I like how he pauses before he speaks. Shows how he really thinks before he says.

Toy company: All right, this guy has been complaining about how our dinosaurs don't stand up the right way, but I think we got him this ti- what... What... WHATWHATWHAT!?!

i just recently discovered this wonderful man and i am 100% obsessed

[aubreyackermann]

Well, two birds with one stone is much less impressive when compared to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs... that's a lot of birds with one rock

The Therizinosaurus really is the platypus of dinosaurs.

"Don't discount the fluffiness" Words to live by.

I showed my little sisters that picture of the floofy Therizinosaurus and one of them said "It looks like a fat emu!"
And I responded with "It kind of _was_ a fat emu XD"

[ghostiegoober]

The irony that the one time they made it correctly parallel to the ground.... it was upright

[Raptorworld]

From now on I will also call 'Ground Sloths' 'Elephant Bears'.
Such the best name.

[bewilderbeastie]

This dinosaur is weird as shit, I love it.

Also, THE FLOOF.

[mercilessmoop]

You had me at the bit where you corrected "advanced" to "derived."

Truly a man after my own heart.

[UnaPinata]

that has to be the cutest entrance yet.

[pixelfox]

YOU DID DANGER FLOOF!

The bizarre group of really odd features slapped together into one animal makes Therizinosaurus one of my personal favorites.

[dinnychu]

Speaking of a "giant ground sloth" niche, the therezinosaur Nothronychus actually means "sloth claw".

[evelynlamoy]

I love the all yesterdays Therizinosaurus depiction. They had it heavily feathered, so that with its more upright stance, they seemed almost robed in black feathers, and they had given them a long prehensile tongue and that them stretching their heads and tongues up to feed on leaves. Stretching entirely with the neck instead of the theory some people had about its claws being used to pull branches.

[amazinglyidiotic]

Something I like to imagin the Therizinosaurus using its claws for was marking territory. If you look at lions, bears and other large predatory animals, they do this. I could see this animal using its claws for marking ones feeding grounds.

I really don’t know how these videos are popular. This is the kind of content that YouTube needs. It’s a masterpiece with wonderful detail and animations

[cheyennepepper]

There is something really charming and kinda cute about him, is that just me? I like how they edit these in a way where we get to see his thought process, he’s very real and decisive in the way he speaks and articulates. The bloopers at the end are great 😂

[snrincognito]

Please do a whole episode on where feathers came from, and why, and when, and how.

[pedroc]

"Anything that makes it more likely for a creature to mate gets passed down so... don't discount the fluffiness". Such a great sentence xDDD
