One Of The Best-Preserved T-Rex Skeletons In The World | Moving 66 million year old "Tristan Otto"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- The Tyrannosaurus rex "Tristan Otto" is one of the best-preserved specimens of its kind in the world. For some five years, the roughly 66-million-year-old dinosaur was the star of Berlin’s Natural History Museum. Now, the huge skeleton has been packed bone by bone into around 30 crates, and sent on one-year loan to Copenhagen, where the 300-piece skeleton has been reassembled with utmost care.

I always have an existential crisis whenever I remember that dinosaurs once walked the earth.
Ruled*
They are still here ;)
they still do > in the form of birds and other reptiles 😇
@@spacerow birds are the only dinosaurs that still live

Just try and imagine that skeleton bulked out with muscle cartilage flesh and skin. It’s crazy.
Exactly I was just thinking about this. Just look at how small and fragile a human skeleton looks like compared to a bulked up powerlifter.
Or just watch the Jurassic Park movie :D
The Tail would have to weigh more than the rest of its body to maintain balance. If you use your own eyes it is obvious
Tasty
Once, in a dinosaur museum, I stood in front and took a picture with a full T-Rex skeleton and believe me, it was scary.
absolutely insane that these things actually walked around the same land we do. dinosaurs were around for 165 million years and only went extinct 65 million years ago. to put that into perspective, our current form of human evolution has only been present for 200,000 years or so
So, if the evolution is there, from an one cell organism to a human being requires less than 65 million years?
@@vvan222 i don’t know exactly how long it took for humanity as we know it to come about but our current form is about 200,000 years old. pre dating that were other similar species and such all the way back to when we weren’t a land based species
Space creatures created us just to test things.
@@taylor-bg7ug I thought our current form was 50,000 years old not 200,000
@@TheGOATRammus i’m not entirely sure, just going by what google said lol. i didn’t do too much research into it but i would assume 200,000 years ago is when we took this main form and maybe 50k years ago was this final form as in no changes whatsoever. probs minor stuff happened in those 150k years but again, not too sure lol
I love that the speaker's so enthusiastic and passionate.
Thanks, Lindsey! We'll pass on your praise🤗
Those claws look like they’re used for gripping like an eagle.
yeah, the more i see it the more i keep thinking they probably have clamping muscles there, to grip prey
Imagine if the tiny arms where a mistake all along and it had wings originally.
🤯🤯
They think they was used for mating. They wouldn't be much good in a hunt.
@@neganrex5693 That's what I think too. The arms might be just enough to clamp on to another tyrannosaurus rex during mating. But ultimately who knows? Tyrannosaurus Rex was likely constantly evolving up until extinction, and those arms could have potentially got longer or eventually disappeared completely.
It SO CRAZY how these creatures once existed.
Man I Hope one day In A Remote Place One is Found.
Such a shame that we can’t even comprehend that some of these creatures ruled our planet, I just wish that one day that dinosaurs can come back and I can experience some of the greatest creatures ever.
Humans will extinct if dinosaurs live, it's a really big wild apex predator that we cannot handle even with our modern tools.
A T Rex would swallow you like a Heron swallowing a small fish in the bay...
Whole and alive in one gulp.
So no, you don't want to see one in person....it will run you down...you can't outrun it and you can't fight it unless heavily armed .
@@Agreatdayneverends t rex could only run at 10 miles an hour😂

So lucky to be living in Copenhagen and very close to the museum. Will go there for sure!!!! 👌🏻
You didn't go.
Did you go yet
@@Cat-y4wAs far as I know, now it would be too late, because the T-Rex returned to Berlin
@@reptiloidmitglied2930 go to berlin
@@Cat-y4w I've been there a lot and of course I saw the T-Rex ;)
Truly gigantic!! Thanks for the video!! I hope one day I can see Tristan in person :)
Very interesting and worthwhile video. The donor's skns, Tristan and Otto, will long be remembered because of the T.rex.
Is that what donnor meat is made out of!
That rex has a massive overbite. Looks funny.
thats why lips on theropods is impossible
@@johnlestersunaya-rpl1958 I wouldn’t say impossible…
Maybe when it was alive, the flesh on the jaw would have made it easier for the lips to connect.
Doesn't look right, it's a goofysaurus!
I was really lucky to see this huge guy in my visit in Copenhagen!!!
Yes I know you saw my penis that time in Copenhagen
T rex is my favorite dinosaur 🦕
My friend Clayton Phipps found the best dinosaur specimens ever. The dueling dinosaurs.
