You can’t really fault that guy who reconstructed the first dinosaur found, he couldn’t have done much better.
Especially given the few bones he had to go on. Made sense to compare it to something that exists and make it close to that.
I know, I just find it crazy how far we have come in paleontology to the point where something even 10 years old (not how old this reconstruction is, just an example)can be seriously out of place and inaccurate.

Doyouthinkhesaurus?
The inaccurate mammoth reconstruction that looks like a warthog is one of my favorite pieces of paleo just because of how bad it is.
Also, one of the big problems with David Peters is that, despite his reconstructions being highly inaccurate, they are very official looking. With some species of pterosaur, his reconstructions come up in the first few results on google. To people who don't know much about pterosaurs, it can be convincing.
I'm honestly impressed they first 2 dinos discovered were as accurate as they were, given how few bones they had to work with
I did some research and apparently the 'gliding Ankylosaurus' one is actually part of a children's book and part of a quiz in which the children had to guess which dinosaur didn't exist... I feel a bit relieved that it wasn't supposed to be real in the first place because I spent so many minutes staring at it thinking 'who the f made this?! Were they drunk?'
Should have realized that when I saw the Rhedosaurus
which is a fictional Movie monster that never existed as well
*I kind of wish someone made that legitimately*
@@attackheat4255 Hilariously, the gliding ankylosaur kinda looks like Varan, another fictional movie monster!
Lol
😂
Haha.
I remember the gliding ankylosaur, it was in a children's book. The section that displayed it was in fact some kind of activity where you had to guess which dinosaurs were real or fictional, and so the ankylosaur was intentionally designed to be inaccurate.
Thank god I needed an explanation for that one
I though it could be from the movie the beast from 20000 leagues due to the Rhedosaurus but cool!
I thought it was Varan from the Godzilla movies
Yea i can confirm that as truth tho i had a different book with Swedish instead of the english writing so i guess there are multiple languages for the book
the best part is it is technically real, aeolosaurus is a sauropod.
I vividly remember being taught in primary school (in the 1980s) that some dinosaurs had secondary brains in their tails.
The reason given was that they were so large that it took too long for information to pass all the way to the head (and back), so they had a second brain at the other end to increase reaction times.
Man that's crazy, I wonder how the teachers felt when the findings came out
@@flyingstonemon3564 They probably still think it's true.
@@superscatboy To be fair that's likely yeah. It's hard to feel you may have taught misinformation when just doing your normal job
@@flyingstonemon3564 I was thinking more that I doubt they ever even found out that they were wrong.
@@superscatboy Oh. Yeah that too.
That mammoth literally had a leg growing out of its lower jaw.
Respect for William Buckland.
Even though he got it wrong, he used what little fossil evidence he had and his knowledge of modern animals to form a logical conclusion.
Aren't you supposed to be dead?
yeah, I'd give the naturalists of the 18th and 19th centuries a pass. they knew next to nothing about biology o even anatomy, outside common animals, let alone geology or the age of the Earth. Evolution and plate tectonics weren't a thing yet. Most scientists would have been creationists still. and surely struggled to find an explanation for all these new discoveries.
Right! Unlike Darwin who used the geological theory of Uniformitarianism to act as his theory's foundation to give Natural Selection the time and justification it needed to even make sense. The Theory of natural selection was based on the viability of Uniformitarianism. Of Course now that that theory has been over turned all the scientific community have adjusted their perspective on evolution. Not!!!!! What this video shows is that the scientific community is slow to discard theories that have become embedded in the mainstream even if evidence that counters their perspectives appear. Not all scientists are ego less searchers for truth, but rather often opportunists who often claim supposition as fact long before enough information is available to justify any conclusion.
WILTALK THIS COMMENT IS CANCER
Wiltalk - I think you meant to say creationists
I love how genuinely enraged you sounded while talking about David Peters
I mean I was physically repulsed and confused
The guy seems like a talented illustrator, it's a shame he's deluded himself into believing he's some sort of fossil reconstruction genius.
That Peters guy is a massive troll.
I think his consept arts were great for science fiction...
"Today, we are the fighting the category V kaiju, code-named named "Petersquama". It can use its signature ability, Reality bend, allowing him to nullify convergent evolution ,reality and aerodynamics.
david peters should take up designing aliens for fiction, because the one positive i see in his work is that it is an extremely creative interpretation of bones that are so obvious to us.
It's funny to think about how much we're still getting wrong. From spinosaurus, to the fact that when this video came out, everyone thought T. Rex must've been almost completely covered in feathers. I'm curious to see how much closer we'll be to accurate reconstructions in the next 20 years.

