The past is a vast and mysterious land that begins at the big bang and ends in the present, expanding with each passing moment. It is the home of everything that came before, the key to understanding our present. Here we find the most amazing creatures to ever roam our planet, hundreds of millions of species so diverse that our imagination cannot do them justice. Unfortunately the past carefully guards its secrets.

Imagining dinosaurs with bright colours and unique pallets is far far more interesting and heartwarming than the usual drab colours
It would also be quite inaccurate for the large carnivores, for which bright colors would impare its ability to hunt prey.

Love how he describes the human body: it’s mainly squishy, gooey, soft stuff which does not preserve well.
Hes very right, which is why we're constantly changing our view of past species. Just a little bit of difference can completely change things like how scaly skin samples were all we had but then we discovered traces of feathers on dinosaurs.
The human body actually does preserve very well, actually. Granted it be alive of course.

As a biology major I am glad you did this. All dinosaurs were just giant birds. They had feathers and were probably intelligent. The movies give them no justice. They were probably insanely beautiful.
No, not all dinosaurs were birds
not all of them had feathers
@@xenome3883 you are telling a biologist something you didn't even learn yet
@@Angel-yn1kt they aren't saying they were birds? They are saying they were LIKE birds
@@ProntoLamatic It is true, both of the things they said, not all dinosaurs were like birds and not all of them had feathers. Not that I am saying the biology major is wrong, they just need to phrase what they said a bit better. The thing you have to understand is that dinosaurs lived for about 3 times the amount of time it has been since they disappeared, and so they were very bio-diverse. Humans and whales are more closely related than something like tyrannosaurus and triceratops are.
I don't really cry at sad movies, stories or books despite being an emotional person... And yet this brought me to tears. At how much information has been lost, how many species there are to mourn as completely dead, at how amazing life is, and how important it is to preserve. Amazing video- I never had much of an interest in dinosaurs before now!
The audio on this one was very cinematic.
Also the narration was top notch. Wish I could narrate my videos as good as them
Very mood inductive. I was on the verge of tears at some point.

"How intensely amazing these creatures must have been" Hits wayy to hard
I teared up
Your picture is adorable 🥰
I teared up as well, partially in sadness, but mostly in joyful anticipation. "I saw heaven and earth new-created." (Rev. 21:1) "The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same time into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens." (Romans 8:18-21) I look forward to meeting all these amazing creatures in the new earth God has promised to those who trust him! I can hardly wait!
@@amberthesalamander thank you! I drew it :)
@benji cute and dead tired. Yup 🤪
I love this video. I love how kurzgesagt describes how dinosaurs aren’t just stupid,reptilian monsters and instead would have been feathered, pleasant animals!
Well, some would have been feathered. But large dinosaurs like your namesake, would’ve not had feathers. Supported by the lack of feathers is skin fossils of tyrannosaur, and the fact that feathers are a negative trait in any large animal.

The music in this, and all the videos I've seen of Kurzgesagt, is absolutely beautiful. Paired with the amazing script, great voice, and amazingly gorgeous animation this is some of the best stuff that helps spread knowledge I've ever come across. Truly, a blessing
I never knew a fictional dinosaur character like Barney would actually end up being historically accurate.
well they said to use our imagination
You're joking, but the coloration is entirely artistic license to make a nice looking video. Think about it; why would either predator or prey develop coloration that works against them being able to survive and breed longer? Birds that are extremely colorful usually live in environments that suit their coloration and have an advantage of being able to quickly flee by flying away. Exotic bird coloration also is usually more prominent in males, where the range of genetic variation is greater in almost all species. That coloration is also frequently used as distraction away from females that have eggs or hatchlings just as much as in mating rituals. Most mammals, reptiles, insects, and slower birds are earth or plant toned or at least suited to their environment/role in the food chain. Even the idea that dinosaurs had feathers is based on the presumption that the marks of soft tissue are the same as modern birds; they could just as easily have been quills like in a porcupine or some chitinous formations like in insects or keratin like hair and nails in mammals. Taking this video to its own conclusions of randomly adding more soft tissue because animals have it now would lead to thinking an animal like a tiger had huge wing flaps like flying squirrels and that they glided down from trees to get prey. They use an example of of making a sea lion look like a four legged land animal, but it can just as easily go the other direction.
@Horamberg I'd say they mostly died out due to a big cataclysm and reduced in size thanks to ever lowering oxygen levels in the atmosphere. We have reptiles and birds as the survivors, though.
@Horamberg no, i didn't say evolution only produces better results. It's a result of environmental pressure. It's far more likely mass extinctions occurred because of cyclical imbalance in carbon levels causing plant explosions which put so much oxygen in the air fires last longer and burn wider. Volcanic activity was higher then and until humans started deforesting wide swaths of land, most forests were on fire yearly. You should learn to use the correct form of they are before trying to drop knowledge.
@Horamberg what magic words, moron? Geologic record clearly shows cyclic mass fires across the planet after the explosion of plants.
I used to be a fan, but after seeing this masterpiece, I'm a whole air conditioner.

