Dinosaur paleontologist here. I gotta say, this is absolutely one of the best science communication videos I've seen in a LONG time. What a wonderful, concise, accurate, and entertaining primer on modern dinosaur science -- and you can bet I'll be recommending this video to folks who want a quick re-introduction to dinosaurs. Thank you for making my job easier.
The animals have been over shrink wrapped are so it's worth noting that mammals have hair covering their body most dinosaurs did not at least from according to the knowledge we had at the time
And we only do dinosaurs like that in the most extreme cases most of the times they were not that bad Jurassic Park for example although they dinosaurs have literally bones showing out from the stomach region discuss sinuses are almost entirely filled and covered by tissue
@@Paleo_Curious Dinosaurs weren't hairy, true. But many had feathers. And that was before they took flight - they had feathers for the same reason we have hair, for thermal regulation. Hollow bones are another thing they had before flying. But as Archaeoptersk shows, beaks came after.
I'm a tour guide at an Australian dinosaur museum. This is SUCH a good overview of so many dinosaur FAQs! And I literally say "it's like the world's biggest jigsaw puzzle, but with half the pieces missing and we don't even have the lid of the box to look at" and compare internal bone to Aero Bars! 😁
YES as someone in school for paleontology, it's hard to explain to others how difficult it is to come to conclusions and peice things together even if there are thousands of bones on a site and when I heard that analogy I feel like I can explain it so much better now ^^
My 8 year old daughter, who is traditionally pretty resistant to learning anything slightly scientific, LOVED this video. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your energy is super engaging. Thanks for making something we can enjoy together. ❤
Stegosaurus being older to a T-Rex than a T-Rex is to us might be the craziest fact to wrap your head around. Like these are some incomprehensible time scales
A similar fact I learned recently is that there is more time between the first and last trilobites, than between the last trilobites and today, which is insane when you remember that they went extinct before the first dinosaurs evolved!
The last few sentences carried such a great message. All form of life is so fascinating and precious on its own way. These animals are as equally amazing as the fact that we humans care so much about studying them. Great content, and your enthusiasm is so catching.
It is worth noting, the “velociraptor” in Jurassic Park did exist. It’s actually called Deinonychus. Aside from the anatomy, they’re also found in North America, as we see depicted at the beginning of the film.
i knew about it but i now wonder what Crichton's idea originally was. did he imagine them to be easy to underestimate bc their strength would come from their pack behaviour? or did he just choose to use the velociraptor name because it's more transparent to English speakers?
I like all your videos really as a general rule. But man, this video of them all, really encapsulates the "optimistic (tech) stories" mantra. Seeing your eyes light up when you arrive at the dig site, when you managed to dig up an actual dinusaur fossil, and any time you got to learn something new? It had me smiling along the whole time! thanks for taking us with you on this journey. I am sure many more that grew up with a land before time and jurassic park grew up loving dinosaurs, and i am kinda sad i never realized going into paleontology was something i could have done, working in IT now, i wish i was able to dig up dinosaurs insatead :D
@@CleoAbramI'm taking my grandson out in the field to dig for fossils pretty soon. I hope his excitement surpasses yours. It's fun AF being the "let's go dig for fossils" grandpa.
If you ever see this comment I just wanted to say that your videos are fantastic. I'm a field biologist (I study mostly carnivores now but lots of other critters) and I know a little bit more than average about this topic because I have a brother who is a paleontologist (he studied dinos in the past but now works on Pleistocene/Ice Age mammals in the Serengeti). The visuals and enthusiasm here are so great! I literally look forward to these more than any other on youtube
>make a big deal out of explaining that not all dinosaurs lived at the same time >mix and match animals from different periods when showing the extinction Overall great video for a basic breakdown and the genuine enthusiasm is contagious, but the animators really dropped the ball there - Ouranosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Compsognathus and Pteranodon (at least that's what I think these are supposed to be in the background) don't belong in the end Cretaceous!
