@Ditidos 11 ай бұрын

I would definetly say this channel is more advanced than most educational dinosaur channels I have found. I doubt a person who is just getting in can fully understand the episodes since they have a lot of technicisms in them. But it's one of my favourites precisely for this. There are very few, if at all, channels that get to this level of deepness in anatomy, ecology and reconstructions since they try to grab newer people. Not that that's bad, mind you, it's great those are the most common ones, but for a person who have read so much but is still unable to fully read the scientific literature on this completely these kinds of middlepoint channels are excelent.

@TheAtroxious 11 ай бұрын

I was just getting back into zoology and paleontology after being out of it for years when I first discovered this channel, and it really helped me brush up on my animal anatomy. I definitely did not understand everything, but the obvious passion behind these videos was incredibly inspiring, and gave me a basis to jump off of once I decided to take zoology seriously. Nothing wrong with being technical in my opinion. Exposure to new terms is the only way to learn said terms, and a lot of the terminology is explained quite well in my opinion. This channel is unparalleled when it comes to learning about animal anatomy in my experience.

@thdenwheja756 11 ай бұрын

It might have a bit to do with people not associating it with dinosaurs anymore. I'm all for historical accuracy, of course, but in the public conciousness, it may be fading the way it is because they're being reminded that, no, it didn't fight T. rex like those kids' toys make it look like it did, and since paleontology sci-comm is mostly Cretaceous dinosaurs anyways, the Paleozoic and large swathes of the Cenozoic are just kinda ignored.

@60degreelobwedge82 11 ай бұрын

It seems like dimetrodon has been replaced with spinosaurus in the public consciousness. The casual dinosaur fan can only love one sail-backed animal. Plesiosaurs are popular non dinosaurs too (and I love to see an episode on them) and thanks to Loch Ness they will never fade like dimetrodon.

@danieldover3745 11 ай бұрын

I think it's because people get that it's not a dinosaur, and therefore, is no longer worth attention, which is a shame, because the Permian was an amazing era, and Dimetrodon was a great way to introduce that conversation

That isnt your first dinosaur toy

@magentamoop 8 ай бұрын

I would LOVE a YDAW deep dive on the dinosaurs and non-dino-reptiles in the new Paleo Pines video game. They are obviously rounder and softer and cuter and rainbow colored but, all things considered, I was impressed with their representations compared to most toys.

I love this! What a great example about being humble about your knowledge (and that of… all science) and demonstrating openness to learn and change given new info or less dogmatic influence. Nerdy content with a wholesome message about the scientific method… what’s not to love. Also, that glow up though!

WOOO another YDAW! I love this channel. It combines my nerdy love of dinosaurs with my passionate obsession for things to be ACCURATE. Seriously. I'm that annoying girl in the room who has to speak up and go "that's wrong, wow that's not likely, it wasn't THAT big" etc etc. It drives my bf crazy lol

I love it when people do that -- I HATE not knowing something I think is right is wrong if it's really wrong! I used to always pipe up about inaccurate ideas other people had, on the assumption that they, too, would want to know the RIGHT information, but boy was I ever wrong. I try to keep my corrections to myself now, but sometimes I can't keep my big mouth shut & gotta bust out...

This channel has made me wonder what early tetrapods used their tails for. I read that salamanders use them for fat storage and display (among other things) and that seems like a good enough explanation for a basal function.

We (Bernd Wolterdesign, a company that mostly builds reconstructions of extinct animals for parks and museums) recently (this year, 2023) did a new reconstruction of _Dimetrodon_ . We consulted with Christian Kamerer (basal synapsid specialist) and he said the extraoral tissue would most likely follow the bony edges of the jaw rather closely, but be extneded enough to cover the teeth when the mouth is closed not unlike certain extant squamates and that truly extensive oral tissue of the mammalian sort would not have evolved until cynodonts. So the little step in the rostral end of the maxilla would be visible (but not quite as pronounced ) with the "lips" in place.

A dimetrodon once bit my grandma.

Did she time travel, or are you descended from one of Dimetrodon's prey species? Asking for a friend.

Was that before or after the reindeer incident?

I used to have that yellowy dimetrodon in with a set with Styrakosaurus, ankylosaurus etc when I was a kid. In fact I had two sets, so two pairs of each dino. I used to play football marbles with them. The Dimetrodon was the best at shooting as held upside down that stiff back sail could really flick a marble. It was like dino subuteo I guess.

Dimetrodon always has been and always will be the best dinosaur, no matter what its proper place in the evolutionary tree and time says. :P

@averytheaxolotl5689 11 ай бұрын

Something i would like to add is that it is somewhat plausible that Dimetrodon had whiskers or whisker like structures. I cant find the paper at this moment, but i will make a correction to this if/when i do

@tomatosoup44 11 ай бұрын

One small correction (I think, I'm not an expert) is that the two openings alluded by the term "diapsid" refer to the supratemporal fenestra and the lateral termporal fenestra and not to the lateral temporal fenestra and the antorbital fenestra. Synapsids lacked the supratemporal fenestra (as well as the antorbital fenestra).
