Thank you so much for having me on, Lindsay! It was super fun, and as always, it turned out brilliantly! Fantastic work by you and Gian, im stoked for your next part. I hope we can work together again soon!
Ironically enough, in the books naming it "Jurassic" park was actually intended as an indication of the park having proritized markitability over safty or scientific accuracy.
I grew up with a ginkgo tree in my backyard, fun fact they drop all of their leaves for the winter in one day so for a few hours in the fall it's essentially raining leaves from the ginkgo tree. It was always cool to watch
as kids we used to collect and store them in books. im sure there was a reason why we put them in between the pages of books, might have something to do with paper sucking up moistures of the leaves. Then randomly, we started competing who has the strongest stem of the leaf, one thing lead to another, us boys were storing them under our shoe insoles. every boy's hands smells like feet for like a year. good memories.
When the leaves fall, ginkgo biloba becomes rocky biloba. “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it…”
fun fact about gingko: theyre some of the few trees that didnt die from the radiation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki! Theres one around 2 km from the center of the explosion site, thats over 150 years old and survived, thats pretty impressive for a tree!
Pretty awesome for a species with an extreme genetic bottleneck in the last couple hundred years. It's hard to imagine that we were down to six of those things left in the world at one point.
I doubt that's really a radiation thing, the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't produce much fallout and at 2 km away from the center of the explosion there'd be no noticeable radiation from the blast itself. It's probably more that the tree survived the following firestorm that was ignited by the bomb and which caused most of the destruction since most buildings in Japan at the time were still built out of wood, which is still impressive and speaks to how hardy these trees are.
Wiggling your ears is a trait I discovered I had when I noticed that sometimes my glasses got closer to my face for no reason I could explain. This allowed me to figure out what sensations I was feeling when it happened, and isolate the muscle groups so I could do it on purpose. Now I can wiggle my ears when I want to. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
One of the earliest science lessons I remember in school was my teacher coming into class with a cool leaf she found on school grounds. She explained to us how it was a living fossil from dinosaur times, and we got to go on a "fossil hunt" mini field trip around the grounds to find the tree it was from while she taught us cool paleontology facts. It's a super fond memory for me so I got all nostalgic hearing you talk about how rad ginkgo trees are! ^_^
I am so jealous of you being able to go on a mini-paleontology field trip. School would've been so much more fun and I wouldn't learned things so much more easily if it'd all been framed around dinosaurs and paleontology.
There's a "young" (approx 100 year old) ginko tree on my block. Walking through the absolute rain of golden leaves in the fall is one of my favorite things.
@@Techno_Idioto UGH, that was a "Pun-ishment" LOL. No, this is lovely if you like fall colors at all. Ginko trees turn such a bright yellow, no other trees in my area come close.
Ginko trees have the prettiest leaves. I love the colour and I love autumn. All the pretty coloured leaves just make me happy for some reason. lol I live in the UK, so most our trees just go orange-brown or like almost yellow. Still pretty though! But yeah, Ginko trees are really special.
I'm so happy you brought up Ceratosaurus, it's definitely an underrated dinosaur. It's four fingers, and the really unique tooth structure they had always fascinated me. Allosaurus is my other favorite dinosaur though, so I don't mind it getting attention as well. Honestly both are extremely awesome animals.
Oh, that's why that place in eastern Washington is called ginko petrified forest. As a small child, my parents explained that sometimes wood could, left for thousands of years, turn to stone, and that was call petrified wood. And we are going to visit the ginkgo petrified forest. I was kinda disappointed when we got there and instead of stone trees, it was desert where you could find some petrified rocks.

