It's crazy how the sauropod group containing the biggest animals to ever walk on land (the titanosaurs) also had Magyarosaurus, which was only the size of a cow, and lived at the same time as the other giant titanosaurs like Alamosaurus (right before the big extinction at the end of the Cretaceous). It makes my brain happy thinking of a "mini" sauropod.
It’s also crazy to me how we could’ve had cow size elephants in the modern day if humans hadn’t hunted or exported them to extinction (Mediterranean and Southeast Asian Island elephants).
Love how you got so excited about the fossil at the Natural History Museum and then with a throat clearing your back to the video. It's great to see some personality in your video than just all facts
i liked your comment before i got to that part just because i agreed that its nice to see our youtubers personalities shine in here and there! but i def felt his energy! i had the same when i first went to the denver museum when i was younger than 10. and seeing those replication skeletons in person really makes you feel something. i grew up in phoenix and people always said, "i seen pics of the grand canyon, im good" nah you need to go there at least once in person to truly appreciate it, one of those "pics dont do it justice" things
I felt that little tangent at the end there on a personal level, dinosaurs never cease to ignite that childlike wonder and awe that overwhelms me in the best way
It's also crazy that these beasts, weighing up to 100 tons, about half the size of the largest animal ever to live (today's blue whale), had brains and intelligence about the same as a chicken, sometimes literally, and sometimes in proportion to their body mass.
Alright now onto our first Dinosaur Evolution video centering on Sauropods. Hope you do an evolution on the Theropod dinosaurs, the Ceratopsians, Mosasaurs, Turtles, the Stegosaurus, the Pterosaurs and the Birds.
@@duder7396 I didn’t say that these 3 groups (e.g. Mosasaurs, Pterosaurs, Turtles) are Dinosaurs I just want him to cover them, you didn’t have to sound like a dick.
I sometimes wonder how long it would take for a Argentinosaurus to walk past you.. that sounds weird but just imagine standing there, the earth thundering underneath you as that thing stomps forward. It couldnt have been very fast right
@@realdaggerman105 They may only have been able to move one leg forward at a time though due to their size and weight ...I believe they’ve also found evidence of sometimes multiple dinosaurs and other small animals drowning in mud churned up by sauropod footprints
As a biology student I really love your channel- would love to see more videos on the evolution of extinct animals! There is an near endless supply to choose from. I would suggest gorgonopsids or cephalopods but thats just my bias 😁
When I was a kid, I told my first grade teacher that I had an invisible brontosaurus in my family's barn. I also mentioned that the hay within our barn kept disappearing. I owed that to the bronto munching on the hay bales. I never mentioned to my teacher that local farmers would use our barn to store hay for them to take away anytime they needed it. One of my all-time favorite fictional dinos was the brachiosaur-like radioactive monster in "The Giant Behemoth" (1959). I've loved brachiosaurs ever since. Thanks, Animal Origins, for this very informative video on my favorite dinosaurs.
Your enthusiasm over the massive Patagotitan you saw in the museum was a thing of beauty. It was a really enjoyable video overall, however it was this expression of joy towards something so marvellous that you earned yourself a like and a sub. 🎉 Also!! The memes were good. Mr Crabs doing bench presses are the cherry on the cake. 🎂
i have to say that you’re by far the funniest and most entertaining paleo youtuber. the rest are out here making dumb jokes for toddlers the whole time. you’re just actually funny in a really deadpan way
Sauropods 🦕 are some of my favorite dinosaurs because of how big they are; their size is really something to behold. Also, that’s so cool with that fossil in the museum. Also, big congrats on this being your first dinosaur video.
Over at Dinosaur National Park ( straddles Colorado and Utah ) there is a partially excavated skull of a Camarasaurus. It is almost the size of a Smart Car, which blows your mind knowing that that was the smallest feature on it. Thermopolis, Wyoming has built a two story building to house the juvenile Diplodocus they found there.
I absolutely LOVE the way those impossible names just float off your tongue like music! I've watched Dinosaurs change since my days in grade school, back in the 1950s, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much, but several things remain unchanged, for me: I wonder what they tasted like and, can you imagine the enormous piles of poop where ever those puppies went!? Must have been Heaven for whatever kind of Scarab beetle lived back then, not to mention the Monkey Puzzle trees.
They just recently found out through scanning the neck bone fossils that they may be hollow like bird bones and stacked in such a way like puzzle pieces to balance those super long necks.
Since you've touched your feet onto dinosaur evolution, I would like to learn the evolution of Pachycephalosaurids. They're one of my favorite groups in dinosaurs and I generally wanna learn how they got their iconic domed-heads
