Ah yes, that guy who made those Iguanadons stand like kangaroos. Here's a tip: If you have to break the poor thing's bones to make it pose the way you want it to, chances are it wasn't supposed to look like that in life.
I like the way he pauses yes it's not the greatest public speaking but it's not public it's in front of a computer screen. It adds the the geeky factor of the show I love it.
looks impromptu. speaking is okay still- no stutters, nor umms & sounds very well though out. the pauses are fine considering he had to process and compare the biology of an ancient obscure animal to an absurdly small toy replica of itself. like couldnt someone had given him a tad bigger model?
After he talked about it making trombone noises I immediately thought of a really sad parasaurolophus doing the said trombone though its crest. "Wa-wa-waaaaaaa..."
one reason that I love how this guy speaks is that he doesn't waste a single word; he will pause and think and when he speaks again, it will be what he wanted to say; aspirational, honestly!
The irony, of course, being that the head of the Commonwealth (that is, the current monarch of England) is also the "Supreme Governor of the Church of England". While it's mostly a symbolic thing, I still hold that it makes the UK a sort-of-but-not-quite theocracy.
It's a chance to peek at what the animal actually LOOKED like in the flesh. Something that is very, very rare with dinosaurs. A glimpse of the hidden reality we all want to see but never can.
Parasaurolophus has always been my favorite dinosaur species. They always are shown in sweeping panoramas in movies like Jurassic Park, but they're often never really focused on the way people focus on triceratops or any of the large sauropods. The parasaur looks gentle, maybe even tameable. Like you could hand-feed a herd of them entire heads of lettuce in a pasture somewhere.
They used to show the parasaurolophus with a flap of skin going from the crest to the back of its neck. I always liked that. It made them look elegant, even regal.
Same! I had a pteranodon (maybe pteradactyl?) that was very similar to the one in his video about them! I believe I also had a pachy and maybe what might have been an Allo or Rex?
When young children's content, like Pinkfong, talks about dinosaurs, its name sometimes gets shortened to parasaur. That always makes me laugh internally hearing it when my kids are playing dinosaur games on their tablets. Parasaur? So is it close to dinosauria or close to lizards? Either way, maybe I'm not one to talk. I call them chonky dinosaurs to them so they know they were essentially like reptile looking cows the size of a school bus and not scaly shrink-wrapped kangaroos.
I love the sudden pauses he takes to cycle through his mental encyclopedia. Kinda cute. Also adds a touch of down-to-earthness to the show, unlike all the "TOP 10 LIES ABOUT DINOSAURS YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW!!" videos...yuck.
i also always get really excited about trace fossils. these very ephemeral things like skin impressions and soft tissues getting preserved just. makes me feel genuine awe. the odds of fossilization for bones is already so astronomically small, the fact that we have soft tissues, which fossilize even more rarely, is almost miraculous.
i would love to see this guy react to the representations of dinosaurs in the game Jurassic World: Evolution. they seem to have put a lot of work in and overall seem to be pretty accurate (save for a few movie representations like raptors and dilophosaurs) but that just means he could REALLY get into the nitty gritty details
Great video! Thanks so much for doing this - it's such a great idea! My dino mad daughter was fascinated by your video. Love how you use technical terminology. She has just made a Parasaurolophus for her Footprints from the Past school project (well we did!) out of wire mesh and papier mache and it looks great and not at all like a Disney dino! Glad we made him anatomically correct according to your video.
I love the little pause at the Kangaroo analogy. It's the closest thing we have to that today, but even then it's very different :) Louis Dollo! He specifically used a kangaroo and an emu to reconstruct Iguanodon/Dollodon Yes, Parasaurolophus had ossified tail tendons. I was looking at the P. cyrtocristatus at the Field Museum the other day, and it had apparently a very sharp distinction between the rod-enforced, very stiff tail vertebrae and the sacral vertebrae, indicating that the tail had one point of flexibility at the very base. I love this series
I actually had some Hadrosaur toys (small ones that could fit in your palm) that were pretty accurate with the body positioning. Quite surprising really.
Its amazing how light dinosaurs were. A large deer or your average moose could half a ton or more....I think moose can get up to 1500lbs for a large bull.
