Look what we did guys, we scared Julia away. :(

Misleading title. Also blazed pinkeye 4 20

Are Scientists Resurrecting the brontosaurus? now the title is Why The Brontosaurus Is Making A Comeback - Nice quick change of a title

[Xandir]

Honestly, I can't believe how many people are upset because they were expecting this video to be about literally bringing a dinosaur back to life. Brontosaurus = dinosaur long accepted as never actually existing; "resurrecting the brontosaurus" = bringing back the idea that it may have actually existed. The meaning of the title seemed quite clear, imho.

Misleading title. It implies that they are somehow bringing the dinosaur back to life or
something when in reality it's just the scientific classification that is being referred to.

I didn't even know that Brontosaurus was gone.

I love how Crystal said, "Ya know, because science literacy's not really a thing in this country." 1:34 - 1:38

[dylerturden]

Dude i'm 7 years late to this, can't believe they made the mad lad real

[howardxing]

brontosaurus don't live in water since they are dinos which are terestrial animals

[AlagomSwede]

By the way, if anyone has problems remembering the biological taxonomy:
Good. Sex.
You'll never forget it again!

[Xenophene]

Click bait. I really thought I was going to witness a real Jurassic Park

[dawnwayfinder]

"Brontosaurus"?
I've been calling it "Brak-ee-oh"saurus and never bothered to learn the proper name! XD

[rubikfan]

tumb up, if you though this video was about tranfering dna of brontosaurus into living beeings, like they wanted to do with mamout.

[supertowedplushsquad]

I only dislike because I thought they were actually going to bring one to life, finally and solve our hunger issues. thanks for the tease :)

[TitanChief]

Wow wow wow hold on, 0:50 did you just say giant lizards because maybe I didn't hear it correct for about ten times in a row. Sorry to disappoint you but dinosaurs were not reptiles stand alone lizards, heck you even did a video a long time ago about how birds are the modern day equivalents of dinosaurs.
I'm sorry but it really makes me angry when someone who should know better, says they are lizards.

[TheShyRage]

Who else was expecting some wacky cloning machine?

[epicnerd]

It bugs me that you said giant lizards.

Man! I thought some Jurassic Park shit was about to pop off, and they're just talking about the name coming back. I was just about to go to Pet co and scoop me a leash and buy a pet Brontosaurus.

Dammit, and here I was rooting for a real life Jurassic Park.
