What got you interested in dinosaurs?
The 2020 Megalosaurus is by Collecta (No 88909 Megalosaurus)
and whow you have to see the toy Collecta 88911 "Brontosaurus Cadavre"... O.o
I have to admit, I nearly died laughing at Steven's reaction to the Godzilla roaring plush and the cake book. Especially at that "Iguanodon" cake. 😃
With that cook book we now really need an episode of Steve and Liz trying to make one of the dinosaurs called "Your Cakes Are Wrong"
It should be the "iguanadon"
get his patreon behind it and it's mostly like to happen.
🤣🤣🤣
There's something very amusing to me about the way you said "this is the second coprolite someone has given me". Like, "If I had a nickel for every time someone mailed me a coprolite, I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot, but its weird that it happened twice"
The frog you're thinking of is the Suriname toad. The mother lays the eggs, which are then embedded in her back by her mate. The eggs develop anf hatch into tadpoles, which stay in the pockets until they reach full toad status. The mother then sheds the layer of skin the pockets were in.
Pipa pipa
I am the person who sent the book! I couldn't figure out how to put a note with it from the website so I just...didn't. Your reaction to the, er, "Iguanodon" was everything I hoped for.
Yoshi’s full name is “T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” which can be assumed to be his/their scientific name.
That would imply that is a sub species of T. yoshisaur, as only subspecies have 3 linnean names.
@@triccele which would also imply its species name is also a genus name, as to my knowledge only genuses have -saurus
@@triccele The other subspecies are the different colors. My evidence for this is that they have slightly different powers.
I choose to believe yoshisaur is a species of tentonosaurus.
HE/THEY YOSHI 💖 so happy for them :’)
Woah my favorite dinosaur! Megalosaurus bucklandii the absolute dinosaur OG. Only 1600s kids will remember, good ol' days.
I definitely feel like torturing Steven by having to deal with really old dinosaur discoveries.
How is your comment 18 HOURS old?! This just came out
Patrons get to see the video before everyone else does. :)
I feel like "reach donation goal *x* for a YDAW bake-off" could be a viable compromise. Because I admit, I was audibly disappointed when Steven said he wouldn't be making a dino cake.
When it looked like he broke the Baryonyx, I thought how cool it would be if the next video was one of Steven opening it up and fixing the mechanism. I'd watch that. I watch James May fix stuff. Slow TV is great.
"That's the second coprolyte someone has given me"
That's some literal weird sh-t!
Coprolites are sh*tty gifts tbh
B-dum tsssh
12:29 Thats Rudy from Ice Age 3 :D He should be a Baryonyx an massively Oversized Albino Baryonyx
18:36 The Complete Speciesname of Yoshi is "T-Yoshisaurus Munchakoopas"
32:55 Tlatolophus Gallorum is a Newly discovered Dinosaur who was related to Parasaurolophus from Mexico its gotDiscovered earlier this Year with a relativly complete Skull. Tlatolophus shares many anatomical features with the Chinese Parasaurolophus Charonosaurus so thats therorised that Charonosaurus even had just a Headcrest like Tlatolophus .
Yea and I think that specific one came in a McDonald's Happy meal
"T-Yoshisaurus Munchakoopas" isn't Yoshi's species, it's his name. His first name is T. Yoshisaurus and his surname is Munchakoopas.
My theory is that Rudy is actually a Suchomimus
I have the dinosaur cake book. I say I; having bought it, I added post-it notes to the particular cakes I wanted and gave it to my aunt. Some time in our thirties, my cousin and I shared a birthday cake. He is a musician. My aunt made him a banjo (easier than a guitar and four tuning pegs so a lollipop for each child at the party) and had the banjo being attacked by dinosaurs.
In the best way possible, Steven reminds of what a human Manny from Ice Age would look/ sound like. His reaction to the art is wonderful, and I also love his and Liz's interactions.
These episodes are pure gold for fans of unboxing videos.
12:07 i’m not sure if you found out since filming this video, but that thing is from Ice Age 3, so they definitely weren’t trying for accuracy
Megalosaurus would be the perfect follow-up to Iguanodon. Patrons, do your stuff
The second box has all the toys I used to have! The moving armed dude was a “villain” from Ice Age, that weird movie.
12:30 I used to have that same exact toy when I was little! I used to use the jaw-opening feature to crush skittles.
