We know that the brains of birds are better than they would appear to be from their size due to having a higher brain density so it would be assumed that dinosaurs may also have been like this meaning that stegosaurus' brain would have been big enough.

Respect for William Buckland. Even though he got it wrong, he used what little fossil evidence he had and his knowledge of modern animals to form a logical conclusion.
yeah, I'd give the naturalists of the 18th and 19th centuries a pass. they knew next to nothing about biology o even anatomy, outside common animals, let alone geology or the age of the Earth. Evolution and plate tectonics weren't a thing yet. Most scientists would have been creationists still. and surely struggled to find an explanation for all these new discoveries.
Right! Unlike Darwin who used the geological theory of Uniformitarianism to act as his theory's foundation to give Natural Selection the time and justification it needed to even make sense. The Theory of natural selection was based on the viability of Uniformitarianism. Of Course now that that theory has been over turned all the scientific community have adjusted their perspective on evolution. Not!!!!! What this video shows is that the scientific community is slow to discard theories that have become embedded in the mainstream even if evidence that counters their perspectives appear. Not all scientists are ego less searchers for truth, but rather often opportunists who often claim supposition as fact long before enough information is available to justify any conclusion.

And just to get that old fashioned feel make it stop motion
Gu Del, the tripod stance i'sint refering to the number of legs. The stegosaurus had two legs and its tail on the ground, meaning it had three points of contact with the ground making it a tripod stance.
I vividly remember being taught in primary school (in the 1980s) that some dinosaurs had secondary brains in their tails. The reason given was that they were so large that it took too long for information to pass all the way to the head (and back), so they had a second brain at the other end to increase reaction times.
i remember surfing the internet and i found an image of a FREAKIN FIRE BREATHING PARASAUROLOPHUS. i think it was from the same book as that gliding ankylosaurus you mentioned trey.
Deinocherius: To be fair, I remember reading about this one while we only had the arms, and the "predator with giant hands" reconstruction was always seen as one *posibility*. Since the beggining, the paleontologists thought "well, either this thing had disproportionately big arms, or the whole animal was pretty big". Turns out, it was the later.
It's funny to think about how much we're still getting wrong. From spinosaurus, to the fact that when this video came out, everyone thought T. Rex must've been almost completely covered in feathers. I'm curious to see how much closer we'll be to accurate reconstructions in the next 20 years.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Lots of things we take for granted seem obvious now, but we also have A LOT more data than earlier scientists did.
@@cookeymonster83 no, while generally schooled scientists were richer people, that was mainly because education wasn't as widely available as it is now. As such was harder to get into, if you were good enough at something the college would give you a scholarship(this is how mendeleeve got his education), also quite a few discoveries were made by farmers who tinkered or explored in their down time,and they are given credit for this, and called scientists, as they followed the same principles when doing scientific work.
To be fair to anyone snarking at Buckland, the guy was the first effort ever and he was working with scraps not even remotely resembling a quarter of a full skeleton. He did the best he could. No first effort is a ballpark home run, go look at the first airplane designs to see what I'm talking about.
That's true, I wish I didn't make fun of these early scientists. It's extremely difficult to reconstruct something that has never been seen before and is unlike anything still alive.
Oh I wasn't accusing you of doing it, it was more a memo to the other comment makers since I notice those sort of things often on forums. Buckland's stuff does correctly belong here as, while it was a good effort, it was greatly off the mark. An honorable mention for later maybe if you remake this video? The first Mastodon reconstruction had the tusks pointing upside down as a pair of enormous fangs and it was thought to be carnivorous due to the raised molars. The belief persisted until the 1800s and given the species was thought to persist in the western North American continent, actually freaked a lot of people out.
david peters should take up designing aliens for fiction, because the one positive i see in his work is that it is an extremely creative interpretation of bones that are so obvious to us.
While I do admit peters creations are odd You gotta admit,he has a wild imagination Like imagine if he was hired for the avatar movies (For all the people wondering,I mean the avatar with the blue aliens,not the avatar last airbender show,and yes there gonna make 4 new movies)like some of his creations/reconstructions are already look like outer worldly creatures
