Ok, if dinos were wiped out in a matter of hours or days how do we make sense of still having birds today which are technically dinosaurs? Or am I not understanding the parameters to technically be a dinosaur.

Ein sehr netter mann
He talked about birds, wish someone mentioned crocs or gators or komodo dragons.
How did the tyrannosaurus sleep?
Any way he wanted to.
I did not realize that a pterodactyl is not a dinosaur. 🤔 BRB gotta web search
“Why did the early mammals and birds not become extinct” There is also some speculation that mammals survived because they could chew their food. It’s a complex thing to do, but it breaks up what food you can find (in the decade long winter that foolowed the impact) much more effectively than the dinosaur “Rip it off and swallow” technique would have. Given the lack of food an omniverous diet combined with chewing food well could easily convey a survival advantage when everything still alive is working on the same scraps …
It’s probably no coincidence that mammals and rhynchocephalians came through pretty well but everything that was big (and needed considerable food as a result) or that was unable to chew pretty much died out.
8:46 that handle name is crazy lol
He’s a professional. The way he read off Harry_Butt Cheeks and kept on going… lol
Did tjey really find Dr Seuss?
Thank you Dr You are a fountain of information, I enjoy learning.
Bravo!!
Thank you for almost 16 full minutes of pure curiosity and knowledge. I could listen to hours and hours of this and I wouldn’t get tired
I put this on to play in the background and just ended up watching all of it. It was interesting.
When talking about what jurassic park movie was get wrong esteemed paleontologist forgot to mention that, as we know now, almost all dinosaurs had feathers.
🙄
That question about the asteroid… Bruh…
Whoever selected these questions needs to be fired immediately… What’s some uneducated absolutely illiterate trashoids provided these thoughts abortions?!!!
“Fossils aren’t real”
Meanwhile humans having a skeleton, elephants having it too, and it happens when there is no organs left after we go extinct
I’m gonna get hammered, but I don’t buy the asteroid theory .
