I remember that I used to think that in England there were only Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, Baryonix,hypsilophodon and Polacanthus since those were the only ones that I would always run in too. But o boy was I wrong not only did England have more dinosaurs it was thriving with them as well as marine reptails, pterasaurs and a number of other little creatures that lived with them.
I love early paleontology and how the first fossils were described. Retro Megalosaurus and Iguanodon are some of my favourite depicions of dinosaurs ever !
The title absolutely floored me. I laughed at it so hard I had to rewatch the video. Most of your videos have such serious names but “bunch of English dinosaurs” just took me by surprise
England was the place where the name "Dinosauria" was created Megalosaurus: *In a brittish accent* Ah yes thats where my, pice of my leg bone was found and those stupid scientist's thought it was a ballsack.......*drinks tea*
And now for specifically England's dinosaur anthem: And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England's mountains green? And was there herds of dinosaurs On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the struggle of life and death, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And did long gone majesty roam here Where now be dark satanic mills? Bring me my claws of burning gold! Bring me my senses of desire! Bring me my jaws, oh clouds unfold! Bring me my musculature of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my chisel sleep in my hand Til we have found all the beasts Of England's green and pleasant past!
If you talk about the british origin of the dinosaurs, use there native name., The Bladdered Stone Blast Diddly-saurs Chums. You dont have to disrepect your own culture for this unloyal colonialsts.

Hell yeah, William Buckland! He deserves more attention than he generally gets today. The Oxford museum displays a wonderful selection of his discoveries.
I went to Oxford's museum last summer and it was great to look at the dinosaur displays, especially the Walking With Dinosaurs props that were used in the series.
@@pixiebubbles2628 Yes true. I meant that the English were the first to know that actual dinosaurs existed, without mistaking them for something else. That's why even the word "dinosaur" was invented by an Englishman.
That Megalosaurus artwork at 4:14 is gorgeous. When I think of Megalosaurus as being English, I suddenly envision one politely apologizing to a Cetiosaurus before tearing into it. The Cetiosaurus in turn responds with a, "Oh, no hard feelings, old chap," as it fights to defend itself.
I'll be honest, when I clicked on this I was fully expecting a bunch of dinosaurs to be calling each other things like "old chap" and eating tea and biscuits
Surprised an episode about Oxfordshire dinosaurs didn't include Metriacanthosaurus given that it's been made quite famous by Jurassic Park despite so little being known about it.
I really like that Camptosaurus display (9:53). Most of the time it is difficult to tell what elements of a fossil skeleton are displayed with considerable artistic license. It's nice to clearly see what is and is not present in the specimen as discovered. Thanks for sharing. -Jake
Right unlike most of western or central Europe the UK is actually part of a continental fragment formed from Neoprotozoic volcanic arcs which got split between Eurasia and North America(Laurentia) which means you actually got continental fauna during the Mesozoic. Also its kind of coincidental that the UK and New England (along with Newfoundland and a few scattered bits through Europe) are both part of the same ancient landmass
- Excuse me, Mr. Cetiosaurus, may I rip off a part of your limb please? - I'm so sorry, Mr. Meglosaurus, but I am afraid this may not be an option today. - What a pity! Well then, thank you and have a nice day, Mr. Cetiosaurus. - Have a nice day, Mr. Megalosaurus, thank you.
How are you gonna include stills from Walking with Dinosaurs when talking about Eustreptospondylusbut no pics of Earl Sinclair from Jim Henson's Dinosaurs when talking about the mighty Megalosaurus?
WOW!! cool names for dinosaurs, I'm glad we have paleontologist to teacher us about dinosaurs history it is awesome to learning about, Thank you so much for this video.
Very nice video -- despite being a big fan of dinosaurs since first learning about them in the mid-1960s, I somehow had missed Cumnoria until now! My only other note would be that I think the correct pronunciation of Monsieur Cuvier's name is "Koo-vee-ay." :-) Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Supposedly a Lexivosaurus was discovered near Hook Norton which changed how people believed the Stegosauri evolved - Originally believing they came from what is now modern Asia, the Lexivosaurus fossil was millions of years older and so suggested Stegosauri evolved from what is now Britain I may be mis-remembering something but that's what I was told
Living about ten minutes outside of Summertown, the thought of dinosaur fossils being discovered there is just weird, especially given how It looks today.
Please, please, please do some of the other British dinosaurs! I'd like to know more about Scelidosaurus, Baryonyx, and any others that hae been unearthed in this country!
Have you guys heard about the new specimen of Tyrannosaurus Rex found in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is the biggest and oldest Rex ever found yet. They named the speciment "Scotty".
This question will be off topic here, just so you’ll know. What are your thoughts on the story of the Tsavo man-eaters? (I may or may not be hinting at a desire to see a video on this)
They were just a pair of lions who developed a sweet tooth for people. They were not sickly, old broken down lions, either. They were young, healthy and well fed. They developed an uncanny ability to tell when they were being stalked. The tale had been made into a movie or two and is also told in a rather dramatic version in Peter Hathaway Capstick's "Death in the Silent Places".
I've seen the BrainScoop video on them which was really fascinating, where they actually looked at the skulls and examined their pathologies. I would definitely consider doing a video on them, but it wouldn't be as good as the BrainScoop one!
George Washington died 25 years before the first dinosaur was discovered. He had no clue they even existed
The king of the tyrants (lizards). To be more precise.
Wow and hi swrve
George Washington had false teeth, but still better teeth than English Dinosaurs.
Ok?