fr, was pretty clever lmao, too bad the JP movies pretty much screwed up modern views of prehistoric animals (cough, bald dromeosaurs and elephant-skin t-rex) nowadays
@@thylascene You do realize that the appearance of those dinosaurs at the time was considered relatively accurate, right? Dromeosaurs being bald was the general consensus, and the idea that most dinosaurs were feathered only recently became the consensus, long after Jurassic Park was made. Jurassic Park did, however, made the public aware that dinosaurs were not slow, stupid beasts that dragged their tails.
35:20 Interesting fact about the Thagomizer (There is no british spelling, only Z :( ) it was named by a cartoonist and not a paleontologist! A comic was made about cavemen who were naming dinosaurs, when Thag was killed by an unnamed weapon on a Stegosaurus
Yeah the inaccuracy if the jp movie dinos annoys me a little less when I just think about how the dinos are just designed by humans to be the most impressive display animal. Because if I dont then the bs they call the giganotosaurus in the last movie is gonna make my brain bleed. Though I will never forgive them for messing up the Dilophosaurus as much as they did. Dilo could have literally been what their raptors were... It was one of the biggest predators of its time and quite large compared to humans.
I just wish the movies played into the whole “not real dinosaurs” thing more, because the amount of people who think velociraptors actually looked like that is so saddening. It’s on par with Jaws with the amount of misinformation it spread.
@redspiderlilys6 I mean, Henry Wu gives a similar spiel in Jurassic World, but mostly in response to criticism of his hybridization projects. It definitely doesn't hold the same meaning, mainly because of how defensive it feels.
This is geniuenly the series i am most invested in OUT OF ALL. Nothing, not even the coolest show or movie has me so invested as this. I SCREAMED when i saw new episode. Keep up the great work, cant wait for the next period!!
first off, great video, I get so excited when I see you have a new upload. second, I’m a therian myself (as in the animal people kind. obviously not the prehistoric kind but that would be pretty cool) and the namedrop jumpscared me lmaooo
I just about screamed when I saw your skeletal of spinosophorosus is from my hometown museum! I've always been obsessed with dinosaurs and still go to that museum often so I instantly recognized the picture
I recently was in DC with my fiancée roaming around the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History... and my fiancé's first sentence was "Lindsay Nicole... would be... stoked"
A two-headed snake is a basically like a pair of scissors. There's two of them, but they're always together, so they get treated as one object. But a "pair of scissors" is still singular.
Two heads, 2 minds, two individuals no exceptions. You need a pair of conjoined twins and you will never make The mistake of thinking a shared body means a single individual ever again.
@@darcieclements4880 Was about to say, it depends on the 'type' of two headed snake. But the one on her leg is two fully separate heads and necks a bit as well. So three snakes.
Love the fact you showed a picture of a tree shrew for Eutherians. I used to work with tree shrews way back when they were still considered prototypical primates; they were the subjects for my PhD dissertation.
24:04 Its a Liopleurodon, Charlie! A magical Liopleurodooooon- hes gonna show us the waaaay~ (no clue if its actually the same creature and she just used a different pronunciation or not- but I had to)
It *is* the same creature! Lindsay's using the correct pronunciation here. Pink and Blue are not trustworthy purveyors of accurate paleontological knowledge! Shocking, I know.
Hey Lindsay... Ever though about combining your love for metal and Zoology? You could go alternative metal with an invertebrate song: "I shit out my face" Or power metal for a titanoboa song: "I'll swallow you whole" Or death metal for a Permian extinction song: "Oh fuck ... everything's Dead!"
The Reign of the Tyrant Lizard King is top notch inspirational material for Power Metal or In the forest of the Terror Lizards for something more Black Metal.
OMFG Lindsay, I'm curently binging your videos. And as a biologist i just have to say DAAAAAMN you have really good info. TYSM for your divulging service :))))
Ginkos are my favourite tree, i have a tattoo of some leaves and I always go on about how cool they are and where they come from at every chance i get! Glad you covered them with such enthusiasm!
Awesome video, as always. I am enthralled by the ginkgo tree and hope you bring up magnolias in your cretaceous video in the future, too. They're such a fun plant. Loving my t-shirt and hat, too. Happy to direct people to your channel when they ask about it. Excited to see what else you make in the future: both content and apparel.
I got way too excited every time Borealopelta showed up onscreen for a moment. It's just SUCH a cool fossil and even more mindblowing in person. There's even a cast of the head you can touch. My second favourite fossil after the Berlin archeaopteryx.
Someone needs to make an edit of all the times she talks about caecilians but without any of the context so it sounds like it's about weird shit Sicillians do
Everytime I hear the Spore music in the background I kick my feet a little, it fits so perfectly. Your videos are amazing btw. I'm always looking forward to your next project!
So in the Jurassic Park novel it is pointed out that most of the dinosaurs are from the Cretaceous era, John Hammond replies that the marketing guys felt Jurassic Park was more catchy.. The novels also describe Dilophosaurus as being it's actual size, not the dinky little.guy from the movies
Dollocaris looks like the grumpy robot sidekick to an incompetent villain in a cartoon. The type who's jaded and too smart to be playing second fiddle to some buffoon.
Been watching some of your vids for a minute but the Zoo Tycoon music got me, now I'm subscribed in the name of nostalgia and quality science content. Keep it up!
1. As a girly who JUST got a floral sleeve with Ginkgo leaves incorporated I 10^100 share your enthusiasm for the species. 2. Please Please Please speak about ammolite whenever you revisit the ammonite topic. I've started a collection of gems and fossils because I am a nerd.
I am here for all the love of ginkgo trees. One of my favorite plants in the world, especially in the fall! As always, excellent and enjoyable video, keep it up!
The whole “Jurassic Park make people think T-Rex isn’t from the Cretaceous!!!” Has always been so odd to me, In at least the first movie MOST creatures not from the Jurassic are labeled as such. Like it never tries to mislead people all it does is trust people to know.
