Iguanodon: Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong
Ғылым және технология
/ ydaw -- Iguanodon's been with us for nearly as long as paleontology itself. Consequently, the way we reconstruct this animal has changed over and over, right down to the present day.

This so much! People of today tend to have a pretty prejudiced view of peoples of the past as being just plain 'dumber' than we are. People of the past were not stupid or less intelligent by any means! They were us, that's it, plain and simple. They just had more limitations and fewer giants' shoulders to stand on, and they became giants themselves. The amount of genius present in designs of early structures, machines, old tools, etc. is completely astounding. When I took apart an old air hammer and found essentially one moving part, just with a series of holes and galleys for air to pass through depending on where the part was, just left me astonished at the ingenuity, of how somebody created something basic to solve a complex purpose. The fact that the basic design of the internal combustion engine hasn't changed in over 100 years should convince anyone that we aren't any smarter than they were, we just have more knowledge.

Honestly it's amazing that the earliest paleontologists to work on Iguanodon got anything right, given that they had absolutely zero context for this kind of creature. Despite getting a lot wrong, they managed to work out that it was an herbivore, the initial size estimate wasn't off by all *that* much, and they even figured out that unlike any modern reptile, it chewed its food, and they even pieced together roughly how it did so.

I'm way too late to the conversation, but as a pet bird owner who sadly buried many birds (pets and wildlife rescue) they just kind of do that. When they're actively dying they bend their head back like that. Some mammals do it too.
“Are you watching a dinosaur toy in Dino clothes talk about lizards?” YES.
The Iguanodon wastebasket taxonomy phenomenon was far more wide-reaching than just Lower Cretaceous taxa. By the early 2000s, some workers still apparently classed Late Cretaceous taxa as Iguanodon, as is inferable from certain documentaries at the time, like how Dinosaur Planet referred to their Rhabdodon (an ornithopod more basal than Iguanodon) as a species of Iguanodon. Likewise, Late Jurassic taxa, like the British, hilariously-named Cumnoria were also at one point lumped within Iguanodon.
I know there is no chance that this is true, but my mental cannon about Bernissart, is that the iguanodonts used the place as a "elephant graveyard" sort of thing. Which i think could be a pretty cool behavior
@KnufWons
3 жыл бұрын
You may or may not know this already, but it turns out that elephant graveyards are the results of flooding pushing elephant corpses into the “graveyard”. The true nature of the area is that a whole bunch of bodies get caught and remain in that area, and the fact that so many elephant remains are found there is notable simply because elephants are big and noteworthy.
@kekkres
3 жыл бұрын
@@KnufWons not even, it's not a case of misreading the evidence. There is no evidence. There is not a single example of an elephant graveyard ever found. It's an idea that comes from old pulp stories of darkest africa and people just accepted the idea and it stuck in the cultural consciousness.
The crystal palace “pseudo-beak” kinda looks like they were using rhinoceros lips as reference, which would make sense since they gave it a nose horn as well. Also, maybe the iguanodon bonebeds are a sort of “elephant graveyard.” Maybe older iguanodons went to the swamp in search of food that was easier to chew, and ended up just dying of old age in that area?
@toblexson5020
3 жыл бұрын
I was thinking something alone the same lines. And maybe the occasional younger adult iguanodons were badly injured or ill enough to be abandoned by the herd, and relocated to this area, whereas juvenile members of the herd would be looked after right until death due to maternal instinct. It's hard to think of a reoccuring natural disaster that would only affect such a specific area and demographic, so it does seem to feel somewhat intentional. Although as humans we are prone to seeing intent where there is none.
9:10 that ain’t no iguanadon. That’s the rhedosaurus from the beast of 20,000 fathoms.
11:27 damn I wrote a paper on this for D. Altus. Memories
Glad to see this channel still going. I have always loved the hosts sense of humor sprinkled in through the fantastic animations.
In my opinion, this has to be one of the greatest KZread channels available nowadays. As a person who graduated both in the fields of science and visual arts, this kind of content is just the holy grail. Thank you for your educational service! Cheers from Portugal!
I am from Maidstone and went to the grammar school there. That coat of arms was on our school uniform. Strangely enough I just found out that the site of where it was dug up was long since built over with housing estates where one of my friends lived. The iganadon is still very famous and there is a cast copy of it in the local museum - which along with a smuggled mummy from Egypt is one of the two main things to see there.
(1) This is by far the best class on Paleontology I've seen on KZread. Thank you! (2) I had the opportunity of visiting the Iguanodon fossils in the Brussels Museum. What a sight! I could stay hours just looking at those giants! Even though I understand the necessity and value of displaying casts in place of actual fossilized dinosaur remains, these cause a deeper psychological effect in me. Man, I'm really looking at what once was an actual, living dinosaur from millions of years ago! Again, it was a remarkable experience.
As someone who works a bit with both source criticism and dissemination of science this video really impressed me. Super complex and narrow concepts and ideas really come to life in a way that is interesting to people who aren't biologists or paleontologists. Kudos for this.
Well, it gets even weirder, because something like this happened more than once with the same kinds of animals. We have a mass deposit of Iguanodon and Mantellisaurus here in Germany as well. It contained around 15 individuals according to Norman's paper. Actually it seems that the sediment containing them also sank into a karst fissure. The similarities don't end there, because all bones are pyritized. It's all very very weird...
I'm a simple person. I see Iguanodon, I click.
When I was studying at Cambridge in the early ‘90’s I had a friend on a similar course to mine whose name just happened to be David Norman and who kept getting letters from children about dinosaurs in his pidgin hole as they were addressed to David Norman, Cambridge University as far as I am aware they were all forwarded correctly.

