  • Hey there and welcome to Life Noggin.

  • Everything that you have been taught about dinosaurs is completely wrong!

  • Well, that’s not entirely true, but there are quite a few things that our palaeontologist

  • friends have been getting wrong.

  • Let’s take a closer look at what the dinosaurs were really like.

  • Just don't get too close to the T-Rex, I heard he hasn't eaten in awhile.

  • Calm down, Rexy.

  • Awww, who's a good boy!

  • Speaking of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, take a second and picture the big, scary carnivore

  • in your mind.

  • Those large, sharp teeth.

  • Those snake-like scales.

  • Pretty scary right?

  • Well, it turns out that Rexy here and most of the other dinosaurs probably had feathers.

  • Scientists have recently found a new species of dinosaur, known as Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus,

  • which has led them to theorize that feathers were most likely a characteristic of not just

  • birds, but all dinosaurs.

  • This is because our new dino friend was anornithischianbeaked dinosaur, which

  • is distinct from past feathered dinosaurs that were of the theropod group.

  • See, Rexy-boy isn’t so scary when he looks just looks like a big chicken!

  • Not only did the T-Rex probably have feathers, but his ams weren’t as puny as you might

  • think.

  • T-Rex arms may seem small in comparison to how big their bodies are, but their arms were

  • still theorized as being over twice the strength of the strongest human arm based off of a

  • study in the 90s.

  • I’d love for scientists to look into this even more!

  • Until then, I’d still be more worried about Rexy wanting to treat you like a piece of

  • homo sapien bacon, but I wouldn’t challenge one to an arm wrestling match.

  • That goes for you too, Lou Ferrigno!

  • Not even the Hulk could beat a T-Rex.

  • But there’s another animal that the Jurassic Park films made quite a bit more intimidating

  • than they actually had been; the Velociraptor.

  • Not only did they most likely also have feathers, but modern movies have led you to believe

  • that these speedy little predators were as tall as humans.

  • In reality, they were only about as tall as a medium sized dog, or about half a meter.

  • You probably still wouldn’t want to keep one as a pet, but I think Chris Pratt would

  • have seemed far less impressive up against these smaller raptors.

  • Speaking of things that the Jurassic Park movies got wrong, it’s now believed that

  • dinosaurs didn’t have that terrifying roar that you hear in the movies.

  • While that may have been a great way for Steven Spielberg to make the dinosaurs even scarier,

  • they most likely cooed or quacked like a duck.

  • Some believe that they may have also grumbled like a crocodile, but not the immense roar

  • that sounds like an over-exaggerated lion.

  • Many scientists also believe that the dinosaurs probably didn’t die out because of the impact

  • of a giant asteroid.

  • It most likely played a large role, but it was just part of what led us to not seeing

  • dinosaurs on our morning jogs.

  • The impact of an asteroid surely would have killed the dinosaurs in the immediate vicinity.

  • However, for the rest of the dinosaurs, their decline was far more gradual due to other

  • effects of the asteroid like lack of food as vegetation withered away because of the

  • layer of ash that blackened the sky.

  • It’s also thought that because of things like changing climates, sea level fluctuations,

  • and volcanic activity, the populations of dinosaurs were already on the decline before

  • the asteroid even hit.

  • All of this together makes it pretty probable that it all wasn’t over super quickly.

  • So did any of this surprise you?

  • Do you think well learn even more about our dino friends in the future?

  • And what’s your favorite dinosaur?

  • Let me know in the comments below!

  • If bringing dinosaurs back from the dead sounds interesting to you, think again!

  • Let’s explore the pros and cons of bringing back extinct animals in this video.

  • Make sure you come back every Monday for a brand new video.

  • As always, I’m Blocko and this has been Life Noggin.

  • Don’t forget to keep on thinking!
