"We are much closer in time to a T-Rex than a T-Rex was to a Stegosaurus"
That really put things in perspective for how massive a time span dinosaurs were around
Yea man it blew my mind.
Wiped out in a matter of hours or days.
And they still are around
@@Khaufnak. nope. They're still here
Had to pause and think for a second. Really crazy.
"Since when were pterodactyls not dinosaurs?"
"Since ever" That is probably one of the greatest answers
Why was there a content warning for dinosaurs? Were they worried a triceratops that recently had its child eaten by a pterosaur would see it??
@@DOMPARK I think it was for comedic purposes
Well he’s not wrong pterodactyls we’re discovered well before dinosaurs I think.
@@DOMPARK bc some people are afraid of dinosaurs
I don't get why people think pterandons are dinosaurs. That's like saying an eagle is an elephant.
5:03 him saying "godstiddies asks:" is so insane
😅
it was harry buttcheeks for me
“Biotchfromhell”
😂😂 I had to say that out loud to myself 10 times before I got it.
I was like what's godst itties 😂😂😂

He seems like a genuinely nice person to be around. No wonder he has a dinosaur named after him.
I bet he did alot of contributions in his lifetime.
The way his eyes lighted up when he mentioned that a dinosaur was named after him is so precious 👌✨

5:22 "We are much closer in time to a T-Rex, than the T-rex was to a Stegosaurus."
To me, that is one of the coolest facts ever. The timescale we are talking about is mindboggling.
Yeah, like how Cleopatra lived closer to our timeline then that of the building of the Pyramids. Or that woolly mammoths still roamed the earth when they were built.
@@Davey768 Well roamed the earth is kind of an overstatement. They were stuck in an island as they slowly died out, mostly because of lack of diversity
@@isthatbraised what was stuck on an island? Certainly you don't mean wooly mammoths?
@@jimv1983 Yes
Most of the mammoths died a couple thousand years ago, yet these island mammoths lived till 4000 years ago
@@jimv1983 As far as we know, Wrangel Island was the last hold out for mammoths, where they lived until about 2000 BC. Most other continental mammoth populations died out around 10,000 BC
It is amazing how he reads out these names and the funnily phrased questions without a hint of judgement and then answers them in such a great way.
Harry ButtCheeks LOLL
@5:06 GODSTIDDIES NOOOO this man is so pure
The biggest mystery is how this man is able to say read all these ridiculous Twitter handles out loud with a straight face 😂😂
my favorite is when he read "godstiddies"
@@Vendrix86 it's actually a really good one because, does god have them? lol
hes in his 50s, which means he was in his 30s back when the internet was hitting the masses in the 90s. compared to back then, handles now are extremely tame. wild west internet and all that.
@@sebastiangorka200 The wild west of the internet was not in the 90's but in the early 2000's easily
Burst out laughing a harry_buttcheek
I love how idiotic some of these questions are phrased only to be met with a wonderfully eloquent and insightful answer.
the flat earth asteroid question probably made him internally cringe so hard lol
Any questions, even seemingly daft ones, are good questions. Because as long as people listen to the answer, all questions lead to enlightenment.
Mostly by black ones
@@nerdy_dav I've never thought about it that way, thank you for showing me a different perspective.
@@Vegeta_1990 ur weird
the "cw//dinosaurs" is absolutely killing me
i literally had to check the comments to see if anyone else saw that. i get people have triggeers, but a content warning for dinosaurs?! DINOSAURS?????
PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED A WHOLE SERIES WITH THIS LOVELY KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN! HE IS A DELIGHT!!!
Can we PLEASE get more of this guy!!!
He answers what sound like telling questions with real enthusiasm.
I love how he doesn’t flinch at names like “godstiddies” or several other funny ones.
You can tell he knows the internet. I bet he's been roaming paleontology message boards since the dawn of time. I can see him growing up to the sound of dial up modems reading dinosauria, having heated discussions about Mesozoic vertebrate paleontology and being staunchly encamped on the right side of the question which is better, the Plesiosaur or the Pterosaur.
hes ace!
I know!! I learned so freaking much. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does.