Parasaurolophus sounds - the New Mexico Museum of Natural History / Sandia Labs did the study of the structure of the crest and recreated an approximation of the sounds that were possible for the structure: www.sandia.gov/media/dinosaur.htm - I remember this one because that was my local natural history museum when I was growing up.
I attended a presentation once by Dr.Currie from the Royal Tyrrell Musrum, and he brought along a lower jaw from Parasaurolophus. I recall it had molars in several offset series, 3 or 4 rows. These probably assisted in chewing plant leaves.
Just wanted to say thank you for comparing the appearances of toy dinosaurs to the real thing (to the best of current knowledge, of course). Very interesting!
You know what I'd like to see? A comparison of the various hadrosaurs, because I feel like there's a tendency to think of them as essentially the same animal with different crests and while I don't *know* that's not true, I strongly suspect it's not true.
I played trombone for a brief time too! I'm super excited to hear that that instrument may be what this creature sounded like. I'd love to see you take on the land before time's dinosaurs.
Since one of the theories of the crest is display or identification, are there any ideas or hypothesis that the air passages may just be to make the skull less heavy, either to just put less stress on the creature, or maybe to aid in keeping and/or raising their head as high as possible, either for communication of some kind or perhaps in some kind of attraction or mating ritual? Just something to maybe chew on...
Hello Steven! I have a question to ask, since you have a better grasp on dinos than I do: Would it ever be possible for a ornithischian to develop complete carnivory? I mean, can it go from insect eating ornithischians and slowly develop into meat eating, or is being an herbivore set in stone (I know herbivores can eat meat if the opportunity steps up, but I mean permanent meat eating like some pals on the saurischia side of the dino fun tree.)? Being a carnivore also means losing a bit of stomach as well, I can assume. I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts!
So, it had a trombone on its head. I am sure the other hadrosaurs had crests that made different sounds. Maybe they got together in a multi-specie hadrosaur band and made beautiful music together.
I was trying to do a humorous gloss. Sorry if I offended! I only meant that taxonomic names generally need to stay constant despite shifting phylogeny, not that phylogeny doesn't matter! I guess we should talk about why scientific names need to stay rigidly standardized in a future episode?
Steven Bellettini Not particularly offended, just pointing out a mistake. And, in the same vein, you seem to be following the whole "phyocode" nonsense in your comment and in some of these videos. Taxonomic names do *not* need to stay constant despite shifting phylogeny. If a species previously placed in genus X is found to be a member of genus Y, the genus name should change to reflect this, given that the new placement can be verified independent of genetics. Also: depending on what you mean, scientific names do *not* need to be "standardized.
Daniel Leo Gustafsson You are much better at talking about this subject than I am. I can see how my meaning wasn't clear. When I say things like 'the name doesn't matter,' I'm only talking about the form/content of the names themselves. Like, we call the ornithopoda, literally, 'bird feet,' which is funny to me (and apparently no one else) because birds (who actually have bird feet) are instead in the 'beast feet' group. What I was trying to joke about was that one can't arbitrarily say, for example, "all specimens previously referred to genus *Parasaurolophus* are now referred to the new genus *Paralambeosaurus,* which is diagnosed from the same specimen(s) using the same characters just because we now know that the animal was more closely related to *Lambeosaurus* than to *Saurolophus* which makes the form of the "near saurolophus" name less accurate." If that were allowed, people would probably rename organisms all the time and there would be no point to even having nomenclature, yes? I was NOT trying to say that if we found new evidence that, to stick with the example, *Parasaurolophus tubicen* was actually a species of some other genus, we should keep calling it *Parasaurolophus* even though that's wrong. By 'standardized,' I mean that different people studying the same creature need to be able to call it the same thing, so there have to be rules about what name takes precedence when there's a conflict. That is, I think we should talk in a future episode about why nomenclature exists in the first place. Thank you for pointing out my mistake, though: I often say things in an overly broad or flippant way, or use terms that should not be interchangeable, interchangeably, and that kind of thing gets in the way of the actual information I'm trying to share. I will work on that.
Steven Bellettini No worries, I guess having spent most of my adult life doing taxonomy in one way or another, I am too hair-triggered when it comes to any suggestion that someone has bought into the phylocode, which is often the case with palaeontologists for some reason. They want to do *exactly* what you say with /Parasaurolophus tubicen/, which would be madness for so many reasons.