CinemaWins also pointed out that there is dialogue showing the writers (and most of the characters) know the animals are from all different periods. Jurassic Park was the name Hammond chose (which does kind of tie in with his "all sparkle and little substance")
The issue is most people didn't even watch the original movie, and just associate the "Jurassic" in the title with the skeleton T. rex in the logo. And maybe around 95% of people who _did_ watch the movie hyper skippa skippa'd the opening up until the T. rex break-out scene.
There are a lot of stupid people in the world... You'd be surprised how easily mislead some people can become, even when something is seemingly obvious and isn't meant to be taken as a reality. It's actually quite scary how easily people believe things that aren't factual or don't have the common sense to just look things up and educate themselves.
This channel is such a breath of fresh air. The information is always interesting, and well presented, but what makes it stand apart is how you put personality into it. A channel that either teaches me insanely interesting stuff or makes me laugh 100% of the way through is just perfect! Keep it up
Just wanted to share a little insect interaction I had today. I was sitting on a park bench near the river in my town when a bumblebee smacked into the ground in front of me. Like, it sounded like someone had thrown a pebble at the sidewalk. It seemed mostly okay, but was having a hard time turning itself over. So, I took off my flip flop to help it flip over, and instead, it latched onto my shoe and wouldn't let go. I ended up sitting on the bench with the bumblebee resting on my shoe beside me for a good half an hour before I had to leave. Poor little guy did not want me to move it onto a leaf nearby and kept clinging to whatever I tried to push it off with. I didn't have any way to give it water if it was thirsty, so I hope it was just tired and needed a rest. Bumblebees are such chill little dudes; I really hope that bee was okay.
I recently found a whole, completely intact dead bumble bee. It’s getting colder in my area so I think the little thing just naturally reached the end of their journey. But I’d almost never seen such a thing before.
very minor correction: I'm pretty sure spinophorosaurus having tail spikes is an inaccuracy, the spikes were found to have come from a nearby stegosaur instead. shunosaurus did have it though
Lindsay I have been a fan of you forever now...after your collabs with Shark Bytes and Mamadou...DinoFax was literally icing on the cake...THANK YOU for you...never stop
@aegresen conjoined twins are a thing and they are two individuals. Just because they are called two headed doesn't mean it is only the head that is duplicated. But even if it was just the heads that were duplicated spent mean it is one individual, they still have two brains which is two separate thought processes.
I strongly agree. We would never consider conjoined humans to be one person if they had two mines we would consider them to be individuals that are unfortunately stuck together. Now if the twinning is in the body part and there's only one head then that's one individual.
@@aegresenI think what you're really saying is that two-headed snake is a derogatory term and that it should be a one bodied pair of snakes. Or perhaps we should just call them conjoined twin snakes. After all, calling conjoined twin humans a two-headed human is incredibly rude.
Fun fact: there's evidence that gymnosperms also used insect pollination as far back as the triassic before angiosperms made that lifestyle their personality. Temnospondyls were still around though, they wouldn't go extinct till 120 mya with koolasuchus. Shame though, I wish we stil, had them. That artwork of the stegosaurid with the blue mini dinos living between its playes is so good. Chilesaurus shoutout, I love a good old fashioned what-the-fuck, reminds us to stay humble. YI QI MENTION MY FAVOURITE DINOSAUR I LOVE IT THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT. The cretaceous lasted for ages the next video is going to be an hour long.
Another awesome video!! Startling my friend with the knowledge that all non-monotreme animals are technically therians, and the mental image of an armless snake flopping around on back legs, and the starkly brilliant idea that is getting zooted and watching birds dance, are just a few reasons I will watch every damn video you post.
Our Ash tree in the front of our house was a victim to Emerald Ash Borers (big sad, they're doing a number on ash trees across Canada), and the city went on a mission to get them cut down, but they also offered us new trees, from a small selection. I think we're the only one on the block to pick ginkos, but I'm glad we did. They're pretty as fuck!
I can wiggle my ears too. When my kids were younger, they would make me do it to show their friends that their mom was a "freak of nature." (Their words, specifically my oldest. Not mine😂) I remember how proud they each were when they figured out they could do it, too.
I love the energy and passion of all your videos. You can really tell how much you love this subject. If student had teacher that loved the subject they teach this much, I think a lot more people would enjoy learning
Was watching this while waiting for my bus and I had to take a moment to admire the trees and plants around me. Evolution is a beautiful thing and it fascinates me to know how all the modern plants surrounding me came to be.
Hey Lindsay! Thanks for another great video! With regards to the length of the video - I'd say as long as the content is as interesting as this one, the video length ain't matter...
@TaterPotater if your genuinely asking I'll tell ya friend. It takes place on an island that is in the shape of a ships wheel (Helm). The Island is aptly named Dragon's Helm Island. Anyway there's a corrupt Mayor and secretly he's very powerful and very bad so when the party members attempt to beat him they are whisked away to the Cambrian period and have to make their way back to the Holocene by defeating monsters, solving riddles, completing puzzles, and surviving traps and dungeons. I'm tentatively calling it The Epoch of Dragon's Helm Island. I'm hoping it'll take players from Level 1 to about Level 16 or 17. But that's all I'm saying cause then if someone copies me it's not a plagiarism
I did design a campaign in the style of Dinotopia's book and Skull island an instead of monster had mesozoic and paleozoic creatures. They are way more interesting than many monsters that are just nonsensical and incoherent to create a living ecosystem.