I think Yoshis are highly derived Ceratosaurines. The four fingers, the osteoderms down the back, it makes sense.
Yeah, the reason I said Tyrannosaurus in my letter was because of the skull shape and how popular Trex is in pop culture
Aenocyon dirus is the new name for the dire wolf (formally known as "Canis dirus") as found to not be that closely related to grey wolves. Also most of the obscure dinosaurs in art are from ones named this year.
18:57 As per Super Mario Odyssey, Yoshi is canonically NOT a T. rex. I think Yoshis are supposed to be their own thing, but if I were to guess I’d have to assume they were modeled after Iguanodon
Yeah, the reason I said Tyrannosaurus in my letter was because of the skull shape and how popular Trex is in pop culture
Not comprehensive, but...
1:48 - Giganotosaurus, by Schleich (small version 2015)
2:05 - Megalosaurus, by Invicta as noted (Invictas were really cool; they're dated but really nicely sculpted)
2:47 - no idea, generic playset or "party favor" minis?
3:24 - Megalosaurus, by Collecta (2021, brand-new!)
4:00 - Megalosaurus, by Toyway (folks, this is what the Invictas and WALKING WITH toys got replaced by. *sob*)
7:00 - the ceratopsian might be Menefeeceratops (appropriately) and the ankylosaur and hadrosaurs might be Invictarx & Ornatops, respectively (thx Wiki)
10:52 - I have those cards! They show up in lots of bookstores and gift shops. I remember seeing those dino illustrations in a lot of kids's books and sticker books.
11:43 - ??????
12:10 - Rudy, from ICE AGE 3; dunno the manufacturer (Honkin' big Baryonyx in the film, if that's the genus he's supposed to be)
12:40 - Placerias, unknown party toy brand (It looks modeled after the WWD design; Everything dinosaur carries this model)
13:00, 13:52, 14:15, 14:57 - more (customized) party bin toys? (The one at 14:28 I always classified as Ornithosuchus, a primitive archosaur)
14:00 - Ornitholestes, looks like a knockoff from Chap Mei
14:45 - Velociraptor, Safari ltd Dinos Toob
16:50 - ??? Maybe a dollar store chinasaur
17:35 - here I thought it was bad getting Dimetrodon mixed up with Spinosaurus...
19:25 - just display it with some predators as a cleaned-out carcass.
21:40 - Achelousaurus, by Collecta/Procon - except this one looks like a knockoff
22:10 - Styracosaurus, also by Collecta/Procon (2007 - they've made a better one since)
23:50 - as soon as they said it had sound, I just KNEW it would be that.
24:13 - Allosaurus, by Safari ltd. (2019; gorgeous model, probably best Allo toy on the market)
25:08 - Brachiosaurus, by Safari ltd. again (2010)
26:30 - oh, those cakes are CURSED. ....I think I want one.
29:42 - that Yangchuanosaurus might be a Steve Kirk trace.
38:30 - that is a GORGEOUS little model. I'd love to see that get mass-produced somehow.
Fun video; dinosaur toys are a delight!
Don't know if you will see this, but I am the guy who sent in 16:50 to 19:25 and yes, the sauropod was a dollar store figure I got when I was little.
Poor Steven, you're gonna have to start doing like I found to do and start hitting up the "2021 in Archosaur paleontology" wikipedia page every month just to keep up with all of these newly described genera 😅
Palaeontologists and dino buffs are the only people who are actually thrilled when people give them sh*t
As a dino buff i can confirm we do 🤣🤣🤣
16:34 that one makes my skin crawl!
I've heard Yoshi is loosely based on a velociraptor, and that seems right. It is a little bit more obvious in some of the early art and unused Super Mario World game sprites (not a lot, though, just a bit more skinny and derpy).
It is also shown as a raptor in the HORRIBLE live action Mario film from the 90s.
"the HORRIBLE live action Mario film from the 90s." Smh my head😔
I wonder if you redo the the older episodes of YDaW.
Spinosaurus was my favorite episode, but I would like to see you dive more into the drama that went into the research and popculture of that dinosaur
At this rate, we're gonna need a new Spino Ydaw every couple of years lol
@@Deinobi Not that I would mind. Spino is awesome!
