5 Popular Dinosaurs That Aren't Really Dinosaurs

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

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! A special thanks to the Ridge Wallet for making this video possible! Get up to 40% off with my link www.ridge.com/clint from now until December 22nd!

    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.

Meanwhile icthyosaurs were known because they had fantastic remains including one GIVING BIRTH TO LIVE YOUNG.

    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.

    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?

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!

    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.

    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.

My favourites have always been tyrannosaurus rex, ankylosaurus and baryonyx walkeri, but mosasaurs are truly epic such as tylosaurus and mosaurus hoffmani. Other favourites are smilodon fatalis and phorusracus and other terror birds. Love your channel Clint!!!
