Dude, uh I uh think you missed the point. They aren't even dinosaurs. He's saying the video is bad.

There are still so many misconceptions about prehistoric animals out there,  I don't waste my time anymore getting annoyed by them. Better get used to it.

I've thought about coming up with a list of things every person should know about dinosaurs before graduating sixth grade. I can only speak to my own school experience, but it seems like most schools teach about dinosaurs (or 'dinosaurs') as a way of seducing kids into understanding some basic nature concepts like 'This is an herbivore. That means it eats plants.' Really, we should be teaching students what made dinosaurs successful and how that ties in to our own place in big history. More time passed between the last Stegosaurus and the first Tyrannosaurus than between the last Tyrannosaurus and the first human. Dinosaurs are still alive today and most of them are thriving. If people don't know that, then it's easy for them to develop a very outdated understanding of how life on earth works. What's the harm in that? Well, in my home country people vote on how we interact with the environment and other life, and elect people who made decisions. If you have this idea that dinosaurs looked like lizard kangaroos dragging their tails on the ground and they waited around to go extinct so superior humans could take over, you are bound to make stupid decisions in that regard. Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.

Sorry for the rant.
