In this video, we uncover 11 jaw-dropping cases of fossil mix-ups, bizarre reconstructions, and decades-long scientific feuds — plus the hilarious, weird, and downright shocking truths that replaced them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA RUN RUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! 6:12 the therizinosaurus left a bad inpressin in my mind from ark
guys.. hes for real hes coming RUN 10:40
I've said it for years, archeologist just make crap up and call it
✨️ science ✨️
They literally turned dinosaurs' arms 180°. Then they decided to give them feathers after about 50-ish years.
10:35 why is nobody talking abt this part???😭
Neanderthal interbreeding is the cause of wisdom teeth and their issues. If you didn't grew no wisdom teeth or didn't grow all 4 or needed some removed then you have less DNA than someone who has all 4 and didn't need them removed.
Neanderthals had those extra teeth and the larger jaw to support them without needing to be removed.
The ones who suggested the "giraffe for fish" idea. Who tf let them be scientists? Man is it this easy? Just declare yourself a scientist and boom you're one now yourself? Even in their age it should've been so damn clear that evolution is about one thing only, efficiency. It's so damn oriented towards efficiency that it doesn't even bother removing useless parts first.
Let me give this creature the ability to fish using its neck as a damn pole. If anything those monkeys are the reason why humanity isn't an interplanetary species yet.
Calling them simple reptiles kinda erks me. 😅
Did you know cuttlefish use skin strobos light disco to confuse prey?
Anything is possible.
Bones just shoe us that… Bones.
The (non turtle) Therizinosaurus look like a giant feathery sloth
is the editing ai?
