The Dinosaurs That Slept For Eternity

- So much is missing from the fossil record of our planet's past. But sometimes a fossil is found that's preserved in such extraordinary detail it almost looks like the animal it once came from is still there - just sleeping for eternity.

“gonna sleep cya tomorrow”
“Cya”
*last online: couple million years ago
this is so sad guys can we reach 2 million likes
I felt that
Bruh
@@sergeantsonso3490 No
That hit me deep!!!
Doctor : You have been sleeping for more than 123 million years.
Changmiania : Oh boy that's alot of time. I wonder what are the non-avian dinosaurs doing today and which point of evolution they are at.
Doctor : Visible concern
The non-avian dinosaurs are probably a chicken
@снежный they are 100% a chicken 🤣
@@snowy3219 Chickens are avian.
@@williamjordan5554 lol yes i speak spanish so i guessed " aviar " is related to fly for some reason XD
@@snowy3219 I mean you are correct, avian means you can fly, and chickens can fly, just for very short periods of time.
They were efficient burrowers and fast runners. A dinosaur species that filled the niche rabbits occupy today.
Rabbits today occupy their niche, changmiania come first.
Yes and probably just as much on the list of food items for predators.
... and like Rabbits they tasted like Chicken
But they ate flesh, didnt they?
@@terryenglish7132 Actually rabbits taste a bit closer to very bland pork. They're about at lean as chicken though and have very little fat. Plus ofc wild rabbits vary more than domestic ones because of their own diets
When you oversleep by a few million years
should've set an alarm
Queen Elizabeth: no I don't think I will
Lmao!!
weedlefong:art series
It's actually interesting when almost everyone is complaining that Russian politicians occupy their political posts for too long because they are holding them for 20 years but no one except for British people pays attention that queen Elizabeth is holding her post as a queen for almost *70 years straight*
Almaz Zagitov that’s because she’s not a politician.
I did not intend for this to become a political debate
The lahar was effectively the most snug blanket ever
But is it as snug as those tucked in hotel blankets
Yeah, it’s like that scene in monster house where the fat lady fell down a hole and got concrete poured on her.
That would be comfy.
Wish my blankets were that snug
I’ve experimented with a slightly different style for this video, let me know what you think of it. I realise that I still look kind of odd when reading from a teleprompter which is something I want to improve, so I thought a good way to do that would just be to practise by doing more presenting on camera. This isn’t how all videos are going to be from now on, I just wanted to try something different.
It sounds good👍
Remember to pin
I like it. Please keep it up
I think this is a great format. Nice presentation once again. Btw, when will the next video covering the accuracies of WWD be coming along? :)
You do not look odd reading from a teleprompter, not in any way that anyone other than yourself notices. I recommend keeping the teleprompter.
2020 is such a great year for paleontology.
First it was the lizard head in amber, next it was the new Spinosaurus material, then the re-done Dilophosaurus, then Scliedosaurus got a reworked skeletal, then a frozen Ice Age bear was found, and now this.
2020 for basically everything else in the world on the other hand...
Spaceflight has also had a decent year
Many Scientists Dream Year... Especially if your tried of travel and groups of people hearing you talk or having to go in early to the museum. Imagine all the research you can get done under lock down.
A bitter sweet find. Curled up safe & comfy at home when they were entombed in a dinosaur version of Pompeii. In fact you get the same feel from these finds as you get from the body casts from Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Didn’t the people in Pompeii (mostly) die rather brutally then peacefully in their sleep?
@@mmcat2863 Can we tell from the fossils what temperature the lahar or pyroclastic flow was when it buried the animals? Suffocated &/or burned or just entombed quickly... Neither could be defined as "peaceful".
@@Aengus42 True, though the dinosaur still looks like it was sleeping, whereas most bodies from Pompeji show people visibly twisted and writhing in agony as they were suffocated or roasted alive.
At home? Dinosaurs had no home.
@@Marquis-Sade These animals scraped out a burrow underground. I'd call that a home. See 03:48 to 07:10 on the video.
A place to eat, sleep & raise young protected from the outside.