To think a predator this massive, walked upon our very planet
And this one at 39' is not even the largest specimen, one named Scotty is 42' and 2 tons heavier. Plus they've recently found one or two others that they believe will be way bigger than Scotty.
Incorrect statement was said by the owner saying 50 % of this T.REX was unearthed, and that that was the biggest percentage amount ever unearthed of a T Rex, but the T Rex Sue had 90 % of it's remains unearthed and is without doubt the greatest T Rex ever discovered.
Not incorrect as he stated it was *one of.* He never said it was *the.* Big difference. Also read the title, says one of as well. And he's not the owner, just one of the museum's scientists, maybe even the Chief/Head Scientist too, I believe.
Otto is still a remarkable and extraordinarily rare discovery. I mean, 50% is still incredible knowing that there's only a *handful, even less than a handful* of moderately complete to mostly complete T-Rex skeletons out there. Not to mention moderately complete to mostly complete dinosaur skeletons in general!
They actually found one they think is 100% complete
@@STHFGDBY Think how many others are out there unrecognized but partially exposed by erosion, as well as not exposed. Some of these were probably observed for a hundred years by ranchers, surveyors, sheep herders, hunters, kids, etc..
Hope more complete T.rex skeletons are found.
Well, Sue at the Field museum in Chicago, is 90% complete.
one of the fiercest predators to ever walk the earth.
this guy: .. "Tristan"
Remember. This thing was the size of a large elephant.
An APEX PREDATOR THE SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT HOLY FRICK!
50% complete means half complete, not an "almost complete skeleton".
T .Rex bite force 10 times stronger that bite force of Crocodiles
megalodon and some other huge pliosaurus had a even stronger bite force..
@@jackstraw4222 yeah cause they are much bigger as they are aquatic creatures
A totally different world.
And 65 million years from today another totally different world.
I would be interested to see what half of the dino was actually discovered. Has anyone ever discovered a fully intact t-rex skull?
We've gotten damn close so far. "Sue" is 90% complete. Soo close!
I've studied Sue in Chicago and Pete Larsons photos of its skull under preparation in South Dakota and its the finest skull ever found. There are several other well known nearly complete skulls with at least 80% intact cranial elements. Much of this information is obtainable on line in several scientific papers. Ken Carpenter from Denver Colarado has done a great amount of research on these skulls. Generally the post cranial elements of these individuals are lost from erosion or scavengers during skeletal deposition.. many example of around the nearly 50 known specimens have between 30% to 60% of the fossil bones making up the entire skeleton. A individual with a fairly complete skull and about 50% of the post cranial elements would be consider quite a find. Examples like Stan and Karthy Wankles specimens are over 60% complete and Sue considered to be about 90% complete. Tyrannosaurus rex hands are the rarest preserved and known. The specimen in the University of Chicago vertebrate collections number UCRC VP1 is the most complete arms and hands know. I'm now studying a complete second digit of the hand of Tyrannosaurus rex in my collection and is one of only four known. The dueling dinosaur Tyrannosaur skeleton looks extremely complete and has really great arms and hands but look rather different from the other few known hand elements. It's still in debate if it's a large Nanotyrannus or a small Tyrannosaurus rex. More research is required and a great deal of further preparation and cleaning. Pete Larson has been advocating that its a Nanotyrannus.
@@davidletasi3322that is so freaking cool!!!
80%, so they say about "Sue".
Just a bunch of iguana skulls
Only 50% left 50% is just an imagination
Good measuim business
There are other T. rex specimens that preserve the rest of the body, so it really isn't imagination.
Birds once had some GNARLY cousins!
Went to see TRex Sue at Chicago Field Museum, think 90% complete. Awesome beast, putting on my 4K Jurassic Park disc tonight
It looks so badass in black, or ash, or whatever that color is. Wow!
Wish I could go back in time and see one
Someone just discovered ancient script written on a Cave wall proving dinosaurs existed with humans ...it read. "Open the door get on the floor everybody do the dinosaur"..
Fooled me for a second. Lol.
Just incredible. Absolutely fascinating 💖
That’s a nice bird 🦅
@Kevon Lopez Chirp, Chirp!
You have to remember, length wise Nile crocodiles can get similar in length. Obviously not as tall, but it's basically a window into the Jurassic period.
Wow! It's amazing, very interesting! Danke.
Glad you like it! 😊
How in the world did these things exist 😮
They didn't
@@dominicisthekingwe have found soft tissue in them, they are real.
It was so freaking cool to see 🙌👏!!!!
This thing was alive once. It was alive, and it only knew what bones were because they were part of its diet. Now, 60+ million years later, everyone knows its bones.
Isn't SUE the most completed t-rex?
