We now know that the dinosaurs gave rise to a warm-blooded modern lineage as well called birds and that some of the dinosaurs themselves were warm blooded and had feathers.

[@thespookyravioliranger1494]

All dinosaurs were warm blooded to a certain extent, similar to turtles

[@Freshie207]

+SpookySocialist Turtles aren't warm blooded (Endothermic) they are all cold blooded (Ectothermic) but the Leatherback Sea Turtle has a little understood system wherein it is able to generate enough heat to survive in cold deep seawater, at one point it was thought to metabolise food at a much faster rate than all other reptiles but this is looking increasingly unlikely so now they reckon it achieves this by being active for well over 95% of it's life essentially it's body and muscles are always warmer than the surrounding sea water because it's always actively swimming.

[@jmartinez7890]

Dinosaurs didn't give rise to birds, they were birds. Its just that the only survivors of the k-2 extinction were dinosaurs in the aves subgroup, called "avian dinosaurs" they make up 100% of living dinosaurs. They were the flying feathered dinosaurs, so there ancestors (modern birds) all have the same attributes as them, but they are still just as much of dinosaurs as the t-rex or the ankylosaurs.

[@Rosstafa]

@@jmartinez7890 Dinosaurs weren't birds, but birds are dinosaurs, in the same way that sharks are fish, but fish aren't all sharks. Dinosaurs still tend to be classified as reptiles (as are birds, among some taxonomists).

[@wewonesverdes101]

Nicolas Monti no the dinosaurs look more like lizards than dinosaurs

[@riamus7258]

@David Shaughnessy you are factually and objectively wrong there.

[@riamus7258]

@David Shaughnessy yes, reptiles is more accurate. Dinosaurs are archosaurs, but lizards aren't archosaurs. Also, I stand neutral in the feather/scales debate. In case you are one of those people that still believe that tyrannosaur was really fluffy like some chicken, let me state that we know as a fact that it wasn't. If it had feathers they would've been very small, like elephant fur, almost tiny. And tyrannosaur is not a bird, birds belong in aves which is the only surviving group of theropoda, whereas tyrannosaurs although theropods are not in aves, which means they weren't birds. Hence, they're called non-avian dinosaurs. As in those dinosaurs that are not birds (birds are scientifically proven to be dinosaurs in case you don't known that.)

[@Beroka5]

Now we know that timimus was a tyrannosauroid

[@iainmawhinney8867]

10:09 fossils found since then show that antarctica supported tundra with nothofagus shrubs and marsh grass until as recently as 3 million years ago, but there is no evidence of any animal bigger than an insect so perhaps the mammals were long gone by then

[@Vrex360]

Scientists were baffled and amazed. The discovery rocked the scientific world, throwing everything understood about prehistory into turmoil. The discovery was found in late Permian Era rock formations from Australia, the splintered remains of what appeared to be a modern sign. It fit the architecture of a simple human street sign almost perfectly. Making things more bewildering it was a sign that read: 'Dinosaurs' on one end and 'Mammals' on the other. Such a thing seemed to explain the origin of human evolution itself but such a thing defied our understanding! Scientists, scholars, politicians, theologists, the pope and eventually even youtube commenters for years to follow as the world plunged into anarchy and uncertainty. Eventually someone climbed out of the rubble and suggested that it was in fact either an elaborate hoax, or 'some dickhead with a time machine'. Then Marty Mcfly sheepishly stepped forward and after being scolded used the time machine responsibly by giving Donald Trump's father a vasectomy.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Allosaurus and Parasaurolophus in Australia?

[@nickhilligoss9210]

Allosaurus, yes. Or at least, a related allosaurid species - identification is from a single bone. Parasaurolphus, no - that dying dinosaurs sequence was not set in Australia because we don't have the fossils from the end of the Cretaceous here.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

There never was any allosaur species discovered in Australia, only megaraptors.

[@moatguy]

If you talking about the Parasaurolophus at 8:40 it's not in Australia. I've seen this documentery before and the dinosaur extinction in this show's set in America. Although it's not shown here the narrator says in the cut shot "Even the rich fossil beds of North America can't tell us for certain if the extinction was a big catacylsm event." So the shot is set in America for that scene. As for the Allosaurus it's common name is Polar Allosaurus as we see in Walking With Dinosaus. It's latin name is Australovenator. However people think the Polar Allosaurus is not from the same family as Allosaurus of the Jurassic.

[@Vrex360]

Megaraptors may have been related to Allosaurs though, or Tyrannosaurs, or Carcharodontosaurs or any other such group. No one seems to know for sure.

[@thecoffeeisblack]

It looks that bad because it's a prototype, it's a rough mock up of what the finished scene will be, essentially an animated storyboard with a bit more detail. This is bad too, but that's just because it's cheaply made and doesn't have anyone with a real talent for stop-motion behind it. If you want to see what Phil Tippett, the guy behind the Jurassic Park stop-motion (plus a ton of other great movies) and the CG director on the movie, then check out his 1985 short Prehistoric Beast.

Although, the movie that made me love dinosaurs and prehistory much more, was Jurassic Park, but this is a jewel.

How dinosaurs reach at Australian continent? Means there is no roadway in oceans.

When dinosaurs first evolved in the Triassic, all the major landmasses were joined together in a single supercontinent. Australia didn't exist as a fully separate continent until about 35 million years ago when it broke away from Antarctica.

Allosaurus did not live in australia

[@moatguy4471]

You're right. This and Walking With Dinosaurs did think this was a Polar Allosaur that survived in mid Cretaceous as a dwarf form in Australia due to a theropod ankle bone found in Dinosaur Cove Victoria. However a few years after Walking With Dinosaurs came out Daniel Chure who knew about Allosaurus anatomy said that due to being 90% different from the ankle bones of Jurassic's American' African and Europeon Allosaurus the Australian threopod the ankle bone belonged to was not an Allosaur or even related and maybe another group. Many experts now except his point of view. So these days the ankle bone in Australia is no longer thought to be an Allosaur though the kind of threopod it is still remains to be named due to other bones not being found so far.

[@poleflux]

WRONG! The earth began as a water world, ice, liquid water, frozen atmosphere, and a iceVll core (rock salt) The land and organics along with the iron core, came from the planetary impact that gave us our moon? You know, planet Mercury. You're standing on it. That's how the earth was made.

[@Jackson-xl7sv]

Nah. Search Hadean times. Our world was a fiery hellhole until a planet called Thea collided with us, fusing the two together. The planet stabilized and formed a rocky crust. After 500 million years, enough water had accumulated on Earth via comets to form oceans. If Mercury collided with us and we are standing on it right now, then why is it also still in orbit around the sun?

[@poleflux]

the most obvious is the most rational! It is clearly evident until people want to dream up things that leave questions, like where did the water come from? and so on, my theory answers them all, prove me wrong

[@Jackson-xl7sv]

Kellee Adams a. If we are standing on " Mercury" right now, then why is it also still I orbit around the sun? We collided with a planet that does not exist anymore. Because we collided with it. Meanwhile, comets are celestial objects that contain hydrogen and oxygen, the components of water.

[@poleflux]

Cole Counts mercury still exists because it being the rock earth was a semi frozen world with liquid water and a salt core without a surface, it was like a rock being cast into a pond.
