براہمداغ Stegosaurus existed during the Jurassic Period while the Cretaceous Period dawned T-Rex who was the last of the Tyrannosaurus to appear on the planet and one of the last great dinosaur species.
You should do an episode about pollinators, how they became a thing and how their relationship with plants evolved through time. How the first plants dealt with the non-existence of animal pollinators, etc.
really love how this gives lots of context over time including plants, continental positions, environmental factors; a more in depth connected way to describe how natural history unfolded.
In fact, we HAVE done a video on every era. We're working on the Cenozoic right now! And you can watch our video on the Paleozoic Era right here: ruclips.net/video/RDQa0okkpf0/видео.html (BdeP)
Thank you for all this great work! :) I'm really interested into Earth Sciences. What i would like is a video about paleogeography or how the climates have evolved through time. :) Or something more about the mass-extinctions.
I would absolutely love more content on turtles, how ancient turtles fit into the world of dinosaurs, how they survived at least 1 extinction level event! They're amazing, rugged critters, truly deserving of the time and interest!
I asked for a video about the sauropod evolution like 6 months ago. I am so incredibly happy with the quality of the information in this video. Thanks for listening to your community 💗
"That's why the park is called…" I loved that part! You once talked about the art made out of Dinos, it would be great to take that onto the cinema realm
A video on the evolution of specific Dinosaur species would be great. Like the Evolution of Tyrannosaurids or Ceratopsians. Thank you for a great video.
Bryce Mckenzie That would be pretty cool, but FYI tyrannosaurids and ceratopsians aren't species, they're families or clades. A species would be Tyrannosaurus rex or Velociraptor mongoliensis with the rex and mongoliensis being the species name.
@@emperorhirohito7327 thank you for the suggestion I will absolutely check him out. You might be interested in James Downard here on RUclips, he knows all things Dino and Evolution. If you ask him to make a video about the evolution of Dinosaur X he will certainly do it.
ozdergecko I wonder if maybe it might be most helpful to have slightly longer pauses between the thoughts in editing. I find that I'm often not quite finished processing the last sentence before a new one starts but that might just be me. Anyway, I love this channel, thank you for making this content you guys.
Would love a version of this about birds from the comet to now. Would love to know how and why they went from big bad beasts to fluffy murder chickens.
They didn't, this video is pretty much covering on your topic. Big beasts and fluffy chickens lived in one time, occupying different eco niches, but once meteorite hit the Earth, big ones died out and only small chickens survived.
@@ВасилийБлаженов-ж9е Plus, I think mammals filling in the ecological niches of being giant animals prevented small chickens from getting any bigger than the elephant bird. They probably could grow to be bigger if large mammals didn’t exist.
I'd love a PBS Eons episode on Coelacanths! Their anatomies, contributions to science and evolution, and most importantly...their conservation! Awesome Videos! Thanks!
This channel, and It's Okay To Be Smart...are two of my fave channels ever. I can literally marathon them for hours. They give me hope for the future of kids developing interest in the sciences. Also, dePastino is crazy eyecandy (had to say it, sorry)
I think what's interesting about this video, is that it shows that it wasn't really that dinosaurs in particular were especially vulnerable to the mass extinction, but rather that, as the largest animals around, they were especially vulnerable to any kind of ecological disaster. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but that's the impression I get.
Less their size that what their size entailed: heavily specialized diets. The smaller more generalized avians and mammals were able to live on what ever food they came across and were better able to survive.
I only found this channel today, and have already watched half your videos. They are just so well done and incredibly informative. I really appreciate all the effort that you all have put into making this channel fantastic.
I've learned (and more importantly retained) more information from watching this channel than basically every class I've taken this school year at college. You guys present information in such a captivating and fascinating way that you even make things I don't really care about in biology like plants and fish sounds awesome. I've actually begun to consider other fields besides my current path of bacteriology like herpetology and micropaleontology bc of your videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Seeing the maps of the drifting continents and the meteor coming in made me think about Chicxulub Crater. I'd love to see a cool Eons video on Chicxulub. I love the Eons videos, thank you for the great info!
I'd add to that a video on all the different branches of marine reptiles, both current and extinct, how distant some are from each other, etc. They touched on it a little here, but a full video would be amazing.
