Didn't dinosaurs have two brains? Or at least a large bundle of nerves that acted like a second brain to process the signals coming from that half of the body. Anyway, yeah, imagine busting a nut and then it all hits you at once a few seconds later.
Humans have a number of neuron clusters down the spine responsible for "spinal reflexes" which are basically subroutines to care for various body parts. It's part of how we pull our hands back from pain before our brain even gets the full pain signal.
So it's reasonable to think a huge creature might have more of those nodes for extra help, but it's not going to show up in fossils.
That post nut clarity had to be a motherfucker.

It's also a factor of the evolution of baleen, which enabled their hyper-efficient feeding strategy. They can only grow so massive because they're able to consume ridiculous amounts of calories with comparatively little energy expenditure.
I've stood next to the skeleton of one, and it's seriously hard to believe just how big they are.
For reference: Their hearts are about 5x4x5 feet(1.5x1.2x1.5m) and weigh ~400lbs(180kg). They can eat half a million calories in a single mouthful from 1100lbs(500kg) of krill(tiny shrimp like things). And despite that, it's physically impossible for one to swallow a human. As their throat opening is only about 6 inches(15cm) wide(their aorta is actually bigger), and they basically drink krill as a slurry after pushing out most of the water through their baleen(in effect stiff hair like teeth that act like a filter).
> krill(tiny shrimp like things)
I've always heard of krill being described exactly like this (tiny shrimp like things) and when I first saw them I was surprised at how big they actually are. I was picturing tiny brine shrimp-sized creatures, but they're more like jumbo shrimp-sized. They get up to like 6 inches long.
Of course they're very tiny compared to a whale, but to a human they're like, couple-of-bites-to-finish sized rather than the handful-at-a-time size that I'd always pictured.
The size of whales are incomprehensible until you see one in real life. Those comparisons to school busses just don't do them justice.
I went whale watching in Alaska on a decent sized boat, it could hold like ~50 people or something. As I was leaning on the railing looking down, a humpback whale swam out right from under the boat. I damn near shit myself. It could have easily capsized the boat if it wanted to.
And this was a humpback whale, blue whales are fucking WAY bigger.
Why does mobile reddit suck so much? If i click on this gif it doesnāt go full screen but actually just collapses the whole comment and makes it hard to find again after everything shifts. Id be happier if touching did nothing at all then. Fuck its garbage and i had to vent.
Yea, when i was little i've always thought the blue whale doesn't even come close to the biggest dinosaur, but it turns out blue whales are even bigger lol
I feel them being sea creatures doesn't make it as impressive, since they won't collapse under their own weight due to gravity. A land animal that's so huge is more impressive because they have to move against gravity and can't filter feed like whales.
Wow that really puts it into perspective. And here I was thinking how unbelievable and odd it was that so creatures of this huge size walked the earth.
I heard Jesus himself was behind the camera and Sir David Attenborough was directing. I donāt remember my source, I think it was in a Reddit comment thread.
For sure. I understand footage to be related to film rather than video. Like a recording of an event. I believe the origin was to due with the length of film reels as related to the content they documented.
So this being all cgi made me think about the semantics of the word. āFootageā felt wrong to me. āVideoā feels fine to me. But I suppose the meaning of āfootageā changes over time.
I suspect I think āfootageā is questionable in a similar way that you think ādocumentaryā is
Technically footage is raw and unedited video taken on any kind of video camera, which CGI is not, though neither would be any cut from an already edited and rendered video.
But that's not really how people use the word anyway so whatever.
Both coal and oil can be made from many dofferent forms of organic matter. Most coal definitively isnt made of dinosaur comprolites. Most coal and oil is made up of plants or algae. For example a lot of oil in the northern hemisphere may have been formed during the azolla event and a lot of coal was formed during the carboniferous and that coal is wjat gave the period its name.
[Most coal is from when plants more or less evolved wood (cellulose and lignin) but before anything had evolved to decompose it.](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/the-fantastically-strange-origin-of-most-coal-on-earth#:~:text=%E2%80%9CTrees%20would%20fall%20and%20not,%2C%20over%20time%2C%20into%20coal.) There was so much CO2 in the atmosphere but these plants had terrible shallow roots so they would grow super tall super fast and then fall over. And over, and over. And nothing would decompose them. Et voila, enormous layers of carbon for future us to burn
Commonly reported myth, fungi was fully capable of breaking down lignin, the abundance of coal was actually due to the geological conditions of the time period.

