@@blooky102 Yes, some people do believe large dinosaurs didn't have feathers due to issues with heat retention, however, it's inaccurate due to the comparison between dinosaurs and large mammals.

You deserve better recognition.
Tough u must take that aliens doesnt know how the animals in earth look and if they get to get there they Will be for sure inteligent si they probaly Will try yo search for a life form or try to create it to look like the fauna in their planet
Since it looks like nobody has done so yet, I'll recommend the book "All Yesterdays," by John Conway, C.M. Kosemen, and Darren Nash. The book takes new views on dinosaurs based off of extant life, and speculates as to how paleontologists of the distant future would reconstruct today's animals based off of their skeletons, similar to this video.
💀I actually guessed that skull was going to be from a pug. It's quite disturbing how humans have bred dogs to have such extreme features. IIRC, certain breeds have such a messed up skull that their eyeballs can actually fall out of their head relatively easily
Good thing they're fixing the pugs, and the like, to be able to breath better. But yes, people done it because it looks "cute" like a baby. Some don't care about health problems, only $$
I truly hate it when pet shops breed their cats to have so short limbs so that their belly almost touches the ground just to satisfy their rich customers
Exactly like what's next, people breeding parrots to not have wings so they don't fly around and don't have to clip their feathers? Why do I actually think that would happen or would have happened. If you don't want a pet to do or have something, it's born with your not ready for that pet
What if you actually practised drawing the real animals around their skeletons? With enough practise, would you get close to the real animal without knowing what animal it is? I think that would be a cool AI experiment. You could train an AI to generate the animal based on the skeleton. You could even verify how well it works by giving it a known animal that it has never seen before.
Interesting detail: most of these skulls, while strange, still give of the feeling that they evolved naturally and are intended for a specific purpose. Aaaaand then we get to the pug, which is just straight up deformed and grotesque. It's sad to see how much humans can f*ck up an animal just to appeal to some vain ideal of cuteness. Also, no one in their right mind would mistake that monstrosity for a rodent. Rodents have very distinct teeth, possessing four incisors (two in the upper and lower jaw respectively)at the front of the mouth and a large gap between them and the three molars present in each corner of the jaw
I knew that pugs were screwed up in the facial area but seeing their skull makes it look worse, it almost feels like it's out of a cartoon or something
well actually mammals are literally the only if not then one of the few who has such complex soft tissue as opposed for the skull...check a crocodile and its skull or a bird the head is very similar in flesh to the actual skull and these dudes are the closest relatives of dinosaurs with birds actually being a type of dinosaur...the most complex thing we found in a dinosaur we could not tell from its fossils aside from the feathers and stuff is fleshy chicken like comb trace from edmontosaurus regalis and studies on sauropod skulls suggesting that the big empty area that we see on the heads was filled making the nostrils be at the end of the snout like most land animals and that area would be filled with flesh probably forming some kind of bump
Paleontologist don't sit on a drawing pad with free imaginary mind and start drawing something out of creativity If you have fossil then you can actually find out where muscles were attached where fat was stored etc Even if they are not 100% accurate they aren't this much inaccurate
It's actually a neat idea to come up with monster designs by finding a photo of some random skull and trying to figure it how it might have looked like. The end results actually look somewhat realistic and make sense.
3:02 I couldn’t disagree more well done, accurate plumed dinosaur art looks awesome! Dromeosaurs (rapters) in particular look very reminiscent of an eagle if eagles ran instead of flew.
I do enjoy this art and representation . I still have the belief that if we were to find these skulls this day, we would most likely draw something similar to these alien representations. Not being angry or something I just think this is an interesting concept
Actually, no. The reason why the word "aliens" were used instead of "future paleontologists" is that we have a better understanding of how to reconstruct mammalian and reptilian skulls. This is also more of a critic about older dinosaur reconstructions, such as jurassic park, which had a tendency of shrink-wrapping it's animals, a thing that modern paleoartists do not make anymore.
I've been to enough museums to be able to identify all the mammal skulls 😀 It's so cool how distinct manatee and dugong skulls actually are from each other, they're probably easier to distinguish than the animals in the flesh!

