    I love how nature can preserve events that happened millions of years ago through the archeological record, and then we can to a certain extent reimagine all of the fascinating histories that it has to tell! I don't know how this channel hasn't gotten more attention, I really like how you go to the places you're talking about, it really makes me feel like I'm watching a mini documentary. Just one thing, does anyone know the name of the song in the end, the one that plays during the summary of the facts at the end?

      Hi, thanks so much for your support - love the enthusiasm! All the music is written by us specifically for each video. The music for this episode was called "DinoDisco.mp3" but don't think that what you were asking for! I'll check with the composer in the morning and let you know if there were any songs that inspired that section. -James

      Looks like the whole piece was origional, although there is some inspiration from the Westworld and Jurassic Park themes. Good idea about uploading the tracks to a second channel, will have to consider it.

    I've been checking out more and more of your videos lately and loving all of them, but I think this one has amazed me the most. Something about presenting this as a detective's case and inferring what happened millions of years ago really clicked for me in a way that nothing else has so far. It is so awesome to imagine these magnificent creatures interacting, and unfortunate to never get to witness one. What a cool way to portray it.
    I also really liked the caramel slices analogy.

It’s like kurzgesagt veritasium, Tom Scott and all of the other brilliant science channels combined with enthusiasm and a tv documentary documentary distilled to their best form. I wish you all the best and hope that you can inspire new creators to rise to your level and exceed it. Because that is a future that will be great.

    Really well made and informative video! But rather the dinosaurs being identified as Brontosaurus and Tarbosaurus (neither of which lived in Australia and in completely separate eras), they likely belonged to species belonging to unique families native to early Cretaceous Australia. Namely megaraptoroid theropods and titanosaurian sauropods.

    So, is it possible that the scale of the footprints got skewed overtime as well, due to the pressure of the upper layers? Which means that the size of the footprints might have not been accurate to the actual size of the dinosaurs. Is it possible?

      @ratreptile 3 года назад +2

      Birds are dinosaurs and many of them tend to their young. It only makes sense that their ancestors did as well. Though it almost certainly differed from species to species. There has been findings of nonavian dinosaurs traveling in herds and dying in the same location and stuff like that. Also egg nests have been found were the eggs are layed out in circles for the mother or father to be in the middle and look after them. So its not a far stretch to imagine a lot of them being pretty good parents.