My favorite dinosaur is brachiosaurus too. i always find it cool when youtubers I watch share similar favorite things with me. Also the scene in walking with dinosaurs with the dinosaur is really cool
That description on the titanosaur skeleton... you had me imagining it (which I'm sure doesn't do it justice) and I just... I can't... I understand the science of why sauropods got so huge, but I still can't and never will be able to get my head around them.
Love 10:27 How I imagine these majestic creatures really looked like on the horizon. Sad they have been extinct for over 60m years. Still, they are able to be appreciated by you and me thanks to science and the curiosity of our species. Sad, yet a beautiful thought. Cheers
Great vid, great channel. We want more. Just remembered not to talk too fast😉.., good stories like these deserve time to be heard and seen by everyone on this planet, non natural english speaking people too. Thanks for the uploads and greetings bibia.
I guess the secret of sauoropods being able to achieve such a huge size and still stand on land is their hollow, air-filled bones. They probably weighed about half what people thought they did when they thought the bones were solid.
We went to see patagotitan at the Natural History Museum in London. So cool. And once we got over the size of it, we had fun playing with the sauropod fart button.
I don't really believe in evolution because I'm Christian but this video is so interesting and it's cool to see other people's opinions to how world was made. KEEP UP GRIND BROTHER!
Wow, if not your video, I would have not known of Eoraptor reclassification into sauropodomorhps! Reclassification goes almost always under a radar, articles and Twitter posts share almost always info about new species or new study about lifestyle or anatomy, I almost never see something about reclassification. Where did you got an info about Efraasia's cheeks? Btw, wonderful video. Very well done on informative side.
One of my favorite features of the carnegie nature history museum is that you can see diplodocus and apatosaurus from the stacks in the library next door
Sauropods in media: Biggests punching bags in history, just there to show how powerful carnivorous dinosaurs were. Sauropods in reality: Brontosaurus: Excuse me sir. You’re just in time for the event. Allosaurus: What event? Brontosaurus: *W E I N E R C O M P R E S S I O N D A Y* Allosaurus: What the fu-
Bruh, ephanterias amplexus ate those for breakfast. The ancestor to ths giganotosauridae, rules the jurassic, not the big al variant or what I call allosaurus minus
Hi, I would like to gave you some corrections regarding this video: - Prosauropods is an obsolete term, it has been replaced by "non sauropod sauropodomorphs". - It's Antetonitrus, not Antenotritus, a very cool name, it means before the thunder. - Spinophorosaurus didn't have a spiked club, only Shunosaurus had it, and also Mamenchisaurus even if it was very small. - No, numerous studies showed that Diplodocus and other long tailed sauropod couldn't use their tails for defense, it was too thin to be an effective weapon and the bones would've easily broke. It has been hypothesized that it could've had some communication purpose. - It's not sure Alamosaurus shared its environment with T. rex, they come from different formation, but there are fossils of an undescribed Tyrannosaurid from the same formation of Alamosaurus, which may be T. rex or a close relative. Hope this could help and good luck for your future videos.
I agree how cool it would be to witness these giants in real life. But, of course, being wary of those tail whips. A herd of them must have shaken the ground as they walked past. And I wonder what their calls sounded like.
worth noting that sauropods are known to be able to take and run in a bipedal stance when they are hatchlings. They only become 100% quadropedal as they advance through life and begin to weigh to much to safely carry in that running stance.
I've seen that same skeleton at the Natural History Museum and felt exactly the same way. I walked the length of it like 4 times and took way too many pictures.
Small detail: the prosauropods were in fact not the only giants of the Triassic, having to contend with huge dicynodonts like Lisowicia - weighing as much as an elephant, and surprisingly closer to us than to dinosaurs! It is only when dicynodonts went extinct at the end of the Triassic that prosauropods and then sauropods became truly uncontested in size
Very cool video and super happy that this featured the Sauropods. Great job on trying some of the most difficult pronunciations. However a few corrections on some general pronunciations - Saurischian (saur-ish-ee-an) and Ornithischian (or-neh-thish-ee-an). I know Sauropods are pronouced sor-oh-pawds, however, when it comes to Sauropoda and other "poda", the paw becomes a po (Sor-o-po-da) like the po in podiatrist. Hope that helps
It's crazy how the sauropod group containing the biggest animals to ever walk on land (the titanosaurs) also had Magyarosaurus, which was only the size of a cow, and lived at the same time as the other giant titanosaurs like Alamosaurus (right before the big extinction at the end of the Cretaceous).

