  • Thats fuckin awesome!!

  • I hate this person's voice...

  • it looks like ant!

  • so COOL!

  • oh this is cool

  • Why would anyone think an x-ray would be able to see insects in amber in the first place? There's no bones

  • well, they have an exoskeleton, so that counts as bone too :)

  • Not when it comes to conventional xrays it doesn't.

  • there are many different (infinite) frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, you just have to tune it in the right one to see less dense materials. ask any physicist.

  • stop making chain messanges

  • you mean utah raptor, anyways, what's with the negative marks, heh, weird.

  • THE VOICE IS BACK, AARRGH!!

    KILL IT WITH FIRE

    or harpoons

  • i vote her the most annoying voice ever

  • Clearly you've never heard Rosie Perez.

  • i just did and it is nothing like this bitch

  • Wow. I'd rather listen to anyone than Perez. Even Hitler :|

  • Hitler had quite a amusing voice as famously quoted if played backwards sounds like daffy duck.

  • Bring back the dinosaurs? Please?

  • Cant. Havent you seen Jurassic Park? A super predator like a dinosaur could do serios damage if it got loose. Even if it never did we'd still have to feed it a massive amount.

  • hmm I'm wondering if they can compare bird and reptile DNA and slowly piece together DNA fragments of the mighty T Rex...But I doubt they have such fragments, though I think they may have a few fragments of other animals from preserved mosquitos...

    But with all their knowledge on evolution maybe they can make a T Rex *prays*

    WE NEED SOME CRAZY SCIENTISTS!

  • No we dont. If something like a t rex was recreated can you imagine the potential for destruction? They died out for a reason you know. If something like that got loose it would totally destroy any ecosystem it got into.

  • With the air thinning out as it has as the earth grows i highly doubt a t-rex would survive for very long or perhaps more accurately would run out of breath chasing you.

    Also a creature of its size could only eat 1-3 humans a day before getting full and as most big animals would look for more suitable pray such as cows.

  • Like snakes of today very large animals tend to eat one large meal less frequent while smaller predators feed more often.

    A animal like a t-rex would most likely hunt a elephant or a cow depending on where it popped into existence and that would be sufficient for some time like a snake that would eat a dear and not eat again for many months.

  • Jerry: the spelling error in your comment proves an important point in my argument: the (mis)use of the word dear. Need I point out that having these animals loose on a continent would make city walls nessicary and prevent people from going outside them without a fair amount of weaponry , as humans on their own are fairly slow and can't really fight back against a dinosaur. Also, any livestock would literally be sitting ducks.

  • That is indeed true but no more true if you were to walk in the middle of a jungle or forrest full of these wild animals. Such a thing may require walls but it is more likely we would live in cities which to any animal would be a terrifying prospect though i do agree that once you left the City it would be rather dangerous though i would be fine living in sunny Scotland no reptile can survive the cold here though it may not be fully known if Dinosaurs were cold blooded.

  • Dude: Carniverous dinosaurs hunted animals that shook the earth when the walked. They once lived in some pretty surprising climates though, granted, none as inhospitable as scotland. (sorry) . Anyways, lots of modern animals live right alongside us in cities, like foxes and hawks. I really doubt that a dinosaur would avoid a city out of fear alone.I wouldnt trust it. These animals literally ruled the earth, if we bring them back maybe they will again. And that wont be good for us.

  • Well that i do agree with as it was very possible that raptors would have been in our place as pack hunters that would appear to have been greatly focused.

  • Yes, I agree that raptors probably hunted in packs. They were pretty smart too. I'd hate to have to deal with one of them!

  • It's not the one that is in front of you i would be worried about, its the other 30 behind you. And raptors where not them little things in Jurassic park as most species where ether chicken size or closer to t-rex sized.

  • Uhhh.. you do know the velociraptors in JP were at least twice the size of a real velociraptor, right?... But yeah, they did get bigger than that.

  • Yep i believe i tried to make that clear that the movie ones were ether too big or too small depending on movie. The velociraptors in question where designed to make a "Alien" type adversary that would be dangerous.

  • Another example of Hollywood ruining it for the rest of us.

  • No the movie does what it says on the tin.

    Dinosaur monsters eating people for entertainment.

    Not documentary about dinosaurs brought into a modern world setting under a cataclysm event.

    There for as a movie it has to have good guys the audience can relate to and bad guys the audience can relate to. T-rex though one of the main antagonists just didn't hit home the same as the raptors because unlike t-rex you can't hide from the raptors.

  • Couldnt have said it better myself

  • I will apologize about spelling and grammar however i can not be bothered to use my textmate for youtube comments i have to hear her (and excuse my language) damn voice every time i have to do a University assignment.

  • Is that it???/

    What a cock tease!!!!

  • Its been said before... but they need to get someone who can speak. She sounds retarded.

  • Yayyy. :)

  • interesting , shame about the women reading

  • This is bullshit lol every1 knows earth is 3000 years old only. LOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • No, the Earth is 157 years old. Look up the 12 tenets of Kifflom.

  • You are all wrong! The world is only fifty years old! It did not exist before I was born... you are all figments of my imagination, and I need a drink.

  • Well...I guess I can't argue with that.

  • Neat

  • How old is that ant-like creature?

  • Really? You haven't put that on like every video, you should keep posting it.

  • God put these fossils there to fool all you silly atheists! You fools!

    haha sorry, I couldn't resist. I am ofcourse joking.

  • That. Is amazing. Where can I get one of those scanners?

    ...Best Buy?

  • Try Bestest Buy.

  • yeah and they sell also a nuclear reactor, plutonium bars included!

  • I betcha it would cost you thousands of dollars.

  • I love these lil segments (atleast some of them), but i hate how quick they are

  • I still don't understand where she got that accent lol. I can't place it not even a little lol

    Great video:)

  • nice

  • I for one welcome our new insect overlords and would like to point out how useful I could be in rounding up others to work in their sugar mines

  • simpsons?

  • Thunderpants you will be grouped with the aphids and used as food during lean times!

  • lol prehistoric ants. What this video doesn't show you is that those ants are bigger than you.

  • nah not bigger then human but probebly of cats size at least :D

  • Amazing

  • Absolutely amazing!