And neither does the Pachyrhinosaurus. Well, not THAT far into the Cretaceous, anyway. That and the inclusion of Dimetrodon as a Dinosaur bugged me as well.
Hey, this is a great point. We've added a note that will pop up in that section. Thank you for helping make Huge If True better! I sincerely appreciate it.
Cool to see this video out! The parts filmed at a fossil site is at the Pipestone Creek Bonebed near Wembley Alberta where we find mostly Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai fossils and the lab/collections was in the Philip J.

That's why fossils are so amazing, millions and millions of years just in your hand, species that once were, a very long time ago, but yet a part of life and it's evolution that makes up you and me, a time where Earth was a tropical place full of life and natural richness, just amazing.

It is an amazing feeling exploring the Badlands and even more so if/when you find an actual fossil. I found my first fossil in 1975 and more throughout the years.

One thing that bugs me about dinosaurs in the movies is the sound effects . I've been around elephants and rhino's and when they walk and run they're quiet . Really huge dinosaurs didn't make stomping noises ( thunder lizards ) , they were stealthy . The ground didn't shake under them . We also know that they didn't roar but instead hissed and chirped . Their vocal cords were much different than mammals .
@@thereturnofthemac Birds are dinosaurs , they have vocal cords and we know how they sound . It's not hard to extrapolate , which many experts have already done . Educated guesses are part of science .
4:35, small side note, for anyone who doesn’t know this, but the size of the Velociraptor’s in Jurassic Park was based off a real dinosaur, the Deinonychus, a relative to the Velociraptor. When Crichton was writing Jurassic Park, he took heavy inspiration from Gregory S. Paul’s 1988 book “Predatory Dinosaurs of the World”, which stated that Deinonychus was a sub-species of Velociraptor.
They actually got kinda lucky with this -- because right around the time folks began to complain that the "Velociraptors" in the movie were just too darn big, good ol' Utahraptor was discovered... so close in size to the creatures in the movie that it's almost scary. What's funny is that, because of the timing, Utahraptor ostrommaysi was *almost* named something like U. spielbergensis but the studio was so busy threatening anyone who used the word "Jurassic" or anything else they thought was a rip-off of the film, it was instead -- more properly, in my mind -- named after someone actually involved in its discovery, rather than its popularization. :-)
@@nairbvelthis is not accurate. It is true that Utahraptor was described soon after the film was released, however Utahraptor absolutely dwarfs the "Velociraptor" in the Jurassic Park movies.
“Our ideas about dinosaurs are outdated” This is hilarious. And brilliant. Of course they are… they’re dinosaurs. I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob (Vegie Tales fans unite!!). Your enthusiasm is so inspiring. I was lucky enough to have a job that was like Christmas morning when you’re 8 years old. Every day of my working life. But I feel like you beat me on this day. ❤
Once you discover a dino bone of your own you join a special club! I oversaw a dig site in Texas for five years where over 2000 specimens of animals, crocs, sharks, fish, frogs, turtles ,coprolites and many more! The site is now under a housing development as Texas doesn't protect dino sites. Love your program!
that you told me most dinos were chonky makes me want to hug all of them. I'm so excited you got to go digging with a team. I'm seriously excited for you as my second grade self has always wanted the chance for this. Thanks for sharing all of this with us. Wooo science updates
Palaeontology fan and hopefully one day Palaeontologist here. This video is by far one of the best videos I've seen of this kind (As in fairly simple introductory videos to Palaeontology and Dinosaurs from channels that aren't focused on Palaeontology) ever, the most I could say that's wrong with it the video is nit-picks like some inaccuracies in the design of some of the animated creatures (Most prominently the pronated wrists) and it leaving out some information. Otherwise it got as far as I can tell pretty much everything right and covered a fairly broad variety of topics. I will say I was under the impression that Dreadnoughtus were bigger but that very well could just be a lack in my knowledge.