Today I learned that the term "thagomizer", which I only knew as a Far Side joke, has been adopted by the dino community as an actual term for that body part! I am sure the late Thag Simmons is proud of this 😀
Nyctosaurus is a thunderbird native to the Arizona New Mexico region that has a sail on its head; This sail was used to catch the wind (just like a sailboat today) which gave it the ability to stay in flight indefinitely!

It sounds catchier and easier to say so it would be ‘consumer friendly’ as a theme park name regardless of the accuracy.

That's precisely what the books say.
fr, was pretty clever lmao, too bad the JP movies pretty much screwed up modern views of prehistoric animals (cough, bald dromeosaurs and elephant-skin t-rex) nowadays
@@thylascene You do realize that the appearance of those dinosaurs at the time was considered relatively accurate, right? Dromeosaurs being bald was the general consensus, and the idea that most dinosaurs were feathered only recently became the consensus, long after Jurassic Park was made. Jurassic Park did, however, made the public aware that dinosaurs were not slow, stupid beasts that dragged their tails.
Animal: Lay eggs
Eutherians: "I am the egg"
35:20 Interesting fact about the Thagomizer (There is no british spelling, only Z :( ) it was named by a cartoonist and not a paleontologist! A comic was made about cavemen who were naming dinosaurs, when Thag was killed by an unnamed weapon on a Stegosaurus
The Far Side by Bill Watterson RIP the legend :]

