Three of these are easy. Life began through a process called abiogenesis. Consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. We don't go anywhere when we die because that is physically impossible. The afterlife is an invention. Spinosaurus is a tough one though.
@@kensmith5694 if we assume that advanced civilizations could indeed seed life using time travel, how can this influence understanding of life’s origins on Earth and the potential for life elsewhere in the universe?
@eloyball did life really begin? Is this a biblical entity's Matrix? Isn't half of us just one walking rib bone, or a "Sleeping Beauty" after eating an "apple".
Now that you said that, a new paper is going to come out soon to show evidence that Spinosaurus was never aquatic and was in fact a long distance pursuit hunter.
Alternatively it's jaw adaptions seem perfect for catching 'oversized prey' in the form of the mega fish, and diverse range of crocodillians in the rivers of Cenomanian North Africa.
A Stork like crocodile. Both eat fish, but also are opportunistic and will nom anything else that they can get ahold of in their jaws. I always personally had my own hypothesis about Spinosaursus doing this. They have large beautiful claws perfect for grabbing things, or helping drag them where they want.
According to the latest studies, Spinosaurus was a pterosaur, had a wingspan of 18 m, and plunged into the water like a torpedo, hunting fish and mermaids.
Also, I'm completely certain that the ability to process sounds as something that has meaning and assign that meaning to the sound is NOT something that humans evolved, instead it's an ancient cognitive trait that allowed humans to just upgrade it. Non-human animals clearly have complex languages, not just verbal ones, of course they need to be able to conceptualise things. So the marmosets using names is completely sensible. Some birds have been found out to have specific calls attributed to either food or threats, such as snakes. They are all lovely people.
Spinosaurus being a generalist has been known for years. No known piscivore has dentition that broad. However, the study did mention that this doesn't contribute to the "aquatic vs. terrestrial" debate. "Generalist" isn’t exclusively for land nor aquatic predators.
@@knaughta.masso-kist5944 Well, large for us at least, I seriously doubt it tackled something equal in size. It may have acted as a sort of big cat, stalking watering holes where it also lived waiting for wounded or old or sick prey of around a medium size or smaller to appear, I doubt it hunted from the water in this instance more than likely it would have hid off to the side and circled the prey from behind as it drank.
people can joke about Spinosaurus getting weirder, but to me, its getting more like the therapod dinosaur it started out as. People really wanted Spino to be this "water dragon." Even Ibrahim suggested it could have walked on all fours and that lead to a ton of paleo art supporting the idea; But as more detailed studies come out, it shown to be more less a therapod. This is what happened when Jack Horner just dropped that Trex could have been a scavenger only. Bottom line is this is what science is. New papers help to paint a clearer picture of the thing studied. Its beautiful and entertaining.
Exactly, it got weirded up in the middle and is just going back to where it was in the beginning i.e. walked on two legs on both land and in water, ate everything but liked fish the most, and had a sail and paddle tail.
Indeed even if it wasn't good at either diving or swimming nature doesn't give things paddle tails for no purpose(look at newts, eels, crocodilians etc.)@@AceEverett
I understand that there are studies for everything, but I will say that with or without a study on its diet it was pretty obvious to everyone that a giant land predator would occasionally eat more than just fish. Because every fishing land predator eats more than just fish. Even sometimes fully aquatic predators don't just eat fish.
Glad somebody said this. It irritated me for years how people would just put spino in this piscivore box when its smaller (allegedly) more piscivorous relatives ate more than just fish. Spinosaurus was enormous and I highly doubt it was hunting fish all day
@@outthewayna4407Admittedly the fish Spinosaurus hunted were very large animals often being great white shark sized however I’ve always agreed that Spinosaurus could absolutely hunt larger prey and I imagine such behavior would be very common during the dry season.
@@bennettfender9927 This as well yes. The fish spino hunted was the size of cars those teeth had to be serious but I fully believe it was hunting dinosaurs aswell
Spinosaurus is a mythical superbeing that somehow manifested itself into reality but it glitched so hard that reality tried to make it function like every species of dinosaur at the same time.
So spinosaurs were giant terrestrial fish eagles, interesting. All terrain vehicles. ETA: if fish existed, osprey like dinosaurs would exist, and spinosaurs would likely steal their prey like bald eagles and white tailed eagles do
Spinosaurus was probably just an all-rounder that spent most of its time in or near water, doesn't mean it couldn't catch small terrestrial prey, the thing was the size of a bus it doesn't matter if its teeth were better suited for fish they could very much be used to kill. My personal theory is that Spinosaurus lived near bodies of water rich in fish or other small aquatic prey, it could probably swim too, its sail was used both as a thermoregulation element and a display towards other members of its species, bigger crests that were possibly even coloured signified how healthy the animal was towards competitors for mates or territory or directly towards mates, it could hunt smaller prey on land too but I doubt it was the usual go-to it could've been more of an opportunistic act or a desperate one when times were hard. We are not just talking about a bunch of bones here, we are talking about a once living breathing animal all with its behaviours and quirks, those don't usually fossilize.