'Biotchfromhell'.
also hes german, im pretty sure :D *so am I
the way he factually states "the world is a sphere" makes you feel like he's heard even weirder statements before and this is just another misconception he corrects 😅
id just be annoyed at how some people dont know how an asteroid hitting the eath works xd
@@LKonstantina915 Ikr. I don't mind uneducated people who aren't cocky about it, but when someone is completely uneducated on a subject and makes stupid statements like that person it just irritates me
Because there is a flat earth society that still believes the world is flat and dinosaurs didn't exist
He probably has
It's not a sphere though, and I'm not even talking about mountains, but because it rotates, it is wider at the equator, though the really extreme one for that is Jupiter which is MUCH wider at its equator since it spins so fast and if it was spinning much faster it would be flung into pieces.
I like how it's visible that Hans actually loves talking about this stuff. You guys should invite him more often.
As a person who loves paleontology and prehistoric animals, this guy was great lol. You guys need him back on
I love this series, the experts are not judgemental and very professional.
Agreed! So interesting 🙏🏽
definitely
Still though "@ Harry_Buttcheek asks..." LMAO @8:45
@@Skorn75 I died laughing, even felt bad for the guy😂
Thats why they can answer the simplest of questions and the most complex of questions with the same gusto and passion
I love how he destroyed flat earthers with one punch statement 😁😂
I came to this post to find this!!
I dont think flat earthers watch science videos tho
@@cringeypopsicle589 They do, mostly to argue with the people in the comment section
@@cringeypopsicle589 lol it’s because they look for whatever serves their bias. it’s a bummer but it is what it is
@Falcon But they don't actually watch the video.
I love hearing him sound so professional even pronouncing people’s funny usernames lol
You can tell palaeontology is a fun job! ^^
The only peeve about this video is that it's WAY too short! He is very entertaining, knowledgeable, and easy to listen to!
And no problem with the accent.
I like how he focused so intensely on the questions and completely ignored the funny usernames
Bruh this was the exact comment I had lmao godstiddies had me dying😂😂
Best part by far
@@skylarshum0417 harry buttcheek got me
The Harry one 😂
Seriously, the names this time.
10:09 also really important to mention: Not every dinosaur became a fossil. In fact, fossilization is such a delicate process that we probably lost far far far more species than we have discovered, sadly.
on the flipside, theres species of dinosaurs that we have not discovered yet and their fossils are sitting in the earth waiting to be found
And probably the fossils we have is because of the number of species we know were very high
yeah kind of weird how we're forming an idea on very incomplete information. like we assume T-rex was this big apex predator but for all we know there were dino's far bigger that just never got the chance to fossilize.
@@zwenkwiel816 'far bigger' might be a stretch since their size is limited by their anatomy. T-rex was one of the heaviest bipedal animals to ever exist on this planet and alread pretty slow. Other Theropods reached the same length but most of them were significantly lighter.
It's pretty unlikely that there was an even bigger predator around at the time and location as T-rex and if it was it had to be very rare.
That is true. Only a very small fraction of dinosaurs, or subsequent life forms, were fossilised. That requires a specific set of circumstances, the right type of soil or mud, the right temperature, the right weather to set the fossilisation process in motion. Otherwise the animal would simply rot away and the bones disintegrate.
T-rex had small arms because earlier theropods had longer arms. But overtime the earlier theropods adapted to using their mouths to get food because it was more effective. Because they no longer used their arms to hunt, as they evolved, their arms did not really grow that much because they did not need to.
We need waaay more videos like this. Too many people nowadays thinking dinosaurs are a myth. lol
Dallas! No way i found ya here. Love your vids man!
Wired chose ppl named godstiddies and harry buttcheeks and this man just ignored the fact he read these names like it was nothing😂😂😂
An experienced scientist isn't easily surprised.
Trex buttcheeks would do the job 😁😁
What's so funny about "godstiddies"?
@@marcel151 What's *not* funny about that name?
@@guydreamr Everything, what should it mean?
This man is just oozing knowledge and enthusiasm without a hint of arrogance to him. You gotta love somebody who is happy to be immortalized via a a small bone-headed dinosaur!
And his answer to how a meteorite would affect the entire globe is amazingly respectful, as well as chilling.
"Chilling" because... you know... it got very cold. Hehe. Ill see myself out.
