The past is a vast and mysterious land that begins at the big bang and ends in the present, expanding with each passing moment. It is the home of everything that came before, the key to understanding our present. Here we find the most amazing creatures to ever roam our planet, hundreds of millions of species so diverse that our imagination cannot do them justice. Unfortunately the past carefully guards its secrets.

Every episode gets better animation and effects. Incredible.
Ok Checkmark
@@RexysFamilyDinerShorts dude, stop writing the same comment over and over again
Really impressive, basically any moment could be a desktop background
ikr i remember watching his videos years ago 😅 lots of those lil bird dudes
Also the knowledge
The audio on this one was very cinematic.
Also the narration was top notch. Wish I could narrate my videos as good as them
Very mood inductive. I was on the verge of tears at some point.
@@luisfdconti like he said, TIME doesn't care about emotions. That's one thing humans, animals and everyone can never get back. Beautiful isn't it.
i recommend listening to the scores on their own. beautiful not only as a soundtrack but as standalone music. artists are called Epic Mountain
ikr , i can't really focus into the video because i really enjoy the soundtrack 😂
Imagining dinosaurs with bright colours and unique pallets is far far more interesting and heartwarming than the usual drab colours
It would also be quite inaccurate for the large carnivores, for which bright colors would impare its ability to hunt prey.
@@Why79-dx4rf I meant in a creative sense. Realistically yes, they would almost definitely not have these vibrant colours. But in illustrations or artworks, I think it makes them more fun to look at. Like in this video for example!
@@grimsladeleviathan3958I like your profile pic!
It's unlikely because back then it was hot so hot and humid forests basically covered 50 or 70% of the land if it was humid feathers would make you sweat and sweating looses water loosing water means you would die from lack of water scales are more efficient
@BlakeWilder-n1u when is "back then"? You know that the history of dinosaurs spans more than just the late cretacious right? And we have very physical evidence of many smaller dinosaurs needing feathers, because of gigantothermism.
Love how he describes the human body: it’s mainly squishy, gooey, soft stuff which does not preserve well.
Hes very right, which is why we're constantly changing our view of past species. Just a little bit of difference can completely change things like how scaly skin samples were all we had but then we discovered traces of feathers on dinosaurs.
The human body actually does preserve very well, actually. Granted it be alive of course.

Yeah eating it is not very recommended

"Time marches on without any concern for our feelings and the past expands with every moment that passes."
That hit harder than it should have.
There's always one that gets me in every episode I've ever watched 😉
I watched the video for the Dinosaurs but as it is a Kurzgesagt video, of course it will fill me with some sort of existential crisis of sorts.
"time's arrow neither stays still nor reverses. It merely marches forward."
Don't despair...
If anything, this kind of "reality check" usually encourages me to treat what I have and what I experience with respect, and do what I can to enjoy and have a full life :)
how rare is this channel,s dinosaur videos? well they have a 20% chance of making one
8:31 that dance animation was smooth af
More than smooth !
It look likes it's a 2D-render of a 3D-animated object.
Astonishing.
hello c h e c k m a r k
mhm
Please expand your vocabulary so that you don't need to use such a bumpkin expression like "af"
Fake
"The past expands with every moment that passes" that line goes hard
3:26 actually there were a lot of dinosaur giraffes. For example Brachiosaurus Argentinosaurs and so much more! Also the extinct animals we think of and think of as animals chordates/vertebrates fish amphibians reptiles and mammals make up a tiny fraction of species that existed. Probably alot less than 1%. Half or more of the ones that were there were fish. The vast majority of extinct species are insects. Not animals youd think of like dinosaurs ancient mammals ancient amphibians or even prehistoric fish. So those animals didnt exactly have the insane uncomprehendable amount of species this video makes you think and those animals could probably all be put in categories easy to comprehend. But there would still be a lot of species. Also there is hope because humans could find a way to bring em back. And you can also see em in heaven.
This was one of the most beautiful animated videos with one of the most beautiful messages I’ve ever seen

@@Cat_Garfield You seem familiar.
It's not done only to animals.
That's speciesism, right? Or classism.
I don't really cry at sad movies, stories or books despite being an emotional person... And yet this brought me to tears. At how much information has been lost, how many species there are to mourn as completely dead, at how amazing life is, and how important it is to preserve. Amazing video- I never had much of an interest in dinosaurs before now!

