Love the dinosaur movie by Disney even though its somewhat out of date paleo art wise, but for the time it was up to date. I loved the primeval series as well, need to rewatch it at some point but one of the characters names had my dead name in it and I get dysphoria whenever I heard it in general so yeah, i wanna rewatch it but aslo don't because of that name. Its a bittersweet decision I haven't made my mind on yet.

I also wish they had did a few more seasons of terranova i thought it was a really promising show and great idea,but those shows rely on watch time and people engagement as well as a bunch of other factors.
You really could not have come up with a better title for this video. When people think "Triassic Dinosaurs", this guy is nearly always the first one that comes to mind. And it's been that way even BEFORE Walking With Dinosaurs came out!

It’s odd how for many dinosaurs, the genus name is more well known than the species name. I’ve not heard Coelophysis’ species name before today. Very cool

Is it known that coelophysis had protofeathers? They would have been the first feathers ever considering they come from the scaled lizards in the late Permian-early Triassic. Scales were adapted to trap moisture so that tetrapods could fully shift to terrestrial lifestyles in the Carboniferous, when was the first fossil record of (proto)feathers?
There was a study published in 2020 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7259893/) that through the use of a thermoregulation models and a simulated Triassic climate, studied how a Coelophysis and Plateosaurus sized animal would fare in equatorial and temperate latitudes. They came to the conclussion that Coelophysis would always be more efficient with integument insulation and would fail to survive at temperate latitudes without it, while Plateosaurus would overheat even with limited isulation in temperate conditions and wouldn't survive in the tropics.
13:35 I have a question: Doesn't the "must have been covered by filaments to keep its metabolism" conclusion clash with Psittacosaurus; a dinosaur that was even smaller, an herbivore (so presumably ate less nutritious food), and we KNOW been completely covered by scales (except the funny cheratinous things on the tail)?
Well, these animals had differing diets, builds, and environmental conditions, so they didn't really need filaments in their case. I'll track down a source I read a while back to respond properly if I find anything.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy Thanks a lot, another issue I had with that study was that mybe assuming the metabolic rate of a modern ratite for coelophysis could be a bit of a stretch. Since it was a pretty basal dinosaur and not too distant (in therms of timescale) from its archosaur ancerstors...though I'm merely an amatour and could very well be completely wrong XD! Great video BTW!
I can't even imagine a human equivalent to the significance of two, individual dinosaur's remains being taken into outer space by mammals in a huge machine. Nothing in that sentence would be possible for even the most fantasy-level smart, aware animal to comprehend. That's so weird to think about. The size of these lads compared to the size of their group, & the size of the known average triassic animals... b r u h . . . makes wolves feel like pugs in comparison.
might just be my opinion but the syntarsus with the crests looks very related to dilophosaurus it even has the premaxillary notch, so it should be called Prodilophosaurus even if its just convergent evolution and not actually a relative i think it fits.
Always love to see something about my state fossil! The other information presented at the end of the video raises some questions, though. Namely, WHY ARE WE SENDING DINOSAURS TO SPACE? Did some scientists just get drunk and say, "Hey, you know what would be cool? Dinosaurs in a rocket ship!" or was there a legitimate reason for doing this?
Certainly a pioneer in dinosaur evolution! It’s novel traits set the ground for one of the most important clades in natural history. Also, I think entomologists shouldn’t get to decide the name of a dinosaur, by only asking the paleontologists to change it they all would’ve avoided a lot of trouble.
What i had in mind was to know if they kill their own to eat them cause not eating already dead ones would presumably resemble a waste of nutrition for animals with metabolic rates thus high.
Great video bud! We also generally pronounce it “trokanter”. The ch is usually pronounced like a k in most medical terminology that I’ve encountered, or at least it is when it’s pronounced and written out in English. Probably different in other languages.
Great video! Also it could be problem on my side, but there is strange high pitched "whistling" in audio, especially around "c"s and "s"s that kinda uncomfortable. Still video is so good I totally can endure this.
to me Coelophysis was scaly, the Triassic was far too hot for feathers. maybe if Coelophysis lived during the Cretaceous it could've had feathers, but no, it lived during the Triassic. As for dinosaurs of the Jurassic it would depend on their size.
@@lordreptilestormblade1749 The time stamp was when the discussion about the climate in the Triassic started, he just happened to talk about prosauropods first, he then goes on to say that a smaller, thin-bodied theropod would have needed feathers or featherlike covering to regulate body temperature.
@@iridiumSerpent ah. I suppose quills or something thin could work, but I'm still not convinced full-fledged feathers would've helped as it either would've caused overheating or forced it to live in areas with either more shade or less heat. Scales would still be ideal but yes, I can see how quills might help.
As a wannabe entomologist, I find the controversy over Megnaposaurus offensive and I support the entomologists fully even though I didn't pay attention to the details of the matter because I was writing this comment instead.
Same here. It's really not as big of an issue as they made it out to be. The humorous name, while not too formal, is not exactly an uncommon thing, and sometimes it goes to show that fun can go into naming animals if it's not too offensive.
@Jesse Mathis "Unique", whether in connotation or denotation, means "the only one". It's from Latin "unus", meaning "one", via "unicus", meaning "the only one", via French "unique", meaning "single" or "solitary". Pretty clear etymology.
Well, that's not entirely impossible depending on their habitat and population, but in this case, it was just an exceptional number of them being deposited, not being made extinct as a whole.

Coelophysis is one of my favorite dinosaurs. They were a very successful genus of theropods. There bodyplan was advanced for theropods of it's time.

What i had in mind was to know if they kill their own to eat them cause not eating already dead ones would presumably resemble a waste of nutrition for animals with metabolic rates thus high.
“Big Dead Lizard” Ha! I would guess though that the “P” in Megapnosaurus is silent
In Greek and Latin, there are no silent letters. Technically, Pteranodon should be pronounced pteh-rah-noh-don.
Plateosaurus: What about me
Well, they were included in the study, and since it was interesting, I covered them in this video. :)
What about feathers? Noticed that some artist’s gave feathers and some did not. Any evidence one way or the other?
