The Day the Dinosaurs Died – Minute by Minute

DISCOVER ANCIENT WORLDS

Sources & further reading:

66 million years ago, maybe on a Tuesday afternoon, life was the same as it had been the day before or a thousand years before or pretty much a million years before. Things were good for our feathered dinosaur buddies. Until a tiny, tiny detail in the sky changed.

Because you guys support us directly we are able to grow our team, consistently improve our research process, spend more time on fine-tuning the animations, working on improving our craft wherever possible. And release our content for free and stay independent. Genuinely thank you so much for that.

So they finally normalised the word "yeet"

[High_Key]

It really makes me sad that we will never get to witness such an amazing species of animal. These dinosaurs lived for hundreds of millions of years, and it took one day to change all of that. The fact that we came back from that truly is incredible. I kind of shed a tear for the dinosaurs on this video.

[marias]

That literally made me cry. And the narrator was saying “but that’s not even the worst part…” and i’m like HOW??? HOW CAN IT GET WORSE????

[AlternateHistoryHub]

Everything was good and well in the Cretaceous Era. Until it wasnt

[phantomzelpha]

90% of the animals : *dies*
Fungi : It’s showtime

[burnttoast]

The fact that there were still some forms of life that survived after that catastrophe is mind-blowing

[gabiausten]

04:26 How shady the Dino on the left looked at his friend, just falling into the abyss…he like, ,Well Josh, we all saw it coming.“

[taran]

Dino 1 - Look a shooting star! Quick make a wish!
Dino 2 - Hope we all die lol
Dino 1 - Haha ~
Dino 1 - *Bro it looks kinda close*

[mrmbada]

This is the first time this struck me as a tragedy rather than a data point.

[thewannamin]

2:17 When he said "Let's stop time", my curiosity went to the climax. Plus, animation and BG theme are so good.

[rawrsomevideos]

We are a kids dinosaur Youtube channel and this is one of our favourite videos, it's just so amazing to think life still survived after this.

[corsijtsma]

Never thought I would hear Kurtzgezagt say: "yeeted into space"

[cactuskaktus]

The world: has basically ended
Fungi: fuck yeah

[robpaterson]

This is really well animated and I never knew the extinction of dinosaurs could be so sad 😢

[GrayAvian]

5:25 "A lot of the debris *yeeted* into space.." I've never seen the word 'yeet' used in a professional context before and this makes me immensely happy

[bcassalino]

Normies: "Thrown into space."
Intellectuals: "Yeeted into space."

[YoshMinster]

Kurzgesagt saying "Yeeted" just woke me from thousand-year slumber

[JustinRM]

The evening my friends and I watched this on shrooms must've been my most visceral Kurzgesagt watch ever. We could physically feel the heat emanating from the TV as the fire engulfed earth. Never before have I felt so empathetic towards the dinosaurs of old, I can only imagine the pure terror they were in. Incredibly high quality production, easily one of my favourite videos from this channel ever.

[sudesh.khatri]

I always wondered what it was like when the asteroid hit earth.
