T.Rex: "Do I have Feathers or not? Come on guys you cant be this lost on a fossil..."
*Bursts through wall*
Spinosaurus: *_"wHaT eVeN aM I???"_*
OMG your comment! xDD
But seriously do I have feathers?
Is till think more likely than not, though your intigument was probably mostly avian scales with primitive feathers down your spine and on your shoulders.
IsisMasshiro or RickRaptor105 should make this comment into a Comment.
The part about spino is too true , it’s changed so much over the decades and even some of its earliest discovered remains were BLOWN UP in the allied bombing during WW2
Dinosaurs could have worn top hats and we wouldn’t be able to tell
sum body
I’d say that dinosaur society revolved around certain dinos being able to wear things and other not being able too. The more fancy dinos would wear Bowties and Hats while others could not. Poor Trex could not wear both.
🧐
Until we find a 65m+ year old fossilised top-hat!
@sum body Oh come on.... can you imagine T.Rex tryna tie its bowtie with _those_ arms?!
Yes we would. But no doubt T. rex mainly wore cowboy hats since it lived in Montana and Wyoming.
Fun Fact: the artist of the redesign is also the guy who designed the Pokémon in the live-action Detective Pikachu movie
Cool!
T REX I CHOSE YOU
@@finchatforharambe905 he actually did make a concept design for Tyrantrum, but it ultimately never appeared in the movie

Feathers or no feathers, the T-Rex is amazing.
@@LolBrat123 Thats not a t rex and theres also scale impressions from t rex
@@gamersquid9987 I was hoping someone would fall for that
One time i was at my uncle's farm when suddenly a mouse got out of a wall and ran in front of us across the patio. A rooster pecking next to the hen house noticed it as well. I didn't even had time to understand what was going on that the rooster started chasing the mouse, pinned it to the ground with its beak, threw it in the air and swallowed it head first.
So when i heard some scientists saying that T-rex had feathers, i thought: Yeah that sounds about right.
Like Pansexuals. Penis, No penis, Humans are amazing
What a great take. I feel the same, because I love the twists and turns between the theories of people that do this for their living. One thing that's obvious is that they have demonstrated how crazy close several dinosaurs are to birds tho.
Male T rex, "I love you this much!"
Female T rex, "That's not very much."

Other than that, it was still the same planet, that's for sure.

So we’ve wrapped right back around to “Maybe Jurassic Park had it right after all”
Not really, it has no keratin horns, no lips, is too skinny, arms are too long, the head is completly wrong, and even the scales are the wrong kind, they are reptilian, while the real Rex probably had avian scales on the body, and reptilian only on the face. So no, the did not get it right at all.

Hey guys, it’s your favorite mega theropod from the Maastrichtian! Looks like I’m getting a new redesign for saurian, and I’m flattered!

Lib still, the T Rex didn’t looked at all like JP's Rex. Get over it.
@@David-ni5hj It's a joke
@@David-ni5hj it did. But Real life T rex had orange colors and didnt roar
@DavGP1208 butt hurt much? you do realise the movie came out in 1993 and there model was designed (helped) by palaeontologists so yeah not accurate now but back then top notch and its frackly much accurate then some of these feathered shit people have.
To give you an idea, take the skeletons of a lion and a tiger. Both big cats, their skeletons nearly identical. What indication would the bones give to tell anyone who has never seen the animals alive that one has a lot of colors and stripes and the other a huge mane?
Skin impressions could give the clue about the mane.
Tiger and Lion skeletons are far from nearly identical, though I get your general point.
Hopefully life after humans aren't stupid then.
Sure, but skin impressions would clearly show they were both covered in hair as opposed to being bald, which is the more accurate analogy to the T-rex situation.
