Forget the movie monsters: real dinosaurs were far more complex
In short: Move over Jurassic Park. New fossil evidence and advanced technology are revealing that dinosaurs were not just lumbering beasts, but intelligent, well-adapted animals with sophisticated behaviors.
Palaeontologist Dave Hone explains that we are currently in a golden age of discovery. By using tools like CT scanning and AI-based analysis, scientists are rewriting the history of prehistoric life, uncovering animals that are far more spectacular than previous portrayals suggested.
The video explores the specific behaviors of iconic species, including how the T. rex, velociraptors, and Triceratops hunted, fought, and cared for their young. It also addresses long-standing debates, such as whether the Spinosaurus was truly aquatic and the mechanics of how pterosaurs achieved flight.
