Iguanodon | One of the Most Succesful Dinosaurs Ever
ฝัง

- The Iguanodon today is one of the most loved and popular dinosaurs out there, thanks to some iconic appearances, which includes its role in the movie Dinosaur (2000). However, it was not an easy road for the Iguanodon, and it had to fight to get to where it is, and not only in the media, but also in real life. It lived across the globe, thus it encountered many predators and competitive herbivores, leading to the question of how it was able to become so successful. And not just successful, but so much so, that many regard it as one of the most efficient dinosaurs ever.

"Look at all the Aladars"
You earn my respect for knowing that movie lmao 👍
YESSSSS someone said it
That film slaps
Best comment ever
I always thought they were trying to say Aladin lol. Love the movie dinosaurs
As a wise paleo nerd once said, "Talk dumb you get the thumb..."
Iguanadons are 100% certified British dinosaur. You mess with one? Boom! you get shank.
I've always thought of Iguanodon as the "thumbs up" dinosaur ; )
The thumbs are used for defence like stabbing
I see what you did there and i love it
Its crazy to think iguanadon lived from the late jurassic to the early cretaceous period. Also one of my favorite dinosaurs growing up it was if I remember correctly my third favorite right behind pachyrhinosaurus and my favorite dinosaur of all time therizenosaurus.
That's amazing bro always loved land crocs like kaprosuchus and barinasuchus also huge fan of Spinosaurids like Baryonyx and Spinosaurus itself
@@kyachdistent1301 that's true and many iguanadonts thought to be iguanadon are really there own species even the original England species is nowba nomen dubion but iguanadon still inhabited inland its just the type species Iguanadon berinissartenssis
Maybe Awesome Archivist is a fan of mammals like Chalicotheriinae if they like Therizenosaurus?
girafatitan corythosaurus edmontosaurus and kryptops are heavily underrated
@@raylopez99100% and my favorite modern animal is the giant anteater.
Iguanodon also had a prehensile pinky that acted much like our thumbs, and the middle three fingers were 'hooved,' to serve the animal when it went about on all fours. Good video, sir! You need many more subs.
“Act dumb, get the thumb.” - Iguanodon
The giant ground sloth was also a large herbivore that could walk on all fours but also rise up on two legs, along with a heavy tail, so maybe it occupied a similar niche.
does it look like we are talking about sloths here?!?!
@@ChilconCerato5623 they're making a comparison based on the similarity of their traits, nothing wrong with doing that.
stop disrespecting iguanadons
@@scambammer6102 Ground slothes were hardcore, a far cry from their tree-dwelling relatives. Megatherium tipped the scales at four tons, had massive claws, and was more than capable of bodying even the largest predators of its day.
@@scambammer6102lol what? Gian sloths had less predators than iguanodon
The way these animals were depicted in Walking with Dinosaurs was down right CRIMINAL! As big as they were I highly doubt the Utahraptor being able to take down a bull Iguanodon 😒
Bernissart (Belgium), where Iguanodon fossiles were found, has changed a lot meanwhile. The seaside is now about 100 km away, there are no mountains (only hills) and no tropical forest either. The fossiles can be seen in a museum in Brussels.
With those spikes, it should've been called the Shankadon or Stabasaurus
It probably would have been called that if we started finding dinosaur fossils today
@@coal9205 lolz. True
I back this lol
@@ExtinctZoo Fonziedon
*AYYYYYYYYY*
"Shankadon" would mean shank-tooth. But I'm all for shankasaurus!
This is my favorite mount in Ark.
great video man . Iguanodon was one of my favorite dinosaurs even tho its very
overlooked
The multi - tool of the dinosaur world😃.As a child dinosaur nerd in the 70''s the iguanadon was a top 5er for me,lol.Great vid'👍🇬🇧
as an Iguanodon i approve this video!
Has anyone considered the thumb spikes may have been used to access termite nests, or something similar? It reminds me a bit of Anteater claws.
they were used for opening cans
I think it seems cooler to think he used it to mug unsuspecting dinosaurs.
Thank you very much for creating & sharing this!