Incorrect yes, but less incorrect.
Deinocherius: To be fair, I remember reading about this one while we only had the arms, and the "predator with giant hands" reconstruction was always seen as one *posibility*. Since the beggining, the paleontologists thought "well, either this thing had disproportionately big arms, or the whole animal was pretty big". Turns out, it was the later.
Dude really went back and added chapters to a 6 year old video, mad respect. I wish more youtubers would do that
It’s autogenerated.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor I’m gonna be real with you, considering how crappy TH-cam’s auto captions are I do not think they can auto generate chapters so specific (especially with the last one)
“This dinosaur had a small brain, must have a second brain”
I think it didn’t matter.
maybe it was derived from the fact that bird's like kea's or ravens can be very intelligent with their "birdbrains"and it is hardly fair that humans needs such huge energy absorbing brains to get things done
@@kamion53 did a bird type this?
it kind of is fair, we can talk and think much better than any crow can, so it's only fair that we spend more energy.
Daniel Ferreira, actually, crows and ravens have so many noises they might actually have a very complex language similar to dolphins and even humans.
The person who reconstructed that had no brains
4:03 Cave people drew mammoths, what in the heck were these so-called scientists thinking!
I don't think they discovered the cave drawings until the early 1900s I heard somewhere it was discovered when two boys fell into a hole and found it
I'll let that slide then. But still pretty ridiculous looking even without a template.
I know it's like a giant warthog and the stegosuarus one is even worse

I actually had that last book when i was a kid. The reconstruction is false on purpouse. The reader was supposed to tell the wrong ones!
I just find it funny how they are like " this is definitely how they looked!" Despite being wrong in the past lmao like what the fuck we have never seen a living one in person so it is a lot of guess work
@@masoniclight364 Yeah, paleontology is such a dumb science, isn't it? Why should we bother studying these animals to get a better idea of how they looked when we could just throw all that research aside and make stuff up just because some mistakes were made in the past?
If you couldn't tell, I'm being sarcastic.
@@CJCroen1393 yeah I could tell, I think it is still good to try to understand it all but what i dislike is that when we think we know it we like to state it as fact. We should be more cautious since we can never be 100% certain
@@masoniclight364 Sometimes we can, actually, or at least we can be EXTREMELY close to 100%. Anchiornis and Psittacosaurus are good examples; found their colors, Psittacosaurus' skin texture and Anchiornis' plumage arrangements and everything. While maybe we can't be 100% certain even in those cases, we can still be confident enough that we've figured something out there. And if it turns out the scientists were wrong, they _correct their mistakes._
Yup. That's also why it's next to "Rhedosaurus", which is the name of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.
I would love to see late paleontologists looking at modern reconstructions of dinosaurs if they still want to debate.
9:10 seeing those early depictions of brontosaurus even if incorrect can see how they could have thought this was a possibility
I like David Peter's work -- not as accurate reconstructions but as abstract art pieces.
it would make incredible Sci-fi, however, he tries to pass it on as just Sci
He has a TH-cam channel- I’m so scared
It's intentionally wrong, but creative reconstructions of dinosaur fossils. Fans have actually made art similar and a book called "All Your Yesterdays" was released with fan depictions. Turns out one of them was true and led paleontologists to a better theory on cetiocaridae
I know, right? David Peter's work would be really cool not just as art, but as a bit of commentary on how fossil reconstruction can be very different from what is commonly accepted. But nah, he's just insane.

@@cookeymonster83 no, while generally schooled scientists were richer people, that was mainly because education wasn't as widely available as it is now. As such was harder to get into, if you were good enough at something the college would give you a scholarship(this is how mendeleeve got his education), also quite a few discoveries were made by farmers who tinkered or explored in their down time,and they are given credit for this, and called scientists, as they followed the same principles when doing scientific work.

“There are no accidents” - Master Oogway
To be fair to anyone snarking at Buckland, the guy was the first effort ever and he was working with scraps not even remotely resembling a quarter of a full skeleton. He did the best he could. No first effort is a ballpark home run, go look at the first airplane designs to see what I'm talking about.
That's true, I wish I didn't make fun of these early scientists. It's extremely difficult to reconstruct something that has never been seen before and is unlike anything still alive.
Oh I wasn't accusing you of doing it, it was more a memo to the other comment makers since I notice those sort of things often on forums. Buckland's stuff does correctly belong here as, while it was a good effort, it was greatly off the mark.
An honorable mention for later maybe if you remake this video? The first Mastodon reconstruction had the tusks pointing upside down as a pair of enormous fangs and it was thought to be carnivorous due to the raised molars. The belief persisted until the 1800s and given the species was thought to persist in the western North American continent, actually freaked a lot of people out.
I’d actually adore to see completely straight faced documentaries with these old styled creatures made nowadays, they’re so unique in my opinion and I have a soft spot for the old, savage, primal style of dinosaurs where the world was alien and merciless. And just to get that old fashioned feel make it stop motion
Somebody might have already pointed it out, but as far as I know, the scientific consensus today is that, after feathers were indeed put into consideration, Tyrannosaurus turned out to be featherless after all. If I remember correctly this conclusion was based on the fact that all skin impressions of it (head, tail, spine and more parts) lack feather impressions and show a scaly skin structure. I gotta say though that I lack the time to search for citations at the moment. If anybody looks it up, feel free to comment
A lot of dinosaurs having feathers instead of scales is one of the great tragedies of my life.
Birds can be still pretty terrifying. Ever seen a shoebill or a seagull covered in blood? Imagine those things being the size of dinosaurs and tell me it's still not sick af. :)