Okay this is a hilarious premise Aliens living 65 million light years away sent a signal 65 million years ago to earth and it just comes back, they arrive on earth and dig up some fossils and assume they are all dinosaurs, this is in 1947 and when one of the aliens gets drunk he lands in New Mexico!
I've seen similar. The (excellent) Worldwar series uses something similar: The aliens send a probe to earth and it sends back more promising findings: Intelligent life, civilisation, but not technologically advanced. Horses for transport, wooden ships, knights swinging swords. A world perfect for conquest! Should be an easy task: Just turn up, drop a few bombs, and the superstitious natives will be practically venerating them in no time! But the aliens are by nature very conservative, reluctant to accept change, and patient. They take generations to build their war-fleet, and centuries more making the long journey between the stars. No reason to hurry - it took them a thousand years to go from their first powered aircraft to the first space flight, and they assume that all intelligent species are similar to themselves. Their warfleet arrives in the middle of World War 2, faced with industrialised nations already running a war economy and churning out new weapons. The invasion does not go so smoothly as anticipated.
I suppose if all we ever found of every animal were skulls, it could be a problem. Also, if you ignore the signs of attachment points for tendons, ligaments, and keratin. Also, this really stresses the importance of continually searching for more evidence and rejecting old ideas when new evidence demonstrates their falsity.
I grew up loving dinosaurs, the feathered ones are way cooler than the ones I grew up with in my opinion. They’re alive, full of flesh, color, realism. They look great with feathers actually. They just have to be drawn correctly.
Paleontologists are a *little* smarter than just painting the bones. They can deduce positions of muscles from telltales on the bones and modern animals. The outer shape of the animals can sometimes be deduced from material surrounding the bones. Aquatic animals can be told apart from land animals by a multitude of hints, but simply the location and other fossils around it may already give a strong indication. And obviously, there is a lot of stuff that I don't know about that is likely to help them fill the gaps as well.
Sorry to ruin the joy of not getting the joke for you, but when someone tells the story of two tomatoes crossing a street, do you also remind everyone that actually vegetables aren't supposed to walk and talk?
What remains would these Aliens find from human civilization if we suddenly died out and how would their recreation of man's World look like? Now this is something to be asked here!
As an artist the only issue I have is these assumptions being traced over the skulls without the thought of muscles. Being drawn in as a basis for shape. Other than that wow these surprised me even by imagining those steps, not what I was expecting.
@@mirandatagliamonte9754 it's kinda weird that when one time we went to a dinosaur replica museum when I was a high school student. There was one kid who was bitching and crying about the trex not looking like that. He insists that the trex is supposed to have greenish dark blue feathers up to its ankle. The teeth is covered in a thin sheet of lips and they have mohawk combs. We were laughing our asses because he was describing a chicken.
Exactly! It's not like the T-Rex looked like a big floofy chicken, it likely just had a cool haircut consisting of feathers which looked more like hair
@@henry_alphonse Not to mention that its feathers might have had "tactical colors" (colors that could have helped the T.rex blend into its enviroment).
@@garberasandor9699 Even if you don’t like full dino fuzz Rex then I will have you know that ones that lived in hotter climates didn’t or had some feathers.
id just like to point out, that an animal cannot be a dinosaur, and a relative of a crocodile at the same time. :3 also if one more person trashes on dinosaurs having feathers now IM GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE EXTINCT-
This is a great video. People’s concept of past creatures is 99% artist rendition. It’s really nuts when the have only a handful of bones and the draw the whole creature and even it’s surrounding environment.