Ah the wonders of tiny islands
A tiny giant
It’s also crazy to me how we could’ve had cow size elephants in the modern day if humans hadn’t hunted or exported them to extinction (Mediterranean and Southeast Asian Island elephants).
Hateg island is an underrated oddity of the Cretaceous
Still would absolutely mog the biggest Mammalian predator of today.
Love how you got so excited about the fossil at the Natural History Museum and then with a throat clearing your back to the video. It's great to see some personality in your video than just all facts
was this at the musium in NEW YORK ? to bad im in floruduh
Yeah which natural history museum is it??
i liked your comment before i got to that part just because i agreed that its nice to see our youtubers personalities shine in here and there! but i def felt his energy! i had the same when i first went to the denver museum when i was younger than 10. and seeing those replication skeletons in person really makes you feel something. i grew up in phoenix and people always said, "i seen pics of the grand canyon, im good" nah you need to go there at least once in person to truly appreciate it, one of those "pics dont do it justice" things
I felt that little tangent at the end there on a personal level, dinosaurs never cease to ignite that childlike wonder and awe that overwhelms me in the best way
it's crazy to think these behemoths started out as small, carnivorous, bipedal dinosaurs that looked like Velociraptors.
They started out as omnivorous.
It's also crazy that these beasts, weighing up to 100 tons, about half the size of the largest animal ever to live (today's blue whale), had brains and intelligence about the same as a chicken, sometimes literally, and sometimes in proportion to their body mass.
@@raylopez99 just pointing out that chicken are not exactly as dumb as pop culture drilled into us tho.
They started as Omnivores
But velociraptors had complex feathers and wings, the early sauropomorphs barely had protofeathers
The largest land species to once walk the land. Probably hitting the limits on how far a land species can get so big while still being sustainable.
Also things grew to massive sizes due to the O² levels being much higher than they are today.
Dude. Your thinking of insects
@@kpoper4lyf False, that applies more so to the giant insects of the carboniferous.
@@kpoper4lyf nope
they would probably evolve even further and rule the world even nowadays.
Imagine all the little dinosaurs that probably lived their lives on sauropods that we will never know existed
Like cowbirds? I love the idea!
A separate video on titanosaurs? YES PLEASE 🤩
Dude, your first dinosaur video and easily one of your best videos period. So happy you’re expanding out into other organisms!
Eeyup.
Alright now onto our first Dinosaur Evolution video centering on Sauropods.
Hope you do an evolution on the Theropod dinosaurs, the Ceratopsians, Mosasaurs, Turtles, the Stegosaurus, the Pterosaurs and the Birds.
Not to be that guy but I hope you’re aware that 3 of those groups are not dinosaurs
@@duder7396 I didn’t say that these 3 groups (e.g. Mosasaurs, Pterosaurs, Turtles) are Dinosaurs I just want him to cover them, you didn’t have to sound like a dick.

