"Look at all the Aladars"

As a wise paleo nerd once said, "Talk dumb you get the thumb..."

Its crazy to think iguanadon lived from the late jurassic to the early cretaceous period. Also one of my favorite dinosaurs growing up it was if I remember correctly my third favorite right behind pachyrhinosaurus and my favorite dinosaur of all time therizenosaurus.

I've always thought of Iguanodon as the "thumbs up" dinosaur ; )

Iguanodon also had a prehensile pinky that acted much like our thumbs, and the middle three fingers were 'hooved,' to serve the animal when it went about on all fours. Good video, sir! You need many more subs.

The giant ground sloth was also a large herbivore that could walk on all fours but also rise up on two legs, along with a heavy tail, so maybe it occupied a similar niche.

Bernissart (Belgium), where Iguanodon fossiles were found, has changed a lot meanwhile. The seaside is now about 100 km away, there are no mountains (only hills) and no tropical forest either. The fossiles can be seen in a museum in Brussels.

“Act dumb, get the thumb.” - Iguanodon

With those spikes, it should've been called the Shankadon or Stabasaurus

great video man . Iguanodon was one of my favorite dinosaurs even tho its very overlooked

Iguanadons are 100% certified British dinosaur. You mess with one? Boom! you get shank.

The multi - tool of the dinosaur world😃.As a child dinosaur nerd in the 70''s the iguanadon was a top 5er for me,lol.Great vid'👍🇬🇧

Has anyone considered the thumb spikes may have been used to access termite nests, or something similar? It reminds me a bit of Anteater claws.

Iguanodon was certainly an accomplished dinosaur; it’s got so much history behind it.

as an Iguanodon i approve this video!

Nice video! I didn't know Iguanodon was not a hadrosaur. The more you know.

Thank you very much for creating & sharing this!

Iguanodons were probably blinding predators with those thumb spikes

The way these animals were depicted in Walking with Dinosaurs was down right CRIMINAL! As big as they were I highly doubt the Utahraptor being able to take down a bull Iguanodon 😒

People have to remember our knowledge of Dinosaurs was quite limited during those early years of paleontology and we didn't know these giant creatures existed till a doctor and his wife found those first Iguanodon fossils lying on the side of a road though they were only fragmentary accept for the teeth and that was why the first Iguanodons were thought to be giant lizards resembling the iguanas and the same with the first Megalosaurus fossils and with the first depictions of Iguanodons they were made to look like oversized Iguanas and that thumb spike was put on the nose it was only later when more complete skeletons were discovered that changed people's views of this iconic dinosaur and that we didn't know they were related to birds yet which is why the earliest drawings of dinosaurs showed them as lumbering giants that dragged they're tails on the ground and the Tyrannosaurus Rex was originally depicted standing upright till it was redone the way we see it now since it was discovered if the T-Rex walked like that it would just be breaking it's own back and that people now know dinosaurs were caring nurturing parents that looked after their young including the predatory dinosaurs since the discoveries of fossilized bone beds containing predatory dinosaurs of all ages from babies upto full grown adults so for plant eating dinosaurs imagine it one T-Rex is bad enough but a pack of them is every dinosaurs worst nightmare.

“Talk dumb, you get the *thumb*”

One of my favorite Ark tames.

0:00~0:09 My childhood is back. #WalkingwithDinosaurs

You a og when you get built in pocket knives in your thumbs

This dinosaur is the embodiment of that thumb guy from Ratatouille

Me: Gives thumbs up. Iguanodon: THEEZ R THUMBS. U BEEN THUMBERSTRUCK !!

If we compare non-avian dinosaurs to birds then the iguanadon’s thumb spikes would be equivalent to a turkey’s spurs.

Ahh the Iguanodon, the dino that kills others by giving them a thumbs up👍

Incredible that scientists still don't know that Iguanodons used their thumbs to hitch rides.