Most likely they will be a able to tell the lions had manes due to the impressions of the differences do to the larger mass of hair and length around the neck area, then with the difference between the skulls of a lion compared to a tigers skull, they will then know that this animal had a mane was a Male lion and this skull that has a lion skull but no mane is the female
dinos are something i honestly appreciate and admire their existence
Thats my new pick-up line : "hey there... I really admire your existence"
That’s a phrase I could single-handedly make popular.
This collaboration between gaming and biological science is so endlessly impressive!!
reminds me of exactly what i thought it looked like 30 years ago.
HITLER PO´´
so basically we are getting nowhere..
@@matthewmasood no there are quite a few differences, lips covering teeth, more inward facing arms, and MUCH less skin wrapped overall it looks like it could be a living breathing animal now and not just a godzilla movie monster
I think T Rex was an ambush hunter, I think he was covered in moss, mud, debris and pretended to be a tree.
Probably a boulder instead.
T Rex was too thicc to be a tree.
@@NoName-ze4qn Trees were bigger back then, there are fossils of leaves a couple of feet across. But whatever, he could have been a pile of dirt, just a motionless piece of nature. Dinosaurs were dumb, it wouldn't take much to fool them.
But were they found in Vietnam?
Shit that reminded me of scp 682
One thing that still amazes me is the balance it maintains. This large mass extending outward in both directions on the feet. Makes me think balance was an essential part of its nervous system. It must have had a three axis vestibular system. I’m a microbiologist, so thinking about this is new to me.
Im glad to learn that TRex had lips. I'm curious to know what he used his hands for, and how he slept, and how he got up off the ground. It was interesting to learn that the 1-3 ton animals generally don't benefit from fur/feathers.
They're arms can lift 200 lbs. They probably used them to hold the mate while mating.
@@awesomeexpress1295 *400 lbs
@@awesomeexpress1295 Or also hold the prey while crushing their necks
Damn so that purple dinosaur Barney was the last closest representation we had of t rex then ?
I really doubt T. rex was that closely represented by Barney because I cannot imagine it singing that badly even if it did not have vocal cords that enable it to roar like a supersized lion.
Louis Boyd Barney was Raspberry in color and could do comedy monologues.

T-Rex: When will they figure out if I had feathers or not?
Spinosaurus: Oh please, they thought I was a fish!
Therizinosaurus: Hmm? I didn't hear you over them saying I was a turtle.
Iguanodon and Megalosaurus: Keep talking.
Why is this so accurate
Iguanadon nose horn!!!!
GENIUS
This got me laughing!t undderated
Diplodocus: uhhhhhhh
I only understand this because of ark
I love that they put so much effort into being accurate about what he looked like. 👍
Person, I feel like young tyrannosaurs have feathers or maybe thin quill like feathers, for camo, maybe to simulate bushes or ground texture, or even to appear like a raptor young, and then when the get larger and they can defend them self the loose these feathers, but it could be that some adults have small “hairs” (left over feathers) from their youth, but this may be not that common
Before you all say that you prefer the feathered T-Rex, remember that there is still the fully feathered Yutyrannus.
And the fact that if T. rex had feathers as a baby, it wouldn’t lose all of them by the time it grew up as well. Like how over the span of 50m years (probably got that wrong) whales still have hair
@@skiwee2092 changing the amount of hair on your body as you grow up is hardly the same as changing feathers into scales as you grow. no animal has been shown to change the stuff that grows on their body, so the elephant example everyone throws around really doesn't work for the t-rex. besides that, there's really no evidence that babys had feathers, so considering it as true would be dishonest. the t-rex might have had some vestigial feathers the same way a whale has some hairs, but they would be so small and spread out over their bodies that they might as well not be there.
Yes! I love the boi!
Yep but yutyrannus is not that closely related to tyrannosaurus. Look at the fingers.
Skiwee Deewee yeah, it’s not like birds lose all their feathers as they age! I mean, it feels like we are kind of hinting at them being more like crocodiles.

So people just assumed that everything within the game was mostly accurate, when the vast majority was inaccurate.
