Let us know in the comments which dinosaur is your favorite!

Uhh, most paleontologist agree at this point that dinosaurs were most likely warm blooded, and they certainly are not reptiles in the manner we think of them. They were not just big lizards.
Also, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus are not the same animal.
Come on, y’all are usually good at fact checking.

[ARIXANDRE]

I love it when you guys tackle real life subjects instead of just pop culture. Congrats!

[jerosaurus]

Just a little correction at 4:05, the dinosaur shown in Jurassic Park is not a Diplodocus but a Brachiosaurus!

[rgio]

3:54 that sauropod in the "Welcome to Jurassic Park" scene is actually a Brachiosaurus. Diplodocus does not appear in the JP franchise at all.

[waspsting]

Not gonna lie. Got a little triggered when they confused diplodocus and Brachiosaurus as the same animal. Diplodocus wasn't in ANY Jurassic Park movie. Please double check your facts.

I feel like this video should have been titled "Top 10 Mesozoic Paleontology Discoveries" Cause there's been important paleontological discoveries outside of that period. "Lucy" the australopithecus, one of the human ancestors should have been on this list

[Xnaut]

Because the entire field of paleontology consists of only the Mesozoic era, right? There are great and awe-spiring fossils from before and after the time of dinosaurs too, you know!

I love how the thumbnail is a marine reptile skeleton and the title is the greatest dinosaurus discoverys

[pedroportillo]

I would of added the discovery of “Sue”, the most complete T-Rex ever discovered.

[Peg__]

My favorite is "Sue" the T-Rex. I'm glad I visited South Dakota when Sue was at home. It was cool to see the discovering team at work and a town that adores Sue.

[enderethan]

I feel like the Velociraptor and the Protoceratops locked in combat was by far the best discovery ever

[chucky]

That scene is Jurassic Park is a Brachiosaurus, not Diplodocus

[LandBeforeTime]

Finally, another Dinosaur series from Watchmojo and it’s been a while seeing Watchmojo come up with their top ten dinosaur series ever since 2019 and it was so nostalgia in my eyes.
Great video and keep it up.

“THIS IS THE MEGALOSAURUS!”

[DAVIDPETERSC]

Always great whenever Robert Bakker explains dinos.

"...Earth used to be warmer, which enabled cold blooded reptiles to get to much larger sizes..."

[laughs in already huge crocodiles enjoying the warming planet]

[ChristoAbrie]

Diplodocus was one of the longest dinos ever known, Brachiosaurus is one of the tallest and largest land animals ever known. Parasaurolophus (the one with the huge crest-shaped bone on it's head) was the first dino to be discovered as being both bipedal (walking on 2 legs) and quadropedal (walking on 4 legs)
