    12 thousand images per second?? That's garbage. Phantoms, same camera he has can do millions of frames a second, now that's phast! Also, I call bunk on T Rex having the highest bite force of any animal ever. What about Mosasaur? Or Megalodon? They are much larger than T Rex...

    How could random chance or change evolution in physical structure have developed so well in Rex’s skull?

    3:00 400kpsi is not force or weight, it is pressure. A little girl can get thousands of pounds per square inch of pressure by poking with a needle. Pressure is force divided by area. The point of a needle has very low area.

    "The penguins actually flap their wings like birds..." no way.. I wonder why that is.. hmm.. huh... penguin.. bird .. penguins.. birds.. nah I dunno.
  • My husband whenever he was an escalator operator worked at the phosphate mine in NC where we live. He dug up a prehistoric whale that was over 5million years old. I’ve got one of the vertebrae from the end of the tail section the smallest of the vertebrae and it’s as wide as a dinner plate around.
  • The showcase of various impressive large predators and then the deadliest predator of all, an average human just about 1.8m tall, it's quite crazy to think about it.

    When are you at the Smithsonian Institute going to give back for public display all the Sasquatch bodies you have been acquiring over the last century?

    I like how the T.Rex had really strong arms but never use it
  • I always picture T Rex covered in colourful, downy feathers, like the Chinese fossils recently discovered. T Rex would have been the fuzzy -wuzzy embodiment of terror.😊
  • Look what the bite simulator did. Wow, now I'm going to put my hand inside the jaws and point at what it just did to an armoured dinosaur πŸ¦• πŸ™„πŸ€¨πŸ«‘πŸ«£

    Why bringing back the mamoth?
    For humanity to enjoy a big mamoth mac with cheese?or just because we can? Leave creation of life to god,please.
  • I love watching and learning about dinosaurs, apex predators and giant anything. Awesome documentary.

    The inflection used in this narration style is on a level more suited to storybook reading to 4 year olds. It is low-brow and insulting. Come on…, Smithsonian!

    Paleontologists now think that T rex never met a Triceratops, as Trex was already extinct in the late Creataceous.
    And it's FRILL not SHEILD on Triceratops skull.

    Dude feel so bad for Crafty, Fir is just making him think he's crazy the entire time 🀣
  • 32:24 They're insanely dumb to be putting their arms in between those steel jaws instead of moving the jaws before inspecting, accidents happen due to mechanical error often.
  • The only way most land based giants could operate is if gravity was half what it is today.
