The age of dinosaurs is not well known for the winters we have today! Plus, even plant eating dinosaurs need to have feathers just like mammals need fur to stay warm
Not entirely true, once an animal hits a certain size range, they're able to keep their body at a constant temperature, this is called Gigantothermy. It's suggested that Large dinosaurs were Gigantotherms, which is what allowed them to survive in colder months of their environment
We've kind of known that they lived in cold areas for a while now, even long before we had conclusive evidence that they had feathers. The first polar dinosaur was discovered in 1986.
True, Im curious how cold blooded reptiles could have survived blizzards and regulated their body temp. Impossible to see this happen today, their limbs shut down below 45 F
And people holler's out that the Jurassic Park franchise is inaccurate both this and Jurassic Park.

The first JP movie might have helped shift public perception of dinosaurs away from the old depiction of savage, slow, stupid lizards, but if anything, the new movies have backslid towards making them out to be monsters rather than animals.
I'm not sure if this is set in Prince Creek. I think it is set in the mountains nearby the creek. But even if it is, you're not gonna be seeing any swamps when they are frozen and buried over with snow. There is also a forest at the beginning of the video, and when out in the field, a forest is visible in the background in some shots.
Great series but they have went too far with the feather shit now, not every Dino needs to be a bird for god sake and science does not prove this in any way.
They go by evidence , direct or indirect. In this case probably indirect. There's another just as large theropod found with fluffy coat of feathers preserved in the fossils , which was also an arctic dinosaur. So probably this guy had some too.
Thwy put feathers on Tyrannosaurids, Paravians, and quills on a Ceratopsian, all things we have direct evidence for in the fossil record Reality doesn't really care about your feelings
@@TheCriticalCarcharodon you are basic, you have been told something and just blindly believe it now. Just like previously we were all told they didn't have them.
Snow is normal. It was less frequent during the time in which dinosaurs ruled the Earth, but polar regions and high altitude mountains would have occasionally seen snow fall, especially during the winters.
This is so absurd the whole thing looks surreal. The Antarctic, and even earth, was nothing like that when these animals roamed. The earth was VERY, VERY different even its gravity acceleration was different.
For one, this isn't the Antarctic, it's with in the mountains of Alaska, likely near the Prince Creek Formation, which is where these dinosaurs were discovered. Also, while the average temperature of the Earth was significantly warmer than it is today, that doesn't mean it never snowed. In polar regions or high altitude mountains, especially during the winter, it would have snowed A LOT. The mean average winter temperature of the Prince Creek Formation during the Late Cretaceous is estimated at 2 degrees C or lower. Up in the mountains, it would have been below freezing all winter.