It’s weird to think that there could have been different fruits and food that existed when dinosaurs did. We will never know how they taste or what they were

🤔
"Time marches on without any concern for our feelings and the past expands with every moment that passes." That hit harder than it should have.
There's always one that gets me in every episode I've ever watched 😉
I watched the video for the Dinosaurs but as it is a Kurzgesagt video, of course it will fill me with some sort of existential crisis of sorts.
"time's arrow neither stays still nor reverses. It merely marches forward."
Don't despair... If anything, this kind of "reality check" usually encourages me to treat what I have and what I experience with respect, and do what I can to enjoy and have a full life :)

This is hands down my favorite video of yours. The reverence and beauty you have for these animals just tugs at my heart strings.
@KZhead please . . pay these people, this is my favorite youtube channel by far. It helped me in many ways to improve myself and find love in scientific related topics. I believe in their work and the powerful impact they have on many people. Abrazo Desde 🇲🇽 Mexico.
Another point to make is dinosaurs seemingly have to be “cool” and “badass”. People for some reason seem to shrug these prehistoric creatures off if they are portrayed to be feathered, colorful, and realistic. Just like a lot of modern animals don’t appear that intimidating, the same thing can be applied to dinosaurs.
There are a couple of animated videos on KZhead that show this.
People always say animals aren’t intimidating until they actually see one, it doesn’t matter how fluffy and colourful they are, once one starts chasing you down that’s when they are actually scary.
I reckon there’s quite the amount of modern animals that do appear intimidating though
I don't even get what about having feathers and colors make them less cool. I've never gotten the argument. For one, dinosaurs aren't fiction or made up. They really existed. So you can't just be a designer and DECIDE how they looked based on how much you like it. For two, having feathers doesn't make them look less cool?? I think it actually makes them look COOLER. The intricate designs and interesting mechanisms you get from feathers can't be replicated by flat skin with scales. Have you seen birds of paradise? If they were the size of a t-rex and frilled their feathers, you'd be WAY more scared of them than any rex.
@@Shmat49 I mean we are animals too and indeed.. humans can be damn scary. But the fact is.. the overwhelming majority of the other animals will never chase down a human since humans are even physically stronger and taller than most animals that live today.

It was like remembering cherished memories. It was but it isn't. Excellent job kurzgesagt. You might be the greatest expression of mankind curiosity and desir for knowledge.
This is by far my favorite episode. I absolutely love the wild speculation of how dinosaurs looked and behaved, and the amazing animations and background music. Thank you for this one!
The animators went above and beyond for this video. They animated living animals, extinct animals (that we can only make educated guesses as to what they looked like), and animals that we can literally only imagine. All done beautifully. This video should get an award for its animation.

