Why Triassic Animals Were Just the Weirdest

The video explores the unique Drepanosaurs, strange reptiles from the Triassic period, and their evolutionary context. It discusses their discovery, bird-like features, and how adaptive radiation after mass extinctions led to rapid evolutionary changes. The video also covers the end of the Triassic period, the rise of dinosaurs, and the concept of convergent evolution. It concludes with resources for further learning.
