The battle still rages on for the title of the largest dinosaur to walk the Earth. As more time passes, we uncover more evidence of these prehistoric giants. And we're not talking about just the plant eaters, but the meat-eating dinosaurs too.
Just how big were the mightiest sauropods, and could these giants really have fallen prey to the ferocious meat-eaters during their time? Could the mighty Giganotosaurus, or the huge and scary Spinosaurus, defeat a Tyrannosaurus-rex in battle? And could the T-Rex have been 70% larger than previously thought?
If you love dinosaurs, then get ready to find out the answers to this and more.

Got to give mad props to the guy who always gives himself up to measure himself against a dinosaur.
That guy is a character in the videogame Phasmophobia!!
Real chad
When he takes on a banana he'll have my respect.
Dinosaurs may need a human for scale, but humans will always need a banana for scale
We also should give mad respect to the film crew who went back in time to record the dinosaurs
None of these are scarier than giant insects.
Yeh or the titanaboa 🐍
What?
Giant spider??? No thanks 😂
The faces alone, I mean, rl nightmare show.
Insect aliens would suck so bad. I simply don’t want them here they may be perfectly good bugs.
52:38 hearing the fact that sperm whales can hold their breath for over an hour was impressive until I learned about the loggerhead sea turtle, which has been documented going without air for over 10 hours. The ocean is crazy
Crazy and polluted
@@undrwatropium3724 mostly by India and China
There’s crazier rock fish can do it for a day
Sperm whales dive up to 90 minutes and 2,250 metres at those depths their lungs collaspe since the pressure is about 200 atmospheres. So the whale can stay underwater longer if it wasn't swimming and diving that deep.
land galopogos isle turtles tend to pass out with heads in water holding there breath for hours. :)
its really difficult to find good dinosaur documentary’s/videos that align with all the modern theories we know of i actually enjoyed watching this :)
Watch "your dinosaurs are wrong". you're welcome.
Excellent documentary. It moves a little fast but the amount of information contained within is fantastic
Tiny Bug Slayer is one of the most bad ass names I've ever heard for a small reptile
🤏🐛🤘🏻
sounds like a great name for a band lol
Mother nature got really creative in beginning 😂
15:00 "Talons 5 to 6 metres long"?! You might wanna check on that... 😂
The narrator just reads anything put in front of him - could be a declaration of war or a porn script.
Dude I know... I had to give an updated version of a few of this guys "facts" in my own comment. I know I'm being a karen right now, but seriously. I loved the video concept, I just couldn't understand how he got so many things so incredibly wrong... The t-rex being 40 feet tall and running at speeds of 50mph just stunned me into complete shock. Like how do you not know that's wrong? We have entire museums and dictionaries and google at the tip of our fingers, granted with a decent Wi-Fi connection, and it's incredibly difficult to understand the ignorance. Sorry for rambling, but this is one of the first comments I saw that made note of the incorrect information of the video.
LOL. I previously thought Edward Scissorhands had it rough! I don't think I will grumble about trimming my pet's nails anymore.
There was also a singing dinosaur. Few people know but it was called Little Richardasaurus. It sang songs like "Good Gracious, It's The Cretaceous!" and other early popular tunes of his day.

This was corny yet so funny😂
@ 47:05 From what i understand Megaladon was not actually related to the Great White. Megalodon is actually from a different lineage of shark of which megalodon was the last member. Megalodon's closest living relative is the actually the Shortfin Mako Shark.
Really enjoyed watching this intriguing documentary. Thanks for your hard work putting it together and sharing. Well done👍🏼🦕 God bless you🙏🏼
I like how a lot of models has been taken from the game Ark. Thats the reason why I now remember most of their names and is eager to learn more about them.
First I've heard that T-rex may have been smart as a crow .Always figured they were like a lizard or frog brain
It's impossible to correctly estimate the intelligence of an extinct animal, but we have some ways. And thanks to our modern technology we are able to undrrstand that t-rex was quite smart
just imagine it as smart as some Birds. predatory Birds. even herbivore Birds are super smart. we know now a lot more about them then we knew back when our imagination was defined by that Dinosaurs are giant lizards idea.
Interesting that, dinosaurs started very small and returned to being very small in the form of birds.
I was disappointed when you stated the alligators and Crocodiles were dinosaurs. But I stayed anyway. The show was excellent. I'm subscribing now. Thank You!
The claims in this video about the T-Rex are fascinating. I’m sure I’m not the only one who grew up hearing that their brains were tiny, and that their vision was so poor that merely standing still could keep you safe from them.
