The Last Dinosaurs: How Birds Survived a Mass Extinction
When an asteroid crashed into the Earth 66 million years ago, the reign of the dinosaurs was suddenly brought to a fiery end. But this was not the end of their story.
Whilst T. rex and Triceratops were no more, a single lineage of dinosaurs remained - birds.
In this video, we discuss just how our feathered friends outlasted their behemoth brethren and explore how birds survived a mass extinction.

Elephants: Far Stranger than You'd Think
Просмотров 7282 года назад
Elephants are easily some of our most easily recognisable creatures, but the fact that they are so familiar has distracted us from just how strange they really are. A lineage containing some of the world’s largest ever land mammals as well as some of the strangest appendages known to man - elephants are a lineage deserving of a second glance. Seeing our elephants in a different light might help...
Daddy Long Legs: What Exactly Are They?
Просмотров 25 тыс.3 года назад
It is not uncommon for animals to be known by multiple names, but what if multiple animals are known by the same name? The name daddy long legs means many things to many people - here we explore the creatures behind the title. With daddy long legs, you might assume it’s all about the legs, but dig a little deeper and you’ll discover that there is a lot more to them than initially meets the eye....
Conservation Con: Are Pandas Worth Saving?
Просмотров 9894 года назад
Whilst many people love giant pandas, there exists a movement who would wish to give up on the black and white bear and let them go the way of the dodo. From poor breeding to attention stealing, here we dispel the myths surrounding pandas and their supposed failings - discovering a creature far from the incompetent caricature often portrayed. By no means useless, the greatest con of all may hav...
Echidnas: An Unexpected History
Просмотров 6 тыс.4 года назад
Although often referred to as ‘living fossils’, echidna evolution has by no means been static. Here we explore the unpredictable tale of the echidna - a wonderful creatures whose oddity runs far more than skin deep. Often dismissed as unchanging, the evolution of echidnas is anything but.

Great Auks: The First Penguins
Просмотров 24 тыс.4 года назад
Whilst we may often think of penguins as of an Antarctic persuasion, until relatively recently, Arctic waters were home to their very own penguins. Some might even call them THE penguins, their southern relatives only co-opting their name. Sadly, these penguins are no more - the result of rampant human over-exploitation. Their story is a sad one, but by recognising it, we can act to prevent it ...
The Resurrection of Brontosaurus
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.4 года назад
For most species we view extinction as an end-point. For Brontosaurus, however, its extinction marked only the beginning of its story. From squabbling scientists to misplaced heads, Brontosaurus is a dinosaur that has seen it all, even death (twice). The story of Brontosaurus is not only the story of a dinosaur that refused to stay dead, but one of the people tasked with studying it. Looking fo...
Not a spider
i’m sad this channel didn’t get found by its people so it could take off. i love the animation, content and soothing voice. exactly what i want before bed and to sleep too
Wow
Crocodilians are the same way! And people call them 'Living Fossils' when in fact they are also simply the survivors of a much more diverse lineage!
From: Echidnas are so strange, they must be 'Living Fossils'. To: They actually evolved more recently. And that makes them even stranger! It's a much more fascinating story because they changed! 👍
Are those first penguins in the north?

