There's one crucial detail that should be mentioned regarding the feasibility of resurrecting dinosaurs, and that is the overwhelming gap of pathogenic microbe variation that evolved since the time of the dinos until today. Basically, the Dinosaur's outdated immune systems would be so overwhelmed with unfamiliar variants of diseases, that they might be unable to survive till adulthood at all.

[@austinthe710messiah2]

I really think the films just didn't want to add feathers because of the "costs" to animate every feather to move with the creatures without looking weird of glitchy. Its why Pixar didn't animate hair on their characters until those like Sulley arrived in Monsters Inc, plus the amount of time to do so in a timeframe back then would've delayed the film from releasing the year it did, which even nowadays is why things get rushed out.

[@stevep119]

the idea and discovery of feathered dinosaurs was made (or not very common knowledge) at the time the first Jurassic Park movie was made so after that they stuck to their dinosaur species that were in that first movie looking how they did in that movie for the rest (with the exception of 3 but we can forget that train wreck)

[@ariellovato1449]

As a paleo nerd and big Jurassic Park fan, a handful of corrections: Archaeopteryx was known waaaay before the 2016, more like 1861. We've also known about it having feathers for that long. At 6:50, that's a Compsognathus (which is not from the Cretaceous), not a Velociraptor, and that's a Brachiosaurus, not Brontosaurus (again, both from the Jurassic period, not Cretaceous). Also, brushing all of JP's issues as lack of feathers and shrinkwrapping is a little off. Jurassic Park actually went a great length to portray dinosaurs that were much more realistic for the time being and speculated where there were blank spaces in our knowledge. For the time being, Jurassic Park's dinosaurs were very much accurate to the modern science of 1993.

[@devastation2005]

Yeah. They’ve also stated how the accuracies have changed since the newer finds on what the dinos looked like in later installments, stating that, lore-wise, the dinos were attractions and were desired to be more thrilling than realistical, so they stayed similar looking.

I would also like to add that the velicoraptors in the films are more close to dakatoraptors, another dromaeosaurid, which hasn't been discovered to be with or without feathers with most paleontologists assuming such due to other raptors having them. Tyrannosaurus is only theorized, so no evidence of such, to have sparsed feathers as 2 large tyrannosaurs were discovered one without feathers and one completely feathered. so only really the dilophosaurus, the raptors and spinosaurus(back in '03 spino would be considered 100% accurate) are the most scientifically inaccurate dinosaurs that were shown in the films as the rest just have small details such as arm ordination or size.

[@pigsquatch65mya80]

Also, plant life has changed a lot since the Mesozoic. A lot of the ground foliage dinosaurs were eating included ferns and horsetails which are so much more nutritious than grass.

[@cardboard_knight5072]

I recently watched Godzilla vs Kong and it got me thinking about the skill sets of both Godzilla and Kong. That train of though led me down the rabbit hole of "How smart is King Kong" in the new movies because he not only shows sings of understanding, learning, and use of tools (like normal apes do) but he also is shown signs of complex decision making, is able to make quick decisions, is able to go against what he believes for the sake of the greater good (which people are not always capable of), and an understanding of the source of Godzilla's power. None of this is even mentioning his ancestor's knowledge of masonry and tool crafting. I was just wondering if you'd like to do a video discussing his intelligence (or his general skillset) along with that of Godzilla's (because Godzilla also shows signs of higher intelligence, especially at the end of the movie).

[@SethiozProject]

Actually some apes are smarter than 10yo kids. I've watched some documentaries about it, also even some cats and dogs are very smart and make complex decisions. For example check out "Billispeaks" channel (it's about a cat with extremely high intelligence and understanding of human words). There's another one called "CatmanJohn". I also saw a video of ape being able to understand what a handsaw is, without previously have seen anyone use it. They were making tests and just left a saw in reach of an ape, he picked it up and tried to cut a branch off tree with it, ovbiously not as effective as human, but he clearly understood what it's for and how to use it, he was trying to move it back and forth by adding force, but it often got stuck as he didn't properly hold the branch down. My point .. apes and other animals can often figure things out without having seen them done before. Considering that King Kong was superiour to other apes, I'd say he is/was more intelligent than average humans nowdays (not a joke). Nowdays most humans are so dumb that they don't even know how to change tyre on their car (I have seen people trying to use duct tape to fix car tyres...).

