I frequently ask people what is their favorite dinosaur, and I frequently get answers of animals that aren't dinosaurs at all. But sometimes they tell me that their favorite "dinosaurs" are animals that aren't even close to being dinosaurs! What's your favorite dinosaur? Is it one of these?

Basilosaurus has a rather funny reason why it has such a name (meaning "King Lizard"). Because when it was found, they thought it was some kind of massive reptile. So it was labelled as such. But due to the rules of taxonomy, when it was later found to be a mammal instead...the name had to stick. If you screw up with naming an animal, your shame is permanent. Also surprised Dimetrodon didn't pop up. A lot of people label it as a dinosaur or lump it in with them or even depict them together. But Dimetrodon lived millions of years before dinosaurs, and was a basal mammal, splitting off from reptiles long before dinosaurs arrived.

A common error that plagues many reconstructions of Megalodon is that's depicted as basically just a bigger great white shark. This is because we used to think they were closely related, but more recent studies recover Megalodon as a member of the genus Otodus, which are lamniformes, but belong to their own family, otodontidae. Anatomically, Megalodon differed from the great white shark in having a more slender, elongated build and proportionately larger caudal and pectoral fins.

@Serucipe 5 месяцев назад

All we have is teeth, man. It could have looked like anything.

@justusb.plorer8773 5 месяцев назад

@@Serucipe You make two claims in this comment, both of which are wrong. While we don't have a complete skeleton for megalodon, we do have some vertrbrae in addition to the numerous teeth. Second, it could not have looked like anything, due to the requirements for macropredation and the constraints of hydrodynamics. We might not be sure about all of the details, but we have good understanding of the big picture.

@Erlik0_89 5 месяцев назад

When you think about it, it makes sense tho. When people think of a big shark, they think of the biggest shark they know of (which is usually the great white). They then just upscale it because they think that both sharks serve the same niches.

@amaureaLua 6 месяцев назад

I think the frequency with which Clint uses the term "non-avian dinosaur" is a great demonstration of the *usefulness* of paraphyletic groups, despite his aversion to them. Sure, phyla are the most well-motivated in general, but exceptional sub-groups exist, and it's useful to have terms both for them and the rest. For example, as demonstrated by Clint himself, it's very useful to be able to talk about the non-avian dinosaurs. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue though. I wish we had a proper name for them.

@aneasteregg8171 4 месяца назад

We do. It's "Dinosaurs". Anyone who goes off about birds technically being dinosaurs is just an annoying pedant.

@Hytheter 4 месяца назад

@@aneasteregg8171 Agreed. Saying "non-avian dinosaurs" is like saying "non-tetrapod bony fish". Everyone knows what you mean without specifying as such. It makes much more sense to specify when you're including them (eg "dinosaurs, including birds") than the other way around.

@isaacbruner65 Месяц назад

It's also kind of odd to talk about the extinction of the "non-avian" dinosaurs because most avialan dinosaurs and mesozoic birds also went extinct. So it's the extinction of the "non-avian and most avian" dinosaurs. Doesn't really roll off the tongue. I'm honestly not sure how they classify what dinosaurs are avian. Avialans or members of Aves? No matter how you slice it, most avian dinosaurs did go extinct.

One small correction: Deinosuchus only holds the title of largest crocodilian because it has better fossil remains (ironically, since it lived in the Mesozoic and not the Cenozoic, like the other contender), but it has SERIOUS competition from the Miocene cayman, Purrusaurus, which is only known from skull remains, but some paleontologists place it at a size of 12 m long, so quite possibly even bigger than Deinosuchus. BTW, my favorite dinosaur is Dakotaraptor.

@@trevorle7382 the game bases many of the dinosaur models off actual species, but deviates and puts it's own spin on them. For example, the spinosaurus received a TLC update many years ago to reflect it's new body form, but was never updated to change the tail. Jerboas are real, extant animals, but the one in game looks nothing like real life (it's even cuter imo), but the carno is pretty spot on. To explain these changes, the dino dossier lists them as different made-up sub species. This gets more egregious with other dinos. The dilophosaur is modeled off the Jurassic Park version, and has nothing to do with the real life counterpart aside from the head crests. Lore-wise, this is justified through explaining that the dinosaurs are genetically engineered from scratch, and they are doing so hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. The dino dossiers we get in game are written by one of the game's major lore characters, and they are usually accurate to real gameplay but sometimes things got patched and the dossier was never updated to reflect the changes.