"Dinosaurs are still alive" gave me chills , cleo this video was so amazing ,i love your content and the effort you put in to these videos and i hope you know that your journalism and content is much appreciated ❤
@@Dammiunnomevalido Indeed it is. Me writing "monophyletic clades" was pretty redundant. I failed to properly make up my mind about whether to write "monophyletic group" or "clade" and this is what came out of it 😅
Cleo, your videos are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I am subscribed to the best science channels and every time you ask the right questions, in the most curious way and you answer them so well! Your work is stunning, I deeply appreciate it, thank you!
I love this but many Christians want to deny the timelines of science. It would be amazing. I think you're the perfect person to do this. Any kind of debunking of radio carbon dating. You're one of the best people that can actually bring this proof to the masses.
What time line is that? A lot of people seen and wrote about Dinosaurs. They have never found Dinosaurs with feathers. Dinosaur evolving to chickens is a fairytale.
Tell me you know nothing about Earth's history without telling me you know nothing about Earth's history. And I say this as a Christian myself. I'm also Catholic (catechumen). @@dallashayley8986
People need to stop hating on the appearance of the ‘dinosaurs’ in Jurassic Park. They clearly say they created them off the mixed DNA of multiple animals, it can look however they wanted it to and not be ‘incorrect’
While that’s the case for the later movies, the dinosaurs in the original Jurassic Park were the most accurate put to screen at the time (a few case of artistic license notwithstanding). The filmmakers put a lot of effort into making them as accurate as possible.
I have loved dinosaurs my whole life. I try to keep up with as much as I can when it comes to new info, but sometimes I just feel uninterested. This video kept me engaged the whole time and it felt so nice to learn alongside Cleo. This was really what I needed.
Thanks for this episode, I have loved dinosaurs since I was a child and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, reading about their extinction always made me feel sad, like the death of a friend. To think that something lived on this earth millions of years ago is so abstract but also wonderful
Top-notch video as usual! After watching this, I'm surprised by just how LITTLE we know about the dinosaurs. Yeah we learned a lot and we're learning more than ever, but the fact that something as basic as color is STILL a mystery is wild to me. All of our scientific advancement and new technology, but we're not 100% sure about what color they were, if they had skin flaps, feathers, etc. I'm excited to see how much we find out in the future with AI tools!
That's so awesome! One of the most amazing things to me - chances are high that when you found that bone - you were the first to ever see it. The dinosaur never saw it. It was covered in Dinosaur parts. So yours are the first eyes to ever see it!
Most people can’t imagine Chickens being modern Dinosaurs I tried to explain this to my 4yr old daughter few months ago because Land before time is one of our favorite movies to watch together 1 especially but 1-13 is on the list and she looked at me like I was crazy 😂…
Obligatory bird comment - birds breath in and out simultaneously! As for me, I can only breath in with my nose and mouth at the same time, or out with my nose and mouth at the same time.
Watching this while having breakfast with a scrambled dinosaur egg hits different. Oh wait, not sure if I want to cook dinosaur biriyani this week. Great video! Thank you so much
Overall this is a good video for a general audience. I want to point out a little smudge at 6:06, humans didn't diverge from apes. Much like birds are dinosaurs, humans *are* apes.
Hi Cleo! Enjoyed your video but I've a serious question. If humans evolved to have intelligence and civilisation in such a short time historically, why didn't the dinosaurs when they lived much longer?
Well, there are dinosaurs that are arguably more intelligent than most mammals (see corvids and parrots). You have to remember that all life today has been evolving for the same amount of time, it's not like mammals just appeared after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct.
As someone who was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid, this video made me wanna jump through the tv and join! Doing what you did is on my bucket list. Awesome video Cleo!!
this was an amazing and sooo interesting - huge appreciation to everyone that worked on that! also Cleo you being so enthusiastic and honestly interested is simply wonderful to see! Keep it up and much love from Germany.
