This is a cool video although one thing I don’t think is talked about as much as I would’ve liked is dragons as alien life forms which evolved separately. It’s a cool concept that doesn’t get discussed much. I know why he specifically didn’t talk about it because he’s a geneticist and what is does is already extremely theoretical, and that would be probably too theoretical even for him. Still an interesting idea that I don’t think gets talked about as much as it could.
Also and this is just my opinion, while I do think it’s cool how much he went on about how to create fire breath biologically, I don’t really think this is as much an important part of dragons as other people think it is. Most people will think “dragon” when seeing a winged reptiloid with the appearance associated with dragons.
It’s also way less feasible/practical than he makes it out to be because of the energy requirements as well as potential complications related to having fire in your mouth.

The channel is about weird bio and physics experiments which might or might not be implemented. So yea, discovering aliens is out of scope for him. The focus is on “how could this be implemented on earth as close to reality as possible”

True, but it is cool. And if something can be made even cooler, the people behind this channel will do it :D
