How Crocodiles Survived The Meteor That Killed All Dinosaurs | Modern Dinosaurs 

That sounds so science that i don't even need to look it up

@@azteco When one encounters a truth this profound reaseach is simply unessisary.

​@@GrimgoreIronhide please teach me your ways sensei🙌😭

@@ragnarlodbrok1233 Listen and learn. The charlatan who made this video would have you believe that dinosaurs were some kind of seperate species of animal from long ago. In reality what we call dinosaurs were in fact just regular pet lizards for giants. This is why giants are enemies of humanity in the legends, when their pet lizards all died they had no source of joy left in their lives and became envious of humanity who still had geckos and iguanas ect to keep as pets.

I searched up how dinosaurs originated, in short terms they were just small lizards back then but because of the habitat, resources, food, diet, they evolved into really large animals, not just dinosaurs but even just regular animals but like 10-50x bigger. For example the megaladon was really just a huge huge shark, titanaboa was a really large snake, the pterodactyl was a really large bird

same thought

Thanks for saving my time 🙏🏻

Yea wtf. Basically they said metabolism, what a waste of 10 min

i know right. imagine if man had been around that long. we would either be super advanced, or already destroyed the earth.

@@retrorampage9015man cannot destroy the earth. The earth has outlived countless species, has undergone an age of when there was magma filled oceans, the ice age, and other catastrophic events. The only thing that humanity is capable of doing is either making sure we live on, or cause ourselves to go extinct.

Coelacanths been around for 400 million years and jellyfish been around for possibly 500 million years

​@@Draugluin999yeah but those are smaller organisms its not as shocking as a creature like a crocodile being able to survive all this time.

​@@retrorampage9015 I think we would've been killed off 65 million years ago during the last mass extinction event unless we found a way to deflect/destroy the meteor. In any event it would be a bit of a technological setback lol.

They would've eaten you as a snack if they had the chance

But if they were to survive, human wouldn't even exist in the first place

@@amikoyan42 that would've been wonderful

@@amikoyan42 curious how they would’ve evolved had the meteor never hit.

@@CsySnw”would’ve been wonderful”-🤡🤓

Lol, dinosaurs never existed! It's all B.S.

@@sportsfix6975 what proof do you even have for that

@@gamer546lg5 hmmmm, maybe that the word itself "dinosaur" was created in a fictional book 10 years before the 1st "dinosaur" was "discovered". Pretty odd that the 1st "bones" were found in America, yet nothing ever found in Asia or Europe prior, cmon man, do some research other than Google or RU-vid.

@@sportsfix6975 do some actual research. You're speaking in stuff that does't make sense.

@@sportsfix6975 There have been found bones in Asia and Europe what u talking bout

Keyboard warriors

Scientists know more than the video Creators. An asteroid killed them not a heckin meteor

That’s a myth

I have no real knowledge between Dinosaurs and crocs but this makes the most logical sense.

My first thought was "all they had to do is just keep doing the same thing as always." They are famous for surviving long periods of adversity.

@@vapormissile yeah…plus they’re opportunistic. They’ll play the role of cleanup crew, so OP’s theory makes sense.

@@isitoveryet9525 amen, nothing that lived that long is as dumb as we like to think.

It went like this: Big dinos died Little dinos didn't need as much food, so they didn't die. Also probably a lot of their predators died so they were happy about that. We have record of feathered dinos and ones that could fly. Archaeopteryx for example. Flying around is a great advantage, so without some other catastrophe, they just kept chilling and branching out into different species with different characteristics (driven by selective pressures) over the course of millions and millions of years. Voila! Birds! They kept their dinosaur feet and everything. Some species of birds liked to walk on the ground more, and one species of ape found out they were tasty and could be easily kept around for food. Voila! 🐔!

and maybe rhino saurus!!

@@BenThere_DoneThat I love how you took your time to explain this, so thanks

@@tuleenalzughaibi5277 I was happy to do it! Your appreciation means a lot :)

@@BenThere_DoneThat thank you :))

Happy Easter 🐣

yeah, that's another fault. I presume they checked it out pretty thoroughly before this just not conveying it that well.