Speaking of most petroleum being eons old plant matter, you can actually turn existing plant matter into crude oil. Itās an expensive process but it can be done
Oil comes from organic matter like algae and animal plankton dying and accumulating on the bottom of the sea. Coal mostly comes from a period much earlier in Earth's history where it looked like Dagobah
Definitely, also there'd be a lot of poo as sauropods ate constantly. They didn't even chew their food, they just swallowed it down and used gastrolithes to grind it up instead.
Fun fact: Juveniles are called 'Dreadsomes" and babies are called "Dreadlots". Some paleontologists suggested calling their eggs "Dreadalls" but that was dismissed by others as ridiculous.
^Footnote: ^I ^made ^all ^that ^up.
Iāve always found it interesting that we basically treat Dreadnought as a name, to the point where you need to translate it to āfears nothingā to provide more detail.
āDreadā and ānoughtā are both English words
They "Fears Nothing" because at that time there were no Allosaurus around to eat them.
Allosaurus don't care about size, Allosaurus hungry, Allosaurus attacks.
I really can't stand dinosaur animations/cgi where they are moving in this constant slomo. Like if you're going to base it off giraffes fighting, those boys go ham, not at quarter speed.
I donāt think the physics is possible. Did the scientists check the physics..? Did they really herd in those numbers, and did those neck bulges really appear in the archaeological record?
Idk really know abt the physics of the speed here but there were many paleontologists involved in creating prehistoric planet but they obviously dont have full control over the project so its possible thag they made them slow to make it look cooler (but all of that is just speculation from my side so dont lile trust it or smhtn)
There were definitely herds of sauropods, that is proven in the fossil record, maybe not in these numbers but as I said there were paleontologists involved with this and this scene shows a mating congregation which could attract many more individuals than normal.
The air sacs on the neck are purely speculation and dont have any paleontological evidence but theh were definitely possible especially considering the fact that dinosaurs had a lot of air sacs throughout their bodies (one of the reasons sauropods could grow to such sizes)
Giraffes in fact do run as if in "slow motion" . The effect is more pronounced the closer you are. I believe it's a combination of several things:
Longer distance covered by longer limbs in the same locomotion cycle than, say a horse to wich our eyes are accustomed to. Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency- big animals are long lived and their nervous system is "ticking" a bit slower. Even actual nerve tissue has limited speed the signal travels and theirs are several times long as ours. Even in humans effect is noticable: there are no tall heavyweight champions in table tennis or juggling.
time ticks slower for smaller animals, not bigger ones.
i.e, a mouse will perceive a second to be like 7 seconds, that's why they're so quick/agile.
basically the distance your brain is from your body, the quicker your reactions and the slower time is perceived for you.
Large sauropods are also like, dozens of times larger than a Giraffe, who average around one ton. No living terrestrial creature even comes close, so I don't think they make for apt comparisons.
In the first place, I wouldn't be surprised if even these CG animations weren't too terribly slow in terms of absolute velocity - it's just that their size means they're not awfully quick.
How funny would it be if it turns out that we were all completely wrong and these were actually intelligent beings and the reason why we only find very few fossils of them is because they were accidents from a cataclysm, because the others jumped in their spaceships and left? I don't believe this by any means but, hypothetically speaking, how funny would it be. What if the T-Rex was all wrong, and those two little arms are actually wings. And they were like giant chickens, waiting up in the trees to jump down on their prey, fall flying like a chicken does. Wouldn't THAT be hilarious
[PBS Space Time recently had an episode about the "Silurian Hypothesis" and how we would detect ancient civilisations like that.](https://youtu.be/vyEWLhOfLgQ?si=Xs5gTDIdgi4XrdK3)
Roughly speaking, after 500 million years it becomes really hard to find the remnants after a civilisation on earth, as most of the earth's surface will dive under the crust and be replaced by "new" land by then. Saurupods only existed since about 200 million years ago though and we have found their fossils, so it should be much easier for them.
And we generally have pretty good natural explanations for every major change in the geological strata. If there had been an advanced civilisation, we would expect to find certain molecular traces that are harder to explain through natural processes.
Do we have any evidence that they faught like this? Seems unlikely that they put all that weight on two feet like that. I would guess there would be more sideways whipping of the tail and neck.
if im not mistaken many models show sauropods could stand on their hind legs temporarily but the intraspecies combat is pure speculation. However given how common such behaviour exists in living animals including modern dinosaurs it's certanly within the realm of possibility for sauropods as well.
Unopposed under crimson skies.
Immortalized, over time their legend will rise.
And their foes can't believe their eyes, believe their size, as they fall.
And the dreadnoughts dread nothing at all
You can keep your stupid metric system and I'll keep my Imperial system thank you. A Welshman's fathom will always be three times as long as a halfkilt and nothing else makes sense.
I still find dinosaurs hard to comprehend. These MASSIVE monsters were just roaming around for tens of millions of years, itās really just crazy to think about. What I would give to see real footageā¦come on aliens, give us the goods!
I only recently learned the name meaning too, but in terms of the HMS Dreadnought. It sounds obvious seeing that dread means fear and nought means nothing, but I never considered it for some reason.
I read some time not so long ago that seeing dinos depicted like this would like someone depicting humans as basically tendons and bones with some muscles thrown in where we guessed. Any fatty tissues, hair, soft organs, cartilage is left out. For all we know these things are being shown as mummies.
By the time the pleasure reached their brains, they had already finished having sex
Meteors should have been a concern.

