One cool thing that I found out is that at about the same time this video was made, in 2023, a Sand Pseudocast was found that had three Anchisauripus tracks. With the trackway ending with the cast of 5 theropod bones. I really wish the Portland Formation would get re-examined in a Paleodocumentary, especially since I think that there hasn't been another Dinosaur documentary since WDRA that actually covered the East coast specifically. Since then the Portland Formation has had a tantalizing amount of new fossils found. Such as the distal end of a very large humerous that belonged to a theropod that is more similar to Cryolophosaurus' humerous than Dilophosaurus, but is larger than both of them and denser. Then there is the dense wrist, as well as tooth, of a non pterodactyloid pterosaur that were also described in 2021. These along with the ichnotaxa that point to animals that we know exist but have not fossils of. Along with the currently known species being Podokesaurus, Anchisaurus, Stegomosuchus, as well as an abundance of rayfinned fishes. I think there would be more than enough content for a new documentary segment on the formation. Plus showing the Early Jurassic is always cool. Maybe if the show ever gets remade they could redo this segment, they could move it farth north into the Portland Formation proper and have some smaller animals get the spotlight such as Podokesaurus and Stegomosuchus. Then showing non descript ceolophysoids and ornithopods, along with Anchisaurus and the Pterosaurs. Then feature the ichnotaxa of Large sauropodomorphs, and two different large carnivores. One being 9 meters, with the Portland Formation Neotheropod also being given similar proportions, the smaller 8.5 meter long theropod track makers, and the 8.1 meter long Sauropodomorphs that also left behind tracks. Plus since they don't have body fossils to fall back on, you could give some details we have evidence of but haven't found directly. Such as feathery ceolophysids as they would have been too cold without feathers unlike Sauropodomorphs, or quadruped baby Anchisaurus, if Mussaurus is anything to go off of for baby sauropodomorphs.
Thank you man for this so much of making this video man this guy is just a complete ego. I literally screenshot everything that he said and I’m gonna share this with the world.
I am currently doing some studies and drawings on dinosaurs.And, I am currently thinking of the shape and form their eyes would have.I discarded mamal like ones (like goats and felines) and im sticking with reptile/ bird ones for being the closest relatives .However , this is giving me a lot to think about.Would predators have eagle like ones? Komodo like ones? Crocodilean?Would herbivores would have a conjuntiva part?Thank you for this and I would love more opinions regarding this.
Who's rewatching this in 2024 knowing all too well that RJ is likely the reason saurian is dead, especially given the fact he allegedly got booted from detective pikachu's design team for being an over-bearing bully.
16:49 It is also not an actual true crocodilian it is actually a Crocodyliform but it is a close relative of crocodilians. 17:20 CORRECTION: You meant the Non-avian Dinosaurs went extinct because birds are dinosaurs that are still alive today. 19:38 SECOND CORRECTION: The Sarcosuchus couldn’t actually do a DeathRoll like modern day crocodilians can so do you should do some better research just saying.
I wouldn't call kids stupid just curious. Thay don't know they are demaging bones. Or their parents should tough them a lesson to tuch nothinkg in museum. Even when I was extremely young, if you told me not to tuch something I wouldn't.
To clear things up so people don't think NO dinosaurs had feathers: Ornithicians, Sauropodomorphs and Theropods outside of Coelurosauria had a variety of scaly integument. Coelurosaurs (ornithomimosaurs, alvarezsaurs, therizinosaurs as well as more basal groups) outsude of Pennaraptora had filaments homologous to feathers but are not true pennaceous feathers themselves. Pennaraptors (oviraptorsaurs, scansoriopterygids, dromaeosaurs, troodontids, anchiornithids and avialans) all had true pennaceous feathers from shaggy body feathers to stiff flight feathers (depending of their lifestyle) Filaments in Pterosaurs, Heterodontosaurids, Psittacosaurus and Kulindadromeus seem to have evolved separately from the ones in Coelurosaurs.
Given that there are so many formations underlying the udurchukan formation with confirmed tarbosaurus remains and some potential tarbosaur remains found in the udurchukan formation
I think the Ceratosaurus in this episode got a much better deal that it typically does in documentaries. Sure, it gets killed by Allosaurus and is shown as inferior to it, but at least it got the chance to serve as a major threat for the herbivores in this episode twice and it had a great design for the time the show came out.
In terms of creature reviews, I was wondering what your opinion was regarding the Akula from Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) directed by James Cameron and produced alongside Jon Landau using a plethora of 3D design technologies. When I saw it in theaters, and I first saw the Akula swim towards Lo'ak when he is stranded from the Metkayina, I personally was enamored by how distinctly it resembled Dunkleosteus terrelli from the Devonian (which was recently nerfed in size). I saw it as a giant Alien Dunkleosteus. Do you believe that design was extravagant or do you believe it was justified stylistically (e.g. the atmosphere of the moon Pandora produces the correct oxygen levels and ecological pressures, etc). What do you believe makes great creature design in general?