@@keepyourshoesathedoor I’m gonna be real with you, considering how crappy RUclips’s auto captions are I do not think they can auto generate chapters so specific (especially with the last one)
Forgot to mention that the Mosasaur was related to Monitor Lizards, thus making it plausible to suspect that Mosasaur was a big monitor from just the skull
10:10 “…related to today’s monitor lizards” it’s quick but he does mention it. I’ve rewatched this a few times since it came out and I only just caught that bit today, lol.
I'd also like to point out that for the longest time we would shrink wrap our dinosaurs so you could see every bone and muscle - we still do, but with feathered reconstructions it's not as obvious. Everyone knows from experience animals have all kinds of fat and skin that obscures the shape of the skeleton, and it had to be similar in prehistoric species.
The Ankylosaurus was a fake dinosaur in the textbook, basically a quiz of "which dinosaur is real?" If you want flying thyreophorans, look no farther than the Gliding stegosaurus of 1920
I think David Peters is better off being an artist... although his reconstructions are inaccurate, those dinosaurs of his are-admit it-AWESOME looking! That guy's creative! :P
@@_Yuputka_ they are just so bizarre and strange, I'm forced to like them, make a museum using his art it's honestly one of the one creative things I've ever seen
Well before the production of Jurrasic park it was already known that dinosaurs are feathered, but they director thought that looked stupid.... and that had a great (and negative) impact on our perception to this day.
ankhi3 No, it wouldn't because the original movie used animatronics. They wouldn't have had to animate the feathers at all and it would look the same level of fake.
Jurassic Park (1993) is well known for its groundbreaking use of CGI. There is plenty of animatronics in it sure but pretty much all of the dino action scenes are CGI (because animatronics are heavy and powered with cables they tend to be rather static). Just look up "Jurassic Park: Before and After" in youtube (it was the 4th video in the list for me), it will show you which scenes I meant.
David Peters reminds me of those astronomers that kept seeing (and drawing) complicated systems of canals on Mars. The will to believe strongly influences how we see things.
Interestingly enough, in the 1993 movie "Godzilla VS Mechagodzilla", there's this curious plot point where scientists discover that the very stegosaur-ish Godzilla also possesses a secondary brain in the base of his tail. Although whether or not there is a connection to the two-brain-hypothesis I don't know.
That's what I like about paleontology. It's always changing like within the past year the american tyrannosaurus (Tyrannosaurus, Albertosaurus and similar) as well as Tarbosaurus are believed to be scaled as the skin impressions found for them show no signs of feathers, as do many herbivore dinosaurs. You need to keep an open mind in paleontology or you'll get bogged down with the changing facts.
Great episode Trey, though if there is one thing I must say, it is this: I get concerned when you say "In reality it looked like" or "The truth is it looked like" or even "We know that". Remember, any prehistoric creature ever discovered has been reconstructed to how we think it may look. So just because it is a more 'up to date' theory/reconstruction, it doesn't mean it is 'correct' or 'true' any more than previous reconstructions. (as I said, we have never met them, so we can't know what they look like!). You've brilliantly shown us in this vid how scientific models change through the years, and therefore, we can expect in the many years to come, our modern and 'up to date theories' may change and adapt to future thinking. Anyways, great vid as always!
Just a bunch of curious goobers experimenting and exploring, making the discoveries that are the foundation of modern paleontology today, and common sense to us now. That era is over but you still get to name a species if you discover it. Find the next Thanos Simonattoi.
@@danielflanard8274 i love this response. a bunch of curious goobers. it’s an accurate descriptor for all scientists, then and now (speaking as someone very interested in biological sciences who is also a huge goober).
@@jeffreyt903 True. Especially with the discovers of feathers, Who knows if dinosaurs (Except Dromaeosaurids and such since they basically were eagles and hawks) were basically modified birds of prey with some teeth and claws,m
Like saying people saying they discovered tyrannosaurus feathers when it was only theorized but no actual discovery of such was ever made. Interesting enough, fossilized tyrannosaurus scales were discovered 2 years after this video was made.
I absolutely love how any paleontological affirmation can literally be proven wrong the next week, month, year or decade. It's an ongoing process of discovery, and that's what any active science study should be about, right? :)
You know at least with Buckland's reconstructions, you can understand how he came to the conclusion of Megalosaurus and Iguanadon being just giant lizards. I have absolutely no idea how David Peters comes to his conclusions other than he's just a strange weirdo set on convincing himself that he's right.
I legitimately love Buckland's and Hawkin's early reconstructions of Megalosaurus and Iguanadon. The Crystal Palace installation is especially amazing.