Realistically they'll probably find some kinda of reminents of our civilisation, with images of us or an animal or two that'd inform their thought process about how every other animal could conceivably look, most likely they'd create simulations of our world using the little data they collected, and map out all of the stuff we have sent into space, find those gold disks and that'd inform them about how we and the animals of earth look
Science can definitely assume more accurately by the tiniest of details, but under the assumption the alien zoologist didn’t have that expertise this video is great
I really like the idea of a whale like spinosaurus in the waters, king of the lakes. Maybe they started as terrestrial juveniles that overtime became aquatic as they grew(this is just wild speculation) I don’t care what any one says, but a robust theropod is better than a feathered one. T H E M O R E Y O U N O S E
@@justusb.plorer8773 in the video, he says he thinks a overly robust theropod is still more appleasing than a feathered (large) theropod. I do accept feathers on Tyrannosaurs even though unlikely, but on spinosaurus , it's hideous and illogical
Some interesting information. Bone structure difers in places where soft tissue is atached to the places where it is covered motly by skin. Of course this does not mean that a recreation would be corect but it prevents joust skinwraping whatever skull is found. Bones also show muscle atachment points from which we can infere how masive that muscle likley was. Scaning skulls can also tell us a lot. It can tell us where the holes go and how they conect often rulling out things they could be. It can also see nerve chanels how big they are and where they lead to in the brain cavity. For example the elephant skull. It would be clear that the only hole that conects properly for a nose is the big one in the midle. That there is a big nerve chanel to the brain cavity where its joust skin over the hole. Meaning it would either be the ear or the eye. It should be reasonably easy to deduct which it is considering that they should also find big nerve chanels somwhat at the back of the skull and eyes that point backwards joust dont make sense (especialy as it is unpresedented in all other mamal species). They should also find that the places where the nose is now does not conect in a way that would make sense. All together we can also say that the long neck in the video is very likley not posible as the weight distribution as of our curent knowledge about how bodys work would fuck him up. We can estimate a max weight from the estimated leg muscle size. This is not 100% accurate but helps us to call bulshit when sombody sudenly sugest a body plan that is 2 - 3x the estimates max. So he could not stand up and nor lif his neck even if he could. What is well posible is that he might have a skinflap the lenght of the throat. This would help them cool of (not much shrface for the volume). It could also be colorfull to atract mates and make them apear more masive than they are. This is somthing that we will never be able to tell unless we have the incredible luck to find one mumified. But they can tell you that it cant weigh 3 times what the bones should be able to suport Now of course this wont stop us from recreating things wrong. We can never say how much soft tisue even if we know that it was atached. But it can stop us from making to many extreme mistakes. And of course many recreations are first made when the amount of remains is really small. They got a femur, a hip fragment and 4 vertebrae! I could not even begin to gues what kind of animal that could be but they are allready making recreations. Of course these are the experts but they are bound to make mistakes with so litle to work with.
When I was a kid,I used to wonder if an alien saw a human skull for the first time, reconstructed what they thought we looked like and create a ghastly creature with bulging eyes and a permanent grimace. T- Rex probably had lips like out modern reptiles and didn't walk around with exposed teeth like in the old films and crocodiles. This was fun. Thanks.
Hey, I have an idea! Can you do one sometime where the animal skull is of a real viscious apex predator, and the alien thinks that it's something cute and cuddly? XD

Aquatic animals can be told apart from land animals by a multitude of hints, but simply the location and other fossils around it may already give a strong indication. And obviously, there is a lot of stuff that I don't know about that is likely to help them fill the gaps as well.
Sorry to ruin the joy of not getting the joke for you, but when someone tells the story of two tomatoes crossing a street, do you also remind everyone that actually vegetables aren't supposed to walk and talk?
@@Eppu_Paranormaali he's the type of person to point out the movie is all fake when it's obviously supposed to be fictional
What remains would these Aliens find from human civilization if we suddenly died out and how would their recreation of man's World look like? Now this is something to be asked here!
Proud to admit I instantly recognized both the pug and elephant skulls.
Pug skull looks like it belongs to a Crash Bandicoot character :( poor things
As an artist the only issue I have is these assumptions being traced over the skulls without the thought of muscles. Being drawn in as a basis for shape.
Other than that wow these surprised me even by imagining those steps, not what I was expecting.
This channel needs so much more attention.
Rick Astley?
I like the classic talk XD 6:54
Very good drawings!
I can't respect people who don't accept feathered dinosaurs
Indeed.
They're morons indeed
They look better if they are not hairless
Giant birds with teeth are way more interesting than emaciated lizards
@@mirandatagliamonte9754 it's kinda weird that when one time we went to a dinosaur replica museum when I was a high school student. There was one kid who was bitching and crying about the trex not looking like that. He insists that the trex is supposed to have greenish dark blue feathers up to its ankle. The teeth is covered in a thin sheet of lips and they have mohawk combs. We were laughing our asses because he was describing a chicken.