Goat dinosaur forreals 🔥🔥

You used the scene where Kron used his thumb spike to slash Aladar’s chest

until i found out more about carnotauras, iguadon was my fav dinosaur, its still up there but with others now ive learned about more dinos, Carno, theri, spino and iguadon are my top favs XD

Why wasn’t Iguanodon in Jurassic Park (1993)⁉️

Looking at my mountain witch is my back yard and I'm having a hard time trying to see a bus sized anything running through it....😂😂😂

We now know the origins of the ancient "thumb wars".

It was utilized to forage 🌴

I is for Iguanodon and insect.

I've read that their theorized to have targeted the eyes with the spikes whenever they used them on a predator. Stabbed their eyes out and ran off lol.

Successful indeed.

I believe if the earth never had the fire ball and come to destroy everything I believe iguanodon would've still be here living til this day

"I like tortles!"

Just look at those HANDS

So... what if, it switched to biped and then used the spikes to hold on to a tree while eating the leaves?

Thumbnail looks like "let it go bro he's not worth it c'mon we'll get kicked out"

Why is no one talking about the video game screen shot in the video

The 12 dinosaurs you just named. I do not even know how to pronounce them😅

I'm sorry desert's? What was it eating there? Can they tell me that? Sand? Rocks?help me here....

Larger than Edmontosaurus? Nah, dude. Giant Edmontos have weighed 15 tons or maybe even more. Making them them the 2nd largest and heaviest Hadrosaurs only behind Shantungosaurus. So a lot bigger than Iguanodon.

I wonder what would be able to outcompete the iquanadon? Maybe one of there descendants succeeded them

igunadon was smaller than Edmontosaurus though? 1:46

Iguanadon why u no look like Iguana

Iguanodon is one of my favorites. A very basic large dinosaur. Not a lot of charisma by steady and reliable.

Spinosaurus

Make sense why Ark Iguanodon fight back when get attacked by predator in wild instead run like Parasaurs

I bet many dinosaurs hopped around and others used saliva to poison large 🦕

Edmontosaurus was bigger

Their face resemble the modern horse

Rather big kangaroo?

I know this is two months late but iguanadon is restricted to the early cretaceous and all those iguanadon species are really other species of iguanadonts thought to be iguanadon even the original England species is now a nomen dubeon but the remains are still valid as iguanadon but are asoseated to iguanadon b and if not they could represent iguanadon Seelyi is just not this one is universal accepted

What species of iguanodon lived in North American?

Can they nerf this in ark ?

I'm good till words like it's believed... they concluded...may suspect....on and on.... proposed! 😂 Not sure!

Euoplocephalus

Eh, no. You got it all wrong. For some 200 years, Iguanodon was used as a wastebasket taxon, with various Early Cretaceous ornithopod fossils (often fragmentary and undiagnostic ones) being lumped into it, but extensive research in the 2000s narrowed down its geographic and geological range to just the Barremian of England, Iberia, Germany, and Belgium, while the fossils from North America, Asia and even the older fossils from England (dating to the very start of the Cretaceous) were all reclassified as distinct iguanodont genera (Barilium, Dakotadon, Owenodon, etc.) There is no controversy about their classification, and you're just parroting an outdated notion about Iguanodon being widespread and highly successful. Ask any paleontologist and they'll say the same thing as me.

Built in prison shank

Bro bro keeps changing the dang thumbnail!

Act dumb, get the thumb. 😂

All just assumptions, not more! No one has been there at the time to watch them. It's just as simple as that. If you watch a video on Iguanodon in 5 years, everything assumed today will probably be maculature.

You mean "That Ruled Science"? Iguanodon, Megalosaurus and Hylaeosaurus were the 3 discovered dinosaurs in the history of palaeontology

We’ve been reconstructing these ancient animals based on their skeletons how about we reconstruct modern animal skeletons without the knowledge that we know their features and shape??? Would we be so accurate?? I bet not…

My concerns with fossils are that do we have any Desert Dwelling animals? Because every video I see, it's always... always water or near-water animals.