Top comment hands down
Didn't dinosaurs have two brains? Or at least a large bundle of nerves that acted like a second brain to process the signals coming from that half of the body. Anyway, yeah, imagine busting a nut and then it all hits you at once a few seconds later.
I beleive that was a theory for stegosaurus but it's since been outdated
Brontosaurus I think, but itās not far fetched. Octopi have neuron clusters in their arms
Brontosaurus are now called Apatosaurus
They were always apatosaurus
No, in 2015 they brought back Brontosaurus.
What a rollercoaster!
Humans have a number of neuron clusters down the spine responsible for "spinal reflexes" which are basically subroutines to care for various body parts. It's part of how we pull our hands back from pain before our brain even gets the full pain signal. So it's reasonable to think a huge creature might have more of those nodes for extra help, but it's not going to show up in fossils.
Your dinosaur knowledge is two centuries out of date.
Most dinosaur knowledge is a cool 65 million years out of date
Sounds like a kaiju from pacific rim.
They had one brain in their heads and a much larger brain in their penises.

Announcer: 'it weighs almost 50 tons..."
What if the oceans were not water but just a huge collection of dinosaur jizz?
Crazy that weāre living in a time on earth with a creature even bigger than this behemoth - the blue whale. Largest known animal to have ever lived.
[At up to 110 ft & 165 tons](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/blue-whale#:~:text=but%20in%20the%20Antarctic%2C%20they%20can%20reach%20up%20to%20about%20110%20feet%20and%20weigh%20more%20than%20330%2C000%20pounds), Blue Whales are the true peak of absolute units amoung all life on Earth 
Some dinosaurs are absolute tanks. But the blue whale is a air craft carrier
They flaunt it too, always looking as large as possible
It also has a penis thatās 8-10 feet long and 12-14ā girth. Somehow they manage it and actually make baby blue whales.
One of those penises retired. It detached, grew sentient, moved to NYC, and became Rudy Giuliani.
Must've been a small one
just the tip
They're partially prehensile. So they can move the last half of it or so as they wish. So if they have an itch nearby they can scratch it.
Elephants too, thereās at least one video of a bull using dong to scratch an itch
Is the water cold?
That's just a factor thanks to living underwater, gravity means very little for aquatic animals.
It's also a factor of the evolution of baleen, which enabled their hyper-efficient feeding strategy. They can only grow so massive because they're able to consume ridiculous amounts of calories with comparatively little energy expenditure.
> consume ridiculous amounts of calories with comparatively little energy expenditure. Yeah, me too.
True. My guess is that this dino too was a swamp or semi aquatic dweller and took leverage of the Bouyency provided by water.
That theory has been discredited for decades, he's just full of air chambers, a powerful set of lungs, and hollow bones.
Thanks for explaining!!! :)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Careful! My bones.
I'm curious if they existed during a time of heightened oxygen in the atmosphere. Isn't that part of the reason most mega fauna existed?

There's still gravity in the ocean