@@joekrampus1154and both of them are still alive
Jurassic Park not being accurate is entirely in keeping with Crichton's book where Hammond was a greedy bastard who cut every expense.
I love how the book itself essentially starts with Wu telling Hammond how NOT dinosaur their dinosaurs probably were.
My favorite part was when the rpg met the velociraptor
Yeah the inaccuracy if the jp movie dinos annoys me a little less when I just think about how the dinos are just designed by humans to be the most impressive display animal. Because if I dont then the bs they call the giganotosaurus in the last movie is gonna make my brain bleed.
Though I will never forgive them for messing up the Dilophosaurus as much as they did. Dilo could have literally been what their raptors were... It was one of the biggest predators of its time and quite large compared to humans.
I just wish the movies played into the whole “not real dinosaurs” thing more, because the amount of people who think velociraptors actually looked like that is so saddening. It’s on par with Jaws with the amount of misinformation it spread.
@redspiderlilys6 I mean, Henry Wu gives a similar spiel in Jurassic World, but mostly in response to criticism of his hybridization projects. It definitely doesn't hold the same meaning, mainly because of how defensive it feels.
Thagomizer. Named after the late Thag Simmons.
Nice of the stegosaurids to adopt that name in remembrance of him
I was looking for this comment! 😂
This is why we should let comedians come up with more scientific terms
"Look what Thag do" 😂
This is geniuenly the series i am most invested in OUT OF ALL. Nothing, not even the coolest show or movie has me so invested as this. I SCREAMED when i saw new episode. Keep up the great work, cant wait for the next period!!
Literally me too 🎉😂
first off, great video, I get so excited when I see you have a new upload. second, I’m a therian myself (as in the animal people kind. obviously not the prehistoric kind but that would be pretty cool) and the namedrop jumpscared me lmaooo
I just about screamed when I saw your skeletal of spinosophorosus is from my hometown museum! I've always been obsessed with dinosaurs and still go to that museum often so I instantly recognized the picture
I recently was in DC with my fiancée roaming around the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History... and my fiancé's first sentence was "Lindsay Nicole... would be... stoked"
The Shoebill is officially my favorite Bird. Dinosaur for real!
I feel that the Shoebill may have lost a few IQ points that would have been essential to, say, a T-Rex :P
Shoebill Stork one of the best birds fr.
Birds are funny :)
Amen to that! Looks like a Jurassic park understudy but it's friendly to people who bow to it!!❤

A two-headed snake is a basically like a pair of scissors. There's two of them, but they're always together, so they get treated as one object. But a "pair of scissors" is still singular.
Two heads, 2 minds, two individuals no exceptions. You need a pair of conjoined twins and you will never make The mistake of thinking a shared body means a single individual ever again.
Look at them lesbians
They're scissoring
@@darcieclements4880 Was about to say, it depends on the 'type' of two headed snake. But the one on her leg is two fully separate heads and necks a bit as well. So three snakes.
Love the fact you showed a picture of a tree shrew for Eutherians. I used to work with tree shrews way back when they were still considered prototypical primates; they were the subjects for my PhD dissertation.
Each "not jurassic" was like knife in my heart
24:04 Its a Liopleurodon, Charlie! A magical Liopleurodooooon- hes gonna show us the waaaay~ (no clue if its actually the same creature and she just used a different pronunciation or not- but I had to)

It *is* the same creature! Lindsay's using the correct pronunciation here. Pink and Blue are not trustworthy purveyors of accurate paleontological knowledge! Shocking, I know.

Hey Lindsay...
Ever though about combining your love for metal and Zoology?
You could go alternative metal with an invertebrate song: "I shit out my face"
Or power metal for a titanoboa song: "I'll swallow you whole"
Or death metal for a Permian extinction song: "Oh fuck ... everything's Dead!"
I think a cool band name would be lidseichthis, Instranocevia, or the euripyerids. Don't u think? 🤔
Dude! Power metal titanboa just reminds me of "Powersnake" by Brothers of Metal.

The Reign of the Tyrant Lizard King is top notch inspirational material for Power Metal or In the forest of the Terror Lizards for something more Black Metal.

OMFG Lindsay, I'm curently binging your videos. And as a biologist i just have to say DAAAAAMN you have really good info. TYSM for your divulging service :))))
2:55 I love that there is a petrified forest in the middle of Washington State that had Ginkgo in it! Tells us a ton about the past!
We got a greeting, ear wiggling, explanation of ear wiggling, and the video starting in 30 seconds. Gave me whiplash
Although she raised a more pressing question: WHY TF were our ancestors wiggling their ears all the time? 💀

