This video makes me wish I stayed on my love of dinosaurs like when I was younger, I wanted to dig up all the bones when I was a kid đ
Same, I really wish that I had stuck with my love for palentolgy.
I stuck with it, but I donât have anywhere to dig up bones until I can get to college :(
Could you belive they lived. With man
I still have my plastic dinosaurs đŠ used to spend hours playing with them.
@@yashuasaves5207 yes, birds are real
A number of fossils have been found across Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas. I found what turned out to be a Mosasaur tooth (according to the Denver Natural History Museum) in my backyard! Didn't even have to dig it up.
wow my son would freak out it's his favorite dinosaur!!! I can't imagine finding that in our garden...
If you ever find any in your yard don't tell anyone because they can leagly stop you from entering your yard and make it a protected excavation site
@@Raverzdreams government am I right >:/
You have more than just a tooth. Just dig
@@Raverzdreams Or you can help Science by not going into your yard while Scientists excavating.
It's great to see Peter Larson recognized for his expertise! The recent record breaking fossil sold to a private collector has me indignant on his behalf! Sue was taken from Mr Larson on the grounds he might be motivated by profit vs scientific benefit. Now I see it's perfectly fine to be motivated by bottom line. All of what he went through.....glad he's doing well!
The judge ordered Stan to be sold because his brother wanted out of the BHI and his share of the money.
There's more to it than that, but the upshot is that Stan had to be sold so Pete's brother got his money.
Comforting to know that the family who stole Sue lived their lives at bitter odds with each other because of it.
If T-Rex sold guns.
He'd be a small arms dealer.
Take my like
What in the broke back mountain is he wearing on his neck?
Hickey camouflage.
Lol exactly
Heâs the Ram Rancher
Donât hate because heâs got style đ
Were the brokeback mountain cowboys looking for dinosaurs, I forget
Tyrannosaurs are one of my favorite dinosaur families. Tyrannosaurus Rex being my all-time favorite, followed by the Carcharodontosaurs and the Neovenators.
Same t-rex is my favorite dino and Animal.

How about the abelisaurs? I know they are smaller but still a very unique family of Dino.
I love this show. Itâs one of my favourites. Canât wait for Season 3!
I loved watching the show.Thought it was so fantastic when he and his son had found a skull in a valley thet just happened to stumbled across it and were uncovering peaces and more peaces to find it was a complete skull.and then the show ended.Hope the show comes back in a near season or a new series.It a wonderful to see cowboys out ranching and then start to find such history that walked this land so many centuries ago.Hopefully the networks will pick the show up and bring back another series of finding more prehistoric fossils.To show the world that the massive creatures did walk the earth millions of years ago before they went extinct.Just their size must have been a incredible sight to behold when they walked the earth.
the show is coming back right, did it say it was the series finale? that would suck i LOVE this show my grandaughters and i watched it together every week, they loved it as much as this big kid did LOL
Cowboys don't typically try so hard to sound like cowboys
or wear scarfs
I live in the South. I know lots of cowboys, ranchers and farm owners. This dude is dressed so awesome I have a hard time believing he's real.
Looks like he's just off the range
Heâs bringin REXY BACK...đ¶đ”đ”đ¶
Actors Acting... They never miss the dress rehearsal.
Remember in back to the future 3. Where Marty has to go back to the wild west. And Doc Brown hooks him up with some 1955 western wear. And then when he shows up in the wild west he looks absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. Kinda reminds me of that too.
@@worldssickestmedia2713 bahahaha yes!
This show is incredible I wish they would make another season of this show
There is another season
That âcowboyâ looks like heâs been working up on Brokeback Mountain.
I gotta admit...when I see that neck handkerchief/scarf thing, I canât hear or see anything else in the video.
Love the â Dino Hunters â show !!
Wow! Pete Larson is a neighbor of ours, and it is our great joy to be able to visit his museum in Hill City.
I'm gonna be honest, this video convinced me that nanotyrannus is a real genus
I wanna see those other scientist having fun discovering they were so wrong LoL Peter Larson, the perfect one to be able to do this!! Clayton .. keep digging!! Love it.
Why does this ârancherâ look like heâs wearing a costume?
