The Fauna of Hateg Island
Hateg Island was a truly fascinating environment on life on earth. A key example of insular dwarfism and the lengths life can go to adapt to their environment, many unique animals called the island home, and many of which were surely some of the most unique animals to have lived during the Mesozoic.

Just found your channel, while I was searching for referenc about the fauna of Hátszeg (= original Hungarian name with a long pronaunced A, and it means means: ''Ridge'' or more precisely: ''Back-Corner''), since I am about to sculpt one or two of the species mentioned in your video. I liked the quality and the ammount of information a lot, nice work. After I follow some Paleontology and Space-Science channels already, I added yours to this list as well! :) The Azdharchid shown at 20:41 is exhibited in the Naturehistorical Museum of Karlsruhe in Germany. Which is an awesome Museum worth visiting. It was the museum I visited most - at least twice a year, because I grew up in Karlsruhe. And works like this Azdharchid inspired me from my early childhood on, to be a scientific sculptor and to work (amongst other things) on reconstructions of extinct animals. Best, Sebastian

About struthiosaurus, actually the spieces name of ostrich is Struthio Camelus which is Latinisation of the Greek στρουθοκάμηλος (strouthocamelos) which means "sparrow camel", so struthiosaurus technically means sparrow lizard.

Fun fact you will find nowhere about the Island's name Hateg is is comes from hungarian Hátszeg on which opposite of romanian it does have a meaning, which means BackNail.
Awesome video!. Maybe you could do a video about the Lourinhã Formation.
It would have been so fascinating to visit these islands back then.
One could theorise, much in the vein of giant trekking birds like albatross, Islands like Hatzeg might have been the site of large Azhdarghid rookeries, or (in the likely case they weren't social beasts) a safe place for such large flying animals to safely raise their young. After breeding they could travel the world with season winds (and seasonal prey) and return for a new breeding period. Sure these flying animals would notice a local absence of large Theropod predators.

Is there proof for just hatched pterosaurs flying, in any species ? Birds of that size do have to learn to fly, even if hatchlings of big birds can walk & swim as soon as they leave the nest. Takes a lot of flaps to do your first flight, especially if you have to learn to launch yourself like scientists think pterosaurs jumpstart their flight. Actually, there is proof that adult Dino's did take care of nests, fossils having been found right next to it. As Hatzego fossils are rare, this will be hard to prove, but aren't their any finds of Ptero fossils near to their young ? Even with little nest care, all turtle style, a predator free island is a very major factor in the survival of birds today, and one can be pretty sure that big flying reptiles would prefer islands to lay eggs, the only land beasts being able to reach far off isles at will. Even more so if Hatzego abandoned nest, as their young would have a much greater chance to take to the sky if there'd be no predator whatsoever around preying to pick up flaplings directly after hatching.
@velocipastor676

@@reuireuiop0 I'm not sure how hatchling pterosaurs took flight, they either started off gliding or they simply were already well developed enough to launch from the ground. No evidence has been found of pterosaurs building nests or having social behaviour, which makes sense since they were rather primitive compared to dinosaurs.

* Hátszeg. (Has meaning, where "Hațeg" is a bastardised verbal mimicry homonym without meaning, same as the province where it is located, Hunyadvár having meaning, whereas "Hunedoara" has none, besides being an approximation that sounds "Romanian," which is itself a lofty bastardisation of the region to make it sound "Roman" - and same as some nearby villages that include Alsószilvás and Felsőszilvás, which again have obvious horticultural meaning, unlike their bastardised Romanian versions, "Silvașu," meaningless.) And, on the subject of pronunciation, Hátszeg is pronounced, approximately, as "Haa[h]-t-seg," with a long "a" ("Say 'AAH!' "). "Hát" meaning "Back" and "szeg" meaning anything from nail to nook or "fringe," so in this case it might be the equivalent of "Backwoods Island." (Only partly joking there, the name literally meaning "Back Nook/ Fringe Island," or an out-of-the-way place.)

Hațeg is a small town in Romania right now , worth visiting if you have the change

A ghost lineage of.... 73 million years.... mad. Europe was amazing in the Cretaceous, often overlooked, but amazing. So many weird and wonderful forms found nowhere else. Like modern Australia or Madagascar. But, you know, with a giant demon stork monster walking around eating things the size of people whole.
A dinosaur with an ameloblastoma? 😢Never thought my job and my interest in dinosaurs would collide, but here we are.
0:01 Perfect island for sustained land based spear fishing. Accessible beaches that quickly give way to rocky terrain, bays with underwater reefs with lots of life, and always at least one that is sheltered from the wind and the waves regardless of the direction and all connected in the middle of the island by a reasonable short cut across land through low passes.
