We have finally arrived at the Triassic period! The beginning of the Age of the Dinosaurs. But I hope this video serves as a reminder that this time was much more than just that. The world was going through a global reset after the Permian mass extinction, so things got...weird. I'm gonna introduce you to some of these Mesozoic weirdos, and show you what life was like at the beginning of the reign of the dinosaurs. Enjoy!!