Ginkos are my favourite tree, i have a tattoo of some leaves and I always go on about how cool they are and where they come from at every chance i get! Glad you covered them with such enthusiasm!
Thanks for another great video! You never miss FR
thank you for watching and for your support!!! :’)
Awesome video, as always. I am enthralled by the ginkgo tree and hope you bring up magnolias in your cretaceous video in the future, too. They're such a fun plant.
Loving my t-shirt and hat, too. Happy to direct people to your channel when they ask about it. Excited to see what else you make in the future: both content and apparel.
6:14 I have a feeling one of the things you could go into detail on is how termites are just really specialised eusocial cockroaches
Eating my dino nuggies while watching this is the perfect evening
Heck yeah, dino nuggies!!!
I got way too excited every time Borealopelta showed up onscreen for a moment. It's just SUCH a cool fossil and even more mindblowing in person. There's even a cast of the head you can touch. My second favourite fossil after the Berlin archeaopteryx.
Someone needs to make an edit of all the times she talks about caecilians but without any of the context so it sounds like it's about weird shit Sicillians do
I second this! I would send it to my Sicilian friend
your story telling is getting better and better... great video! thanks!
Everytime I hear the Spore music in the background I kick my feet a little, it fits so perfectly. Your videos are amazing btw. I'm always looking forward to your next project!
So in the Jurassic Park novel it is pointed out that most of the dinosaurs are from the Cretaceous era, John Hammond replies that the marketing guys felt Jurassic Park was more catchy..
The novels also describe Dilophosaurus as being it's actual size, not the dinky little.guy from the movies
Dollocaris looks like the grumpy robot sidekick to an incompetent villain in a cartoon. The type who's jaded and too smart to be playing second fiddle to some buffoon.
They look like cousins of Kastelan robots from WH40k :D
Botanist here! Thank you for mentioning Ginko!!!
Gingkos are my favourite trees!! There's three of them in my town and they are gorgeous in the fall
I can't wait!
We love ginkos around here!
0:15 I can wiggle mine too but I can wiggle them independently of each other too
I can wiggle both but not independently. I guess that makes you our leader.
I've never seen someone who can wiggle with their ears independently wow
I can't wiggle mine at all. ig you're more powerful than me, do i give you an offering or something?
I can’t wiggle my ears, but I can make my eyes oscillate rapidly from side to side. I have no idea why it’s a thing, but apparently it is.
I can move my eyes independently of each other. Does that help? Or just creepy?
Your hard work has definitely paid off. Your video is fantastic as always.
Been watching some of your vids for a minute but the Zoo Tycoon music got me, now I'm subscribed in the name of nostalgia and quality science content. Keep it up!
LINDSAY!! I had a rough day dealing with my Nana and Nonno, I’m more than happy to see this. Thanks for doing what your doing, it’s awesome.
That Zoo Tycoon music in the background brought back the best memories ever!!!
I thought I recognised it. Now I wish I could play that game again...
1. As a girly who JUST got a floral sleeve with Ginkgo leaves incorporated I 10^100 share your enthusiasm for the species. 2. Please Please Please speak about ammolite whenever you revisit the ammonite topic. I've started a collection of gems and fossils because I am a nerd.
I just learned something new, those stones are freaking awesome!!!
I am here for all the love of ginkgo trees. One of my favorite plants in the world, especially in the fall! As always, excellent and enjoyable video, keep it up!
The whole “Jurassic Park make people think T-Rex isn’t from the Cretaceous!!!” Has always been so odd to me, In at least the first movie MOST creatures not from the Jurassic are labeled as such. Like it never tries to mislead people all it does is trust people to know.
CinemaWins also pointed out that there is dialogue showing the writers (and most of the characters) know the animals are from all different periods. Jurassic Park was the name Hammond chose (which does kind of tie in with his "all sparkle and little substance")
The issue is most people didn't even watch the original movie, and just associate the "Jurassic" in the title with the skeleton T. rex in the logo. And maybe around 95% of people who _did_ watch the movie hyper skippa skippa'd the opening up until the T. rex break-out scene.
Unfortunately people are silly.
There are a lot of stupid people in the world... You'd be surprised how easily mislead some people can become, even when something is seemingly obvious and isn't meant to be taken as a reality. It's actually quite scary how easily people believe things that aren't factual or don't have the common sense to just look things up and educate themselves.
This channel is such a breath of fresh air. The information is always interesting, and well presented, but what makes it stand apart is how you put personality into it. A channel that either teaches me insanely interesting stuff or makes me laugh 100% of the way through is just perfect! Keep it up
Just wanted to share a little insect interaction I had today. I was sitting on a park bench near the river in my town when a bumblebee smacked into the ground in front of me. Like, it sounded like someone had thrown a pebble at the sidewalk. It seemed mostly okay, but was having a hard time turning itself over. So, I took off my flip flop to help it flip over, and instead, it latched onto my shoe and wouldn't let go. I ended up sitting on the bench with the bumblebee resting on my shoe beside me for a good half an hour before I had to leave. Poor little guy did not want me to move it onto a leaf nearby and kept clinging to whatever I tried to push it off with. I didn't have any way to give it water if it was thirsty, so I hope it was just tired and needed a rest. Bumblebees are such chill little dudes; I really hope that bee was okay.
Precious little creature.
And so was the bee. :)
I recently found a whole, completely intact dead bumble bee. It’s getting colder in my area so I think the little thing just naturally reached the end of their journey. But I’d almost never seen such a thing before.
very minor correction: I'm pretty sure spinophorosaurus having tail spikes is an inaccuracy, the spikes were found to have come from a nearby stegosaur instead.
shunosaurus did have it though
Lindsay I have been a fan of you forever now...after your collabs with Shark Bytes and Mamadou...DinoFax was literally icing on the cake...THANK YOU for you...never stop
I think the two headed snake would be considered two snakes. Two heads=two brains=two individuals. 🐍🐍
Agreed (also fish section was neat AF)
I disagree because the name itself is singular; two-headed snake indicates a single organism, therefore it cannot be counted as two snakes.
@aegresen conjoined twins are a thing and they are two individuals. Just because they are called two headed doesn't mean it is only the head that is duplicated. But even if it was just the heads that were duplicated spent mean it is one individual, they still have two brains which is two separate thought processes.
I strongly agree. We would never consider conjoined humans to be one person if they had two mines we would consider them to be individuals that are unfortunately stuck together. Now if the twinning is in the body part and there's only one head then that's one individual.
@@aegresenI think what you're really saying is that two-headed snake is a derogatory term and that it should be a one bodied pair of snakes. Or perhaps we should just call them conjoined twin snakes. After all, calling conjoined twin humans a two-headed human is incredibly rude.
Fun fact: there's evidence that gymnosperms also used insect pollination as far back as the triassic before angiosperms made that lifestyle their personality.
Temnospondyls were still around though, they wouldn't go extinct till 120 mya with koolasuchus. Shame though, I wish we stil, had them.
That artwork of the stegosaurid with the blue mini dinos living between its playes is so good.
Chilesaurus shoutout, I love a good old fashioned what-the-fuck, reminds us to stay humble.

