    #triassic #paleoanalysis #atopodentatus
    So just like in my last video I decided to cover a topic that I have been asked about in the comments section of several of my videos. I have talked a lot about some of the bizarre and unique animals that existed during the Triassic period, but out of all that we've discussed the one animal I have had the most questions about is the strange hammer headed reptile called Atopodentatus. And seeing as it has an interesting story behind it's freakish face, I figured it would be fun to talk about in a video!

      I find it fascinating that so many species across the past evolved long neck but today there is really only the Giraffe with this kind of feature. I wonder what has changed to make that kind of specialization seemingly more rare.

  • @LawrenceMiles1972

    Also, "Atopodentatus" means "weirdtooth", which is a very "Land Before Time" sort of name for a prehistoric reptile.

    I would love to see something about the development of eyes, especially the quality of vision that was available during different periods. When I was young dinosaurs were always portrayed as drab grey beasts. I know we know that there was colour in these animals but when did it start. Was there a point in the predator prey arms race where sight would have been limited enough that creatures did not have the need for colour. Was there also a point where nature may have come up with "razzle dazzle" type camouflage like was seen on WW1 ships.
