Hey Clint, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a TH-cam Videos all about the 🦭Pinniped Group (True Seals/Earless Seals, Eared Seals, And Walruses)🦭 on the next Clint’s Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
That was a great video about the ancient Theropods that, once upon a time, roamed within most land environments of the planet Terra. Still, with 3 major flaws: 1. You've mixed too much the different clads of ancient Theropods. Since the Spinossaurus ain't really a dinosaur; and much mo likely; a bipedal crocodilian; with the same nostril array of pressure sensors, as a modern day Nile crocodile. 2. The Dyinonichous or dromeossaurs, had most likely, either sparse or complete coated, proto feathers. Not modern day birds feathers!. 3. You've went cheerleader, while trying to inform people about some important facts & science, regarding the natural history of the ancient Theropods. When you say that the T-Rex was anywhere beyond 10 tons in weight, together with probably being either bigger than a Spinossaurus, or a Giganotossaurus... When just the Giganotossaurus alone, with its lighter hollower bones, was almost 25% bigger than a T-Rex of the same weight. To conclude: You should refer mo, to the regional origins of each type of dinossaur, that you isolate, to talk about. There is a short video about the last Majungossaurus, that roamed the Southern part of the nowadays country of Angola, Africa; that also showcases some of the most prestige fossilized nest sites of the also already extinct Giganotoratpor. And such video, shows that most big carnivorous Theropods, were pretty territorial; plus most herbivores / omnivorous Theropods; were smart small-time enterprisers, of anything that was or would be available, to consume, on their residential or found, environment.
I have NEVER wanted Clint to do a crossover with _Your Dinosaurs are Wrong_ more than after this video. Clint, PLEASE set up this collab with Steven. The world NEEDS this to happen.
YDAW sprang to mind with me, as well. Another thing I'd like to see Clint address is how dinos, etc., relate to the positions of the continents of their eras. Sure, they start and end at much different locations by era, but a depiction of the relative middle position of each would still be hugely helpful for visualizing the layout of the planet for each. Isolated snapshots, such as the S America-Antarctica connection, are nice, but an overview? Name your own value to seeing on a globe where the various nations of the world are located, vs only piecing them together from local maps. That was literally the reality for large-scale map making for almost all human history, and to the modern eye, the maps they created were absurdly bad. It was such a massive challenge that it took us millennia to get past it, and even then, almost all the improvements were concentrated into mere centuries. We're only a few generations away from a time when aircraft photography was the best H Sap could muster, and now you can view the Earth from orbit in real time from the convenience of your phone. Sorry, got a little carried away, but I think it was worth digging into a bit. How can you play Risk if you have no idea about any game piece's actual size, or you know that, but even though the borders matter, you can't see any of them?
@@bookman7409 This has some real "I'm up hours past my usual bedtime and now I'm not sure if I'll ever sleep again" philosophical energy to it. And I'm here for it.
Can i just say how much I appreciate you making videos on prehistoric life? As a kid I always thought "dinosaurs are cool, modern animals are lame!" But as I grew older and learned more about dinosaurs, prehistoric life and evolutionary biology, now I can say my love for dinosaurs made me fall in love and learn to appreciate modern day animals as well! It's a shame that at least from my perspective, a lot of people interested in animals today don't share the same appreciation for prehistoric ones
I love the prehistoric ones like back stories of animals now and within the last 40,000 yrs or so. Life is fascinating. Learning about what was also gives me hope for what will be. We may not leave an earth WE HUMANS can live in, but life... it will find a way! 🥰
Think about it this way: 10:01 what Clint says here about this theropod having very large eyes for its size which can be a clue that they where predators applies to cats 🐈 too
"You can stick your hand right through the pelvis of a dinosaur." Yeah, but you were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should."