@@mokfishing the bit about Jurassic park pushing the theory that their eyesight is actually surprising. The T-Rex would have been even scarier if it could not only smell but see extremely well.
@@Thumbsdwn With eyes the size of tennis balls, they had the eyesight similar to modern day eagles. and could identify smells for over kilometers. They were the most advanced killers the earth has ever seen, and could only be stopped by an asteroid. if they thought you were a prey, you were.
@@FiryaFYIso bad ass
@@FiryaFYIdon't they exceed birds of prey in eyesight?
@@overheaven8684 we don't have an eye to examine. But the estimates show they could see 5-6 kilometers. While we on the subject, the could smell better then most if not all dogs, and the part they probably were most lacking in was hearing, which is pretty bad. HOWEVER, T-rex could most likely scense vibrations like elephents do. And if a pray was moving 4 kilometers away, they felt it. Im not kidding, we know the Rex is popular because of Jurrasic park, but the T-Rex was the best hunter the world has ever seen.
Fascinating, informative and entertaining! Great graphics and sound quality! new subscriber here!
Alot of it was bad research and not accurate
I just found your channel excellent please keep up the making amazing videos and you now have a subscriber for life
Imagine all the prehistoric animals that died and didn’t leave a fossil record!
Most die leaving no fossils.
This is so incredibly detailed, super helpful for me to re-remember stuff. 🔥🦖🦕🐢🐦
unfortunately a lot of it is wrong.
Fossils discovered in the 1970's were destroyed during WWII? 1:47 I didn't know the Germans built a time machine. Also I never would have guessed that Supersaurus was spelled Seismosaurus. 1:30
I listened to that twice thinking I must've misunderstood. Honestly, that's such a confusing mistake that I can't watch anymore.
Noticed that too. Not going to watch a video if the makers themselves didn't even bother to watch it.
I think they mean that they were discovered in the 1970s. But when they did discover it they also discovered that they were damaged in ww2
Script written by AI
Keep in mind this is all guesswork
As long as the guess work is being done by experienced, educated, knowledgeable people in the proper field of study. What else do you expect exactly? Until we figure out time travel and can go back and get proof, we can only do the best we can with the circumstances we have.
The way you say Jigga-no-tisorrus instead of Gigantosaurus makes me feel like you'd heat up your food in a me-crow-wauvay instead of the microwave.
Gigantic is pronounced with a "j", it makes sense
jigga-what?
Its the proper pronunciation in the video
Excellent documentary, as usual, Thank you
So much speculation in this video. Makes me wonder how much of this video l can trust
Snakes are venomous not poisonous
Actually there’s one breed of snake that is both poisonous and venomous. Rhabdophis keelback snakes store the poison in their nuchal glands.
"huge dragonfly" looks remarkably like a giant millipede
1:20 "A lot of the fossils were found between the 1970s and the 1990s." 1:44 "Unfortunately, a lot of the fossils found back then were either lost, destroyed during World War 2 or the fossils simply disintegrated." So World War 2 happened afterwards? News to me.
Shout out to the brave cameraman for such crisp content 🔥🔥
FFS, these poxy "Cameraman" comments are cringe a.f.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM God bless you😊😅
Im so happy l found your Channel, l love everything documentary ❤🙏✌️👽
Was this video written by an AI? The narrator talks in circles and goes off on unrelated tangents.
1:30😂 Seismosaurus looks alot like Supersaurus 😂
at 14:57 you say "wingspan of up to 3 meters" then a couple seconds later "talons 5-6 meters long" ... how much else is incorrect??
I love this channel! ❤️
They also say Tyrannosaurus Rex had the largest brain of all dinosaurs and it’s eye were in the front of it’s head giving excellent vision in 3D like humans giving it a greater perception of depth than most large carnivores who’s eyes were on each side of it’s head like a horse or rabbit
Bro just said "Carnivores like horse and rabbit"
Carnivores have forward facing eyes. Herbivores have eyes on the sides of their skulls, ie horses and rabbits
I’m bro just cuz they eyes are on the side of its head doesn’t mean they couldn’t see in 3d. That’s fucking crazy to believe that. If they didn’t have 3d vision then how were they able to understand depth width height angles etc cuz all of that is in the 3rd dimension. They wouldn’t be able to notice that the tree is coming towards them or if something was turning or rolling moving a certain way cuz everything would’ve been viewed in a 2 or 1 dimensional way. Which would be a piece of paper or a flat object that moves left right up and down. Make it make sense bro
@jayw9992 as someone without depth perception, it is possible to navigate the world. As you say, everything is 2D but there are other clues I can use to determine distance. Think of the different tricks used in art to show depth in a piece of artwork. Farther items being smaller/darker, the placement of an object in relation to others. If one tree is in front of the other, we can infur that the tree in front is closer. My mind interprets those clues without me actively thinking it through because I've always viewed the world like this. It's not without its challenges but it's also not as life inhibiting as you say.