I love ALL your videos! I've been binging on them. found your channel through your "appearance" on one of Mr Beat's videos. I also enjoy your sketches a lot!
when he first said Tripod Stegosaurus, I thought of it having 2 legs in the back and one in the front...
Blazefur Me to. I thought they had misplaced one of the front legs.
I still dont understand the statement, the picture shows a four legged creature (we can see the front right hand of the beast). Any idea?
Gu Del, the tripod stance i'sint refering to the number of legs. The stegosaurus had two legs and its tail on the ground, meaning it had three points of contact with the ground making it a tripod stance.
Giant 3 legged stegosauruses with death rays from Mars.
That would be the best reconstruction ever.

the absolute venom behind your delivery of david peters name is completely understandable lmao
It’s crazy how outlandish all of these reconstructions are to us today. Absolutely insane how far science has come.

Imagine this guy saying
"Yeeeees?"
Why did I laugh so hard at this
Mans be like 👁v👁

2015 Tyrannosaurus: "Feathers owo"
2021 Tyrannosaurus: "no."
I play ark so feathers ain’t a rex thing
Ark 2 rex has some feather things atleast
Schrödinger's Feathers : A Story of T-Rex Reconstruction
Tyrannosaurus may have had feathers.
@@ekosubandie2094 pretty sure baby T.rexes and young T.rexes had feathers adults didn't.
8 yrs later and a feathered t-rex is sent back to the land of fairytales. (but still a lot of other dinosaur species did have feathers)
6:44 Pervertosaurus
the picture shown at 1:59 looks like there are 2 extremely outdated dinosaurs dancing.
+Sinai Leventhal Yeah and the other ones are leaving because they missed their chance.
In seeing more than one that and it’s nasty
The Ankylosaurus was a fake dinosaur in the textbook, basically a quiz of "which dinosaur is real?"
If you want flying thyreophorans, look no farther than the Gliding stegosaurus of 1920
Great job men!!!
I love you content
British people be like: a'ha, wot etchiots, funy li'le bloke
That last one from the textbook, if I recall correctly is taken out of context: It came from a section in the book that was asking "Which one of these is NOT a real dinosaur?"
The "flying possum" pterodactyls are my favorites X3 They may be inaccurate but they're so dang cute!
And thank you for putting David "Crackpot Who Thinks He Knows Everything" Peters in there.
CJCroen1393 David Peters is like Erich von Daniken of paleontology :p
CJCroen1393 As I was watching this, I was thinking it might be fun to come up with intentionally ridiculous reconstructions of ancient life. Not to pass them off as accurate, but for comic effect. I doubt I could out-do Peters for comic effect, though. This is the first I've heard of him, and I can only half-believe he believes his versions are anything but Cthulu-esque fantasies.
CJCroen- What killed of the "flying Possum pterodactyles is obvious. In the process of playing possum ( dead ) they forgot they were only acting and actually died.
+Wiltalk Or maybe they played possum while flying.
I think David Peters is better off being an artist... although his reconstructions are inaccurate, those dinosaurs of his are-admit it-AWESOME looking! That guy's creative! :P
I personally wouldn't say awesome, but they are very creative. A theme park could be made with those things.
@@_Yuputka_ they are just so bizarre and strange, I'm forced to like them, make a museum using his art it's honestly one of the one creative things I've ever seen
Let's be real, they're disgusting
I had totally forgotten about the brain in the tail thing, pretty sure I remember 'learning' that growing up
4:51 ... That 'Allosaurus" drawing on the left is absolutely awesome! Now that's a straight up MONSTER!
8:02
Wait. Is that? No way. It's... It's... IT'S... It's Godzilla! Run!
Cryptid Liker HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Ok
Cryptid Liker this is actually the inspiration of him so you’re not wrong. At least Marsh’s incorrect reconstruction became useful
Interestingly enough, in the 1993 movie "Godzilla VS Mechagodzilla", there's this curious plot point where scientists discover that the very stegosaur-ish Godzilla also possesses a secondary brain in the base of his tail. Although whether or not there is a connection to the two-brain-hypothesis I don't know.

Dude it's a Mamoswine!
Underrated comment right here.
OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU ARE RIGHT
Its funny since Mamoswine is literally a elephant-hog thing
I notice a pattern here:
Today's "We now know" will likely be contradicted by tomorrow's "We now know".
Ok, 6 years late. Nice video, cool music, nice stuff. Keep it up. Im a fan already.
