Dinosaurs of the beginning of the Jurassic period | ReYOUniverse

The Jurassic period, or the Jura, is probably the most interesting era. After watching the famous movie “The Jurrasic Park”, an average person might think that the Earth was populated only by dinosaurs, like T-rex. In fact, it wasn't quite like that even though the Jurassic period is also known as the Age of Reptiles.
Let's start with the statement that the Jurassic period, the second in the Mesozoic era, is long and complex. It began 201 million years ago and lasted about 56 million years. It got its name because the fossils were first discovered and explored in the Jura mountains in Switzerland and France. Hence the name of the period.
This era is divided into three stages. The first, which lasted from 201.3 to 174.1 million years ago, is called the Lower Jurassic. At that time, life was recovering from the Triassic-Jurassic extinction that caused about half of all animal species on the planet to disappear. However, the hot and humid climate of the Jura helped life to quickly bounce back. Warm oceans and seas abounded with Ammonoidea, Belemnitida, fish and reptiles. On land, reptiles including dinosaurs quickly filled the ecological niches freed by the previous extinction. In the process of evolution, some reptiles got wings and flew into the sky.
The beginning of the Jurassic period launched the high time for reptiles. Hundreds of dinosaur species appeared on the planet. They settled on all continents, including Antarctica. Some reached incredible sizes and proportions. Some, of course, developed formidable shapes, sometimes bizarre and scary. What are the mysteries of the prehistoric reptiles that lived on Earth 200 million years ago?

The CGI in this is amazing! The artists behind them deserve a huge round of applause... 🦖🐉🐊🐍🦎

I don’t know why this hour old video was recommended to me but I’m glad it was.

[mikeholt]

This video goes far more deeply into and presents a vast array of creatures from a relatively short period of prehistoric time. Most other videos are subjects of relatively known reptiles but this vid introduces many examples of prehistoric life of which I was unfamiliar plus their evolutionary histories. The longer I watched this video the more it became like a book I couldn’t put down!

[williamjordan]

Dinosaurs' ancestors weren't archosaurs in the sense the two groups are separate. Dinosaurs WERE a type of archosaur.

Enjoyed the use of Frightening and monstrous! Also the narrators use of the English vocabulary is refreshing and fantastic. Excellent Narration; very informative piece.

"The crustaceous period"
That is too funny.

[krisharms]

What a trip. History of the world till now makes the head spin!

[Nishkid]

Another great documentary with not cutting to the parts of paleontologists or scientists explaining things.

[OverItAll]

I love these types of videos. Keep up the great work.

"Archosaurs" refers to the entire grouping of crocodilians, non-avian dinosaurs, theropod dinosaurs (including birds). Saying that any of these groups descended from archosaurs is saying that these groups descended from themselves, which is impossible. "Archosaur" is a collective noun including all those groups.

[orrencarter]

A lot of these dinosaurs featured weren’t even from the Jurassic Period such as Tyrannosaurus, Mononykus, and Hatzegopteryx.

I’m so happy that this video gives an all-round tour of many types of life, such as plants, insects and other overlooked niches! That’s very rare, so thank you for that!

[Connect_Amol]

Great work by cameraman who shoot all this alongside Dinosaur..
But I like watching such videos and thanks YouTube for recommendation.

[maud]

Well done! All of these videos mix well together and the narration is excellent. YOu've got a new subscriber 🙂

[hocultcha]

they always show dinosaurs running through grasses, but there were no grasses back then. just lots of ferns and related species.

[pf-e]

this is one of those gems that you wish it was longer..well done

[HighDiver]

The study of history makes me realize how young the Human Race is. It’s amazing

[astridvvv]

I love your channel and I'm so grateful that:

1) I came across it
2) it's regularly updated and kept current with new, high quality content

For anyone familiar with the "horse girl anesthetic" meme,
I was a dinosaur girl throughout the entirety of my childhood and have carried that fascination ever since. Lately I've

myself indulging that sense curiosity to an especially frequent degree.

I've found myself utterly obsessed by topics relating to the history of life on Earth


a real scarcity of high quality, long-form content on

[andrewpaige]

I’m only 10min+ in, and aside from the irritating “Jura”, which probably no one has ever called it, at least in recent times, and I’m betting there’s a good chance it was made up here, this video is all over the place! I keep having to replay parts cause I’m sure I’m mishearing, but I’m not! So much stuff contradicts itself on here, usually in the following sentences, and some stuff is just absolute nonsense factually, and also just as far as making sense verbally! I’m gonna watch it thruough out of curiosity, but I’m sure I’ll hafta actually update this comment to add to my astonishment of the videos “quality content”.

[WayneRogersOutdoors]

“The crustaceous period.“ 😅 I think they meant the Cretaceous, but that is hilarious! 4:18 it’s a really good idea to thoroughly proofread before you have your AI render text to speech
