I love how elephants is the go-to measurement of dino weight
But what type of swallow... I mean elephant?
Indian or African?
I love that Giraffititan walk cycle! Your animations are getting better!
And I would like to see either Archaeopteryx, Quetzalcoatlus or Mosasaurus!
same
CJCroen1393 I see you everywhere
Ep. 21 is the Urvogel. We have to wait for Quetzalcoatlus and Mosasaurus.
And Sauroposeidon
Mosasaur can’t be in your ‘dinosaurs’ are wrong
Wow, where was this during my childhood. Amazing. I would like to see Carnotaurus broken down.
I sent him a $25 Carno last year and never got it back. And I watched them open it
Henry Reed haven’t they done one now?
@@jdldrummer oof
They made the video, did you see it? It was a good one!
@@jdldrummer did you ever hear back from them? They did make that video!
I'd love to see you tackle either _Megaraptor_ or _Giganotosaurus_; the former, especially, has some really terrible toys to dissect.
DastardlyRidleylash I only know of five toys for the latter, the two (terrible) Schleich toys, the Carnegie one (good representation of what people thought it looked like in the 1990s, now really outdated), the Papo mini one and the excellent Safari ltd. one. The skull is elongated and it might be too skinny in a dorsal view, compared to Scott Hartman’s representation. Though he did mention that if the torso’s width was inaccurate, it should be thinner due to the small pectoral girdle.
Megaraptor...wow, just wow. I agree with you completely, some terrible sculpts.
@@naingmon check out the eofauna one
You got your wish!
Giraffatitan is my all-time favourite dinosaur. I'm currently 15 years old, and I grew up with the so-called "Brachiosaurus brancai" as the dinosaur that was the most fascinating to me (Although I only knew it a Brachiosaurus at the time). In later years, I finally realized that it was a completely different species and my love for the dinosaur carried over to Giraffatitan. So it's always been close to my heart.
Same story here! Albeit a couple years older, haha.
probably not an issue around this channel, but you should never state your age on the internet if you're still a teen or younger. you can say you're still in grade school to give context, but keep it as vague as possible.
So you're 20 now?
I wish we had wrong dinosaur videos once a week at least
yea
I just want good episodes with rigorous analysis and detailed scientific research. The ones that don't have an episode I can catch on the Internet! Gotta catch em' all!
Oh my god I'm on TH-cam
This is you first time on TH-cam..?
LMAO
Ok...?
Hey
Welcome to depressing happiness
HAHAHAHAA! Seeing the super muscular neck was the best moment of my whole month!
Has to be one of my favorite toy intros, DID YOU SEE THAT TOTALLY RADICAL GRIND!
10:15 - Tripodal feeding is "slightly up in the air"! Ha!
okay but are we just gonna ignore how awesome the name giraffatitan is????
Hooray! It's back!
Man, so many animals to choose from. Hey, how 'bout another non-dinosaur creature? Postosuchus, anyone?
well the tittle is your dinosaurs are wrong... so...
The Primal Earth -Dinosaurs, science, and more!
Eh, that's just for audience attraction. He's examined a pterosaur before, so I guess a rauisuchian wouldn't be out of the question.
Zaheer Shaikh, he also examined a non archosaur before. Dimetrodon is what I am talking about. Dimetrodon is a Synapsid just like how every mammal ever are synapsids.
What's wrong with dinosuchos?
Zaheer Shaikh agreed
I got shamed in this episode :( Off to do some reading, now I guess.
So basically giraffatitan is slimmer, has more compact body, and a slightly shorter. Brachiosaurus has longer legs on the front, wider, longer body and tail, slightly bigger.
YDAW days are always good days. Love this series so much! The finished giraffatitan looks so cool.
Do Coelophysis, Allosaurus, or the non-dinosaurs like Elasmosaurus, Mosasaurus or quetzalcoatlus :D
Liepluredon ( I think that's spelt wrong :P )
Can you do a video on a celopysis or the updated postasuchus or some rusasuichid . I just subbed. to this channel and it is very cool!
Only quetz or mosa
@@atrl7041 Yeah you did.
Could you guys make a video where you explain what dinosaurs were related? I really want to have an overall idea of the dinosaur family tree's structure
Oh man. Make the series more frequent please! Haha
I literally just finished rewatching all of the YDAW videos yesterday. And right on time there is a new one! So happy right now
corythosaurus is practically the mascot of this series, pls make an episode about corythosaurus
I'm happy to live in such a time to enjoy this series. Top shelf material.
