All the Ark players: “It’s a quetzal! Let’s tame it!”
they been so useless since the flyers nerf :((
not true. people still cheasen bases with that thing
cheesen? you know what i mean
@@adouhoiad they unnerf it in last patch
@@wizard8437 the most toxic game ever made. I alpha'd several times and it makes you power hungry. I quit in that underground update with the giant crabs.
Doesn't it just fascinate you that the planet that you are living on right now was once walked by millions of gigantic beasts?
It always does, and it makes you wonder what other creatures that are not yet discovered have already walked this earth
Makes me really wish I could have seen a Gorgonopsid. Lol
Misread that as breasts but I still agree with your point
@@alllowercase4799 aw man now I can't unread it damnit how could you?!
I love it
The quetzal is a helpful end-game tame found anywhere on the map with a rare spawn chance, (excluding some other maps if true), the method used to tame the quetzalcoatlus creature is very hard if you arent skilled. The method used is with a flyer, a grapple gun and tranqs of course. Once tamed, the quetzal can be used to transport heavy items. It can also be used as a pvp creature by putting turrets and shooting from its buildable saddle. There are two distinct saddles, the saddles being: Quetz Saddle and Platform Quetz Saddle. They can be used in a multitude of ways.
IMO it should be a major target for the next wave of TLC. It needs it bad.
Ark survival evolved reference
It's such a pain to tame single player- though great once you have one
asa should update the quetz
Use rare flowers + snow owl to easily trap it on ground
Fun fact, in the thumbnail the skull is what i can assume is Anhanguera, yes a pterosaur but not nearly ever as large, not even the genus of Anhangueridae are that large! And you might be wondering what Anhanguaridae are, its a family group of early cretaceous pterosaurs from northern south america, mainly brazil. Hope this info helped you understand. Quetz still had an amazing skull but i get why the one with teeth was chose, cause it looked cool lol
Kinda lame & click baitish lol
Thank you for the fact I hope you have good day
Jc how it's a fun "fact" if u almost immediately follow this word with "assume".

@@djoniamman5318 just searched up images for the aramo, and holy shit, thats a big ass bird bruh. dayum
Albatross has a big wingspan but as of actual mass/weight the Andean Condor is the biggest extant bird that can fly
I do doubt this Thoughty2's sources at times. He even said pterosaur wrong. The 'p' is silent.
Well in the video, he does say “in term of wingspan”
As interesting as this is, the most mind-blowing fact for me is that giraffes are taller than T-Rexes. I just always thought they towered over everything.
Wait are you serious?
@@rainer999 the tallest giraffes in the world are a little bit taller than the Trex was but go look at some full grown giraffes in the wild they are tall AF!!!
Actually Spinosaurus was much larger than T-Rex. The only reason why there wasn't much information at the time 4 Spinosaurus was that in World War II skeleton found was destroyed in Germany and wasn't rediscovered until many years later by then T-Rex was the most popular dinosaur
@@michaeldarkwolf9726 it was not "much larger" at all. It was a bit longer, but nowhere near as heavy
@@andymclafferty600 actually it was, the spinosaurus is the largest predatory land animal humans have ever discovered so far.
One of the craziest things I ever heard was that it takes a fairly specific set of circumstances to make a fossil out of something, and that it's likely that of all the creatures weve found, we probably dont even have a 1% record of the animals and creatures that have lived since the beginning of life on earth. Which blows my mind.
I cant even imagine all the strange and wild looking stuff that existed that we will never ever get to see.
Not only that but we haven't found that many species that are alive right now too, it's estimated that its something like 5 million species waiting to be found 😳
that's even before you factor in the five mass extinctions we know about, one of them killed 96% of all life one the planet, and the other four killed at least 50% (because they would have had to killed at least 50% to count as a mass extinction)
@@littlewillowlinda its wild right
@@warmtofu2813 exactly. It's crazy. All the bugs and wild looking sea and land creatures and even plants that we just cant conceive of and will literally never get to see. Makes me sad but also makes me wonder at the complexity and beauty of the world and universe in its entirety. And that's just on ONE PLANET. And there are countless planets out there with wild life will never get to see either. Its madness lol
So you're telling me dragons and unicorns could have possibly been real creatures. Wild haha

Well he isn’t wrong
it was the Hindenburg.
The smallest animal to ever be eaten by ants wasn't a blue whale
@@cookingwithmom8081 No this has nothing to do with that Superman quip. He legitimately thought a plane to be a type of animal.

