I miss documentaries like this. No obnoxious extreme sports announcer-style narrator, overly dramatic music, shaky cam, and michael bay-esque directing like a lot of modern docs. Thanks for the upload!
A guide was escorting and lecturing a group of visitors through a museum. The group came to a huge skeleton of a dinosaur. The guide said, "This dinosaur lived 100 million years ago! Someone in the group said: "100 million and one! I heard you give this same lecture last year.";-)
Yea it was an interesting hypothesis. Present day research suggest that they were in fact not in decline before the KT extinction and even suggest that they were thriving.
Ahhhh..... Plants very smart! They KNEW that Dinosaurs were about to go extinct, so they only adapted to Insects, Mammals and some small Lizards. Sorry Dino! 😳
What I have wondered . The idea that birds evolved from dinosaurs and today birds have the dawn song . Does anybody think that dinosaurs had a dawn song. Or is it just my idea?.
So..humans eat both plants and animals, was that cause mcDonalds, Wendy’s, and all such came out w/ the burger and salad, or was it 400million years of...
Wait a second areas that are now further north Cold and icy were not in that position when dinosaurs roamed. So I believe I heard the areas that are now much colder or much warmer millions of years ago
If I remember rightly, Flowering plants did not come into being until the mid Cretaceous when the weather changed to cool and wetter seasons and the main area's of land had more open plains of grasses and bushes and less tree's?
Such is life; we continuously increase our understanding of things and make new discoveries that changes what we think/thought we knew. Recent documentaries will most likely suffer from the same in time. And who knows what unimaginable fossils we may soon unearth?
This series is cool, but why did they skip over the Permian period? Was there not enough information back then? Did they just not care enough? I find it rather disappointing.
I saw the previous episode, and though they were interesting they only seemed to cover the Cambrian to the Devonian, and then a later covers the Carboniforous. But I didn't see them go over the Permian.
Probably not why. There was an impact at the end of the dino period, but since it failed to get rid of any other group of animals it's probably not why the dinosaurs went extinct. It's just a logical problem. The more serious you try to make the impact to shore up this theory, the harder it gets for you to explain why animals like sea turtles, birds, reptiles and amphibians survived. And the less serious you make it, the less likely it is to have wiped out the dinosaurs at all. It's definitely a hypothesis with some major flaws.
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 They didn’t survive though; they evolved afterwards. Following the astroid strike, there was a long period where the planet had no sunlight and was barely inhabitable. Many animals that remained still died due to the plants dying from lack of photosynthesis. The smallest animals (mammals) managed to survive, because they needed less food to sustain themselves. The foragers that managed to burrow and keep themselves warm and store their food were the ones that ended up making it out alive in the end.
@@punkgrl325 Long in human terms, not geological terms. Also, crocodiles, turtles. frogs and sharks did not "evolve afterwards". They were already there, already big and survived. Are you denying the existence of turtles now?
And evolution denier once told me where are the middle creatures and somehow he was correct, scientifically we need to prove it right now that one species will completely evolve into another species
There are transitional specimens such as Falcarius - which is a good example of the evolution of Therizinosaurs. There's also the specimens of Pakicetus, Ambulocetus, and Durodon, which show the evolution of whales. That's not even mentioning human ancestors such as Homo habilis or erectus, or even these: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OuqFUdqNYhg.html
this may be helpful (or not) found this while taking honors biology from a teacher who taught mammalian physiology evolution-so def. had to bring my "A" game! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mcvj6yBEfsM.htmlsi=mtW5fAQNeT5mE3tG
idk, I don't think the gravity has varied that much, but the higher concentration of oxygen may have contributed to higher atmospheric pressures(?). Could have limited storms or lessened their severity. We def. have nore nitrogen in our atmosphere now. (don't knock it tho, you go blind without the mix!).
Indeed , seems impossible,.......most sauropod movement is mostly theorising ... Even elephants can't do this movement without support. (like, in a mating position) .
What makes you think that? They died before our primate ancestors even evolved. An asteroid 6 miles wide killed them - both directly and indirectly. A certain group of theropod dinosaurs did survive however, and are the birds we see today.
I really enjoyed this documentary, for a laugh mostly but did have some interesting views to say the least, but it definitely misses the mark in lots of areas! I really like your comment PooorManRC, The plants must have had ESP also back then...My god, there are definitely cartoons now a days more accurate than this documentary! What is amazing is this was most likely shown to students in school and portrayed in some science class as fact back in the 80's/90's...Those kids are all screwed up now as a result and most likely still believe that what is said in this video is true and accurate... SMH!
dinosaurs thrived under normal polarity. when the earth began reversing its magnetic field more frequently and remaining in a reversed field for longer and longer periods the dinosaurs began having trouble reproducing thus causing the end of the dinosaurs.
Yup.....leftwing Hillywood propaganda ....all good christians know , twas all done in just six 24 hour working days ,and written for posterity by men dressed in bedsheets.....Praise Jééésus.....hallellujah....
they were randomly wiped out by an asteroid, same thing that will happen to earth again one day, but surely we will have colonized other planets by then, that's why the human species will survive, but whoever can't afford a ticket on the space shuttle will get a front row seat to an awesome extinction event so no worries. We haven't been around for a fraction of the couple hundred million years or so that the dinos walked the earth, remember that. We've already been to the moon.