Mark Witton was my university professor , and he’s knowledge about paleontology is insane .. glad I met him
Though I'm more a fan of the feathered version aesthetically. I want dinosaurs to be depicted as scientifically accurately as possible and no matter what they looked like, coming face to face with a t-rex is going to be the most terrifying moment of your life. Feathers or not.
I've had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing a fully grown ostrich being a bit cranky so just scale that up and I'll probably die of shock on the spot before I get eaten.
if i was about to be eaten by giant chicken-saurus rex I'd probably chuckle a bit before it got me. Scally T.rex i am pissing myself the whole way
@@sslocke I personally think that feathers can look far scarier, specially if we're talking about animals like Dakotaraptor, Yutyrannus, and similar animals.

@@Radiata_Lionfish its just that a reptile's gaze is so soulless, its only thought on its mind is to eat and kill
I must admit, as big fan of dinosaurs, I really feel quite indifferent about weather they had feathers or not. I am only interested in truth. Whatever the outcome of studies, I'll take it with joy.

I apprechiate their accuracy over nostalgia..its important to make updates based off of scientific discoveries and not just leave the models inaccurate because "they look cool" ..
Cool project and I bought the game but sadly refunded since while it’s cool to look at its not a very ‘fun’ game to play. I had pretty much experienced it all in half an hour
vianjelos The whole point of Saurian is to be scientifically accurate, so yeah lol
I’m so incredibly glad the project exists as well. I don’t even really care about gameplay, I just want accurate and groundbreaking reconstructions in an interactive environment (and one that is easily accessible to the general public!). It’s an amazing achievement, and I’d give all my money to it just for that if it was practical lmao
Will Saurian be as fun as Ark is? 😛
CrimsonXWyvernHD no, because it's more realistic. But it'll be fascinating for sure.
Its amazing looking back at this 2 years later. This was the start of a new era for trex. It feels like the saurian rex has been the gold standard for all accurate trex designs since. Pnso, the field museum, beasts of the Mesozoic, and rebor have all designed similar models to this design since, and I finally feel at rest knowing that the accurate image of trex will likely not change for a long time, if ever
Yes, this truly is the best image of a rex. Without feathers is the best

I appreciate your hard work, and the excellent commentary! Thank you very much!
Props for actually redeveloping according to new scientific discoveries!
Except many paleontologists have refuted the new discoveries and Saurian's claims using examples from T-rex's closest living relatives; birds. Feathers don't have to only insulate, and in fact many feathers are used to diffuse heat, like a heat sink. that and there have been studies found that T-rex's relatives, such as Yutyrannus, were covered in feathers, and gave many real life examples of the ecosystem that currently resides in the Hell Creek formation then and now that state that; T-rex did indeed have feathers, we just don't know how many

I think it's funny how there are now people reluctant to accept a featherless T-Rex because they're so used to it having feathers, when it was the exact same for most of us when they added the feathers in the first place back in the day. We were very much not keen to accept feathers on this iconic beast we all became very familiar with after the release of Jurassic Park.
Excellent presentation of ongoing work. I can't fathom the many silly responses in the comments. Paleontology relies on inference from incomplete data, and this is science at its best.

I think that since t-rex was an animal, it ought to have had some fat in life, rather than being shrink-wrapped like the jp rex.
Witch jp rex
Haha Trex fat lip boi
some might have buts its like a dog/lion fast apex predator means low bodyfat generally
JP Rex was anorexic that is why she was so skinny. All the Dinosaurs were female so there was lots of peer pressure to be skinny.
@@lollol-kz8vc Well not obese, like general fat that they would have along with muscles
Is great to hear that TRex dinosaurs have been keeping up with latest developments.
4:43 imagine their arms were actually fuckin buff tho like they did curls and worked out and having mega buff biceps were all the rage in trex culture xDD
I'm sad to see the feathered t rex go, but the logic and research behind it seems pretty reasonable. The question is; if the adult didn't have feathers because of its size, did the babies have any feathers? It would be pretty interesting if the babies hatched with feathers, then molted them permanently once they grew to a certain size.
