Love the narrator's voice!! Perfect for falling asleep to.😊

The California Condor is making quite a comeback due to human created breeding programs. While still endangered they are actually in a slow recovery process. So far, a major, but far from incomplete, success.

I must question the aerodynamics of carrying its heavy skull and huge beak outstretched in flight, that just wouldnt work, with no back end much, it would be diving down with that posture. More likely, like the pelican with its huge beak, it flew with its neck snaked back and tucked into its shoulders, except for if it was seizing prey.Just my opinion. Hopefully more fossils will be found to clarify this.

Quetzalcoatlus, a flying reptile.

This is Gonna be a great watch :) keep up the great work.

I love looking at the amazing art recreations of the dinosaurs. You should only show the animals and not humans. Your voice is great.

Fascinating. Quetzalcoatlus would have been an amazing sight to see in the air. Thank you for featuring this amazing pterosaur.

That megafinger just blows my mind. How beautiful and horrifying it would be to see such a majestic creature. Amazing nature never managed to produce another flying reptile after all this time.

Great video! Love the long-form documentary style. And a perfect subject. Giant Azhdarchids are definitely in my top 3 for prehistoric animals i'd want to see.

Should one of these hungry behemoths even bother eyeballing a puny human, just like you've seen birds and lizards do, the animal would snatch you up alike the Robin's breakfast-earthworm and effortless swallow you whole.

Fantastic video as always

Love the video, but I think I prefer no music every thing else 👍

Northropi was named after the aircraft designer Jack Northrop, in case you're wondering (he had a thing about tailess aircraft, but they didn't work so well until they had computers to give them artificial stability).

It's interesting (for want of a better word) that you mentioned Jurassic World Evolution 2, because I listen to your content while playing it. I love your content, it always makes my day hearing about dinosaurs!

For a flying animal the size of a giraffe 🦒 being 250 miles from the sea is like a stork making a nest on the side of a lake just a few flaps of its 11 meter wings

Their home range would have been, the whole world.

Awesome video

Wow 5 minutes in and all that's been said is that it is huge. Come on!

There is massive inconsistency in the neck length and neck girth in the pictures that accompany this narrative. One should be quite sceptical about the giraffe-length necks depicted, especially where of much more slender girth. Giraffes swallow only chewed leaves and fruit. These massive flying carnivores would have been limited to pretty small prey items if they weren't to choke or suffocate themselves.

Interesting the dubious logic scientist use to say the animal with the longest wingspan ever couldn't fly! They must be the same scientists who determined with all their software and expertise that bees can't fly either!

They have a life size replica at the field museum in Chicago. It is pretty humbling to stand underneath it.

Ignore the troll/hate comments. Great video as ever 😊

Who knows? Maybe another specimen or species can show up in the fossil record!!

Hatzegopteryx was the largest thing to fly. Quetzalcoatlus was 2nd.

"Not a piscivor, therefore it must have eaten carrion" Where is the reasoning behind such a statement? I don't like fish, but neither do I like carrion. I eat many other things. Sometimes I think some people lack brains.

Natrator budget was low I guess

00:12 just wanted to point out a little “detail”, but it’s not a big deal-I’m just ocd… you say “over the heads of the titanosaurs flew the titanosaur equivalent of a pterosaur,” but it should be the other way around. To say there was a “titanosaur equivalent of a pterosaur” implies that there is a winged, airborne titanosaur, if you think about it. Lol. It sounds more logical to say it like, “…flying above the titanosaurs, there was the _pterosaur_ equivalent of a _titanosaur_ ...”, because you’re saying there was the flying version of something big on the ground, right? That the titanosaurs had a giant counterpart in the sky. So… yeah. Lol. Just noticed that. 🤣

the video is great but the music you used for the background is anxiety-inducing

Oh I can't stay awake

Interesting subject but this video is so hard to get through. Narration is so boring with zero inflection. Lots of completely unrelated cut scenes makes me thing this is all just geared to get a few extra minutes of play time.

Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs, so they are, therefore, not birds.

Sorry but I do not agree with your assessment of the Azhdarchids flight. Not only were they good flyers but routinely migrated across oceans.

imagine a bird big enough you could ride on

Flightless. First flightless at 5-6 feet tall, then gigantic, odd proportions, as in giant flightless birds. Wings could still produce thrust, so Q would have been speedy on the ground. And frantically flapping wings keep predators away. Google: “Why we think giant pterosaurs could fly” (…NOT!)" for details. Unfortunately Dr Habib was new to paleontology when he first came up with the quad-launch method and he cheated pterosaur morphology to achieve his poorly conceived hypothesis. This is also covered in the above blogpost link.

Quetzalcoatlus did not weigh all that much, it is likely they would've taken off by first-off curling up into a crouch-like position, then leaping upwards, where then they would've flied, however its believed they couldn't fly for long, like all pterosaurs, they had hollow bones, which allowed their body to be light-enough to fly.

AI voiceover. Just as in any video you can hear some word weirdly pronounced, its AI. Not 20.000 new narrators with speech impediments.. You send in a script, pay, and get your script narrated. I can not fathom how people dont understand that🤦🏻. If a channel has a high number of followers but the narrative AI voice sucks, it means that the creator of that channel is to cheap to pay more for a AI voiceover.

Unless English isn't a native language to the creators, I can think of no reason why they'd use AI narration. I watch lots of content in English where the creator isn't a native English speaker. In most every case, I have no difficulty understanding even heavily accented English

Do yourselves a favor and get hold of the BBC 6 parter, actually called Walking With Dinosaurs. Way more informative by Attenborough without being padded with stock footage of irrelevence. Plus the added attraction of the narrator not deciding half way through to weirdly emulate Jeff Goldblum.

The hard part of understanding any of it is time spans. We never consider the unthinkable amounts of time. Time to evolve into super size creatures. Its hard to imagine time never ending it looks like infinity.

Change the damn AI voice you're using. Stupidly monotonous...

I am a geologist (University of Heidelberg diploma in 1990) and still pretty deep into palaeontology. I doubt, as in the meantime a lot of my palaeontology collegues, that the Azhdarcids were able to fly at all, at least, not in the way that is shown in documentaries. The wing membrane of pterosaurs is cut like a glider wing, maybe that is the way the first pterosaurs flew, which allowed them to go for flight insects. The weight balance of the Azhdarchidae surely is out of balance with that elongated neck, this huge beak and a head crest. Personally I think, this is a remanent feature from the short neck pterosaurs and the Azhdarchidae lost flight over time, as they learned to gain their food by hunting or scavenging on the ground, not to forget intimidating other predetars and stealing their prey. If nature has shown us something, that is that the fossil record does not always match with the expectations. One of the best exemples were the "Oviraptors"... and look at an elephant skull... without knowing, that it has this muscular tube we call a trunk, you would paint the animal with a big center hole in its head. So, please be cautious with "the largest flying animal ever"... maybe in the future, some collegue of mine will use the bone mass and the muscular mass and construct the center of gravity for the Azhdarchidae. One general question: how with this wing should they be able to have a propelled flight !? You need uplift as long as a forward propelling movement and this simultaneously. And, as for the uplift, they did not even have aymmetric feathers... and all the mammals with flight membranes spread this over all the fingers of their hands.

@scottwells8064

8 ай бұрын

Why would they keep their wing membranes then? What purpose would they serve? You'd think that, over time, natural selection would favor those with reduced wings, since the energy required to grow and maintain/repair such a large wingspan had to be pretty intensive.
