The Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong guy has the cutest horrible example of a juvenile sauropodlet: Sauropodlets: YDAW Synapisode #2

I didn't know what to expect.

I got a whole screen full of cute!

Loved this! I'm taking Dino 101 on Coursera and just got to the birth and growth week so all relevant. I will be watching his other videos, since I assume they are all equally informative. Thanks for sharing this!

Surely I can't be the only one bothered by the term "synapisode" in a video about dinosaurs? Synapsids were distinctly *not* dinosaurs! It'd be like having a podcast about birds and calling the individual releases "mammalsodes!"

Now to stop grumbling and check out the content.

I liked this a lot, especially because I was half-watching at work and thought at first that he was reviewing the toy the kid was holding.

OHHHH, I thought he was reviewing the toy....

It took me the better part of a minute to realize he wasn’t talking about the plastic toy.