You forgot that crocodiles are very social. They help each other when they live in communities (Nile, Muggers, Cuban crocs).

@@Polosatiy_Varan that's interesting, I really didn't appreciate that. I've seen a croc rip off another crocs leg an consider it part of a feeding time.

It wasn't a meteor it was an asteroid numb nuts

The extinction event definitely lasted longer than a year so all over the planet there would have been massive fires caused by rain down from asteroid debris. Plus with all the soot gases... released during the initial impact. Plus an impact of that magnitude would more than likely cause volcanism to increase as it would destabilize the interior of the planet with the forces sent through the crust and mantle. There is research that shows a correlation of age between certain impact craters and big magma upwellings to the surface. Also these things would have taken decades if not century's to recover look at for example Mt Saint Helens and the recovery rate of the trees and other life on the mountain side. These creatures ability's to go for a long time without food would have made it possible in a world which was dying around them to survive off the scraps and little food that they could get maybe every couple months especially after the initial die off

Stop being such a preachy older black man.

Anything older than 65mil years

Crocodiles are not crocodiles they're dinosaurs

There are even crocodile surviving in the middle of the Sahara in little water ponds that remained after the Sahara dried up. Little food there and no sexual partners

They don't necessarily need sunlight but the heat from it. From what I've read, after the metor hit it was alot warmer for maybe 100,000 years. So even if the sunlight was blocked they still had heat from the environment. They can also hibernate.

Crocodiles used to be warm blooded but evolved into coldblooded, they're archeosaurs which is the same bloodline as birds and dinosaurs

Where is the proof of a meteor?

@@250smacks Chicxulub crater en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater

If a reptile is diurnal and needs uvb to metabolize the calcium then yea but crocs and monitors don’t necessarily need uvb

Birds

Chicxulub crater.

No most all dinosaurs turned into ashes since the heat practically burned them alive

No, apparently many sea species died off

The oceans got deprived of oxygen

I agree. You first hopefully

It's called the Covid Vaxx. Oh Myyy I promised not to say anything. Ooops!! 😆😂🤣

“The humans who were dropped off here some 10 thousand years ago”…. Geez people really are crazier than I’ve imagined aren’t they… y’all are just so easily manipulated and convinced of total BS. Keep listening to Alex jones though, I’m sure he’s gonna give you all of his “secrets” and none of his ideofanacies.

Oh the hypocrisy of the environmentalists as they sip their cocoa latte at Starbucks and watch RU-vid videos on electronic equipment that caused heavy pollution to produce and uses electricity from coal burning power plants. Ask them again when they’ve been denied a few meals…

And so uneducated yet so high and mighty. It wasn’t 10 thousand years ago. Try over 300 thousand. “Bones of primitive Homo sapiens first appear 300,000 years ago in Africa”

We weren't around yet. But our ancestors were, tiny early mammals scurrying around, finding ways to survive in the harsh conditions. Over (lots of) time that species branched out into countless others. One of which led to some apes. Which branched out into other hominids. Until we emerged. Think of it like how we turned wolves into chihuahuas and bull mastiffs. Shared ancestry, different outcomes.

The meteor strike was 65 million years ago and modern humans have only been around for 100 thousand years.

@@BenThere_DoneThat We have likely discovered the specific creature that made it across the KT boundary and subsequently gave rise to all primates. Purgatorius was between rat and mouse sized, lived in trees and ate fruit and insects. Being a small generalist insectivore allowed it to survive as it would have fed on the insects that fed on the dead vegetation, until some recovery in the ecosystem was made. It would have sheltered in some cover, like hollow trees, or possibly even in the ground and would have been adapted to some amount of wildfire. It is speculated to have looked and lived like modern tree-shrews, but in a drier habitat.

@@BenThere_DoneThat Looked up and saw it, said "Oh, no" and scurried inside.

@@BenThere_DoneThat when is it going to be a new species of human or animal I don't see how you go from a rat and it turns into a human that shit is made up

Just because you're uneducated about the incredible and cross-verifiable methods used by geologists doesn't mean they're ineffective. Also as a species we "sorted out" COVID in the BLINK OF AN EYE. We're talking about hundreds of millions of years here. Geologic time. Expand your mind.