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I grew up in a creationist household that taught me dinosaurs were a hoax, and after getting more into fossil hunting and starting to look into the early geologic periods and fossil records, I’m absolutely obsessed and going through my dinosaur phase at 23. The more videos like this the better, they make it so easy to understand the classifications and help lay everything out. I’d watch even longer form videos than this, the 37 minutes went by so fast! You’re the best, Clint 🙏
I spent a summer after freshman year of college living with my great uncle, who had helped pay for my college, but that meant being part of his niece’s (my aunt) family, since they all lived on one street. I knew the aunt’s had been exotic Scientologists in the 60s & had then converted to strict Christianity. I was expecting something like Missouri Synod Lutherans (doom, gloom, but also yes to science, just don’t bring it up lol!). I got my first real intro to fundamentalism. We had to go to classes before church on Sunday (I got a job on Sunday soon after) & I went to “Current Events.” It was all about how to break your kids’ hearts and tell them dinosaurs are a symbol of evil in the modern world and all that nonsense. I grew up in the UCC, we had the first female pastor in town (and first lgbt but that wouldn’t be known for a long time, we had 2 queer pastors back to back 1976 - 1990, I was a queer kid living on the Montana prairie who LUCKED OUT)! I am so glad you got the knowledge early!! Even though I’m pretty sure early Judaism most certainly did mean to warn people off knowledge a la Adam & Eve, many Jewish and Christian denominations interpret that as knowledge of sin. But all early religions were likely much-needed tools of social control, and that sticks in my mind always. Anyway congrats on your freedom!! You earned this Dino phase!
I LOVE Dinosaur December...Even though I'm a dino-all-day kinda guy...@ClintsReptiles Thanks for the years of incredible stuff...from all of us Google Biologists and Weekend Paleontologists...Thank you for keeping us going
I would love to see more on Ceratosauridae, my two favorite Dinosaurs are Ceratosaurus and Allosaurus, so I would never complain about hearing more. My favorite fact about Ceratosaurus is the design of its teeth, with the stubby lower teeth, and the huge slicing upper teeth. That to me is just such a cool design trait. With Allosaurus I just really appreciate how tough they were, with their fossils sporting healed wounds from things as nasty as Stegosauridae tail spikes and from tussles with other big dinosaurs. I also applaud your title for being the most accurate thing I've ever read!
I would like to point out that Jurassic Park the novel wasn't as inaccurate to the dinosaurs as the movie. The book was just so much better, and is probably the biggest reason i became a reader and later an English major with a love for creative fiction. But I would never have read the book without the movie!
Honestly, the movie is not that bad, except for Velociraptor's name change and Dilophosaurus, most of the dinosaurs were correctly represented, for a fiction with no education purpose ^^ I'd argue Jurassic Park did more good than harm to paleontology, yes it created some false ideas about dinosaurs, but it also forced everyone to accept the Dinosaur renaissance movement, without Jurassic Park, quick and agile dinosaurs would've stayed a nerd thing for decades. And it probably created more paleontologists careers than all the museums in the world combined XD
I'm reading the book now, and I'm in the middle, and it's funny when then point out stuff that's similar to birds. I haven't watched the movie recently, but I don't remember them talking about birds at all? But also the book likes to explain the science a lot more
@@margaridatorres1273 It's easier to explain science in a book, you have the time and the space ^^ But the movie talks a lot about birds, first time Grant is introduced, he's presenting the skeleton of a "Velociraptor" by pointing to all the similarities with bird's skeleton. And later, Timmy explicitly says that Grant is partisan of the theory that dinosaurs get extinct by "changing into birds", a tad oversimplified, but the idea is there ^^ And that's just what I remember, I don't know the movie by heart XD
I have always been very interested in dinosaurs from a young age. I was always looking and collecting books on them and my bookshelves are... very heavy. I am so glad there is a knowledgeable person who has just as much interest as I do in them. I also really appreciate the way you say there are many possibilities without saying one as absolute fact as most do. I find things are always changing when it comes to prehistoric life and there are many theories present, along with changing theories, you are explaining them and encourage thinking without taking a bias side. Learning anatomy and technical terms from you is much more fun and easy than a lot of standard university courses. I am taking a lot of animal biology based courses in uni and your videos are helping to explain things to me that i may not completely understand in lecture. It is very refreshing and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and making it fun!
Fun fact about Dilophosaurus: the frill we see it sporting in the JP franchise has no evidence in the fossil record of existing. It didn't even have that in the books, but Spielberg decided to give it the frill to make it more imposing and impressive. I have heard, Dilophosuarus was probably one of the larger dinosaurs roaming round at the time.