Paleontologist here, since I was a child I have always been fascinated by dinosaurs, all the books I read, toys I bought, documentaries I watched, etc. EVERYTHING was related to dinosaurs. It seemed incredible to me that millions of years ago such creatures existed. Since that age I knew that my passion was paleontology, I never was a model student, I spent 2 years in a career that I did not like because I could not enter the biology degree, I repeated the university entrance exam and after 7 years since after finishing school, I was able to graduate as a biologist and ended up being a paleontologist. From the books I read as a child with lanky dinosaurs looking like giant lizards until I first collaborated in the excavation of a dinosaur many years have passed, I try my best every day trying to find out how these magnificent creatures looked like. Great video as always, greetings!
wholesome hour ❤️
Dam i already forgot the details of what you said.
A very beautiful life story for your children to witness
Keep following your passion. Thank you for all of your work

"Life finds a way" the best phrase that resumes everything
However there are so many videos on youtube of life NOT finding a way.

I never felt so sad watching a video about dinosaurs. This is beautiful.
"it's a lot of fun to animate."
I think the guy that voices the dinos are having more fun.

It is fun to animate. However it is incredibly tedious and time consuming too
@@daffodil3063 yeah they take 8 to 12 weeks to create 1 video

Yeah.
"Hey! Animator, since it's so fun to animate dinos, you'll work twice as hard and make the dinos look extra cool? Fun right? 😁"
At least that's what I imagined hearing those words 😅
"But such is life, time marches on without any concern for our feelings and the past expands with every moment that passes."
This was very touching.
It's literally the universe telling us: Facts Over Feels

Sad, but true. Eventually, we too will be gone without a trace. Even the Earth and Sun themselves...

@@Vojife I came here to make that same comment :) 🐎
The OST, especially in this episode, plays an ENORMOUS role. Amazing how the music can elevate the video. Truly a masterpiece.
And it's all original per episode.
I know right! The one that starts at 9:00 is incredible
@@lucash7012 it's actually one whole song with movements like long classical pieces (without being classical). The artist is called Epic Mountain.
As a biology major I am glad you did this. All dinosaurs were just giant birds. They had feathers and were probably intelligent. The movies give them no justice. They were probably insanely beautiful.
No, not all dinosaurs were birds
not all of them had feathers
@@xenome3883 you are telling a biologist something you didn't even learn yet
@@Angel-yn1kt they aren't saying they were birds? They are saying they were LIKE birds
@@ProntoLamatic It is true, both of the things they said, not all dinosaurs were like birds and not all of them had feathers. Not that I am saying the biology major is wrong, they just need to phrase what they said a bit better. The thing you have to understand is that dinosaurs lived for about 3 times the amount of time it has been since they disappeared, and so they were very bio-diverse. Humans and whales are more closely related than something like tyrannosaurus and triceratops are.
As someone who was obsessed with dinosaurs as a child, watching this video feels a little bit like coming full-circle. It's like hearing about dinosaurs for the first time, but as an adult, and gaining new insight and a new appreciation for them and all the living things that have roamed the earth and continue to roam it. Thanks for making such insightful and absolutely beautiful videos. You guys are great
:)
I feel you ❤

I feel same
Same here. I've always been a big dinosaur fan, there was something so appealing and badass about them to me. I still have my pile of dinosaur figures hidden deep inside my closet!

Hits wayy to hard

Your picture is adorable 🥰
I teared up as well, partially in sadness, but mostly in joyful anticipation. "I saw heaven and earth new-created." (Rev. 21:1) "The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same time into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens." (Romans 8:18-21)
I look forward to meeting all these amazing creatures in the new earth God has promised to those who trust him! I can hardly wait!
@@amberthesalamander thank you! I drew it :)

Wait…these are kids videos?
@@mannyd_a No. I don't think these are oriented towards a specific age group.
sup guys cool to see ya here
Adults can enjoy animation too
Really changes a person's mentality by watching these brilliant videos.
For everyone that wonders why these videos feel so refreshing, meaningful and uplifting: It's because they're enthusiastic about the past, the present and the future, about the wonder of life itself, which makes you feel greatful for being alive and a human being, something very rare in these days. The whole zeitgeist has become so doomy and misanthropic, that we thirst for a positive outlook on life.

