What if I told you that your favorite dinosaur isn't a dinosaur at all? I have had this conversation with many people. There are many ancient reptiles that are huge and famous and aren't dinosaurs at all. Today we'll look at the top 5 most popular dinosaurs, that aren't dinosaurs at all (as well as one honorable mention). Happy Dinosaur December!

I'm 61 years old, and when I was a child, my Dad was very much interested in dinosaurs. Living in New York City then, we had easy access to what at the time was probably the largest display of skeletons open to the public at the time. He even worked for Disney during the setup of the 1965 World's Fair, who did the large display of animatronic dinosaurs there. When I was a young adult, I read Robert Bakker's book which proposed the likelihood that many dinosaurs were endothermic, rather than exothermic. But still I'm continually amazed at the evolving taxonomy of dinosaurs (and those that we now know were not necessarily dinosaurs) as the research continues.

Favorite dinosaur (since you asked) : Anchiornis.

When as an adult I leaned that we had fossilized melanosomes that could bring this animal to life for us in a way that I thought was impossible - it was a unbelievably awesome demonstration of how cool and advanced science is :)

Hearing that Plesiosaurs are reasonably-related to turtles makes a lot of sense. Take a longer-necked turtle (or even a common snapping turtle), toss it on a sea turtle, and un-fuse the shell back to standard ribs, and ta-da, Plesiosaur.
T-Rex, the best pet dinosaur? I'm guessing a 0 for availability, but what is it's handleability, care, hardiness, and upfront costs?

For some reason when I read your name, I read it as GoBlinking instead of GoblinKing.
I think the zeitgeist on discussions of these things is fascinating. Growing up in the 90s, the plesiosaurs and pliosaurs (especially liopleurodon) were the hot things. They are cool, huge, bizarre looking and amazing. Mosasaurs was something barely talked about as a kid. Meanwhile icthyosaurs were known because they had fantastic remains including one GIVING BIRTH TO LIVE YOUNG. In these times, this video summing up perfectly, my home boy liopleurodon doesn't even get a mention, and mosasurs are the hottest coolest thing in the conversation.
Not necessarily my favorite ancient marine reptile that is erroneously called a Dinosaur, but I have to give credit to Pliosaurus funkei. It was truly amazing and impressive and was given one of the coolest scientific names of all time. And after initially being given the popular name "Predator X" it is really cool that it's scientific name isn't a step down from that video game type name.
A really comprehensive and informative paleobiology video that's leagues more educational and interesting than channels dedicated to paleobiology. I had been wondering why certain species evolved vertical or horizontal flukes/tail fins for a while, and you explained the working theory very clearly. Excellent, well-researched video.

To be fair about dinosaurs being "terrible lizards", the terrible part is (I'm fairly sure) a bit of drift in meaning - words coming from "terror" has had a bit of a habit of that, so with modern usages it might be more accurate to say "terrifying lizards", and while not lizards some dinosaurs would certainly be terrifying to see walking around in your vicinity!

Liopleurodon is by far my favorite plesiosaur. When there was all that hype about Predator X, I was snookered in. My favorite flying creature was Rhamphorynchus. I just really dug the tail and leaf shape at the end. And my toy packs had Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus in them, so my Dimetrodon was the boy, and the Edaph was his wife. Thanks for the video.
It's cool how Archosaurs evolved the ability to fly _two times,_ which is a big deal considering how rare it is. The only other animals that I can think of that have the ability to fly are various insects and bats.
Clint has the superpower to make literally any animal sound exciting just by his own personality showing through while describing things. It truly is one of my favorite things to look forward to every week.
I love that dimetrodon is on this list. Whenever someone ask me what my favorite dinosaur is, I give the my favorite carnivore, carcaradontasaurus, and my favorite herbivore, ankylosaurus, or I tell them my favorite prehistoric reptile, which I always specify, which is dimetrodon.

He's done plenty of sharks too, all safely and legally of course.
The Mosasaur is my favorite Not-a-dinosaur. The Proto-mosasaur which it evolved from looks exactly like a monitor, and apparently its this wide mouth and flexible throat and long tail that helped them transition into such excellent sea predators.

I love these videos! Clint is so good at explaining biology, and his energy and enthusiasm for these topics really shows!
These phylogeny videos are so awesome! Especially excited for that extinction one you mentioned at the end😊
I'm loving this series and can't wait for more!! This episode taught my 6 year old dino-fan that some of his favorite species aren't dinosaurs. But that doesn't make them any less cool!
One of my new personal favourite non-dinosaurs from the Mesozoic is Lisowicia from the Late Triassic, which was very recently discovered in Poland. A distant relative of mammals that look somewhat like a cross between a reptile and a hippo but with the size of an elephant. And these may have been hunted by some of the earliest giant theropods that lived at the same time, which were about the size of Allosaurus and which were discovered in nearby southern Sweden so recently that they don't even have an official scientific name yet. The Late Triassic is definitely about to become one of my favourite epochs.

Dinosaur December is amazing. Thank you Clint and team!
the funnest thing i've learned about pterosaurs recently, is that a bunch of them had their scapulae anchored to fused thoracic vertebrae (a "notarium"), in a manner not _entirely_ unlike how the pelvic girdle is anchored to and fused with the sacrum
I'm curious about the "side to side" vs "up and down" movement on the case of the Spinosaur, since they are dinosaurs but with a tail clearly adapted to side to side propulsion. Was it just a readaptation on the tail to move side to side or did they move their entire spine this way?
They can say whatever they want, one of my favorite videos so far. Ty Clint!

Thank you a million times for making this video. I've been teaching people over and over through the years about these groups and how they are not related to dinosaurs. It's so nice to have mass media cover this content too and make my life easier. Plus as a scientific community, isn't it time we start renaming animals with archaic names that don't make any sense anymore?! Dinosaurs are the worst name to give them!

Your videos are so well made you are my inspiration for everything reptile.
My favorite 'dinosaur' is Baryonyx. I use them as inspiration for dragon drawings sometimes.
I would love to see you make a video about the semi-erect posture of crocodilians. It is fascinating how they have the side-to-side spinal movement for swimming, but also the up-and-down movement when galloping on land like a mammal.
Absolutely loving Dinosaur December! Thanks Clint! 🙂
That bit about the vertical versus horizontal evolution of spine movement just blew my mind. I never noticed it!
Somewhat hoping you cover a couple of the main crocodilians that existed in prehistoric times in a separate video, namely the T-rex sized Deinosuchus (which I believe is infinitely cooler than any dinosaur) and the equally enormous Purussaurus. Funny how a caiman capable of devouring dinosaurs evolved several million years after, during the age of mammals. The fact that even filter-feeding crocodilians evolved at several points in time really illustrates how incredibly successful these animals are.

What you said about body stance affecting the tail orientation of secondarily aquatic tetrapods is interesting, considering that _Spinosaurs,_ one of the few highly aquatic dinosaurs, had a vertical tail paddle.

I guess the appropriateness of the “terrible” in “terrible lizard” depends on how you interpret the word. A lot of words like awesome and awful or terrific and terrible have changed meaning quite a bit over time, so it might just mean that they’re large and impressive and “great”. I’d never thought of how word meanings changing could impact animal and creature names. Interesting thought.
