This video is absolutely amazing! 🤯 I was truly hooked from beginning to end watching about the deadliest mass extinctions in Earth's history. The detailed description of the asteroid hitting Earth and creating a mega tsunami at [03:09] is incredibly epic and terrifying! 🌊🦕 The graphics and the storytelling of "What If" are always so engaging, making it easy to visualize such a dark yet fascinating era. Thank you to the channel for providing such an informative and high-quality video. Keep making more captivating content like this! ❤👏🔥

I really wonder why more people don't realize that a warmer Earth is much healthier to Flora and Fauna than a colder Earth in almost every respect.

Earth's history is basically a massive, terrifying book of survival. Every time an extinction event wipes the slate clean, it just unfolds a completely new, bizarre era of creatures

I’m amazed by how scientists can rebuild the world of prehistoric creatures from just bones and tiny clues. Human curiosity is truly incredible