What a tribute to the lost creatures we will never have the pleasure of viewing.
It makes me even more grateful to have seen and known the animals that exist today, bc in the future, people will be awestruck at creatures like elephants and tigers, that we see as ordinary; and maybe... even us.
Never thought I see this comment here.
same feeling when they speculate the dinosaurs could be much more lifeful and diverse than our movies and pictures tell to us. very touching.
@@MrUssy101 well atleast its entertaining
66 million years in the future, aliens make a movie about humans and elephants and tigers and how they were ferocious, scaly beasts.

“They are fun to animate” plot twist: the narrator is holding the animators captive
xD hahahahaha
well when you put it like that...
Lmao lmao
all the better when it produces such mesmerising animation
double plot twist: the animators are holding the narrator captive
Triple plot twist: the captives are holding the animators narrated.
Who ever does the audio work for these videos is just a master at accentuating the sense of awe and wonder that naturally comes with these topics. Hats off to the whole Kurzgesagt crew for such amazing content, but a special shout out to the audio person/team.
Huge props to C.M. Kosemen for his "skinwrapping" illustrations of living animals given the same treatment we used on depictions of dinosaurs. He is seldom mentioned as one of the most important paleoartists of our time.
Kosemen is a blessing
C.M. Kosemen gets a lot of mention whenever paleo-art comes up actually. I do agree that his excellent work is vitally important.
I specifically wouldn't know about him if the channels I watched didn't keep mentioning his name.
@@ovrsurge4689 I agree that he has become quite popular as of late due to the rise in popularity of works like All Tomorrows. I just wanted to remark on just how important he is. But i really like the reply :)
@@stevenee-san6201 I love all tomorrows so much if there's anything else like it please point me in the right direction
E
The animators went above and beyond for this video. They animated living animals, extinct animals (that we can only make educated guesses as to what they looked like), and animals that we can literally only imagine. All done beautifully. This video should get an award for its animation.