Why do you think its a costume? Ever seen real cowboys with cow shit on their boots?
Because itâs the Discovery Channel Jro
Because this is a TV show and 99% of what you see is a "show."

Because he's so clean.
This was fascinating. Thank you for the upload. I am now a subscriber
The eternal struggle between lumpers and splitters. This highlights some other points in paleontology and science in general. Most importantly is that science advances with more information is gathered. Also, healthy debate is beneficial is raising questions to be answered to differentiate organisms. I also like the enthusiasm of the rancher. Not only is he interested in paleontology, he had the good sense to bring in someone who knows the subject.
Amazing, Find.
0:03 That guy is as much a "rancher" as I am an astronaut. lol
OneMA... then you are a hell of an astronaut! Seriously.
Thanks for these great videos!
I really love this .it's really a great program.
I'd hate to ever go against this guys knowledge of the T-Rex. Smart guy
This is just another juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex
We loved this show!!
What a find!!
My grandpa is like the definition of this the cowboy of this guy, made a living off of cattle most of his life as well. And I represent the opposite side. I took all the paleontology. I love dinosaur fossil finding more than is sane.
I know that there are an almost unspeakable number of dinosaur species that used to exist, many of them are small alterations of one particularly species. There were dozens of different ceratopsians and raptors, so I would not be surprised if this âNanotyranusâ was a real thing at one point.
LOL... Oh, you "know" that for sure, do you?
@@whataworld369 itâs a biological similarity across all time periods of life existing on earth. Take our time period, for example, and letâs take a very common species: the wasp. There are around 30,000 species of these things flying around our planet. Yet they all classify as a wasp. This immense frequency in species similarity can be found in every millennia in the history of life existing on this planet.
@@jacktheIV44 ok... fair ball, that's probably the best answer I could have asked for.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy! Congratulations!
The moral of a story, this is how science lost an important specimen to a private collector...
This is how science got an important specimen they wouldnât have got otherwise. People wouldnât go looking for fossils if they werenât valuable
Whats up with the scarf on that "cowboy". All dressed up for a broke back mountain party.
Itâs so fascinating and what blows my mind is how old that has been on the ground floor
Simply fascinating.
The difference in claw size is interesting.
Reminds me of those diagrams we see in textbooks showing how animals evolve from smaller to bigger creatures.
About 20 years ago, I found out that such illustrations don't always represent the reality. The skull size of certain creatures was doctored because the sequence in the actual fossils was more erratic ie small skull, bigger skull, suddenly small again, smaller, then MUCH bigger, etc etc.
Then we hadda test on related subject that the teacher had to revise after we saw a video exposing certain fraudulent claims regarding 'missing links' and such.
There's a lot more uncertainty than many let on...
Agh, 4give my tangent. None of those gripes with this video, to be sure đ
They are wrong!

It also fills the holes for Theropods where scientists were before just using juvenile Trex to fill in for the size gaps in Therapods đđŸ
A lot of supposedly new Dinosaur Species ended up being different phases of Life, for only one. Dr. Carlson did a really good Video, on the vanishing Dinosaurs. really funny and quite accurate, in my opinion. Every one wants to name a Dinosaur.

Very cool video
The dino is great but that guy looks hilarious in his cowboy costume. đ
We had the T-rex but this new one is the Tex-Rex.
So is Nanotyrannous actually finally recognized as a separate species now?!
I remember that the first time I heard about nanotyrannous was from the show jurassic fight club ( which granted it wasn't a very scientifically accurate show) I thought it was a neat Dinosaur but then scientists started saying that it wasn't a real Dinosaur, that it was just a miss identified young tyrannosaurus.
No, nanotyrannus is the same exact species as Tyrannosaurs rex. It's just a different growth stage. There is no evidence to suggest that they are different species at all.
@@Bunny-ns5ni what about what they just did right there in that video?