Maybe it could make as many notes as a trombone in one slide position. Perhaps it used the overtone series to ”sing" melodies like Tuvan throat singers do. Paul the trombonist has a video featuring a guy playing hella notes in first position, never moving the slide...
Fun fact correction. The "eu" which means well in greek its actually pronounced as ef. The υ after a vowel is pronounced as an f so greeks call this efplocefalus
I have a question: If the different crests among hadrosaurs were to tell themselves appart do you think they were racists? Like, were Edmontosaurus made fun of by parasaurolophus and Corithosaurus for not having crests? And did Lambeosaurus think the crests on Parasauroluphus looked like dicks?
BTW, if I could have one Dino to clone here, tame and ride (if intelligent and friendly enough) it’d be Parasaurolophus. Not a scary meateater, but a friendly 4WD veggie
Gibroni, you of all people should know you can get more than one note, what about the bugle, they play a decent tune (reveille .), and don't forget harmonics ;)
I don't know if it was functionally *that* similar to a brass instrument--I was only referring to the timbre. (Also, we left it in the video, but further research makes the 'sounded rather like a trombone' theory look mostly speculative.)
Your jab about the commonwealth country reminds me of how my friend pronounces Diplodocus "Dip-lo-DOH-cus" and it makes me want to throw my head against a concrete wall

You like peaceful dinosaurs like hadrosaurs. Not those bloodthirsty theropods.
So, it had a trombone on its head. I am sure the other hadrosaurs had crests that made different sounds.
Maybe they got together in a multi-specie hadrosaur band and made beautiful music together.
The reason they didn't bother renaming it would more likely be that "they" aren't allowed to in the taxonomic code, not because it doesn't matter...
Indeed, same reason why Basilosaurus is still called "King Lizard" when it's a whale.
I was trying to do a humorous gloss. Sorry if I offended!

11:26 Imagine if a _Parasaurolophus_ broke its crest and this theory was true. No one would recognise it.
Because trace fossils are RAD AS HELL, that's why!
As are hadrosaurs, so these are twice as cool!
Here I thought hadorsaurs used the crest as a flamethrower for fire type attacks.
Duane Gish lied to you.
My preschool kids can pronounce the "godless commonwealth" version of the name. I will stick to that ;)
This dino looks like it moved like a bunny. Running on four legs, but squatting on hind legs to do stuff
One day, I hope they really do find a dinosaur with a mustache and beard.
Could you do a maniraptoriform?
Maybe it could make as many notes as a trombone in one slide position. Perhaps it used the overtone series to ”sing" melodies like Tuvan throat singers do. Paul the trombonist has a video featuring a guy playing hella notes in first position, never moving the slide...
Ep 48 of paul the trombonist
What kind of environment did they live in if not swamps? In regards to dinosaur feathers, of hadrosaurs did have feathers, what might we see?
Fun fact correction. The "eu" which means well in greek its actually pronounced as ef. The υ after a vowel is pronounced as an f so greeks call this efplocefalus

Could a Parasaurolophus, though it’s crest was one fixed length, play different partials?
I loved Disney’s Fantasia with the parasaurolophus!
Hands down my favorite dinosaur!
this used to be my favourite dinosaur but now it's Spinosaurus
Well, I'm kinda more used to the skinny kangaroo one since when I was little I mostly saw them drawn like that.
maybe the parasaurolophus changed pitch when it grew up akin to sliding the slide on the trombone
So I’m like insanely curious. Did hadrosaurs have the pronated hands to walk? Or way they still only partly pronated?
Gibroni, you of all people should know you can get more than one note, what about the bugle, they play a decent tune (reveille .), and don't forget harmonics ;)
I don't know if it was functionally *that* similar to a brass instrument--I was only referring to the timbre. (Also, we left it in the video, but further research makes the 'sounded rather like a trombone' theory look mostly speculative.)
Osteoderms. I think those types of scales are called osteoderms. The Gila monster is famous for something similar.
This will always be my favorite dinosaur. ^_^
10:03 "so I’m making Parasaurolophus noises" :D
Could the crest be used to warm the air being breathed in?
So if 'Parasaurolophus' is a bit of a silly name for..more than one reason, and it's a bit like a kangaroo.. let's call it a kangasaurus!!
the guy on the video forgot to mention, I think, that the neck also had more meat
