Dr Grant: "Did you like this video?" Eric: "I...I don't know. I mean, it was kinda preachy. Too much chaos, everything's chaos. Seemed like the guy was kinda high on himself."

[@naingmon]

"...Seemed like the guy was kind of high on himself." "Well, so is the movie we're in."

[@snap_fit8686]

i dont think dr paul is anything like ian malcom,, dou you think ?

[@tim3tRav3l3RR60]

Chaos=creation. A forest destroyed in a fire always comes back greener.

[@FionaKelleghan3267]

I'm only half-way through this show, and I am dazzled. Dr. Sereno, this is better than the subject I know most about, which is science fiction.

[@DarkLeviathan8]

This is incredibly interesting! Love those videos :)

[@lifesavrdwd]

A scientific wonder. I appreciate that there is such scientists who have the patients and interest to dedicate a large portion of their lives helping explain and show such wonder.

[@christineascovill2787]

I enjoyed this talk very much. Thank you for sharing!

[@christophervinci5333]

Great stuff. Waaaaaayyyyyy too many commercial interruptions guys.

[@JeSCTLesniowski]

Better than school... which I really should be at right now.

[@selmateacher7]

Very good... look around, it is .. like so clear in everything we see.

[@FionaKelleghan3267]

Dr. Sereno, this was a spectacular show. I do wish that you had told us who your audience was, and I'd love to hear the Q&As. I'd like to know how Nigersaurus and similar creatures passed the night. Did all dinosaurs just go to sleep at the same time, as though with a quiescent non-alignment pact? That seems hard to believe. I was very interested in your analyses of the dentition and the hips. Thank you so much!

[@CoolCatG117]

Dinosaurs are so cool!!!

[@supermariologanfan6546]

This looks a lot like a prequel to Bizarre Dinosaurs

[@AtlanticBlvd]

Kids, stop arguing. Learn to grow up! Let's just watch and listen to this video.

[@DotMapFile]

@NationalGeographic i watch the whole and loved it please post more like this ThankYou

[@DarthShark99]

1. The bone in these fossils has been replaced with rock. 2. Carbon dating has dated the fossils and the rocks they came from 3. The bones are on or near the surface because the newer layers of rock that formed (if any had at all) have been eroded away, revealing the fossils.

[@walmartpimp2]

It's not about trying to change the other persons mind right, but planting the seeds of doubt so the person comes to the realization of being wrong themselves.

[@Cora452]

Wow I am this guy! Why can't anyone see us as we are? I hate it when people say I can't succeed because I didn't do well in school. I teach myself so much about history and art and writing. Grrr. damn school lol.

[@ndecker3295]

i would love school if we watched nat geo all day

[@MrKindgirl]

couldn't agree more!

[@aSkepticalman]

The similarities of external form follow the same evolutionary need for a streamlined and efficient shape for swimming, a broad tail for propulsion, etc.

[@TheBardicDruid]

That scientific theory beats fairy tales any day.

[@blargers123]

I have entered into an argument with a creationist. If I don't make it, tell my family I love them.

[@nicoledecroix5363]

awesome video .

[@saintboudreau1545]

You know at this point you need study all birds methods of feeding and neck length and ear orientation. So do it.

[@boukili]

Thank you NAT GEO

[@freetrader0000]

I should be studying for the finals tomorrow, but I REALLY wanna see dinosaurs.

[@BGSoccerMagic]

amazing

[@TheRussianski]

i love the words at the bottom of the screen!

[@PrashanthSvr]

Awesome Intro! ♥

[@JJoeisCooking]

Very interesting lecture.

[@walmartpimp2]

I don't know why you got so many thumbs down, when you have a very valid point.

[@spaveevo]

very interesting lecture.

[@carlbagui101]

nice something to learn

[@cro508]

i love how he put it 'in computer' hahaha

[@seannoble7665]

Butterfly Collecting Clit? huh

[@Rationalific]

The Creation museum, at least, has a saddle on a dinosaur and shows dinosaurs and humans interacting. They think the earth is 6,000 years old. What do you think of their opinion?

