I literally thought that's what it meant when I heard it on this video 😅

In german "Tor" means "Gate" So I thought that was in reference to the holes in it's frill

Same for me, "Toro" means Bull in Italian too so I just assumed this was the "bull lizard"

@@the.aardvark Yeah like the dinosaur carnotaurus - meat eating bull. Edit - Not the same spelling I know, but could be a different language, I'm not sure.

Bull is Taurus in latin not Toro.

And not some juvenile Triceratops We do found juvenile Torosaurus fossils quite recently

Possibly silly question here, as you may be someone who actually can answer it. I don't know if they've ever had a clear sex determination on any given Triceratops skeleton. Is it at all possible that with the striking similarities and territorial overlap that the Torosaurus is the male morphology of the Triceratops? That if the frills are primarily for display, the males would have focused on that in their development and the females would have retained vestigial frills that served as useful neck armour protecting the more valuable female members of the heard from direct predator attack? This is also assuming that either or both had harem structured herds similar to many modern grazers and browsers. This would also in some ways explain why there are so few Torosaurus' in ratio to Triceratops. Completely out there or somewhat possible?

@@ckl9390 Plausible enough that I've seen the theory put forward in books on dinosaurs, unsure if it got put forward in actual peer reviewed papers. Had less evidence in favor than the developmental/age theory, and got sidelined out as that one gathered actual supporting evidence. So not completely out there, but probably also wrong.

@@ckl9390 There is a paper that shows that Torosaurus and Triceratops skull sutures do not match. Even animals with extreme sexual dimorphism have matching sutures.

As everybody knows, going on a dig is the one thing that best qualifies someone to classify fossil.

i forgot all about my beloved Iguanodon!! thank you 1_of_a' ❤ my favorite not-asaur named species 😊

Plus it was named after the daughter of the guy who found it :)

Shall we talk abt hylaeosaurus?

Wait are you serious

@@john-ic5pz carno? maiasauras?all ceratops tht ends with ceratops? minmi? euplocephalus? polacanthus? (omg i swear i dont kniw how to spell their names) pyroraptor? Deinonychus? velociraptor? atrociraptor? dakotaraptor? all raptors? citipati? oviraptor?

I never knew this about Gettysburg, but I'm very glad I do now. This is extremely fascinating!

Thank you!

That's a great anecdote

Absolutely

just go to a website and use a random generator for dinosaurs. then boom, rabbithole

even esoteric dinosaurs probably get more attention than many lesser known prehistoric animals

@@protocetid Yes.

​@@protocetidWhat are esoteric dinosaurs?

Have you ever heard of "Tales of Kaimere"?

But Megaraptors have quite bad fossil records ( Only Maip has a slightly more complete fossil )

​@@alexanderstavroulakis335Kaimere enjoyer spotted.

I love the snarky commentary 😂

@@user-lq4ct6dr5m Maip’s honestly still p fragmentary. We have a good chunk of important bones of Australovenator tho, like at least a part of the skull, arms, and legs

Maybe noasaurids were that weird family that adapted to unoccupied niches, and adaptability is their thing?

​@@ckl9390Like tenrecs?

@@NitroIndigo Yes by the look of it. With the two groups being smaller and presumably able to adapt and evolve faster than their contemporaries both seem to have taken a foothold in most niches. They're both the "we fit everywhere" family of the day.

Literally was like where the hell did that come from loll

Amazing variety of Chinese fossils of early birds.

Same

i love those fluffy bois

@@paulashe61 there really is and they are actually younger than my favorite but much more recent. I love how much new data those other species have brought forth.

The sad reality of life is that it really only takes a few generations for you to be fully forgotten. All your work, everything. Think about how far back you truly know about your own family.