@@lebowski3748 A stanford study by Jessica Xu (dec 2015) estimated the energy released by the Chicxulub impact to be equivalent to roughly 230 years global energy consumption, most of it absorbed by the atmosphere. The initial impact and returning ejecta released green house gases trapped in carbonate rocks of the crust, such as SO2 and CO2. The study estimates that it caused a long term atmosferic temperature increase of 2 to 5 degrees C based on the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary rock analisys. I would have thaught it would cause a short increase than a longer decrease in temperature too :/
Asteroid. Not meteorite.
I like how he reads every single username and doesn't question it one bit. "@ Harry ButtCheeks" loll cmon man
When he said Godstiddies it was so funny
I love his answer,"Since when were pterodactyl's not dinosaurs?""Since ever!" . I love this series, the experts are not judgemental and very professional..

if this man has grandkids im sure they love hearing his storytelling. he seems like a great guy and you can see how happy he is to discuss his passion.
Thank you for your time in doing this Dr. Sues - I've seen your name in many dinosaur books.
If we asked the AI to create the most stereotypical, benevolent looking old "science guy", I think this gentleman is what we would end up with. I absolutely love him :D
Right?? He’s so sweet I love him!
The guy on Periodic Videos (chemistry) channel as well!
He's an absolute delight, but at the same time, if you told me he had a human centipede or a man sewed into a walrus suit made of his own skin trapped in his basement, I wouldn't be all that surprised.
Even his accent ads to the "stereotypical genius scientist"
He literally is the most perfect egg head I've ever seen 🦖❤️
"We are much closer in time to a T.Rex than T.Rex ever was to stegosaurus". That is insane to think about and puts the grand scale of time really into perspective. Super well said.
(checks watch)
N Marbletoe lol
Really made me stop and think 🤯
Stegosaurus was already a fossil when T.rex walked the earth
@@nahadoth2087 Only 500 more years to go until we’re just as far away though!!!
This was so much fun to watch, and so informative! Love to see it
The way his eyes lit up when he said “gods tiddies asked..” is so precious👌✨
Him carefully reading the questions with the unneccessary 'like' in them tickled my funny bone. I enjoyed listening to him.
Also him reading the stupid names, like biotchfromhell.. lol
it was the little (beep) he did when he saw the word mfer that did me in
@@batll0 yesss
Hearing him read godstiddies LOL
How he said Harry Buttcheeks did it for me lol
I love how he calls the T.rex in museum "our pride and joy "
Every scientist has their catch phrase
“It belongs in a museum”
“Your scientists were so concerned with weather or not they could, they didn’t think about weather they should”
“The T-Rex behind me, our pride and joy”
I always cry when I watch these videos because I'd love to be as passionate about my profession as these people are.
Can we just respect the unbothered, almost deadpan delivery of the word,"godstiddies"
I would absolutely love to attend a paleontology course that guy was running. His enthusiasm is infectious.
Don't get overly enthusiastic. Paleontology is really interesting, but it's only really when you study geology, which paleontology is a branch of, that you can really appreciate rocks and everything about them, and thats not just fossils. Moreover Paleontology for large animals is a really secluded subject, with very few jobs avaible, so you gotta be really good to get into it. This is because it is not an applied science in any way. Looking at dinosaur bones serves no economic purpose whatsoever. And thus money and in consequence jobs are scarce. Moreover, even though I started to study geology for paleontology bit, I've since shifted my focus within the subject to more interesting and more presently important topics.
I know right I just found his video this one he's actually pretty enthusiastic
ruclips.net/video/OtF-XR22ZJk/видео.html
@@bimbelimbim4998 as a side course, it's definitely fascinating to learn more about the dinosaurs.. wouldn't be the most practical thing in the world but research is always continuing.. we are learning more good stuff about these creatures..so there will always be geologists and paleontologists who will continue to push the field further...
@@SK008 Maybe but in the end is serves almost no practical purpose. Moreover all data and evidence is extremely incomplete, so it can be an unsatisfying field of research. For example lets say a junvenile of a species look fundamentally different to the adults. This is rather common for many presentday animals. How are you supposed to differentiate? There have been many instances, where multiple species names have been attributed to animals of the same species with different age or gender, or where such is being discussed. The reconstruction of paleoenviroments in their entirety is much more appealing, because paleobotanics, sediments and microfossils give a much more complete picture, simply because these traces are much more abundant.
You can always tell when someone enjoys their job. He is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about dinosaurs. What a great series.
