wot ur review

[@featheredskeptic1301]

16:00 the dinosaurs who survived the KT extinction were already birds long before that. Birds exist in 150 million years, at least some very primitive birds did. Teviornis was a neognathae bird (the same infraclass as the ones flying around today) that was dated to around 90 million years ago. So when T-rex was walking around there were already birds flying overhead.

[@randallbesch2424]

And mammals have been around nearly as long. From shrew to weasel sized ones.

[@djdeemz7651]

Maybe them being able to fly is what kept them alive they can cover far more ground and conserve far more energy by flying and looking for food

[@jackieholley727]

I love this kind of stuff, but if I’m being honest the intense music the whole time was so distracting. Maybe a reupload with less ?? 🤷‍♀️❤️

[@Caveman-i5u]

I agree the music was a bit loud

[@goaheadandreportmeidc]

They have to add music because they steal the content and adding music "makes it theirs" somehow. That's why you see the same video a million times with different colored texts and sound bits.

I've been to the Congo several times, & if ever there was a place that Dinos could have survived in, it would be there, you could be 10 feet away from something/someone & you would Never know there was anything there, the sounds that resonate through the jungle are so strange, you imagine all kinds of things, yet when you see what make some of them you just don't believe it, ad that to the stories that the natives tell, who truly believe these things exist, & your mind just gets flooded with pictures, they will draw you a picture of what they have seen, the odd part is, they get almost No outsiders in the deepest parts of the jungle, no books, TVs, yet they will draw a picture of a Dino, they truly believe they live to this day.

[@waakca]

Fascinating!! Why did you go? Work/research/tourism?

[@curtisjones2357]

Not the last of dinosaurs. We have many animals that came directly from dinosaurs. The most direct survivors is birds, many of our large reptiles surviving today are direct descendants of dinosaurs

[@fromnorway643]

Wrong! The _only_ living descendants of dinosaurs are the birds. The closest living relatives of dinosaurs not being birds are crocodiles, but they evolved around the same time or slightly before the first dinosaurs in the Triassic period. Snakes, lizards and turtles aren't dinosaur descendants either, but more distantly related to them than crocodiles are.

The fact that they were so huge meant that the Oxygen content in the air must have been much higher than now The Asteroid did not kill them all off - most died yes but the Oxygen content also seems to have changed and now we have much smaller animals - they say birds are the dinos of today - there might be other animals as well whose ancestors were Dinosaurs

And such sapients develop a civilization, start wiping out the larger animals then leave when they can't stop or carom the asteroid. The effects of the 6 mile asteroid hitting so hard it glowed in the ultraviolet. The few dinos left became extinct. I don't know what took out all the smaller dinos and the other reptile life in the air and oceans.

Before the 'nuclear winter,' the ejected debris super-heated the surface as they reentered, cooking everything exposed. The small few that survived would have been frozen.

[@sgdeluxedoc]

Rather than 10 metres high, (which is only a third of the height of Japan's tsunami), a more accurate estimate of the tsunami height was 1000 metres, about the same height of the displaced water from the asteroid. Unfortunately that error of 10 meters has been quoted more and more since someone first started with it some years ago.. The largest tsunami in memory was the 1950s alaskan one from a landslide of only a small percent of the mass of the asteroid, and it reached 1700 feet in height!

Therapods are not classified the way you described considering Eoraptor os classified as such..... Also the hip structure identified a dinosaur not bipedal walking. Otherwise sauropods would not be dinosaurs by your definition. Sorry but not your best video.

[@eyolfthorsen3291]

why are the dinos always roaring in these videos? We don't know that they did...the had no voiceboxes, so probably not, and they lack the hyoid(tongue)bone connection that allows panthers (lions, tigers etc) to roar. Like all reptiles today they were probably hissing or grunting if they made any sound at all.

[@richleebruce]

Archosaurs are not a species. They are a large clade that includes birds, crocodilians, and their extinct relatives. So there have been thousands of species within the archosaur clade. Dinosaurs evolved from one species within the clade of archosaurs. All dinosaurs, including the birds, are also archosaurs. So dinosaurs evolved from a species of archosaur that was not a dinosaur.

So, we came from the ones that survived the asteroid impact, each was the bottom of the food chain, and we came this big from that small, WHAT IF it was the dinosaurs evolving cause that never happened, would we be here, or someone way bigger cause they were in the top of the food chain already?
