Its scary that in all that we've uncovered and discovered, its only a tiny fraction of all the life that lived in that era, thousands of creatures that didn't fossilize will forever remain unknown to us.
Is that scary? I find it exciting. I guess it's sad to think of the things we'll never find but it's awesome to know that there's still a lot out there that we might one day find.
Prof Steve has the rare ability to explain complex ideas in easily-understood words. His enthusiasm is also very catching! One of my all-time favourite scientists. (And his book is brilliant!)

As some people who was fascinated by dinosaurs in childhood but did not follow up since then (which means since the 1970s) I'm totally intrigued... feathers!?! Gorgeous! Thank you!
Steve Brusatte, when the camera is off: "Yes...yes...This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it...This Land."
I can remember watching a program where paleontologists were involved in performing an autopsy on a dead cassowary because they said it was so close to a dinosaur and they could learn a lot from it.
The question was missing a piece. It meant “like in Jurassic Park/World” because in those movies it’s 2-3 raptors fighting a Rex. With that context, you just need to replace “Velociraptor” with Deinonychus since that was the actual animal the JP raptors were based on(even though the films made them almost twice the size of an average individual). Or to be more accurate, use a larger North American dromeosaur like Dakotaraptor, that coexisted with Rex, and which was bigger than Deinonychus and closer to JP raptor proportions. 3 Dakotaraptors would be formidable against a weakened Rex. They still wouldn’t be able to kill it outright, but just like wolves they can just start eating the Rex from the flanks once it is tired out. After enough damage, the Rex would die from the injuries and blood loss.
What a wonderful presentation on paleontology with such heartwarming narration. Steve, your vitality and enthusiasm for your specialty field of study shines through with many smiles and much warmth. Thank you!
I'm a history teacher and a month ago one of my 8th grade students was completely heartbroken to learn that we won't be studying dinosaurs in our classes. Now I can send them this lol
That astroid is now 66 million years ago already? I still remember when I was a kid I was told an astroid killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, time really flies faster than I realised these days……
16:00 There are videos out there of an enraged elephant throwing around a grown rhinoceros like it was a rag-doll. Taking into account the relatively small difference in size between those two and the fact that a rhino on its own is probably insanely strong and heavy (just not as strong or heavy as an elephant), I'd say that even if a small group of Raptors attacked a T-Rex, that "fight" would end very quickly and violently and with all the Raptors very dead. Even those super-sized Raptors from the Jurassic Park movies wouldn't stand much of a chance and, IIRC, most RL-Velociraptors were a lot smaller than those guys.
2 questions I have never heard answered. 1: Amphibians are ecologically sensitive. How did they survive the asteroid strick if it was a deadly as stated by out current understanding? 2: Given that the Asteroid strike is the cause of death for the dinosaurs. How come there are no dinosauids in the KT boundary?
Correction, modern amphibians are ecologically sensitive, I am by no means an expert on amphibians, but they certainly have traits that would be good in such an event as the kt extinction. Being small is a good example of such a trait, and living in and around water is another. But either way, a huge amount of amphibians did go extinct. Besides, it's mostly about luck, if a group of animals is diverse enough at the time of the impact, the chances of at least some of the animals in that group surviving becomes greater. Dinosaurs are a great example, most died, but parts of the avian line made it. As for dinosaurs in and around the kt boundary, fossilization is rare, but I do think I heard about a discovery where they basically found dinosaurs that died because of the tsunamis following the impact. So literally dinosaurs from the same day as the extinction event. Not sure if this has been confirmed though. Either way it is very clear that before the kt line there are dinosaurs, and after the kt line they are all gone except for birds. So I highly doubt that is a coincidence.