The oxygen levels were probably higher, explans the sizes of the dinosaurs of the eras. Also there are 4 stages in the evolution of feathers in the fossil record, more likely quills were the normal coverage, they could provide protection, camouflage, insulation and mative display.

@Gladeous Imagine caring about something so pointless.

[@benlee7565]

Oxygen isn't the only constraint to size. How dinosaur respiration systems are built is fundamentally different than mammals. They have a 1 way through respiration system with air sacs, allowing them to inhale and exhale at the same time. Our mammalian lungs are actually less efficient, because we don't exhale all air from our lungs when we breath out, and always leaving behind a bit of old air. Combining their more efficient respiration system with hollow bones that weight less, and being "mesotherms" so they don't cook themselves with their body heat allows them to be bigger.

[@pokemon05100]

You're grossly overestimating the difference in atmosphere, it's a minuscule change between the eras. A modern dino would survive fine, and if you were to be back in time you'd be breathing healthily too. Furthermore, downy feathers have been discovered all throughout avemetatarsalia (the group containing pterosaurs and dinosaurs).

[@MR._3]

[@syindrome]

If dinosaurs were feathered, then they were fundamentally insulated from the cold. A recent study by Olsen et al., titled "Arctic ice and the ecological rise of the dinosaurs" discusses physical evidence of seasonal freezing in high latitudes where dinosaurs lived, which is also supported by climate models of that era. Also, dinosaurs survived a bunch of volcanic winters.

The book already explains that these aren't dinosaurs, unlike the movies that just give little hints until Jurassic World when Wu says "and if they were pure, they would look much different." The book also does a better job explaining how incompetent the scientists at Jurassic Park are. They focus so much on trying to clone these dinosaurs that they mislabeled some. The dinosaurs we've come to accept as velociraptors are actually a species called deinonychus, and Michael Creighton thought velociraptor sounded cooler so he wrote that explanation in the book.

The real kicker and the main reason for me in firmly accepting the films and their dinosaur variants was the JP3 Spinosaurus.

The dinosaurs would only suffer from the oxygen problem if they were suddenly transplanted into an environment with a different level of oxygen but considering that they would be born at our level of oxygen they would have no reason to be used to a different atmosphere. The only conceivable change would be that their bodies may not develop to the same extent in a less rich or more rich oxygen environment.

[@cullenlatham2366]

We might not be talking about a time machine solution of transplantation, but complete molecular reconstruction seems a bit farfetched to me. Sure, if we were creating a new iteration of dinosaur for the modern era, adaption would come naturally to some extent, but when talking about bringing old dinosaurs into the modern era, we need something to work off of as a baseline. There is a limit to how far we could modify a dinosaur before it no longer resembles the original goal of scientific discovery and study. We arent trying to hatch a dino egg, we are trying to create a dino to create the egg. "born" into the modern era is not an easy cure-all for the problem. Even if birth was the first step, evolution does not happen instantly; many babies would die before maturity before they could evolve to adapt, and evolution does require reproduction to pass on genes and mutate said genes into new ideals. Reviving dinosaurs is far more complicated a concept to try and make reality than i really have the expertise to speak on.

[@kevinbarnard355]

It would likely take many generations to adapt permanently. If the genetic material used to recreate the dinosaurs was from their original genomes, they would develop as their previous environment demanded. Their natural lung development and oxygen transportation mechanisms would not be adequate. You would need to manually adjust their environment while they are developing, and those with mutations which were more useful for our modern environment would thrive faster and more successfully than those primarily adapted to the prehistoric atmosphere.

As soon as you go forward in time to the point where you could tell saurischians apart from ornthischians, there would be no members of this group besides pterosaurs, saurischians and ornithischians.

But even T-Rexes, which are among the most closely related to birds, didn't. Turns out that quills are a basal trait to dinosaurs, so they pop up in various, diverse forms here and there. But as dinosaurs became enormous, their purpose for feathers (insulation) was solved by their sheer size. So few lineages of dinosaurs apart from birds' kept them. Psitticosaurs (ancestral to triceratops) had quills related to feathers, but they weren't very "feathery." A huge carnivore, concavenator, had feathers. Ornithomimus and therazinosaurs, also distantly related to birds were also huge and had feathers.