Man is 65 million years removed from T-Rex, T-Rex is more like 85 million years removed from Stegosaurus. Also Dimetrodon is commonly included in a plastic "dino pack" but it is more closely related to mammals than dinosaurs, and is also around 80 million years removed from T-Rex.
T-rex lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, and Dimetrodon lived prior to the end of the Permian, so it's more than 100 million years between Dimetrodon and T-rex.
I actually started tearing up at the skin impression part. The idea that MILLIONS of years ago, these animals thrived, died, and were lost to time, but even now we're able to see them, albeit just barely, is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard of.
this is why I love following science news, so many new things to discover every single day!! please keep making these videos, Cleo! we need this so much, thank youu! ❤️❤️
"Birds are dinosaurs." You should look into the Novosaur Project AKA the "chickenosaurus". It's the genetic endeavor to create birds with the classic dinosaur features of snouts with teeth instead of beaks, arms with fingers instead of wings, and long reptile tails instead of avian ones. In fact, embryos have already been created with snouts and arms; though none have been allowed to hatch yet. The ancestral dinosaur tail however is proving difficult to recreate.
JP raptors were basically a bit oversized Deinonychus, which means terrible claw. A few years after the book release a new raptor species was found, the Utah raptor, which is the closest raptor in relation to size. However, Utah raptor sounds more like a Mormon punk rock band than a man eating Dino.
Yeah, I was surprised this wasn't mentioned; they very well knew that the "Velociraptors" in the movie weren't even supposed to be actual Velociraptors, but they just used the name because it's so cool sounding.
I love your videos because you have the curiosity of a child intact. You experiencing these things really shines through and you share it amazingly well. Compare this to many others that would present these facts as dull as darkness in winter. You literally make it more exciting and I love that about this channel! Also a shoutout to the animators for the great animations!
Since no one seems to have said it: I appreciate your title so much. Many many videos have titles about "here are things you didn't know about" or " everything you know is wrong" painting the video creator and viewer as an ignorant person. If I watch one of those and I already know the information, I feel like we should take collective offense. It is minutiae I didn't know I felt like the title misled the scale of my ignorance. Thank you for being excited about learning.
We literally just posted a video on how to quickly identify if a fossil display is real or replica...and UA-cam pops this in my algorithm! You and your production value are out of this world. Well done doesn't even BEGIN to cover the kudos you deserve. Exceptional. If you're ever in Houston, feel free to stop in! - Johnny, HMNS UA-cam & "HMNS Beyond Bones Podcast" Manager
I cannot express how excited I am to see a huge creator make paleontology content, the funding and field itself is suffering financially and struggling to maintain public interest, which is the only way they can get funding to continue research, it's a lot more important than some will lead you to believe, they're not just finding a set of bones and naming them "Fredasaurus" They're looking for world history, everything from atmospheric conditions, to discovering lost lineages of creatures, ones that were our and other animals predecessors, and others that went through millions of years of evolution of their own. Just to die and be found, these things tell us more about life and our place in the world than any amount of religion or philosophy, Thankyou.
This episode was strangely beautiful. Connecting ourselves to human history to the vast history of the earth, bringing out our childhood wonder of dinosaurs with our scientific curiosities. Just a really fantastic journey. Thank you!
I just became a subscriber, so I have to thank you for this channel. There are so many great videos with fantastic information. I've been binge-watching to catch up. I'm 70 years old and I truly enjoy learning new things about all types of subjects. Wish I was like this when I was in school. Thanks again, Cleo and your team.
I’m not sure how much of the recorded footage actually makes it into the episodes, but I imagine it’s a lot more than what we see on UA-cam. Especially in episodes where Cleo gets directly involved, I’d love to see more of the details-like the actual process of working on the discovered fossil. The main videos are great for presenting a topic and making it accessible, but I think an extended episode would be a great way to let viewers experience more of the moments and experiences Cleo has during the production.