Yes, it's one of the first wave of large carnivores that appeared after the Triassic extinction And since it's one of the earlier group of theropods, has four fingers, but the fourth one has started to shrink
Really like this content! In a ‘Biology’ class focused on Dinosaurs, and this channel has helped me out with learning extra things, or just understanding them better! Also… one moment in the video; Clint: “You know what the difference is between Daemonosaurus and Tawa is?” My head: “yes, Tawa is pronounceable, the rest are not”
Barely related, but I think Ceratosaurus is one of the most underrated theropods, probably because it's almost always shown being destroyed by Allosaurus in most paleo media.
First time ever I have seen anyone even talk about my favourite dinosaur! The coelophysis has been my fave since I was a tiny child with a big love for dinos, and watched walking with dinosaurs almost every day.
@@ClintsReptilesGood video, and it was a great deep dive into how modern marsupials came about, but the stone thrown skipped right off the surface of Australia's prehistoric marsupials, not to mention any mention of the other fun megafauna they lived with. My favourite dinosaur is Leaellynasaura, because they were likely covered in feathery fluff and really cute and pet sized.
I didn't. But I will now. LOVE your channel. Reptiles have been my pets of choice all through the years (until I got my little dog a few years back. I think I love dogs now, as much as I still love my dinosaurs).@@ClintsReptiles
I'm gonna have to ask for a video on...: Dilophosaurida, ceratosauria, and all of carnosauria (I'm a sucker, the Ballad of Big Al made me fall in love with Allosuarus, now I make pilgrimages to MotR to see Al). Clint you do a great job of explaining phylogeny and taxonomy, coupled with your enduring enthusiasm, it makes these videos so excellent. I hope you all have a happy holidays!
To be fair to jurassic park, in Jurassic world Dr Wu said that the inconsistancies to real world dinosaurs were due to the gene splicing. He was hired to make them scary, not realistic. So maybe they used reptile DNA from frilled lizards or snakes or something to make dilophosaurus. Or unintended side effects.
to answer your question, Dreadnoughtus is my favorite dinosaur. I would love a video on the long necked dinosaurs. Thanks for the amazing and educational content Clint!
Would love a video about the ceratosaurians!! They might be my second favorite dinosaurs… after ceratopsians, which… would also appreciate a video on 😂
Even now, at 76, my living room is lined with well-sculpted dinosaur figures - mostly stegosaurs and ceratopsians. I've always preferred herbivores, being crippled with empathy for prey. My Marx dinosaurs were an obsession back in the '50s. My favorite ceratosaur was the Ray Harryhausen version from The Animal World.
I remember when the fossil of Big Al was discovered in 1991 and I read every article that came out about him which cause me to fall in love with Allosaurus. I was also a kid when Land Before Time was released in 1988 and fell in love with Spike which led me to the Stegosaurus. Those to have always been and forever will be my favorite dinosaurs.
Love your videos Clint! 🦎 Your enthusiasm is both infectious and inspiring. 🦖 I only found this channel recently but it's easily one of my favourites on all of TH-cam 🐊
A Triassic video is coming?! Awesome. Also, I love that image of Daemonosaurus with those giant teeth. It looks like an adorable chain chomp (from a Mario game) and I want one!
Thank you for updating my understanding of these most wonderful animals.....so much has happened since I spent countless hours studying everything dinosaur when I was younger 🙂👍
Clint the detail in this video is fantastic, too much paleontology content online discusses cladistics as very set in stone and it's lovely to hear about the hows / whys and doubts. "just with a grain of salt" is something that is rarely said in paleo content but aknowledging that we don't know everything is honestly so exciting to me.
My favorite Jurassic Park is the 3rd movie, because of the dad Eric Kirby, for Kirby Paint and Tile Plus... The “Plus” in the name stands for “bathroom fixtures". and asking if anyone has change for the vending machine, the Tricycloplots and other humor. That guy didn't fit in the movie, it was like watching 2 different movies at once. I loved it.
One cool clade of living theropods (birds) I think you should cover are the clade containing the swifts and the hummingbirds known as the Apodiformes which are one of the coolest families of birds in my opinion! Look at swifts for example which are known to basically live most of their lives in the air including sleeping! 🦅 🦜 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apodiformes
@@billyr2904 But the Apodiformes alone are unique because both swifts and hummingbirds are unable to do something that all other birds (including other Storisores) can do hence the name of the clade that they make up.
