I'm just gonna tag this on here. Apparantly Kurzgesagt has some shady biases in some of their videos so don't believe everything they say. I don't know enough about it to say more so I recommend you look it up yourself. Something about them being heavily funded (sponsored) by primarily the same companies who's solutions to the problems in the video they often show in a favourable light or something. There are a few videos on yt about it

@@VitaeLibra honestly that sounds like a conspiracy theory without any proof.

@@nogoodgod4915 I really don't know enough about it to make a proper opinion. I just know that the video I saw made some good arguments as well as the feedback and criticism on that video being highly positive. It's not that Kurzgesagt videos are complete lies. One of the main points the video made was that when talking solutions it was for example less direct stuff like always including solutions that the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, one of their biggest sponsors, had invested in. Another one was that a lot of the sources they drew on tended to be from studies funded by their sponsors. Again, not necessarily lies but more subtle stuff. I'd still rather you check out that video rather than me repeating them based on memory. For the record I like Kurzgesagt as much as the next person. Watched almost all of their videos. I don't want it to be true and even if/though it is I'll continue watching their videos. My point is just to be critical and not to fall into the self reinforcing belief/trap that because you like them they must be speaking the absolute truth. I know it sucks to never have a safe space where you can let your guard down and if you want to continue watching them without worrying thrn do that. I'd simply recommend checking the very end of their video because they don't state outright when they are being sponsored (another move often considered shady if your content isn't being influenced by the sponsor). Even if Kurzgesagt is a perfectly good channel a few things they do really do look shady. Even if it's nothing. Sorry if it came across as conspiratorial. Not my intention to make up unfounded objections. I really am a fan of their work. Still am

Kurzgesagt funded by big capitalist for propaganda, but of course, simple minds love colorful animation not the truth, that is enough with them.

@@VitaeLibra They have always been open about who they get sponsored by. In fact they usually put the sponsors name dead center in the video. You watch one video and decide that now this channel that has been doing this for a decade is bs all of a sudden? Did you even do your own research or just take what this other video said as the truth? If you are so confident that Kurzgesagt lied to millions of people and showed them propaganda, how are you so sure that this video you watched isn't lying also? What if this other video lied? What if this other video mislead the viewers? You know there are people out there that make a living by doing rage-bait videos and "exposing" a 20M subscriber channel is exactly what will get them views and money from ads. Kurzgesagt has always been open to who their sponsors are, they have always cited their sources for the videos and they never tried to lie or "share propaganda" to anyone. They are a business and they do what any business does. You think Apple or Amazon are truthful and don't lie to people? You think Apple doesn't abuse 12 year olds in sweatshops to make their phones? You still buy them. Kurzgesagt makes incredibly well animated and researched videos and at the very least they actually do some good in this world by inspiring generations of people to become scientists or scientifically curious.

Same. It's amazing to think that these are the original inhabitants of earth. They're "Earthlings", not us.

@@wowandrss it’s quite frustrating to think that evolution reached nearly its peak 66 million years ago, and was brought back to an extremely low level, and it took 66 million years to get back to that level, but in a completely different field. Those respective fields being; immense strength both offensive and defensive for the dinosaurs, and hyperintelligence for primates. It was their planet and it was stolen from them.

​@@iwantmykidssusan4941Technically it wasn't immense strength for dinosaurs and intelligence for mammals. The majority of dinosaurs weren't big o strong, and many of them had a great intelligence level (we knew it thanks to our current scanning technology, despite the fact that we have still a lot to learn about them), while a lot of mammals are very big but they have a low IQ level. Evolution gives both qualities to both the families, simply it gives them to different species. Also... yes, this was their world, but if you think about it they too stole this world from the Permian creatures, that in their turn stole it to the amphibians, etc. This is how life works, and if it doesn't work in this way we wouldn't be here now

@@fabriziobiancucci7702 yeah those are natural causes, I was referring to the fact that nothing in evolution can help protect against a 1,000,000 ton rock falling on your head.

@@iwantmykidssusan4941 Technically it's not true. Evolution isn't a process that goes to biggest form, or more intelligent form. Evolution is just survival of the fittest. If a species isn't adapt to an enviroment, it dies. And asteroids are part of the environment. In fact, while many animal species died out in the KT event, many others didn't even notice the impact. That means they were more adapt for that event. So, evolution can protect you from asteroids. Oh, and also, the asteroid wasn't 1 million tons, it was at least 2 trillion tons

Thank you!

@@Koranos isn't this a re-upload

@@Koranos why do you only release content 3 times a year?