Finally a comment that’s not by a verified person
It's the best quality channel in TH-cam maybe together with MelodySheep
I AGREE! SH*T!!!
This is how all their videos are, and I agree they’re amazing. They spend thousands of hours on each video and the animations paired with the narration makes for a really good video every time.
The colors, the shading, the movement, the design, every single video is even better than the last one, you guys are beasts. Keep it up!
The music as well, wonderfully emotive and compelling.
no they are dinosaurs
@@242Tanvirkeero242 no no no they are ducks
@@tim9241 Not to mention the sound design
correction, they are birds*
It’s weird to think that there could have been different fruits and food that existed when dinosaurs did. We will never know how they taste or what they were
This video basically nailed the reason I went into Zoology instead of Paleontology despite my passion for both. There's just such a diversity of life around today that it feels tragic to ignore that in favour of yearning for a past we'll never fully understand.
its sad we will never truly know what a dinosaur looks like or what creatures we missed, because the skeletons look entirely different
some animals dont leave any trace
The reason I went into Palaeontology instead of Zoology is because studying extinct animals makes you truly cherish the diversity of life today, because you study exactly how life evolved over time.
Wow, that's actually very cool
@@pastlife960 Different strokes; I'm glad that people like you are in the field since we all have different interests. I have nothing negative to say about those that decide to pursue the natural sciences since the only consequence is more knowledge and more revelations about the wonderful world we live in.
@RainCheck "We are currently in the biggest mass extinction event" Wrong.
1st: Ordovician Silurian
"There are approximately 445 Ma, at the limit between the Ordovician and the Silurian, a mass extinction occurs, probably following a great glaciation which would have recorded climatic and ecological disorders making difficult the adaptation of species and ecosystems to the retreat of the sea for hundreds of kilometers, then on its return at the end of the glacial phase. It results in the disappearance of 27% of families and 57% of genera of marine animals11,12, and an estimate of 85% at the species level."
2nd: Carboniferous Devonian
Between 380 and 360 million years ago, the Devonian extinction, which includes several phases of extinction, eliminated 19% of families and 35 to 50% of genera of marine animals11 and an estimate of 75% at the species level 14. Repeated and significant variations in sea level and climate, as well as the appearance of significant vegetation cover on the continents, could be the cause of ocean anoxia and major biological crises. The causes of these changes are still debated.
3rd:Permian-Triassic
Between 252 and 245 Ma ago, the Permian-Triassic extinction was the most massive. Almost 95% of marine life disappears as well as 70% of land species (plants, animals). This extinction was preceded by two smaller events, the extinction of Olson (−273 Ma) and that of the Capitanian (in) (−260 Ma)
4: Jurassic Triassic
201 Ma ago, the Triassic-Jurassic extinction marked the disappearance of 75% of marine species, and 35% of animal families, including most of the diapsids and the last of the large amphibians.
5th: Cretaceous Paleocene
66 Ma ago, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction killed 50% of species, including non-avian dinosaurs.
We are not living through a mass extinction nor the "biggest"
"In 2007, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimated that one in eight bird species, one in four mammals and one in three amphibians"
It does 20% we are far faaaaar away from the 80%(or even 50), so don't worry we are not living through the "biggest mass extinction event".
I'm not denying a lot of species are dying out there that shouldn't tho and it is a problem.
I never knew a fictional dinosaur character like Barney would actually end up being historically accurate.
well they said to use our imagination
You're joking, but the coloration is entirely artistic license to make a nice looking video. Think about it; why would either predator or prey develop coloration that works against them being able to survive and breed longer? Birds that are extremely colorful usually live in environments that suit their coloration and have an advantage of being able to quickly flee by flying away. Exotic bird coloration also is usually more prominent in males, where the range of genetic variation is greater in almost all species. That coloration is also frequently used as distraction away from females that have eggs or hatchlings just as much as in mating rituals. Most mammals, reptiles, insects, and slower birds are earth or plant toned or at least suited to their environment/role in the food chain.
Even the idea that dinosaurs had feathers is based on the presumption that the marks of soft tissue are the same as modern birds; they could just as easily have been quills like in a porcupine or some chitinous formations like in insects or keratin like hair and nails in mammals. Taking this video to its own conclusions of randomly adding more soft tissue because animals have it now would lead to thinking an animal like a tiger had huge wing flaps like flying squirrels and that they glided down from trees to get prey. They use an example of of making a sea lion look like a four legged land animal, but it can just as easily go the other direction.
@Horamberg I'd say they mostly died out due to a big cataclysm and reduced in size thanks to ever lowering oxygen levels in the atmosphere. We have reptiles and birds as the survivors, though.
@Horamberg no, i didn't say evolution only produces better results. It's a result of environmental pressure. It's far more likely mass extinctions occurred because of cyclical imbalance in carbon levels causing plant explosions which put so much oxygen in the air fires last longer and burn wider. Volcanic activity was higher then and until humans started deforesting wide swaths of land, most forests were on fire yearly.
You should learn to use the correct form of they are before trying to drop knowledge.
@Horamberg what magic words, moron? Geologic record clearly shows cyclic mass fires across the planet after the explosion of plants.
Another point to make is dinosaurs seemingly have to be “cool” and “badass”. People for some reason seem to shrug these prehistoric creatures off if they are portrayed to be feathered, colorful, and realistic. Just like a lot of modern animals don’t appear that intimidating, the same thing can be applied to dinosaurs.
There are a couple of animated videos on TH-cam that show this.
People always say animals aren’t intimidating until they actually see one, it doesn’t matter how fluffy and colourful they are, once one starts chasing you down that’s when they are actually scary.
I reckon there’s quite the amount of modern animals that do appear intimidating though
I don't even get what about having feathers and colors make them less cool. I've never gotten the argument. For one, dinosaurs aren't fiction or made up. They really existed. So you can't just be a designer and DECIDE how they looked based on how much you like it. For two, having feathers doesn't make them look less cool?? I think it actually makes them look COOLER. The intricate designs and interesting mechanisms you get from feathers can't be replicated by flat skin with scales. Have you seen birds of paradise? If they were the size of a t-rex and frilled their feathers, you'd be WAY more scared of them than any rex.
@@Shmat49 I mean we are animals too and indeed.. humans can be damn scary. But the fact is.. the overwhelming majority of the other animals will never chase down a human since humans are even physically stronger and taller than most animals that live today.
I love how you have a playlist called “The Existential Crisis Playlist”
This got rather emotional towards the end of the video :
"How intensely amazing these creatures must have been. And what a loss it is to us that we don't get to experience them first hand" 😢 Another beautiful video. Thanks, Kurzgesagt.
not much of a loss other than to serve the purpose of fascination
I call it a win , people tend to fantasize about a lot of things and have misconceptions about different situation , I'll put it this way imagine a dog as large as you are that's faster has bigger teeth , can out climb you outrun you and outswim and is impossible to domesticate and that's not even 25% of how dangerous it would be with dinosaurs alive today , there would be nowhere you could run or hide ,and each time you sleep could possibly be the last time , even going outside for food would mean death because of "death from above"(I'll let you guess what I'm talking about)
Then we wont had survived
Nah as a matter of fact we are lucky cuz would never be able to exist if they didn’t disappeared in the first place
Good 👍👍👍
Awesome episode.
So dinosaurs were less "Thunder-Lizard" and more "pokemon". I think we could all be ok with that.
Imagine if we could open a window to the past and we find that dinosaurs had a fledgling society that was cut short by the asteroid
ok