@@ClintsReptiles can you start within the new year of 2023!!! pretty please do a couple of advance videos on the individual dinosaurs from the movie "dinosaurs" they have these dino's featured: allosaurus, carnotaur, triceratops and several versions of triceratop like dinosaurus " , ankylasaurus the one with boney like ball dino with a spiny bone balls at the base of the tail "i call them billy club dino's , stegosaurus, iguanadon , pygmy raptors, some weird lemur based monkeys, a few croc-like dinos. theres also a suggestion to do a small overview of featuring all the known dinosaurus from the movie series(s) theres at least 13 "land before time.' all have varieous clades of animals from dinosaurus to earlier feather like flying dinosaurs. i will warn that at least 30% of the movies which the series has singing, theres dialogue for older adults as well for "coming of age" teens dialogues as weell but i digress those features in the much much later movies probably around "land before time 10-13 series.. if you want to take the time to dive into their christmas versions: they feature dinosaurus that arent in to other movies..
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on theropods and Dino taxonomy in general. Thanks for making this. So many taxonomists are terrible are at communicating the excitement and key takeaways from this content because they are mind-numbingly technical and impassionate in their delivery
Daemonosaurus is one of my favourite dinosaurs, i only discovered their existence recently but the reconstructions of them look so cute and silly, love the silly lil guys
Herrerasauridae was trying to be a dinosaur. Im so happy you did this video. Herrerasaurus i sm favorite almost dinosaur animal. I watched him on a dinosaur special called the Dinosaurs on pbs when i was younger. Great show.
Hello Clint, I've really been enjoying dinosaur december. If you're looking for collaborators for next Dino december, "your dinosaurs are wrong" YDAW could be a fun possibility.
I just want to say, your voice is so soothing and I love listening to your videos while drawing. I have a hard time being able to find videos to listen to while drawing without getting distracted, but you explain things so well that I don’t even need the visuals to know what you’re talking about. Please keep up the good work. I love your videos
saltasaurus is one of my favorites since i was a kid and had a toy that looked like it had large pieces salt on its back, kind of like a pretzel (and the name references that)
Great video as always from Clint and the team. Have you ever thought of doing one of these but setting the groups in the time period they arose in? Perhaps having the phylogeny colour coded by time period?
I always perk up when I hear Therizinosaurus :) They are my favorite dinosaur, so I'm always happy to see them mentioned! Thanks for the video :) I look forward to those future videos you mentioned!
"Not all ancient reptiles are dinosaurs." Whaaat?! Next you're going to be telling us that there were already avian dinosaurs (birds) before the extinction.
Theropoda is the Dinosaur clade I'm most familiar with - every dinosaur I've ever personally met has been a theropod - but I admit, I didn't know _half_ of the info here. Which is great, since I love learning new dinosaur facts!
I've been looking forward to dinosaur all year!!! These videos make my day! Have you considered ever doing a phylogeny on the sauropoda? They contain my two favorite dinosaurs, Brachosaurus and the more contentious (in the way that it's exact relationship with other sauropod is a little messy), the isanosaurus.
I stopped watching pet reptile content a while ago. I just noticed recently how much you’re expanding into other stuff. I’m really enjoying your videos on phylogeny.
Hello Clint! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I'm genuinely sorry I can't support you on Patreon at the moment - you truly deserve it! Your passion and enthusiasm for science is incredibly inspiring, and it always brightens my day. Picking a favorite dinosaur is tough with so many fascinating options, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey of discovery with your guidance. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Wishing you happy holidays and looking forward to more amazing content!
I love the Jurassic Park theme the composer did such an awesome job. The undertones of the music are so sad like they shouldn't exist it's just a really really good soundtrack
Carnotaurus and the abelisaurids defintely deserve their own video! Other than the squamates, I cant think of any other group of animals that have reduced their forelimbs to the point of being near vestigial...talk about the horned sausages on beefy legs!
Yay! It sounds like we’ll be digging into Spinosaurus! I really appreciate all of the research that goes into these videos. You’ve waded through and distilled a lot of theories into something comprehensive and accessible and it’s just great.
Your review of Jurassic Park franchise is spot on I need zero explanation. Although I would like to hear you talk about it regardless so yes, make that video please.
Ahhhh, good episode. Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus were my favorite theropods and their groups really did make it into the cretaceous as things like giganotosaurs and abeliosaurs... etc. So fun! Early tyrannosaurids had more fingers (I guess coelosaurs really at that point). I do also like the lighter tyrannosaurids, like gorgosaurus (albeertasaurs).