[@oboy7562]

what about a vast semi aquatic grassland? or equivalent to grass,

[@vexviper]

I learned something new!

[@aSkepticalman]

"Tail like a mighty cedar" is probably a reference to the shape of a hippo's tail, rather than it's dimensions.

[@dwightehowell6062]

He didn't fix my pet peeve with all Sauropod reconstructions. You have a huge animal with a large nasal opening and some cretin comes along and plugs the hole leaving a tiny opening that would have caused it to suffocate.

[@aaronrayne]

What we know about our world is always evolving, changing, and reshaping what we thought we knew. We are always learning, and will continue to do so as long as we are inquisitive about existence on this planet. I feel sorry for creationists who are so blind, narrow-minded, and stuck in a place that never changes and remains constant. It must be true Hell to live like that.

[@breannbubolz6583]

Or the idiots who say that scientists and science can't change as we learn more... Those are worse than creationist folks. One is an ignorance based on belief. The other is just a willful ignorance based on fear and the refusal to chance their thought process... The first one is nowhere near as dangerous as the last one...

[@DABS139]

Patients? lOl I hope I'm never a "patient" of that scientist.

[@TestTheAcid]

and i suppose crocs have fish teeth lol

[@tredzwater]

Which is the only answer you are capable of giving. Sad, but totally expected.

[@vincentsedubun]

For something that is eternal, i find it useless that an eternal being invents time. We use time to use it to relate because we don’t have forever. For the creator question, i could explain in a nutshell way. If i would play a strategy computer game, i could use my nerd knowledge to program a stationary builder-unit and brag that it is the best building-unit in the game. One day, people over the internet might praise that unit for being marvelous of building worlds.

[@DBSpy1]

This has always been a dog eat dog world,even when the were no dogs.

[@walmartpimp2]

There's good people and bad people, really! Thanks I didn't know that.

[@guitargod909]

EXTREEEEEEME

[@get2rog]

Here here!

[@supermariologanfan6546]

Ungay Wrong one

[@snapsalot]

You forgot to add hurrrr derrrp at the end of your tales.

[@CodyShell]

i ain't scrollin' down to these comments, its a war down there!

[@NEWjafan12]

46:42min? Now thats Bizarre

[@lauratowerhunt]

flamingos when they filter their food out of the water spends most of them time with it's head upside down while feeding so why is this head position so unusual or 'new'?

[@MrJonnyPepper]

He kind of looks like Billy from Gremlins

[@federicofumagalli5969]

wow

[@Appocratesthegreat]

It's not ignorance in cases like this it's simply denial.

[@walmartpimp2]

P.S. Cowards don't start fights, they simply turn the other cheek and claim to take "the high road" and walk away.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

Some of the largest sauropod foottracks known were found in Europe (in the Jura moutains, I believe).

[@Appocratesthegreat]

Yes we can

[@griffinflyer77]

Birds do sink,and scientists have made fossils in the lab.

[@Superhostideas]

hi ! Are there scholarships in paleontology in the United States?

[@Balty_Burnip]

daniel de la cruz There are! While most colleges simply insist on a double major of Geology and Biology, there are a few colleges that offer courses solely on Paleontology.

[@snap_fit8686]

Still not late to change your major,,

[@Tidoublemy]

Interesting but it seems like there was a *ton* of guesswork with the dinosaur he explained in depth.

[@antbonyziemiak208]

I DARE YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO OF THE ASHLEY PHOSPHATE BEDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

[@NehemiahDC]

Why are none of these "Extreme" dinosaurs wearing roller blades?

[@Flagship87871414]

BTW - Sorry for the typos. Too frustrated to concentrate on typing properly!

[@aSkepticalman]

Perhaps you're right, but that should be only in areas of geological disruption, faults, compression features and so on.

[@vincentsedubun]

Sure, Our ancestors looked at all things they could not explain clearly, and named them things or deities they could identify with. They passed on their tales, sometimes exaggerated, to their children children's and today they still perform the rituals bounded to that belief.

