      Same here, that was 10 years ago for me but I remember he looked like a pachycephalosaur and his wife was a tv weather anchor, he was my math teacher. Good guy, he would let me and my buddy go do whatever we wanted as long as we finished the work. Still don't know if he realized we were going out to sneak cigarettes before the next period

    Another very interesting video. On a unique species of Dinosaur. The large Dome on this particular species. Yes it as you indicated was used to ram it's opponent. Yet also as it grew it may in the Male of the species. May be used to attract potential mates. As one see today in various species of Deer. I really found this video most interesting. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

    This is actually a great channel, wish I stumbled upon this earlier. The Pachy (God knows I’m not winning the spelling bee, Pachycephalosaurus.) was definitely my favorite dinosaur besides the Triceratops and I never knew of the contents discussed in this video, that it was omnivorous or had other species that could just be different stages in age or sex!

    This dinosaur's always been on my mind since I was a kid, having seen them in movies like The Land Before Time, and in books. Plus The Lost World novel and movie.
    Although more recently it feels like this one's got the most unfortunate name. I remember reading in the newspaper some British rapper taking issue with Jurassic World because the name "Pachycephalosaurus" sounds a lot like a certain ethnic slur.
    And I don't know how much traction that story made but it certainly is suspicious that the sequel used Stygimoloch instead of Pachycephalosaurus. 🦖

    • @dino-gen
      @dino-gen  Рік тому +4

      Yeah it’s funny, I spoke with my girlfriend about this dinosaur’s relation to that slur, but a few dinosaurs name has that word, simply because it translates to ‘thick’. At the end of the day, these names were created loooooong before the ethnic slurs were, so it’s strange that people bring it up as an issue

    First 😎
    I wonder, what about foxes and coyotes for example. They exist and fill similar niches in my local area, perhaps their fossils would be similar and could be categorized as the same. I feel like the different skulls did have different eye sockets and jaws, although at the same time different sexes within a species can look drastically different too. A tough one, but perhaps there could be multiple pachy species like dog species

      Fun fact, these dinosaurs lived in Newfoundland Quebec.

    • @dino-gen
      @dino-gen  Рік тому +2

      Yes, this is true. It's tough to say for certain, maybe they were different species but had lifestyles that were more different than the fossils would suggest. Foxes and coyotes are in a similar vein, but they do hunt quite different food with foxes being more generalist and coyotes being more specialist, so they don't tread on each other's paws too much. But, again, how well can that fact fossilise? So, I personally think it is unlikely, but most certainly not impossible

    • @paladinkhan
      @paladinkhan Рік тому

      @dino-gen well worded. We can only know of these animals for certain what we find in their fossils, but otherwise its speculation. A curious case but one that will surely become more certain with more time and more samples.

    I'm still out on the relationships between the skull types. The skulls appear to different. I'm having trouble visualizing how one would morph into the others. Not against the theory - just cautious.

    I'll say it's weird. The headcase and skull in the Natural History Museum in London are massive and could only fit on the neck of a massive dinosaur. And the size placard hasn't been changed from the 80s books which stated it was the size of a large duckbill and bigger than Tyrannosaurus, yet since the early 90s, it's been measured as barely man-sized?! WTF?! Surely that's it's 3rd weird factor? Has everyone else somehow missed this, have they not SEEN the skull in the display case and the size-graph scaled against a human? You must not have done, and why hasn't the Museum changed this? What about all other museums or are they just the one to make this mistake (if it is) and keep it?

    If they don’t use their dome to smash directly into each other like Bighorn rams, wouldn’t that mean that the larger spikes indicate a male? The larger females had smaller spikes and huge heads for their huge bodies, and males were smaller and more agile with larger spikes for real damage in combat. I’m just making this up on the spot, but it seems like during combat they may have tried to hook their spikes behind their opponents head, to then thrash and joust with the spikes to damage the soft neck. Like a boar? Also I’ve just always strongly felt that the big headed ones were female, for no particular reason. This is my favorite dinosaur, thanks for making this video!

    Grab your seat kids. This is who built the megalith culture, way older cousins. Think Unidentified phenomena (UAP/drones). Older earth beings. Humans are so arrogant, can't stand to not be top dog.
