I'm not entirely convinced that the first toy was always an amargasaurus. It looks like the manufacturers just took the wings off of a preexisting dragon toy that they had in stock.
Hi, I'm the one who actually sent it! Turns out the toy is part of a very stylized card series from Spain. I also sent them a Deinocheirus and Protoceratops from the same series which are both also equally weird looking.
Skin sails are obviously for absorbing heat from sunlight. Like spinosaurus laying in the water but it's sail could be out of the water gathering heat.. And looking so darn scary to see that guy under the water
"We've known about Amargasaurus for just under 30 years" "Ok" "It was described in 1991" "WHAT" Here I am still picturing 30 years ago as being early 80s.
I love seeing creators commenting on videos of completely separate genre/topic. So cool that we all have diverse and yet still common interests. I remember the Dino inlay on the Gothic Flying V. Love you Colin!
I find your show extremely comforting. I have really bad anxiety issues, and for some unknown reason these uploads calm me right down from a panic attack. I'm not sure why that is, I never was a "fan" of dinos, but it does...just please know that you're really helping at least this human get by, and now I am becoming a fan of dinosaurs!
I'm also a big fan of this type of video. The informal, extemporaneous narration is very easy to follow, despite how much information is being given to you. It's not trying to grab your attention or excite you, it's just telling you neat facts about fascinating animals, like a personal tutor. I'm particularly fond of the construction-paper-inspired animations.
i like these videos because i just find interesting how bizarre life on earth was and how different from today even though the animals had the same kind environment they were still different but most importantly im tired of the media showing them so terribly inaccurate and it's hard to find completely accurate dinosaurs sometimes so this channel really helps
I used to suffer from panic attacks and I can totally see how these would have worked, had YDAW been a thing then. I think it's a combination of Stevens calm and 'low affect' personality, the background music and the colour scheme and style of the set and animations. Also, it probably helps that the videos are about something completely unrelated to human life and problems. I really hope your issues with anxiety get better over time!
Please do an episode on plesiosaurs. They are probably the most common "dinosaur" toy that you haven't done an episode on and I know there are lots of things wrong with them. Thanks!
As of right now Steve and Liz have expressed their want to focus on true dinosaurs for the most part, though they do plan on doing episodes on some aquatic reptiles and pterosaurs that they've recieved.
I can assure you that it's supposed to be Amargasaurus. The toy is from a card/figurine game from Spain. I found and bought the toy to send to them online, along with a Deinocheirus and Protoceratops that are equally weird looking.
YDAW always gets me SO PUMPED about dinosaurs! The research that is presented in such a digestible and accessible way is so valuable for recontextualising my understanding on Dinosaurs over these years.
@@lucagarciaferrari I can't link it for some reason but if you go on the dinolabs facebook page they have posted images of them. They were confirmed to be real by I think a Canadian paleontologist. They look pretty different from regular spinosaurus arms (no surprise) with the thumb finger being much shorter. The hands and arms themselves were built pretty powerful but the pectodectoral crest on the humerus was pretty small meaning it had weaker swipes than baryonix or suchomimus. Also from my own crude measurements I got an arm length of 6.2 feet for msnm v4047 but that's my own and I didn't put much time into it.
When you talked about the potential art featuring these spined dinosaurs with leaves and such stuck on them, it makes me wonder if any plants took advantage of dinosaurs to help distribute their seeds in any way? Like how Burr seeds stick to fur today to distribute themselves.
That “Amargasaurus” toy at the beginning of the video looks more like a dragon without wings than a sauropod. This dinosaur has always interested me, it’s one of the lesser known sauropod dinosaurs that deserves more recognition than just being a medium sized sauropod that wasn’t as big as the others. The spines on the back (either they were just spines or a sail) makes this animal majestic and really weird for a sauropod. Also appreciate the effort and dedication put into these videos explaining real science behind these incredible animals that are sadly misrepresented too often in pop culture (speaking as someone who likes both scientifically accurate and pop culture depictions of dinosaurs).
These videos are so soothing. It just calms down my over anxious brain with some nice straightforward discussion of science. There’s nothing loud or ostentatious about it. It’s just gentle science about cool animals with some great animations
I love dinosaurs. I loved them when I was little, then I got kind of bored with them for quite a few years. However, I have been getting back into them and learning more than ever these past couple years. They are just so cool! This series has taught me so much aside from everything else I have been learning from. Keep up the good work!
As someone who really wants to be a paleontologist one day, but is still in the process of learning basic anatomy, I find these videos really interesting! Keep up the great work!
As someone who really wanted to be a paleontologist after I saw Jurassic Park (without the permission of my parents), but was spoken out of that dream (too), I hope you succeed.
This show has reignited my love for dinos :) Thank you for all the effort these take! Could I suggest for more Ceratopsian episodes? I really love them, specially Pentaceratops, I've always wondered how their skulls exactly work and if they had beefier necks to hold them! Have a nice day
Steven's voice in the opening of the video made me smile a bit, thanks for that. I mean on top of the thanks for making these videos in general of course, I appreciate you folks.
What I like any this channel is how it communicates to people my favorite thing about dinosaurs: that our knowledge about them is in a constant state of flux. That's what I love about dinosaurs. The uncertainty. Finding out new things that completely overturn old things, or just that ubiquitous "we don't know!" that always comes up with dinosaurs. There's always something left to wonder about. Always new horizons to be explored.
The moulds for the earlier Battat dinosaurs have severely degraded over the years. I have that Dan LoRusso Amargasaurus from the original Boston Museum of Science release from c.1996 and it looks so much crisper and more detailed.
to have spikes on the neck is a good defence agaisnt predators that usually goes for the nexk. semi related, i´ve seen sauropods recently,restored with ridges and some times small spikes ont he bottom of their necks and huge osteoderms on their back and tails. where does that come from and does it have any support in paleontology?