[@aSkepticalman]

Doesn't John say, "You shall be judged by your deeds, not your beliefs?" or words to that effect.

[@henrychouk]

am from Algeria ! and i never saw them before because i live in the other half of the country wich is like other european boring countrys !

[@griffinflyer77]

Here is the theory of evolution in a nutshell.Nothing exploded and formed hydrogen and helium,which contracted into stars(against all laws of physics(not blowing apart)which blew into denser elements to form earth.Random chemicals formed life(also against all laws of physics)which grew into humans. Impossible!

[@davisjugroop3782]

could the bone be thin because of some chemical reaction that ate the calcium away

[@aSkepticalman]

You actually asked three questions, which I will answer directly. 1/ Questioning established thinking is part of the scientific method and practice, but questions should be logical, backed up with evidence and that evidence must be available for scrutiny. 2/ Are you sure that people react to questioning evolution in the way you describe? I usually apply knowledge, logic and reason, as emotion does tend to cloud ones judgement. 3/ If a question is ridiculous, then expect a ridiculous answer.

[@671LordsofGuamtown]

RAWR!

[@PrashanthSvr]

Long and Awesome Intro

[@griffinflyer77]

The facts r on my side.

[@allgoo19]

"For every existing creation, there HAS to be creator." == Who was the creator of the creator?

[@greghawkins59]

nat geo LIVE! LIVE!!! IT WAS 2 FUCKING YEARS AGO

[@tigrecono]

I like dinosaurs.

[@griffinflyer77]

Plus,why aren't there any links?They are all missing!

[@crazybassplayerdude]

@ganja52gurl actually neanderthalensis had a brain size of 1500 cc's, whereas homo sapiens aka us had 1400 cc's. :)

[@KorradoXan]

anyone else gets the sensation this bloke gets off on hearing himself talk?

[@griffinflyer77]

Yep.

[@gemmi42]

dinosaurs, no. mammoths, perhaps.

[@ninjaisgay5657]

What about Dreadnoughtasaurus? It has a shin as tall as a man!

[@HlynurOskar557]

46 mins!?!?!? I better get a sandwich!

[@pixelpanda34]

I started to chuckle at your comment and then it escalated to laughing like a crazy woman. Haha!

[@OhNoItsJoana]

Well, some dinosaurs that were arboreal before it became mainstream.

[@squirreljester2]

I work in Naperville!

[@Aigloblam]

I think could be referring to the areas where older striations of land have somehow ended up on newer areas. Thats really the only way it makes sense. Unless im mistaken and he just didnt understand.

[@HOMEALONE120]

@Vide0mak3r The only problem with grass is that is was not around till the late Cretaceous, but i do agree that if it ate water plants it would have to hold its breath every time which would not be very effective.

[@aSkepticalman]

I do not understand your reference to the fossil record being wrong, marine reptiles and dinosaurs existed at the same time, but in different habitats.

[@griffinflyer77]

Sorry for the blooper,meant pelvic area....

[@hypn0298]

Theropods didn't live alongside sauropods? Walking With Dinosaurs Allosaurus model used for Mapusaurus? WTF

[@kkdakat]

very interesting. It's like a college lecture haha.

[@vic-qd2ij]

Now it’s called a ted talk

[@aSkepticalman]

In my reading of the comments on this scientific video about a new dinosaur, it is the creationists who aggressively assert that scientific opinion is wrong and that the evidence is faked. It isn't the scientists fault that research does not agree with the Bible.

[@PPiTTislakatamia]

if i had a time machine.....first stop...dinisaurs age..

[@Vide0mak3r]

@itsasin1969 I say grass, if he ate water plants his head would be stuck in the water most of the time. Its nose is right at the end aswell as its teeth. So if it ate water plants its nostrols would be under water. Don't think thats logic :p

[@p51spittinnails]

@305tzar i pretty much found that out from your comment.

[@Rationalific]

You can enjoy the videos. I just hope you don't think that people rode the dinosaurs.

[@mighty2192]

Gigantosaurus was 50 feet long