As a lover of dinosaurs and baked goods, I need that cake book.
yeah that stegosaur with the holes is disturbing like something outta a horror movie XD
A hilarious episode! Humour highlights for me were the Dinosaur Cake Book and the theological questions raised by the santa caveman ! Brilliant !
The frog you mentioned is the Surinam toad (Pipa pipa), they lay their eggs on their backs, then the skin grows arrond them to keep them safe. Is quite gross.
My skin crawls just thinking about the pipa pipa... brrr
I mean logically it shouldn’t be any grosser than mammalian birth.
I have to say, I absolutley love your mailbag videos, it's so fascinating to see, what kind of toys and great artwork people are sending you. And I love your reactions, too. Especially that you can admit when you don't know something. It's a good habit, that's far to rare.
Technically, many parts of Christmas were assimilated from pre-Christian religions (in part to make Christianity more appealing to the pagan peoples they were trying to convert) such as the Roman celebration of Saturnalia and the German Yule celebrations. In turn these would have had their roots stretching back millennia, possibly to stone age peoples. For example, the Christmas tree could come from the Saturnalian custom of cutting down a tree and bringing them into ones home during the festival. Similarly, the Germanic people marked the arrival of midwinter, the winter solstice, by bringing evergreen trees and branches into their homes. Even the time for Christmas, December 25th, was used because of the Yule festival (Dec 27th - 25th); Jesus' actual date of birth is unknown (though some put it in September due the astrological clues in the story but this is just conjecture). So, a picture of a prehistoric man and "Christmas" petroglyphs may not be as incompatible as one might assume.
What about caveman santa?
"And I call him.... Rudy"
The white Baryonyx-Spinosaurid is "Rudy" from Ice Age: dawn of the Dinosaurs.
Fun movie, despite the... less Accurate Dinos..
You should check it out. Just put the Wrong Dinos in the "Silly" category
(Household Favorites from the movie, my family has dubbed "Mindlessaurus" You'll know them when you see them) ;)
Now I wanna see a video where someone tries to taxonomically place Yoshi with as much specificity as possible.
17:01 I had that exact sauropod toy growing up (it was actually my favourite toy for quite a while), and mine had the tag Diplodocus on it's belly. Weird that the exact same toy had more than one species label.
I sent that one in! I have a duplicate of it still!
The cave-painted Christmas tree is the least suspect thing, a French court determined that the decoration of a fir tree is an ancient tradition at year's end, but, yes, that santa hat clip art suddenly gives rise to a lot of questions.
Triceratops wall mount, like a deer 😂😂😂
That was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it.
The spinosaurid is actually Rudy from Ice Age. I believe he's supposed to be baryonyx but I'm not sure. One of my favorite stylized depictions.
Today is a good day
28:02 Those little bakeries are a british snack called iced gems
The frog with the egg holes on its back is the Surinam Toad or Pipa pipa toad!
Wonderful work as always!!
It's actually also not "holes"! The eggs get put on their back and then the skin grows up around the eggs to keep them all safe!
Tratayenia is a megaraptoran theropod.
saw this video and immediately clicked, loving the great content!
I love your videos and by the way that small triceratops is a nausetoceratops
I think the advent calendar just proves that the so-called "Father Christmas" was an immortal being previously known as Papa Saturnalia, and possibly many other names prior to christianity. The really big question is how was he human-shaped at least 66 million years before the evolution of humans?
This might not be what you are going for, but your mail opening videos are so helpful for putting me to sleep when insomnia strikes. Thank you
I love this series
the advent calander is obvious. they celebrate the birth of Raptorjesus
At 19:50, you're thinking of Suriname toads, Pipa pipa, which are close relatives of African clawed frogs (they're both members of the family Pipidae, or the 'tongueless frogs", called so because their tongues are heavily reduced and instead use their long fingers to shovel aquatic insects and small fish into their mouths.)
The male and female swim in summer-salts during mating, resulting in the eggs collecting on the female's back. There a thick pad of skin will form and gradually envelope the eggs over the course of several days. After the eggs have hatched and the toadlets have emerged, the mother will slowly slough this pad of skin off.
Trying to guess what various different pop media "dinosaurs" are would make for an interesting episode! Yoshi, Barney, etc
Steve, the drawings on Richard's letter are the key to identifying what the toys are supposed to be, although that dromaeosaur is pretty obviously a Safari LTD toob _Velociraptor_ .