But there is one sad thing about it: like with football players for every palaeontholgy student who start and can make a living out of it there are 1000 who need to learn something entirely different when their studies end.
@@nemo99nemo83 Way to kill the moment you party pooping, killjoy, piece of excrement.
Great episode! would love to see Dr. Sues again
You are absolutely excellent at communication! Thank you for this video, which caught and held my attention as few do. :)
Beautiful to see him talking about the subject one he loves the most. He’s a great explainer. Dino’s are awesome!
And wow what an expert. With hundreds of publications this guy lives and breathes dinosaurs like it's 199x10^6 AD.
No they are not! They are amazing.
Your pfp is a dinosaur 🦖
It was also beautiful to hear him say the names "Harry Buttcheeks" and "God's Tiddies".
the plural of dino is dinos
I love his answer,
"Since when were pterodactyl's not dinosaurs?"
"Since ever!" 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Still blows my mind that a pterodactyl isn't a dinosaur but a chicken is
Dude acting as if it was old news 😂
Thank you so much for this video, this man is so passionated and fascinating
I really enjoyed this video. Dr. Sues is very likeable and knowledgeable.
That was cool. I like that he said Jurassic Park was for entertainment not science. I often hear people complaining that things like Jurassic Park aren't scientifically accurate. Who cares. I watch that kind of stuff to be entertained. If I want to learn something I'll watch a documentary which I also do.
Despite being the wrong size the velociraptors were a great smaller more agile threat. Only buzzkills really complain about them.
I had a teacher in junior high who was livid that the Raptors didnt eat every last bit of Sam Jacksons character, she thought it implied they killed him for sport which "only people do". Yeah I'm sure when killer whales are basically playing volleyball with seal Cubs it's to add flavor.
Not to mention it is 30 years old. Science is always evolving, not even documentaries designed to be accurate survive that time period unscathed.
The problem is that JP is a lot of peoples only exposure to dinosaur stuff, so this entertainment becomes, perhaps unintentionally, “fact” for those people. In turn, it just results in the vast majority of people having major misconceptions about dinosaurs - it’s unfortunate
Los documentales de dinosaurios suelen estar plagados de errores, especialmente los más antiguos
I just like to laugh at the inaccuracies
For those who are curious: Not only is it widely accepted that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, but we also know exactly WHERE the asteroid landed: it's called the Chicxulub crater. It's located on the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and has been carbon-dated to have formed in that time period, and it size of the crater certainly looks catastrophic enough.
As long as we leave the black marker in the crater....we should be good.
@@uzumaki346 and as long as we dont try to reproduce it.
Isn't it in the golf of Mexico? I read that as a kid I think
This is not a 100% fact. The asteroid could be one of the reasons for the next mass extinction, but scientists cannot reach a consensus on this issue, since many species began to die out a little earlier. Most likely it was a complex problem: the asteroid is only a part of it (perhaps not even the main one).
By the way, there were extinctions before that and were even larger (Permian-Triassic extinction), but the asteroid did not participate in them (upd. well, some scientists suggest that there was a asteroid, but there are no details)
@@Osigot It is generally accepted that the asteroid played a large role though. But, yes, many paleontologists think there were other issues as well.
This was so good! Not only an expert but a terrific presenter.
This was a great video! I really enjoyed Dr. Sues :)
This guy seems so lovely, kind and passionate. More people in your show like him please
I’ve seen a few but some paleontologists in my life: they all are actually Ross Geller alright like some intellectual 12 y/o skips whole twentieth and become scientist😂
5:03 Hearing a man like him speak those words was a… new experience.
BRO WHO IN WIRED MADE HIM SAY THAT LOL
Bless this man and the person who had him say this username
This man is with it. At 9:30 he even had the sense to "beep" mfers
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT lmfao
How bout the harrybuttcheek
I love how passionate Dr. Sues is about his field. He is so sweet!
Fun fact: Sues is literally the German word for sweet.
i loved watching hans talk and i learned a lot. it's sweet to see someone who's in the right profession. bring hans back!!
He seems like such a nice man; even answered the kinda dumb questions politely
I'm both annoyed and dismayed there were so many dumb questions. I'd rather have heard him break down some really in depth aspects of paleontology than have to see someone disbelieves in the concept of fossilization.
@@raikazuchi In some ways, dumb questions are the best kind, cus it signifies someone taking a first step to understanding something.
