Spinosaurs are a topic I have actively avoided talking about for years. For one big reason, Spinosaurus is probably one of the most fought about topics in Paleontology! It seems like what we think we know about these animals changes at least every six months!

Many other content creators have agreed with me that because of this consistent change, as well as how much Spinosaurus fans like to fight about it, that it just isn't worth the headache to talk about this group of Theropods.

(I attempted to warn Clint's Reptiles to avoid talking about this, so he responded by making an in depth video about the Phylogeny of this family...)

But anyway, a new species of Spinosaur was recently described! So I decided this seems like a good time to go against my better judgment and join the fight by making my first Spinosaurid video!

    Paleo Analysis in 50 years... Breaking news! Spinosaurus was an flying primate with laser eyes
  • I feel like we're gonna find out Spinosaurus had wheels for feet, and the back, and tail were for steering their jetpacks.
  • Ah Spinosaurus has a new patch. I have lost track on how many we had this year already.
  • @ClintsReptiles
    Glad to have you back! I think you should set the comments on 🔥🔥🔥

    My theory, which is mine, about the spinosaurus, which I am about to say, is this: the spinosaurus is flat on one end, bulges in the middle, and is flat on the other end but in a different way than the front.

    YOURE BACK! I MISSED YOUR VIDEOS! Welcome back @PaleoAnalysis
  • @amayakawaii
    Right when I needed something to relax me and went looking for a Paleo analysis rewatch binge, this appears! Hooray! 🎉🎉
  • @LazyChillZone
    Okay, so I had my SUV stolen this week, and I was having the worst week, and then bam you come back, and I'm smiling.
  • @donohirst
    When the graphic "why are they like this?" came up, after tim Tim saying it made his head hurt made me think the they you were referring to was the community arguing over spinosauridae! So glad you're back dude...

    Glad to see you sailing onwards. The video was very nice. You were one of the creators (way back over a year ago) that got me back into my lost fascination with the prehistoric. Godspeed.
  • I can't wait for another Earth history episode. The Mesozoic Era, here we come.
  • Spiny can’t wait to see this. He’s my TimTim. Edit: Thanks for the shoutout
  • Welcome back! You are one of my favorite content providers. Plus, a week before my birthday perfect.
  • Glad to have you back! Hope you feel good enough to get back into the groove. Your videos are so engaging and make learning addictive. 😊

    Been missing your content. Welcome back!

    Allow me to congratulate you on this masterful rendition of the debate! Your sound approach is the very reason I am a subscriber to your channel - even if the released videos come at a pace of a 'minute', a geological one, that is. I remember the video by "Clint's reptiles" and the crew, to which I'm also subscribed and wanted to express my appreciation of you mentioning other content creators and giving them credit for their work; Although it should be the standard, today it's the hallmark of a great man. Please, keep up your precious work and never change!

    My 3 year old is so excited you made a Spinosaurus video. He loves them and its a great example I use for how our knowledge and understanding of things can change as we become more intelligent and find new data. Thank you for the bravery of this controversial topic
  • @Calgaryguy88
    Great to have you back! Awesome video as always! Can't wait for more.
