To be fair, the T-Rex's bad eye sight was a plot point in the Jurassic Park books due to them adding Frog DNA to fill in the DNA gaps. The movies just ignored this small detail and made it seem like T-Rex just naturally had bad eye sight based on movement.
You beat me to it. The books really nicely cleaned up all the science pretty well.
Frogs have bad eye sight, they just see lights and shadow shapes!
Doesnt the movie say something about frog dna in the slide show presentation?
@@sakran2975 yes but they don’t tie this in to T-Rex’s bad eyesight. In the Book, Dr Grant doesn’t expect T-Rex to have bad eyesight. Once he figures this out he speculates it’s due to the frog DNA being introduced. In the movie Dr. Grant acts like it’s natural for T-Rex to have bad eyesight.
I read somewhere before that the t rex actually had better eyesight than any other creature to ever known to exist
So chickens are dinos.. I'm eating dinosaurs??
Especially if you’re eating the Tyson Dino shaped chicken. We’ve come full circle
Basically yes... Modern day Birds are the direct descendents of dinosaurs... Even Jurassic Park said so... That dinos are birds & that the ppl at Jurassic Park mixed dino DNA 🧬 with frog 🐸 not birds
@@theamateurfurry4735lol
Lmao
If you drink water your drinking Dino piss
Dinosaurs may have sounded more like birds? Lol just imagine sitting in the countryside listening to the soothing sounds of a t-rex singing in the early morning sun xD
If you search for KZhead videos of what a cassowary sounds like it's very much what you would expect a large dinosaur to sound like. Very low pitched and gutteral, nothing like a typical bird song, and I imagine most dinosaurs were similar (aside from prehistoric birds and olther small theropods). Larger animals tend to make lower pitched noises (e.g. compare a house cat to a lion or tiger).
It was just a joke I didn’t really think a T. rex would sound like a singing bird. But to reply to your comment it is all speculation at the moment as to what a large dinosaur would have sounded like and there is very little evidence at the moment to give any kind of clear indication. So a cassowary is not really what “you’d expect a large dinosaur to sound like” it’s just one of the possibilities as it’s one of the closest related existing animals. A large dinosaur could have just as easily sounded like an elephant or something we just don’t know for sure.

We gotta appreciate the time traveler who took the time and dedication to film this video
Yup, also the astronaut that was there to film all the rover landings. And those who have traveled to all the celestial bodies and brought us documented filmed evidence of their landscapes. It's all CGI mixed with marvelous theories but yet they are taken as fact and taught that way in schools and universities. Theories build upon theories upon theories, but forced as facts.