@@PR0T0_ One of my professors once said that history is like a waterfall going over a cliff and KNOWN history is what little amount we can collect in a bucket. That’s why I love glimpses into the lives of ordinary people in history, y’know?

just imagine how many thousands, if not millions, of species of dinosaurs that have never been discovered. Even these underloved dinosaurs are lucky in that we know they existed.

no they dont lol, fuck torosaurus

What does petrified wood have to do with fossils of animals, I really don't get this comment

@@originalketchup7498 Bruhthkayosaurus may or may not actually be a petrified tree due to such limited information on its holotype which has since disintegrated.

It most definitely was a tree. people just wanna cope about the fact that dinosaurs didn’t grow larger than blue whales

​@@Oinker-SploinkerWe don't give a shit about that.

@@Oinker-SploinkerEh recent analysis of the photographic evidence shows that it probably wasn’t a tree. Keep in mind with the given metrics of it’s supposed bones that the stupid “omg bigger than blue whale” sizes aren’t true. It likely matched Argentinosaurus’s size (making it the largest land animal alongside argent) but outside of generally being the same size as argent we can’t possibly know the details.

In this specific case, it's likely because the image everyone thinks of as Oviraptor is actually Citipati - Oviraptor is somewhat fragmentary while Citipati is comparatively complete, so most reconstructions fill in the gaps with material from the latter. Oviraptor's signature crest doesn't even belong to it haha

Just like giraffetitan and brachiosaurus

Oh wow, that’s super interesting. In a lot of ways my Dinosaur knowledge is pretty firmly stuck in the early 90s with the “Dinosaurs!”magazine series. I look forward to my children indignantly correcting me about certain things in future. :)

Fortnite kid

S N I F F

yes!!

I could watch 100 of these

I thought most of the dinosaurs in Ark were real dinosaurs.

Moschops and Lystrosaurus are synapsids, and there are other non-dinosaur prehistoric reptiles, too.

​@@OtakuUnitedStudiothey got a lot of variety. Crocodilomorphs, pterosaurs, mammals, giant arthropods.

Most people know agrentavis from ark, ark has done a good thing in educating people about underused dinosaurs, along with the many mods

As an Ark player as well, f@%&k the pego! 😡 But as someone who is very interested un dinos, it's an interesting little creature. And yes, Ark has taught me about little know animals like the chalicotherium. What a strange thing!

You are so brilliant @d3adfin

Yeah it’s a good channel

They look completely different, how someone can even think that they are the same species.

@@ExtremeMadnessX Juveniles have been known to look quite different than adults of the same species, leading to many debates and misclassifications, so it isn't that far-fetched, but I agree; to me they always looked different enough to be separate species. I'm no paleontologist, though.

@@shibolinemress8913 It's already known that other certopsians with holes in their frills have them since birth. Triceratops are one of few species that have solid frills without holes. It would be weird that they suddenly devolved holes that late in their live.

@@ExtremeMadnessX Good point, and so much the better!

​@@shibolinemress8913 I would be even more definitive than budget museum was in the video TBH - adding to what ExtremeMadnessX has already said, one of the main indicators of skeletal maturity (in dinosaurs especially but other tetrapods too) is the degree to which disparate bones have fused. So for an adult Triceratops, at the end of its life, to suddenly and rapidly reverse the natural aging process and grow massive holes in its frill defies fundamental biological principles and basic logic. On top of that, we do in fact have juvenile specimens of Torosaurus that, like the adults but unlike Triceratops of the same age, have holes in their frills. It's also worth noting that this notion was put forward by Jack Horner, a rather famous palaeontologist who is nowadays being recognised (largely correctly) as something of a contrarian jackass. Another of his old corkers is "T. rex was _actually_ a scavenger that never hunted". Tells you all you need to know really.

Why

Don't let a triceratops hear you say that.

The Jurassic Park mod is also cool. It has Ingen fanfic descriptions for the cloned creatures that fits the Rimworld setting and Gasosaurus that are explosive like the Boomalope

Ben G Thomas isn't really a more academic channel it just gives that impression. He is from a very wealthy family and has the funding to pay for better editing ect. This channel is the same enthusiasm and intelect but he's doing it all himself.

