"We are much closer in time to a T-Rex than a T-Rex was to a Stegosaurus"
That really put things in perspective for how massive a time span dinosaurs were around

5:03 him saying "godstiddies asks:" is so insane

[JOJO-ydqs]

He seems like a genuinely nice person to be around. No wonder he has a dinosaur named after him.

[MemekingJag]

the way his eyes dart around the camera when he's talking about something he's interested in is adorable, like he's not just speaking to the camera but all the cast and crew as well :3

[berouja]

The way his eyes lighted up when he mentioned that a dinosaur was named after him is so precious 👌✨

5:22 "We are much closer in time to a T-Rex, than the T-rex was to a Stegosaurus."

To me, that is one of the coolest facts ever. The timescale we are talking about is mindboggling.

PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED A WHOLE SERIES WITH THIS LOVELY KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN! HE IS A DELIGHT!!!

[waywardgoddess]

The only peeve about this video is that it's WAY too short! He is very entertaining, knowledgeable, and easy to listen to!

[Sashimiburger]

I love how idiotic some of these questions are phrased only to be met with a wonderfully eloquent and insightful answer.

[dudebroman-nikw]

"Since when were pterodactyls not dinosaurs?"

"Since ever" That is probably one of the greatest answers

[CleanYourRoomOrElse]

I love that he doesn’t rip the movie apart but acknowledges that it was for entertainment. Something I don’t understand why people don’t get. If it’s a documentary it should be fact. A movie? Pure fun and entertainment.

[queercandy]

the "cw//dinosaurs" is absolutely killing me

[divaalfirman]

The biggest mystery is how this man is able to say read all these ridiculous Twitter handles out loud with a straight face 😂😂

[kefkaZZZ]

Can we PLEASE get more of this guy!!!
He answers what sound like telling questions with real enthusiasm.
I love how he doesn’t flinch at names like “godstiddies” or several other funny ones.

[koselig]

if this man has grandkids im sure they love hearing his storytelling. he seems like a great guy and you can see how happy he is to discuss his passion.

[playingindies]

I like how it's visible that Hans actually loves talking about this stuff. You guys should invite him more often.

[HaraldinChina]

the way he factually states "the world is a sphere" makes you feel like he's heard even weirder statements before and this is just another misconception he corrects 😅

[GREYFLWRMUSIC]

10:09 also really important to mention: Not every dinosaur became a fossil. In fact, fossilization is such a delicate process that we probably lost far far far more species than we have discovered, sadly.

[Chanelle]

5:03 the way I just bark-laughed when he read “godstiddies”

[VandNana]

I always cry when I watch these videos because I'd love to be as passionate about my profession as these people are.