Gu Del, the tripod stance i'sint refering to the number of legs. The stegosaurus had two legs and its tail on the ground, meaning it had three points of contact with the ground making it a tripod stance.
Giant 3 legged stegosauruses with death rays from Mars.
That would be the best reconstruction ever.
The "mammoth" is priceless

I vividly remember being taught in primary school (in the 1980s) that some dinosaurs had secondary brains in their tails.
The reason given was that they were so large that it took too long for information to pass all the way to the head (and back), so they had a second brain at the other end to increase reaction times.
Man that's crazy, I wonder how the teachers felt when the findings came out
@@flyingstonemon3564 They probably still think it's true.
@@superscatboy To be fair that's likely yeah. It's hard to feel you may have taught misinformation when just doing your normal job

i remember surfing the internet and i found an image of a FREAKIN FIRE BREATHING PARASAUROLOPHUS.
i think it was from the same book as that gliding ankylosaurus you mentioned trey.
Not as bad a fake hadrosaurs from the dinosaru knights series, which could kill people with ultrasonic screams! Like what?!
Then included rhedosaurus
The beast from 20000 fathoms
As an actual dinosaur
What the hell were they on while making this?
i saw that on reddit
Plot twist, the name Aeolosaurus actually came from a real dinosaur which is a titanosaurian and not this gliding ankylosquirrel monstrosity
Lmao my friend on discord sent me that

incorrect. it had 3 foot flippers on its eyelids that it used to dig and teleported 3 feet to the left whenever it sneezed.

It was an owl
That mammoth literally had a leg growing out of its lower jaw.
4:03 Cave people drew mammoths, what in the heck were these so-called scientists thinking!
I don't think they discovered the cave drawings until the early 1900s I heard somewhere it was discovered when two boys fell into a hole and found it
I'll let that slide then. But still pretty ridiculous looking even without a template.
I know it's like a giant warthog and the stegosuarus one is even worse

Deinocherius: To be fair, I remember reading about this one while we only had the arms, and the "predator with giant hands" reconstruction was always seen as one *posibility*. Since the beggining, the paleontologists thought "well, either this thing had disproportionately big arms, or the whole animal was pretty big". Turns out, it was the later.

It's funny to think about how much we're still getting wrong. From spinosaurus, to the fact that when this video came out, everyone thought T. Rex must've been almost completely covered in feathers. I'm curious to see how much closer we'll be to accurate reconstructions in the next 20 years.
Lol t rex only had feathers as babies
I believe the last one (flying ankylosaur) was meant to be a joke dinosaur. Supposedly in the book it is asked which one of these dinosaurs are fake.
BeardedDragon It has to be. It also showed a depiction of Rhedosaurus, which is the fictional monster from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
BeardedDragon Aeolosaurus was a real dinosaur; however, it was a frickin titanosaur, how does a Titanosaur even glide?

Jimmy Nason it glides like a refrigerator.
I remember that book from my childhood. I've been looking for that book for ages.
what were scientists on in the early 1900s? “oh yeah it’s just a.. really big.. turtle..?”
Scientists in those days refered to any rich dude who took an interest.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Lots of things we take for granted seem obvious now, but we also have A LOT more data than earlier scientists did.
@@cookeymonster83 no, while generally schooled scientists were richer people, that was mainly because education wasn't as widely available as it is now. As such was harder to get into, if you were good enough at something the college would give you a scholarship(this is how mendeleeve got his education), also quite a few discoveries were made by farmers who tinkered or explored in their down time,and they are given credit for this, and called scientists, as they followed the same principles when doing scientific work.
Cocaine and heroin were still legal so who knows?
Well science has evolved
To be fair to anyone snarking at Buckland, the guy was the first effort ever and he was working with scraps not even remotely resembling a quarter of a full skeleton. He did the best he could. No first effort is a ballpark home run, go look at the first airplane designs to see what I'm talking about.
That's true, I wish I didn't make fun of these early scientists. It's extremely difficult to reconstruct something that has never been seen before and is unlike anything still alive.
Oh I wasn't accusing you of doing it, it was more a memo to the other comment makers since I notice those sort of things often on forums. Buckland's stuff does correctly belong here as, while it was a good effort, it was greatly off the mark.
An honorable mention for later maybe if you remake this video? The first Mastodon reconstruction had the tusks pointing upside down as a pair of enormous fangs and it was thought to be carnivorous due to the raised molars. The belief persisted until the 1800s and given the species was thought to persist in the western North American continent, actually freaked a lot of people out.
david peters should take up designing aliens for fiction, because the one positive i see in his work is that it is an extremely creative interpretation of bones that are so obvious to us.