Do rabbits & badgers make homes?
Edit: Added timestamps.
So poetic, kind of like sleeping beauty if she just died and got fossilised.
Grim brothers: "why didn't I think that"
I think that would have been a much better ending
Lol
I could imagine a paleontologist seeing this dinosaur once upon a dream. Maybe we'll even find the remains of a certain dragon.
well sort of, without the creepy prince helping himself to an incapacitated dinosaur against her dinosaur will.
Goodnight little dinos, rest in peace
😢
RIP
Changmiania Liaoningensis:
"aight Ima sleep for a while."
*millions of years later.*
Changmiania Liaoningensis:
"I shouldn't have snoozed my alarm."
And I was just at the end of a Ben G Thomas re-watch marathon!
This is one of my favorite discoveries of 2020! To think how much we can learn from a specimen as spectacular as this.
2020 has seen a lot of great discoveries, recently the first preserved cave bear was discovered in Siberia due to the unfortunate melting of the permafrost.
Ansh that’s so cool
A little burrowing dinosaur? Interesting. Kind of feels like a niche commonly filled by small mammals like rodents later on. no pun intended.
KRJayster 👌
Niches are a human construct that don't really apply to nature. A victorian means of categorizing we need to get past.
It's my drinking game whenever I watch these videos, take a swig whenever you hear niche said, or read in the comments.
@@poppedweasel Can you explain why niche isn't a good metaphore for quite uncommon lifestyles?
@@JosephSchneider26 Is T Rex a hunter or a scavenger? What niche does it occupy?
Show me a hyena that can't hunt and a lion that will not scavenge. Niche implies there is a set number of alcoves in which to pigeon hole species by behaviour. The thing is, nearly all animals show behaviour well outside of their means for survival.
Is top predator a niche? What if all the big carnivores die off? If their are no lions do hyenas fill that top predator niche? Or are they just carrying on as they always do, rather than behave according to our pigeon holes.
Niches imply animals are behaving according to their lot in life. They rarely do If you look at what people mean when they say niche, you will find many examples from the same species of any species that live outside said niche.
It's a throwback to victorian biology when there was the belief every animal behaved as the Lord created. There's far too much species variation in behaviour, habitat and food choice in nearly every plant and animal. Species are far too fuzzy a concept to be pinned down into niches.
@@poppedweasel bruh, you're overthinking it. Chill. It's just a categorization to ease understandment. Just like (species, family, evolution) and every other scientific terms. That said, the term niche is still used because it works. It's the term used to encapsulate that species lifestyle, where and how it lives, eats, reproduces, etc.
As to your questions about lions and hyenas, we can somewhat predict what would happen if lions went extinct, but to do so, it's needed much more than the knowledge of lions and hyenas niches.
That side by side comparison at 02:58 is awesome. Would love to see this for other animals.
“Sometimes the fossil record is kind” Gave me literal absolute full body chills, the way Ben writes about paleontology with such poetry is beautiful.
i've always been interested in prehistoric life and watching your vids for the past 2 years have taught me so much about Earth's past.
So many different interesting videos that are all extremely well done, this channel really is a gem in a load of shit which im so glad i found.
Just wanted to thank you for all the content bro, Wish nothing but success for this channel 💯
Year 14,000: Breaking News! Dinosaurs have woken up
Theres actually a few scps in which prehistoric fossils are animate and alive, like a allosaurus skeleton.
@@davidmartin9225 i love the allo scp! it just sounds so awesome!!
This channel reminds me how ignorant I am. At 60, there still is so much to learn, so many wondorous paths to trek.
Thank you for fascinating me each time you post.
Incredible creatures uncovered, I am blessed your channel and especially you, found me. Thank you!
**FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS I LAY DORMANT! WHO HAS DISTURBED MY-** Oh, it's you.
Thank you for that tfs joke
Heya best buddy
Whomst ha awaeken the ancient one
Thanks for your hard work, you make me smarter every day.
Video: *dinosaurs that slept for eternity*
Half-life 3 release: "Pathetic"
HL Alyx: Am I a joke to you?