These are my favorite videos on TH-cam. I get so happy when I see them in my feed.
When he says "It's tracking the movement of the continents with biology!" he sounds downright giddy. I love it
Your videos are super interesting and very calming. Thank you.
great work with bone structures and animations ! awesome as always
i always get excited when i see a new ep of this!!
please come back to this series soon! Ive binge-watched the entire series.
As a South American, I always remember Argentinosaurus, the LARGEST land animal to ever live.
I love this series. thanks.
I used to see your videos in my recommended. I thought they were bad but your videos are actually really good!
Seeing this in my subscription feed made my day
Tender guru... I saw what you did there ;D
btw, more recent volumetric estimates put it back at about 30 tonnes for the subadult specimen mounted in Berlin, suggesting 40-50 tonnes for the larger known specimens.
Finally! Nice to see a new episode.
thanks for making this i love them
Cool series, brings back childhood memories of being fascinated with dinosaurs
That was incredible!
I love your videos
You, good sir, have won yourself a subscriber!
Deinocheirus! That giant camel/duck/ostrich dinosaur whose name means "Unusual Horrible Hand"
I loved the animation ((as allways). And I've got some sugestions. I'd love to see an ornithomimos (or any of it's relatives) because tey are mostly represented as super slender skeletical iguanas with big legs. It would also be great if you did some non-dinosaur creatures that are also represented wrong such (mainly in other archosaurians).
I love you! Keep being so wonderfull. Much success :*
The fact that they weight less then first though could explain how their necks would hold. Such long necks would be insanely heavy to lift.
These videos are extremely underrated
It is blowing my mind that the bracciosaurus toys and images I have had all my life, first of all were girafititan, and second of all got the head shape apparently wrong. That "iconic" head shape on that toy is how they have looked in every rendition i can conjure to mind.
Definitely the best series on TH-cam. I'd like to ask though how does sauroposeidon compare to giraffititan and brachiosaurus? I know we only have a few vertebrae but is it enough to safely say that Sauroposeidon is the tallest brachiosaurid? Thank you Steve, much respect
I had always supposed that the brachi- in brachiosaurus meant short. Because its relatively short tail and diagonal posture makes it much shorter, front to back, than most comparably sized sauropods. The fact that the tallest sauropod was called "short-lizard" used to amuse me almost as much as the fact that birds are saurischians - which is another treasured fact that YDaW has stolen from me (as of Synapisode #3)
You are teasing me so much with that animation of Iguanadon over time in your credits! Please please please do an Iguanadon!!!
Awesome! So informative!
You should do a classic bipedal _Edmontosaurus/Anatosaurus_ toy. I would love to see that.
That would be nice it would be nice if he did ceratosaurus or parasoulophus(that how you spell it?)
Monolophosaurus Jiangi
Hello my _Monolophosaurus_ brethren.
I think he did _Parasaurolophus_ already if I'm not mistaken.
We actually did an episode on Parasaurolophus! I can't link in a TH-cam comment, though...
wow so information on one my two all time favorites my other favorite is the Giganotosaurus I would absolutely love it featured in your series
These videos are great
12:24 the front view is something from nightmares
I’m really impressed with the walk cycle at 9:30
Giraffatitan has a long neck for the same reason that I like using chopsticks when I’m getting food with friends
I would love to see you talk about Amargasaurus!!!
4:47 A bit like North American and Europe, then. Similar deer species, similar wolf species, caribou in both places, moose, etc.
This is amazing!
My favorite dinosaur, thank you 💜
Don't fragmentary remains indicate that Giraffatitan could grow larger then the (composite) skeleton on display in Berlin? They have a specimen (HM XV2) consisting of a fibula that is ~12% longer than that of HM SII (the mount). And there are anatomical features on the mount that suggest that it was not an adult specimen as there are some unfused bones that we know are fused in adult what was then believed Brachiosaurs. Relevant SVPOW article: svpow.com/2009/03/16/brachiosaurus-both-bigger-and-smaller-than-you-think-incomplete/
The takeaway: Giraffatitan was even more humongous than the already gigantic skeleton in Berlin implies. As were probably most sauropods compared to what we know of relatively complete specimens. We have huge Apatosaurus/Apatosaurine cervicals in Oklahoma, and stupidly large remains attributed to Alamosaurus.
