      This is the first _sponsored video_ right? Celebration time! 🥳🎉
      Always a good day when I see Paleo Analysis uploaded, the world melts away until it can be watched in peace. 😎
      Thank you for the channel! 😁
      My only complaint, is if you could turn the volume up a bit. I think being on a device I cannot get it loud enough. ❤️

      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.

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

      This is a wonderful comment, your dad was awesome bringing those magazines home to you. I used to buy as many dinosaur toys for my child as long as they were as factually accurate for that time and they will tell me how fond their memories are of that time in their life. It feels great to be the parent that excites your childs imagination. Hats off to your dad!

    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.

    I actually think that the face is still perceived wrong. I mean if horizontal and vertical compression both leave a flattened “mouth” of a similar width in either direction, wouldn’t it be more logical to assume an originally circular shape. That admittedly still looks odd but makes it way more functional in terms of increased area of food intake and proportion to the rest of the head.
    Correct me if the skeleton proves otherwise