-This is Incredible!!! Thank You for your work on this T-Rex!!! 🦖🌿🪨🙂
Is it me or does it seem rather narrow like it’s thin (I’m used to sue from Chicago)
Maybe it was flattened a bit by earth 🌏
King of the Dinosaurs🦖
The Sue and Scotty T-rex fossils are 90% complete and bigger.
Thank You!
Our world is the world of monsters, aliens, fascinations , but other worlds are out there with far more.
😨....
The best persevered skeleton of a Trex well 50% of it, and the head is a cast ! the real head is over there !
Lol.. I know right. One of the biggest hoaxes pulled on mankind in world history. And millions fall for it.
Shows off the fascinating skull and full close ups 😮 just to find out we don’t get to see the best preserved dinosaur skull, it’s just a mold.
Must be lucky to make it the best preserved animal
I would think these would be locked in heavy duty safes or if they were on this place, they would be so protected. You couldn’t even touch.
I met Tristan in Berlin and he made me feel like a second breakfast🙄
I am a fan of the first three Jurassic-Park-Films.... but ej ! Standing in front of a T-Rex is another, far more scary experiance !
And who really knows how big Rex could have really gotten because you can only assume if you're finding one this size there had to have been bigger ones out there.
But on another note such a travesty taking that specimen out of the USA.
But that is so American to sell it to the highest bidder
I would give anything to see a live T-Rex if that were somehow possible.
Borealpelta:Its just an lil player
1:37 180kg of just bone, and not even all the bone.
Still mega-impressive
Who had the right to sale this skeleton? 🤔
Ur mum
@@Doberdobax made me laugh way too hard 😂😂😭
Finders keepers...
Not you. 😂😂😂
Thank god it's in a museum though. It's still open to the public!
"His body is 50% complete, which makes him to an almost complete skeleton"... 🤔
Is it just me or does that Rex have an overbite? What an interesting specimen
I want to see this !
*LETS GOOOOOO*
I'd rather see the real skull, and see what fragments actually were found.
Relating to ancestors for warm blooded rats, screws and voles, its pretty awesome and frightened to roam to very large Dinosaurs and I'll pack my bags and run, pronto styles.
I thought Sue was 90% complete.
Nice sculpture, but boring to look at it still. You should have added some mechanics for locomotion and it will be lot cooler
A bite force of 35.000 newtons and maybe more. A human has a bite force about 700 to 900 newtons. Imagine the damage a t-rex would cause
😂 stop it kid
tristan looks the baddest of all trexs
Amazing wish I could see one lol
Imagine it blinking at ya
Run! 😉
For what President?
Nearest we got to a dinosaur today is the crocodile n alligator the skin's texture is Dino related
Honestly t rex gives me anxiety cuz dino so big and strong
This is going to sound dumb I know
But does anybody know why the bones are black ?
That’s a rock not an actual bone. This is a fossil.
How many pounds of food would a T. rex eat in a day ?
500 kg de comida
Show his head from the other room
It's fake. That's why the didn't show anything that can be serious scrutinized
They show the fossil skull at 1:13
Since when did 50% of anything equal almost complete lol
That's fing crazy big
IT IS!
The truth everything has size differentials ..so you never know how big some of these guys got
He is almost complete... 50% complete... 🙄 Well then that's still half missing 😂
Thank you professor, we couldn't have figured it out.
@@rhysioeren3203 pointless comment
@@williamswayuk poor baby 👶.
I wonder what the earth will be like in 66 million years time, will they see current animals and think woah, like a lion or something
@@montyboon4127 According to the Bible the earth will have been re-made by then, and in its original state before man's fall and the curse put on creation for man's sake. There will be no death, disease, or fossils in that world. The biological system will change back to what it was originally. A lion and a lamb will lie down together and the lamb be safe.
what if these bones weren't even put together right and this dinosaur could've been something way different?
Just let your imagination run wild... 🦍🦌🦏🐖🐄🐪🦨 😁
No. Scientists know anatomy inside out. Nothing else would make sense
One thing is for sure they got the ribs wrong. The rib cage is way to small for the animals size.
50% is almost completely half a skeleton. 😂
Indeed. Partially incorrect wording on his behalf, hehe. He should've said half-way. Almost sounds waaay closer than 50% haha. But that's still remarkable since most dinosaur skeletons are incredibly incomplete. Only a good handful are close or even half-way to completion! :O
So is he only a conservator or also a paleontologist like Ross?
I think he's just a Scientist who works at the museums/universities/labs and studies all these creatures, including all the fossils that come into the laboratories after they've been excavated and such.
