Had the chance to see Dakota's display a few years ago, and it is one of the most beautiful specimens imo.

We have a new video out! Kinda fell into a rabbit hole about lost continents, and decided to make it into something. So here's 30 minutes about Gondwanaland. See here: youtu.be/QoBc_h2SuII
Thumbnail image for 'Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong's' latest video about Gondwanaland. It feature two halves of a globe facing one another, each with their own landmass highlighted. The landmasses represent lost continents. Between them appears the text "lost gondwana-lands".

HEY! Heard of 'Why Dinosaurs?' It's a great doc. made by a father & son, exploring paleontology and its influence on popular culture. They interview paleontologists, museum workers, film workers, and others with a deep love for dinosaurs. And now it's FREE to watch! So check it out. Links below.

IT'S HERE! We have a new video! This time around, we take a deep dive on Deinocheirus, the hunchbacked mega goose. youtu.be/Kye28-iEHpo
Thumbnail for the video 'Dinocheirus - The Hunchbacked Mega Goose' from Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong. It features a large, cartoon Deinocheirus looming over a smaller line of more inaccurate ones. The line is made up of several silhouettes of incorrect versions of the animal, with the toy used in the episode sitting at the end of it.

In a world full of complicated problems and bad news, it's good to once in a while do something that's simply nice - such as draw dinosaurs and share them with others. Miragaia and Kentrosaurus, approximately to scale with each other and the 180 cm tall human silhouette.
Illustration of two dinosaurs on a yellow background, with a human silhouette for scale. The dinosaurs are Miragaia and Kentrosaurus, herbivores with plates and spines on their back and tail.

Hey! We have a new video out. We originally cut a segment from our Quetzalcoatlus episode, and decided to make it its own thing. We look at the long history of researching and debating Pterosaur fluff! Pterosaur Fuzz - A History of Splitting "Hairs" youtu.be/6eij6NikRIA
The thumbnail for the video "Pterosaur Fuzz - A History of Splitting "Hairs" ". It features the Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong mascot, Bertrand, wearing a collared shirt and tie in front of an evidence board filled with papers and images of feathers or fluff with strings running between them all as a riff on the 'Pepe Silvia' scene from 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. Next to him in large, pink letters is the phrase, "They're all feathers".