Feathered dinosaurs are not a crime against aesthetics, they boost aesthetics
Exactly! It's not like the T-Rex looked like a big floofy chicken, it likely just had a cool haircut consisting of feathers which looked more like hair
@@henry_alphonse Not to mention that its feathers might have had "tactical colors" (colors that could have helped the T.rex blend into its enviroment).
@@garberasandor9699 Even if you don’t like full dino fuzz Rex then I will have you know that ones that lived in hotter climates didn’t or had some feathers.
hes never seen a pretty bird ever, i guess
@@henry_alphonse I didn't even realize theropods had feathers, I thought it was just raptors
I see very little difference between the sketch and the actual pug picture 🤔
It's a man that's never gonna give you up, let you down or desert you, Rick Astley
This channel's humor is underrated
So the missing link was a pig tooth?
Then again, forensics use pigs as substitutes for humans all the time, so it couldn’t be too far fetched.
And according to cannibals we taste like pork, it really makes you think
@@quijotapazos2750 “long pig”
@@quijotapazos2750 we have similar omnivorous diets, and diet is the main factor of how an animal tastes.
When gem of a channel did I found in my feed
Just got this recommended to me, I love seeing shrink-wrapped modern animals. :3
This is one of the coolest and most creative Videos I've ever seen
This guy drew creatures better than they evolved
1:27 well to be fair, the Doctor IS from another planet, so replacing him with an alien in that graphic was redundant, lol
Hippos are still something that you don't want to mess with 0:12
Oh, i find gold in my recomendations of YT,great Channel sir
id just like to point out, that an animal cannot be a dinosaur, and a relative of a crocodile at the same time. :3
also if one more person trashes on dinosaurs having feathers now IM GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE EXTINCT-
This is a great video. People’s concept of past creatures is 99% artist rendition. It’s really nuts when the have only a handful of bones and the draw the whole creature and even it’s surrounding environment.
8:49 missed opportunity to make a bone pun
You know, you're not wrong
1:20 wtf that caught me off guard 😂😂😂
This channel is do freaking underrated
I can tell you this man's never been attacked by a pissed off rooster.
Little raptors.
Realistically they'll probably find some kinda of reminents of our civilisation, with images of us or an animal or two that'd inform their thought process about how every other animal could conceivably look, most likely they'd create simulations of our world using the little data they collected, and map out all of the stuff we have sent into space, find those gold disks and that'd inform them about how we and the animals of earth look
Strange fossil: *exists*
Alien paleontologist: That's a dinossaur!
Science can definitely assume more accurately by the tiniest of details, but under the assumption the alien zoologist didn’t have that expertise this video is great
"Science" and "assume" are diametrically opposed.
@@Selrisitai yeah well I don’t even know wtf I was trying to say here so jokes on you
@@Selrisitai and no it’s not. What we think dinosaurs look like are still an assumption. Even if we are correct.
This video made me question every depiction of extinct animals that humanity has never seen alive
I really like the idea of a whale like spinosaurus in the waters, king of the lakes. Maybe they started as terrestrial juveniles that overtime became aquatic as they grew(this is just wild speculation) I don’t care what any one says, but a robust theropod is better than a feathered one.
T H E M O R E Y O U N O S E
C H O N K Y F I S H E A T E R
Since when are the terms "robust" and "featherd" mutually exclusive?
@@justusb.plorer8773 in the video, he says he thinks a overly robust theropod is still more appleasing than a feathered (large) theropod. I do accept feathers on Tyrannosaurs even though unlikely, but on spinosaurus , it's hideous and illogical
@@stegotyranno4206 Fair enough, you seem like a better person than harry gold.
Maybe it was a dolphin faced seal type creature
That caricature is most certainly Rick Astley. My immediate reflexes told me I was being rick rolled.
So many people don't get the joke and I'm very disappointed
Agreed lol
These creature designs would be perfect for Star Wars.