He’s happy he has 50% of a skeleton? If he was in school that be a fail
I wonder if it was smart to dig out fossils. I mean nature somehow kept them fossilized for millions of years. Can we guarantee that in the museums the fossils will survive a thousand years. It always bothers me we have wasted the fossil by digging it up. There should be tech like ground radars, sonars, x ray etc to study them in the ground and rock where they are more reliably preserved than any artificial method can. I think in a 1000 years all these museums will be gone and these fossils would have been lost forever.
The vast majority of fossils discovered are found eroding out of the sediment already, during construction activities, or in quarries, where they would soon become dust due to erosion over a few seasons or heavy machinery.
Fossils are excavated because they need to be protected. Many more than we could ever discover have been lost to erosion and other geological processes.
When possible, paleontologists will sometimes opt to protect the fossils where they lay as found, instead of transporting them from the field into a repository.
There are trade offs and no one single method of preservation.
Museums are not perfect, as they are subject to disasters like fire, war, and lack of funding, but it generally gives the fossils a longer life than their inevitable decay in the field. Museums also let the fossils tell their story.
Should they be lost for some reason, our observations and scientific records of their existence offer another form of preservation, at least until science and humanity itself falls victim to time.
You're watching way too much scifi buddy
66.000.000 that's a bunch of zeroes.
The Spinosaurus is way bigger.
Only in length, but Tyrannosaurus is the largest, as size is measured in weight: the current weight estimates for Spinosaurus place it around 7 - 8 metric tonnes, while the estimates for T.rex put it at 8 - 10 tonnes, although there have been some individuals that have been discovered (E.D.Cope and Bertha) who may be even heavier.
Bro I want to see complete!!!
How do we really know it’s not manufactured?

And their radiometric age and stratigraphy is independently verified? By who?

You can preview that with the Jurassic Park movie franchise 🦖
@@dweuromaxx that is just Hollywood
@@dweuromaxx Yeah, I don't think any movie can capture the wild nature of a creature like dinosaur. If anyone ever watches the video of how Komodo dragon eats their prey by swallowing it alive, you will read many viewers comment the brutality. And this creature, the dinosaurs have a really big jaw and all canine teeth to swallow a prey at elephant size and crush all the bones, I can't even think how brutal it is.
They should build a outer skin n eyes etc for rexy ......give rexy a new look 👍😁
Coming here cause of Jurassic Park week
@DLM Hope you don't expect any *nuggets* here...😁
The bottom jaw looks too short compared to the top jaw. Rex may've had an overbite, but not by *_that_* much. Ribs looks too small, as well.
Largest males Crocodiles bite force 10 000 psi .
The ancestor of the modern day Chicken.
Actually, T. rex isn't the ancestor of any modern bird. Birds evolved from a different group of dinosaurs (Avialae).
amazing creation
but not 66mln years old
And how do you know this exactly, arm chair Scientist? It's crazy how you can sit in your comfy arm chair and easily distrust and dismiss someone who has studied and worked their whole life to operate in the field they're in. They have a degree and multiple degrees too I'm sure and have gained numerous years of experience and spent thousands of dollars acquiring their education. Where was your education and relevant work experience acquired at, if I may ask? At a McDonald's or your local middle school?
@@VandicoupChill Dude. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
It doesn't look as big as I thought it would be
In what world is 50% "almost" complete?
because we know dinosaurs are symmetrical animals.
so for example if you find one leg, you know there was another on the other side.
“His body is almost 50% complete…he is almost a complete skeleton” how is 50% even almost fully complete?
Let's see how much of your or any skeleton is left intact after 65 million years sitting in the ground.
I would say dare say 50% is almost intact.
It is all a matter of perspective.
A lot of dinosaurs we just have like the lower half of there jaw so yeah 50 percent is pretty complete
What he means is that having half the bones means very little extrapolation has to go into completing the skeleton, allowing for a near perfectly accurate reconstruction.
pretty sure that one a cast
why does this T-REX lower jaw looks small and awkward to its skull?
@gabbie gab On the skull very strong muscles for chewing were attached. He seemed to be a very greedy animal.. 😉
He says that the skull is not the original skull because it was in pieces so they made a skull. They probably hired some 3rd rate sculptor to make the mold for the casting.
It's not as big as in the jurasic park movie
It just because this rex is in crouch position. JP t rex looks taller because its standing at his full height.
This is a skeleton, you have to imagine it with flesh muscles and skin plus like the other guy said, it’s in crouch position.
Did they really sample dua lipa???
Why not? She's great
What happened today if exist all dangerous Dinosaur. Anybody tell me.
They would probably have a very hard time here with us on our troubled planet.. 😉