I Find it so funny that it was found in Texas, because everything is bigger in Texas!
mass-wise it's actually smaller than the related Hatzegopteryx from Romania.
Yee, though to be fair it would LOOK bigger side by side due to sheer power of lonk
Imagine how big it could have gotten if it was found in Alaska. 🤠
For those wondering, at 3:18, Arran does correctly say "Airbus A380".
It's the image that's incorrectly labelled as "8380".

He also pronounced "pterosaur" as "pear-osaur" at 10:16
"We actually don't know much about it" is my favorite science trope after they dump a ton of supposed facts about everything about the subject.
Lmfao! I was just saying the exact same thing before looking into this forum! Lol... its so true!
I'll never understand why anyone would go about making up what they call theories of how things were or how they functioned?
Looks like it's a tactic used for many decades even hundreds of thousands of years to propagate misinformation to take the (uh hum) lesser forms that know not, into believing so that they do not think of ideas which would lead to questions that one day will spark a moment that eventually will start a revolution!
The George Jetson tactic:
Smart enough to push the button
Too dumb to ask why he is pushing the button!
🤣🤣🤣
@@tmilani8253 That's essentially the entire basis of the psuedoscience called "psychology". It's all theories that probably aren't even true.
That's because they don't know - it's all essentially guessing. If you really think there's some magical person who can tell you for certain what a creature from 2 million years ago was able to do based on a skull they found, I have ten thousand bridges to sell you.
@@BornIn1500 do you understand what a scientific theory is? It’s the outcome of a set of tests, based on a hypothesis. Scientific Theory is about gathering empirical data and creating datasets, and those datasets either prove or disprove the hypothesis. Theories are backed up by a huge amounts of data. It’s not just people saying “I think depression exists because of a chemical imbalance in the brain” or “psychopaths generally lack the ability to express or feel emotions because I said so”.
@@abnormallynormal8823 so what's the empirical data here? A couple of bone fragments and a weird looking skull? From this we can deduce the size, diet and air velocity of said animal? Absolutely fantasy nonsense.
first time watching a video of yours, and gotta say... production value, delivery, leadup, details, all of it incredibly well done and interesting. thank you!
Cant believe he called it a Parosaur. The P in Pterosaur is silent it's pronounced Terosaur.
Ptero from Greek "wing" it's not silent.
Maybe in French. Those people don't pronounce half of the letters.

He really is a contributor to humankind, one of the very few left upon our planet.
Kudos for the nod to this guy! But your dig at history teachers states more about your parents than it does about them! Why didn't they move to someplace with better schools, or put you in a church school, or take the time to help you with your studies? I feel sorry for you!
@@neoconshooter I'm sorry but It's not my parents' fault that my history teachers were incompetent and uninteresting. I won't blame my parents for not moving or paying for a different school after they sent me to the best school for music which was what I wanted. If you throw your kid in a different school everytime one teacher is underperforming I am sorry for them. Life is not all sunshine and rainbows and the fact that I had to study what my history teachers failed to teach me made me much more prepared for university. And finally I would like to ask you where I said my parents did not help my along the way. Your intentions might not be to insult but you are very quick to juge my parents based on a two sentence statement that did not say anything about them.

Wow this is so unique I can't believe there was a reptilian like bird that existed that big
i love how accurate his info is, specifically the fact that he pointed out that pterosaurs were flying lizards or reptiles more so than a dinosaur or bird
@Vanktum Alexander about that...
@Vanktum Alexander Depends on what kind we're talking. "Dragons" are usually portrayed as having four limbs plus a pair of wings, which would require them to have three pairs of limbs, which would in turn need to have descend from a reptillian ancestor with three pairs of limbs.
"Drakes" or "wyverns" that have a pair of wings and legs similar to bats would be more plausible.
His info is correct
@Vanktum Alexander I'm pretty sure dragons were inspired by dino bones ancient people found Dino bone and we're like well this is some kind of giant flying monstrosity
Like how he pronounced pterosaur without a silent P?