Exactly.

It appears no one can read in this thread. The miscommunication is real

I'd also like to point out that for the longest time we would shrink wrap our dinosaurs so you could see every bone and muscle - we still do, but with feathered reconstructions it's not as obvious. Everyone knows from experience animals have all kinds of fat and skin that obscures the shape of the skeleton, and it had to be similar in prehistoric species.
Nicholas Nace yes!
The Ankylosaurus was a fake dinosaur in the textbook, basically a quiz of "which dinosaur is real?"
If you want flying thyreophorans, look no farther than the Gliding stegosaurus of 1920

I think David Peters is better off being an artist... although his reconstructions are inaccurate, those dinosaurs of his are-admit it-AWESOME looking! That guy's creative! :P
I personally wouldn't say awesome, but they are very creative. A theme park could be made with those things.

Love them as art, but hate them as science. I like looking at them. They are neat.
Well before the production of Jurrasic park it was already known that dinosaurs are feathered, but they director thought that looked stupid.... and that had a great (and negative) impact on our perception to this day.
I imagine adding and animating feathers on them would also have been time consuming/costly.
ankhi3 No, it wouldn't because the original movie used animatronics. They wouldn't have had to animate the feathers at all and it would look the same level of fake.
Jurassic Park (1993) is well known for its groundbreaking use of CGI. There is plenty of animatronics in it sure but pretty much all of the dino action scenes are CGI (because animatronics are heavy and powered with cables they tend to be rather static). Just look up "Jurassic Park: Before and After" in youtube (it was the 4th video in the list for me), it will show you which scenes I meant.
Feathers were discovered on dinosaurs in 2011
ebloxian 2011 is when they found actual preserved feathers (in amber). There were fossils with feather imprints discovered before that.
David Peters reminds me of those astronomers that kept seeing (and drawing) complicated systems of canals on Mars. The will to believe strongly influences how we see things.

Although whether or not there is a connection to the two-brain-hypothesis I don't know.
@@myusername3689 jesus calm down it gonna lose it voice
That's what I like about paleontology. It's always changing like within the past year the american tyrannosaurus (Tyrannosaurus, Albertosaurus and similar) as well as Tarbosaurus are believed to be scaled as the skin impressions found for them show no signs of feathers, as do many herbivore dinosaurs. You need to keep an open mind in paleontology or you'll get bogged down with the changing facts.
Finally someone actually realized we had scaly skin impressions! Good for you Jamie! ;)
@@Danielathan fuck scaly skin that annoys me

@@kevinlevin992 Holy shit
Great episode Trey, though if there is one thing I must say, it is this: I get concerned when you say "In reality it looked like" or "The truth is it looked like" or even "We know that". Remember, any prehistoric creature ever discovered has been reconstructed to how we think it may look. So just because it is a more 'up to date' theory/reconstruction, it doesn't mean it is 'correct' or 'true' any more than previous reconstructions. (as I said, we have never met them, so we can't know what they look like!). You've brilliantly shown us in this vid how scientific models change through the years, and therefore, we can expect in the many years to come, our modern and 'up to date theories' may change and adapt to future thinking.
Anyways, great vid as always!
TREY the Explainer
But put the term scientific in front of anything and it lends credibility to even the most illogical conclusions.
This irked me throughout the entire video.