@@neonbootygoon4385 he meant that' some carnivores had eyes on the side which were traits of horse and rabbit
>but the majority of snakes are harmless unless they're *poisonous* or it's a constrictor. @16:02 Credibility instantly lost.
Haast eagle has 3 meter wingspan but 5-6 meter talons? Maybe it was supposed to say cm? Interesting video tho! Hard to imagine those talons being longer than the wingspan, and the picture didnt reflect that.
I love the music. I listened to this with my eyes closed while on mushrooms. It felt like i was traveling through the galaxy, lol.

Wow these animations are awesome 👌
Good work , very entertaining , Thankyou !
"Furthermore, the jaws of the Dunkleosteus could rapidly open very fast" Very nice tautology.
Fun video but has some issues. Fossils found in the 70s we're not destroyed in WWII. There are also numerous pronunciation problems, such ankylosaurus, not ankliosaurus.
Fun comment but it has some issues. You just repeated the same shit that like a dozen other people already pointed out before you.
Its popcorn time 🍿📽️🎥
Beautifull video, thanks.
“With talons 4-5 meters long” dude… that’s bigger than the eagles body 😂
literally just made a similar comment. Makes you wonder what other inconsistancies the editors missed. Like earlier they said "12 - 15 meters" but the text on the screen said "12 -5 meters"
its like the long gone Ohshit bird, it had 3" long legs and 6"long nuts and as it was landing it was heard to emit the sound OhShit Ohshit....
I can't get over the comically small arms of the T-Rex compared to some other dinosaurs ahahah
1:20 …new bones uncovered in the the great dinosaur renaissance from the 1970s to the 1990s 1:40 …sadly a lot of these were lost during WWII 🤨
Dunkie was half that size at best. While I'm sure you have read the papers, it came out roughly the same time as this video. Given editing time, probably months after you completed the taping, your audience may not have gotten the update. They overcalculated using land animal proportions (short explanation).
This comment needs more attention. Edited version of this doc, is also needed.
14:58 5-6 meters long?!?!?! Now those are some BIG TALONS!
1:30 like Ultrasaurus, Sizemasaurus, Supersaurus and the little-known Supersizemeasaurus.
So science found all these creatures in the fossil record? That's freaking insane
I’m a ark play which is basically a dinosaur game so watching this video blows me away I never knew most of this stuff
Another high-production, well-researched masterpiece by Destiny. No but fr get off the platform and leave the science communication to the people that actually care about being right.
It was also a much higher amount of oxygen and shit like that in the air, so basically everything was bigger to “compensate”
To think, we ended up the top species on Earth. For now.
A miracale
The fact how no one is talking about deinosuchus lived during the time crocs walked on two feet and we never found deinosuchus legs 😳
What?
"When crocs walked on two feet" 🤡 what are you talking about buddy? Mark Zuckerberg?
@@AlejandroKirkisObeseBatrachopus grandis and Postosuchus were both bipedal crocodylomorphs. Maybe do your research first 🤡
@@AlejandroKirkisObese😆😆😆
It's those damn Neanderthals...they always found deinosuchus legs such a delicacy... now paleontologists can't find any.
in the first minutes is a mistake it says „ seismosauraus and supersauros“ but there stands 2x times seismosaurus if youd like to change it just a friendly reminder :)
Neat little fact: My great grandpa was the man that stood next to all these dinosaurs for a size comparison. He was only 1 or 200,000,000 years old at the time! Thanks gramps!
Shout out to the narration..perfect voice for it
shame he doesn't read his facts properly before publishing
@@antop4597 what do facts matter..we all end up dead
There really are a lot of bad "facts" and REALLY bad size comparisons in this video.
i know how raptors were but im gonna stick with the Jurassic Park version in my head cos they're way scarier
10:18 dude.... subdivide that mesh and apply auto-smooth!
how many times is this video gonna tell me the measurments and bite force of a T-rex??
Why was i expecting a “your mum” comment to be the most liked 💀
Pretty cool , The Alligator went from big to small at the same time crocodiles went from small to big. Something wild happened at the same time. 😜
10:14 4300 kg is just 4,3 tonnes, idk how the US manages to make that 6-7 Tons.
Your voice is so familiar!! Do you also narrate the "Kurzgesagt" KZhead channel??