If anyone wants to know about dinosaur integument: Pennaraptora had true pennaceous feathers All other coelurosaurs had filaments (not true feathers but still homologous to them) All other dinosaurs had a wide variety of scales of different sizes and shapes (depending on the taxon) (Also the filaments on kulindadromeus, psittacosaurus and heterodontosaurids seemed to evolve separately and hopefully we get a good paper in the future on the diversity the evolution of dinosaur integument)
Thank you so much for sharing! Interesting to hear how when you cater to the wrong audience and get lots of achievement (views, revenue, growth), you're conditioned as a content creator to produce more of those types of videos or products. But if you've, for instance, created inaccurate scary dinosaur videos and continually get encouraged to produce more and more of those videos because they get more views, you're catering to the wrong audience and long-term will not be able to thrive at your best. That may in part explain the gradual demise of the Jurassic Park franchise. Great insight! Thank you AK! :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this! You were able to very clearly articulate the artifice of the Indominus scene and explain your argument with well-established points. I recall seeing Jurassic World (2015) and feeling that cheesy fake feeling during the Final Battle Scene and you were completely able to articulate it: humanizing dinosaurs. Well said! :-)
I agree! Well said! I commend you for setting these standards and I believe it's imperative that we do so as an audience hyperfixated on dinosaurs and Collective Heritage! Let's experience the science brought to life!
They are mammals like us. Our lips are made out of muscles so we could suck mothers milk. Obiosly this leater evolves for communication est. But reptiles mouth is just skin, they can't move. Wich is why he is saying it isn't possible.
As a person who as indeed seen traditional reptiles such as squamates, turtles and crocodiles, I can confirm that scales (and exposed teeth in crocodilians) doesn't make them "awesome bro" or any thing like that. Scaly animals are just as cute, wierd, frightening and/or interesting like animals with filaments/hair Also many (though not all) relativly big mammals have a thin coat of fur, not a giant ball of fluff and we know that even yutyrannus had a thinner coat of feathers than cassowaries of emus (smaller animals that live in hotter climates).
I believe the reasoning for the decision to make the female rexes bigger was based on birds of prey and no direct evidence but I can be completely wrong about that 😅
Thank you for watching the vid and for your kind words! I have disabled all links permanently ages ago. Invitations for folks that I am familiar with only or if I know you aren’t there to cause nuisance.
I also can’t wait till you review prehistoric planet season one. In my version of when dinosaurs are in America, the racks design would be the same but the male would be more of a green color just a remodeled but Green.
I may just do a video on this topic some time, even though in general my position remains pretty much the same as all that changed was that the opinions of the authors involved simply got published in a journal thus allowing this point of view to be put under scrutiny applying the same standard as we would (and should!) whenever something else gets put out there. But in regards to what has actually been brought to the table - not really a lot that changes anything,. I won't get into details here, since I do hope to discuss this in a video with the boys, just not sure when I get around to it since I'm pretty darn busy with real life things.
@AKRex that would be extreamly cool to see. Especially that there is too much toxic positivity araund it. I love when people point mistakes in documentaries whitout being offensive.
In prehistoric planet, they had a mating pair I think of Quetzalcoatlus attacking a t. Rex of course that two against one Rex would have a hard time so it did get the hell out of here because they were packing the crap out of the porch racks, and they were fighting over an allosaurus carcass, and I believe that it takes place in New Mexico since almosaurus is from New Mexico and same with tyrannosaurus a nice review by the Way of the documentary I hope that as well you could debunk this paper that’s going on that there’s a larger t Rex that’s bigger than Scotty
Yeah, because it looked like the Florida Everglades but the environment of walking with dinosaurs were still beautiful. Don’t get me wrong. I would love to visit there.
@@tyrannotherium7873 yeah I feel like the environment for final episode of walking with dinosaurs would have been better if it was set in Late Cretaceous India, and not Late Cretaceous North America.
also another exception of birds that dont take care of their young is the Cuckoo duck or black headed duck, these ducks much like cuckoos lay eggs in nest of another species of water birds, these birds incubate the eggs but after the chick hatches it does not parasitize the nest like cuckoos instead the duckling leaves the nest and is already capable of surviving alone
I don’t say sabertooth tiger at all it’s sabertooth cat that’s the correct term to say it. I’ve been trying to educate some people, but they still say it anyway it’s sabertooth cat or Sabercat.
I have a question, is what is stated about T Rrex's brain being too smart for a reptile specific to T Rex or is it towards other dinosaurs like sauropods as well?
I read an article titled "new evidence for t.rex having feathers" Saying, adult tyrannosaurus has mallet for feathers, while juveniles had feathers, and the evidence were "majority of the infants didn't not survive sue to diseases and predators" before starting getting off topic and talking about the bite forces of tyrannosaurs. It was pretty short article, I'm guessing it relates to the BBC and natural history museum rex. Why is feathers on babys rex a thing? I'm curious to know how would that work in amiotes, going from one integument into a whole other like metaphorsis.
At this point I think they are trying to keep just a bit feathers on it or whale it was a baby just so they wouldn't be proven fully wrong. At this point I don't understand them. I was proven wrong on multiple stuff and after some thinking I accepted it. But they can't even after at least 5 years. Like what is big deal in saying I was wrong especially in siance wich is constantly changing. Like litteraly in paleontology theories are constantly debunked bc it is nature of field.
Ak rex would it be possible to do topics based on the trassic, permain, paleozoic like debates, and other controversy sounding those areas. Stuff like walking with monster, i want to see you do reactions, and debate with experts on those areas. Like we have the basic understanding of creatures like your tyrannosaurids like rez, your trikes, and the giant flying n marine reptiles because they lived not to long ago to us humans. 66-68 millions not too long of a time gap between the last dinos. I wanna see you dabble in things/monsters before dinosaurs like the first amiotes, mammal like reptiles, giant amphibians, bugs, fish, and other abominations from the trassic and the paleozoic.
Walking with Monsters can be added to our eventual to do list for sure, it was a pretty neat piece as well! And regarding Permian, my co-host John will likely be happy to oblige on that part, so when he gets his hands free we will try to see what we can sneak in.
I mean, I’m pretty sure that ceratopsians would charge at a predator, but not each other, but they would probably gory each other still with those horns
