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.

@DangerDave-e7uThis dude is also hella weird.
@KingEirik7absolutely spot on....thank you....d
@DavidRussell-e1iListen to the Terrible Lizards podcast if you like the sound of this guy's voice.
@AndrewHelgeCoxI’m just glad people from Instagram comments haven’t made their way here.
Science is awesome and they make it out to be our fault that they can’t understand something so fascinating.
As someone who hasn't studied this. I think he's lying
@whitecloudmountainminnowpr635340:46 was someone having a bit of fun by putting a couple of people walking a dog on the beach with dinosaurs?
@bj6515We talk so little about what happened 20 or 30 thousands years ago, but soooo much about what “happened” hundreds of millions.
@RoylandLaraI haven't watched or read new scientist for years because it went down hill, but this guy was great
@monstrositylabsapparently he was there in the past to know what he's on about lol
@YourQualityFeathers, so many feathers
@kobiashimagooIf we could bring back dinosaurs, it would feed protein starving countries.
@BricksMason808What a horrible predatory world with these giant freaky lizards, running all about
@jt7273We humans do frequently fantasise about being the top of the tree😂.
For Sure with pollution and littering humans have no challengers.
The more pure oxygen the planet the bigger the animals get
@mikebragg5940so 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.
@acurarl9929I'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.
@IyetubeI love Hone's podcast Terrible Lizards! I hope everyone checks it out. His co-host Iszi is great too!
@sadieroboticsThe 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.
@drslothlehoff806Will 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,.
@zavatoneSIGH. This convinced me to subscribe to the new scientist. If you keep making videos like this, you deserve my sub.
@AlchemyOWT-Rex didn’t have feathers 🪶 boy
@Alaska-JackHas 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.
@shorttail9604Love at 34:50 when showing pictures of Spino, that one of the still images is from the video game Path of Titans.
@Greybush041Im 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?
@sarahbowen7721The passion is just dripping with every explanation. I'd love to be taught by this guy
@IhsahnÅkerfeldtThey are dinosaurs now, but we are then and im sick and tired beibg preached to by the death cult
@ACryin_ShameThere are many dinosaurs that are alive today. How weird are they?
@Dana5775Evolution has been repeatedly debunked on every level. The fact that people still believe this junk makes you the dinosaur 😅
@JBarbarosaevery time I go outside and throw peanuts to the crows... I know they'd rather rip my intestines out.
@tonyb8660i 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
@Madscots123Having the back of your head bitten off! That's got to hurt.
@MichaelDeBell-l3sbut 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?
@snarfbotSo satisfying to hear someone discuss the evidence without rushing to single simplistic conclusions.
@Alberto_PrenderghastFabulous simple logical statements to dismantle preconceptions.