I had thoughts similar to this theory lots of times. Being a dino nerd growing up, you get older and read more advanced, scientific studies and articles of dinosaur living conditions, generally the stuff talked about in this video. It's great mental exercise trying to formulate and simulate a living environment for these creatures in the modern day, but greatly affects my childhood wonder. And the fact that a lot of these dinosaur may look very diffrent due to the shrinkwrap technique really does damage to my nostalgia. And for good reason. Like, have you ever seen an elephant or a hippo skull? You will have a wholly different creature if you only work with bones, heck, ancient people mistook these skulls for monsters or cyclopses. That is both hilarious and disappointing.

From what I managed to dig up, more recent estimates of oxygen suggest that Jurassic oxygen levels were fairly similar to our own and the Cretaceous had roughly 27% oxygen in the atmosphere. A 2019 paper also suggest Triassic animals dealt with 15-19% oxygen in the air. The 10-15% is from a 2013 source which is bordering on old enough to be out dated completely. Bigger issue would probably be plant life for herbivores. Hadrosaurs would probably be fine cause they were insane eating machines, sauropods likely as well given enough vegetation. Ceratopsians, ankylosaurs and sometimes hadrosaurs dined on harder plants like ferns, cycads and sometimes wood. For the hadrosaurs, this was probably to get a treat of shellfish. Carnivores would be simpler, but would still need meat suited to their nutritional needs. The dinosaurs were also incredibly successful because they were adaptable, so depending on what species would be brought back for the zoo, they would probably survive fine in more open places. Though a giant reptile house still sounds really cool. Dinosaur zoo though would have pretty much the same complications and schedule as a real zoo.

Predators would also go after cattle and livestock (they already do even in africa, its simply a easier meal than the wild buffet options) just look at reports there, they have to go to extremes just to keep some lions, leopards, hyenas and cheetahs out etc. You see similar with bears breaking into cars, homes, and stores (granted not so much with herbivores but it does happen still) Such a thing would be all over the news as much as covid is.

The show is presented by a real wildlife presenter and features a real vet who plays herself treating the dinosaurs. The series was made in 2006, so some of the information is a bit out of date (feather dinosaurs *are* featured, but the T-Rex is still depicted as scaly) but I'd really recommend it.

I’ve got a theory or question based on the “ how many nuggets can break your fall” episode a while back. In the original Aladdin, Aladdin and Jasmine jump from a high building, a height of which I can presume is more than 6 stories, down below the ground into what appears to be a sewer. They hit several cloth-like objects before landing on sand. The time in which this happens is 23 minutes exactly and they fall for 4 (movie) seconds. So, how much sand can stop the decent of 2 humans of average weight and height for the time and place, at that speed, while surviving with the time that this fall could take. This is my question.

[@ColdRFusion]

That's a fall of 20 meters, so divided by 4 seconds they're traverlling at about 5m/s or 16' per second on impact or 1/7 of terminal velocity as they're being slowed down. It's very survivable, equivalent of falling from just 1 meter or 3'. As for the sand, it's... complicated XD Not much though.

i mean, i wasn't considering trex the type to eat things alive but if you mean its a scavenger than you bought into a famously BS theory

[@joshuakim5240]

T-Rexes likely ate both prey and corpses, whichever one was more convenient at the moment. Because if it wasn't a predator, then there would have been no reason for it to evolve its famously overkill biting anatomy, however being a predator also doesn't mean that it would have to only eat hunted prey since it likely could easily scare away smaller predators eating a corpse, then proceed to eat that half-eaten corpse out of convenience. One interesting thing found during study of the T-Rex skull structure is that they likely didn't roar like how Jurassic Park depicted them. They likely had a guttural, vibrating growl that would cause goosebumps to whatever heard it, making it scarier than a roaring creature in some ways.

