Description

Take your personal data back with Incogni! Use code [JAY] at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/jay For years, dinosaur colors have been guessed by copying random living animals with (basically) zero science behind it. This video breaks down how scientists actually pull real color from fossils, the three universal rules of camouflage, and why T-Rex's own prey may have seen it completely differently than we do. Finally bringing us to the most scientifically accurate T-Rex reconstruction ever made. What did T-Rex really look like?