Markus Nävergård Saltasaurus had bony nodes on its back, along with some small spines. It’s a more obscure sauropod despite it’s unique armor, prolly because it’s not a comparatively large sauropod.
I never comment at all on videos but I feel compelled to as I never would’ve crossed this channel but I’m really glad I did! Big fan of dinos since I was a kid!
I'm really glad to hear about the official portrayal of Amargasaurus' neck spines. Another great episode overall. BTW That children's book you mentioned at the beginning looks very cute.
Very educational channel! My twin brother has been a dinosaur nut for as long as anyone can remember, so I'm into dinosaurs by proxy. But that's good, because it was thanks to him that we got some of the anime Dinosaur King on DVD when we were little kids. It's one of my favourite tv shows and has a special place close in my heart; it's because of Dinosaur King that I know most of the dinosaurs I do, especially Amargasaurus. To think animals such as these roamed our Earth, walking on the same land that we do now, all those millennia ago - is absolutely insane and fantastically wonderful.
Ok so the use of niche partitioning as an example for how uniqueness can be a good thing, especially in a children's book.... UGH this is so damn sweet & kinda brilliant 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love this series so much because it really puts into perspective how much of a gradual process paleontology is. With every single one, we see how our understanding of any individual species grows and changes, and it doesn't ever really put down the early workers of the discipline. It just accepts "this is what they had to work with, we wouldn't have done any better if we had the same criteria." Thats something thats missing in a lot of archeo or paleo focused channels, that empathy and understanding of the people who helped build the foundation our modern knowledge is built on. Even if I wanna go back in time and slap who ever thought it would be a good idea to excavate Troy with dynamite.
My favorite dinosaur! A very interesting one. Usually sauropods are seen as massive dino giraffes but amargasaurus being similar to that of basically a big dino Ibex is so interesting. Fascinating how diverse sauropods actually could be!
I don't have time to watch this right now but I *do* have time to drop an instant like and favorite it! I love you, guys, thanks for all of the work you do for this channel!
Ever since 2 years of age, I have loved dinosaurs. I came across your channel by accident, but have been thoroughly enjoying with great interest, your talks. Thanks for the sharing!
So this video appeared in my suggested videos seemingly at random. Long story short, you basically managed to get me interested in dinosaurs again, a topic I wasn't this interested in for over a decade. Thanks a lot
I really, really, reeeeally want like a special YDAW- video game edition. There’s soooo many Dino games nowadays, and while playing them I get so annoyed sometimes with the issues some dinos have. They need roasting!
Man, it seems like only a few weeks since the last episode. I'm glad to see you guys working at a solid pace! I couldn't help but notice the updated diplodocid silhouettes. It prompted me to go check out Scott Hartman's updated sauropod skeletals and realize how cartoonishly goofy the proportions of a lot of these animals are.
I can imagine that dinosaur toy sculptors congregate in the audience of this channel. People waiting to see their work show up. I love this show and recommend it to the parents of kids who love dinosaurs. While the script is deep in nomenclature the illustrations help understand what he is saying.
Living by the port of Los Angeles, you see bridges and a lot of cranes all the time. Those spines look like what you would need to hold your head up and swing side to side as you eat everything in front of you like a weed whacker. It even reminds me of the handle you have halfway down the weed whacker to help you do exactly that side to side swinging motion. Eat an arc in front of you.. take a step forward eat the next arc on the way back.. repeat.
I really love all the effort you put in your videos, i have learned a lot with your help, so i´m triying to help back a little by sharing your chanel on paleontology groups, this channel needs to be bigger, you totally deserve it
There is a prehistoric animal that is not a dinosaur that I would like to see covered. The Gorgonopsid. I have always found that out of all the prehistoric animals I have heard names of, the Gorgonopsid is one that fascinates me the most.
The figure in question is a Battat Terra Series Amargasaurus, which, apart from it's paint job, is the same as the original Battat Amargasaurus, sculpted by Dan LoRusso. The originals were put into production in the late 90s. For a little bit more information,I recommed visiting dinotoyblog.com.
An animal with large air sacks on the back of its neck would be pretty vulnerable to injury, both from predators and just day to day injury. Maybe the keratinized horns would deter predators and keep away branches and anything else that could injure it?
These videos are amazing. So entertaining and informative. The production value has recently gone through the roof and I feel like a parent watching their kids grow up. Or, more accurately, a weird adult watching other people's kids grow up.
YAS! Another video! This video about Amargasaurus is really nice and neat. I learned a couple of things from the episode. I can always come to this channel for paleontological comfort or when I forget a specific detail of a dinosaur. The drawings are great, too! Keep up the good work!
Well, I guess that you're the wrong now Sr.! xD Pdta: I was just kidding, there wasn't a papper 2 years ago telling that the Amargasaurus had a sail again so there was no way to tell, however, i would like to see a remake of this one with the new reconstruction based on the new papper.
I remember a show called Dinosaur Revolution. The 2nd episode depicted the life of an Allosaurus based on a specimen of an Allosaurus's mandible that was broken and healed crooked. The episode showed Dicreaosaurus and Allosaurus fighting. After seeing the size chart on Dicreaosaurus, I think they made it too big in the show, as it was towering over Allosaurus and Torvosaurus
You do great work for paleo artist .I always say I do far more research than painting and your videos really help. nothing worse than spending countless hours on something to find out the info was wrong. so thank you...
I think the bands on the tail are inspired from the diplodocus of walking with dinosaurs (which in turn was inspired by iguanas, but I think the toys designers took their inspiration from walking with dinosaurs.)
I have an amargasaurus figurine in my collection. I wasn’t quite sure which Dino it was but this was super helpful in determining that! It seems mine is quite accurate!
19:06 Hmmmmm that explains why humans have bifurcating neural spines on the lower neck vertebrae! SInce our head is very heavy, proportionaly to our body.

