@duanesamuelson2256 11 месяцев назад

If i caught what you said correctly about the jaws not able to move side to side the probability of having multiple stomachs like cows is slim. Cows spit up from their 1st stomach and rechew it/grind it (chewing cud is a side to side motion). Multiple animals today eat very low nutrient diets with one stomach... elephants, pandas, giraffes, and sloths, all with one stomach. Something to consider is they would eat bones as well as the occasional small animal as cow's horses deer tortoises, etc, do today. The growth rates ,to me, would indicate they required additional minerals. If you went back in time it wouldn't necessarily be just the predators which might eat you.

@warpeace8891 Год назад

Great question/idea by the young man about pack animals may only die one at a time for a range of reasons. It had not occurred to me before but I have seen many examples of a lone bovine skull in a field but never a group. Bovines are invariably pack animals. The reverse may also be true.... In tar pits, animals have been found in large numbers suggesting that they were social or pack animals but maybe some were only stuck in tar one at a time.

I love your “Evolution Of” videos. I know you don’t have too many of them but I could listen to you talk about the Evolution of Mosasaurus or Carcardontasaurus and the dinosaur debates, the relatives, teeth, the adventures you go on. It’s really good! Yeah these videos are long but they really do need to be long, it makes it better in my opinion because it does the topic Justice. Just letting you know I really like these videos.

@lavarclemmons1920 Год назад

My most interesting thing about the triceratop is from what I understand they kind of fed on other animals when they were hungry or when their food supplies were slow I wonder if that's true or not maybe that explains why they had heartbeat and rows of teeth

Many herbivores such as horses have been known to eat small animals when they have the opportunity. I wouldn't doubt it. They definitely were able to physically.

Question about the triceratops. One study seems to suggest that fully grown triceratops was a solitary animal that preferred to live on its own were as the other study states that triceratops was a highly social animal that lived in large herds. With all the new information ,in your professional opinion was triceratops a loner or herd animal.

@hobart0011 Год назад

I still lean towards solo trike tife style. I'm sure, like many solo animals today, there were animals that bonded and stuck together to survive better. Like brothers that never separated when they matured. Thanks for the comment!

@Rune_Scholar 2 года назад

No, he is not an actual palaeontologist. He made several elementary mistakes in this presentation, such as getting Pachycephalosaurus and Dracorex confused and claiming that it was thought that Pachycephalosaurus was the juvenile form of Dracorex-it was the other way around with Stygimoloch being a middle growth stage-and claiming that this has been disproven when it has not. He needs to study the ontology and the malleability of Marginocephalia headgear. Likewise, he claims that we have Torosaurus juveniles, which to my knowledge, we do not. Sorry for how "spicy" this initially sounded.

@jstewartproulx2179 10 месяцев назад

Probably a really dumb comment / question here... So t-rex had tiny arms and I assume other dinosaurs did too... Is it possible they were selected that way over time because their prey had nasty powerful beaks that could literally dismember them?

@hobart0011 10 месяцев назад

This would make a lot of sense. Sue the rex had an arm ripped off and healed. Could be because of each other ripping them off. Great comment thanks

@cacogenicist 7 месяцев назад

Very unlikely. Most likely smaller arms were initially selected for, for issues of balance -- heads get bigger, arms get smaller, or rather, smaller arms enable a bigger head. A bigger head was more useful than those arms, for a biped like _T. rex_ that needed crushing power. And then at some point the arms are pretty useless, and so it's possible for _even smaller_ arms to not be selected _against,_ and so they could get even smaller. Had the asteroid not struck, perhaps the arms would have ended up like the vestigial limb nubs on a boa constrictor. It's also _possible_ that those tiny arms continued to have some sort of function -- who knows, they might have flapped them like crazy to impress mates. Maybe the arms were even brightly colored.

@matthewbadger8685 3 месяца назад

@@cacogenicist the arms on trex are extremely thick-boned, robust, and muscular, so it probably had a purpose for them. I imagine that tiny manipulating clawed nubs on the torso would've been useful during mating and whilst struggling with prey, sort of as a means to increase friction.

@TITANSofTheEARTH 8 месяцев назад

I watched some of your lectures - very nice and interresting. At the Q&A i find some answers a bit short for a pro. When Triceratops has such a humongos nose system , he probably smells great!? And like 99% of herbivores if one sens is great the others lack. Instead his opponent carnivore T.rex seemed to have great smell and even greater eye sight. Or not? Then their teeth an growth. Sauropos have compared to ceratopsians simple teeth but the also had batteries of them growing new every 30 days...what is also impressive. Then they have ripped the plants of without chewing...no time for it^^ So they where probably hindgut fermenters. One key to their massive size. Ceratopsians with their massive teeth and jaw muscles ...probably foregut fermenters? For comparison for living animals ceratopsians and elephants have massive heads and chewing muscles. Elephants have one stomache but with several parts. Elephants are also hindgut fermenters. Massive amouts of low energy food per day. So Triceratops and especially sauropods (with their tiny heads) must have had some more effective digestion system... otherwise the day has not enough hours to eat enough.

Dracorex was a juvenile pachycephalosaurus

@hobart0011 2 месяца назад

I added this info just before I gave the presentation. It was flawed.

@Rune_Scholar 2 года назад

I think you got that backwards. Dracorex was thought to be a juvenile Pachycephalosaurus, and still is thought to be, specifically because we don't find juvenile Pachys. Such a glaring inaccuracy really undermines your presentation. Stygimoiloch, the next stage up from Dracorex, with more of a dome and receded spikes, then you have Pachycephalosaurus with a dome and very small spikes. Also, no, no juvenile Torosaurus have been found. That would have been a huge announcement. And yeah, I checked. I'm not saying that Triceratops and Torosaurus are synonymous, but if they are not, it wasn't confirmed by the presence of juveniles. Where are you getting this?

@TimPiatek 7 месяцев назад

Do we in fact have well-sexed examples of Triceratops and Ceratosaurus, or Dracorex and Pachycephalosaurus? Is there a non-zero possibility that the two pairs of examples are in fact examples of sexual dimorphism? For example, has medullary tissue ever been inferred in these animals? Other evidence of sex?

@robbie_ 2 месяца назад

I don't understand how volcanoes cause a "greenhouse effect". They release a lot of sulphuous gases, the haze from which reduces solar insolation. It is at least neutral in terms of temperature. This is just the paradigm of the month I guess. A "theory of everything" for climate. Other facts are probably more important.