@ AW Earle Evolution is fact. I was raised Creationist. I used to believe "theory" meant they couldn't prove it. But let me tell you, they've proven it time and time again. In the field, in the fossil record, and verified it again when we discovered DNA. We get a clearer picture with each new leap of science, and not a single fossil layer has been found out of place. To think otherwise, you'd have to believe in an absurdly elaborate cover up, spanning centuries, nationalities, and entire disciplines of study. It's laughable.

@ AW Earle will you take a second to think about how we are even communicating with each other right now? SCIENCE. Electrons and how they behave is fact. Radio waves and how they behave are fact. Satellites in orbit: science and physics. Over the counter pain meds and how they work in your body. Blood types. The DNA in a paternity test. Your pasteurized milk. The chemistry you rely on to drive your car to work. The microbiology involved in purifying the water you drink. You're surrounded by scientific advancement and you live in astounding ignorance of it.

@ AW Earle you're right, man created all those amazing things as we learned about how the laws of the universe work and that we could rely on them to keep working that way. DNA is fact. You and I share some of the same DNA with sea monkeys and even plants. DNA can be sequenced and verified. I'm willing to bet you wouldn't call a paternity test an "opinion" if you needed to be sure of the results. You're all mixed up with your definitions of theory, opinion, and fact. If you'd like to learn about how complex structures can emerge from simple chemistry, grow some rock candy sometime, and look up conway's game of life. As for the origin of the explosion that appears to have set this universe in motion, I don't know and neither do you. We have some people studying that. It involves some of the same SCIENCE that created the atomic bomb and generates power for a good portion of the world. But I'm sure those things are just based on opinion, huh? To be pedantic, yes they start out as theories, but become so well supported by EVIDENCE that they cannot be denied, and inventions can be made around them. As for the topic at hand, geology and paleontology don't have 100% of the answers, but they have way more than any other system of knowledge and have centuries of verifiable EVIDENCE across disciplines to the point that the core claims are undeniably true.

@ AW Earle none of what you say makes hardly any sense. You can live in denial all you want. You just come off as ignorant and egotistic acting as though you understand something nobody else does. You obviously have no background in scientific study of any field. Do you also believe that the world is flat and that the town that you were born is the entirety of the world? Science does not include opinions of any kind. You obviously lack the intelligence to understand this.

No, it was only for us kids growing up back in the 50s. It was science then.

Do 🐊 exist today? ✅ Do fossils of 🐊 exist from millions of years ago? ✅ This means they were here, and they still are here, meaning they did not go extinct. Meaning they survived an extinction event. That part is not theoretical. What follows is a discussion of the advantages that were most likely responsible for this. It's really not that hard, I don't know what you could possibly object to here.

@@BenThere_DoneThat I feel like carbon dating isn’t trustworthy. That’s the only part I would argue. I haven’t even watched the full video yet, but I just hate it when someone says millions of years ago with such certainty. We haven’t even been around for tens of thousands. At least recorded wise.

@@Nonamegoodsir4332The funny thing about scientific measurement is that if you can verify it over and over again using different methods and technologies, it is likely accurate regardless of how you or I "feel". Radio-isotope dating (not just carbon, btw) is a published, peer-reviewed and widely accepted method, but if you come up with a better one that shows beyond reasonable doubt that our dating process needs adjusting, you could win a Nobel prize.

@@Nonamegoodsir4332 There's also a lot of physical evidence of the age of the earth. I used to think anything geological happened because of Noah's flood. Huge cave systems? Grand canyon? Fossilized seashells nowhere near the ocean? All one big flood. But nature doesn't work that way. There are layers and layers of rock we know each took x amount of years to form. We have canyons cut by small rivers over eons. Niagara falls has eroded its way back to where it now stands. We can count tree rings on ancient petrified forests (dendrochronology). We see paths from ancient glaciers. We can even measure the speed of continental drift to calculate how long ago they used to be connected. The earth is extremely old (compared to our species) - we don't know exactly how old, but we have a lot of good evidence to make a very educated estimate.