Imagine how much longer to stop hearing/feeling it's footsteps 😮💨 a whole herd of them prolly feels like the rumbling from aot
I mean, they’d be relatively fast right? Big ol steps.
@@realdaggerman105 They may only have been able to move one leg forward at a time though due to their size and weight

Sauropod crossing 🚸 😂
Nah it would walk with a large idk walking cycle it’s steps alone would make it faster than a human
You should absolutely do more videos about Mesozoic life. This was a treat
As a biology student I really love your channel- would love to see more videos on the evolution of extinct animals! There is an near endless supply to choose from. I would suggest gorgonopsids or cephalopods but thats just my bias 😁
I love how at some point the narrator gets super excited then goes back to talking like normal after a cough like nothing happened.

That rant about the sauropod you saw in a museum was funny as hell, please do more of that shit.
for real
A video about my favourite group of Dinosaurs?!?
Sweetness 😊
Your enthusiasm over the massive Patagotitan you saw in the museum was a thing of beauty. It was a really enjoyable video overall, however it was this expression of joy towards something so marvellous that you earned yourself a like and a sub. 🎉
Also!! The memes were good. Mr Crabs doing bench presses are the cherry on the cake. 🎂
Glad to see your talking about my favorite dinosaurs and explaining their history!
Nigersaurus is my favourite dinosaur for no particular reason I just like it.
dark humor mfs when i commit SA hate crime or their babies 😨.
@Empty Glass this is the best reply I've ever seen.
i have to say that you’re by far the funniest and most entertaining paleo youtuber. the rest are out here making dumb jokes for toddlers the whole time. you’re just actually funny in a really deadpan way

I love sauropods. Easily my favorite dinosaur clade. Thanks for the in-depth video!
Sauropods 🦕 are some of my favorite dinosaurs because of how big they are; their size is really something to behold. Also, that’s so cool with that fossil in the museum. Also, big congrats on this being your first dinosaur video.

Littlefoot mother didn't make me fall in love with sauropods for nothing . This however was informing . Great content love this channel .

I've watched Dinosaurs change since my days in grade school, back in the 1950s, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much, but several things remain unchanged, for me: I wonder what they tasted like and, can you imagine the enormous piles of poop where ever those puppies went!? Must have been Heaven for whatever kind of Scarab beetle lived back then, not to mention the Monkey Puzzle trees.
I think scientists tried to figure out what a t rex tasted like a bit ago. Look up "what would a t rex taste like"
how you felt about that giant fossil is so relatable i think i would cry if i saw it in person
They just recently found out through scanning the neck bone fossils that they may be hollow like bird bones and stacked in such a way like puzzle pieces to balance those super long necks.
This guy keeps upping his game. Good job animal origins!

Wow this is crazy! Never thought that sauropod ancestors would look like theropods! Really fascinating
Sauropods are closer to theropods than to the Ornithischians
Do it. A whole video on Titanosaurians is what we want.
Few things bring as much joy as seeing a zoologist geek out about their favorite dinosaur.
Dude that display at the museum sounds amazing!!!!!!
Man the number of different Dinosaurs sure has grown since I first got interested in them back in the 1960's.
Love 10:27
How I imagine these majestic creatures really looked like on the horizon. Sad they have been extinct for over 60m years. Still, they are able to be appreciated by you and me thanks to science and the curiosity of our species. Sad, yet a beautiful thought. Cheers

I’m using this video to study for a dinosaur exam, thanks for the vid dude. You should cover the history of the ornithopod dinosaurs.
The humor in this video was PEAK 🦕 🦕 🦕
I guess the secret of sauoropods being able to achieve such a huge size and still stand on land is their hollow, air-filled bones. They probably weighed about half what people thought they did when they thought the bones were solid.
12:05 woah I thought you were a laidback book worm nerd 😂 the BRO in you really came out 😳🫣🤣
This is really interesting! As a kid, I never thought about how they appeared. 😅