@@chuckrothans7535 what they said was exactly like saying that a 5 year old child is a different species from an adult human. The fusion of the skull and longer arms don't classify as evidence, because young animals tend to experience bone fusion early in life, even with larger animals. Puppies, kittens, calves, young reptiles and birds go through it very early into their lives. As a Tyrannosaurus ages, it's arms would decrease in size relative to it's body, due to the near uselessness of it's forelimbs, and the importance of it's bite force. This "expert" was making biased assumptions and judgements without accurately assessing the evidence against him. He may be knowledgeable in tyrannosaurids, but doesn't understand ontogeny. Especially since in the last two years, it's been agreed decisively, along with addressing evidence, that nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus rex are infact the same species. Ontogenally, ecologically, and biologically, they are associated in the same way. There is no evidence to support their separation as different genera.
@@Bunny-ns5ni I understand what you are saying, I work with animals I'm a wildlife biologist. I understand Ontology, ecology, and the biology of animals. An yes this "expert " might have been biased in his assumptions and judgment but considering that he has spent years in his field studying the fossils of tyrannosaurids he should be able to tell the difference. He doesn't have anything really to gain from lying about what this Dinosaur is, doing something like that would damage his reputation, credibility, and his job. No one would do that unless they truly have a proper understanding of what he does.
And as for the slight differences between this fossil and other tyrannosaurus specimens doesn't mean that it's exactly the same species or not for example lion and tiger skeletons look almost perfectly identical. If they both went extinct a long time ago without even ever being seen by the eye's of people or any photos evidence to prove that they are different species then people would have just believed that the two skeletons were from the same species and not two completely different species.
@@Bunny-ns5ni The arms of the Nano-T are not bigger then a T-Rex compared to it's body size... they are way larger then the arms of an adult T-Rex at all. Show me just one animal where bodyparts are shrinking with age.
They can't fool me! I can tell its just a big rabbit,,lmao!! Great find a love seeing the real bones intact
I'm just starting to get into paleontology after I found a mint-condition Allosaur tooth on my families ranch. Its so cool.
Wheres his ranch at? Brokeback mountain?
No, Boneback mountain
So he did NOT find T-Rex bones??? Jeez, what a title. There are many Tyrannosaur species but the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a specific species and he did not find that.... He found a new species.... That would be an accurate title.
What a SCARY world it must have been in those days!!
Such freaking awesome sh*t!!!
Been crazy about dinosaurs đŠ since I was a kid
I find it uncanny that dinosaurs look like dragons
Ancient people also recovered fossils and made their own assumptions
I remember the, "Allosaurus". If memory serves me correct, that critter predated T-Rex. They both had many similarities.
Is my memory correct ?
Allosaurus was indeed a real theropod, albeit from the Jurassic instead of the Cretaceous like the Tyrannosaurus so your memory of it predating Tyrannosaurus is also correct! Different families though and they have quite a few easy to spot differences such as Tyrannosaurus being larger, Allosaurus having three fingered hands as opposed to the 2 fingers of Tyranno, and Allosaurus's distinct crests in front of the eyes
Love this show
Most complete Trex fossil found wow â€
Halloween costumes is cowboy
why is this not on US TV? Instead we get ancient aliens and finding bigfoot
Nobody was phased by the T-rex growling at them in the room. đ
WOW! This is freakin' awesome!
Im going to be a palieantoligest when I get older and I found 8 trilobites
He finds an $8 million dano while I can't even find my remote. đ
Your not alone.I stopped carrying a wallet years ago
I know right
That rancher looks funny with that big blanket around his neck. That blank is bigger than he is.
The dude with the Stetson and the cowboy regalia looks ridiculous although he probably thinks heâs the business! đ
Imagine being an ordinary Joe in the comments without a PhD or scientific degree of any kind and still attempting to talk down to and rebuke a paleontologist whoâs been at this longer than they have.
@Discovery UK< it's T. rex, not T-Rex. The proper, scientific, way of abbreviating the genus and species names of an animal is to take the first letter of the genus, capitalize it, and put a . at the end. Then, comes the species name in all lower case.
Nobody cares.
@@mikes5637 I care, don't assume
The scientific community, not to mention everyone else, spells 'end', 'end', not 'ned'.
Very interesting. đđ»đŹđ§
Awesome . Nano Taranus .
I found some dead bones of a buffalo in my backyard, gonna pass them off as as new species.
Publish them in science journal.
become rich ans famous.