@@jarosawjochemczak768fr
U kidding right?
we were not lied to. that's what the information that spread at that time, and was available. Science is always improving.
Yeah, That’s why SCIENCE exists. And nothing lasts forever. SCIENCE updates over time. So these aren’t lies. They were just “concepts, of dinosaurs”, until they check the truth.
Thanks for helping my brain with the confusion
It's better not to trust someone who says "most theropods could fly" and subsequently shows footage of pterosaurs, while also spouting headcanon theories that they "rose above the blast" and survived. The "blast" didn't make the dinosaurs go extinct, the gigatons of ash and dust that was ejected into the atmosphere did.
This is why that paleontologist and schools should kept saying this obvious corrections. The misconceptions are still around and still fooling almost all the people on the world.
No, you were lied to
It's also important to note that even if we found perfectly preserved Dinosaur DNA frozen within amber like they do in the Jurassic park movies - the actual half-life of animal DNA is only something like 500 years before it completely breaks down. So if you were to bring dinosaurs back today, you would either need to somehow completely recreate most (if not all) of their genetic code from scratch, or fill in a lot of the missing blanks with DNA from other similar creatures. But even then, they wouldn't really be dinosaurs… They’d effectively just be a weird chimera/mish-mash of other animals, or an entirely new species altogether.
They have found dinosaur bones with marrow still intact. That is not possible if they are truly millions of years old. Evolution is a lie.
so the DNA wouldn't be preserved in a substance like amber?
@DarkStormHero Yes, it could be. But that doesn't mean that the amber is millions of years old. Amber, even the hardest of it has a low shelf life compared to the millions of years theories that they have programed us with. If anything, fossils found in amber just prove that those species Did Not live "millions and millions" of years ago.
@@DarkStormHero not for over millions of year's, no.
Instead of this we better save the existing species including human also
Now I want a movie about dinosaurs that sound like little birds, eagles, and crows.
Yeah me too because that would make them even more dangerous because they would be more stealthy. T-Rex might sound like something harmless until all of a sudden it showed up in your area.
Speaking of, Megalodon never lived with dinosaurs. The largest shark I know that lived in the Late Cretaceous Period was the 15-foot Ginsu Shark
Yeah, they didn’t. They existed long after that period. 😊
Interesting.
The ginsu shark wasn't 15 foot. It was 6-8 metres so 20 to twenty six feet
The title of this video really irks me. I understand it’s dramatic for clickablity, but we weren’t LIED to. We were taught humanity’s best understanding based on the information we had at the time. Then, the information available to us grew, so our understandings changed, cause that’s how science works. It just takes a little while for new understandings to become mainstream as more people learn about the new information. Which is the point of this video, and that’s great, the title just irrationally annoys me.
Like, I can’t believe the ancient Greeks LIED to humanity about health and medicine! Surely they should’ve been aware of germs, viruses, and bacteria that can only be seen with a microscope.
Also this thumbnail is awful they put the eye where a fenestra is it looks like
It can be seen as lies if we are referring to Hollywood films and their depictions over the years.
Yeh, it seems if new facts are found, every thing we were taught before are then lies. World is getting stranger by the day.
Well, technically we were still lied to..
We make dinosaurs look so much like their skeletons. But animals don’t necessarily look like their skeletons. We don’t. Especially not in the face
Yes
🎯
It's absurdly hilarious how these "scientists" continually think all dinosaurs looked the same. There are only about 2100 bones of dinosaurs to date. Extremely limited and in some cases only a vertebrae found. Every animal now has it's distinctive look. Its just hilarious how these scientists think dinosaurs looked like smaller and bigger copies of each other. Probably because they think they were reptiles...which is also another baseless theory they came up with. We have no evidence that a T-Rex was a reptile...but it actually makes more logical sense it is a mammal.
Like hippo and rabbits look at their skeletons 😂
@@lexissmith2117 rabbit skeleton looks like a dinosaur lol
Looking at the brontosaurus, I can't help but wonder how long it takes for food to travel down its neck, let alone digest, given that they are herbivores, and those plant fibers have a tendency of getting stuck somewhere if not flushed down.
There are bigger sauropods than the brontosaurus.
No doubt they had huge amounts of vegetative matter in their digestive tract at all times. Just a constant flow - hundreds of pounds of leaves and ferns being churned into shit. You could probably track a migrating herd of them for hundreds of miles by the mountains of compost they left in their wake.
A lot of sauropods like the brontosaurus use to swallow large rocks which would stay in their guts and help them break down and digest food.
Is the brontosaurus back to being a legit species again?

There’s a minor correction with the Jurassic Park movie and novel. In both, the main character believed originally that T-Rex had poor eyesight, but learns that that is wrong.
The thing with the eyesight was due to them filling gaps in the DNA with frog DNA. That messed up the eye sight, and made them able to reproduce, because they changed sex.
It's amazing how many of these things I wondered about even as a teenager, and it took scientists this long to figure out and start discussing them officially. I used to wonder how they knew dinosaurs weren't warm-blooded, and how they knew all of them laid eggs. I used to wonder where the space was for muscles when they showed the bones next to an overlay of the creature with skin, and why none of them had fat or neck skin flaps like birds or lizards. I used to wonder how they knew they had all skin as opposed to something like fur (though, it turned out to be feathers). It was all of those things they shame you for wondering in school because it goes against the modern perception (a very "stay in the box" way to exploration, I suppose)--only to roll your eyes when they start coming up with those ideas themselves... Not sure if my teenage self would be excited or annoyed by scientists finally discussing it more.😑
As a 5 year old dinosaur enthusianst my mind was boggling these questions. I asked my mom "How could they know which color the dinosaurs were?" I did never get any answers from anyone back then, but now I finally got redemption