Absolutely cannot get enough of this channel!!!! 🦕🦖
The title of this video is WOW.
Amazing how well preserved these ancient skeletons are.
I've been looking at this channel for a while and it feels like a school project that he liked so much he is still actively doing it
Great video. I liked seeing you face. It made the video pacing work better. With that in mind I didn't like the way it sounded different. Were you using a different mic or is it just a different room?
Keep up the great work!
There is also another burrowing theropod from Niger that was discovered by Paul sereno. This one was a Noasaurid theropod which used its claws and hands to dig out early mammals. It is yet to be named.
Your videos are very high quality. Great job.
Love your videos! Also that bookshelf in the background looks like it’s got some awesome books to have a look for online. Your content always makes me wish I had branched from geology to palaeontology when I had the chance but I’ll definitely not pass up these super detailed, interesting and informative videos from you!
Wow.Good sample.I understand. nice teaching. thank you very much.
The detail in which it was preserved is amazing. Soft soil just enveloped it and its skull is so amazingly perfect and not even shifted around
One of sons is heavily into dinosaurs. I hope he grows up to be like this guy. Gonna have to show him this channel.
Great video, as usual.
I would like to know if you’ll do a video about fossil specimens which are considered as a distinct species whereas they represent a growth stage like Stygimoloch and Dracorex which are supposed to be respectively a teenage and juvenile form of pachycephalosaurus. I wanna know if it’s still debated. Anyway, continue into that way, with your videos, I learn new informations and analyzing methods that would help me in my studies in geology and paleontology.
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
I like your Toys in the Background, they look great.
Great video, super interesting, Id recommend you stick with the Teleprompter as you have so much technical language and Chinese/Latin Taxonomy names etc to read through.
Imagine falling asleep expecting to wake up in a few hours, but instead..........never, and having your remains forever in your final pose
That got nihilistic really quick
Beautiful! This is such an appealing and romantic topic in paleontology love seeing it getting covered! thank you!
First this, and now also a completely preserved cave bear found in Yakutia. Productive week for paleo nerds!
I loved that history of the spitfire you made carry on with your channel please ♥️
Very well done. Thank you.
Putting new meaning to "dirt nap"
Dinosaur : starts sleeping
Volcano : so you have choosen death
Great chanel mate 👍
Especially with the white color of the fossil bones, you can imagine this is the skeleton of an animal that died just a few years ago.
The girl that slept for 20 years,has nothing on this dinosaur.
That's what you get for AFK-ing
Excellent Tutorial!!!
Another youtuber face for the nightmares thank you!
Beautifully preserved specimen, almost unreal!
What an adorable find.
I understand that a sleeping posture comes about after the animal dies and the long neck contracts in a certain way, just as when humans die in fires we assume the pugilist posture, in other words, arms and hands held up as though you would be about to box. So some long necked beings curl as their bodies react to the way the muscles retract. Sometimes forward, as though they were sleeping, and sometimes back, as though they were in agony (as I heard someone refer to it).
this reminds me a episode of lazy town where Robbie rotten disguised himself as an archeologist and pretended to have discovered lazysorous rex or something like that
Thanks, Ben! 👍
I was just thinking about sleeping dinosaurs last night. Specifically, I was wondering about the huge sauropods and whether they could lie down without squishing themselves, but these are much cuter.
My Topic is that the Dinosaurs *definetly* dug holes & nests right?
Maybe
Based on our current scientific understanding , some small ornithopods probably did. But again , we are not sure. Maybe some small theropods also dug holes , but they just didn't show up in the fossil record.
Btw plz don't think that I am Jurassic Park fanboy just by looking at the profile picture. This was the only good Mr. Raptor picture I could find on google and I am not very good at photo editing :/ I also know the importance of scientific accuracy of dinosaurs or any prehistoric creature.
It will be crazy if we ever find a dinosaur that filled a similar niche to naked mole rats
They looked like beautiful animals. Maybe it's weird but every once in a while when thinking about dinos and other prehistorical animals, I get this overwhelming sense of loss that they're gone forever and I'll never see one.