0:26 why'd i think it was gonna get attacked by a dinosaur 😂😂
Idk😂
I would like to know how accurate their theory of flight for this creature is. My presumption would be that it was a largely land based animal with the ability to glide as opposed to full on flight? Or maybe not even fly at all, with the wings used to show dominance/create homes by flapping away debris, scare off predators etc, even the Dodo had hallowed out bones yet was a flightless bird (I understand it has very different proportions but something to bare in mind)
Big azhdarchids did not weight more than 200 kg. In fact, they would barely reach 100 kg. They had an air sac system, just like birds, that makes them lighter and capable to flight.
Loved this video. Great job, thank you.

@@mikes5637 I saw a thing yesterday that claimed it was the Andean Condor.
I think it depends on whether your referring to wingspans volume or weight. Not sure. Like do you classify the biggest human ever as the fattest, or the tallest? Fun fact the tallest human ever was Robert Pershing Wadlow, who was 8 feet 11 inches tall. Or 271.78 centimeters. Wearing shoes he could stand at 9 feet!
@@shaggyspade2468 fun FACT - you and all of the world have been lied to about the real history of this planet. To further the lie of evolution. I can prove this with one fact. There is no evidence man came from monkeys. Yes we might be similar in genetics. But if we were from monkeys there would be skeletons to prove this claim. Funny how we have dinosaurs from supposedly before man existed. But not one skeleton of a 1/4 or 1/2 evolved human. 🤔
@@josephcremeans I think you misunderstand what "proof" is, because that's not proof. That's just pointing out a lack of specific evidence. And we have enough related evidence to make a solid theory. If you want to believe that your big god in the sky made all of us, keep on believing that, I don't really care. But don't claim that you have proof, because you don't. No one does.

I’ve got a contender for this position. Say hello to the Cryodrakon Boreas. A massive pterosaur similar to that of Quetzalcoatl. Back when Quetzalcoatl was being discovered, scientists noticed a slight difference between a couple of fossils. This difference was located in the necks of the skeletons, where one was seemingly wider than the other. This find was enough to designate this fossil as separate to that of Quetzalcoatl, and being given a name appropriate to where it was found (Canada), Cryodrakon Boreas, which literally means ‘Ice Dragon’.

"OH, THE HUMANITY!" - Best quote from a news reporter EVER.
I was an archaeologist major in college... Now I know where the "did you dig for dinosaurs?" question comes from... Paleontologists dig for dinosaurs, archaeologists dig for human civilizations.
Imagine those were still alive: Hey Friends! This is Tracy.. oh, there she went.
Truly terrifying if you think about it... imagine how LOUD they could’ve been too, who knows what kinds of crazy noises they were capable of making... chills me to the bone
As a former teacher of air and flight to elementary school kids, this is well researched, accurate and fascinating.
lmao no
The argument over how Quetzy may have flown is actually pretty fascinating. There are some scientists who don't believe it could even have flown at all, in part because of it's weight and in part the question of how it could even have taken off. There are a number of theories as to how it worked, if it jumped off cliffs or vaulted using its "hands/wrists" (basically, the midpoint of the wings).
It may have also used rising warm air columns to stay aloft similar to the condors of today.
If it’s bones where hollow it could have flown fine, but if it wasn’t they might have glided like a squirrel
It did not fly. For its bones to be light enough for a creature of that size to fly, it wouldn't have been able to support its own mass. The same is true in a few instances in the dinosaur world.
@@beerious8392 would it have glided at least?
@@pj4999 they most likely could fly
If quetzalcoatlus doesn’t get a mention in this video I’m gonna die…
Edit: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSASSSSSSSSSS. Side note, love the video, it includes everything I love, flying reptiles and dinosaurs, the humongous insects, fossils, planes and no screaming CZcamsrs.
That one dude was so burnt to a crisp he looked like a vampire
it's such a shame that those ancient groups of creatures like pterosaurs & plesiosaurs, etc are now extinct :(
We have pigeons and turtles now instead. Both amazing in their own rights. We should try to keep them from going extinct.
@@newmemer8070 indeed :)
What do you want? The kids at the local kindergarten to get eaten by these flying bastards?
@@auhsojacosta1672 not all pterosaurs were big and it sucks that not even the small ones survived
@@bludclone I’m saying that if pterosaurs were brought back suddenly, then kindergarteners would get eaten, or any other small mammal for that matter
Why didn't pterodactyls make a sound when they urinated?
Because the "P" is silent.
But I pronounce the p...
@@wiidlbeetle3857 well then you’re doing it wrong
He said perasoar. Not pterosoar
@@cillianwilliamson16 and?
@@cillianwilliamson16 He pronounced it wrong: the "P" is silent not the "T".