Crocodiles are not dinosaurs To be a dinosaur you have to have a few qualifications 1 You Have to be an archosaurs which eliminates everything except for crocodilians and pterosaurs 2 You have to be part of the Avemetatarsilia which eliminates crocs 3 In retrospect is that you have to be member of the dinosauria
Title states "Things You Were Lied to About Dinosaurs'' but uses the words probably, most likely, may have been. Speculation like all videos.
A lot of People Paleontology is speculation with facts backing it. It's hard to be 100% sure about many things.
It’s crazy how people really traveled back in time just to get video footage of these dinosaurs!😮
The Lost World book addresses the T-rex eye sight bit. It explains that its not that it cant see you if you stand still, its that like us its sight is drawn to movement during a hunt. the original Rex couldnt see them due to the storm, the lightning was throwing off its "night vision" and tge strong winds were making plenty of movement so a tiny human would be difficult to see, that is also debate that due to its altered genetics that Rexy may have simply had bad sight.
love your videos! always masterpieces 🔥
what if the whole earth was a living organism in itself
probably not and extremely unlikely chance of that being true, but still interesting to think about
Put down the weed.
This video is inaccurate to say the least. T-Rex didn't have feathers like this, especially not flight feathers as shown in the thumbnail.

If people believe the misconceptions then they’re only watching movies and not reading the available data about dinosaurs. That’s not the same as being lied too. Movies are always dramatized, it’s their job. No one believes the eyes thing for a T. rex, that idea is from a movie! 🤦🏻♂️
The available data about dinosaurs is guesswork. It can't be proved or disproved.
The t-rex is relatively acceptable, but the velociraptors in the Jurrassic Park movie are a LOT larger than the real ones. Even as a kid, I knew this, being a dino-fanatic. But hell, it's still an awesome movie.
@@HeathenDance the T. rex was portrayed as an apex predator but it’s more of a scavenger. It didn’t really actively hunt. Also it’s thought to have had feathers. Even though there’s the dramatization I actually love the Jurassic park series. Own all the movies and watch them a lot lol dinosaurs are just cool, what can anyone say about them really
That data is flawed the climate for instance during the t-rex time was very warm and the oxygen was higher and the moon was a lot closer so why in TF would a t rex be covered in feathers ? The wooly mammoths had hair because it was cold . These fools don't no anymore than we do
True, but we should also stop normalizing misinformation in entertainment. Sure, there has to be a degree of artistic freedom, but why ignore science when it doesn't affect the plot?
180 million years. That number is extremely humbling
Where did you get the video footage of these dinosaurs?

My debate with everyone is what if dinosaurs could talk? Or build structures?We don't know that because it's been millions of years, everytime I see these dinosaur movies I'm like it's cool and all but yea
I think the T-Rex sounded like a really big rooster when it was pissed off and had low frequency grunts like an elephant or lion that could be heard long distances when communicating.
Oml chicken not descendant of rex at all can we stop with this fricking stupid tread
@@pierre-samuelroux9364 Yes they are, it's been a scientific fact since 2003. T-Rex fossil was discovered with soft tissue intact, the 68-million-year fossil was compared to the DNA of 21 modern animal species…and the proteins found in the DNA of the T-Rex were most like those of the chicken. The chicken was the first bird to have its genome sequenced. This means that scientists found the particular order of their DNA, scientists confirmed that the chicken is currently the closest living relative to the T-Rex. Whales are related to pigs. You must be one of the YEC Christians who think evolution is fake and the T-rex was a passenger on Noah's Ark. Religion is the stupid trend that needs to fuckin' stop, it makes people stupid and you're Exhibit A.

