Bajadasaurus | What Did This Dinosaur Use Its Cretaceous Mohawk For?
ฝัง

- The largest animals to ever walk the face of the planet were the sauropod dinosaurs. Known for their long necks and enormous sizes, the sauropods lasted from the late triassic to the late cretaceous. They’re one of the longest-lived groups of non-avian dinosaurs. It should therefore come as no surprise that some groups diverged from the generic body plan of super long neck, super long tail, tiny head, and robust body. One of these cringy influencers sported a mohawk of forward pointing spines erupting from a short neck. Meet Bajadasaurus.

Oh, Edge has animators now? How long before he produces his own Walking with Dinosaurs documentary?
Already part of one XD A low poly one would be pretty neat tho.
@@EDGEscience ;)
how are there 3 of my favorite youtubers in one chain
Why dont you make another Tarbosaurus vid😂
Hey look it’s Rick raptor I been watching him for months now
Man, as a kid I was obsessed with dinos. As a 19 year old, that obsession still remains but now I have an interest for all animals and creatures of history. Absolutely fascinating.
It's wild to know that no matter how far we come with research there will always be things we will never know, possibly major things as well as minor, and it's so interesting to learn all the possibilities and ideas of what once was.
Don’t ever lose that curiosity and love of learning. Trust me, that very passion has served me well throughout my life. Countless hours of total bliss in learning about this world. Complete fulfillment and always more to learn!! Countless people Ive been able to aid throughout my lifetime and countless animals assisted in their own unique journeys on this earth!! So many life’s saved . So many aided in their understandings of this Little Rock we live on. And I WOULDN’T change a damned thing. How lucky we are! Never stop learning! I believe in you!!
(Lots of love from a total stranger. I’m AJ, btw. Not Robert. I’m the wife that’s too lazy to sign into her own account for FOUR YEARS NOW. Hahaha. Don’t worry. He gets it. And I have his permission. I’m not a TOTAL savage. XD).
hu
What about a challenge: draw a crazy imaginary new sauropod, and let's review the drawing in 20 years. What if an actual sauropod is discovered with that form? That would be awesome hah
instablaster.
Nice idea
Head down swung from side to side probably looks really intimidating, if not mesmerising.
For some reason that made me imagine bajadasaurus headbanging to argentinian heavy-metal
That's awesome
I saw a piece of art with Bajada placing its head down, flexing it's spikes in a threat display like a ceratopsian's horn or stegosaur's thagomizer.
No idea if that's accurate, but it makes sense and is metal as all heck
One of the best paleo-Channels, very interresting as always and again a sice comparison with a JoJo Character, Dio ?
Speedwagon and Jonathan Joestar
Quite much so
CEEESSSSAAARRRR!!!
I imagine these guys will have discoveries akin to spinosaurus: the more body we find, the more insane they'll become.
Waiting for them to find out that it had a tail twice as long as the body
2021 - Bajadasaurus paddle tail reveal
@@lizardzilla or hell, maybe they have a tail with thagomizers for all we care
It will be discovered that, like halucigenia, they've depicted it upside down.
The 1 dislike is from Amargasaurus for not being the star of the vid
DRAMA QUEEN AMARGASAURUS
Bajada chad😎
I didn't leave a dislike but I do not like the adult language in a video about dinosaurs. My dinosaur obsessed little cousins would love this channel but I can't show it to them.
@@KFrost-fx7dt I assume you are referring to "annoy the shit out of you" and "metric crap-ton".
First, I wanna say: there's no way avoiding this, anyways, sadly. I noticed it is not trying to protect kids from bad influences that helps, but giving them the right/proper perspective on them. They will come across them sooner or later, anyways, so better help them to have the right mindset to deal with them properly. Willfully exposing them I wouldn't suggest either, though.
Secondly, why is it even called adult-language? Why not call it gutter talk or bum talk? Calling it that way makes it even more appealing to kids. They all wanna be grownups or at least act like them.
Personally, I find it unnecessary, but I don't have a big problem with it.
@@pawejankowski9364 It's trashy. And I don't want my autistic 8 year old cousin copying it. I don't like listening to it either.
It'll be interesting to look back on Amargasaurus and bajarasaurus when we have a more complete picture of these dinosaurs as a group, it wouldn't shock me if it turns out that the Amargasaurus genus just ends up having a lot of variability in how the neck spines look between species, or even individuals as like, a signalling thing.
Unlike Bajadasaurus, Amargasaurus is a lot more complete. So the arrangement of the spines in Amargasaurus is confirmed. That doesn't rule out differences in other specimens, may they ever be found.
Never thought a description of plaster gauze jacketing could make me blush
The animation artists must be extremely talented
@@blokin5039 what the artists are talented don’t go all no they complemented some they must be a simp or they’re stupid
@@blokin5039 what
3:27 that is a rather... Interesting description of the plaster used.