I am into dinosaurs, why I am so excited about this video and the previous one! If there was time and I didn't just wake up, I would totally name off like 400 of them!
THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!! I've been waiting for one of these videos from you! Keep making theropod videos! Would it be wrong to speculate that the AnimalCon video had something to do with this? No one really had any very unusual favorite dinosaurs (no offense to anyone). 😁 Oh, what is your favorite maker of dinosaur/animal figures? I was trying to guess if your dino toys in the video on your desk were from Schleich.
I've been binging these videos lately, and your enthusiasm for all of the animals I've heard you talk about is contagious! Have you ever talked about hell pigs, or the evolution of whales before? I only recently started to hear about hell pigs (and that they bear some relation to modern whales) and would like to learn more about them
I really hope you make that video on Ceratosauria Clint!! There are SO MANY cool dinosaurs in this clade and so many of them are rarely covered on TH-cam.
You probably were already going to mention this spinosaur in the spinosaurid video, but PLEASE talk about the irritator. The story behind it is amazing and the research on the jaw is very interesting.

@@krankarvolund7771 you'd think that the head crests would do that just fine though
More of a JP fact than a Dilo fact but yea, also in the books they were the correct size too, unclear why they made it smaller in the movie
@@EmilForsberg_GRYBOHead crests are not visible enough, especially when most of the movie is in the dark ^^
"I'll be happy to explain that comment in a future video." I've seen all the sequels, unfortunately, I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
Really like this content! In a ‘Biology’ class focused on Dinosaurs, and this channel has helped me out with learning extra things, or just understanding them better! Also… one moment in the video;
Clint: “You know what the difference is between Daemonosaurus and Tawa is?”
My head: “yes, Tawa is pronounceable, the rest are not”
Clint, this info is so dense… the only thing that makes it more digestible is your boundless enthusiasm, curiosity and genuine love of dinos. Thanks!
I love how he points out they aren't lizards every single time. It's not needed but so so so so much appreciated
Barely related, but I think Ceratosaurus is one of the most underrated theropods, probably because it's almost always shown being destroyed by Allosaurus in most paleo media.
First time ever I have seen anyone even talk about my favourite dinosaur! The coelophysis has been my fave since I was a tiny child with a big love for dinos, and watched walking with dinosaurs almost every day.
I protest the first statement in the video, I'd argue the best known of all dinosaurs is the mighty chicken.
You might be right about that.
So true
Ah yes. The Eddibilisaurus Rex (The Edible Lizard King).
Yet another therapod!
Long live the chickens!
Clint, you absolutly need to play prehistoric kingdom to own your own accurate designed dinosaurs zoo !
i love your prehistoric videos. can you do prehistoric mammals as well?? Australia has a lot of prehistorical marsupials
Did you see our recent video on marsupials??
@@ClintsReptilesGood video, and it was a great deep dive into how modern marsupials came about, but the stone thrown skipped right off the surface of Australia's prehistoric marsupials, not to mention any mention of the other fun megafauna they lived with.
My favourite dinosaur is Leaellynasaura, because they were likely covered in feathery fluff and really cute and pet sized.
I didn't. But I will now. LOVE your channel. Reptiles have been my pets of choice all through the years (until I got my little dog a few years back. I think I love dogs now, as much as I still love my dinosaurs).@@ClintsReptiles
@@ClintsReptilescan you please talk about stuff like titanoboa and megalania
@@ClintsReptiles I did. I dont remember the Thylacoleo part. Let me revisit it
I am not even finished watching yet, just LOVE this. PS, love your humor, and your CTR ring!
A video on the Abelisaurus and their diversity would be amazing!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm and passion whenever you're speaking about prehistoric life, Clint. It's truly inspirational 😊
I'm gonna have to ask for a video on...: Dilophosaurida, ceratosauria, and all of carnosauria (I'm a sucker, the Ballad of Big Al made me fall in love with Allosuarus, now I make pilgrimages to MotR to see Al). Clint you do a great job of explaining phylogeny and taxonomy, coupled with your enduring enthusiasm, it makes these videos so excellent. I hope you all have a happy holidays!