Hey, uhh should probably pin this
I'm not entirely convinced that the first toy was always an amargasaurus. It looks like the manufacturers just took the wings off of a preexisting dragon toy that they had in stock.
100%
Was thinking the same: the way he coiled his tail and neck is more like some chinese dragon.
Hi, I'm the one who actually sent it! Turns out the toy is part of a very stylized card series from Spain. I also sent them a Deinocheirus and Protoceratops from the same series which are both also equally weird looking.
Yeah I was thinking along the lines of "it looks like they combined a dragon and sauropod".
@@dracorexion I think i found a tyranosaur in this couch I bought
I come bearing news from the future: a new study suggests a skin sail on the neck spines might be possible after all!
If I had a nickel for every time we've waffled on the reconstruction of a spined/sailed dino... I'd have (at least?) two nickels.
I swear Amargasaurus is REALLY trying it’s best to be the sauropod version of spinosaurus
@@SpiffierShindigsand two waffles
@@theangrycheetoI’d rather have two waffles than two nickels
Skin sails are obviously for absorbing heat from sunlight. Like spinosaurus laying in the water but it's sail could be out of the water gathering heat..
And looking so darn scary to see that guy under the water
“We have a handful of foot bones”
I love this channel
(Somewhere in the multiverse)
"We have a footful of hand bones"
LOL I love how he laughed at himself 🤣
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz3311 the moment he said it and went silent, I just hoped so hard he would correct himself like this... 😁
And zero footbones. Whereby he means to say "a footful of handbones". Cause you don't hold stuff with your feet.
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz3311 damnit you beat me to it
"We've known about Amargasaurus for just under 30 years"
"Ok"
"It was described in 1991"
"WHAT"
Here I am still picturing 30 years ago as being early 80s.
How has the past year not been a decade I think of 30 years ago as before 9/11
I keep subtracting from 2000, which for "20 years ago" has some awkward consequences.
My first instinct is still "30 years ago=70's"
My first thought when I hear 30 years ago is 10 BC
Wow yeah I was thinking 70s 🤣
The successive studies and theories revealing the look and purpose of the neck spines was thrilling. Another excellent episode.
Fancy seeing you here! :D
I love seeing creators commenting on videos of completely separate genre/topic. So cool that we all have diverse and yet still common interests. I remember the Dino inlay on the Gothic Flying V. Love you Colin!
interesting seeing you here carlin
oh wait no it makes perfect sense, you love dinosaurs!

