I once listened to a lecture on trilobites and in the questions, a kid asked the speaker if she thought trilobites would have tasted good. She got this look of absolute glee on her face and replied that she'd thought about this question extensively and she believed the answer lay in phylogenetic bracketing. Her conclusion was that trilobites themselves would probably have been pretty bland but their eggs might have made good caviar.

@dino-gen 11 дней назад

Really? That's interesting, I don't know as much about trilobites so that's cool to know :)

With as lush and overgrown as many of these areas were, it makes sense that very large animals would need to use the waterways as a type of road system, as densely packed forests would make much of the overland areas impassible. The large, flat feet would also help in this regard to gain a better purchase on the wet, muddy riverbeds. This would also explain the high level of preservation, if the animal lived much of its life in or crossing shallow water, there is a much better chance for it to end up in shallow, muddy water when it died to be more quickly covered.

@ricopaulson1 11 дней назад

Sauropod brisket sounds great. The brisket cut is the side muscle down through the chest. An active muscle group that's filled with a lot of intramuscular fat. Basically very tough meat with plenty of fat in between. Ideal for low and slow cooking. I don't think its too far fetched to say that muscle group would not resemble a cows. And consisting of a plant based diet would not make the meat taste too terrible, like a carnivores. Example, bear meat is supposedly not very good due to its diet of meat and scavenging etc. The only downside would be the size of that cut of meat. You'd burn the outside before getting the eternal temp close enough to 202f-205f where the collogen breaks down in the muscle proteins, creating tenderness. A brisket cut would be the size of a car potentially. So cool. And tasty.

@jimparsons6803 3 дня назад

Heard once that these critters, while living way back when, reached their respective full adult sizes between 15 and 20 years of age. I think that having such a size might help with fending off large predators. But what were these herbivores eating to make their sizes happen just that way. Makes the whale of our times look like pikers.

Would dinosaurs actually be able to survive in the modern era? I mean, oxygen levels and temperature have changed over the times and I don't know if dinosaurs could get used to this.

The oxygen level was more or less the same as today. They would adapt just fine, especially because they have a much more efficient respiratory system than mammals.

@KingofKran 12 дней назад

Always been an interesting topic: Why so many massive dinosaur species in South America, especially in the Cretaceous. Thank you for addressing this. One speculation is that because of the large inland sea in North America, most Sauropods migrated south. I think the Titanosaurs required a vast expanse of land to thrive, and it was easier to come by in the southern hemisphere

"Dreadnoughtus" eh? So... was Kenneth a fan of naval history or was he a fan of Warhammer? 🤣 When scientists get to name things, history and fiction seem to be equally likely sources of inspiration lol, and he did make a Star Wars comparison too.

@Not-Ap 12 дней назад

Weird question at the end... if a extinct animal like a dinosaur were to be brought back the last thing I wanna do is see what taste like.... anyway... Interesting video... South America was home to many giants, both during the age of the dinosaurs, and long long after. Why this is, is I think a more interesting question, since it's consistentantly produced alotta weird critters over the course of it's history. The titanosaurs being just one in the weird menagerie of creatures it's produced. Also... did you Spinosaurids... in South America???! I'd like hear more about that personally.