Iguanodon was certainly an accomplished dinosaur; it’s got so much history behind it.
Nice video! I didn't know Iguanodon was not a hadrosaur. The more you know.
Iguanodontians did lead to hadrosaurs tho
Just because something is huge and spends most of its time on four legs does not mean it's a hadrosaur.
Is your mom a hadrosaur?
Yes,the predecessor of hadrosaurs found in China , Equijubus is closely related to iguanodon.
Iguanodons were probably blinding predators with those thumb spikes
No they kept heat seeking missiles in the spikes which the lanch at predators. I was there to witness it.
“Talk dumb, you get the *thumb*”
People have to remember our knowledge of Dinosaurs was quite limited during those early years of paleontology and we didn't know these giant creatures existed till a doctor and his wife found those first Iguanodon fossils lying on the side of a road though they were only fragmentary accept for the teeth and that was why the first Iguanodons were thought to be giant lizards resembling the iguanas and the same with the first Megalosaurus fossils and with the first depictions of Iguanodons they were made to look like oversized Iguanas and that thumb spike was put on the nose it was only later when more complete skeletons were discovered that changed people's views of this iconic dinosaur and that we didn't know they were related to birds yet which is why the earliest drawings of dinosaurs showed them as lumbering giants that dragged they're tails on the ground and the Tyrannosaurus Rex was originally depicted standing upright till it was redone the way we see it now since it was discovered if the T-Rex walked like that it would just be breaking it's own back and that people now know dinosaurs were caring nurturing parents that looked after their young including the predatory dinosaurs since the discoveries of fossilized bone beds containing predatory dinosaurs of all ages from babies upto full grown adults so for plant eating dinosaurs imagine it one T-Rex is bad enough but a pack of them is every dinosaurs worst nightmare.
One of my favorite Ark tames.
Goat dinosaur forreals 🔥🔥
0:00~0:09
My childhood is back.
#WalkingwithDinosaurs
Me: Gives thumbs up.
Iguanodon: THEEZ R THUMBS. U BEEN THUMBERSTRUCK !!
This dinosaur is the embodiment of that thumb guy from Ratatouille
If we compare non-avian dinosaurs to birds then the iguanadon’s thumb spikes would be equivalent to a turkey’s spurs.
Looking at my mountain witch is my back yard and I'm having a hard time trying to see a bus sized anything running through it....😂😂😂
until i found out more about carnotauras, iguadon was my fav dinosaur, its still up there but with others now ive learned about more dinos, Carno, theri, spino and iguadon are my top favs XD
You a og when you get built in pocket knives in your thumbs
Ahh the Iguanodon, the dino that kills others by giving them a thumbs up👍
Incredible that scientists still don't know that Iguanodons used their thumbs to hitch rides.
Successful indeed.
This is my favorite mount in Ark Survival Evolved
You used the scene where Kron used his thumb spike to slash Aladar’s chest
We now know the origins of the ancient "thumb wars".
Why wasn’t Iguanodon in Jurassic Park (1993)⁉️
Like a billion species could likewise have been in JP1, that's why. Sure, woulda been cool tho.
It was utilized to forage 🌴
Just look at those HANDS
I've read that their theorized to have targeted the eyes with the spikes whenever they used them on a predator. Stabbed their eyes out and ran off lol.
No they kept heat seeking missiles in the spikes which will open up to reveal a heat seeking missile which fire at predators. I can confirm that because I was there to witness it.
"I like tortles!"
I believe if the earth never had the fire ball and come to destroy everything I believe iguanodon would've still be here living til this day
The 12 dinosaurs you just named. I do not even know how to pronounce them😅
I wonder what would be able to outcompete the iquanadon? Maybe one of there descendants succeeded them
Why is no one talking about the video game screen shot in the video
I'm sorry desert's? What was it eating there? Can they tell me that? Sand? Rocks?help me here....
Larger than Edmontosaurus? Nah, dude. Giant Edmontos have weighed 15 tons or maybe even more. Making them them the 2nd largest and heaviest Hadrosaurs only behind Shantungosaurus. So a lot bigger than Iguanodon.