Think you just have a soul that still works correctly. We are meant for empathy, sympathy, nurturing with love and wonder every form that lives. Life is an awesome gift we were meant to deeply mourn its loss.
You are not weird. You are divine. Never become numbed by the petty concerns that bombard you. Stay golden. Dazzle us with such compassionate love.
For the curious, cháng miǎn in Chinese characters is 長眠, and mèi lóng is 寐龍.
Imagine being such a heavy sleeper you don't hear or feel a volcano erupting
0:30 how he just says that name like it's nothing 😂
My only criticism of this new style of video is that the camera is a bit too close to you. Just pull it back a bit and center yourself in the middle of the frame. Other than that fantastic video as always.
Will you make a special video to celebrate reaching 300 000 subcribers?
Please make a 300k special like you guys did with the others 🤩
They are so peaceful-looking. There is no hint of any trauma so their deaths must have been very quick and, I hope, relatively painless. Go on sleeping into eternity cute little dinosaurs, we will keep your memory alive.
Ben, I’m impressed by your Chinese pronunciation!
It amazing to this day we are still discovering new species and new things about dinosaurs.
I've learned a new word.
Lahar
Thank you
*"Oh no! sleep too long!"*
Bravo on your pronunciation!
Demais muito bom parabéns pelo vídeo
The red arrow indicates a gastrolith cluster.
Forgive my ignorance but what is a gastrolith? Small rocks that helped in digestion?
@@gregorybowe9383 Yes, some dinos swallow stones, whatever size would help them to grind up their food in their stomach. When the dino passed, the stones were left there as they don't decay like bone, flesh, etc.
@@gregorybowe9383 exactly
Imagine sleeping then all of a sudden being surrounded by super hot dirt on every inch of your body and you couldn’t move
It would be awesome wenn you can see them in prehistoric park
Great video and your pronunciation of the Chinese place and dinosaur names is pretty good, except for Yixian. It should be pronounced either Yee shian or Yih shian. Either way, the X should be pronounced with more of a SH sound like in shush. Why they don't simply use SH when writing Chinese words in the Latin alphabet I have no idea.
You should make a video about the cave bear they just found
"Well that was a good nap, I wonder how long I was out for?"
Arg, if these had only been pulled out of the ground by a proper team, we might have had the burrow traces with these as well
I want a comic book where the main character explores earth but in alternate timelines where the mass extinctions didn't take place
It really is a Sleeping Beauty.
Chang miania? Wow. Nba paleo
Eventually, we will all have to sleep for eternity. Scary
is your background song oblivion by grimes? sounds exactly like it
Take a shot everytime he says: "CHANGMIANIA"
very fascinating
imagine burrowing and you hit volcanic debris ouch
Wait when was the face reveal?? I’m tryna pay attention but like,,, he’s hot lmao
Beautiful 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The first hadrosaur was found in Haddonfield New Jersey hence the name Hadrosaur it was the first complete dinosaur skeleton ever found and the first dinosaur fossil found in the Americas 🦕 🦖
Can you please do a review of the Creative Beasts Dinosaur Figures?
The guy had a stressful day, let him rest.
"Okay, just five more minutes..."
What is that object that has the red arrows pointing to it?
I was wondering the same.
A nest with eggs? Another fossil?
Gastroliths, stones in the stomach to help grind the food. The stones don't rot like bone, flesh, so they lay where were in the dino's gut.
I never understand people theorizing that this person must have been asleep or this dinosaur must have been asleep when killed and buried in a pyroclastic flow...from what I've read, those things sound like jet engines taking off. No way some person or animal would sleep through it. The ground would have been shaking.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
**Mentions Koreanosaurus**
Rickraptor: Y E S! Y E S !
Spinosaurus tail
Borealopelta Skeleton
Changmiania Skeleton
What's next? The dinosaur version of Chupacabra?
I know it's fossilized bones, but I think it looks kind of cute. 😊
You're hella adorable and I loved the video!
... Chicken with a lizard tail. You cannot tell me that's not a cockatrice
