The reason for the take down and re-upload was that my whole intro narration was wrong. Ever since I was a kid Komodo dragons were used as an example of island gigantism, so when I wrote the narration I based it around that hypothesis for Komodo's takeover of the apex predator niche on those islands. I sorta knew I should have checked to see if there was any new science on their phylogeny or fossil record, but I had so much other stuff to do, and had already done so much research for this exhibit that I stupidly thought I for sure knew what was up. As soon as I uploaded the video I got several comments alerting me to new science that shows that Komodo dragons were once much wider spread, and may have actually achieved their large size & top predator status in Australia. The paper is well written and the evidence is compelling, and I don't want to be spreading old science, so I took down the video, altered the intro narration and re-uploaded it. You can read the paper on the new Komodo science here (open access!): www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2748693/

I've always had a problem with calling Mossasaurs as varanoids and viceversa same as Dinosaurs and birds. Something so unquantifiably important for its ecosystem for that many millions of years should be its own thing, otherwise I'd argue there's no point in calling mammals other than as reptiles since we descend directly from them yet scientists chose to make that distinction as it that was any different. In fact we chose to name our entire genus "Homo" solely on the basis that we change our own envirnoment. Would I be a horrible person if I said this video sort of helped me reaffirm my bias even further?

Dude, I think you have a second career in the making of writing and narrating documentaries. That was awesome.

Beautiful artwork. I’m an artist who works primarily in watercolor, and I know how difficult and unforgiving the medium is. Much respect.

Mosasaurus hoffmani was actually more heavily built than tylosaurus but it's jaws were not as flexible. Tylosaurus was similar to komodo dragons in the sense they could open their jaws really wide. Their skin texture was very similar to a modern day monitor lizard. Great video 👍

hold up, you sir are a genius, my biggest issue with painting reptiles and prehistoric dinosaurs was the scales. What you did with the brush when working on your painting absolutely blew my mind and I can't believe I didn't consider doing something similar to make doing scales 100x easier. THANK YOU for this glimpse into your techniques.

Damn, dude. I've been following your work for YEARS and it keeps getting better with time.

Has the Xiphactinus specimen that was supposedly bitten in half by a large Mosasaur been described?

WOW your artwork is so beautifully detailed. Thank you for the tip with the 3 paintbrushes strapped together. Your presentation skills are also really good I totally enjoyed this video and sat gobsmacked at your incredible creations.

I came across this randomly, and I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary and your narrating. It is rare that I watch a whole KZread clip of this length from start to finish without interruption. Well done!

Dude, great video you made here, and I absolutely love the finished artwork you showed. Gonna have a look at your site next! Mosasaurus was named after the local river, and I actually live in a small town right on the Maas river in the south of the Netherlands, only a few miles away from where Mosasaurus was first discovered. But anyway, I wanted to say you have some cool content here on YT, and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Peace!

Damn bro you got TALENT!

I always have my ammonite fossils next to me when I watch your videos.

Nice to see a new vid about all this art you've been producing. I saw it being uploaded a while ago, but didn't get around to watch it at that time. Looks like a lot of artworks! They all look stunning of course, but that scene with the school of squid definitely gets on top. Too bad there's the Atlantic Ocean preventing me to visit the exhibit.

Are they looking for places out of state or is it confined to that area? I'd love to see this, and would be willing to petition my local museum of science to host in Central New York!

i love how the first mosasaur fossils were found in western europe, aka where myths of sea serpents are probably most renowned, (both mosasaurs and sea serpent myth are worldwide). I like to think that one day some random farmers found the bones of a long dead sea lizard in a cliff, and took them home, maybe to the church or temple depending on the time and created a story about long dead monsters, that were probably even more ferocious than they realized. The idea that the monsters of legends and myth are based off of real creatures is something i find really amazing, these things have may have been capturing our imagination and curiosity for millenia

This is amazing Also you have trailer voice

I would want to point out that the placement of Mosasaurs within Squamata is actually rather unclear. They have been interpreted as either closely related to monitor lizards, closely related to snakes or more basal than either.

That skull is terrifying

SO incredible!

I wish I say this at museum,because I would just faith at the sight of seeing this beautiful artwork,thay you did.

By 03:00, this video has twice shown a Varanus Niloticus while the caption reads Varanus Salvatore. Nevertheless, thanks for showing various monitors; I've never seen a Varanus Mertensi before.

You don’t need to have any music. It detracts from an otherwise excellent piece of work. Thanks.

Lieldienas un Līgo svētki es piedalos!

It’s strange to think that the mosasaurus fin was partly its tail as oppose to the tail developing cartilage on both the top and bottom… evolution is funky sometimes.