I keep missreading this dinosaur as Badassosaurus
Amargasaurus: *who are u?*
Bajadarasaurus: *i'm u but stranger*
Amarga: *just seems like a clone of me.*
God & E.D.G.E *yeah pretty much.*
Amargosaurus:
“You’re weak.”
Bajadarasaurus
“I’m you.”
@@perhapsawhitemale8144 if amargasaurus ripped off its neck spines and replaced them with knives
These comments are so tired
12:59 _Woohoo!_
I had never heard of Bajadasaurus or the neural spine condition in dicraeosaurids until now. Can I still hang onto my dino nerd card?
4:45 what's with the sauropod turning into a lightning rod?
I suppose that as they were the tallest things in the plain of the painting, lighting would go for them
I think that even happens to modern giraffes sometimes....
It's turning into an Electric-type.
@@blueblaze27 omg why-
If I lose it all🎵
Ok that’s nice How JoJo Characters come out of no where
yeah
The fact that there's a blog specifically for sauropod vertebrae pictures warms the cockles of my heart
What a brilliant adaptation, I could see that preventing a theropod from biting down on your neck. Evolutionary arms races are so fascinating, like specifically in cases like these where the adaptations seem to be driven by interaction with another species/niche. I wonder what happened with the predators in response?
Remember when we used to think that (some?) sauropods had a secondary brain in their butts? I member!
And stegosaurs, too.
Isn't that stegosaurus ? Second brain in the tail area? The only theory sauropod i know was the swamp dweller sauropod.
@@blameitondanny yeah you’re right I was mistaken
Bases on what paleontologists have said about defensive features on animals like Triceratops, there's a good chance that the spins on the Bajadasaurus were for display (sexual and/or species identification) first and defense second.
It's mostly likely both in my opinion. I don't know which would be their primal and the secondary purpose but base on the available date they seem pretty well suited for defense. The fact that they appear to have been covered with keratin and the way they are positioned relative to the posture to the neck when animal is feeding on low vegetation would clearly play a role in protecting the animal a large predator who would normally aim for the neck. At the same time individuals with longer spines probably would have been viewed are more healthy and stronger by potential partners. If I have to guess the spines probably appeared first as a display structure but then were shaped and modified to better protect the animals from predatory attacks. But as usual we need more material to find out exactly
I absolutely love Baja/Amarga, so seeing this under suggested made my day. Looks like I have a new channel to catch up on 😊
I recognized the opening music from one of the Heisei Godzilla films.
From Godzilla vs Biollante,right?
Some really cool paleoart in this video. I love the one with the spider web between the spines, especially.
So this thing was like a reverse Kentrosaurus? Cool.
awesome inform! just a little correction, you say that no ankylosaurus, stegosaurus or ceratopsian live in south america, but there are various records of thyreophora also from argentina, both stegos and ankylos, an theres also an old doubtfull record of a ceratopsid, Notoceratops bonarellii (but the description of this last one was made in 1918 an the holotype is missing)
My point is that they’re clearly not prevalent throughout the continent during most of the cretaceous
@@EDGEscience yes, for sure, they are not the most notorious part of the fauna from gondwana and even less if they are compared whith sauropods. it didn't try to be a critic just a little "correction" or "add of information" if you will. Again, awesome, well informed video!!!
Part of me wishes Bajadasaurus was the mauled Apatosaurus Claire & Owen tried nurse back to health in Jurassic World
Smh I want a Cretaceous mohawk too
Saludos from Argentina :D
I reckon they were used in group defense rather than as a weapon. In groups, multiple Bajadasaurus could arrange themselves into a circle - their necks pointing outwards with spines in all directions, thus protecting every individual from danger as if the whole group were a big sea urchin or something... I doubt any large predators would want to take on a group of Bajadasaurus like that. Maybe many ceratopsians did something similar?
It's sorta like the bony equivalent of those neon punk haircuts that look like They're glued to your head and make you look 10 times balder.
The spines were obviously how sauropods expressed their music tastes.
Love the new more in depth looks at the remains and such. Really great video on a sick sauropod!
Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week has to be the most niche academically focused blog I've ever heard of.
bajadasaurus (and amargasaurus & agustinia) are some of my favorite long neck dinosaurs. inventing punk looks millions of years ago.
Great video. Just like always.
16:48 SPEEDWAGON KUN!
SOPEEDOWAGON
inverted amargasaurus
Or it just could be a super thick neck 😂
Kickass job. I love your use of language!
I loved watching this interesting overview. Many thanks!
love your narration. Good work!!
Nice Bajadasaurus video man!
can you do Mapusaurus or Argentinosaurus video soon?
Just like you did on Bajadasaurus video.
Badajasaurus is one of the most interesting and scary dinosaurs I know, the animal's lifestyle and appearance are magnificent.
ita a prehistoric punky regea party!