I don't get why people are so surprised that spinosaurs couldve hunted land prey as well - did yall forget about the Baryonyx with an Iguanodon ankle bone in its stomach? Or spinosaur teeth in pterosaur vertebrae?

While truly giant herbivores were probably off the menu (with the exception of potential scavenging), it definitely tracks that Spinosaurids could have taken any soft-bodied, small and medium sized dinosaurs if they wanted.
@@taptiotrevizo9415 Well it depends on the specific sauropod taxon but generally adult sauropods were immune from predation from predators in their environment.

It’s never going to stop any time soon. The entire existence could end, restart several times over, for countless times, and the spino debacle will still be on going.
I really want the subtlety terrifying demon loon thats the coolest depiction so far. Imagine you're thirsty exploring the prehistoric Sahara Wetlands and stop at a giant lake for some water for your camp... Suddenly you hear a booming head rattling version of a loon cry... Then watching what looks like a large silhouetted sail boat quietly drifting toward you obscured by the setting sun.. Then it dives... just before you get a good look...
"What is your field of study?" "I'm researching Phee-call dialects." "... ... ...uhmmm... Is it like... A... Doctor Who thing? Like? Like Slitheen but different new species? Or you know, shitty communication of sorts?"
Sometimes it also jumped into the air to catch some unwary pterodactyls and early avians. When it didn't dig into earth to catch some mammals. And then it laughed the Evil Overlord laugh, thinking of the fun of confusing some future pesky mammal paleontologists.
I think I have had an insight into Spinasaurian behaviour I have never heard anyone propose. I am a fish keeper and I have stopped using white nets because fish will do anything they can to stay away from it but when I use a black net they are just as likely to dive into it. I use the same technique I believe they did. I use a second net to coral the fish into my strike zone by creating eddies in the water and as I said often they swim into my stationery net before I can move. As I believe a shore line predator ,resident of the vast tropical wetlands ,I define it as a trap setting predator. Picture this image. A Spinosaurus sitting on its favourite perch ,possibly a large smooth rock that extends down into the water below it. It is sitting very still and can see through the surface of the water because the carefully positioned shadow of his fin is preventing ‘glare’. As it sees (a?) fish swimming into its hunting position it dips the tip of its Vertebrae full, highly flexible tail in, or further into the water. By practised use of its laterally flattened (Oar blade) it starts to coral the fish. It knows that when fish get nervous they like to seek dark places so the further into its trap they swim the more forcefully it can “Corral” them. Now this shaded pool near the bank feels like a place to hide, to the fish. Now the Spinosaurus delivers a lateral, side swipe, of its vertically compressed mussel that gives it the least resistance to sideways movement through water. At this point its mouth that needs to be opened as little as possible (because fish react very fast ) is perfectly formed to hold fish or at a pinch severely damage them with the rake-like teeth that protrude beyond its jaw. With respect to the Terrestrial pray it consumed , I would not doubt that it would Strick at anything that got too close or at least that was available to scavage or "Finnish off".
Hello Ben G Thomas, this videos is Amazing and good 👍 i love watching dinosaur things. But i dunno what she is talking about the Spino. Everybody konws that spinosaurus were able eat meat and chase. But i learnd many things about the monkey and this video is absolutely Amazing. Guys i love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your works on this Channel.
“Studies have recently shown that Spinosaurus’ bones have been cursed by an Egyptian Pharaoh making scholars never shut the fuck up about it.” Shitpost aside, I absolutely loved this episode. Great work as always.
I reckon you'd find that Spinosaurus could have eaten whatever it damned well liked! Just a tRICKy opinion, though probably universal! Nice work guys, always a fan!
Spino is still a large and powerful animal of course it's going to take what prey it can in regards to land prey. Saying that it's adaptions strike me as absolutely what you would expect for a giant fish eater, that is eating giant armoured fish and crocodiles. Like a chunky 4-5m ceolocanth is still 'oversized prey'.
This study on the jaw and tooth shape of Spinosaurus seems believable, although I'm not sure what terrestrial prey it would go after, it seems like the larger and more powerful jaw would be used to larger aquatic prey and perhaps crocodilians or shallow water turtles, being an active land predator doesn't make much sense
I feel it does make sense if crocodiles have the ability to to “large animals” In spinos case do I think it was going after sauropods No, but medium sized prey or even large prey smaller than massive sauropods, I think it could with its claws included. People think just cause it had conical teeth it couldn’t do damage. The truth is nobody knows. Fish though filling that massive predator idk it just doesn’t fit. Fish can fill you up but they couldn’t have been the only thing. Ive seen what crocodile teeth can do with force behind it. And they are saying that spinos teeth was just similar but wasn’t even like those on a crocodile so who knows. They could have done damage. Maybe not like Giga or T Rex but i believe they would have done some type of damage to large prey
Greetings from Hungary! "Just in case croc evolution couldn't get any more complicated." Wait until someone proposes that spinosaurids were 'actually' crocodylomorphs.