Kinda like how Hoatzin chicks are born retaining claws on their wings, but lose them once their wings are developed enough to fly.
As the blog says, it's very possible that this could occur, but since it's not known to happen in any other animal they have decided not to include it in their restoration.
I'd say that it would depend on whether or not it would be evolutionarily advantageous for the young to have feathers.
Personally, I think it would make sense for them to have them, as feathers would provide extra warmth, camouflage, and protection in a particularly vulnerable stage of life. We'll have to wait and see if this is supported by evidence or not in the future, of course.
I'd like this to be true but it'd be the only creature to lose it's feathering entirely from adolescent into adulthood
@@petercarioscia9189 in fairness, there are no animals like the dinosaurs alive today. Pachyderms are born hairless because most mammals are, regardless. All birds, however, are born with feathers; Tyrannosaurs, being non-avian birds, could very well be the same.
Again, it is up for debate until evidence can prove or disprove the hypothesis that infant Tyrannosaurs were feathered.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 You've got it mixed up. T.rex was not a non-avian bird, birds are non-avian dinosaurs. A non-avian bird is an oxymoron
Wait-isn’t it possible that young Tyrannosaurids had feathers and as they age the shed feathers?
Pretty sure that's been proven
You can’t have feathers and scales underneath
@@totallynotjevii574 well what he meant is that the feathers shed as they grow older
@@totallynotjevii574 i think that just might be possible, look at modern day birds
yes
I would like to add that during those period where dinosaurs roamed, it was really really really hot. Scales are better off for huge species for lower thermal body temperature over feathers because T. rex don’t fly.
Exactly. It's reasonable to assume that for this same reason, we have an Ornithomimus specimen with evidence of being partially feathered, with some regions being covered by bare skin.
I was rereading The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and at the beginning there is a map of the island with drawings of the dinosaurs surrounding it, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex looks exactly like this new reconstruction. The book is over 25 years old.
Rhys Kyser well yeah, but still pretty crazy how similar they are
Why people ever romanticized the idea of a feathered Tyrannosaurus is beyond me. I've seen countless "I miss the feathers" comments, but this isn't some fandom. We don't get to prefer what we want when it comes to science. These are animals, and frankly it doesn't matter what your preference of it is. Be prepared to drop established concepts of Dinosaurs as you know them, as they are bound to change with new evidence.
It goes both directions, people were complaining about "I miss the scaly Trex" on many videos.
Feathers look cool but, eh. I don't mind either way.
Pretty sad comment thread.
@Hamish Rev science doesn't care about your feelings. Get over it.
@@shitpost9237 feathered dinosaurs are fine but, t Rex wasn't feathered. You can argue all you want but science says it doesn't have feathers. So yeah.
T-Rex starts scaly, gets feathers, then becomes scaly again
Spinosaurus starts bipedal, becomes a quadruped, then becomes bipedal again
Hmmmmmmm I'm smelling some kind of Jurassic Park conspiracy here 🤔
All jokes aside, this was very interesting!
Next trikes will have four horns!
@@kr1st0saurus actually trikes never technically existed and are just a baby of another species mistakenly thought to have been it's own species... Ha...ha... Look up taurosaurus
I don't think spinos are bipedal again.
@@sinny5404 or triceratops and taurasaurus were two different species.
@@maxsainz2279 I was quoting a theory they had going. It's not confirmed or denied
doesnt matter how the body is actually look like , skull head alone look already deadly scary 💀
I personally like the idea that Rex babies were partially feathered and shed them as they grew.
But yes, large animals retain heat well, feathers would've overheated rexes.