The best paleo anywhere! But still not much on other long necked dinosaurs. I enjoy all your work.
I love how you don't give absolutes when a fact is unknown. :D I wish More people did that when talking about Science, Dinosaurs and Evolution. :)
Oh my gosh they were just really big goat birds
16:47-17:07 thought you could sneak in best waifu speedwagon and joseph joestar
"... once the bone block was wrapped in copious amounts of creamy white dripping wet plaster soaked burlap, it was allowed to harden..."
Damn man, how are you even coming up with such scripts? :D
Great video ! I've learned so much !
Imagine if in the future, they discover a close relationship who's neck spines curve inward, making a heart shape.
Backwards Amargasaurus
That very interesting dinosaurs to learn about, great video learned something new.
Dude your the coolest channel I the world you videos or so interesting
We have porcupine Saurapod, when are we going to find the honey badger one?
That spiderweb at 22:05 in the horns... somehow I doubt the historic accuracy on that one xD
My ears feel both violated and pleased at the same time
wdym?
@@EDGEscience love the content, and your voice is relaxing, but the innuendos definitely caught me off guard XD
Oh haha that's great!
Very informative as always. Thanks a lot.
I got a collecta Bajadasaurus model.
good for you 👏 (cries in jealousness and poorness)
Any theropod aggressor or attacker would either be -detered* or *oooof!* ed Big Time by this particular Sauropod
Up next the ankylosaurus sauropod with a literal club in its tail!
Shunosaurus had a club tail so at least that part is true
@@poggestofeagles5094 I mean the theropod deterrant part is consistent too as presumably no theropod with an actual existing mindset would want to actually attack a large animal with spike like attachments
And shuno was not the only clubbed tail sauropod btw
@@thedoruk6324 are Ceratosaurus and Allosaurus a joke to you?
@@moonsoon35 they lived in different eras and places
@@poggestofeagles5094 No but they did eat Stegosaurs which have spike like attachments, not to mention the Kentrosaurs
But sauropods appear in the mid and lower Jurassic. Great video! I've long suspected that the neck spines of bajadasaurus and amargasaurus used them in combat with members of their own species kind of like deer with their antlers and defence against attacking predators perhaps not to attack the predators with but rather a sort of bluf with a herd standing their ground facing the neck spines towards the attackers perhaps shaking their necks slightly .
The spins may have caused visual confusion for carnivores who favored subduing prey by attacking their necks... while also serving to regulate body temperature via wind and the suns light as well as for attracting a mate.
I loved the video and I'm so proud over the prehistoric biodiversity of my country! Its a shame all the issues the career as a whole has. Much love from Argentina!
omg I would love the Spinosaurus shirt without the worst year I have ever experienced on it.
Imagine being an aquatic animal thinking that they are going to get a easy snack just to catch one or more of the neck spine spikes in and around the mouth while the dinosaur is just getting a drink
Watch that animal only have two spines while we went ahead and assumed it was spined out lmao
Upcoming holidays xD
Bajadasaurus was the first known organism to form a punk band
Thank you. Very enjoyable. I subscribed.
Blessings
Tempus Vernum at the end of this was the icing on the cake lmao
I read the title as Badassasaurus.
There is some crazy Paleo art in this video
Breaking news:scientists found out that drie wolves are not wolves
Bajadasaurus? More like badassaurus!!
cool
This is some really great work!
My favorite sauropod!
I like to speculate that the Bajadasaurus may have used it spines as a kind of a rake to get leaves from trees
Thanks for using my music in your videos!
It's a real honour. especially today's vid with the Mighty Bajadasaurus!

It’s all about the display, I am sure carnivores were like we are so scared lol.
POG FISH POG FISH!
I've been taking a closer look at monotremes lately, no particular reason. Its a mammal but it lays eggs.
I’m not sure that new paper everyone is going crazy about is not going to hold up
To answer the title's question:
To enact "Adam and the Ants" videos in sleazy karaoke bars.
Love the interstellar harpsichord music
3:25 Hol up....wait a minute....sum'n ain't right
16:57 .... is that Joseph Joestar LMAO
I do love my country ngl
haha
Thanks !! Have ideas for paleoart know Thanks to you 😊😊😊
super great video, one of best once, thanks
1:32
I like that it and Amargasaurus look so goddamn weird.
Its highly unlikely, but I've always had the highly amusing mental image of one of these guys leaning their head back and clacking their spines together like a rattlesnake tail.
So, it's basically a Diplodocus gone Stegosaurus...
Well, what worked once can work again
3:26 😳
😈🥵😳
16:00 Swiggity Swooty
Was the flipping the script a cobra kai reference
Science is a team sport. And is it just me or was a dinosaur getting hit by lighting in the early art work 😶
Obviously to save it's tiny brain from lightning strikes 😂😎 I'm not joking
Wasn't there a sauropod that had back armor? Except I can't remember what it was called.
