  • It should be called a Negrosaurus, so as not offend anyone. Oops --- peoples would still be offended. OK, so call it a black-o-saurus or an Afrosaurus, or just a "saurus from da hood."

  • Racism should be a crime, and crime is for black people.

  • how come it's not black?

  • omg, the name ain't racist ya stupid fucks.

  • Comment removed

  • Niger-saurus?

  • Like who finds new dinosaurs? No one! AWESOME!

  • I named my Nigersaurus Shaquille O'Neal

  • Alternative view of evolution see video book trailer

  • This was one of the articles on my ACT test at school.....I was obviously pronouncing this dinosaur's name wrong;) lol

  • UP BUTT, COCONUT!

  • Some idiots below me.

  • Nigersaurus lol

  • What the hell is wrong with all the people posting? Niger is a country in Africa and pronounced 'Ny-jur' or in French 'Ny-jay'. Notice only ONE 'g' thus the 'e' making the 'i' long? It is NOT pronounced as the racial slur 'nigger' is (which has two 'g's'). You ignorant posters who just want to use the 'N' word and think it's funny need to learn English and get a life at the same time.

  • that nigger saurus obviously was wearing grills

  • @prototype615h fuckin retard

  • even the dinosaurs hated this nigger thats why there arent very many...silly niggers

  • Scary looking thing.

  • Woahh

  • wow just the mention of niger and all yu racists ruin the moment. fall of a cliff losers.

  • @svolgasts It's a simple joke. No one started calling people that. Calm down. It might have been wrong to mention it but it's not worth loss of life. I know you were just making a point but no need to get up in a tantrum over it.

  • @Drake14161337 thertes no point in replying to such a placid comment, how many people who watch this vid will end up falling off a cliff. and fyi take a look two comments below my first, it says "niggersaurus" and whoever that ignorant bastard is, may he fall off a cliff one day... just shut the fuck up and stop being such a condescending bastard... im smart enogh to have a interest in a video like when i couldve been watchin some shark tear a girls leg off so pay me my due respect and stfu

  • @svolgasts You sure are violent. Hate to bump into you in real life.

    And again, you're getting into a tantrum. I did all I could to leave you a nice, cooperative comment and you reply back like I called you niggerasaurus.

    I agree he was rude and disrespectful but you're turning it into something violent.

  • well for the educated ones, im sure you know a country called Niger, which is in West Africa where my dad used to work as a voluntary doctor. so just stop being stupid and get educated.

  • i read: Niggersaurus xD

  • i'll bet fred flintstone mowed with one of these.

  • so is this thing a duck billed dinosaur or a sauropod?

  • @skinnywhop87 Or maybe it's the mutant offspring of both???

  • even better

    Obamasourous

    haha

  • lol

  • lol

    "... Nigersaurus was unlike any other"

    Nigger

    hehe

  • prehistoric vaccum fail

  • I would name it after dick... Dick SuckerSaurus

  • EVOLUTIONARY FAIL

  • every time i watch something like that i get the feeling, that creationists must be really brainwashed.

  • we all know it was black

  • dinosaurs lived 150 million years ago grass evolved 40 million years ago sooo ye...

  • they never mentioned grass.

  • @wickham2riverann

    Actually grass came into existence only at the end of the craterous. Nearly at the end of the dinosaurs

  • they said ferns, not grass.

  • you suck fuckkk

  • why not call it vacuumsaurus bigsuckus LOL

  • or u suck osaursus

  • hmm... doesn't have that ring to it.

  • Replacement teeth like a shark but vegan.

  • that thing is ugly

    but kind of interesting

  • ur probably uglier

  • This dinosaur is listed in Wikipedia. I had sent the link to a friend and his response was "MF!" Note its grill for a set of teeth. Did the narrator say neee-ja-sourus? Honestly, anyone seeing the name of this on Wiki would think otherwise. And before anyone yaps about it, yes I know of the African countries of Niger, Nigeria, Congo, Cameroon as I tutored mathematics to African students.

  • omg, the flintstones - its all true!

  • wish i could have i of them at home... never have to push the lawn mower again... lol

  • Government workersaurus...

  • That was a reply to a previous post about the Sahara.

