'Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong' is a series that makes paleontology accessible to the general public using familiar (but wrong) dinosaur toys.

[@lexibyday9504]

I still want a "The Dinosaurs That Weren't" that takes an inacurate dinosaur and speculates how it would have lived if a dinosaur like that did evist.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

>Someone sends in an eagle sized metalic green colored Bluejay thibg Ydaw: I wonder what kind of niche this dinosaur could have held

[@lexibyday9504]

@@diegodankquixote-wry3242 I feel like you're referencing something specifically. Sorry I don't know it.

[@josepholiveira2873]

I'm very amused by how, toward the end of the iguanadon animation over the final credits, the addition of a dewlap and back spines actually make it look more like an iguana. Everything old is new again.

I'm very tempted to send in one of my 'beasts of the mesozoic' raptors because they're so cool but i love them too much

[@InkGraffiti]

I don't think he keeps the toys unless the sender specifically says so so you can just ask to have the toy back once he's done a video on it! ( If it's velociraptor specifically he's done a video on that one already though )

[@kylebrady969]

@@InkGraffiti I thought it was the opposite? He kept the toys unless told that the owner wants them back afterwards. That's what he said in past episodes of the show

[@itsahostiletakeover]

We definitely need to get them one, even if I just send it straight from creative-beast.com. The first wave of ceratopsians will be here in a month or so as well. 🙂

[@KhanMann66]

Lenaya Rhoden someone send in Dilophosaurus especially with the new discoveries to the head crest.

[@mhuntprofessional]

I seriously can't believe a beasts of the mesozoic figure hasn't shown up yet. They are phenomenal quality and set the standard for detailed dino figures.

[@laurachapple6795]

The 'Human Costume' shirt was from me. I couldn't figure out how to send anything with it. I figured better too big than too small.

[@YourDinosaursAreWrong]

Thank you! :)

[@RowdyBoy82]

It was a cute shirt!

[@Shroommoggy]

Where’d you get that shirt? I find it too hilarious not the get one

[@SleepySloth2705]

The sauropods in Primal were surprisingly accurate, especially their feet which have toeclaws on the hind feet and the single-clawed hooved front feet

[@josh_reptiliano]

Good thing they do not have those elephant like feet that a lot of sauropods gets in pop culture

[@bruhcheese7493]

Is your camera named Camarasaurus? That's definitely what I would name my camera if I had one.

[@vaporean_boylove.0w083]

I wonder what kind it would be in if it were a dino. Maybe a sourapod

Fun fact about that Utahraptor, it was originally supposed to be Baryonyx in the European segment of the WWD episode "Giant Of The Skies", but for some reason they went with Utahraptor instead.

[@InkGraffiti]

I lol'd at UTAHraptor appearing in europe. of all things. but i love these mail bag episodes, they're just super chill and pleasant to listen to

[@helloworld2409]

Well i suppose it makes sense with iguanodon and polacanthus carrying over

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

1:26 As someone from Australia, I can tell you the state/territory codes. ACT - Australian Capital Territory NSW - New South Wales (the state Sydney is in) NT - Northern Territory (a.k.a. Darwin/Alice Springs area) SA - South Australia (where Adelaide is located) TAS - Tasmania (I'm sure most of you know where that is) VIC - Victoria (the Melbourne state) WA - Western Australia (the entire western third, not to be confused with Washington) 2:32 Fun fact: _Minmi_ used to be the shortest dinosaur genus name, until it was superseded (subseded?) by _Yi_ in 2015. 10:18 Those feet look like some bird/dog hybrid.

[@Everett1107]

WE NEED AN AUSTRALOVENATOR EPISODE (Or at least it would be cool)

[@planetaxolotl4398]

Wait a sec, this isn't yoyo's discord

[@wadespencer3623]

Genuinely would be interested, it would be a good excuse to talk about Mesozoic Australia.

Australovenator is my favourite dinosaur :)

3:14 that is the 3rd time I've heard "Nutter butter-saurus".

[@betavirus]

I just want to mention how much I love the Iguanadon walk sequence at the end.

[@GenjiKoi]

That is a bit of mail. A lot a bit. It’s seriously awesome how so many people just want to pitch in and gift some kind words.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Rhoetosaurus is another Australian dinosaur, this one isn't from the Early-Mid Cretaceous, surprisingly enough. It's from the Mid Jurassic actually, around 170-160 million years ago, which is a rare find in Australia. And the larger Muttaburrasaurus toy looks more like an Iguanodon.

[@spohptheelectricaxolotl6992]

"Look at those feet!" Holy taxonomy and digitigrade locomotion!

[@Rahru]

Rhoetosaurus got a profile in Orbis Publishing's Dinosaurs! magazines, but that was pretty much the only time I saw it depicted anywhere.

[@beesarecoming]

Minmi is an Australian place name! As an Aussie (pronounced ozzy, not ossy), I'd love to see some of our local dinos featured.

[@RoodFamilyYouTube]

You guys are awesome! One day it would be cool if you sold detailed 3D renders of dinosaurs (like for 3D printers) and then update them as new information comes out.

[@NemanorTheAlmighty]

This channel needs to be on PBS

[@Special_Tactics_Force_Unit]

Seriously!! we needed a YDAW show like yesterday

[@Ankylosaurus_mangiventris]

Finally, a new video. I missed you, guys

[@semaj_5022]

Honestly I'd actually really enjoy a livestream of y'all learning and playing that game! It sounds really entertaining. Very interesting idea for a game and the execution seems top tier. I love the idea of mixing different features and traits and figuring out how that would work/look. Looking forward to seeing what else y'all got mailed and I absolutely can't wait for the next YDAW dino profile episode.

[@theacro3472]

Rhoetosaurus was 15 meters long with a height of 7 meters and i believe it belongs in the clade gravisauria

[@sarahcathousecritters]

Well done Ben from Australia! Thanks for giving more recognition to Aussie dinosaurs, hopefully to be seen into some up and coming episodes. 🙂😁👍

Is it weird that I have been falling asleep the last few nights while watching this man open his mail?

That deinocheirus figure that was being sold in these little candy eggs at my walmart. They had originally called it a compsognathus, which I don't think is right.

[@deidaraart5]

Because of where you put the first toy, it looks like it’s transparent (because of the white paper and brown table) and that tripped me out hard LOL

[@christianheisch8472]

Yes, please Camarasaurus. My son will get the same model on sunday, after i did the repaint.

I recently found an awful and weird toy dinosaur in a toy bag at home. It's in a very outdated pose (standing on its tail) and looks bad overall, I don't even know wich dinosaur it is supposed to be, but it has a few feathers. I was very confused when I found that thing. :D If I find some more interesting stuff I will definetly send it to you ^^

[@grindsaur]

The Australovenator has been on the barbie! Those Aussies! :D

[@raiknightshade3442]

So much mail!!! Look at all those fun toys!!!!!

[@FirstLast-lc6oq]

You 2 are great;) ...love your work

[@craftykit2242]

6:03 that protoceratops reminds me of some pictures of bootleg kaiju toys I’ve seen in articles about dnd’s history. Gary Gygax would use toys like these as mini figures in his games, and some of dnd’s unique monsters are based on them These 3 definitely look more like monsters than dinosaurs, i could very easily see them being used in a tabletop game

[@Shroommoggy]

I hope you do some of the Aussie dinos, Australovenator is my personal favourite dinosaur :) I just love megaratorids in general
