@dinoguy128: There were a LOT of comments #dinotok #dinosaur #accuratedinosaurs

Amaia :

wait, birds are reptiles??

ColeB05 :

Mosasaurus are actually primates

opila bird stan :

I don't like how you can't evolve out of a classification because it means that everything on land is technically a fish

gojiraking🦖🐲69 :

Dinosaurs are reptiles but not every reptiles is a dinosaur

MuseWraith :

Fish. They're fish. We're all fish. Fish all the way down.

Fletch Ink :

It’s like saying humans are fish? Like technically we came from that line but we are not fish lol

user817579513297300 :

Here is why birds are NOT reptiles: I think this is misunderstanding. Saying that birds are dinosaurs is the same as saying that a mammoth is an elephant or a man is a monkey, but no, these are separate branches of evolution. The way of understanding you talk about is confusing, from that logic we can fill the blanks of evolution way more, and we will came to the result that every land reptile, mammal and bird is ancestor of some early amniotes, but the difference in between is HUGE, that stop us from classifying like that. We can call some of dinosaurs birds and we can call every dinosaur a reptile, but we can't call birds as reptiles, because they are just too different, we can say that birds came from reptiles, because it's true, but this can be a very complicated question calling them reptiles, they are heirs of archosaurus, but they are still too different from them, I can't answer most of questions fully, because that's still a topic that cause debates in paleontological community. I am curious of hearing why aren't mammals classified as amniotes, and why aren't archosaurus fish?

ZeonIQ :

Can u talk more phylogenetics? new to me and it seems interesting

mighty :

I find it funny that technically a hummingbird is a dinosaur

Bob :

so wait from my understanding of a question I've had for a while. reptiles and birds are both dinosaurs? Just evolved different ways or from different species within the clade?

JACO_DW🔑🌙 :

If dinosaurs are from the same group as reptiles where did lizards come from? Did they evolve from marine reptiles like plesiosaurs or mosasaurs?

Tyler Stone :

I just genuinely cannot fathom how this is such a hard concept to grasp. I try so patiently to explain it to people in the simplest way I can, and I swear they just refuse to understand it. Godspeed, my friend, and may your sanity survive the response to these videos 🫡

PHILLIP :

tuatara are dinosaurs that still exist today other than that birds may be the only dinosaurs

💙underdarcy❤️ :

i thought mosasaurus was a crocodilymorph or was that different marine reptiles

Idontcareaboutyourchildkaren :

So would we be reptiles then. sense we evolved from reptiles?

Vorlux55 :

Dinosaurs are not Lizards. All Lizards are Reptiles but not all Reptiles are Lizards

🦖Deep-fried ice🦕 :

Bro I just commented lizard 🦎 😭😭😭

the.walkers.are.watching :

How were dinosaurs reptiles if some of them most likely had feathers?

jayz0887 :

Birds are reptiles?? At least in like grade school we think of birds as separate from reptiles so I’m guessing that’s where a lot of misconception comes from

DBL64-01U Super Janemba :

Aren’t mosasaurs evolved from monitor lizard like reptiles

Purple Door :

so birds are reptiles?

G :

How do we know that dinos didn't have normal skin like birds instead of scaled ones like other reptiles?

⠀ :

I get that a species can't evolve out of a clade, so technically all birds are reptiles too, but then again by this logic all vertebrates are fish as well, yet we still make distinctions between what we call a mammal, a reptile or a fish so how does that work exactly?

PaleoPizzaPlus :

What do you mean…. Mosasaurus are actually bacteria 🦠