The dinosaur Renaissance was in the 1870 to the 1890s
"Largest Creatures To Ever Exist On Earth" proceeds to spend 35 minutes just going over the literal history of the planet
near the start of the video the narrator said that the brachiosaurus could weight up to 70 tons and then at around 35-37 minutes he says they can weight up to 26 tons. And at the start he said that the bite force of a T-REX was around 22,000 psi and then at 38 minutes he says the bite force is between 1,500-5,000 psi
Not forgetting the mighty Mega Godzillasaurus from Hollywoodian era
Don't forget my man Ghidorah
Amazing video
SUBSCRIBED👍!
But the largest of all dinosaurs was the Gigantawhoppamegaultraexpialadocialgbtundectableasaurus. Sadly, only one bone was found in a rock strata deep within a government-protected zone of Indonesia.
T-Rex is basically the pitbull of dinosaurs, not as big but powerful
16:06 virtually no snake is poisonous as they inject toxins making them venomous. Also kinda bugging me the constant switching of units of measurement but other than that i am really enjoying the video.
1.2 m jaw or head I dont understand
"poisonous snakes" and there goes all credibility for this video 😭
Same. I was so disappointed to hear that lol. Not all European accents are made the same lol
man, they care about dinosaurs not minute language details nobody but nerds care about
The whole script is so obviously written by an AI
@@SprinkledFox how did you notice and why is it "obvious" to you
I said a similar thing, it's such a annoying misnomer especially from a supposed scientific channel. Although most of the rest of the video has gotten its info right.
Not sure who wrote the script for this video but before the 2 minute mark the video talk about bones found in the 1970s to the 1990s which were later lost and destroyed during WW2. Is AOC the headwriter for this channel?
Just wondering .. Did ancient civilizations have any records of dinosaurs? or just us ?
Theres cave drawings of them and many other instances where humans depicted dinosaurs perpetuating the theory that humans and dinosaurs existed simultaneously.
@deepinyamouf1, can u provide a source? I really would like to learn more about it. 😊
@@deepinyamouf1Yes, I'd like to see the link of where you learned that. Cause apparently, you know more than every scientist on the planet. Sorry, but no, dinosaurs and humans didn't live at the same time.
Humans most likely found bones here and there, but no one really cared about them or really thought about what the bones were from until more modern times.
They did have records of it; creatures like dragons or cyclops were born from the scholars of ancient civilizations trying to explain the massive and weird bones that would occasionally be found during construction or after any dramatic natural disaster that would expose them.
Titanaboa prospered because of the warmer wetter atmospheric conditions, a significantly higher oxygen level than the earth does now. The amount of prey animals or food sources and the oxygen levels had significant effects on how large animals could get.
Came because of the thumbnail thinking it was a OP Zunesha theory, stayed for the stonking dinos
Howdy! Love your video... except for a few details... T-rex was only capable of running, at most, 20 mph. Also, they only ever got to the size of about 20 feet tall or about 6&1/2 meters. Also, velociraptor was about the size of a modern day turkey, not as small as a small chicken, but procompsognathus was about the height of a chicken, maybe just a bit bigger at about 1.5 meters tall. Giganotosaurus was only about 25 feet tall at absolute most, and the g's are pronounced like how you would say "giggle." And while, yes, the brachiosaur is a very large sauropod dinosaur, the largest titanosaurid sauropod dinosaur fossils to have ever been found belonged to the Argentinosuarus, and even then, we have only ever found fragmentary bones and fossils, similar with almost every other single herbivorous dinosaur skeleton and fossil. I do absolutely love your video concept, but it's hard to leave a like when so many of your information tidbits are incredibly incorrect.
Wrong. The name of this therapod has always been pronounced JIGaNoToSaurus... Jurassic Park enthusiasts think Sam Neill's pronunciation of GIGaNoToSaurus is gospel, but we all know how sloppy the movie industry can be. Why we even have a cartoon called Gigantosaurus which further corrupts the pronunciation of this therapod whose greek derivative is giant southern lizard and in no way infers the concept of GIGANTIC. In fact, giganto derives from gigas which is greek for giant, and Gigantosaurus megalonyx was actually a dubious classification of a sauropod named in 1869, so can NOT be used as a classification for this therapod.
@@kevinmiller8051 I agree. I was probably wrong about the pronunciation of a very well known and disputed dinosaur. However, under the understanding that you could also be incorrect, we both have to take into account that the simple Latin and Greek bases of many words are also completely "mispronounced" according to where a scholar or student may reside. Differing dialects have an exceptional way of diversifying speech. So while you might pronounce it, "Jig," I will happily go on pronouncing it "Gig." Although you are correct in calling me out on that. I shouldn't have portrayed my stance as detrimentally factual as I did, and for that, I am sorry. Thank you. TLDR: Most likely. Although... this video was kinda wack regardless.