It's truly amazing what we can deduce from just bones and impressions tho. Fantastic
I think T.Rex may have feathers while he\she was a baby? Like with camouflage colors
This
Well that is plausible and it works in with the large body mass theory of feather loss. A juvenile T-Rex could find feathers very beneficial for body temperature regulation as well as for camouflage.
that is very possible because small animals need some help with insulation. Camoflage colors would be a huge help with the high mortality among t-rex babies. Most never made it past age 1.
This is my theory as well. I just cannot be convinced a fully grown T-Rex had feathers. MAYBE a few on the head or the tip of the tail, but I still think if they were covered in feathers they'd overheat.
Actually, base on evo-devo science, you can not have scales and feathers on the same body anyway. In other words, rex babies are still scaly just like the adults
no this video is fake, everyone know that t-rex makes the sound "yee"
Green skin and derpy eyes
Dinosaurs also had BIG lips
No...it sound was " booga booga boo"
And...they liked shrubbery!
No just MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Honestly, when it comes to what the T-Rex looks like now, it's the most terrifying for me. Like looking at it head on send chills down my back.
I love that Mark Witton's art is used so well here. :)
1993: Look, Steven. Stevy-boi. Spielbergien. Your depiction of the T-rex is wrong.
2018: Hey Steve? Remember when we said you were wrong? Well... _oops_
The skull shape, arms, and overall size were still very off though.
@@crampus8205 how far off were was the size in JP?
@@gangweedernigga4012 both longer and lighter in weight than the real deal.
JP‘s T-Rex was basically a skinny legend, but like - way too big in size
@@majora5651 I would argue that the size is a result of tampering by Dr. Wu. Remember, the JP dinosaurs were made to be attractions in a theme park, and they'd had DNA from other animals spliced into their genomes to fill in the gaps. There's no telling how much all that splicing has changed those dinosaurs, whether it be size or capabilities (Frilled Lizard + Spitting Cobra + Dilophosaurus?).
And we’re slowly returning to the Jurassic park Rex which has always been my favorite lol
Not quite. The Jurassic Park Rex's teeth were visible when its mouth was closed, unlike real Tyrannosaurs that hid their teeth behind lips. Also, the T-Rex in JP roared, which we know is impossible since the vocal cords required to "roar" wouldn't yet exist in the fossil record until millions of years after the Chicxulub impact. Also, real Tyrannosaurs had forward facing binocular eyes that could see and track very well, unlike the JP Rex that could only detect movement.
@@SullyFox they actually acknowledge that in the movie. All dinosaurs in jp have had their dna heavily modified. Someone even says they would have looked a lot different if they were accurately reconstructed.
@@mohammadsaleem5990 Yeah Dr. Wu the main scientist in the movie said that
@@SullyFox certainly there are differences but who is to say what perceptions will change in the future ? Perhaps they did roar or perhaps their teeth did show ? I know current data shows otherwise but to that end as was stated Jurassic park acknowledges the inaccuracies and for the most part my comment is highlighting the idea that people tried to push the idea that T-Rex was covered in modern feathers as opposed to possibly some primordial ones
@@SullyFox "real" lmao it has yet to be confirmed if dinosaurs had lips and yet u still refer to current theorys as "real" when it may as well change in the future
I want a game with most discovered ancient animals. you survive, hunt them and craft items. Now that is incredible.
ark is the closest to that i think
Soooo ARK?
@@Rwy801998 I didn’t know that thanks for telling me
Great video - full of fascinating info.
Before feathers the t-Rex looked normal, with feathers the t-Rex looked either goofy or perfect, after the feathers became scales again the t-Rex looks naked.
Before/After, what about how it looked in between!
Jason Hatt in between is the one with feathers..
@@lawabiding9152 I mean In between going from scales to feathers, when it's half feathered half scaled.
Jason Hatt id still consider that feathered
@@lawabiding9152 Let's get some money from a college to study this
Trey the explainer: *internal screaming intensifies*
HAHAHAHA!!!
Jordan Peterson: Our latest studies tell us T. rex did not have feathers.