Love that clint is just sat there with his dinosaur "toys". Reminds me of when my kids were little playing with their dinos lol ❤
Ornithomimus is my favorite. It's nice to have them mentioned even if it was only briefly.
To be fair to jurassic park, in Jurassic world Dr Wu said that the inconsistancies to real world dinosaurs were due to the gene splicing. He was hired to make them scary, not realistic.
So maybe they used reptile DNA from frilled lizards or snakes or something to make dilophosaurus. Or unintended side effects.
Glad you included Jurassic Park's one good sequel, it's great seeing Jurassic Park III getting some love.
to answer your question, Dreadnoughtus is my favorite dinosaur. I would love a video on the long necked dinosaurs. Thanks for the amazing and educational content Clint!
Not the same sauropode, but my favourite is Brachiosaurus ^^
Would love a video about the ceratosaurians!! They might be my second favorite dinosaurs… after ceratopsians, which… would also appreciate a video on 😂
Even now, at 76, my living room is lined with well-sculpted dinosaur figures - mostly stegosaurs and ceratopsians. I've always preferred herbivores, being crippled with empathy for prey. My Marx dinosaurs were an obsession back in the '50s. My favorite ceratosaur was the Ray Harryhausen version from The Animal World.
I love how genuine enthusiasm for a subject can get me to care about things it had never even occurred to me to consider before.
Subscribed.
I remember when the fossil of Big Al was discovered in 1991 and I read every article that came out about him which cause me to fall in love with Allosaurus. I was also a kid when Land Before Time was released in 1988 and fell in love with Spike which led me to the Stegosaurus. Those to have always been and forever will be my favorite dinosaurs.
Love your videos Clint! 🦎 Your enthusiasm is both infectious and inspiring. 🦖 I only found this channel recently but it's easily one of my favourites on all of TH-cam 🐊
A Triassic video is coming?! Awesome. Also, I love that image of Daemonosaurus with those giant teeth. It looks like an adorable chain chomp (from a Mario game) and I want one!
yes, please!
Thank you for updating my understanding of these most wonderful animals.....so much has happened since I spent countless hours studying everything dinosaur when I was younger 🙂👍
That's why I do this. I've learned so much!
Clint the detail in this video is fantastic, too much paleontology content online discusses cladistics as very set in stone and it's lovely to hear about the hows / whys and doubts. "just with a grain of salt" is something that is rarely said in paleo content but aknowledging that we don't know everything is honestly so exciting to me.
have a good day everyone im forcing it onto you you cant take it back
lol sorry for doig twice sorry but still have a good day
@@maaikedebeer2688Thank you I need a good day! You also!
NNOOOOOO!!! NOT A (gasp!)
**GOOD DAY!!**
🤣😁
Welp, I was planning to have a mundane, mediocre day today, truly a travesty
I compel you also, to have a rad day (a fun rad not freaky rad)
My favorite Jurassic Park is the 3rd movie, because of the dad Eric Kirby, for Kirby Paint and Tile Plus... The “Plus” in the name stands for “bathroom fixtures".
and asking if anyone has change for the vending machine, the Tricycloplots and other humor.
That guy didn't fit in the movie, it was like watching 2 different movies at once.
I loved it.
One cool clade of living theropods (birds) I think you should cover are the clade containing the swifts and the hummingbirds known as the Apodiformes which are one of the coolest families of birds in my opinion! Look at swifts for example which are known to basically live most of their lives in the air including sleeping! 🦅 🦜
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apodiformes
I agree completely!
As well as the broader group that they belong to, called the Storisores.
@@billyr2904 But the Apodiformes alone are unique because both swifts and hummingbirds are unable to do something that all other birds (including other Storisores) can do hence the name of the clade that they make up.
@@ClintsReptiles can you start within the new year of 2023!!! pretty please do a couple of advance videos on the individual dinosaurs from the movie "dinosaurs" they have these dino's featured: allosaurus, carnotaur, triceratops and several versions of triceratop like dinosaurus " , ankylasaurus the one with boney like ball dino with a spiny bone balls at the base of the tail "i call them billy club dino's , stegosaurus, iguanadon , pygmy raptors, some weird lemur based monkeys, a few croc-like dinos. theres also a suggestion to do a small overview of featuring all the known dinosaurus from the movie series(s) theres at least 13 "land before time.' all have varieous clades of animals from dinosaurus to earlier feather like flying dinosaurs. i will warn that at least 30% of the movies which the series has singing, theres dialogue for older adults as well for "coming of age" teens dialogues as weell but i digress those features in the much much later movies probably around "land before time 10-13 series.. if you want to take the time to dive into their christmas versions: they feature dinosaurus that arent in to other movies..