People were so rude, but he doesn't bat an eyelid.
@@Jesse__H I’m gonna go out on a limb that someone named “godstiddies” didn’t bother to follow up on getting their answer
That's professionalism. I've kinda been annoyed they even allowed some dumb questions.
Can you imagine being in this field and calling this guy about a discovery you’ve made and the 7 hr phone call that ensues has to be amazing for all parties involved
Especially if your name is Harry ButtCrack.
Randomly recommended to me, this gentleman was fantastic. Lots of cool info.
Such enthusiasm. This man thoroughly enjoys passing on his knowledge. Let's have some more please.
The fact that birds are technically dinosaurs is a fact that would have blown my mind as a kid. Which is why I try to bring it up with kids as often as I can! Growing up, Plesiosaurus was my favorite “dinosaur”, although it’s technically not a dinosaur. My other favorites are Maiasaura and Parasaurolophus
Learning that birds are dinosaurs gave me a new appreciation for birds. I always liked crows and ravens, but I didn't give much thought to other birds. Now I love birds and thinking how they're just little dinos flying around or hopping along on the ground :) My favorite dinosaur is Therizinosaurus due to the new Jurassic World movie (though it was likely actually a herbivore; the movie paints it at the very least as a predator of some kind)
@@AngelValis I think there is a debate in the scientific community if it was an omnviore.. it might have eaten both plants and small animals.. my favourite dino was, is and will be Brachiosaurus..
@@AngelValis they paint it as a territorial creature, it bitchslaps a deer,but it was so it could eat the plants the deer was eating
Did you know chickens are the closest relative to a tyrannosaurus?
YOOOOO A FELLOW PARASAUROLOPHUS ENJOYER
“we are much closer in time to T-Rex than T-Rex was to Stegosaurus”
What an extraordinary and fascinating fact; great minds like his are such a gift to our world ❤️
I love comparisons like this. Another interesting one I've heard is that we're closer to Cleopatra than she was to the building of the pyramids.
It gives you a scale of how long the world has existed

All palaeontologists I know are cool.
Ross is way cooler.
Something that gets missed when talking about the cretaceous extinction is that LOTS of animals went extinct besides the dinosaurs. The asteroid was devastating for sea life, for example.
Also that the KT extinction wasn't even remotely the largest. That honor goes to the Triassic one, irrc.
oh yeah for sure. the extinction at the end of the Permian nearly ended all complex life on earth - 94% of species went extinct. for comparison, the K-PG killed 75% of species.
the K-PG completely wiped out the ammonites though, a group that was (and had been) immensely successful since they first arose. although, I believe I recall reading that ammonites may have survived briefly past the cretaceous? as in a handful of species survived the K-PG, but were in pretty bad shape afterwards so soon went extinct anyway
@@PhoenixBlazer39 it'd be the end Permian that's the largest imho. The Earth was very close to losing complex animal life in general.
Not only that, but not all of the animals died by the asteroid. The asteroid started a chasing reaction that eventually killed them all off.
@@laurenskee2665 yep. the K-PG asteroid kicked up so much debris into the atmosphere it completely blocked out the sun for a long time. plants were unable to photosynthesise, so the entire ecosystem crumbled
he really has a passion for this and it’s really motivating and inspiring. loved this video, one of the best i’ve seen in ages!
He seems like a really fun guy. Beautiful dinosaur corpse had me chuckle
the fact that he held a leg bone an animal used to walk around millions of years ago is profoundly incredible.
No its incredibly profound
It's not actually the bone. A fossil is stone basically. As he explained, minerals with the size and shape the bone had. But yeah, it is marvelous indeed.
@@Paul....... no its profound and incredible
Everyone, it’s super cool, unlike people who argue over grammar…
@@DarkRoomAmbienceI hold chicken legs after I eat them, is that profound too?
Wow, this might have been one of my all time favorite "support' videos. I wish it went on for hours
There are many great channels about paleontology out there. PBS Eons as an example covering a wide variety of topics in plain language in relatively short videos (8-12 mins).
UPD: Personally I also like speculative biology covered on Curious Archive channel, especially The Epic of Serina series. Curious and unusual creatures, amazing worlds and all that.

The best part of this video is a well read and educated paleontologist say "godstiddies" lol.