  • ROFL niiiiiiice XD

  • Hahaha! I always expect ignorant fools to pipe up whenever dinosaurs are discussed, but this takes the proverbial Black Forest Gateau! RACIST!?!?! Hehehehehe! At first I didn't even get why it was thought of as racist, did someone say it lived on watermelon? It blows my mind that there are people who can use a computer but don't know that there's a nation called Niger!!!

    Shit, it was in the news for years as the supposed source of Saddams supposed uranium buying. Let me guess... American?

  • "but don't know that there's a nation called Niger!!!"

    There's two kinds of people I hate.. People who hate other people's cultures and the Nigers! Damn those pesky scammers!

  • BUT WHAT ABOUTH MY DELICIOUS PLASMA?

  • why do you assume that just because you think someone is arrogant that makes them American? You're doing the very same thing you're accusing them of...being ignorant. I'm American, and black, and I don't put down entire cultures or countries just bc of one fool.

  • *coughhypocritecough*

  • RAFIFT NAFIONAL GE-UH-GURFICK!

  • Oh god. I'm am appalled by the stupidity in these comments. Niger (pronounced "nigh jer" for those of you who fail at reading as much as you fail at Geography) is a country in Africa. I'll assume that the fossil was found in Africa. Grow up, and if you're uneducated enough to think this is racist, GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL.

  • I agree we could have an intellegent conversation over this remarkable find but instead these people choose to mindlessly argue over something as trivial as a name

  • OH...MY...FUCKING...GOD...

    Do my eyes deceive me?! An intelligent person on YouTube? THERE *IS* HOPE FOR HUMANITY AFTER ALL! :D

  • Maybe so...

  • It's a mirage. There are no intelligent people here.

  • agreed

  • ha ha ha ha

  • Well, it was found in the Sahara, and it's supposed to be a Herbivore. Which means at one point in time the Sahara had Vegetation.

  • It was the Romans who deforested the Sahara.

  • Not so...the Sahara was dry desert at 3400 BC, well before the Romans. It is now spreading south at up to 30 miles per year due to poor farming methods and deforestation

  • Ah, so the Sahara has been 'scorchio' for a few thousand years more than I thought - did the comment really deserve a 'thumbs down'?

  • racism is the epitome of ignorance and stupidity.

  • @imnotsayinmyname yeah yeah, we get it... you're a white guy who's not racist, you're one of the million fuckers that thinks he should probably get a medal and a pat on the back for coming on the internet and saying that racism is ignorant and stupid, if there's anything I can't stand more than a racist is a racist hater, they are one of the reasons racists still exist, the best way of fighting "ignorance" is by ignoring...

  • How much grass and bushes and trees were there that so many of these sauropods were, like, 20 elephants in one?!?!?!

    XD

  • I could use a dinosaur pet who vacuums for me. How much do ya think that would cost?

  • COOL!GOOD TO KNOW!DINOS RULE!:)

    thanks for the post..good to know some more educational stuff!:)

  • kfhf,jvclxchvvvvvvhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrr

    robert5

  • it looks like it's got a bone for a penis in th last moments of the vid

  • Dinosaurs, you've been gone too long :(

  • i just want to know that how mush the dinosaur have to pay when they visit the dentist

  • the name of it sounds a bit racist

    nigersaurus

  • It's a low rider, yo.

  • Also racist is the fact it has a wide stretched out mouth.

  • so do the two of you.

  • point prooved

    but whos the other guy that sounds it?

  • I think it was called the Nigersaurus cuz it was found in Niger (a place in Africa, as opposed to the racist epithet you're thinking of, which, yes, would be a really weird and bizarrely racist name for a dino).

  • @NandiniJT It said that it was named by a French paleontologist.

  • ummm... no, not really.

  • Those teeth look so cool! Its like a comb mouthed dinosaur!

  • Nice creature, small for a Sauropod, and a bit short-necked, but that makes him more special.

  • it looks like a hippo/duck/lizard

  • Adding to my previous comment ,the chinese calender has a host of animals representing each year ,well what do we make of the dragon? If all the animals in the calender are recognisable why shouldn't the dragon really exist? Or existed.(I am thinking of sauropods )Food for thought.

  • i think a lawn mower like that might rip my lawn out. O.O

  • I need to clone me one of those. My lawn mowing days would SO be over.