Agreed, also in the interest of clarity I'd like to see two different videos one just about Ichtyosaurs and another about aquatic predators or aquatic reptiles through out history.
Suggestions that would make re-watching Eons fun and may be helpful for teaching it: 1) More of these Ages by acts 2) Playlist by Age & Chronological Order 3) Feel free to go DEEP. I'd love some more deep dives for each slice. Love Eons! Keep this up, how do we help you get to make more of these per week?!
This isn’t lecture level. It’s all trivial information and does not go in depth. So no, it’s not lecture level. It’s enjoyable due to the illustrations, nothing more, nothing less.
honestly i just want to say thanks a lot! your videos help me to do my research for history essays while also being entertaining! so, keep up the good work guys!!
This kind of videos are great! I always struggle a bit to contextualize in time all the events on early life, since even the scales are so out of our commom life experience. The common view on dinossaurs is also a problem in this instance, because it's too easy to forget how long it took for them to evolve and how far apart some species were. This helps a lot!
Absolutely love these videos and a resource. It's so hard to find a scientific breakdown of History like this with visual aid and charismatic narration. Kind of a bummer they have to go so fast through the video I'm sure there's reason for it but makes for a lot of rewinding if you really want to absorb it.
I really really liked this one! Please go in more details on all of the fascinating creatures you have talked about in this video, I would love to learn more about them!
If there was one. There are still 2 times more species of dinosaurs today than species of mammals. Not to say that Earth has always been dominated in any meaningful way only by prokaryotes
I would really like to learn about the evolution of flight, I’m actually trying to get a research project together on the origins of flight and it would be very nice to have a video that explains the prevailing theories as well as Eons does. Thanks for all the great videos guys! I love these! (Also hi Kallie! It’s Trevor from volunteering!)
Love your content. Y have been playing a game called ARK for a long time and now I understand a lot more about the dinosaurs that I love. You guys have very good content, keep it up.
It's lovely to see the time line drawn out and explained in this way, I now feel I understand it far better than I did previously. Though briefly explained it was just enough to keep me interested without bombarding me with information and therefore losing my interest in too many facts, facts I can pick up later and add to my knowledge. Often in documentaries it's expected that you should know the time line of periods and events of the dinosaur reign. This can make it hard to grasp the subject but also when they existed and which other dinosaurs they existed alongside. This format explained it without patronising or, as previously mentioned, bombarding. Subscribed + like.
Man, i can't get enough of this channel. The ambience of the soundtracks that plays along with the video just makes it so incredibly magical and beatiful to watch
Thanks for this, I was wondering what the differences were between the triassic jurassic and cretaceous. ...Also man that was quite the second trunk on that elephant. Glad we spent so much time on the Pubis already or I wouldn't have been prepared XD
I liked the long-form content. Please keep mixing it up length wise. I also enjoyed that you threw out numerous creature names and other terms even if I didn't absorb too much of them; as I watch these videos my literacy in this area increases.
I would love to see a 101 series about basic paleontology!!! Also it would be amazing to know how dinosaurs became birds. Love your channel!!! Saludos desde Perú ❤️
animalia555 Yeah, the two things we have going for us is just how adaptable we are to different environments and just how good we are at adapting our environments. The later of the two has really be our biggest enemy of late, ironicly. The big questions are whether we can adapt as fast as our runaway changes require and can other life forms.
Our use of tools and our flexible diet does give us an advantage, and since we are a social and group oriented species we can cooperate rather than compete for resources. We'd be pretty much unstoppable if we weren't a little too smart and prone to invent tools that can backfire horribly with long term consequences that our brains aren't really capable to fully comprehend until it's too late.
They took a major blow, but they still survived. And even better, the dinosaurs are as successful as they've ever been, having diversified into a wide range of new and spectacular forms, while the surviving crocodilians have barely changed.
I'd like to see something about the evolution of the modern beak. I've seen a couple things about it, but nothing really went into satisfactory detail. To the layperson it looks like therapods went from sharp teeth to beaks overnight. I'm wondering what the transitional forms looked like, and how they were more useful than the jaws of their predecessors. A video on that would be awesome.