KaTrey the Newxplainer: So you're saying T. rex had feathers?
When he say that? In the video about what. Dinosaurs could have feathers he mentioned that the rex could just have it when it was little or in some specific áreas.
@Red Canyon with that logic, same thing goes for trey. If he doesnt like the idea of scaly trex then he shouldnt throw "hate speech" toward the scaly trex fans
Thinking the same thing
If you don't get why trey would scream at this then you've never watched trey the explainer
Just bought saurian, this video is what introduced me to it. Thank you very much ^_^
3:12 that transition tho
RIP fluffy Rex :( you will be missed
Hail Giratina The true god, didn't it still have fethers on it's head? Or dose that depend on climate?
Actually it isn’t quite RIP yet. We just know it lacked feathers on a lot of parts of its anatomy.
Bk Jeong, maybe the amount of fethers was determined by climate?
The study itself actually shows that's not too likely.
Bk Jeong, so Trex may have shed like a dog in summer? Cool!
the problem with Saurian is that they focus so much time and effort on the realistic dinosaur models...they are missing an overall realistic experience.
the Cretaceous forest should be teaming with flying and crawling insects, small mammals, and flying birds, yet all you see are the big animals, and that is especially apparent in the juvenile stage when you are small dinosaur foraging the undergrowth.
I would imagine an adult dinosaur would also attract small animals, just like how elephants have a following of egrets and oxpeckers, so would Triceratops or an Ankylosaurus must have been a great attraction for smaller Cretaceous animals.
Had the focus was on only one playable animal, and a richer lively environment the game would be much less disappointing and much more enthralling, right now it's just too lifeless and empty.
The game isnt complete, so many animals are still to be added, such as mammals. However, they have a size limit in mind when adding in new animals, with Chamops being an example of the smallest an animal can be to pass through into the game due to optimization. Right now there already is a bird, depalma's orinthurine. There are two more birds to come as well, Brodavis, and Avisaurus.
Do keep in mind that it's still not even in alpha yet, it's going to be a while...
Gad Yariv my boy the game isn’t done yet and yeah there going to to be obviously touching up the animals that you play as more than other animals
Sorry but I couldn't keep quiet.. lol.
Triceratops isn't a dinosaur (well kind of. Let me explain)
When they first found triceratops they were vexed by why they could never find baby trike skeletons besides those in eggs. Well they discovered the Taurosaurus. And with it they found out that the triceratops wasn't a full dinosaur, it was just a baby taurosaurus the whole time. Since triceratops was discovered first it's a sensitive topic whether it's a taurosaurus or our beloved trike.
Though taurosaurus looks much different . The crest we all know actually splits down the middle as it grows.
I've heard Jack Horner's argument regarding the Triceratops/Torosaurus though his claims have been supported for other late cretaceous species the Triceratops vs Torosaurus debate has been more murky due to research supporting both possibilities in the Triceratops / Torosaurus debate.
Thanks for making this video
Outstanding work. I'll leave it to experts to debate the plausibility of this reconstruction but it is visually impressive in the extreme.
While I am upset that the T-Rex no longer has feathers, I am glad we know more about the Dinosaur.
TBH JP's Rex is still pretty darn accurate from a visual perspective. Sure, not everything in the movie was accurate, but many of the designs (T-rex, Brachiosaurus (Giraffetitan), parasarolephus) still hold up fairly well. Plus the movie almost single-handedly got people to stop viewing dinosaurs as slow lumbering beast and started to get people to see them as agile, intelligent and dangerous.
Well if you miss feathery _T. rex_ you still have _Yutyrannus._ It's not as large as Rexy and it has longer arms, but fossil evidence shows it was covered in floof.
Dinosaurs with feathers seem silly anyways. What would be the purpose for a massive reptile to have feathers??
Javontae Eaddy dinosaurs are not massive reptiles. Some dinosaurs were very small. Calling them reptiles is the same as calling you a synapsid. Sure it's technically true but I don't expect you to have scales.