  • you talked like you're the most intelligent man on earth

  • Man wasn't alive 110 million years ago. Where'd you get that stupid idea? The Bible?

  • Umm.. the bible been changed so many time I doubt to believe it anymore ;3; Also, if your so religious, is it ok to call others by a foul word? XD

  • lol thats gotta be the most unintelligent religious respond i've ever heard.. and i don't have anything against religion at all.. but .. rofl

  • A year has passed.. and no one replied you.. until me :P

  • aha wow...and how did you see my comment that is over a year old...

    wow apparently every one hated what I said...:P

  • Since when were humans and dinosaurs alive at the same time?

    Earth was inactive for a very long time after dinosaurs became extinct and before humans were created.

    Humans and Dinosaurs never roamed the earth at the same time.

    Read up on your science before you make comments that sound so pretentious, hon.

  • The earth was at no time inactive since the beginning of life. Yes most of the large animals died off,  but many species survived such as therapods (birds). He was mocking the idea of man being around 110 million years ago.

  • "before humans were created"

    Probably not the best term to use when discussing this from a pro-scientific standpoint.

  • Agreed, it's out of place.

  • carbon dating is not accurate ,and isotopes may not decay at the same rate over time .

  • So you've studied chemistry to gain this perspective or are you just quoting what some bible thumper said.

  • Hello James, I would say both. Given that DNA is a program. Do a mathematical calculation of probability that your average pc could program it self in a million years,( that is, with the advantage that the pc already exists)Now I am not saying you have to believe the bible,God or anything else but as science delves deeper into nature ,the cosmos poses more questions for each one answered.

  • Thus is the nature of science and reality there will allways be more questions than answers. I would never presume to have answers and I find it distasteful when people tell me they do. However evolution has been observed I know fanatics call it micro eveolution but it is the same thing exactly following the same principles.

  • What your failing to relize is REPRODUCTION machines don't reproduce from smaller parts. If smaller parts could reproduce and organize or millions of years my computer could potentially build itself.

  • What's wrong with that. I consider the Bible truth, but have no conflicts with dinosaurs and the billions of yeas before hand.

  • yeah thats what I mean

    the first animals mentioned in the bible are Birds

    which dinosaurs are,sorta

  • haha... i like that. *high five*

  • wow if that Dinosaur lived in Devon England and ate the Fresh Famouse green Grass.

    It we might get Devonshire DinoShire Milk.

    I wonder what that would be like on our flakes in the Morning.

    

    Plz while im here could you people look at my Xmas Cartoons i made. Thankyou

  • dinosaurs didn't make milk. only mammals make milk. plus they're extinct.

    and i don't think their hypothetical milk would be very tasty. probably like goat milk. maybe a little more 'tangy'...

    you're welcome

  • youre a nice person, dont know why they gave you thumbs down but i gave you thumbs up so there

  • thats one Goofy-saurus!hahaha

  • ahah it is goofy.

  • wow a nigersaures

  • 20 THELITICUS 40:250-1,487) SHOUTED, "OH HAY LOOK A GIANT COCK IN THE SKY AND IT'S COMING TOWARDS ME OH GOD IT'S SO WARM.

    THINK I'LL GET THE VILLAGERS TOGETHER AND RUB IT A LITTLE."

    GOD RESPONDED, "HAY GIZE STOP TOUCHING MY peeeee-nis OK"

  • For all the people who can't be bothered to look anything up (ever heard of Google?), the name of the dinosaur is Nigersaurus Taqueti. Almost every dinosaur has a 2nd name, like Homo Sapiens. The Taqueti is the part named after the original scientist.

  • It looks like not reading has helped you immensely. I mean, you're probably twice as smart as a rock by now. There's something to be proud of.

  • It's called Scientific Nomenclature. The two names are the genus and species names. They are Latinized and the genus name is capitalized while the species name is not. Generally the two names are underlined to indicate that they are Scientific Nomenclature. All organisms are classified this way.

  • Yes.

  • ?????

  • 110 million year old?

    Can any palleontologist explain how he dated this animal, also in all honesty, we know carbon14 testing has more flaws than a 1970's lie detector machine.

    because radiocarbon decays very rapidly compared to other radioactive elements such as uranium. So after, say, a theoretical 100,000 years at the most the amount of radiocarbon left in the wood would not be detectable anymore.

