Dinosaur Evolution and Discoveries

The video discusses the origins of dinosaurs on the supercontinent Pangaea, highlighting how climate conditions initially confined them to southern regions. New research in Zimbabwe has uncovered the oldest dinosaur fossils in Africa, supporting the hypothesis that climate changes allowed dinosaurs to spread. Additionally, a drought in Texas revealed dinosaur tracks, offering insights into their behavior. The video concludes with a promotion of Complexly calendars.
