The Real Dinosaurs Were MUCH Weirder

Video Overview & Insights

Forget what you’ve seen in Jurassic Park: dinosaurs in real life were far more compelling, well adapted and intelligent than the movie monsters they are so often portrayed as. In this interview with renowned palaeontologist Dave Hone from Queen Mary University of London, we dive into the evidence revealing how dinosaurs and their contemporaries really behaved, exploring how iconic animals such as velociraptors, T. rex and Triceratops fought, hunted and raised their young. We also ask, was Spinosaurus truly aquatic? And how did pterosaurs, the extraordinary winged reptiles, fly?

Did velociraptors hunt in packs? Was Spinosaurus aquatic? How did pterosaurs fly? These are some of the most facinating questions in palaeontology, which Dave Hone discusses in this interview. Do you have a favourite dinosaur?

We’re in a golden age of discovery, says Hone, where new fossils and technologies such as CT scanning and AI-based analysis are rewriting the dinosaur story every year, revealing animals that were richer, stranger and more spectacular than we ever imagined.

00:00 Intro

01:41 Did Carnivorous Dinosaurs Hunt in Packs?

51:08 suuuurrreeee.... tell that to breathing living creatures and not some fossilised poop.😂

10:41 Why Juvenile Dinosaurs Lived in Groups

16:54 The Evidence for Tyrannosaurs Fighting

And you can prove all of this right?! Unless you're hundreds of Millions of years old and immortal and or have a Time machine that can bend time and manipulate gravity. All you B.S. ers can do is speculate and other than finding intact fossils and seeing the mechanics that even a low IQ person can state the obvious and you Nerds can do is speculate. Like that sec Offender Nail Dedirt Dyson talks all this bull💩 and he can't prove 90% of it.

22:35 Why Adaptations Might Evolve

30:11 Spinosaurus Was Not a Swimming Dinosaur

Sailfish have sails and swim. But they’re not massive

40:17 Could Pterosaurs Fly as Hatchlings?

47:32 Why Pterosaurs Had Head Crests

65 million years ago. We know almost nothing. Bones.

50:37 Pterosaurs Were Bigger, And Better, Than Birds

55:09 What’s Next in Palaeontology

The Dinosaurs were genetically furry, and would make wonderful domesticated pets in a healthier than they were originally permitted by nature without humans. T-Rex would be cute.

so let me get this right. You can tell an entire life style life’s with only what, 300 Dino’s ever unearthed bigger then say a bear. WTF YOU TALKN BOUT.

I'm just blown away by how much knowledge and thought has been put in to understand these prehistoric creatures. And this all comes from the mouth (and brain) of one man. Was a joy to listen to.

The title of the video suggests Dinosaurs are WEIRDER than we think. First thing the expert says is to consider them as living animals and not focus on the weirdness or size.

Will you stop using those useless arrows pointing to the actual dinosaur that we can very clearly see? We're not idiots. We can tell what the text pertains to,.

Has anyone brought forth the idea that maybe the large herbivores in these strange “pack hunting” death scenes went down due to natural gas ,which would have been odorless and tasteless, and the carnivores simply ran to the carcass to eat it only to find the same fate? I’m sure it has but just wanted to throw the idea out there.

Im only 10 minutes into this AMAZING interview ... and gotta say , I LOVE the enthusiasm and joy on Dave's voice and his energy talking and explaining something he loves so much ... thank you!!!

Also the examples and analogies using current time animals work great!!! Like with the lion hunting habits and how wildebeasts die in rivers translate wonderfully to dinosaurs and animals of that ancient time, you can't rush to assume anything based on a few phosyls remains

Great content, thank you very much, love from Argentina !!!

Having shown is a clip of an albatross soaring over the open ocean…Could pterosaurs have taken off from the water as the couldn’t have used their small hind limbs to propel them while their front limbs gave lift?

@tonyb8660

i have a random question that i wish i could ask David Hone maybe one day i will, but Spinosaurus from majority of sources say spino never really swam that much and mainly ate fish along river banks chest high bascialy. a crocodile like dinosaur was sarcosuchs that lived almost same time period maybe 2 million years apart from each other, but sarcosuchs as a very armoured back like its trying to defend from attacks above it rather than from side or below. could it be that spino hunted the local dino crocs aswell of that time period due to the dino crocs having all this extra armour on there back like there trying to defend from an attack from say a massive spinosaurus standing over the top them, as spinosaurus could more than likely snap that head and neck down really quickly to attack below it. but yea

but their feathers keep them warm so they are not without utility. what range of temperatures could these creatures tolerate what with their membranous wings and naked bodies?

So satisfying to hear someone discuss the evidence without rushing to single simplistic conclusions.