1. Amphibians could easily hide thanks to small size and were also able to remain in brumation fro long time. 2. This question makes no sense. KT boundary in basically line in ground formations. No dinosuars except Aves were find above this line, meaning all non avian dinosuars went extinct in time when KT boundary formed.
In Australia some frogs burrow into mud and soil and go " dormant" ( can't remember the term) for years. They re- emerge when conditions are more suitable for them.
the study of dinos is a field that is still undergoing much research and discovery, and there is much that we still don't know about these amazing creatures! who want to learn more abt dinos here 🖐
6 miles for an asteroid seems huge, but when you compare it to the earth, like a side-by-side, it wouldn't even be visible. Wild that it was traveling so fast it cause that much destruction.
To add to that, all dinosaurs had a common Archosaur ancestor in the Triassic. Which one it was in particular is unknown but it split from other archosaurs that lead to other groups like pterosaurs and all crcodylomorphs. Marine reptiles on the other hand, are varied groups with ancestors that adapted to water at very different times. They don’t form a single related family. Their similarities are due to convergent evolution, no different from how some look like modern dolphins despite not sharing any genetic relation. The earliest forms would have had some relationship to archosaurs but later ones, especially the youngest one to go extinct- Mosasaurs evolved long after dinosaurs had already been dominating the land, and shared no relation to other contemporary marine reptiles. As far as we know, after dinosaurs established themselves, not a single one branched off into a fully aquatic lineage that survived until the KPG extinction. So essentially you’d only find dinosaur fossils in areas that weren’t fully submerged by ocean at the time.
@@ADTillion i think the most fascinating aout mosasaurs is that they are honest to god Squamates, actual lizards that ecame fully marine giants. not only are they squamates ut grouping close to the snake and monitor lizard side of the lizard tree. i.e monitors are closer to mosasaurs than they are to many living lizards. the other famous large mesozoic marine reptiles are some flavour of non-archosaur reptile group not represented today, so its a fun thought that the mosasaurs are definite lizards. edit: forgot there was fully marine crocodyliforms too, so its not the only extant group that had fully marine memers in the mesozoic. we had marine turtles ack then too, though are sill dependent on land for egg-laying, most of the other ones had live irth, as do the much more recently derived marine snakes today..
@@wbbartlett Permian Triassic extinction had multiple causes though, it wasn't just an impact event that set things off. So he's not wrong, in terms of the fallout of one single event, the KPG extinction wins.
Really entertaining. You have a nice nature, and a way of conveying your love of science that would be great for your students. Thank you. We don't have evidence about, and of, them not laying eggs or for them giving live birth, but there are genus of modern animals that contain both kinds of birth. The ray and shark families have both kinds.
15:15 The guy was probably thinking of the velociraptors from the Jurassic Park movies. It’s still silly, but it might have been more fun to factor that in and give an opinion on a bigger species, like Utahraptor.
@@ADTillion Dakotaraptor was actually significantly bigger than JP raptors, but yeah. Even they were puny compared to T. rex, a Velociraptor was like a mouse compared to it.
closest analogue i can think of is like 3 wolves against a full-grown african elephant, with the JP-sized raptors. would still putt my money on the elephant
Of course a large sauropod, that is solid muscle and bone, is going to weigh more than a hollow jet airplane that is specifically engineered to be light.
4:40 UNNH UHHHGH!! Great Dying? End Triassic? Ordovician-Silurian? Hangenberg? 16:22 Anyone older than 10 asking this question needs to take a good hard look at themselves. Fun fact though, the T-Rex lived closer to humans (66 m.y. difference) than it did to the Stegosaurus (79 m.y. difference). Bit like how Cleopatra is closer to us than she is to the Pyramids. Or Spurs last league title is closer to Queen Victoria than it is to today.
"Great Dying? End Triassic? Ordovician-Silurian? Hangenberg?" Not singular disastrous events, which is clearly what he meant. Do you seriously think a paleontologist wouldn't know about these lol?
@@johnslaughter5475the Camarasaurus head being put on Brontosaurus/Apatosaurus mounts had nothing to with the naming confusion between the two. That’s an an issue that arose decades afterwards.