Pretty much knew all of this I already, but good on you. We need more people like you talking about this stuff with a genuine passion and not trying to come off as an "intellectual." Just the passionate truth without any drama or anything.
I never in my life saw someone talking about a topic with such love and enthusiasm. I absolutely love your videos Cleo, keep up with the great content 🩷

Shrink-wrapping animals is such a good analogy to how artists have drawn dinosaurs! The zebra, baboon and hippo examples were awesome!

@@nairbvelthis is not accurate. It is true that Utahraptor was described soon after the film was released, however Utahraptor absolutely dwarfs the "Velociraptor" in the Jurassic Park movies.
“Our ideas about dinosaurs are outdated” This is hilarious. And brilliant. Of course they are… they’re dinosaurs. I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob (Vegie Tales fans unite!!). Your enthusiasm is so inspiring. I was lucky enough to have a job that was like Christmas morning when you’re 8 years old. Every day of my working life. But I feel like you beat me on this day. ❤
Once you discover a dino bone of your own you join a special club! I oversaw a dig site in Texas for five years where over 2000 specimens of animals, crocs, sharks, fish, frogs, turtles ,coprolites and many more! The site is now under a housing development as Texas doesn't protect dino sites. Love your program!
Classic Texas
that you told me most dinos were chonky makes me want to hug all of them. I'm so excited you got to go digging with a team. I'm seriously excited for you as my second grade self has always wanted the chance for this. Thanks for sharing all of this with us. Wooo science updates
2:58 Ayy...what da dog doin?🤨
He called dibs on the bones
Biiiig bones!...mine! Woofff😂
The paradise 😄
Probably is trained and is smelling for dinosaur bones
Searching for bones😂
Every single episode you put out was just utterly amazing and always leaves me wanting more!
You should come to Australia and see a living dinosaur, the Cassowary.
Well, technically, so are emu's, and all birds, but, the point still stands
There's also our former Prime Minister John Howard, who's another Dinosaur.
@@richardhaselwood9478 yes but the cassowary is a force to be reckoned with. It kind of makes the emu look like a puppy in comparison.

@@AwwwThatsMintocs Agreed. Emu's don't worry me too much but Cassowary's give me the heebies
Fun fact: Today there are twice as many dinosaur species as there are mammal species.
They're making a comeback. Revenge of the Dinosaurs!
Palaeontology fan and hopefully one day Palaeontologist here. This video is by far one of the best videos I've seen of this kind (As in fairly simple introductory videos to Palaeontology and Dinosaurs from channels that aren't focused on Palaeontology) ever, the most I could say that's wrong with it the video is nit-picks like some inaccuracies in the design of some of the animated creatures (Most prominently the pronated wrists) and it leaving out some information. Otherwise it got as far as I can tell pretty much everything right and covered a fairly broad variety of topics. I will say I was under the impression that Dreadnoughtus were bigger but that very well could just be a lack in my knowledge.
"Dinosaurs are still alive" gave me chills , cleo this video was so amazing ,i love your content and the effort you put in to these videos and i hope you know that your journalism and content is much appreciated ❤
12:50 is one of the best visual explanations for how cladistic taxonomy works that I’ve seen in popular-scientific videos so far, congrats!
Isn't a clade a monophyletic group by definition?
@@Dammiunnomevalido Indeed it is. Me writing "monophyletic clades" was pretty redundant. I failed to properly make up my mind about whether to write "monophyletic group" or "clade" and this is what came out of it 😅
@@Ornitholestes1 no problem, thank you for clarifying. 🙂
Clint's Reptiles also does a decent job at it
Cleo, your videos are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I am subscribed to the best science channels and every time you ask the right questions, in the most curious way and you answer them so well! Your work is stunning, I deeply appreciate it, thank you!
It also helps that she loves what I love, smart AF and she is incredibly hot!
