The Jurassic Period is the second of three periods of the Mesozoic Era that extended from 201.3 million to 145 million years ago.

During this time, colossal dinosaurs were making their mark in a big way, mysterious marine reptiles ruled the oceans, and the skies were adorned with the majestic flight of prehistoric creatures.

    You'll be happy to hear that walking with dinosaurs is doing another series of walking with dinosaurs. I can't wait to see when it comes out. I guess the success of prehistoric planet inspired them to come back and redo some of the originals and with the new information that we now have along with more dinosaurs than ever.
  • @griffin5779
    The cat commercial at the start was seriously causing me to rethink my idea of the Jurassic
  • @user-gw4rz7mk7q
    My favorite period. These are dinosaurs I learned about as a kid. The farting dino cartoon was so funny. Great job as always.
  • @Idiopathogen
    55 million years. That’s a long time. I wonder what their life span was? How many generations of T. rex over that period. Absolutely mind blowing.
  • Sooo happy this popped up on my feed!!! I am really looking forward to watching all your videos 😊
  • @jacobmyers8878
    Remember that time moved quickly through history than they understandand , this is a young earth , 200 years it took to go from buggies to jet's
  • @user-om9gk4wl3t

  • @alecuwu6484
    I never felt so invested in a documental before, since I was a kid I've loved dinosaurs and this video reminded me of my chilhood!! Amazing video 🤩
  • @sdarms111doug9
    I enjoyed this video very much, quite interesting. Thank you for posting it!
  • @Mountain8ear
    The stegosaurus spikes are called thagamizers. We can't leave out such an absolutely metal dinosaur fact.
  • @johnshields6852
    Since the begining, many creatures have lived in harmony with nature, like today's animals, then we came along, harmony out the window, pave it over.
  • I always wonder if dinosaurs hadn’t gone extinct, would T-Rex’s arms have gotten more proportionate to his body? If it had another 5, 10 million years to evolve more?
  • @bigskunk801
    There’s no doubt fred flintstone ate really good.
