      Another interesting thing that she didn't bring up in the video is how some dinosaurs that we thought were their own species were actually just a different specie of dinosaur at a different stage in its life cycle.

      Feathered "dinosaurs" were simply birds, there is not even close to an absolute evidence for dinosaurs evolving into a bird. After examining the dinosaur skin, researchers announced, "Our discovery suggests that soft, bird-like skin initially developed only in feathered regions of the body, while the rest of the skin was still scaly, like in modern reptiles." It continued "Collectively, these findings suggest that Psittacosaurus retained the plesiomorphic [inherited from previous supposed ancestors] condition of its scaled reptilian ancestors in non-feathered skin regions. It is reasonable to presume that the skin of feathered body regions, i.e. the tail, exhibited some or all of the modifications related to feather support and movement that characterise the skin of extant birds. This presumed variation in skin structure in Psittacosaurus is consistent with spatial partitioning of gene expression, a phenomenon evident during feather development in extant birds due to activation of regional patterning genes." Astronomical assumptions since they failed to study the skin of the tail.
      Psittacosaurus isn’t some kind of transitional form-it didn’t even have feathers! Because evolutionists have changed the definition of feather to include filaments, they can say this dinosaur had “feathers” when really it had what another study called “bristle-like appendages.”
      The imagination of the evolutionists is both vast and wild.

    In the Alberta Badlands, you could go hiking & camping to look for fossils yourself. The only area you can't go (without being on a tour of one) is an active dig site. 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.

    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.

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. :-)

      I've read somewhere years ago, that they basically just borrowed the name "Velociraptor" for the creatures we saw in the movies, because it sounded more badass than the actual species they wanted to portray. I don't know who's decision was it, but if I remember correctly, Chrichton already sold the filming rights before he was finished with the first novel, so I guess some of his stuff was effected by their needs.

      We have learned that one of the "moon rocks" they supposedly brought back was actually petrified wood, so unless they were lying, fossils have been found on the moon.

    About velociraptor, i am pretty sure that the jurassic park velociraptor was based of deinonychus (my fav dino from ark) but the name was too hard so they went with velociraptor/raptor name

    • @princevermilion8799
      @princevermilion8799 25 днів тому +1

      That is correct! (Also love Deinonychus in ark). However the raptor in Jurassic Park is still too big for even Deinonychus, which was about as big as a medium-large sized dog.