[@jcw_is_back]

No, T. rex had great eyesight that was proven to be the same eyesight that predators of the new age like hawks had. So this proves that T. rex hunted and scavenged

[@Lyokoheros-KLPXTV]

@@jcw_is_back weren't some studies on their skulls proving that it actually has way bigger part of the brain responsible for smell than for sight, meaning it has absolutely strong sense of smell making finding corpses easy for it, and also being able to crush bones can be quite usefull for scavanger too, so I think T-rex could at least partially be a scavenger too.

As in diving, we are able to breathe 35% oxygen all of the time. The only place where oxygen toxicity becomes a factor is at least 90 feet underwater due to high pressures. There would be now way to produce that much pressure on the surface to create an atmosphere where the oxygen would be very toxic to them, unless they strapped on a scuba tank and went 100 feet underwater.

[@dannypipewrench533]

Fascinating. I always found the concentrated oxygen applications very interesting. For a while, astronauts were breathing pure oxygen. That was changed after Apollo I. But, if oxygen toxicity only becomes a problem under higher pressure, then that makes sense, because spacecraft were (and maybe still are) only pressurized at about 5 psi, which is roughly one third of sea level pressure (14.7 psi). A bit of research I did just now found that pressure at 100 feet under water is 44.5 psi, roughly 3 times sea level. I think I can see some correlation between safe oxygen concentration and pressure. Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears (from this limited amount of information) that oxygen concentration can be 3 times higher if the pressure is 9 times less.

[@meadmadness2698]

So what we reference in diving is Dalton's triangle where there are three parts of a triangle where you multiply the bottom two or divide the left and right to get the third value. To find the depth you take the partial pressure of the gas or where oxygen starts to become toxic is when it has a ppo2 of 1.6. You then divide it by the ppo2 of the gas at the surface or the fraction of the gas so .35 for 35% to get the depth in bars. 33ft is about 1 bar. So 1.4/.35 is 4 which is about 132 ft in depth. I was slightly incorrect before on the depth since we normally stay above 100 ft to stop oxygen toxicity. So oxygen becomes toxic with 35% oxygen at 132 ft underwater

Obviously, the book and movie Jurassic Park differ in a lot of ways, but the novel talked a lot more about the scientific aspects.

I believe the visitors were discussing possible issues with the park and Dr. Malcolm mentioned the stegosaurus wheezing. Michael Crichton elaborated very interestingly on the science of the park.

I remember when Jurassic Park came out and they played it in a store (I was about 9): The scene they showed was a T-Rex picking a guy up, with his legs dangling outside the Dino’s mouth. I burst into tears. Many years later, in my early-to-mid 20’s, I tried to mimic the scene: “Roar; I’m a T-Rex and I’m hungry! Look; a guy using the bathroom! Come here, buddy!” *I mimic a dinosaur reaching down to pick up the guy.* I then lay over the edge of a piece of exercise equipment and start kicking my legs to mimic the guy. Speaking of man-eating reptile monsters, I suggest you do Sound of Thunder, about how folks who go back to dinosaur times mess with evolution and unleash Dino-monkey monsters that prey on humans, so they have to hurry back to fix their mistake before a time wave changes them.

Fun fact: If you charted out all the things that ever lived on a time line, t-rex would have lived closer in the timeline to modern civilisation (65 million years ago) than it did to stegosaurus which lived about 155 million years ago or 90 million years before t-rex. If t-rex had the Intelligence of a human, stegosaurus would be as much of a mystery to it as t-rex is to modern humans. When most people think of these dinosaurs they tend to think of them all living together, eating each other and fighting but the sad reality is they are mostly separated by millions of years of time as well as drifting continents. There have probably been trillions of dinosaurs that have lived, died and decayed into nothing, millions of species that have completely disappeared to the relentless march of time that we will never know existed. The few bones we have found are from areas that had ground luckily enough to preserve and fossilise these bones from a few select species. We have a hand full of bones from a few hundred species but in the past billion or so years of life on this planet millions of species have come and gone without a trace, which I find absolutely fascinating. What did we miss?

Honestly, I don't think that having too low an oxygen content today would be too problematic for dinosaurs as they use a system of air sacs which birds inherited, for ultra efficient respiration. Also, when one can still acclimatise to a low oxygen environment quite fairly well even without major changes at the genetic level (just look at how mountain climbers do their acclimatisation training).