62 out of like 97 survived in the Hindenburg that's a pretty good success on a huge flying vehicle and it wasn't because of the hydrogen that if combusted its because the painted coating on the outside happened to be similar in chemical makeup to rocket fuel. you can put out and repair a flaming hydrogen hole in a zeppelin. Its a bit harder if the skin is rocket fuel.
Meganeura and a variety of other gryphon flies and giant land arthropods lived in the Carboniferous not the Permian😅 because of the fact that the first forests on earth popped up around then and the oxygen levels were way higher as a result which allowed bugs inefficient methods of breathing to be supported and also allowed them to get way bigger than they could ever today. The biggest bugs on earth today are always centered around areas with high levels of oxygen (especially when it’s humid and there’s tons of trees.)
I can actually go on and on about a variety of other things but I’ll just say that Quetzalcoatlus was one of many azhdarchid pterosaurs and that there are some around the same size if not bigger.
Also that’s the silliest pronunciation of pterosaur I’ve heard besides Pa-Tera-dackyl…
Here’s a hint, the P is silent… just pronounce the rest of the word. I genuinely got click baited into this video thinking I was gonna learn something new😅
It’s kinda like when people say Argentinasaurus was the biggest dinosaur… when really it’s like… yeah it was utterly massive but there were other titanosaurs close to its size and one that I can think of called the bruhathkayosaurus that was even bigger😅 basically rivaling that of a blue whale but on land and would’ve had to have been light enough to not crush itself but sturdy enough to not shatter it’s legs… it’s insane to think that something like that could exist at all on earth. You’d think it would need to live on an alien planet with less gravity.😅
His voice is dope for story telling
Nazis: what should we build next?
Hitler: a giant floating wicker man.
Or rather (German accent) "... giant vicker mahn."
So are you saying that Nazis hosted the first Burning Man?
They only used hydrogen because some country put an embargo on selling Helium to Germany. I wonder who? They had their own Nazi party, too.
@4tran imagine what's going through his mind right now as he feverishly defends the actual nazis...
@@doge8726 ow, the edge
Thoughty2: Fire and flying have never been a great combo
Hot air balloon’s: am I a joke to you?
The fact that there were passengers ON the Hindenburg who SURVIVED is honestly unbelievable.
Although hydrogen makes an impressive explosion, the flames go upwards instead of blasting fuel around that lands on people and other objects. If the bags of hydrogen went off at different times, it would also allow it to fall more gently. 30 seconds to fall to the ground is a pretty long time. Hydrogen has gotten a bad rap :)
that is why it is hard to deny that God exists.

Every time I hear about an albatross I hear Bruce Dickinson belting out "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
Hell yeah! "The mariner killed the bird of good omen"
@@williamdunning613 his shipmates cry against what he's done.
that was a nightmarish poem for the sailors.
My favourite line was "Unhand me, fool!"
Albatrosses are remarkable birds that I really admire.
I love that it’s called quetzalcoatlus northropi like the aircraft designer/manufacturer Northrop Grumman
This creature is as close as nature has ever been to making a real life dragon
I really wish we still had the complex diversity of creatures on this planet. Imagine a combo of time zones eras mixed together. With fungi & crystals the size of trees of course

A decent look into this is the latest King Kong movie, and why I would never want the primordial horrors of ancient Earth to ever come back.
Well we are discovering tons of new species in the jungles all the time
Unfortunately humans are selfish and we’re causing another mass extinction
@@jjcoola998 We also go out of our way to save as many animals as we can... So to make blanket statements like humans are selfish is ridiculous... Also 300 million years you just buy into this non sense... seriously.... 300 million years.... there is simply no possible way they could know anything from 300 million years ago its absurd
I would really prefer not to share the planet at the same time as gigantic carnivorous dragonflies
There's no way we would live (as relatively defenseless humans). But perhaps the type of human would've evolved too