@@SatanenPerkele 😭
This also implies that the t-rex could have possibly been a literal chonk of feathers.
Some interesting information.
Bone structure difers in places where soft tissue is atached to the places where it is covered motly by skin. Of course this does not mean that a recreation would be corect but it prevents joust skinwraping whatever skull is found.
Bones also show muscle atachment points from which we can infere how masive that muscle likley was.
Scaning skulls can also tell us a lot. It can tell us where the holes go and how they conect often rulling out things they could be. It can also see nerve chanels how big they are and where they lead to in the brain cavity.
For example the elephant skull. It would be clear that the only hole that conects properly for a nose is the big one in the midle. That there is a big nerve chanel to the brain cavity where its joust skin over the hole. Meaning it would either be the ear or the eye. It should be reasonably easy to deduct which it is considering that they should also find big nerve chanels somwhat at the back of the skull and eyes that point backwards joust dont make sense (especialy as it is unpresedented in all other mamal species). They should also find that the places where the nose is now does not conect in a way that would make sense.
All together we can also say that the long neck in the video is very likley not posible as the weight distribution as of our curent knowledge about how bodys work would fuck him up. We can estimate a max weight from the estimated leg muscle size. This is not 100% accurate but helps us to call bulshit when sombody sudenly sugest a body plan that is 2 - 3x the estimates max. So he could not stand up and nor lif his neck even if he could. What is well posible is that he might have a skinflap the lenght of the throat. This would help them cool of (not much shrface for the volume). It could also be colorfull to atract mates and make them apear more masive than they are. This is somthing that we will never be able to tell unless we have the incredible luck to find one mumified. But they can tell you that it cant weigh 3 times what the bones should be able to suport
Now of course this wont stop us from recreating things wrong. We can never say how much soft tisue even if we know that it was atached. But it can stop us from making to many extreme mistakes. And of course many recreations are first made when the amount of remains is really small. They got a femur, a hip fragment and 4 vertebrae! I could not even begin to gues what kind of animal that could be but they are allready making recreations. Of course these are the experts but they are bound to make mistakes with so litle to work with.
What if every prehistoric synapsid actually looked like a hippo?
This is 2 years old and it's in my recommendations now? Clearly I've been missing out. Nice humor and style.
*Never gonna rick you up!*
9:20 T. rex (Tyrannosaurus rex) Didn't have feathers anyways. No need to worry. Only small dinosaurs like dromaeosaurids had them.
hmm... not bad, i just found you and i can quickly say that you have a very distinct style that i wouldn't mind seeing again.
Why do I think harry would make the most cool superhero team. Harry bronze. Harry iron. And Harry gold
My bf plays ARK and I keep telling him that the little arms in a lot of em don't feel right so I showed him this lol
Hah! It's possible that realism just isn't ARK's strong suit in general...
"The animal = Children" threw me away lmao
Under-rated humor and content 😂👌
Your himour is about as dry as my mouth after I've had tea.
Love it. Keep up the good work.
Do you know how to spot a good comedy channel? Answer: Half of the comments are unintentionally as funny as the video.
When I was a kid,I used to wonder if an alien saw a human skull for the first time, reconstructed what they thought we looked like and create a ghastly creature with bulging eyes and a permanent grimace. T- Rex probably had lips like out modern reptiles and didn't walk around with exposed teeth like in the old films and crocodiles. This was fun. Thanks.
Giving lips to t-rex isn't more realistic than not giving him lips.
Now do an anteater skull, it doesn’t leave much to the imagination
Your Kermit impression was incredible man, keep it up
Hey, I have an idea!
Can you do one sometime where the animal skull is of a real viscious apex predator, and the alien thinks that it's something cute and cuddly? XD
A Honey Badger skull, and the alien goes: hmm yes this clearly is from a smaller predator that evolved to become the perfect pet.
i mean he thought cute apex preditors are cute aoex preditors so he would think shorns are shorns
I cannot, seriously CANNOT understand how something so obvious like muscles, fat, fur, feathers and other soft tissues completely flew over our heads for so long O_o
Its more than that
damn that was so good you just got a new subscriber
I'm a fan of the T-rex having fuffy feathers, making it look like a giant robin