It's the best quality channel in KZhead maybe together with MelodySheep
I AGREE! SH*T!!!
This is how all their videos are, and I agree they’re amazing. They spend thousands of hours on each video and the animations paired with the narration makes for a really good video every time.
"Life finds a way" the best phrase that resumes everything
However there are so many videos on youtube of life NOT finding a way.
U, West 🤣🤣😂😂😂
It’s been nearly 2 years and this is still my favorite Kurzgesagt video, it’s just so gorgeous.
The amount of effort which has been put onto the video is fascinating, all the right colours and motion graphics, everything is just watchable and feels like worth watching 😅, it takes me 2 weeks to make a simple video.
This video basically nailed the reason I went into Zoology instead of Paleontology despite my passion for both. There's just such a diversity of life around today that it feels tragic to ignore that in favour of yearning for a past we'll never fully understand.
its sad we will never truly know what a dinosaur looks like or what creatures we missed, because the skeletons look entirely different some animals dont leave any trace
The reason I went into Palaeontology instead of Zoology is because studying extinct animals makes you truly cherish the diversity of life today, because you study exactly how life evolved over time.
Wow, that's actually very cool
@@pastlife960 Different strokes; I'm glad that people like you are in the field since we all have different interests. I have nothing negative to say about those that decide to pursue the natural sciences since the only consequence is more knowledge and more revelations about the wonderful world we live in.
@RainCheck "We are currently in the biggest mass extinction event" Wrong. 1st: Ordovician Silurian "There are approximately 445 Ma, at the limit between the Ordovician and the Silurian, a mass extinction occurs, probably following a great glaciation which would have recorded climatic and ecological disorders making difficult the adaptation of species and ecosystems to the retreat of the sea for hundreds of kilometers, then on its return at the end of the glacial phase. It results in the disappearance of 27% of families and 57% of genera of marine animals11,12, and an estimate of 85% at the species level." 2nd: Carboniferous Devonian Between 380 and 360 million years ago, the Devonian extinction, which includes several phases of extinction, eliminated 19% of families and 35 to 50% of genera of marine animals11 and an estimate of 75% at the species level 14. Repeated and significant variations in sea level and climate, as well as the appearance of significant vegetation cover on the continents, could be the cause of ocean anoxia and major biological crises. The causes of these changes are still debated. 3rd:Permian-Triassic Between 252 and 245 Ma ago, the Permian-Triassic extinction was the most massive. Almost 95% of marine life disappears as well as 70% of land species (plants, animals). This extinction was preceded by two smaller events, the extinction of Olson (−273 Ma) and that of the Capitanian (in) (−260 Ma) 4: Jurassic Triassic 201 Ma ago, the Triassic-Jurassic extinction marked the disappearance of 75% of marine species, and 35% of animal families, including most of the diapsids and the last of the large amphibians. 5th: Cretaceous Paleocene 66 Ma ago, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction killed 50% of species, including non-avian dinosaurs. We are not living through a mass extinction nor the "biggest" "In 2007, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature estimated that one in eight bird species, one in four mammals and one in three amphibians" It does 20% we are far faaaaar away from the 80%(or even 50), so don't worry we are not living through the "biggest mass extinction event". I'm not denying a lot of species are dying out there that shouldn't tho and it is a problem.
Paleontologist here, since I was a child I have always been fascinated by dinosaurs, all the books I read, toys I bought, documentaries I watched, etc. EVERYTHING was related to dinosaurs. It seemed incredible to me that millions of years ago such creatures existed. Since that age I knew that my passion was paleontology, I never was a model student, I spent 2 years in a career that I did not like because I could not enter the biology degree, I repeated the university entrance exam and after 7 years since after finishing school, I was able to graduate as a biologist and ended up being a paleontologist. From the books I read as a child with lanky dinosaurs looking like giant lizards until I first collaborated in the excavation of a dinosaur many years have passed, I try my best every day trying to find out how these magnificent creatures looked like. Great video as always, greetings!

not much of a loss other than to serve the purpose of fascination
I call it a win , people tend to fantasize about a lot of things and have misconceptions about different situation , I'll put it this way imagine a dog as large as you are that's faster has bigger teeth , can out climb you outrun you and outswim and is impossible to domesticate and that's not even 25% of how dangerous it would be with dinosaurs alive today , there would be nowhere you could run or hide ,and each time you sleep could possibly be the last time , even going outside for food would mean death because of "death from above"(I'll let you guess what I'm talking about)
Then we wont had survived
Nah as a matter of fact we are lucky cuz would never be able to exist if they didn’t disappeared in the first place
Good 👍👍👍
It genuinely hurts my soul knowing that such an insane amount of life will be forgortten forever. I want to know more
that's why we gotta make up more dinosaurs! IN FACT, WE SHOULD START A COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO MAKING THEIR OWN DINOSAURS
I remember hearing about a T-rex fossil that showed a debilitating broken femur, would have been lethal bit actually showed signs of healing. This means an other T-rex would have had to take care of it, bring it food and defend it from other predators.