That’s the largest specimen tho.on average edmontosaurus is 7 to 10 tons also he might be talking about E.regalis
So... what if, it switched to biped and then used the spikes to hold on to a tree while eating the leaves?
Not sure about because I didn't seen it but I can confirm the spikes where used to shelter heat missiles as I was there when it happened.
igunadon was smaller than Edmontosaurus though? 1:46
Thumbnail looks like "let it go bro he's not worth it c'mon we'll get kicked out"
Iguanodon is one of my favorites. A very basic large dinosaur. Not a lot of charisma by steady and reliable.
Iguanodon is far from basic. It's super unique. Did you even watch the video lol
@@lunacy5510 Of course I did!! All dinosaurs are unique.
@@lunacy5510 Basic also means no horns on its head, no ridges on its back, and no 6-inch teeth coming out of its mouth. Basic, steady reliable. My opinion and you have yours God bless..
Spinosaurus
Make sense why Ark Iguanodon fight back when get attacked by predator in wild instead run like Parasaurs
I bet many dinosaurs hopped around and others used saliva to poison large 🦕
Iguanadon why u no look like Iguana
Edmontosaurus was bigger
Ye but on average iguanadon can weigh 5 to 6 tons
Bro bro keeps changing the dang thumbnail!
I like the one right now, he looks all calm like, "Excuse me, sir. I'm just going to stab your neck, here."
I know this is two months late but iguanadon is restricted to the early cretaceous and all those iguanadon species are really other species of iguanadonts thought to be iguanadon even the original England species is now a nomen dubeon but the remains are still valid as iguanadon but are asoseated to iguanadon b and if not they could represent iguanadon Seelyi is just not this one is universal accepted
Yeah, and the North American remains are now known as Dakotadon
(Creative name I know /s)
Rather big kangaroo?
What species of iguanodon lived in North American?
Camptosaurus and Dryosaurus. They might not have been Iguanodon itself, but they are related.
@@Jestalnaker94000 iguanacollosus live in North America
I'm good till words like it's believed... they concluded...may suspect....on and on.... proposed! 😂 Not sure!
Euoplocephalus
Their face resemble the modern horse
Can they nerf this in ark ?
Eh, no. You got it all wrong. For some 200 years, Iguanodon was used as a wastebasket taxon, with various Early Cretaceous ornithopod fossils (often fragmentary and undiagnostic ones) being lumped into it, but extensive research in the 2000s narrowed down its geographic and geological range to just the Barremian of England, Iberia, Germany, and Belgium, while the fossils from North America, Asia and even the older fossils from England (dating to the very start of the Cretaceous) were all reclassified as distinct iguanodont genera (Barilium, Dakotadon, Owenodon, etc.) There is no controversy about their classification, and you're just parroting an outdated notion about Iguanodon being widespread and highly successful. Ask any paleontologist and they'll say the same thing as me.
Built in prison shank
Act dumb, get the thumb. 😂
We’ve been reconstructing these ancient animals based on their skeletons how about we reconstruct modern animal skeletons without the knowledge that we know their features and shape??? Would we be so accurate?? I bet not…
All Yesterdays
look at a guinea pig skeleton then look at it with with fur and flesh looks like a completly diff animal right? so we wont know if dinodaurs had thick necks maybe a diplodocus had a thick neck or maybe dinos were fatter maybe a fatter tail
You mean "That Ruled Science"? Iguanodon, Megalosaurus and Hylaeosaurus were the 3 discovered dinosaurs in the history of palaeontology
"Um well actually"
That is all I hear.
The best part is when they all three got together & said "it's saurin' time!" before dinosauring all over Paleontology. Truly one of the three Dinosaurs ever.
@@bustavonnutz Megalosaurus is one of the dinosaurs to exist.
All just assumptions, not more! No one has been there at the time to watch them. It's just as simple as that. If you watch a video on Iguanodon in 5 years, everything assumed today will probably be maculature.
Palaeontology is NOT guesswork. :)
My concerns with fossils are that do we have any Desert Dwelling animals? Because every video I see, it's always... always water or near-water animals.
