Wasn't there an entirely preserved leg with skin of a dinosaur discovered this year? I thought that this was going to be the biggest news in paleontology.
We might be waiting for the papers to get published, I’d imagine that would take a bit of time depending on just how much information we can get from the find!
Yes and I'm sure we'll hear all about it in 2056 when there are some scientists who aren't hustling to get money or wasting their time being consultants on some vapid entertainment media project for long enough to do some real work.
I would love to see a video summarizing what we believe about the when/where the different animal kingdoms split from each other. For example how diapsids split into the ancestors of lizards (lepidosaurs) and archosaurs (predecessor to dinosaurs and crocodilians)
I always had a feeling geckos were ancient 🦎 considering they have the most variation and most sub species of any genus in the squamate order to date!!! Geckos for the win!!!! 2023!!! I am so excited about this discovery!
The problem I have with the Trex arm theory is that its tiny predecessor, Moros intrepidus, already has that basic shape with small arms, and all of the intermediaries have it too. So it has nothing to do with their massive size.
Maybe it is just a shape that works well for predators. Modern birds, large and small, follow that form factor, wings tucked back to allow forward striking of the head?
I kind of wondered if it was relative head size during early development. For example, you have an egg with a curled up, not quite ready dino inside. Because its head is tucked forwards, a larger skull would run out of room pretty quick with large arms in the way. Smaller arms meant a more developed or larger head prior to hatching. From what i've seen, the size of the trex means large legs are needed to support its weight, so combine a large head and large legs and there's not much room for arms left in the egg. But that's just me pulling random ideas from...somewhere...and applying the kind of logic that sounds good if you don't think about it too hard. I'm most likely wrong, but all 3 of the examples were thicc legged bipedal dinos with heads that look disproportionally large.
OMG that pic of Meraxes Gigas! I'm always interested but every once in a while I'm transported if you will. That may be my new "Dino Crush" it happens so often as so many discoveries are made. Awesome work and upload as usual, Thank you and Happy Holidays to ALL involved!
The T-Rex loved tossing his food into the air and catching it in his mouth. The creature thus evolved for optimization of this consumption style. Early humanoids attempted to copy this but never quite had the same success, as evolution shows, with our lanky arms and small mouths. We still see this activity enacted by some with M&Ms, etc.
If group feeding or intraspecific combat was common among large theropods, it would make sense to have reduced forelimbs. As if feeding becoming highly aggressive and one Tyrannosaur accidently chomped on one of their limbs, it would be a grizzly wound and potentially deadly. It would also make for an easily crippling wound if Tyrannosaurs fought among eachother. So it was likely best arms were kept small to limit the likelihood of them being injured, amputated, or torn off completely.
I never grow tired at watching Jon play. He's really good at guitar and lightening fast. As a 'guitarist' myself, I really appreciate anyone who can play that well.
One cool detail about Meraxes gigas is that the second toe from the middle (the first one touching the ground) had an enlarged claw. It was nowhere nearly as disproportionately large or sharp as those of dromaeosaurs (raptors), and given its anatomy it couldn't be held up either. Overall it looked more like a cassowary claw. The use is still uncertain of course, but it's a weird thing to find in such a large predator!
5:33 I wanna do a _Fresh Prince of Bel Air_ themesong joke about this prehistoric lizard, but honestly, I just can't be arsed. It'd take much more time and creativity than I have rn.
This year has been full of great discoveries. In my eyes the dinosaurs Jakapil, Maip, Meraxes, daurlong and natovenator are the top 5 new dinosaurs of 2022
Oh! It's balance! If you grow the head bigger and keep the arms the same size, it'll be front-heavy, won't balance as well and won't be as successful, so selective pressure removed the largest arms. That seems obvious now...
The idea of a fossil in a box that has been in the back of a museum for decades and someone decided to take a glance at it themselves and going "Oh wait". But with time, a piece that has been looked at before can reveal more with a different view.
I'm still amazed at evolution's incremental adaptive or non-maladvaptive changes over long time spans, especially given the lack of intelligent design in the process.
Yes! I caught that too. Meraxes was Queen Rhaenys's (Aegon's sister wife, not Corlys's wife) dragon who was killed in Dorne. Daemon's dragon is Caraxes.
Maybe the arms grew smaller to help the theropod become more streamlined thus allowing it to travel faster with less effort through the thick mesozoic atmosphere. Which the empirecal evidence shows us was at least 10 bars pressure. In reference to air bubbles found in amber dating back to the mesozoic.
T-Rex hunted in packs. When a prey got killed a feeding frenzy would ensue. Long arms would invariably get lost during the frenzy, so having short arms protected them.
I swear, there are only two types of discoveries: 1. We found this brand new species in someone's backyard, but it turns out we had 200 other samples at the back of the museum. 2. Great new guys, the whateveris whocaresaur had FOUR toes instead of three :)
The Lizard found in Scotland is quite the find, as it's thought that most evidence of triassic fossils and triassic geology must be underwater as there's so little from that period of time to have been discovered in Europe.
Oh please. This has been going on in NYC well before 2019. This is nothing but landlord greed and the only reason the apartments need so many costly upgrades is because they aren’t updating them as they’re needed. Even the math of keeping a unit empty for 4+ years because the repairs aren’t worth the rent doesn’t even make sense as an argument because it raises the value of the property in total. If you’re unfit to be a landlord (which so many are, but that’s a another subject) then just say that. Empty housing and commercial spaces should be taxed and taxed heavily for blight.
I guess with a larger head, you'd need smaller front arms in order to keep the same balance with the tail, if the rest of the animal did not significantly change in the process. Particularly so, if the front arms were not really being used (and the elbows bent the arms _inwards_ rather than forward, anyway). I remember seeing an assembled tyranosaurus skeleton in one of the airports I was passing through - I can't remember if it was Minneapolis or Chicago.
Kangaroos definitely have arms though? Like, you might not see them on a stylised silhouette on a logo, and they're obviously not used when bounding, but they definitely have and use them? When they're just slowly moving across the ground while grazing, or when two male kangaroos are fighting during mating season (to scratch, as a secondary attack), to name two examples
Simpliciphus Nockluicus is the actual name submitted for the new species of orthopod to be named in honor of the current president. The Grand Committee of Nomenclature voted that this would be an obvious quid pro quo and rejected this label.
A while back I saw a video about dinosaurs 🦖 evolution. After years of research there is a possibility that these short arms evolved from fins when they came onto land and were no longer needed!! It is thought the 🐊 alligators feet may have evolved the same way.
The croc was on death row and when asked what it wants for it's last meal ordered juvenile ornithopod: the eleven herbs and spices were not fossilised however
Technically from space it's white, blue, green, yellow, tan, black, etc. Given the typical cloud covered, you could just as easily call it the white planet.
So basically Tyrannosaurus and other small armed species when going extinct hadn't completely removed their forearms via evolution.....they were still growing more adapted (ofc...but sharks are more or less perfect for like forever ;) .... if I'm not babbling nonsense this is very cool stuff...imho 😊
do sharks have protective bones between the inside of their mouth and their heart? seems risky to have your heart and the place where creatures will be struggling for their life so close together
Great stuff! Yes, it seemed to me that you just can't afford to have that big a head unless you give up something, and given that sexy momma time and fast legs were not on the potential list for energy savings, and since giving up too much tail would make you fall on your face, the arms hadda go.

Tiny arms for the T. Rex are somewhat similar to the tailbone for us: a vestigial appendage that lost its function through disuse.