@@Totalinternalreflection From what I've seen Ben G Thomas packs significantly more information in his videos.

I discovered it in jurassic world the game (mobile), and it looks very interesting. Level 62 now and discovering more.

Nundasuchus is just all around an interesting animal, in games and in real life.

I was with him right up to that bit of unnecessary xenophobia. Must have something wrong with his own mouth, if he can't pronounce "strange" and "straight" properly.

@@Beedo_Sookcool He might be in the united states but he probably was not born in there. Also be careful because you might've made the same xenophobic remark he has.🤫

@@ponseth198 Live by the sword, die by the sword.

@Carcezz Great choice! They always get lost in that Quetzalcoatlus shadow.

I wonder if my favorite dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex, will be on the list

I wonder if my favorite dinosaur, shunosaurus will be on this list.

@@chinsaw2727 Ugh

Some omnivorous lizards are kinda like that, such as bearded dragons.

Yep. See the popularity of Therizinosaurs. Before we learned how weird they are, the biggest poster child in the group was Deinochierus, which got some attention for being a possible biggest "raptor-like" dino (though more commonly reconstructed as an ornithomimid, sometimes it got done as a dromeosaur - hey, they only had forelimbs)

@@Eserchie yeah I was thinking of Therizinosaurus too. I still remember I was really excited when I first learnt about it because it was a dinosaur that seemed so unlike any I'd seen before. I guess it just goes to show how effective the primary dinosaur forms were since they so rarely deviated from them.

​@@Eserchie Wording's a little unclear in your comment, so just thought I'd mention that Deinocheirus is, in fact, an ornithomimid and not a therizinosaurid. The arms are convergent, but the rest of its anatomy is not, which makes it all the more interesting.

@@armata_strigoi_0 Thank you for informing me of this - I have some new reading to do on Deinocheirus - the last time I had read anything on it we still only had the type specimen described, which only had the forelimbs, and it was being placed in the hot new clade. Oh wow, and it's not even new papers - over 15 years since basic reclassificatiion, and nearly 10 years since it became established beyond any reasonable debate.

There are many ugly creatures alive today too.

Okay, bigot.

Okay, bigot.

You're feeling is completely factual. We will never, ever know the complete and intact natural history of life on our planet. But the upside is that there's still so much out there to find - the pace of palaeontological discovery is only increasing.

@@armata_strigoi_0 Indeed, and this is a paleontological golden age!

hidden gem at 300k subs? I think of myself as properly rated lol. But I get where you're coming from and thanks for the support!

​🦁.@@TheBudgetMuseumhey mate, just found this video & might watch more of your content, I'm always in the mood for dinosaur content. Anyways, couldn't agree more about certain dinosaurs not getting enough love, that being said, can see why some of these animals fade into obscurity. Tho, don't think Torosaurus doesn't get any love at all (especially in comparison to the other II you've mentioned in this video), afterall, it's in both Jurassic World Evolution games, but personally can see why it & others don't get enough love & become obscure. The fact it was confused for Triceratops tells you all you need to know why this happens. The fact that some established dinosaurs are no longer dinosaurs or to have even existed at all. Examples being Troodon, really famous dinosaur at this point, it doesn't exist! All because some idiot based it's existence on a single tooth, than there's Gojirasuarus (Godzilla lizard), now it's apparantly a juvenile Ceolophysis or something else. This why myself sometimes hates paleontology, just when you think you understand something (based on what they've told you), they pull the rug from under ya & say no fuck it's not a dinosaur. So it doesn't give much incentive to want to look for more obscure species & maybe find a new favourite, when they can just tell you no it's not real lol. Gojirasuarus could've been my new favourite, now it doesn't exist, so can't pick it, it's really sad. Anyway, just thought to give my II cents on that, have a good day mate.
