1:10 Correction: Dromaeosaurs aren't the ancestors of birds, they are a sister group within Paraves. Together with troodontids and (maybe) scansoriopterygids.

some would suggest dromaeosaurs are birds because they appear after the first birds and earliest dromaeosaurs are more birdlike than archaeopteryx

Paleontology sure has been at a high recently!

@@GregoryShtevensh well age isn’t the only factor in fossil’s preservation. It has to do with how it died mostly. Its lucky because it died in a way that it couldn’t be eaten by scavengers and ripped apart so it preserved very well.

"Taxonomically ignorant." Dude, thats pretty harsh, ouch.

The part of tbe formation that microraptor was found in preserves a cool forest dominated by cypresses, ginkgos and seqoias, there is a large diversity of bennitales and cycads presurved. There also seems to have been swamp forest of Krassilovia trees(referred only as Podozimites, so they could be a broad leafed podocarp(like nageia) or a novelly adapted agathis(kauri) line araucaria but as Krassilovia swamp forest seems to have been a common ecosystem in the northern hemisphere at this time). With some specimens of microraptor presurving the remains of crabs in their stomachs.

Babe wake up, new prehistoric animal just dropped

Greatly detailed video - thanks a lot for keeping us in the loop!

I thought dromeosaurs were the cousins of birds

I’m glad for the discovery and to know the first ancestor of my favorite animals… dogs.

I totally agree that descriptive nomenclature is better. Easier to remember, and more fun.

Dromaeosaurids aren’t the ancestors of birds, they’re close cousins probably a sibling group, EDGE I’m just disappointed.

Yo loved the video! Awesome to see a dromeosaur so well preserved haha. Keep it up!

Absolutely loved the rant about the species name! That was super fun to watch

Never thought i'd be so excited to hear about intenstines.

What a beautiful animal it was

this is a treasure trove like no other of information about theropod anatomy

Incredible find! Fossils like these are very rare.

@E.D.G.E, as to whether or not various almost birds were naked in some areas, I suggest googling hybrid birds. I was at first hoping to find cool Gray Parrot and Green Parrot hybrids (either not possible, or never tried), but accidentally found the horror show that is accidental farm hybrids. The worst was the Brundle-Fly looking thing that happens when a turkey and a chicken shake and bake. The poor things are healthy, though obviously entirely sterile, but they look like someone tried to pluck them, and missed half the feathers. In hybrid plants, often the ancestral conditions show as dominant (as in the artificial hybrid of cabbage and radish), so perhaps this is also true in this tragic figure? Maybe where it is bald, some common ancestor of both ancestors was as well? Thanks for the thought-provoking episode.

Metroid music in the beginning. Nice.

Yay. I live in hohhot. Nice to see we're still digin up bones.

Dang origins that’s a lucky ,rare ,and cool find.

new favourite dinosaur omg, i love this silly lil guy!

birds did not come from dromeosaurids but they are a sister clade

Instantly thought.......psittacosaurus bumhole O-O beautifully preserved

Great stuff!! I found intro and outro music a bit too loud compared to your voice, would be nice if you equalised it a little)

I wish I could have a farm of dromaeosaurs. I don't think it'd be particularly hard (disincluding the larger Utah and Dakota varieties). It'd be western themed and have a coop for each. Then again, even roosters could make a fellow jump now and then. No sense in adding teeth and talon to that.

where can i find artwork from 14:14 , it is so cool.

Neoteny might have played a role in their evolution, but assuming it's a baby based off feet proportions and head proportions also ignores that both of those are better explained by an aquatic lifestyle for this dinosaur.

At 13:40 you say insects but show a spider. I'm usually not this petty but I've seen people make the mistake too much, sorry

Dig for fossils in china without finding a small feathered dinosaur challenge (impossible)

As long as they don't go naming shit "indominus rex" I'm fine with it.

Maybe discoverers are naming their specimens simple "stupid" names because they want people who are not as educated on the subject to be able to remember these creatures more easily. I love science and am not intimidated by the big words but it's easier to share my love of it with those friends less nerdy or children when I "dumb it down" a little. They don't automatically tune out on me when I make an effort to not sound like an insufferable smarty pants.

Daurlong is the most extreme 😉

I still don't find why are you till cropping the image on top and bottom. It's not "cinematic", the purpose of scientific videos is to inform by showing, you are hiding almost half o the information by doing that. It has been demonstrated, specially after IMAX releases that Most people prefer the 1.85:1 aspect ratio (16:9) over 2.39:1