Glad to hear the correction about Sarcosuchus! The only thing I would note is that you say Sarcosuchus is not a crocodilian but a pseudosuchian, as if they are two separate groups. Rather ironically, true crocodilians are part of pseudosuchia ("false crocodiles") so Deinosuchus is both a pseudosuchian _and_ a crocodilian, whilst Sarcosuchus is a pseudosuchian that sits outside of crocodylia (specifically a tethysuchian that sits in either pholidosauridae or elosuchidae, depending on the phylogeny you use). Oh, and one slight correction is that Deinosuchus wasn't in Alligatoridae itself, it was a basal alligatoroid which means it was closer related to alligators than any other living crocodilians, but wasn't actually part of that group!

Fun trivia: the last woolly mammoths, living on islands, lived until the same time period that Egypt and Sumer were coming into power, and when cuneiform first arose. Meanwhile, the aurochs, the wild cattle that most domestics are descended from, survived until the 1600s, around the same time that electricity developed as a technology.

Ceratopsians are my favorite family of dinosaurs, but I can’t choose one amongst the family to be my top dino. I just love all the horn/frill patterns and recreations of them. If I had to choose a singular dinosaur to put above all others, I would probably, very hesitantly, say parasaurolophus. Their massive hollow crests and ability to be both quadrupedal and bipedal is pretty cool. I’ve always imagined that, come breeding season, they acted a lot like elk, with the males trumpeting as loudly and as long as possible in order to win over their own harem of females.

When I was a child, Dimetrodon was usually included in books about dinosaurs and in packs of toy dinosaurs, so for quite a number of years, I thought of her as my favorite dinosaur, but sadly that cannot be, as I learned later. So, for many years now, my favorite dinosaur has been the Triceratops. Why? Because I had a terrifying dream about a family of albino Triceratops(es?) in which I learned more about them than I had ever known before from books. When I started fact-checking my dream, I discovered that everything I experienced in the dream-world was probably accurate. Now, having "met" them, I can say with confidence that Triceratops is not only my favorite dinosaur, but also that were one of the full-grown bull Triceratops(es?) to actually get into a scrap with a T-Rex, my money would be on the Triceratops to win, every time! The largest of the creatures I met in my dream was not only much bigger than an elephant, it was also insanely territorial and violent! They may have been herbivores, but those Triceratops creatures were extremely aggressive! I think that any wise T-Rex would have stayed well out of their way. Apologies for the oversharing!

I feel like the average use of dinosaur is anything that existed long enough to have a fossil of +dodo. What's your favorite fossilized species just doesn't have the same ring to it. My favorite crocodilian is simosuchus. The most adorable squish ever. 😍 A dinosaur that's always fascinated me was Oviraptor. At first they thought it stole eggs, then they relised it was a great mother, unlike most dinosaurs who pooped some eggs and wandered off.

My favorite extinct dinosaur is Archaeopteryx. My favorite extant dinosaurs are vultures - especially the New World vultures and condors (Cathartidae). But their Old World cousins through convergent evolution (Accipitridae) are awfully spiffy, too. Unfortunately, over half of vulture species around the world are seriously threatened. Yes, partly due to the usual anthropogenic causes, but they're especially at risk from intentional and accidental poisoning. Life on a human-dominated planet is hard when you're a scavenger and not especially charismatic.

Just upsetting that the movie may be people's first introduction to that dinosaur.

@markcobuzzi826 6 месяцев назад

For the most part, I didn’t mind the Therizinosaurus’ design in Jurassic World: Dominion. The Jurassic Park franchise is already known for taking some liberties with certain dinosaurs, most notoriously the Dilophosaurus. Plus, seeing how JWD’s Therizinosaurus has a lot of feathering for a theropod in that franchise and delivered a suspenseful scene, which was one of the few almost universally-liked scenes in that movie, I think it is at least a step in the right direction for feathered and/or herbivorous dinosaurs in pop-culture. The only small changes I would personally make to JWD’s fictionalized portrayal are giving it a slightly more upright posture and showing it with all four toes on the ground.