Yall the production for this video is really amazing! We're living the Cleo Cinematic Universe at this point
it prolly is... if ur a child or teen with a short attention span.
I love this but many Christians want to deny the timelines of science. It would be amazing. I think you're the perfect person to do this. Any kind of debunking of radio carbon dating. You're one of the best people that can actually bring this proof to the masses.
What time line is that? A lot of people seen and wrote about Dinosaurs. They have never found Dinosaurs with feathers. Dinosaur evolving to chickens is a fairytale.
@@dallashayley8986 "They have never found Dinosaurs with feathers"
Huhh... she litteraly shows them in the video man...
Tell me you know nothing about Earth's history without telling me you know nothing about Earth's history. And I say this as a Christian myself. I'm also Catholic (catechumen). @@dallashayley8986
I recently graduated from community College, one of my last classes was .....Dinosaurs! Twas one of my favorite classes!❤❤❤
Love this video!
People need to stop hating on the appearance of the ‘dinosaurs’ in Jurassic Park. They clearly say they created them off the mixed DNA of multiple animals, it can look however they wanted it to and not be ‘incorrect’
While that’s the case for the later movies, the dinosaurs in the original Jurassic Park were the most accurate put to screen at the time (a few case of artistic license notwithstanding). The filmmakers put a lot of effort into making them as accurate as possible.
my only problem with this video is its WAY TOO SHORT PLEASE DO MORE
OMG it’s us 14:42 !! The dinosaur’s skin!! 🦖🦖🦖
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Yooooooo
Retro pertol and Jurassic ride are great tracks keep it up
How did I just learn more about Dinos in 20 min than in the last 20 years? Also the Enthusigasms are fantastic! Made my day!
I have loved dinosaurs my whole life. I try to keep up with as much as I can when it comes to new info, but sometimes I just feel uninterested. This video kept me engaged the whole time and it felt so nice to learn alongside Cleo. This was really what I needed.
17:00 "THEY'RE MINERALS, MARIE!"
I love the doggy’s vibe at the bone site, he’s like “yeah, I found all these bones”
Someone's joining Dinosaur December ❤
My thought exactly! 😊
Thanks for this episode, I have loved dinosaurs since I was a child and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, reading about their extinction always made me feel sad, like the death of a friend. To think that something lived on this earth millions of years ago is so abstract but also wonderful
This is proper content. A good narrative and strong credibility. Kudos to Cleo. She should be an inspiration for all UA-camrs.
Nah even dinosaurs got cancer 💀
Wait, that can’t be true! I thought cancer was caused by artificial chemicals.
Maybe that was just a deformity?
There's a reason why it's called the Emperor of maladies.
Top-notch video as usual!
After watching this, I'm surprised by just how LITTLE we know about the dinosaurs. Yeah we learned a lot and we're learning more than ever, but the fact that something as basic as color is STILL a mystery is wild to me.
All of our scientific advancement and new technology, but we're not 100% sure about what color they were, if they had skin flaps, feathers, etc.
I'm excited to see how much we find out in the future with AI tools!
AI tools are man-made .. would be just as good as guess as a toddler
By far one of the best 20 minutes I have ever experienced! Thanks Cleo for the AMAZING content!
That's so awesome! One of the most amazing things to me - chances are high that when you found that bone - you were the first to ever see it. The dinosaur never saw it. It was covered in Dinosaur parts. So yours are the first eyes to ever see it!
Most people can’t imagine Chickens being modern Dinosaurs I tried to explain this to my 4yr old daughter few months ago because Land before time is one of our favorite movies to watch together 1 especially but 1-13 is on the list and she looked at me like I was crazy 😂…
Obligatory bird comment - birds breath in and out simultaneously! As for me, I can only breath in with my nose and mouth at the same time, or out with my nose and mouth at the same time.
bot came here too
@@savvysatvik Is the bot in the room with us?
