I had cd-roms, books, went to museums, and watched other TV shows and channels that all had things on Dinosaurs as a kid growing up in the 90s. Let alone, toys, clothes, bed linens 😅 They were my favorite thing in the world ❤
The discovery of Dreadnoughtus and its impact on our understanding of dinosaurs is truly groundbreaking. From the massive skeleton to the digital reconstruction that reveals its possible movement and behavior, it's fascinating to see how technology is giving us a clearer picture of these ancient giants.
I'm 70 years old and really never been in to dinosaurs.. However, I found this to be very interesting I watched the whole thing nonstop. Good job you guys and gales.
I had the absolute PLEASURE (many years ago) to be part of the team that worked on the fossil preparation of Dreadnoughtus in one of our labs. Being part of a new species - and a massive one at that - will always be quite the highlight of my Palaeo career!
i saw the Borealopelta in person at the Tyrrell Museum in 2019, it is truly an astonishing specimen, it really felt like you came face to face with a living non-avian dinosaur.
The tyrannosaurs they talk about in this documentary are Teratophoneus, which were native to Utah; a southern tyrannosaur living at the same time as its more famous and northernly relatives, Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus. The quarry where this unique find was discovered was also given a name; the Rainbows and Unicorns Quarry due to the extraordinary nature of the expedition. I read about the original discovery in an academic journal, so that's where I got the information from.
*Well they still deny the dino bones that were found with living tissue inside them, Proving that dinos were not millions of years old but more like thousands.*
This episode of 'Drain the Oceans' is a true gem, offering an astonishing glimpse into the real world of dinosaurs with incredible new fossil finds. The meticulous detailing and the fusion of cutting-edge technology make the ancient past come alive like never before
It’s astonishing how far palaeontology has come. Right up until *”Prehistoric Planet”* . Which is **(in my opinion)** the GREATEST dinosaur documentary ever.
Complete with populist pacing, sound effects and music you'd expect from Murdoch owned media. It isn't what it was a decade or two ago, the gravitas has gone.
I am fascinated of their dedication to do this kind of research and exploration, for all the people who helped them spent their time, years of doing this research please know that I truly appreciate all of you and thank you ❤️
15:30 If any of you have ever had a large pet lizard, you'll know even a 3 foot iguana tail whip will cause a lot of damage. I couldn't imagine how much damage this giant would do.
Incredible! The Dreadnoughtus discovery and digital modeling give us such a detailed look at dinosaur behavior and movement. Truly groundbreaking in paleontology! 👏
what's really amazing is that the sea level was so high...being that was the ocean floor at one time....incredible information..I'm excited and extremely grateful to national geographic and the efforts put into this video
Yep! The best part, for me, is I'd been comparing tyrannosaurs to wolves since I was *eight,* back in the early '90s, as a counter to the then-common argument that they were oversized scavengers.
wow, this video is really fascinating and so well put together! I loved the visuals and the depth of information. however, I can't help but feel like it oversimplifies the timeline of the dinosaurs' existence. I mean, it's easy to portray them as these singular creatures, but the variety and complexity of their ecosystems were so much more intricate than what we see here. what do you guys think?
193k views and only 3.5k likes? People must be watching on their TVs. Great video! I love the energy from the scientist AJA. Seeing all that coal being dug out in Alberta makes me think we won't be around a long as these dinosaurs were.

The tyrannosaurus 5 pack of family members reminded me of a family of otters who live in cooperative groups with members of all ages. The adults have babies and the sub-adults help with the hunting and protecting the youngsters. The clan is stronger together and more successful as a team.
Floods happen all the time. Dinosaurs arent in the bible. If you accept dinosaurs, you refute young earth creationism. Comments like this are so ill thought out.
@ewetn1 "Dinosaur" was invented in 1842, before that they were called dragons all over the world including in the Bible. The only reason you think you're right is because you don't know what you're talking about.