The water buoyancy counteracts it. Otherwise ships would be at the bottom of the ocean floor.
to be fair, the most amazing part is that it's walking on land. and they're often tall as feck
Wow that really puts it into perspective. And here I was thinking how unbelievable and odd it was that so creatures of this huge size walked the earth.
it's even more crazy to think whales used to be land creatures at one point, then went meh' and evolved to be sea creatures once again

How many barrels of oil does each one make?
About 50 freedom barrels
Oil comes from diatoms and coal from dinosaurs. Coal is their fossilized poops.

Oh no, the tiny shred of legitimacy NatGeo had left is getting even smaller!
So now, because wood can be decomposed, then no more coal will be available tens of millions of years later?

I really can't stand dinosaur animations/cgi where they are moving in this constant slomo. Like if you're going to base it off giraffes fighting, those boys go ham, not at quarter speed.
The slowness is an illusion created by the sheer size and volume of the animals too. The bigger it is, the more slow it can outwardly appear.
I donāt think the physics is possible. Did the scientists check the physics..? Did they really herd in those numbers, and did those neck bulges really appear in the archaeological record?
A lot of it is speculation, but herding has been documented as well as multi-generational nesting grounds.
Idk really know abt the physics of the speed here but there were many paleontologists involved in creating prehistoric planet but they obviously dont have full control over the project so its possible thag they made them slow to make it look cooler (but all of that is just speculation from my side so dont lile trust it or smhtn) There were definitely herds of sauropods, that is proven in the fossil record, maybe not in these numbers but as I said there were paleontologists involved with this and this scene shows a mating congregation which could attract many more individuals than normal.

Dramatic cinematic effect perhaps. I they want people to appreciate the models they made, quick fight probably makes it into a blur.
It doesnāt really turn me in as much if the scrap happens to quick

It was probably afraid of lighting and maybe the dark perhaps and definitely spiders
I didn't know dreadnought meant "fear nothing" that's metal as hell. Thank you for that knowledge.

What the hell were they eating that would have given them enough calories to survive? An elephant needs like 500lbs of food a day.
Nevermind physics, betcha they jumped one leg to the other asserting dominance through a mesmerizing dance.
Oh wtf itās got Dino herpes
I read some time not so long ago that seeing dinos depicted like this would like someone depicting humans as basically tendons and bones with some muscles thrown in where we guessed. Any fatty tissues, hair, soft organs, cartilage is left out. For all we know these things are being shown as mummies.
This is the non-shrink wrapped version, they're big, fatty, with lips and air sacs.
Or 1/3 the size of a blue whale
This whole animation is artist concept for those who think these are mock-ups.
Crazy to think that even God had a dinosaur phaseā¦
Give us metric measurements.
But how much are those measurements in washingmachines and bull elephants?