13:30 I just wanted to point out that some birds like the Friarbirds (genus Philemon) for example the Noisy Friarbird (Philemon corniculatus) do have cheek-like soft tissue at the base of their bills although I can't find any research on what kind of selection pressure gave them those weird cheeks nor do I know if there are osteological correlates on Philemon corniculatus' skull.

Iguanadon was one of my favorite dinosaurs as a kid, and I had the upright, spike-thumbed version fixed in my head, so I was surprised to see you criticize it, and then fell in love with the whole story of how we came to better understand iguanadon, and it's still one of my favorites, just in a different way.
I have been waiting for ages to see this and loved every last second of it! Thank you for all your excellent work and for taking your time to make this happen!

This episode is less "your toy is inaccurate" and more "your toy is a springboard for launching a conversation about the formation of paleontology as told from the perspective of THE OG dinosaur", won't catch me complaining tho XD
Wow, you two absolutely crushed it with this episode.
This is the 1st episode of YDAW I've come across and it's AMAZING! The quality of the science, the animations, the illustrations and the presentation of the material are all just brilliant. Well done.
Would not another possibility as to why the site has so many iguanodons be this: ? Perhaps the swamp-lake was too deep for most non-swimming animals to traverse (including juvenile iguanodons), but just the right depth for adult iguanodons to walk through. But then there are sudden changes of depth at the sinkholes, and these large, non-swimming animals die? The borders of this lake might be sloped such that smaller animals pick up that it's getting too deep for them and thus never venture out to the areas with the more sudden changes in depth. But maybe that's crazy. It seems that most contemporary, terrestrial herbivores can swim when they need too.
I found your show randomly recently and I love it! I REALLY appreciate all the detail and research and the explanations of the bones you do! Keep it up!
The one thing I noticed growing up is that there was never a single consistent depiction of Iguanodon and it bothered the hell out of my OCD.
Huzzah! Your work is always the best. I knew you were going to bring up Sternberg's Mummy Edmontosaurus. I'd love an episode on Edmontosaurus itself, but what I want most is an episode on a Plesiosaur.
Been waiting for this for so long! Thank you for all the content, folks! Already excited for the next video 🎉
The episode I’ve been waiting for since it was often out in the credits of old videos!
This really is incredible content. I'm so amazed at the level of work and research that goes into every episode.
My amateur intuition of a thumb-spike is that it seems pretty multi use: - intraspecific competition - defense against predators - rooting in ground for tubers maybe? - could defo be for breaking into woody materials

This super-episode was amazing! I enjoy YDAW so much everytime. Thanks for this one! ^^
This is one of the best channels on KZread. All the details that you cover it's something nobody else on KZread is doing. I just came across your channel recently, and I am absolutely fascinated with the detailed work that you do. I have learned so much! Thank you for doing what you do !!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
17:46 so your telling me no one has taken the opportunity to officially have a T-rex on their coat of arms?
The animations in these videos are always insane and so helpful. Thank you!
All I can say is that this dinosaur is a heckin’ chonker.
God I love this channel so much. Definitely becoming a patron when I can afford to. So stoked to finally get the Iguanadon episode and it was even more interesting than I expected. Can't wait for the next. Also, "talk dumb, get the thumb" needs to be on some merch asap lol
I love the unedited pauses and the speaker's pace in this show. It makes it much easier for me to digest the information without the constant, back to back rapid fire information thats been edited together without natural breaks.
43:12 In the middle of the 21st century you say...? He's a time traveller I tell you! That's how he knows so many details about dinosaurs!

Finally! Iguanodon is such a classic. Thank you.
Very excited to unveil our interview next month. Excellent work, as always.
This video came out of nowhere on my recommended n I dont regret clicking on it. Hella informative awesome job homie 👌
Love these videos! One of my biggest pet peaves on KZread is the endless jump cuts and over editing. I respect that you do these in continuous shots. Sometimes you pause for a while, but I like that, you're actually thinking about what you're saying :)
oh my god an hour of YDAW
At 11:26, does this mean the left and right part of the lower jaws moved independently of each other, or am I just reading the graphics all wrong?

I wrote a paper on this. The way they moved was by way of moving the mandible up towards the Maxilla, and when in contact 2 specific bones in the upper skull moved independently. I'll link a video that shows this. Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIeml8usZ5DdlM4.html