Gonna name....
Backyardsaurus.
LMAO
Careful what you wish for! Lol
Firstly Buffalo never existed in North America
I wonder what the natives used to hunt on the big wide open plains of north America.
@@futureisyours3016 Bison, not buffalo.
I would point out that some reptiles and quite a bit of sea life grows for as long as they live. So it not being full though growing might not mean it is not at adulthood, unless we can suddenly describe the growth patterns in dinosaurs in detail then Id say there has always been room for debate. However I do believe this find is actually the smoking gun of Nanotyrannus.
I just watched a Ted talk where a paleontologists with his own museum will cut the fossils in half and has found that all the small version of triceratops & therapods such as nano trex have spongy inside of their bones but the full grown versions are completely solid looking like iron. He said there is only approx half the amount of different dinos that paleontologists claim but scientist do not want to ever admit they were wrong (which in of itself is unscientific) & if they named something don't want to lose that because they love to be able name things & the noriety they receive. Many of them go through tremendous changes as they age & aren't just miniture versions of the bigger version. Otherwise we haven't found any juvinelle dinos ever. Does that make any fucking sense? No it doesn't!

Hope it gets classified as one, but it is a long road and need more studies though, rule out more possibilities tbh
@@bradwhite5884 it's not going to be named one since the more they study them the less they look like a separate species and in the end are just a juvenile T-Rex. Hell my cousins just dug one up last summer.
@@deannelson9565 we need to know more about your cousins digging up some T. rexâs like⊠now
Congratulations on the find I think that's beyond wonderful
Amazing Discovery
"Arms don't shrink when you grow."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Hoatzin birds hatch with rather gangly, clawed arms and fingers, which then fuse and re-absorb and stuff as they grow up?
I'm not saying the evidence for Nanotyrannus being its own species isn't compelling, just that birds and at least some of their dino ancestors seem very variable in their morphology as they grow up.
@@adambartlett114
_IF_ Nano-s just a young T-rex, it's possible it would have more use for proportionally larger arms than an adult, who may only need them as "love handles" if at all. I recall watching a documentary that (iirc) said young T-rexes had a vastly different diet from the adults/parents, suggesting they lived separately from the parents and hunted for themselves, in different environments, with different techniques, for different prey. Sadly I don't recall which of the countless dino docs I've watched over the years.
I'm just half-remembering and speculating, though. I've no stake in this debate, but I agree that the debates can be fun! =D
@@seleuf does that go for tails too ? That would make frogs impossible !
@@studygodsword5937 I kind of get what youâre going for, but thatâs not a good example. Especially since amphibians are a completely different kingdom from dinosaurs, and there is zero evidence in the entire fossil record of any dinosaur, reptile, or bird going through anywhere close to as vast a change as amphibians go through in their life cycle.
@@SergeantBrowning the fact that 2 very different types of animals go through significant metamorphosis !
@@SergeantBrowning And insects go through it in as many as 3 different ways, shows the creativeness of God !
there are so many problems with this video and the declaration of "new species"
1st. They conflate genus and species in this video to a painful degree. Tyrannosaurus is the GENUS, Rex is the SPECIES. Another SPECIES of Tyrannosaurus would be T.Imperator or possibly T.Bataar. They are arguing for a new GENUS not SPECIES, as Nanotyrannus has been postulated to be a separate genus
2nd. If they did legitimately discover a "new species" it would be named and credited. This is about paleontological drama 10+ years in the making. Nothing "new" about this
3rd. They called in one (1) singular expert for his opinion? Who VERY clearly has a bias? Even if he is right (which is unlikely) he came to this conclusion in one single visit to one single specimen in an afternoon. Id hardly call that precise. Also why only one guy? Why not at least 2 to get 2nd opinions? its almost as if...
4th. At the end of the video, it makes it obvious that this video and entire situation has been misconstrued for profit. Not only do stories like this ALWAYS get exaggerated on a daily basis in dinosaur news to generate clicks/views, but at the end the rancher (who owns the fossil) outright ADMITS that he is looking to SELL the fossil. now it makes complete sense as to why he would contact a fanboy of "nanotyrannus" to be the one and ONLY paleontologist to come out and see the specimen, so he would declare "NEW SPECIES WOW! DEBATE SOLVED!!!" as that would earn a much larger paycheck than just another Tyrannosaurus specimen.
