Diplodocus

last time.

Here we have a cast of, I want to say that's a Diplodocus Carnegiei, but it's impressive, whatever it is.

If it is a Diplodocus, it's my favorite of the sauropods.

And this is just the whole thing around there.

There's more prehistoric vernal over there.

I'm making a video and I meant to take a picture.

This probably, this tells you just how big this thing is.

Diplodocus.

And yeah, some have likened behemoths to a sauropod because it does say that it's a plant-eating animal that can nest within the lotus and kind of disappear within it.

So they think of sauropods like Brachiosaurus or Diplodocus and Leviathan.

Like one of these, I mean, I've heard Joshua talk about Kronosaurus as a very monstrous creature.

sea monster or sakosukos which are of course all extinct now but yeah it's it's part of the reason why some people would go on to date the book of job as being very old um because perhaps there are still some of these descendants of these monstrous creatures that were still surviving at the time when the book was written so much so that at least they know what they are talking about when they say leviathan they know what they are talking about when they say behemoth even though for us today those are lost imageries and we really don't have any animals called behemoths or leviathan still existing today

Oh, I meant to take a picture and I'm getting a video.

It is indeed Diplodocus.

Um, so this is, has changed since 10 years ago, of course, simply because, but wouldn't.

They were redoing some of it.

You all know sauropods.

Sauropods are like Brachiosaurus, Al- uh, Diplodocus, uh, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Mamenchisaurus, uh, Myfeetersaurus.

My feet are sore? Oh, yeah, my shoes don't fit.

[laughs] Get it? Myfeetersaurus.

You see, I've, I, again, I s- I know I repeat myself, but a lot of times some listeners just started listening.

Scientists put animals into family groups, and they start off with a really big group, and then from the big group they break it down into things that are similar into smaller and smaller groups.

So for instance, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Dreadnoughtus are all members of the sauropod family.

But then we break them down into smaller categories or smaller groups.

Throw some names at me.

So we've got the Diplodocus,

we've got Brachiosaurus, we've got Apatosaurus, we've got Argentinosaurus, and the list can go on and on and on.

Why have none of them got easy names like Bob, Fred? I

Well, the cool thing is they've now found it.

So they've now started to dig it up.

And so we actually have a new skeleton now of Diplodocus from Dinosaur National Monument.

And this is a really cool long-necked dinosaur.

Yes, yeah.

And they find themselves in a cavern filled with bones, fossils, and mummies, which include several prehistoric species such as a Diplodocus femur and a Triceratops carapace and many other things.

And the one dude just casually picks up that Diplodocus femur and I'm like, how strong is this guy? Because that thing's huge.

Yeah,

exactly.