Ge sees everythinggggg🫣@@just_mdd4
@@just_mdd4 yes
@@savvysatvik Where are they?
If she finds a new species they can call it Cleosaurus!!😁♥️
Probably the most eye opening video I’ve seen all year. Incredible journalism!
Watching this while having breakfast with a scrambled dinosaur egg hits different. Oh wait, not sure if I want to cook dinosaur biriyani this week.
Great video! Thank you so much
Sorry Dinosaurs that you had to go but kittens were 100% worth it.
The ancient Egyptians knew it.
@@robertanderson2424 And cats *still* haven't forgiven us for stopping the worship! LOL
All hail goddess Bast! @@nairbvel
Are they tho? Now puppies…
1000% percent worth it..
Overall this is a good video for a general audience. I want to point out a little smudge at 6:06, humans didn't diverge from apes. Much like birds are dinosaurs, humans *are* apes.
Hi Cleo! Enjoyed your video but I've a serious question. If humans evolved to have intelligence and civilisation in such a short time historically, why didn't the dinosaurs when they lived much longer?
Humans have been evolving since LUCA, so we've been evolving far longer than dinosaurs.
@@exhumus that makes a lot of sense. Thank you
Well, there are dinosaurs that are arguably more intelligent than most mammals (see corvids and parrots). You have to remember that all life today has been evolving for the same amount of time, it's not like mammals just appeared after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct.
As someone who was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid, this video made me wanna jump through the tv and join! Doing what you did is on my bucket list. Awesome video Cleo!!
this was an amazing and sooo interesting - huge appreciation to everyone that worked on that! also Cleo you being so enthusiastic and honestly interested is simply wonderful to see! Keep it up and much love from Germany.
Man is 65 million years removed from T-Rex, T-Rex is more like 85 million years removed from Stegosaurus. Also Dimetrodon is commonly included in a plastic "dino pack" but it is more closely related to mammals than dinosaurs, and is also around 80 million years removed from T-Rex.
T-rex lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, and Dimetrodon lived prior to the end of the Permian, so it's more than 100 million years between Dimetrodon and T-rex.
I think it was early-ish Permian, so closer to 200 million years.
I actually started tearing up at the skin impression part. The idea that MILLIONS of years ago, these animals thrived, died, and were lost to time, but even now we're able to see them, albeit just barely, is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard of.
Wait, so does this mean that some dinosaurs might've tasted like chicken? Or vice versa I guess
If so, we have that in common with dinosaurs.
Your enthusiasm is infectious and genuine. Videos have awesome production. I love you ❤
this is why I love following science news, so many new things to discover every single day!!
please keep making these videos, Cleo! we need this so much, thank youu! ❤️❤️
"Birds are dinosaurs."
You should look into the Novosaur Project AKA the "chickenosaurus". It's the genetic endeavor to create birds with the classic dinosaur features of snouts with teeth instead of beaks, arms with fingers instead of wings, and long reptile tails instead of avian ones. In fact, embryos have already been created with snouts and arms; though none have been allowed to hatch yet. The ancestral dinosaur tail however is proving difficult to recreate.
2:10 🤣🤣 lol
Meat heavy . No cheese
@Tyoung152 wtf?
JP raptors were basically a bit oversized Deinonychus, which means terrible claw. A few years after the book release a new raptor species was found, the Utah raptor, which is the closest raptor in relation to size. However, Utah raptor sounds more like a Mormon punk rock band than a man eating Dino.
Yeah, I was surprised this wasn't mentioned; they very well knew that the "Velociraptors" in the movie weren't even supposed to be actual Velociraptors, but they just used the name because it's so cool sounding.
MY NEW FAVE VIDEO! My Christmas wish, my shooting star wish, is that this becomes a dino series in your channel huhuh
I see Cleo and I click. She is an awesome ambassador for science
I love your videos because you have the curiosity of a child intact. You experiencing these things really shines through and you share it amazingly well. Compare this to many others that would present these facts as dull as darkness in winter. You literally make it more exciting and I love that about this channel! Also a shoutout to the animators for the great animations!
