I have seen such a comprehensive list of dinosaurs in their geographical context.
As a Dino nerd myself, this is the best synopsis of dinosaur evolution and diversity I've ever seen. ❤ excellent work
Can we get a follow up video on the crazy stuff happing with plants at the time? That’s something that I’d be very interested in!
Flowers first came around that time so that's pretty cool
This simplified what seems like toy-box of animals to an organized collection being displayed. I have many books saying the same thing about their distribution and where certain dinosaurs are found but this really helped.
Bro your videos have been getting more and more amazing. Just keep doing what you're doing please.
Ah the "face reaveal"
I dont know why I picture you in my head as a bald old man whith glasses, i am amaze how young you are. 😮
I just ran across your videos. So impressed with the info presented with the maps over time to depict such a complete picture of our changing world! Ice age videos were awesome! This one is awesome! Will be watching many more. Thank you!
Awesome video, I know there are plenty of channels talking about this topic but it'd be cool if you could continue on with these!