Many transitional forms had beaks on the tip of the mouth, but teeth towards the back. The hesperortithes in particular had teeth all along the bottom jaw, but only halfway up the top jaw. (..I tried to put a link here, but failed.) Also, the evolution of beaks has occured in many lineages, both dinosaur and otherwise, and was probably not a weight-saving measure, as was once supposed; rather, birds probably evolved beaks to eat seeds. Also, I've heard that birds have lost the gene for enamel on teeth, which, I imagine, is why so many birds like penguins and geese have evolved little spikes inside of their mouth rather than re-evolving teeth. that's all I know.
I’m binging all of these Eons videos i love it lol 😍🦕 id love to see more videos on aquatic dinosaurs!! i’m sure there were even more strange and fascinating oceans dwellers than there are today
I love this video, I've watched it many times now, I too would love a video for every era. I'd also love a video about what we know on the animal behavior of these creatures and other extinct animals. Thanks!
id love to see a video about urban wildlife, how some species have adapted to urban city life and changes that have occurred to their biology and behavior.
It’s like a Shakespeare play but with even more cold blooded characters
Except it's pretty accepted these days that dinosaurs were warm blooded... but I like the joke.
Iain Hansen technically they’re warm blooded but sure
Lance not true! They were mostly mixed blooded, but yes some were indeed warm blooded.
Lance nooooooooooo my pun is ruined!
+Lance In Iain's defense, there were cold-blooded reptiles during that time too.
Fun Fact:
T-Rex is more closer to us in time, then it was to Stegosaurus.
That is how long The Age of Reptiles was.
براہمداغ Stegosaurus existed during the Jurassic Period while the Cretaceous Period dawned T-Rex who was the last of the Tyrannosaurus to appear on the planet and one of the last great dinosaur species.
Wow!!! That's actually VERY cool!
Cleopatra was closer to us in time than the ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids
براہمداغ it also shows how short the cenozoic actually is/has been up to now

(And now I'm back)
These are mostly fun facts, so its enjoyable.
IDK ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HES SAYING BUT I LIKE IT
Lol same
I've came back to the channel like dinosaurs (but smaller)
You should do an episode about pollinators, how they became a thing and how their relationship with plants evolved through time. How the first plants dealt with the non-existence of animal pollinators, etc.
Invincible Nightmare The first plants were similar to bryophytes that used alternating generations with spores and water to reproduce
Yes but I mean it would be interesting to make a video about it.
really love how this gives lots of context over time including plants, continental positions, environmental factors; a more in depth connected way to describe how natural history unfolded.
This video could be made for every era of life's history, keep up the great work
In fact, we HAVE done a video on every era. We're working on the Cenozoic right now! And you can watch our video on the Paleozoic Era right here: ruclips.net/video/RDQa0okkpf0/видео.html (BdeP)

Can you imagine the very first pterosaur that jumped off a cliff and flew? It's family was probably freaking out
"HEY! DON'T PUUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHH..... Oh, wow, this is cool...!" LOL
I know it's a year late but its family would still be able to glide so falling from a cliff would be no problem for them
I like to think about the ones parkouring up trees to evade both predators and their problems

Could you cover the evolution of blood from simple circulatory systems to how modern traits emerged?
EXCELLENT idea
Yes, please
Turmunhk Ganba fascinating suggestion :)
Great idea!!
That's a sanguine idea
I am so amazed how people discover and put all these things together.
"That's why the park is called…" I loved that part! You once talked about the art made out of Dinos, it would be great to take that onto the cinema realm
Well. It was actually mostly Cretaceous.
Montsechia vidalii: I'm the earliest flowering plant discovered so far!
Ok Bloomer
A video on the evolution of specific Dinosaur species would be great. Like the Evolution of Tyrannosaurids or Ceratopsians.
Thank you for a great video.
Bryce Mckenzie it be so cool but idk if they’d have much knowledge on specific species
Bryce Mckenzie That would be pretty cool, but FYI tyrannosaurids and ceratopsians aren't species, they're families or clades. A species would be Tyrannosaurus rex or Velociraptor mongoliensis with the rex and mongoliensis being the species name.

2 years later that already happened and I'm in quarantine
Mine too! 😊
The dinosaurian tanks! These are my favorite dinosaurs ever too.