I saw that and said that looks like bollocks. little later start laughing at the name, would have been funny for a dino to be called scrotum.
Scrotumus maximus

I think it would be epic if the first dinosaur that was discovered was named "human nutsack". It really reflects on the immaturity of our own species.
I've got a video on my channel going into the whole story of "Scrotum Humanum", I'd recommend checking that out to give even more depth to the first named dinosaur. :)
I think you're generation is the only one that sees it that way....You really think they named it that as a joke?
Forget the immaturity. The more important thing it illuminates is our sheer self-centeredness!

All hail, the one who went extinct for our sins. May his giant foot claw forever be sharp
You were in the sky protecting The Gaming Beaver during his shant playthrough, weren’t you
when these dinosaurs saw the asteroid, they thought "Odd lookin' bloke, innit?"

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was there herds of dinosaurs
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the struggle of life and death,

And did long gone majesty roam here

I know this video is a couple of years old, but would love to see a part 2 one day.
They would drink tea, wear top hats and hunt foxasauruseses.
I love this channel so much:) nice work. I don't comment much but I appreciate your vids a lot.
Thank you! We appreciate your comment too :D
0:27 ah yes, that’s where I am. The Natural History Museum is like a second home to me.
The English discovered the existence of dinosaurs. A pretty awesome achievement when you think about it.
Dou U Think the Brit's Enjoyed Their Discovery 60 Million Year's B-4 They Created Themselves !? YYZ , Mohawk-Planker .
I heard the Greeks or Chinese did, but mistook them for Dragons.

Judging from their teeth most dinosaurs must have originated from England.

Yep because if they were Greek they would have fallen out from sucking eachother off so profusely

simply amazing
it is always fun to lear more about the dinosaurs naitive to England, reminds me of just how many cool ones live here
I have been needing this because i am writing a book about dinosaurs entering the present day and it is set in England 👍👍
Would like to read it
That's hilarious! My parents originally named me Scrotum too! They're big fans of Balzac.

Im glad I’m not the only one lol
Ayyy that picture at 5:10 and 5:40 are from the New Walk Museum in Leicester... I’ve been there so many times lol
I really like the first megalosaurus design it's very interesting
Lovely. Thanks again for these informative videos.
Lunch is on me if you're ever in Vienna. Cheers, Scott
Ngl when you showed chipping Norton in the map for the cetiosaurus segment of the video and I saw my town on the map, I was actually gassed

Got an ad for teeth care. Of course its on a video about the British
British guy here. Ooof, you got us good.😅
0:28 that is a very nice retrospective.
Bet millions of Megalosaurus were rolling in their bedrocks when they heard Scrotum humanum seriously being suggested as their species name.
Love your videos, Ben! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do! :D
I really like that Camptosaurus display (9:53). Most of the time it is difficult to tell what elements of a fossil skeleton are displayed with considerable artistic license. It's nice to clearly see what is and is not present in the specimen as discovered.
Thanks for sharing.

>English dinosaurs
>No sign of Mr. Pilkington in vid
This is so weird cause I live in Oxford and seeing the rime road and you mentioning Summertown is very surreal!
The cetiosaurus skeleton at 4:56 I have actually had the opertunity of seeing in person it was an awesome experience
the specimen also appears again at 5:33
Pokemon Sword and Shield better have some new fossil Pokemon
And I hope they're all based on English dinosaurs!
You're in luck! They do, and they're based on the mistakes in early British paleontology!
Scrotumon
So, what do you think about the galar fossils? Their inspiration is very interesting and they are my favorites (in terms of group) if you ask me

Also its kind of coincidental that the UK and New England (along with Newfoundland and a few scattered bits through Europe) are both part of the same ancient landmass
Tying dinosaurs to modern countries is somewhat weird. The world was completely different.
Newly discovered Tea-Rex should have been mentioned in the video.
- Excuse me, Mr. Cetiosaurus, may I rip off a part of your limb please?
- I'm so sorry, Mr. Meglosaurus, but I am afraid this may not be an option today.
- What a pity! Well then, thank you and have a nice day, Mr. Cetiosaurus.
- Have a nice day, Mr. Megalosaurus, thank you.
Not a single lip on any of those damn dinosaurs💀
Thanks, Britain
I’m actually fossil hunting with my uni next year on the Isle of Wight. Hopefully I find a piece of baryonyx bones on it

would love to hear more about specific regions and the dinosaurs found. Perhaps do a couple or European countries too?

Ah yes, my favorite british pterosaur.
*Spitfirepteryx Merlinus*
And it's german enemy
*Pterasserschmitt Bfhundertneun*

this dinosaur not drink water to satisfy their thirst instead they sipping tea