This got me weirdly emotional, when I was a kid I was a massive fan of dinosaurs and even wanted to be an archeologist at some point, I was incredibly interested in dinosaurs and when I discovered that what I knew about dinosaurs was almost entirely wrong (for example, the fact that they're more like birds than lizards) sparked my curiosity again when I got older, and this video made me feel like a kid again, imagining how amazing dinosaurs must've been and seeing them first hand is a thought that makes me really happy and nostalgic, amazing video as always.

Human history has the same story where there are still some parts of our history that end up getting forgotten and never to be learned or discovered or even have different believes and have parts be discovered and imagined differently from how it may have actually happened. Same thing applies with the many prehistoric creatures in the world. Sounds like a sad tale where there are parts of the past that will never be discovered or never learn the truth of, but it's part of history.

It just breaks my heart and I haven't come to terms with it for almost 20 years.
It has taken me until my late 30s. I am finding myself shocked at just how fast time seems to be going by. I used to think, “hooray, it’s Friday night but Monday morning is just around the corner”. Now it’s, “it’ll be another Friday night three weeks later in a minute”. And I know it is only going to accelerate. At some point, it’ll hit you too. Maybe sooner, maybe later. You just have to make sure you do what you can to get the things you want out of life as quickly as possible before it’s too late. Go all in and make the most of what you’re able to.

With education, and expending our knowledge, and sharing it with the entire human species. With the will to be good gods, the kind that would role this universe (or perhaps multi) with intelligence and kindness.
So go ahead and learn something, then teach it to someone else.
And the most important thing to learn and remember, is that humanity is kind and good from there basic genetics.

