    About the gliding dimetrodons: It was made as a joke. It’s still hilarious though 😂

    Oh, if you think that plesiosaur in the first picture is bad, wait till you read the book this is from - Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. The ichthyosaur's descriptionis fine by what was known at the time, but the plesiosaur - it has a carapace. explicitly described as some sort of long-necked turtle.
    As for animal identification services and miscellaneous stuff:
    2:40 Iguanodon
    2:50 Pterosaur from the brief period it was thought they might have been mammals
    5:10 Laelaps (now Dryptosaurus)
    6:23 Early attempt at Hadrosaurs
    13:50 Yup, Iguanodon again (Megalosaurus did not have a horn)
    18:20 Edaphosaurus (with its eyes in the one place in its skull where there isn't even an opening)
    21:00 Scelidosaurus
    23:04 Okay, I assume this image is from Germany. In German, plesiosaurs were regularly called "swan-neck lizards" and so, someone ended up being too literal again
    29:14 Hypsilophodon
    38:48 Oh boy, I own this book. This is a creationist book trying to argue dragons are dinosaurs that lived alongside humans.

    18:08 "why would all these creatures be together?"
    Clearly, they've met up to discuss the volcano erupting and what to do about it. And their conclusion was evidently "get in a time machine and go and live in a different period".

    In the second image the animal that looks like it was "ran over by a car" is (believe it or not) an Elasmosaurus! When first discovered it was incorrectly reconstructed with the vertebrae backwards so the head was on the end of the tail, thus the short neck. Short-neck Elasmosaurus makes a comeback in image four where it appears with Dryptosaurus, the theropod you couldn't identify.
    The chillin critter o the rock is old fashioned Megalosaurus and the "bat cosplay" is a pterodactyl because at this time the prevalent theory was that pterosaurs were flying marsupials instead of reptiles.

    38:49... back in my days as a braindead creationist, I had a couple of books with weird biblical explanations about dinosaurs. That image is from one of those books. One of them also touted the T. Rex could've been a vegetarian because some monkeys today that eat mostly fruit have sharp canines (yes... that was the literal backing for that claim), totally ignoring any evidence we have that it was definitely a carnivore.

Also I subbed :) I agree, alot of this is inaccurate, also if I'm going to be honest everything about Dinosaurs (paleowize) is all theories, cause at the end of the day we can't prove anything because we can't go back in time to prove these things, all we and the scientists can do is guess

    When you think about it.... makes sense that ancient reptiles such as dinosaurs were given dragon type features. Until we know what these prehistoric creatures were, the depiction of dragons in legend and folklore would've been a proper analogy for dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and prehistoric sea reptiles.

      An animal that needs more attention, though one wonders however that if such sails were developed to catch as much heat from the sun, how frigid was the wind?
      As weird as that sound, and as terrible as it sounds, on a personal account, I had a case where there was warm sun but the air and wind were frigid, not a coat for warmth but a coat to block the wind.