Perfect video to spice up my day
That styracosaurus in the cake book reminds me of a budgie . I now have visions of ceratopsians doing their version of communal twittering/behaviours going through my imagination. Quadrupedal budgies, with horns. Hilarious, as long as you keep your distance... Cheers :)
19:31 “we have a holy stegosaurus”
best unboxing video
Carnotaurus had strangely mobile shoulder joints. I recommend trey the explainer's video about it~
I’ve always just thought of Yoshi as a Monolophosaurus just because of his snout.
Kentrosaurus lived in the Tendaguru society.
YESS A NEW EPISODE
14:53 I had that exact figure in one of those Toobs (I think I still have it somewhere). If memory serves me correctly, I think it was either supposed to be Sinosauropterix or Sinornithosaurus. I got the Toob cause it had Dilong though, so I didn’t pay much attention to that toy.
There is a toad that has eggs pressed into the skin of it's back, the Suriname toad.
I believe the small ceratopsian in Richard's artwork is an Avaceratops, given the small size along with the two forward curved horns
I sent in that yoshi, but now if yoshi was real, I would believe it to be some sort of allosauridae
It’s only a matter of time before someone sends them a beasts of the Mesozoic figure
I love this channel
The styracosaurus cake in the cookbook is very cute
That aquilops looks so good
Oh hey, I have that exact same brachiosaurus model sitting on my desk! I named mine Duck.
3:00 The one on the left (the brown one) looks exactly like the mold they used for the Lost World Jurassic Park baby t-rex toy. The colors are off but the figure is exactly the same.
Now we need a cooking stream for those dinosaur cakes, make it happen.
santa is an immortal magical entity. he's dressed as a caveman because pants werent invented yet. 100% accurate trust me
The 2020 figure is from Collecta , the Natural history museum was made by Toyway: Meglasaurus
The page 1 cake dino looks like one of the concrete Dinos in the Kew Gardens... Yeah i was also going to Iguanodon and then you said it yourself :D
Agathaumas is the toy ceratopsian, a dubious genus that probably never existed.
This reminds me of something you would see on HBO Kids back in the day
The spinasaurid is Rudy from Ice age 3! They never sey but I think he is a baryonix.
Man, Tucker is getting good!
12:35 that's the Happy Meals figure of Rudy from Ice Age 3, and he is a Baryonyx 😉
You know you're getting older when you don't recognize half of the genera.
19:40 I think that might be the Suriname Toad? Anyways, great video, I always look forward to these!
that reminds me, i have a total nightmare of a toy that i found at winco to send to you...hope i'll see it in the next one!
I think Iguanadon might be modelled on Truckosaurus 😃
23:56 I have a parasaurolophus that makes the same noise! XD
The dimetrodon that said it was a metriocanthasaurus is an edaohosaurus
That Iguanodon cake... it's just an alligator, wich is weird because Iguanodon and Alligator look nothing like each other
Even the old Crystal Palace Iguanodon doesn't look like an alligator.
12:29 looks like the evil dino from the ice age movie, lol
"so tiny but has fully developed horns" sounds like zuniceratops. ;-;
The frog with holes is the Suriname toad lmao
That first megalosaurus toy was a giganotosaurus
12:22 White one is from Ice Age 3
12:13 That's Rudy from the third Ice Age movie! I don't know if it's official, but everyone collectively agrees to call him a Baryonyx
I definitely need to send you some of my old dinosaur toys. I was able to keep a few, one I repurchased that I had as a kid (a hilariously inaccurate Dimetrodon with what looks to be human teeth) but I have a few oddballs that I haven't heard mentioned on the show yet!
I reckon Yoshi's are Sauropodomorpha like Thecodontosaurus.
In all fairness, Godzilla is heavily inspired by T-Rex if you look deep enough. He's more the old Charles Knight style, body-wise. But still. Course you could argue that his species is related to Tyrannosaurs.
Even if that cake was Iguanodon, that doesn’t explain why the T.Rex looks like a crocodile.
36:20 apparently Agathaumus is the Cerotopsid, though the pictures I see of it are all more or less Charles Knight’s Triceratops
12:10 I think this is Rudy from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs! I believe he's meant to be an oversized baryonyx :)
19:40 I believe you're referring to the Surinam Toad.