Great to hear actual trained professionals on RUclips
I loved this. I'm a geology student and this reminded me of paleontology class. It was awesome, i used to wake up in the morning, have breakfast, put on a fluffy robe, get my tea and then turn on my laptop for the paleontology class (this was during the pandemic). It was like watching a documentary for 2 hours in the morning every thursday. My professor was also very nice and enthusiastic, and he answered all of our dumb questions :)).
Same here, Paleontology was a good vibes lecture
I'm always haunted by the fact that we'll never know how dinosaurs acted, how long they lived or even how many kind of them are simply because we have no way of acquiring this information. It's been too long
We know that tyrannosaurus rex probably lived up to 30 years, and we can KIND OF see how a dinosaur acted
What about mass graves of dinosaurs? do those count? Also weren’t there also tar pits that preserved dinosaurs? Or were tar pits trapping other ice age animals?
We do, they're flying all around us as we speak
At least how a Dino moves is based on its anatomy. the size of areas of the brain can tell you which actions are prioritized, like how he said some of their brains are similar to a hawk so maybe they would act that way too.
@@AverageAlien those are the government drones, my friend, not dinosaurs
a dinosaur as smart as ravens or crows is insane, ik he explains it briefly but those bird are sooo intelligent

The raptors in Jurassic Park were Deinonychus. Some paleontologists referred to it as a species of Velociraptor at the time the novel was written. In the original novel they even call it "velociraptor antirrhopus" - which is now Deinonychus antirrhopus. The small velociraptor we all know is velociraptor mongoliensis.
Nice to see someone else actually understands this. Everyone just assumes they were using mongoliensis both in the book and movies despite everything saying otherwise.
A small mistake lead to velociraptor becoming the most famous dromeosaur
It's interesting to notice that, while bigger than a velociraptor, deinonychus was still smaller than a human. The ones at Jurassic Park would be around the size of a Dakotaraptor.
@@apenasmaisumdiogo.7115 exactly, so many people who look into the comparisons of Jurassic park and the real animals overlook the enormous raptors of North America
And now imagine my face when i see jp first time, and when the question:what's that? Appears i answer: deinonychus. Then tom says velociraptor, THEN i hear about what you wrote in that comment. Also, deinonychus was and is in my top 5 dino list. Imagine my rage at the film. Also i was like 5 soo...
I hate that people don't like the feathered dinosaurs. I think that a very beautiful and vicious feathered killer is much more interesting.
Terror birds are also really cool, sad they aren't very talked about as the non-avian dinosaurs.
It's really hateful to see how some people only see dinosaurs as mindless reptile-like monsters and not what they really were, animals in their own ecosystem. And those who argue that "feathers are not scary" have not seen cassowaries, or ostriches, or geese, or even a simple rooster! angry at their life.
People just don’t like change after science reveals new discoveries that are more accurate
@@bruja_cat Exactly, they still think about dinosaurs at the same level as things like mythological or movie creatures. They get angry when they hear things like the feathered rex and polar dinosaurs, as if they were told that mermaids don't have fish tails but shrimp tails or godzilla can now fly.
@@albertocayuelas7342 Don't forget the butcherbirds! We find them cute only because we are larger than them.
When a 6-foot tall butcherbird seeing you as prey nobody would say "feathers are not scary" ever again.
I love enthusiastic this man is about dinosaurs.
What a wonderful man, I loved the mention of the dinosaur that was named after him
Hearing a professional Dr. Paleontologist say the words "at harry butt cheek" just made my day
I love seeing someone so happy and excited about their profession. This man certainly choose the correct career path. Thoroughly enjoyable video.
He didn't exit anywhere, he did get excited though :)
@@jupiterflambay4284 Well, I got most of the words right, which is good for me. I usually mess up way more. I edited it though, thanks.
Paleontologists and archeologists seem to be some of the most happiest with their professions. It must feel like magic uncovering lost history.
This guy is great, speaking with such eloquence and enthusiasm is so infectious and English is not his native language but I can understand him better than most who have.
His models and props including fossils relating to each question were there readily set up
We all wish we had teachers like him
Thanks Hans
I love the way he seemed to struggle to read some of the usernames. I love the answers though, Dinosaurs have always been a favorite of mine.
Lol I love this guy. He just reads the messed up names as is and doesn't skip a beat. Strictly paleontology