This dude just absolutely makes me day with every video. His passion shines through.
Thank you Clint! Your a joy to watch. How awesome you are!
Omg! 12:42 Carnotaurus from Dinosaur King! I knew I recognize that picture when I saw it.
Another amazing video!!! Can't wait for the mini-series you're putting out on the Spinosaurids! 😉
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on theropods and Dino taxonomy in general. Thanks for making this. So many taxonomists are terrible are at communicating the excitement and key takeaways from this content because they are mind-numbingly technical and impassionate in their delivery
PLEASE do the Ceratasauridae!!! They are my FAVORITE!!!
Daemonosaurus is one of my favourite dinosaurs, i only discovered their existence recently but the reconstructions of them look so cute and silly, love the silly lil guys
Herrerasauridae was trying to be a dinosaur. Im so happy you did this video. Herrerasaurus i sm favorite almost dinosaur animal. I watched him on a dinosaur special called the Dinosaurs on pbs when i was younger. Great show.
Herrerasauridae just didn't want it enough.
It’s basically just a Jurassic Park Raptor but real
I love dinos however i do not have the best knowledge of then so i truly enjoy learning
Hello Clint, I've really been enjoying dinosaur december. If you're looking for collaborators for next Dino december, "your dinosaurs are wrong" YDAW could be a fun possibility.
33:08 He is spitting straight facts
I NEED that music box!
It's the most wonderful thing ever!
I just want to say, your voice is so soothing and I love listening to your videos while drawing. I have a hard time being able to find videos to listen to while drawing without getting distracted, but you explain things so well that I don’t even need the visuals to know what you’re talking about. Please keep up the good work. I love your videos
Wow, thank you so much!
Spinosaurus is my FAVORITE dinosaur and I love the new theories about how they looked!
How? It looks so damn goofy.
@@GriffindorDrago I like goofy!
saltasaurus is one of my favorites since i was a kid and had a toy that looked like it had large pieces salt on its back, kind of like a pretzel (and the name references that)
Allosaurus is my #1 favorite dinosaur and dilophosaurus being my 2nd favorite. I also think pterosaurs are very underrated and deserve more love.
Great video as always from Clint and the team. Have you ever thought of doing one of these but setting the groups in the time period they arose in? Perhaps having the phylogeny colour coded by time period?
Triassic is coming soon!
@@ClintsReptiles oh brilliant 😀 can't wait
I always perk up when I hear Therizinosaurus :) They are my favorite dinosaur, so I'm always happy to see them mentioned! Thanks for the video :) I look forward to those future videos you mentioned!
Obi-Wan: "I won the plant contest, Anikan!"
Anikan: "You underestimate MY FLOWER!!"
Flowers are overrated
The jurassic park ending was awesome!!! Perfect. I'm totally loving Dinosaur December. Thank you Clint❤
Great video overall, but I'm a bit disappointed you didn't cover the clade megaraptora. I wouldn't mind this group getting its own video though.
That one's Greek to me. Thanks - I'll have to look into them now.
23:37 Clint got very close to opening the largest can of worms in dinosaur education by almost mentioning megaraptora.
"Not all ancient reptiles are dinosaurs." Whaaat?! Next you're going to be telling us that there were already avian dinosaurs (birds) before the extinction.
Theropoda is the Dinosaur clade I'm most familiar with - every dinosaur I've ever personally met has been a theropod - but I admit, I didn't know _half_ of the info here. Which is great, since I love learning new dinosaur facts!
the fact that 99% of all life to have ever existed are now extinct, and very little fossilized remains can ever be recovered is just such a tragedy...
But it is not a tragedy since if those extinct animals still existed, the ones of today wouldn't exist.
@@velocassini that's a very good point...
Herrera’s have always been my favorite “dinosaur”(?) and hearing them get some kind of spotlight is really amazing!! 🎉
"Chris Pratt makes nothing worse" is the hottest take you ever made in this channel.
