still waiting for Azhdarchids Part 3




:p

[HavardStreAndresen]

Yeah! I have been waiting for this one. Thumbs up!

[cyrilio]

Please make a part three. To be released in one year.

[OphiousModder]

Literally just watched the first part and subscribed yesterday. I only had to wait a day 😁

So we could technically have giraffe sized bats evolving in the future

Imagine yourself being a small mammal, going out of a burrow and you see a Quetzalcoatlus at a cliff edge and then it flaps it’s wings and fly over you.

That would be a majestic sight, it’s sad their extinct. T-T

0:17 That’s some the cutest baby-killin I’ve ever seen.

When you're finished with Azhdarchids, you should make a video focusing on Tapejarids. I think those pterosaurs are unique enough to deserve their own video!

I have Witton's book and I highly recommend it. It is an interesting read that in my opinion is very technical yet at the same time easy to understand and the artwork, provided by Witton himself, is absolutely beautiful.

Idea for a follow-up;

- What did they evolve from?
- Different subgroups.

Love the vids 😀😜 keep it up 😉

[flippert]

A video for my 'Paleontology' AND 'Biophysics' playlists, thanks!

[davidmcwilliams]

So glad this came out, my pet kitten died today and this cheered me up a lot, thank you very much :)

[Volvith]

Well, what a way to come back from a vacation.
The missing episode about carnivorous giraffe planes, long overdue indeed, but a welcome surprise nonetheless!
Thank you, Ben, much appreciated! :D

[ambidexterity]

It always struck me how top heavy they seem. I wonder how it kept balanced during flight?

[batmanforawhile]

2:15, imagine being a fierce tyrannosaurid scavenging in a carcass and a flying giraffe straight up t poses on you.

When I was a little kid and learned about pterosaurs, I thought they were cool.

Now, after I watched this video as an adult, I realize they are even cooler than I thought!

Welp, see you all in 2020 for part 3! :D