@@rookmagorium First, allow me to apologize for my rude opening comment "wrong". Also, I am not sure why I was so adamant about the pronunciation of the name of a dinosaur that was just discovered in 1993...surely not a sufficient timespan to support my use of an adverb "always".
@@rookmagorium With that said, you have spurred some reconsideration on my part, so I wouldn't be so hasty to apologize for your selected pronunciation. I agree with you that there is controversy when it comes to proper pronunciation of words derived from ancient languages. Also, regardless if one accepts the practice, the editors of dictionaries are constantly modifying such criteria, based on ever-changing contemporary usage. So, who is to say how the prefix GIGA is pronounced. Do we use the hard G as in giggle, or the soft G as in giant, and then is the letter "i" long or short?? I am sure someone steeped in linguistics or philology education could speak to this more effectively, but I am just someone who takes a casual interest in the subject. So, while Ruben Carolini may have wanted to use the name Gigantosaurus, rules prevented him from reusing a name previously adapted, so he selected Giganotosaurus. I would like to think he had the word giant in mind, so my preferred pronunciation would stick with this softG usage. I would however alter my previous offering of JIG that uses a soft i sound, and instead use the hard i sound and also assign the letter G to the second syllable. THus, JEYE-GAN-O-TO-SAUR-US. Yup, that is cooler sounding, so it's perfect! LOL
@@rookmagorium ...and yes, while well-intentioned, this video was ill-prepared and full of errors and inconsistencies which just turned it into a whimsical piece of entertainment rather than a reliable documentary.
Do the terror birds have large talons?
Well, precious, why don't you come a little closer and see for yourself
I like the music ! Can someone tell me where I can find it ? Or what composer/band or whatever it is that would be cool dino musiccc
Hi, I know it's a bit late but at minute 1:29 you used seismosaurus twice, instead of supersaurus at the end!
15:50 That viral video of the eagle trying to snatch a child in the park was exposed as a hoax.
Great video BTW that eagle picking up kid was a hoax
All of this happened only for me to attend useless zoom meetings and worry about inflation. Ugh. I wish I could have been created as a chain of amino acids floating aimlessly through water at the beginning of life.
ahhhh, but then one day you awaken and realize you've become a complex protein molecule.
OMG the video of the eagle snatching up a baby was an vfx assignment for a student back in the day. That video is so old it was featured on =3.
Most snakes are not poisonous. They´re venomous.
I'm 5 minutes in and there's already been 2 inaccuracies. Brontosaurus was not a Dinosaur. Brachiosaurus was not the biggest herbivore.
The way you said Leviathan it’s Levi- a-than. 😂
15.58 no true it was a CIG effect done buy students. they came out a couple of days after releasing the video and because of the media coverage.
2:52 "get that garbage outta here!"
Great resumed-knowledge video, but the end was bit to short about the "blue whales" which is amazing that the largest mamals on this planet r still living with us today... hope that you are going to do a dedicated video only about the Blue Whale !
Now they're Ravens. Crows. Robins. Geese and Chickadees etc etc?
hey guys... the blue whale is the largest animal to ever exist.
True also the cheetah is the fastest land animal to have ever existed.
@BrianKAngus yeah I mean it makes sense. Evolution working the way it does.. you know, things progressing overtime insinuates that the latest time period would have the best and greatest adaptations.
saw something a few days ago where it said T.Rex didnt have feathers it might have when a baby but not as an adult ,from impressions of skin found ,its skin was more like a gator or croc .
We don't knpw exactly if it had or not had feathers. We know that it had scales, but many birds today had both scales and feathers. So we cannot say for sure. Also, there is an high chance that it could have sexual dimorphism
It's all educated guesses that have been completely wrong many times. Realizing how off when much more complete fossils found. Like in beginning of vid, all they have are a pair of arm and hands w claws but they have the dino w whole skeleton, skin w color,spots an even hair on places. All from some arms. 🤷♂️
@@Jerk_ANCIf you found half a human skeleton, you can guess what the rest looked like based on other human skeletons. Multiple dinosaurs, some much more complete, have traits in common. It's common sense to assume, by default, that similar dinosaurs share similar traits.
@dezember25th I understand, but how do they know the color of fur, feathers, or skin? Some are very colorful while others are very dull. I always wondered.
@@Jerk_ANC We usually don't, but sometimes we guess based on what makes sense, lile dinosaurs in deserts probably weren't brightly colored or fully feathered in white. However, we also sometimes find traces of pigment cells that tell us what shades the skin probably was
