The bigger question is why is it just now being officially recognized? Like medical doctors run into complications trying to perform procedures on people who ride horses regularly because it makes the bones very dense. I mean yeah I wouldn't use that to track the dispersion of horses but like it's pretty well documented it really does some stuff.

Sorry, is there an alternative universe out there that I'm not aware of. He did definitely say 'Nuns that use chariots' ... I listened to it twice. Is there a Warhammer Army I've never heard of. Does anyone remember the RPG 'Nuns with Guns', any correlation to this chariots business ? Maybe I've also misinterpreted the Pope declaring a Papal Bull all this time as well.

5:08 Lake Mungo mention! If anyone's visiting the Australian outback, definately definately visit Lake Mungo. It's an incredibly fascinating paleontological site and there's massive hordes of kangaroos and emus there.

Oh you can still get that but I don't know if I would call it cheese exactly. It's a little bit more complicated than that It doesn't necessarily solidify very easily. It is however the fermented dairy product that we tend to find preserved... And obviously being so ancient it's definitely solid when we get to it 😂

You're all surprised this New Mexican tyrannosaur marks the notion these theropods were endemic? If Asian Tyrannosaurs and American Tyrannosaurs weren't given credit before, please do it for them now.

[@The_Dinosaur_Heretic]

Something that’s becoming clear recently is that Late Cretaceous North American dinosaur clades exhibit endemism, which is when clades are only found in a specific area. Teratophoneins are seemingly the South’s tyrannosaurine clade and the North has the daspletosaurins. It’s less to do with individual taxa being native to an area, but more so to do with a whole collection of related animals being native to an area. It’s a very interesting phenomenon and I’d love to see more research on it

[@codymoon7552]

Those darn invasive species!!!

[@darcieclements4880]

Yeah I'm a little surprised cuz I thought it had been corrected in the record that carnivore diversity was lost due to humans having a tendency to completely annihilate them out of fear and then whatever remains repopulating. Also there's a really bad habit of people just assuming all the similar scary looking animals are the same thing even when they're not. If you go back and take samples from old collected remains and look at the DNA you start finding some real variation that was lost and that's just what was annihilated in the last couple hundred years. Humans have been freaking out in annihilating predators for a lot longer than that😂 It always surprises me as a generalist how much information doesn't move between different scientific disciplines when it really should and I can only assume it's because people get so heavily stuck in the specialty that they miss the updates from the other areas. I'd like to think that that's improving right now and that's the reason why we're getting these papers finally, so hopefully things will be less overdue in the future. Then again sometimes things don't get published because it's too well known. I can't even begin to describe the number of papers I've read where I'm like well yeah, how is this not documented before. Why did I not think to document this formally? 😅

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Why are so many predator dino's bipedal and all mammals 4 legged minus a few giant birds?

[@Jpteryx]

Most dinosaurs have heavy tails, so their center of gravity is near their hips and it's easy for them to stand on two legs. Most mammals have small or thin tails, so their center of gravity is in front of their hips and they need a pair of front legs to support themselves.

[@UncleBadT]

[@Chompchompyerded]

I wonder if dinos shed their skins like snakes and lizards, or if they moulted their scales and feathers like birds and mammals? Maybe they did neither, and just got exceedingly disgusting as the old dead skin, hair, and feathers crusted onto their bodies.

[@AncientWildTV]

The shedding process in dinosaurs likely varied depending on the species and their skin covering. Some may have shed skin in a manner similar to modern reptiles, while others with feathers might have molted like birds.

[@darcieclements4880]

That would depend on the localized body covering per species. You made some assumptions in your initial claims of what modern animals do and you might want to double check that because I think you'll find It actually changes with the particulars of the body covering more so than with the genetic lineage.

[@johnscanlon8467]

Only Sphenodon (Tuatara) and squamates (lizards and snakes) undergo cycles of complete skin regeneration and ecdysis. The closer relatives of dinosaurs (birds, crocodiles and turtles) don't do that, so it's unlikely dinos did. I've seen some mentions of moulting of flight feathers in Confuciusornis or one of the other Liaoning avialan/paravian species, but haven't followed up lately.

I bet the Tyrannosaurs diversified quickly through sexual selection in ways similar to how many birds today, so in the same way that there are many closely related birds that have overlapping territory and diets, yet still speciate from each other. So perhaps they had unique mating behaviors, like calls, hide or feather markings, or maybe even dare i say it.....Dances. I mean they got those big long legs so i bet they could really throw it down.