The level of artistry you show in your videos is amazing! This one is exceptional. Thank you for your work. I hope all of you in the Kurzgesagt team create with joy and have good lives. Your videos are gifts of beauty, knowledge and fun. Your success is so deserved. Cheers!
This video made me cry right at the end, it's such a shame we couldn't get a chance to live besides these magnificent creatures and know more about their biology and habits. Also, I always loved the animation in these videos, so fluid and colorful!!
Better dont.. humans are evil.. they gonna breed them.. skin them and use it as a bag 💼.. or coat. Or cut their horn etc
Ah, yes the totally normal reaction when discovering a fossil " sheeesh "
SHEEESSSSHHH!
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh! a fossil! 😳
Sheeeeeesh! A frickin mammoth in da desert!??!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh! A tyrannosaurus full intact fossil?
Sheeehs ITS HUGE
As someone who was obsessed with dinosaurs as a child, watching this video feels a little bit like coming full-circle. It's like hearing about dinosaurs for the first time, but as an adult, and gaining new insight and a new appreciation for them and all the living things that have roamed the earth and continue to roam it. Thanks for making such insightful and absolutely beautiful videos. You guys are great
:)
I feel you ❤
🗿
I feel same
Same here. I've always been a big dinosaur fan, there was something so appealing and badass about them to me. I still have my pile of dinosaur figures hidden deep inside my closet!
I enjoyed that little reference to Sir David Attenborough towards the end! It's just approriate because I think he is the personification of the sense of wonder that occurs whenever we observe nature and learn something new about it.
So beautiful how kurzgesagt manages to get this philosophic feeling into their videos. It's not only that we learned something factual, we also feel wiser.
This video was unexpectedly sad. So much lost forever, essentially. Shows how delicate even the existence of life is. Even after everything we've discovered and achieved it can all disappear without a trace
Perhaps our nature as temporary fixtures is what makes life so beautiful. Someday, it’ll be one of those things you just had to be there for.
@@Duplicitousthoughtformentity I love your optimism!
Look at the bright side, in 50 years human caused global warming will have wiped out 90% of the rest of life on earth. The bright side is we'll all be dead so won't see it!
@Peter Bouma I love your optimism!
Life never disappeared, it just changed. That's what life is.
"The past expands with every moment that passes" How very Kurzgesagt.
Anti-Science is a Rising Problem. And so is the non-identical-but-bloodrelated Issue of Fake-Science. So much so that the channel simply named 'Spirit Science' misuses this word, has 1,16 mio subs, and is growing. So much of a social problem that actively damages our Planet and the human-species that i have even tried to report them. But for a simple factor, it didnt work yet: Not enough people do the same i do. Not enough report such a big channel, thinking 'Ah, it wont do anything anyway, so why even try'. Yeah, 'why even try'... thanks for that mindset... ... Sorry for the long comment but it woul be cool if you use the reportsystem of YT as it was once intended: to help 'us'. Aka: Would be cool if you help fight-back Anti-Science at least a bit. Hope you try, as it costs literally nothing but seconds.

Hmmm yes the floor is made. Out of floor
I always wondered if that was REALLY how they looked back then.
This KZhead channel is literally why i find Science Fun and interesting! I love how you guys animate and explain theories and facts to us it really does make sense💯😁
But Idiotic Religous Morons Ruin It
For everyone that wonders why these videos feel so refreshing, meaningful and uplifting: It's because they're enthusiastic about the past, the present and the future, about the wonder of life itself, which makes you feel greatful for being alive and a human being, something very rare in these days. The whole zeitgeist has become so doomy and misanthropic, that we thirst for a positive outlook on life.

@@MrUssy101 its literally an informative video?? they arent speaking like they know everything, theyre speaking in a way where they arent stuttering every 2 seconds. confidence is key. you'd probably think the same way if they constantly began to stutter and mess up lines!