Specimens in situations EXACTLY like this are sold as false scientific breakthroughs when in reality they are average specimens, so they can be sold for higher prices all the time. China is infamous for this exact practice.
You are not wrong - but it may be worth noting that the lines between where one genus ends and another begins is a bit blurry, arbitrary, and just a human word - especially with fossils. And in this case I'm not convinced nano-t-rex isn't just a baby t-rex anyway. Which just demonstrates how difficult assigning a genus is.
skorpio... Nope.
Just go with the flow, go along to get along. Dont make waves. Maybe they will throw you a bone when they sell it for 8.3mil.
Got watch again...wow ...excellent dialogue
How can anyone know that stuff about T Rex? Incredible clip.
Funny how my links stay on the senators CZcams's
Whatâs with the scarf?
Fashion, probably
It's cold in the summer heat..
Aaahhh HAHAHHA at middle program.. look behind little shelfâs.. he growing mushrooms!!
Yes so do I awesome show
I can't argue with the presented evidence that it's most likely not a juvenile T-Rex, but I'm not sure I like Larson's insistence that it must be Nanotyrannus when the bones aren't even fully prepared yet.
I'm highly skeptical of anything claiming to be Nanotyrannus, and the more insistent someone is about something controversial like this, the more skeptical I get.
How do we know if the nano skeleton and the T-rex skeletons dont actually reprsent the T-rex's different genders with either the male or female being the naturally larger representation of the species?
Nannotyranus argument has been going on for some time. I was skeptical thinking that the Lance Creek specimen was a juvenile T rex for many years. However, with Clayton Phipps' discovery of the Dueling carnisaur and Chomper, I've changed my opinion. Both specimens have long, narrow, and long manus first phalanx elements very suggestive of Albertosaur hand structure. I believe the key to these individuals is in their hand structures as well, which likely will determine Tyrannosaur species diversity T rex hands were rather stocky and small in sructure while Abertosaurus and Gorgosauarus hands were .longer and narrower than in Tyrannosaurs. It's very likely that Nannotyranus was a late Maastrichtian Albertosaur hold over genus that survived into Hell Creek times. These manus elements are extremely rare to find requiring more complete specimens to determine species identification with overwhelming confidence. Clayton Phipps work in the Hell Creek Formation has given science incredibly important specimens and he rightfully should be acknowledged. Im glad to see that Pete Larson is also becoming honored as well for his valued research in dinosaur biology and tyrannosaur specimen discovery. The "Dinosaur Hunters" series has really offered the general public a realisric view of dinosaur fossil collecting in the Hell Creek Formation. It serves to educate how important that the public be allowed access to fossil specimens on private land that academic science has been falsely labeling as detrimental to science. Fortunately, it's because of public interests in dinosaur fossils that nearly all major dinosaur specimens mounted in our major museums came from discoveries by non academics!
Thank you
The disappointing part is that it's gonna take YEARS for this specimen to be properly diagnosed and submitted for peer review.
If it ever is, they said they were auctioning the skeleton as these are independent fossil diggers. No guarantee it will be bought by a Museum/scientific organization to be studied vs being bought by some insanely wealthy private collector who will just lock it away in their private collection
Don't think that guy is a real cowboy, just playing dress up
If he was the real deal he wouldn't have to keep mentioning it. And he would tone it down with the ascot.
@@michaeldose2041 haha you said ascot
Unbelievable, finally!!
accountant turned rancher.. love the cosplay!
its gotta be true, when it is shown in a discovery channel series ... where else do real scientists publish their work?
Scientific journals
The Discovery Channel simply followed the discovery of this specimen, it's gonna take years for it to be properly diagnosed and submitted for peer review in a scientific journal. The scientist in this clip made some pretty compelling observations though, and his perspective is certainly not to be taken lightly.
"Rancher Finds T-Rex Bones That Turn Out To Be A Brand New Dinosaur Species"

- this and other purported specimens are NOT confirmed as a new species