My day just got better
I will die on the hill that the lost world is the most boring and lame of the JP sequels and that Jeff Goldblum is an equally bland actor
I completely agree with Clint's take on Jurassic Park and it's sequels.
your enthusiasm enhances every video - great work as always
Thank you for standing up and correcting misconceptions about my kind, Clint
👀👀👀👀 omg I want one of those music boxes. That song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. So nostalgic.
Yes yes Carnotaurus episode soon
Could listen to Clint talk about dinosaurs, theropods and contentious ones especially, for hours.
I've been looking forward to dinosaur all year!!! These videos make my day!
Have you considered ever doing a phylogeny on the sauropoda? They contain my two favorite dinosaurs, Brachosaurus and the more contentious (in the way that it's exact relationship with other sauropod is a little messy), the isanosaurus.
I absolutely LOVE the humor in these. 😂❤
I stopped watching pet reptile content a while ago. I just noticed recently how much you’re expanding into other stuff. I’m really enjoying your videos on phylogeny.
Hello Clint! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I'm genuinely sorry I can't support you on Patreon at the moment - you truly deserve it! Your passion and enthusiasm for science is incredibly inspiring, and it always brightens my day. Picking a favorite dinosaur is tough with so many fascinating options, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey of discovery with your guidance. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Wishing you happy holidays and looking forward to more amazing content!
I love the Jurassic Park theme the composer did such an awesome job. The undertones of the music are so sad like they shouldn't exist it's just a really really good soundtrack
I was getting Banana Muffins... Imaginary muffins vibes with Clint's Ridge wallet bit. I loved it!!
My favourite dinosaur is Australovenator!
Carnotaurus and the abelisaurids defintely deserve their own video! Other than the squamates, I cant think of any other group of animals that have reduced their forelimbs to the point of being near vestigial...talk about the horned sausages on beefy legs!
Yay! It sounds like we’ll be digging into Spinosaurus! I really appreciate all of the research that goes into these videos. You’ve waded through and distilled a lot of theories into something comprehensive and accessible and it’s just great.
The outro music box... Magical truly
Your review of Jurassic Park franchise is spot on I need zero explanation. Although I would like to hear you talk about it regardless so yes, make that video please.
I'd argue that there are no good Jurassic Park Sequels, unless you're talking books. Then "The Lost World", the book, is pretty good.
Allosaurus mentioned ! 🎉
Ahhhh, good episode. Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus were my favorite theropods and their groups really did make it into the cretaceous as things like giganotosaurs and abeliosaurs... etc. So fun! Early tyrannosaurids had more fingers (I guess coelosaurs really at that point). I do also like the lighter tyrannosaurids, like gorgosaurus (albeertasaurs).
And yeah, I know my name spelling stinks.
Also, I should have finished WATCHING your video before commenting. LOL
The music box bit made me tear up a little, not going to lie. Nostalgia~
I am into dinosaurs, why I am so excited about this video and the previous one! If there was time and I didn't just wake up, I would totally name off like 400 of them!
I would LOVE a ceratosauria video! My favorite dinosaur group!!!
Love it when you talk Palio to me
Thanks Clint and Team! Love the various film references. Best of the Season!
This video is so well structured! Thank you very much. I would love more indepth video like this about dinosaur (or orther animal's) systematic
Please, PLEASE make some dinosaur videos, Clint!!
(Also, do you play The Isle or Path of Titans?)
THANK YOUUUUUUUUU!!! I've been waiting for one of these videos from you! Keep making theropod videos! Would it be wrong to speculate that the AnimalCon video had something to do with this? No one really had any very unusual favorite dinosaurs (no offense to anyone). 😁
Oh, what is your favorite maker of dinosaur/animal figures? I was trying to guess if your dino toys in the video on your desk were from Schleich.
I've been binging these videos lately, and your enthusiasm for all of the animals I've heard you talk about is contagious! Have you ever talked about hell pigs, or the evolution of whales before? I only recently started to hear about hell pigs (and that they bear some relation to modern whales) and would like to learn more about them
I really hope you make that video on Ceratosauria Clint!! There are SO MANY cool dinosaurs in this clade and so many of them are rarely covered on TH-cam.
You probably were already going to mention this spinosaur in the spinosaurid video, but PLEASE talk about the irritator. The story behind it is amazing and the research on the jaw is very interesting.