Imagine future generations 200 years, they wont see any animals due to extinction.
This channel is so good. I love it.
This is such a great episode! I still have goosebumps after watching this. I'm not joking
"Time marches on without any concern for our feelings." It just breaks my heart and I haven't come to terms with it for almost 20 years.
It has taken me until my late 30s. I am finding myself shocked at just how fast time seems to be going by. I used to think, “hooray, it’s Friday night but Monday morning is just around the corner”. Now it’s, “it’ll be another Friday night three weeks later in a minute”. And I know it is only going to accelerate. At some point, it’ll hit you too. Maybe sooner, maybe later. You just have to make sure you do what you can to get the things you want out of life as quickly as possible before it’s too late. Go all in and make the most of what you’re able to. Or just sit back, relax, and watch the show. Whatever is right for you.
Maybe existentialist writers will make you feel like you have someone to talk to about it? It did help for me at least... I understand if it is a stupid suggestion.
@@Iterr I'm 38 lol. I suppose it bothers me less the busier I am, but only because I don't have time to think about it lol. I find also I'm generally more laid back and accepting of some aspects of life and less resistant. But if I get in my feels about it, it's still there, and still really strong.
@@ignaciogobet605 not a stupid suggestion at all. I took a philosophy of existentialism course in university so I have a passing familiarity with some of it. Sartre, Camus, D...something. Heidegger? Lol. That was 15 years ago tho. Perhaps I should check it out again with a more mature perspective
@@mikek7660 Dostoevsky probably for the D. Well then you know. When I discovered it I found it conforting that other people were having the same worries about certain things, since nobody talks about this in school or in most families, and one gets to the point in which they think they are alone in that sorrow.
This video makes me so unbelievably sad at all the lost worlds we'll never really know what looked like. Another expected and received amazing job on a video from Kurzgesagt.
im literally crying because of the same, i thought i was alone
at the end of time God will find pleasure in showcasing to us all the parts of his creation that we missed bc'f our short lifetimes. it all exists for his glory.
True
How about all the species that are still living today? Or all the species that may come? As they said, this is life, this is the beauty of life, the endless(?) Cycle of daying and life re-emerging . Its not sad, that's how it exactly should be. And with our (humans) god like powers as a collective we can do so much more. And how can we? With education, and expending our knowledge, and sharing it with the entire human species. With the will to be good gods, the kind that would role this universe (or perhaps multi) with intelligence and kindness. So go ahead and learn something, then teach it to someone else. And the most important thing to learn and remember, is that humanity is kind and good from there basic genetics. Take an example from the guys who made this video .
I am sad lost my car keys ;.(
"Time marches on without concern for our feelings..." Dang that hurts. I cried for sure. Truely what a loss that we don't even know what we've lost and won't ever be able to know. One of the scariest and most beautiful concepts we know is the one that humans won't ever be able to stop, time.
I love this video. I haven't realized the fact that our time is limited. Time is the most priceless resource we have.

I loved this pharase "time marches on without any concern for our feelings and the past expand with every moment that passes"
@dolimi jotoo “without a teace” 😂
I didn't like it
Human history has the same story where there are still some parts of our history that end up getting forgotten and never to be learned or discovered or even have different believes and have parts be discovered and imagined differently from how it may have actually happened. Same thing applies with the many prehistoric creatures in the world. Sounds like a sad tale where there are parts of the past that will never be discovered or never learn the truth of, but it's part of history.
I read this at the exact moment he said it lol
the music was just breathtaking! great job!
Once a year or so I always end up returning to Kurzgesagt's vidoes, and still I get emotional about them everytime.
This video made me cry. It's hard to explain the feeling of loss you feel simply because there is something out there you desperately want to know - but it will forever be unknowable.
Will it?
Wait I thought I was the only one!!! Im tearing up by the end!
@@rowni trust me, you ain't. stupid onions
Yes of course. The fact that we have only "scratched the surface" of reality with science is saddening, but the key is that all humanity must invest more on science to answer these basic questions.
"But such is life - time marches on without any concern for our feelings (...)" Damn!! I stand with you mate!
The music at the end was so emotional 🥲
Ok

"Time marches on without any concerns of our feelings." The depth a lot of the quotes coming from this channel is outstanding!!
"Time doesn't care about your feelings". -Kurzgesagt Shapiro

As a PhD paleontologist, this is by far the best concise explanation I've seen. It is disheartening to know that there are some things we may never know but a famous person once said "The More I know the more I know what I don't know" and that gives me hope :). Thank You for your beautiful videos
I hope time machine becomes a real life thing..
@@kirayoshikage5120 best of luck, bud.
I would say there is definitely some better videos but for people who don't know much on the subject this is fine. There is definitely some things I wish they gave more info about.
@@RevTheHermit thanks, camarada
What do mean? We don’t even know the things we think we know. You guys find like two bones, start putting things together using mostly imagination, and boom, all of a sudden we “know” all these things.
That dying mammoth scene was heartbreaking
i think this is actually one of ur guys best videos ever forreal its top tier
I remember decades ago when artists first started rendering "colorful" dinosaurs. Books and magazines that featured such depictions usually had a note by them, cautioning the reader that the rendition was "speculative" and that "nobody knows what dinosaurs really looked like." This always struck me as odd, because I grew up as a child with green, brown, and sometimes steely-blue dinosaurs in my books, but nobody ever cautioned at that time that those depictions were likewise "speculative", they were merely "conventional" and had become accepted over time for no particularly good reason except that modern reptiles are the same colors (while ignoring modern reptiles that are strikingly colored and patterned). Such is the conservatism of science, which is not always based on knowledge, but upon what is acceptable at any given time.
Not reptiles at all
@@brianteskey2425 didn’t say or imply, just gave example due to expectations. We know certain dinosaurs evolved to birds.