I absolutely adore your speaking style and sense of humor. Thank you for your hard work!
Great series! The pacing is so engaging, love the editing/micro memes!!
Another awesome video!! Startling my friend with the knowledge that all non-monotreme animals are technically therians, and the mental image of an armless snake flopping around on back legs, and the starkly brilliant idea that is getting zooted and watching birds dance, are just a few reasons I will watch every damn video you post.
Our Ash tree in the front of our house was a victim to Emerald Ash Borers (big sad, they're doing a number on ash trees across Canada), and the city went on a mission to get them cut down, but they also offered us new trees, from a small selection. I think we're the only one on the block to pick ginkos, but I'm glad we did. They're pretty as fuck!
They're fantastic street trees! When I worked at a nursery, I always talked them up. 😊
I can wiggle each ear independently from the other, and I can blow air out of my left eye socket. That second one has always concerned me a little.
i can do the eye thing with my right eye but not the ear thing

I can wiggle my ears too. When my kids were younger, they would make me do it to show their friends that their mom was a "freak of nature." (Their words, specifically my oldest. Not mine😂) I remember how proud they each were when they figured out they could do it, too.
I love the energy and passion of all your videos. You can really tell how much you love this subject. If student had teacher that loved the subject they teach this much, I think a lot more people would enjoy learning

Literally waiting on this playlist for my Homebrew D&D campaign.
So curious what your campaign is going to be about
@TaterPotater if your genuinely asking I'll tell ya friend. It takes place on an island that is in the shape of a ships wheel (Helm). The Island is aptly named Dragon's Helm Island. Anyway there's a corrupt Mayor and secretly he's very powerful and very bad so when the party members attempt to beat him they are whisked away to the Cambrian period and have to make their way back to the Holocene by defeating monsters, solving riddles, completing puzzles, and surviving traps and dungeons. I'm tentatively calling it The Epoch of Dragon's Helm Island. I'm hoping it'll take players from Level 1 to about Level 16 or 17. But that's all I'm saying cause then if someone copies me it's not a plagiarism
I did design a campaign in the style of Dinotopia's book and Skull island an instead of monster had mesozoic and paleozoic creatures. They are way more interesting than many monsters that are just nonsensical and incoherent to create a living ecosystem.