So while the spinosaurus simply turns into something unrecognisable with each discovery, the t rex just unlocks more and more of the power of friendship... But enough about Dragon Balls.

Spinosaurus is like a bear minus herbivore niche
Sometimes it also jumped into the air to catch some unwary pterodactyls and early avians. When it didn't dig into earth to catch some mammals. And then it laughed the Evil Overlord laugh, thinking of the fun of confusing some future pesky mammal paleontologists.
At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if spinosaurus was announced to be a late surviving tullimonstrum.
He can't keep getting away with this!
I think I have had an insight into Spinasaurian behaviour I have never heard anyone propose.
I am a fish keeper and I have stopped using white nets because fish will do anything they can to stay away from it but when I use a black net they are just as likely to dive into it.
I use the same technique I believe they did. I use a second net to coral the fish into my strike zone by creating eddies in the water and as I said often they swim into my stationery net before I can move.
As I believe a shore line predator ,resident of the vast tropical wetlands ,I define it as a trap setting predator. Picture this image.
A Spinosaurus sitting on its favourite perch ,possibly a large smooth rock that extends down into the water below it. It is sitting very still and can see through the surface of the water because the carefully positioned shadow of his fin is preventing ‘glare’.
As it sees (a?) fish swimming into its hunting position it dips the tip of its Vertebrae full, highly flexible tail in, or further into the water. By practised use of its laterally flattened (Oar blade) it starts to coral the fish. It knows that when fish get nervous they like to seek dark places so the further into its trap they swim the more forcefully it can “Corral” them.
Now this shaded pool near the bank feels like a place to hide, to the fish.
Now the Spinosaurus delivers a lateral, side swipe, of its vertically compressed mussel that gives it the least resistance to sideways movement through water. At this point its mouth that needs to be opened as little as possible (because fish react very fast ) is perfectly formed to hold fish or at a pinch severely damage them with the rake-like teeth that protrude beyond its jaw.
With respect to the Terrestrial pray it consumed , I would not doubt that it would Strick at anything that got too close or at least that was available to scavage or "Finnish off".
Yayyyy! Finally, Emilia is back 😎
Hello Ben G Thomas, this videos is Amazing and good 👍 i love watching dinosaur things. But i dunno what she is talking about the Spino. Everybody konws that spinosaurus were able eat meat and chase. But i learnd many things about the monkey and this video is absolutely Amazing. Guys i love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your works on this Channel.
“Studies have recently shown that Spinosaurus’ bones have been cursed by an Egyptian Pharaoh making scholars never shut the fuck up about it.”
Shitpost aside, I absolutely loved this episode. Great work as always.
I reckon you'd find that Spinosaurus could have eaten whatever it damned well liked! Just a tRICKy opinion, though probably universal! Nice work guys, always a fan!
Right now if scientists tell me that spinosaurs had evolved the ability to use tools, I'll believe it
Spino is still a large and powerful animal of course it's going to take what prey it can in regards to land prey. Saying that it's adaptions strike me as absolutely what you would expect for a giant fish eater, that is eating giant armoured fish and crocodiles. Like a chunky 4-5m ceolocanth is still 'oversized prey'.
Spinosaurus appears to have been singularly adapted to a unique, hyper specific niche: Confounding paleontologists.
❤ from Chicago … you guys Rock!!!
I will wait for a study that says that Spino was primarily eating mushrooms.
This study on the jaw and tooth shape of Spinosaurus seems believable, although I'm not sure what terrestrial prey it would go after, it seems like the larger and more powerful jaw would be used to larger aquatic prey and perhaps crocodilians or shallow water turtles, being an active land predator doesn't make much sense
I feel it does make sense if crocodiles have the ability to to “large animals” In spinos case do I think it was going after sauropods No, but medium sized prey or even large prey smaller than massive sauropods, I think it could with its claws included. People think just cause it had conical teeth it couldn’t do damage. The truth is nobody knows. Fish though filling that massive predator idk it just doesn’t fit. Fish can fill you up but they couldn’t have been the only thing. Ive seen what crocodile teeth can do with force behind it. And they are saying that spinos teeth was just similar but wasn’t even like those on a crocodile so who knows. They could have done damage. Maybe not like Giga or T Rex but i believe they would have done some type of damage to large prey
Spinosaurus is so fun and silly, every few weeks there is a new lore update on this lil freak
Greetings from Hungary!
"Just in case croc evolution couldn't get any more complicated." Wait until someone proposes that spinosaurids were 'actually' crocodylomorphs.
The Spino debate rages on!
For how specialized Spinosaurus body plan was to the rivers of ancient north was. What would have been the biggest land animal it could have hunted?
imo, it would likely have been medium-sized herbivores or smaller theropods, like Hippodraco??
Not at all surprised. Crocodilians mostly eat fish but can also eat larger land animals, and the same applied to larger phytosaurs.
So while the spinosaurus simply turns into something unrecognisable with each discovery, the t rex just unlocks more and more of the power of friendship...
But enough about Dragon Balls.