Its just 3 minute. And the comment already 10? How?
A creature with a mass of 5 tonnes or more, a Trex for example, has a huge mass, or soundbox, like whales, that would amplify it. Subsonic would be logical. And as many current animals they would have a plethora of sounds for different expressions. A lion for example, roars that have a 5 mile reach and can purr (only on exhale and if thats a true puu is for another debate).
Yes, all birds are now categories as avian dinosaur a branch of therapod dinosaur, closer relative to Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus than to Triceratops but they are all closer to each other than to crocodiles or Pterosaurs.
Dinosaurs all green? Sheesh, what do you take us for...? "yawn"
Love what if videos❤❤❤🎉🎉
I bet deep down in the ocean where it's never been explored would have dinosaur fossils and somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and other places where its constantly icy
Well there are already quite a lot of fossils excavated in the Antarctica, Cryolophosaurus being the most well-known.
In the dark, all dinosaurs are gray.
cassowary's are distant relatives of the Corythoraptor (Core-e-tho-raptor)
Makes you think what we as a human race will evolve into if we don't wipe ourselves out before.
So when did macro-evolution actually happen? Lies based on more lies. There is zero proof, no missing link. Only theories based on theories.
Compared to your older videos, these new videos give about as much effort as I do when I'm drunk on a Friday night and trying to score with a fat chick I met on bumble
“Errrmmm, like my Dude? Heckin dinosaurs? *SQWAH*” Yeah, I noticed too.
So a T.Rex had feathers, huh that’s really weird. I just can’t imagine it in my head because usually the smaller dinosaurs have feathers not the big ones.
T-Rex poop was the size of a minivan.
I've often wondered, when I was a teenager especially, how in the world could anyone possibly have known what these Dinos looked like based on bones? It's like finding an unfinished home that only has it's framing up and somehow that's enough information to tell us that it had green gables, yellow siding with a red brick trim and white window panes??? And how do we know T-Rex's had bad eye sight? It's all up for imagination is all I'm saying.
I've wondered as well. Great questions.
I'm so sick and tired of seeing people like this. Literally just research it. I'm not even gonna bother to reply to another dumb comment like this
Translation: I know nothing of science, will never bother to research, & remain in pereptual confusion (apart from the occasional dumbed down KZhead video). Despite this I will pretend that me and someone who actually dedicated decades of their lives to research and study this topic are on the same playing field becuase "it's all up for imagination".

As a Dinosaur expert, and I haven’t even watched the video, I can confirm this is bit misleading. I can tell straight away that the thumbnail dinosaur is AI made. 😬
I always though the skeleton construction of a T-Rex looks so wrong and his two digits hand had to been something else. It would make better sense if those were flightless wings
So you accept one side of theory and call the other a lie?! Okay you are lying!!

Thanks to my sister, who is interested in dinosaurs, I understood all these myths well. It’s somehow not right that pop culture has managed to irreparably distort the idea of dinosaurs among the vast majority of humanity. Not that much, but a lie is still a lie. Nowadays it is dangerous to trust anything.😑
Thanks a lot for the info!
Can you make a video on - What if every country was an island??
Actually, no one has the slightest idea what the dinosaurs actually looked like beyond their skeleton structure. There's no DNS, hair or tissue left to even know. So to say people lied about how the dinosaurs looked, are themselves lying because they have no idea what they looked like either & for all they know, the movie studios who created the looks of them could be spot on.
We do know how some looked. We have skin impressions of some that clearly show feathers, we even know the color of a few of them.

Pterosaurs aren't Dinosaurs, They're Reptiles, the surviving Dino group that evolved into the Birds are called the Maniraptora, the Feathered Theropod was yes true, but not all Some Theropods most likely had little to no feathers since if they were fully feathered their size would cause them to literally overheat to Death, also not all Dinosaurs had feathers, That was a Brachi from JP tho
Again. There is no evolution. Zero. No proof. And the fact that people believe such lies is mind blowing. Without proof, people still believe whatever they are told. Theories based on theories.
I remember watching a neighbor's pet chicken once and the alert, cold blooded way it bobbed its head and watched me reminded me of the T Rex from Jurassic Park.