Daddy long legs are the little balls with super thin legs in ur garden
I've always thought it meant only a harvestman.
When I was 5 I woke up to a daddy long legs crawling on my face. I screamed so loud in the middle of the night.
I'd hate to wake up to that ughhhh...
Knowing that this happened on St Kilda makes me dizzy; I'm from the isle of lewis and many former st kildan people moved there.. it kills me to know that this species was unfortunately brought to its end somewhere so close to me😢
Interestingly, several lineages of Neornithes existed by this time and survived. Paleognaths, Galloanseriforms (land and water fowl, particularly ducks) and of course, the ancestor of all Neoaves, had all diverged and emerged in the middle Cretaceous, and all seemingly survived the Kg-P extinction event. It would appear as if several different types of Neornithes birds survived. What I also find weird is that terrestrial Enantiornithes existed at this time as well, but did not make it to the post-Mesozoic world. If I had to guess, they were perhaps strict insectivores or carnivores that could not find enough food within their lifestyles, but this was not a hurdle for insectivorous mammals or generalist/seed eating Neornithes.
Auks are different than penguin 🐧
Great auks aren't penguins they are auks or alcids
La palabra pingüino viene del nombre en gaélico del alca gigante, Pen (cabeza) y gwyn (blanco) [Pen gwyn (cabeza blanca)]; y de ahí surgió la palabra penguin (pingüino).
"skeeter eater" I think you mean mosquito eaters. Nobody says skeeter eaters. That's infantilizing
watch at 1.5x speed
So, in summary, we have three long-legged friends. Father Long Legs - The Fly Daddy Long Legs - The Harvestmen Spider Long Legs - The Spider
various different species of animals and plants can share the same or very similar common names thats why common names can sometimes be unreliable
1:19 These types of spiders hang inverted in their messy, jumbled, and irregular webs.
brilliant video!
great videos!
Amazing video!
These aren’t penguins plus there are already penguins that are millions of years old
Really good video
Could it be that platypuses and later echidnas came to thrive in Australia because of their aquatic ancestry? Note that there are no aquatic marsupials, for a very practical reason-- the babies would drown in the pouch-- so the aquatic niches were left unclaimed.
is a giant spider
Thank you for this video. Many people don't know that mammoths are also elephants.
So platypus are living fossils, not echidna. I had heard that about platypus before, but you showing multiple ancient creatures with the same physical attributes and form really drove that point home.
Opiliones seem to make me feel uncomfortable, especially for they’re abnormally long legs, which started my Arachnophobia at the age of 5 when an Opiliones Daddy Long Legs hopped on my left arm. Still this is interesting
A daddy long leg climbed up on my leg flying a kite. Hate them now!

That's an amazing video, with incredible information and sound work! Loved your graphics too! Greetings from Brazil!
How does this video has so little views?
This is an amazing video!
This is one of my favourite birds and I am really sad that they are extinct😢.But don’t worry, scientists are trying to bring back the great auk.This is called de-extinction.
Chatham penguin
Where are the likes on this thing!? This was such an awesome vid!
Except they don't have white heads.
The saiors are the witches not the great auk
Somehow North Pole feels empty without penguins... :"V
it just kinda annoys me how stuff like this (fear of witches and dark magic) could drive the first penguins into extinction
You are delluded and scapegoating innocent people with your false accusations. The great auk were systematically killed for entire summers for their feathers to make down for warm covers. It was an economic greed enterprise similar to how whales were decimated at the same time for oil. Don't accuse innocent. This is quite typical where the powerful culprits minority find a powerless victim majority to accuse instead of them. This is happening with many of the great genocides including slavery. Those who accuse slavery are the one whose ancestors financed it, wanted it and made it happen, and those where not europeans but a well known halogene ethnic minority speculating on money and usury lending that are not named where free expression is not allowed.

I learned many information of the great ack, thats very helpful, great video, thanks a lot!
This video had the potential to be way way better. THis is about a 5yr olds review. I learned nothing beyond the most rudimentary facts, story's & word-0-mouth intelligence brief. What do they eat ? What is their kill zone, their nemesis ? How do you eliminate them before getting overrun by them ?? Stuff kind-a like that.........started out so well and just circled around into the toilet for me. But thanks man What about their bite ? What is their life cycle ? I cleaned my garage and within a week they had completed a FOB, several ! THey seem to have returned in force....all ages from big to babys have overrun my perimeter and are just freaking EVERYWHERE ahhhhhhhhhghhh-hughg-g-g-g-g-g/;^)
This is RUclips, not an encyclopedia.
@@shannonhenson609 well that is perspective I would guess he he hmmmmm? /;^)
I'm not a big fan of Lindsey Graham...but he is correct that Bernie's Marxist answer to everything is not the way to go.
Wow! Think I will use this with my kids next term for our dinosaurs project 👍👍😊 we’ll done!
Really informative and the animation was spot on. Love the asteroid.
Wonderful video man! Great use of visual gags.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Pandas are worth saving please save it
Tales! Omg.you made nice !
Such abuse against dinosaur figurines! Don't tell Darren Naish.
😂
Amazing content on your channel, did you guys know there is an entire chapter of the Quran with the title: Elephants.
The original Penguin, except it wasn’t one. And the only flightless bird that existed in the Northern Hemisphere.
Ostriches are found in the northern hemisphere