Every single one of those mass extinctions are the very condition by which human existence has been made possible. The same way that every single one of the decisions you made in your life brought you to this instant, the appearance and disappearance of past species made it possible for us to exist in the first place. There would have been no such thing as a human if the dinosaurs hadn't died out for instance.
All that being said, I completely share your sentiment; I still get upset every time I think about the Library of Alexandria!
@@ICreatedU1 this is not necessarily true. People always assume what happened is the only route to the destination. There may be things that can be changed that will still produce the same result.
No not every single one of those mass extinction is the reason for humanity, some may be some may not, not all.
Your claim that if dinosaurs still existed there would be no humanity is utterly baseless and is a mere conjecture.
@@joweebird1993
"Your claim that if dinosaurs still existed there would be no humanity is utterly baseless and is a mere conjecture."
The only reason mammals and ultimately hominids managed to become the number one form of life on this earth is precisely because they could fill ecological niches left empty by the disappearance of dinosaurs.
From a Reuters science article:
"With dinosaurs no longer eating them, mammals made quick evolutionary strides, assuming new forms and lifestyles and taking over ecological niches vacated by extinct competitors. Within 700,000 years of the mass extinction, their body mass had become 100 times bigger than the mammals living immediately after the mass extinction. “*Were it not for the asteroid, humans would never have evolved*,” said Ian Miller, curator of paleobotany and director of earth and space sciences at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science."
"No not every single one of those mass extinction is the reason for humanity, some may be some may not, not all."
Again, I beg to differ. Mass extinction are events of such major consequences and on such scale that there is a "before" and "after". Moreover, mass extinctions are a powerful engine of evolution which often kick start a heightened diversification rate of life to such an extent that the "after" is substantially different from what came before e.g aerobic vs anaerobic, mammals vs reptiles etc.
From wikipedia:
"Mass extinctions have sometimes accelerated the evolution of life on Earth. When dominance of particular ecological niches passes from one group of organisms to another, it is rarely because the newly dominant group is "superior" to the old but usually because an extinction event eliminates the old, dominant group and makes way for the new one, a process known as adaptive radiation. For example, mammaliformes ("almost mammals") and then *mammals existed throughout the reign of the dinosaurs, but could not compete in the large terrestrial vertebrate niches which dinosaurs monopolized. The end-Cretaceous mass extinction removed the non-avian dinosaurs and made it possible for mammals to expand into the large terrestrial vertebrate niches. The dinosaurs themselves had been beneficiaries of a previous mass extinction, the end-Triassic, which eliminated most of their chief rivals, the crurotarsans*."
From the University of Berkeley:
"Mass extinctions, like the one that killed the non-bird dinosaurs, leave behind a host of empty niches - unoccupied ecological real estate. [...] As lineages invade different niches and become isolated from one another, they split, regenerating some of the diversity that was wiped out by the mass extinction. *The upshot of all these processes is that mass extinctions tend to be followed by periods of rapid diversification and adaptive radiation. Of course, the best known example of this occurred 65 million years ago when mammals began to diversify into the niches formerly occupied by dinosaurs*."
"a short burst of origination events follows each mass extinction [...] This is consistent with the idea that surviving taxa rapidly diversify into niches left vacant after a mass extinction. Once the burst of origination is over, diversification rates return to a lower level until the next post-mass-extinction period."

Keep in mind:
1. We wouldn’t exist if dinosaurs weren’t killed off. If the asteroid missed, dinosaurs would reign supreme and mammals wouldn’t be able to split apart and evolve, cause we’d all be killed off by them.
2. We don’t even know how these dinosaurs SOUND, and recent studies of how dinosaurs sound are SCARY AS HELL. So actually seeing and hearing a dinosaur would make us sigh and be glad that they’re dead now.
Pretty messed up to think about. 💀
You’re over-exaggerating mammals wouldn’t have been completely killed off by dinosaurs that’s the same as saying “disinfectants” will completely kill off germs when in reality only 99% of them would die but that percentage isn’t even close to what dinosaurs could do to mammals, the dinosaurs only shaped us to what we are today and how they sharpened our senses they’re the reason why we have evolved to have great hearing senses and sight so we could better avoid them to survive.
@@Autistic_R4tard if they hadn't have died and left open niches for us to fill, it could be argued that we wouldn't be about.
@@thehowlingjokerNo we would still exist but not as how we are now evolution would just lead us to a different path. Remember they’re the reason we had to adapt and sharpen our senses to better avoid them, we’ve been living alongside them for millions of years before the asteroid anyways slowly adapting to survive they simply helped shaped us to who we are.
These dinosaurs design are the most gorgeous I have ever seen, what an incredible sight
I remember decades ago when artists first started rendering "colorful" dinosaurs. Books and magazines that featured such depictions usually had a note by them, cautioning the reader that the rendition was "speculative" and that "nobody knows what dinosaurs really looked like." This always struck me as odd, because I grew up as a child with green, brown, and sometimes steely-blue dinosaurs in my books, but nobody ever cautioned at that time that those depictions were likewise "speculative", they were merely "conventional" and had become accepted over time for no particularly good reason except that modern reptiles are the same colors (while ignoring modern reptiles that are strikingly colored and patterned). Such is the conservatism of science, which is not always based on knowledge, but upon what is acceptable at any given time.