As for the next dinosaur, some Oviraptorosaur/Caenagnathid would be interesting.
+Marcus Tullius Cicero You are correct. The giant sauropods are just crazy, aren't they? We get all these tantalizing hints of truly gargantuan animals. Thanks for watching!
The best dinosaur toy intro
0:24 best figure introduction EVER
The picture of Giraffatitan with the fucking massive thick neck was a lot funnier than it should have been.
Dude that ad at the end is epic
Still not over the comedic timing of the intro in this one
I'd love to see you do the Crystal Palace dinosaurs. Megalosaurus and Iguanodon, as portrayed in the early 19th century.
velociraptor would be great to see on the show!
I would love to see you do one of sauroposeidon
I have no idea if there is a toy for it out there, but some kind of compsognathus would be cool!
I need more of these vids
Gasp!! Could you do Quetzalcoatlus? Especially the whole pole vaulting thing they do to get up in the air?
Although I'm not really into these types of videos, I kind of like the intro with the toy dinosaur though
I gave this a like for that dope walking animation
Do Baryonyx! I would love it so much! (My favorite dinosaur after... well i think you can guess :P)
I love the intro
When I was in Berlin last week and saw the huge Giraffatitan there, they still called it Brachiosaurus on all signs. Except for one sign in the education part of the building they called it Giraffatitan aswell as Brachiosaurus.
10:07 Do you have any sources for the diverse sauropod faunas in the upper jurassic??
I NEED them for a project for my university!
CARNOTAURUS!!! Definitely need some Carno love on here!!
plese do quetzal
it is my favourite and you can buy a paperweight toy one on amazon and use it at work
Yes quetzalcoatlus is AWESOME!
Archaeopteryx or bambiraptor if possible. I love maniraptoriformes--my friend got me into dinosaurs again recently so I think it'd be cool if you could find a toy of a maniraptoriforme and see you review it.
The wait is over! A new YDAW is here
5:12 Torniera is closer to Barosaurus than it is to Diplodocus if I'm not mistaken...
Thanks for this brachiosaurus was my favourite dinosaur but now I guess its girrafatitan
I really wanna see an episode about ornitholestes because it has always been one of my favorite dinosaurs but I can't find a toy to send in.
love it. would love to see you cover archyoptarex or allosaurus
Yes!
Archaeopteryx* but yes so would I!
Can you do a celosaurs as well as a celopysis and the updated postasuchus?
it's be cool if you could do Megalosaurus. if only for the discussion on the crystal palace reconstructions
The toy actually seems to be based on the "Brachiosaurus" skeletton mounted in front of the FMNH. The one with the horribly misarticulated shoulder girdle. God I hate that mount.
If I ever come up with the cast of a Mesozoic paleodocumentary, then I would definitely set the obligatory late Jurassic episode in the Tendaguru formation (although that's just a pipe dream for now).
will you do acheopteryx or mircoraptor?
Please do Carnotaurus! that would be amazing!
Oh my gosh I didn’t know you guys were located in Michigan! Are they still out that way?
What about the ones gaining popularity recently like the Giganotosaurus?
(I have yet to see a toy but it would be cool to see you review a Sharovipteryx even though it's not a dinosaur)
Please do quetzalcoatlus! The larger one to be specific, ya know, the giraffe sized one, not the small hell creek one. Thanks!
I would personnally really like Velociraptor mongoliensis; but I think Archaeopteryx, Mosasaurus or Quetzalcoatlus would also be awesome (even if they aren't dinos)
Hey dude, what do you think of the Rebor dinosaur models?
Can you do Shantungosaurus or maybe iguanodon?
"Tender guru"
I saw that you sneaky sneak
Thanks for once again destroying my childhood.
i know: shunosaurus, diploducas, aegyptosuarus, girrafatitan, brachiosuarus, sizemosuarus, dreadnoughtus, supersuarus, camarasuarus, brontosuarus, apatosaurus, omiesuarus, argentinosuarus and amargasuarus. the saurus part might be spelled wrong. i actually know all this
Well… I always thought the brachiosaurus head in Jurassic Park was too big, but apparently it wasn’t that off as I thought (still maybe too large).
giraffatitan's face looks scary
Do smilodon or mammothus those would be interesting to cover on the show because like Dimetrodon their not dinosaurs their just generally clumped in to dinosaurs