Since no one seems to have said it: I appreciate your title so much. Many many videos have titles about "here are things you didn't know about" or " everything you know is wrong" painting the video creator and viewer as an ignorant person.
If I watch one of those and I already know the information, I feel like we should take collective offense. It is minutiae I didn't know I felt like the title misled the scale of my ignorance.
Thank you for being excited about learning.
These was the best video I have ever watched on UA-cam ❤
We literally just posted a video on how to quickly identify if a fossil display is real or replica...and UA-cam pops this in my algorithm! You and your production value are out of this world. Well done doesn't even BEGIN to cover the kudos you deserve. Exceptional.
If you're ever in Houston, feel free to stop in!

A superb video! Cleo's enthusiasm is so infectious! She was so excited about everything she saw and that just made me excited to watch it all.
As a dinosaur nerd I appreciate a non dinosaur focused channel taking on the misconceptions most people have with dinosaurs
Cleo your videos are amazing. Your enthusiasm makes watching more incredible. Thank you. Keep up great work.
I cannot express how excited I am to see a huge creator make paleontology content, the funding and field itself is suffering financially and struggling to maintain public interest, which is the only way they can get funding to continue research, it's a lot more important than some will lead you to believe, they're not just finding a set of bones and naming them "Fredasaurus" They're looking for world history, everything from atmospheric conditions, to discovering lost lineages of creatures, ones that were our and other animals predecessors, and others that went through millions of years of evolution of their own. Just to die and be found, these things tell us more about life and our place in the world than any amount of religion or philosophy, Thankyou.
This episode was strangely beautiful. Connecting ourselves to human history to the vast history of the earth, bringing out our childhood wonder of dinosaurs with our scientific curiosities. Just a really fantastic journey. Thank you!
I just became a subscriber, so I have to thank you for this channel. There are so many great videos with fantastic information. I've been binge-watching to catch up. I'm 70 years old and I truly enjoy learning new things about all types of subjects. Wish I was like this when I was in school. Thanks again, Cleo and your team.
You are one of my favorite science communicators and i absolutely love your content! Keep on keeping on ❤
I’m not sure how much of the recorded footage actually makes it into the episodes, but I imagine it’s a lot more than what we see on UA-cam. Especially in episodes where Cleo gets directly involved, I’d love to see more of the details-like the actual process of working on the discovered fossil. The main videos are great for presenting a topic and making it accessible, but I think an extended episode would be a great way to let viewers experience more of the moments and experiences Cleo has during the production.
This is just so amazing. So much of the things we hear and see are based on very outdated research. I love the cutting edge updates here!
Excellent video! I have been crazy about dinosaurs since I was little. I’m 76 now and I’m still crazy about them!😂
Some years back, and you would have been Discovery Channel absolute Star. This was one professional wonderful video.
Pretty much knew all of this I already, but good on you. We need more people like you talking about this stuff with a genuine passion and not trying to come off as an "intellectual." Just the passionate truth without any drama or anything.
I thought you were going to say: 😱 "It's a Doggosaurus!"🐶😆 @2:40
Anyone else not want this video to end? 😭 Such a fascinating video! Thank you!
I really love the sense of wonder you brought to this video it brightened my morning
I just love how you tell the story about dinosaurs. I could definitly learn about you way of storytelling.
Quality of the videos in this channel are bonkers. Big kudos for all the work!
What a well produced, informative video! The dinosaur loving kid in me loveddd this video! Bravo, looking forward to more from you Cleo ❤
I never in my life saw someone talking about a topic with such love and enthusiasm. I absolutely love your videos Cleo, keep up with the great content 🩷
One of the best episodes ever. Love all the animations and infographics too.
I really like how you taught me something I didn’t know and didn’t make me feel silly for not already knowing it