It's certainly ahead of DI.

i just love that a small sauropod is still as large as the largest land animal alive today
Not gonna lie, kinda miss our moustachio'd dino friend from the opening.
What kind of theropod is it again?
I think it’s monolophosaurus based on the crest, but it’s pretty generic
Probably a corythosaurus
@@TheAnimalKingdom-tq3sz Iirc, those of us in the discord actually believe Bertrand is supposed to be a Corythosaurus, and not a theropod at all.

Just go to Loch Ness and see a real live one for yourself!
One things for sure, the more we discover about dinosaurs the more they seem like "real animals" and less like "monsters."
sounds oddly poetic. congrats
This is the cutest sauropod I've ever seen. Good to see some of my grand kids rocking it so well.

@@dracorexion can you share the name of the card game?
A new paper that was published this year has suggested the spines were indeed covered in skin.
I don’t agree with that. If it was covered in skin how would the animal defend itself. Bajadasaurus would have used those spikes as weapons.
I never really realized how small amargasarus was compared to a person until I’ve seen this video and I’ve known about it for so long.
YDAW always gets me SO PUMPED about dinosaurs! The research that is presented in such a digestible and accessible way is so valuable for recontextualising my understanding on Dinosaurs over these years.
Is that an Ayame kojo pfp? Lol
You guys should do a ydaw oops on spinosaurus especially with the new tail and supposed arms
Could you catch me up on the supposed arms? I read about the tail but missed that bit.
Yesssss
To be fair that could be a yearly thing at this point
@@lucagarciaferrari I can't link it for some reason but if you go on the dinolabs facebook page they have posted images of them. They were confirmed to be real by I think a Canadian paleontologist.

EVERY single episode of this show is just absolute gold. Thank you for the hard work you put into these!

Another great video by another great youtube channel. Please never stop doing these
This was packed with way more knowledge than I expected. I need to examine this channel some more.
Great video again, the time yous spend on these really pays off
My theory is that the "spines" are the remnants of feather dusters and these guys were just neat freaks.
An animal with large air sacks on the back of its neck would be pretty vulnerable to injury, both from predators and just day to day injury. Maybe the keratinized horns would deter predators and keep away branches and anything else that could injure it?
did i see a Rebor Stegosaurus model on that shelf behind you? I have one too. gorgeous model with fantastic detailing!
Then in 2022 a paper came out stating that Amargasaurus had soft tissue connecting the long neck spines and not keratinous horns.
These videos are amazing. So entertaining and informative. The production value has recently gone through the roof and I feel like a parent watching their kids grow up. Or, more accurately, a weird adult watching other people's kids grow up.
YAS! Another video! This video about Amargasaurus is really nice and neat. I learned a couple of things from the episode. I can always come to this channel for paleontological comfort or when I forget a specific detail of a dinosaur. The drawings are great, too! Keep up the good work!
I love the entire new format for this show. I hope they can do more videos on this quality more often.
Well, I guess that you're the wrong now Sr.! xD
Pdta: I was just kidding, there wasn't a papper 2 years ago telling that the Amargasaurus had a sail again so there was no way to tell, however, i would like to see a remake of this one with the new reconstruction based on the new papper.
Wait this isn't Taming guide for Amargasaur Ark Lost Island
It's been *way* too long since I watched an episode of this. Nice to see an episode about Aurorus - I mean Amargosaurus.
soooo glad you’re back! also if we could EVER see steven truly laugh-he makes snarky comments but never busts up. it kills me
I remember a show called Dinosaur Revolution. The 2nd episode depicted the life of an Allosaurus based on a specimen of an Allosaurus's mandible that was broken and healed crooked. The episode showed Dicreaosaurus and Allosaurus fighting. After seeing the size chart on Dicreaosaurus, I think they made it too big in the show, as it was towering over Allosaurus and Torvosaurus
Popup animations looking especially crisp, nice video everyone!
RETURN OF THE KING
It's always a good day when my favourite dinosaur channel puts out a new video.
I love the Style, Narration and especially Set Design of these Videos !
Telling people to go to the library and check out a book instantly raises you at least 20 points in the ranking of my favorite RUclipsrs!
This is simply amazing. I wish that this kind of videos were shown to all those adults that have lost their inner dinosaur-loving child.
You do great work for paleo artist .I always say I do far more research than painting and your videos really help. nothing worse than spending countless hours on something to find out the info was wrong. so thank you...
I think the bands on the tail are inspired from the diplodocus of walking with dinosaurs (which in turn was inspired by iguanas, but I think the toys designers took their inspiration from walking with dinosaurs.)
I have an amargasaurus figurine in my collection. I wasn’t quite sure which Dino it was but this was super helpful in determining that! It seems mine is quite accurate!
19:06 Hmmmmm that explains why humans have bifurcating neural spines on the lower neck vertebrae! SInce our head is very heavy, proportionaly to our body.