​​@@Vega_Sports it's not easy to animate and edit people have personal lifes too

Honesty, I prefer Giant Death Turkey TRex

T-rexes ancestors likely were giant vultures but once the T-rex reached a certain weight it lost it's feathers (in most places). It's believed that most of them still have a couple patches on them.

@@MaxSuc I think he is referring to the scavenger Vs hunter debate rather than "how much plumage an adult T-Rex had"

You haven't seen a bright side video on dinosaurs have you ? It's worse, sure there are some mistakes and outdated tropes here but it can be worse

@@above7793 considering Bright Side's video was uploaded years ago i expect more for a 'scientific' channel like this with the fact that it was uploaded not too long ago

It did have more mass. T-Rex was the largest predator of all- time

​@@chrismarkovich1675 land predator*

@@hex9077 thank you for corrected me…for the record I did mean “land predator” my bad lol 😂

Any age of humans is the age of the monsters lol

@@KristinkaAranova I mean, humans aren't exceptional by any metric in regards to that.

@@nickmalachai2227 Oh we absolutely are. We are the worst virus to ever inhabit this planet.

@@pdxcorgidad that attitude is unscientific puritan bullshit, frankly. Get better sources for scientific information than a bad guy speech in The Matrix. It is factual that humans are a significant mass extinction event, and it is factual that what we are doing is drastically reducing biodiversity and threatening to plunge the earth into an ecological disaster, but I will not tolerate turning an actual crisis into some "oh we were always evil so we can't do anything about it (except maybe all of us die off)" American Evangelical propaganda piece. We can coexist with the biosphere without harming it (and even benefitting it, as we are still a part of the ecosystem, and have been for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years). We can reduce and, in some cases, reverse the harm we've let our worse members do, and it will be hard, but we can make the world better. We've just got to organize, act, and care about our world, rather than give up and hide behind the convenient delusion of doomerism.

​@@KristinkaAranovaIf we are monsters, than any other creatures in the universe is a monster. We do exactly what other species do, the only difference is that bevause we are a lot and we have a great intelligence we do it on a large scale. Indeed, we are better than the other species, because at least we tried to change. For other species things like war, rape, killing and all the things that we consider crimes are the normality; at least we tried to stop them

Grasses started to appear in the late Cretaceous, although not nearly as spread as today. So grasses have been here for a lot more than 5 million years.

well that and like the 20 featherless raptors and the jurassic world mosa design being used, most of the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures are shown with inaccurate visuals

Yes, but we made a lot of mistakes last time and needed to fix it.

That pendulum changes every few months. Give it a few months and he will be accurate

Huh! Thank you. I learned something today.

Clarifaction: Grass did exist during the Cretaceous, but was far less common than it is today. We have fossilized evidence of grass in fossilized Titanosaur excrement, though, which means that it was a part of the diet of at least some plant-eating Dinosaurs by the end of the Cretaceous. It is true that grasslands, as a biome, did not exist during the Cretaceous, and that is a major issue in many depictions of Mesozoic ecosystems.

Are people done with commenting this yet?

Tf is that even supposed to mean? If you're talking about feathers, Tyrannosaurus, most likely didn't have feathers due to the mass and climate in which he lived. Although juveniles (most likely) had plumage that would become scarce, hair-like "feathers" in adults. About the fight thing, Tyrannosaurus (and any dinosaur for that matter) wasn't a monster. It was an animal. Of course fights between members of the same species would be inavitable, it would be rare and avoided. Why would they risk get injured for absolutely no reason?!

No.

Hell it was out of date when they released it.

birds evolved during the jurrassic long before the kt extinction.

"Big chickens" is more accurate.

Technically yes. Paleontologically talking, even birds are "reptiles". Indeed, paleontologically talking, all of us are fish

First off, they do. Second off this channel isn't like Kurzgesagt, hate to burst your bubble. Also quit bringing up Kurzgesagt, it's annoying.

Paleontologically talking, dinosaurs were reptiles. They are considered reptiles. Technically, paleontologically talking, even birds are "reptiles", since birds are dinosaurs and dinosaurs were reptiles. I know, it's difficult and complicated, but keep in mind that the classification of reptiles, birds, mammals and all the others is made with animals that exist today. But paleontologically speaking were is the transition between a reptile and a mammal? Dinosaurs weren't completely warm blooded, so we can't consider them birds, but they weren't completely cold blooded too, so what they are? Today we still consider them reptiles (that's why paleontologically talking birds are reptiles. But after all, plaeontologically talking, all of us are just fish)