  • Let us not use these fantasy dating methods to confuse the thinking of sceptics trying to compute infomation for there knowledge, just so the dating fits a science contruction fantasy world.

  • Kissmebackside,

    It is YOU who are attempting to confuse the non-thinking "skeptics". Any thinking skeptic would do their research and find many many forms of dating are available and they give results on the same order of magnitude in correlation to each other.

  • Thank You,

    Palleontologist, I await your replys

  • Radiocarbon is not the only radiocative dating method. In fact, this video does not claim that this fossil was dated using radiocarbon. So, all your rant is pointless.

  • fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

  • they call it nigersaurus cuz oh i dont mabye was found IN NIGER!!!

  • well did they mean for it to be racist? no everyone just thought of it like that

  • why would they call it nigersaurus is there something racist there?

  • Yes, that dino had black skin. But don't worry, they have named a dino fossil found in Germany Krakkersaurus because it had pale skin. So, it all evens out. lol!

  • No not at all. If it were being racist there would obviously be another g in that word. It was probably in Niger, in Africa :)

  • it is he found it in the sahara so Niger, Africa was near it

  • ..wow!

  • that is a racist dinosaur. plus, i think they put a couple of ass bones in the head area.

  • "The head area?" That whole area where them thar head bones go?

  • That thar headbox thinguhmuhgoobler, hyuk hyuk.

  • I much rather see christian chain letters then those other stupid chain letters! anyway cool video dinos are awesome!

  • Fuck you god damn christians...

  • Please don't put down Christians. If you know your right, then let the beleive what they want to. I don't see how what they believe effects you. Just, please respect people and their beleifs.

  • Wow, that had a lot of spelling errors. :)

  • Fucking christians...the only good thing about them is that they're biodegradable!

  • im sorry if i offended you by my comment, that wasn't my intention at all. All i was trying to point out is that that kind of attitude will only point people away from Christ, and that is what is bad. Im soory if i offended you. God Bless! :)

  • 110 million year old dinosaur? and you can piece it together? Paleontologist still today find a few thousand year old corps and love adding the

    zero's, most honest paleontologist know for fact, that a 5 thousand year bone structure is no different to what they call millions, FACT.

  • Have a cite for those "facts"?

  • The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. This means that half the carbon 14

    in a sample will be gone in 5730 years, and in another 5730 years another half

    will be gone. In other words, ¾ of the Carbon 14 will be gone in about 11,460 years.

    Similarly, 7/8 will be gone after about 17,000 years. After 50,000 years, practically

    all the carbon 14 would have decayed. Thus, any ages greater than 50,000 years cannot

    be tested with Carbon--14 dating

    imposible to date this animal

  • That's why they use other dating methods.. C14 isn't the only method you know.

  • ?????

  • THE UNIVERSE IS 13 BILLION YOURS OLD

  • yeah, where do you get these facts? carbon dating is pretty cut-and-dry.

  • The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. This means that half the carbon 14

    in a sample will be gone in 5730 years, and in another 5730 years another half

    will be gone. In other words, ¾ of the Carbon 14 will be gone in about 11,460 years.

    Similarly, 7/8 will be gone after about 17,000 years. After 50,000 years, practically

    all the carbon 14 would have decayed. Thus, any ages greater than 50,000 years cannot

    be tested with Carbon--14 dating

  • Clue check... Where in this video did they say they used Carbon-14 radiocarbon dating? Secondly, it only takes trace amounts of Carbon-14 in order to take a very accurate measurement with modern instruments. TRACE AMOUNTS. Thirdly, stop spreading misinformation to uninformed people. You are bearing false witness. Yes, you.

  • You dont know what you are talking about do you?

    The measurements for this animal is put in an evolution time scale chart without any real dating, it is the only way for them to fool the simpletons, do you watch Discovery programs and believe how a certian dinosaur acted and believe it do you? 150 million of years of miss information do you? I bet you get all excited lol.

  • Who said anything about Carbon 14? That is only used in archaeological remains. There are are other ways of radiometric dating...

    But it's funny how just one sample that can be proven to be 40000 years old using carbon14 proves that young earth creation is bullshit unless the universe is 6000 years old(+/-34000 years)...?