26:17 Considering we have found an Archeulean hand axe with a Cretacious bivalve fossil on the surface of one face of the blade - made by an Homo erectus individual - I think it's fair to say we will never be able to answer the question of who found the first fossil. Also depends on what "found" means. Does a dinosaur in the Triassic stumbling on some rock jutting out of the ground that turns out to be some even more ancient mollusc fossil count?
Either a child, or a someone raised in a fundamentalist household. Ironically, fringe Christians are divided on the subject of dinosaurs. Something think dinosaurs existed alongside humans, but were wiped out in the Great Flood (Noah didn't save them). Others think dinosaurs never existed at all, and that all the fossil evidence are either fakes by humans or deliberate deception by Satan.
Nice vid. Although, using nukes as a scale or measurement always seems kinda weird. Are we talking little boy or the tzar bomb. That is different of 15kt of TNT vs 50000kt of TNT.

I spend way too many hours on RUclips and this is still up there as an amazing piece of educational entertainment.
This is legitamately my favourite video ive ever watched
I love whether I'm 7 or 37, I'm still fascinated by these creatures. Always a child at heart.
The dinosaurs slowly accumulating on the table is excellent - just a 10/10 video 🎉🎉
fuck that volcano that killed the little sleeping dinosaur. he slept just like a cat... so cute
If it hadn't happened, neither we nor the cats we know today would exist.
For the last 10 years I've lived in the desert Southwest Tucson area and every time I see a roadrunner I think of a dinosaur...
Technically speaking, they are.
I think of a coyote
Having lived in Phoenix for 30 years I've only ever seen 3 or 4 in the wild, but that makes sense. 😂 Roadrunners are bigger than most people realize.
Aaaaaaand now I can't help but picture a T Rex going "Meep meep."
Thanks to your comment I found out roadrunners are a real animal and not just a cartoon character. They look so cute!
As some people who was fascinated by dinosaurs in childhood but did not follow up since then (which means since the 1970s) I'm totally intrigued... feathers!?! Gorgeous! Thank you!
History Hit please bring back Mr Steve I have to say that was a lot of fun to watch and it was very informative video
The most incredible thing I know about T Rex is that it was just one species from a very large family of Tyrannosaurs.
Yup. About 30ish of them

Arrhgg curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal
Didn’t expect a firefly reference….
I was talking about Firefly today, funny that I came across something about it.
I can remember watching a program where paleontologists were involved in performing an autopsy on a dead cassowary because they said it was so close to a dinosaur and they could learn a lot from it.
There's no way way three velociraptors could take out a T Rex.
And neither could 3 children take out Mike Tyson xD
So I think he answered the question, whether he intended to or not
The question was missing a piece. It meant “like in Jurassic Park/World” because in those movies it’s 2-3 raptors fighting a Rex. With that context, you just need to replace “Velociraptor” with Deinonychus since that was the actual animal the JP raptors were based on(even though the films made them almost twice the size of an average individual).

We should mention that most of the birds of the time died out as well at the K/T boundary - for instance all toothed birds died out.
Thank god

one of my favorite videos by History Hit! Professor Brusatte is so obviously passionate about his subject and it was so fun to watch!
This guy is awesome I need to hear more dinosaur facts from him
Excellent speaker, very engaging! Really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Just a point, that view of Earth and the asteroid at 10.06, that is NOT where the asteroid hit. That is Egypt. The asteroid hit in what is now Mexico.
The graphics were so bad at times. The asteroid also wasn't nearly as big as the illustration at 19:15 implies.
As an upcoming Paleoartist i knew almost every question.keep up with paleontology content ❤
Nicest paleontologist on RUclips! I enjoyed so much this video! 😃
I was continuously distracted by the increasing number of dinosaur figurines in front of him as he answered more questions.
Oh wow! I’m a super fan of Steve Brusatte 😊
My last name is Rex, so obviously T-Rex is my favorite as well; great choice 👍 😊 ❤
Sir Richard Owen comes from my home town, Lancaster in the Uk, their is a pub named after him. A fascinating video thanks.
No need to dither on the T-Rex vs 3 velociraptors question. It's like asking if 3 jackals could take down a polar bear... Of course not
Loving Steve’s Rise and Reign of Mammals for anyone looking for a decent read…

Dinos are all made up
@@marcausgossett865 prove it
For clarification, what is the difference between dinosaurs and large marine reptiles? What makes a dinosaur a dinosaur?
Dinosuars evolved from different ancestors than marine reptiles (plesiosuars, mosasurs, ichtiosaurs). Anatomy of dinosuars is different.
To add to that, all dinosaurs had a common Archosaur ancestor in the Triassic. Which one it was in particular is unknown but it split from other archosaurs that lead to other groups like pterosaurs and all crcodylomorphs.
Marine reptiles on the other hand, are varied groups with ancestors that adapted to water at very different times. They don’t form a single related family.
