  I'm glad this includes insect flight because that is barely ever talked about and pretty much unknown

  Could you add measurements in the metric system as well?

  I've always loved the anatomy of Pterosaurian wings. The idea that their entire wing membrane was supported on just one finger is fascinating. Not to mention that it allowed for their hands to continue existing separate from the wings, which is the leading theory on why they evolved to be so much bigger than birds and bats; the Quad Launch theory. I wish they still existed, they were fascinating and unique animals :)

  Excellent video! <br>Although I do have a correction for the section that compares the leg segments of insects, crustaceans, and &quot;arthropods&quot; represented by the horseshoe crab. This comparison is confusing, because both insects and crustaceans <b>belong</b> to the phylum Arthropoda. For the horseshoe crab, they are members of the subphylum Chelicerata (which includes arachnids, and also belongs to Arthropoda). I believe the video&apos;s creator meant to compare the legs of insects, crustaceans to those of more basal arthropods? Or to those of Chelicerates.<br>Second correction: birds are still dinosaurs, nothing has stopped them from being dinosaurs. The asteroid did not kill all dinosaurs, but neither did it spare all birds as seen with the extinction of Enantiornithes (the &apos;Opposite Birds&apos;). :)

  Being able to condense such a complex and far reaching topic into a roughly 15 minute presentation is a phenomenal skill. Not a second wasted, every small tangent fits into the overarching theme and it all flows so naturally.<br>Your incredible dedication and passion is awe inspiring. And you cultivated an increasingly amazing community with a wealth of knowledge where even minor mistakes get explained, so even reading through the comments on your videos is worthwhile.

  I&apos;ve struggled for so long to understand how breathing works with birds. Thanks to your animation now I finally understand.

  Oh wow. I sense a new &quot;David Attenborough&quot; on the horizon. Thank you so much for these exciting videos! Learning new things was never so much fun.