@Elluminative Child, I would love for you to expand on the thought process that lead you to leave this comment on my thread. Don't be shy, let's hear it. 🤟
Very nice documentary. I would just point out that Dreadnoughtus and Borealopelta were Cretaceous animals, and although tyrannosauroids go back to the mid-Jurassic, all the tyrannosaurids are Cretaceous as well.
rlly appreciate the use of cutting-edge imagery and innovative technology here. its much easier to visualize the diverse world that existed. it rlly made the documentary immersive. so what are the ongoing efforts to uncover more fossil evidence?
Since it's 1 adult T-rex and a bunch of juveniles, couldn't they be compared to bears? They stay with parent for protection and to learn how to hunt. Then go their separate ways when of age.
In terms of making fixture to document live animal movements, BBC is second to none; but when comes to the use of CGI to render imaginary activities of huge mammals on land and shipwrecks in the ocean, National Geographic has to be the best!
what's really amazing is that the sea level was so high...being that was the ocean floor at one time....incredible information..I'm excited and extremely grateful to national geographic and the efforts put into this video...thx again
I think that everyone from our generation grown up with Fred Flintstone, also me in The Netherlands. I remembered that my older brother told me that some dinosaurs where as big as our house. And that I whatched to the roof and found it hard to imagine that an animal was that big.
What if tyrannosaurs were like bears or tigers. The large males roam and hunt as individuals, but females and smaller males will often have family groups.
Unfortunately we will never know the quirks of their behaviors. Some of them will be very normal to us but there will also be some unexpected things we will never be able to experience
22:01 I one hundred percent knew that was going to happen with how widely spaced those beams were. If they had placed them more central with equal spacing on either side of the beam it would have been perfect. And these are their "best rigging and hoisting guys" ... Hey mining company! can I have a job over there?
My first thought was similar, I was like, well of course it broke, the middle will be less secure due to all the fossils breaking up the rock structure!
The T-Rex family issue makes me think of Tornado rather than a flash flood , which would have dispersed the bodies further apart from each other. So Say a tornado had whipped the family into a nearby stream, or flood plane, then water flow may have left their carcasses next to a log jamb, hence the proximity to each other when they were unearthed.

"Secrets of the Dinosaurs: The Real Jurassic Americas" is an exhilarating dive into the prehistoric world, offering viewers a glimpse into the ancient landscapes that once teemed with dinosaurs. As a fan of paleontology and natural history, I'm thrilled to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the ocean's depths. With the immersive storytelling of "Drain the Oceans," I'm sure this full episode will be both educational and awe-inspiring. Can't wait to journey back in time and explore the real Jurassic Americas!
My dad worked in an anthracite mine when i was a kid, and 3 times he brought me chunks of amber theyd found in the coal. They were cloudy and you couldn't see into it. 20 ish year later i decided to polish them and inside one is a feather from what im told was a small dinosaur that lived about 70 million years ago 😮
the way they lifted that "rock" was painfull. As someone who worked 12 years on luxury furniture delivery you know you just dont lift something and think its structure will be able to sustain its weight.
Gator tail that is 5 ton or so moving at even 10 feet per second will absolutely rock every bit of your world... thats probably like 10-15k ft-lbs of energy if it has like 15 feet of swing. To think of something moving at 1.5 seconds to cover 5 yards that seems pretty slow, I imagine it could flip that tail way faster with all those attachment points for muscle. The weight is probably low as well, needs to be enough to offset the weight of the neck and head at full extension and keep full balance so probably around 1/5 of the total mass in the tail? Anyone got any mass ratio info on something like this?
I don't know about everyone else but the children's movie "Land Before Time" already demonstrated that it was an accepted theory that these species of dinosaur used their tails as weapons....😅
I remember Nat Geo before Disney(I'm late 60's). My family had big red Nat Geo binders with issues going back pre WW2. All good things must end I suppose.
Very interesting information here. Our neice who is only 6 years old absolutely loves dinosaurs, she even knows the names of many of them. She has no interest in Disney +, (which is a good think given the questionable content that kids shouldn't be exposed to at that age) and is only interested in finding Dinosaur documentaries. She's already decided to be a paleontologist!
To be a dinosaur fanatic and professional in the field and have a dinosaur named after you? Absolutely awesome for that guy