Yay more dinosaur videos please can you do the Chasmosaurus and related next ?
From dropping dino facts to casually roasting reddit mods. Good stuff.
So excited to see you do a dinosaur video! I'd love to see the evolution of any other Meoozoic or Pre-Mesozoic creatures!
Wow, if not your video, I would have not known of Eoraptor reclassification into sauropodomorhps!
Reclassification goes almost always under a radar, articles and Twitter posts share almost always
info about new species or new study about lifestyle or anatomy, I almost never see something
about reclassification.
Where did you got an info about Efraasia's cheeks?
Btw, wonderful video. Very well done on informative side.
Cool stuff
Brachiosaurus is my favourite too. Thanks for sharing!
Evolution of Ankylosaurs would be a cool video
Could you do an evolution of lemurs/prosimians vid? I know there's one for monkeys but prosimians would be great to see too

I wonder if they really reached the size limit. The asteroid killed them off, so we'll never know if they could have gotten even bigger.
They didn't die out because of the meteorite, they just evolved into birds because of climate change.
Lol i love that hype when u were talking about ur museum trip
next do a video about Notosuchia.
6:38 Surprisingly accurate
this is one of the best natural history channels on yt. you're funny as fuck while also being informative. keep it up dude 👌🏼
My favorite dinosaur is either Agentinosarus or Alamosaurus sanjuanensis. Both of them are estimated to have weighed over 50 metric tonnes
blew my mind. I literally grew up thinking Eoraptor was an early theropod.
You should do a video on the Bruhathkayosaurus--possibly the largest sauropod ever discovered at up to 190 tons.
My boys!!
I agree how cool it would be to witness these giants in real life. But, of course, being wary of those tail whips. A herd of them must have shaken the ground as they walked past. And I wonder what their calls sounded like.
With that severe overbite, Sauropods didn't smile much.
Where do the beautiful dinosaur names come from ¿
Science should serve to make things as cool as possible: total agreement from me.
Sick post, thanks for sharing Big Dog.
Even as a Ceratopsian guy, I have to admit Sauropods where awesome.
this channel is amazing
Actually, every science class ever should be exactly like this
Fascinating video my dude
I love sauropods :)
Amazing video as always!
Best sauropod video ever!❤
“The last time I studied dinosaurs was in 5th grade”
And they called me crazy for thinking dinosaurs didn’t roar like lions and tigers
That Reddit moderator joke had me dying lmao
Maybe the evolution of ankylosaurs next? Ankylosaurus is my favorite dinosaur
Sauropods show similar evolutionary trend to Plesiosaurs and
Theropods show similar evolutionary trend to Pliosaurs
Small problem with your analogy. Pliosaurs are Plesiosaurs.
@@tjarkschweizer and theropods share a common ancestor with sauropods
@@SepiaChild That's different. Theropods aren't sauropods but pliosaurs are plesiosaurs.
@@tjarkschweizer so i never said that long neck Plesiosaurs aren't large head Pliosaurs
worth noting that sauropods are known to be able to take and run in a bipedal stance when they are hatchlings. They only become 100% quadropedal as they advance through life and begin to weigh to much to safely carry in that running stance.
Yo you should do Tyrannosaurs next. They have just a complex evolution just like Sauropods.
I've seen that same skeleton at the Natural History Museum and felt exactly the same way. I walked the length of it like 4 times and took way too many pictures.

Nice jokes! Great picture selection.
Now even though all these sauropods are fascinating,
Redditorpods >>>>>>
The music at the start is inabakumori - Lagtrain (Vo. Kaai Yuki) / 稲葉曇『ラグトレイン』Vo. 歌愛ユキ
sounds like you should cover more dinosaurs
Would be cool to see another group from this time that still are alive today get an evolution the crocodiles
YES I LOVE SAUROPODS
You should definitely make more dino vids
Very cool video and super happy that this featured the Sauropods. Great job on trying some of the most difficult pronunciations.

I really liked the video especially because of your enthusiasm about this topic. The jokes were also hilarious when they came
That's probably why Fred Flintstone and crew used them in their construction job's... 🤔