@@Rune_Scholar T-Rex was huge....that's what I was talking about
I’m so glad game designers are doing their research and trying their hardest to make a realistic prehistoric game!
Videos like this make me warm and fuzzy inside
Love the illustration by Angie Rodriquez. Loosely expressive foliage, humid atmosphere, oblique and indirect light, and descriptive animals = very cool.
people always argue about what looks make it the trex look scarier and most people say that the feathers make it look silly and im just like trust me is you ever met a trex the last thing you would think about is it looks
damn right
And why does it matter? Like as long as it is accurate to how it used to be, we cant just be like "no i dont like that one because it doesnt look scary enough so i dont want to believe thats how it looks when it was alive and real" like we cant just change the past
@@pogpogpurinn amen brother well said
@Hans Hubner i have to disagree with etter bight
@Hans Hubner The Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, but your statement is very incorrect, the Spino was bigger, but it would be destroyed by a T-Rex in a fight, Spinos just aren't made for fighting large land carnivores
Why do so many creators title their videos with a statement but then put a question mark on the end? It pisses me off?
Get a grip
I really hate it when they do that?
im going to start ending all my statements with question marks?
its not a statement he is asking if you think its the best representation.
It's an old trick in publishing that is meant to grab the reader's attention. As a general rule you can usually answer it yourself with 'No', as it is mostly just bait, with the question often being rhetorical (because the author doesn't know the answer) or not even indicative of the underlying story. That's how you get headlines like: "Is this celebrity pregnant?" or "Can this drug heal cancer?".
In this instance however the question is nonsense because the title as a statement is already more exciting than the question, which apparently is 'Yes' anyway.
This is my favourite Ben G Thomas video 👍👍
Outstanding illustrations 👍
If they had feathers, they would have them in areas where it's there only for cosmetic purposes (well, reproductive purposes, really).
I still like to think they had them on their arms to help with signaling to other T-Rexes
then i suddenly imagine them having peacock feathers in their backs as they hunt down their prey
(with the desingt of the feathers looking like camouflage)
Or it was only there for the young. Kinda like how Elephant calves have some fur.
Game developers: chop off feathers
Paleontologists: You should have gone for the head!
Chop off the head? I don't think T. rex will go for that!
maybe THANOS WAS THE T REX BEFORE ..
I understood that reference!
I love it! Finally we're back T-Rex not being some big feathered freak!
I don't really know why people went that way!
I've loved being able to tell all the people that were like, 'Ohhh, it's a big chicken!
Though it may be an ancient ancestor of chickens, which I don't mind, but at least there are no feathers on them!
Tyrannosaurus is definitely not the ancestor of chickens.
@@therublixcube3052 exactly! That's what I've been trying to tell everyone
I thought they found proto feathers in trex.
7:28 cowboys rode T. rex into battle
Mothinajamjar Robert Bakker silohette
This comment is hilarious in multiple ways, funnily enough not the fact Cowboys rode T Rex in to battle. But why would Cowboys go to a battle?
Welcome to True Man's Land
Except you are not riding a dinosaur,
You ARE the dinosaur.
Is that a jojo reference???
That's a fat hairy Paleontologist, not a cowboy.
“We spared no expense”
This is good
“We have a T.rex!”
I knew it wouldn’t have looked completely like that I’m so happy it has lots of scales
@Mitchell BURGESS The earliest ancestors of the T-Rex actually were covered in feathers but they lost them when they migrated and evolved to their giant size.
Hi Ben! I loooooove your videos i'm such a fan you are so professional you have kept me entertained for hooouuurs. But i have a question for you - have you done any videos on ceratopsians? I had a look but i couldn't find any... if not, would you mind explaining the history of ceratopsian, the usual, what they evolved from, basal and derived ceratopsians? Ooor, you could even do a series! That would be amazing. Thanks, Ajay.
