Fun fact the location is the same one as the edaphosaurus and dimetrodon scene in walking with monster and the future predator vs gorgonops fight in primeval also the wwd special land of giants
Although it’s probably too much like a big cat with its sounds and animation, the design successfully portrays to the audience that this animal is closer to mammals than reptiles, something most pop culture depictions fail at
Yeah I agree, it's too much like a tiger, most if not all of its sounds are from a tiger and then with the stripes. Along with the comparison to big cats from the narrator, it feels pretty heavy-handed. Fantastic design physically speaking, but still a little too much like a tiger.
Glad to see the Gorgonopsids be done justice for the first time in about 18 years. Also I’m seeing a bit of the Permian environment from Primeval in here.
@@kaden.slone04_biologyit got ambushed and was distracted my guy if you were talking to someone and someone else ran up to you and stabbed you in the neck you can’t do much
@@zaisfantasticdiscoverys7710even lions struggle to kill baby elephants yet a teen mammoth got taken down by 1 little tiger despite to amount of thick hide and fur, also like you’ll till put up a fight even if you are on a choke-hold like the terror bird pretty much let it happen
@@zaisfantasticdiscoverys7710S. Gracilis was the smallest Smilodon that was leopard size. It wouldn’t even be able to pose an actual threat to the terror bird. They mentioned that Smilodon outcompete them when that wasn’t true, the bird was still the dominant and top predator at the time.
@@IceHyena-GG, When really, they, the Smilodon, managed to outcompete the Terror Birds and replace them as the top predators of their time, making them one of many reasons and theories why the Terror Birds went extinct around 10,000 years ago.
The designs are very well done, but fail a bit to represent realistic behavior at some points; At various points in the series we see the predators spending valuable breath roaring and making sounds during the hunt.
@@LiamDyC, Yeah, these early “mammal-like” reptiles are, in many ways, more closely linked to our ancestors, Mammals, than to Lizards and Crocodiles. They don’t have fur, but they have evolved scent glands in their skin. This way, everyone can tell when the giant gorgonopsid, Inostrancevia, is around.
@@anthonybusch4407 actually dycynodonts and theriodonts most likely had fur. As thats where they would become more mammal like. Though your right that early synapsids and more basal therapsids where most likely furless.
When I first saw the Inostrancevia? He kinda reminds me of that toy I saw on the internet from that one Jurassic Park toyline back then about dinosaur mutations called Chaos Effect, which is cool lol.
@@memesimp3216 Yea but could have said the name instead imo. Not everyone who are into the families of each animal. Besides, very sure people are more interested in hearing their actual name instead of family name. But your right. Guess i should have said it in a different way
Inostrancevia couldn’t move its lips, it lacked the oral muscles mammals have to move their lips, they had simple lips like most archaic synapsids and reptiles, plus it’s quite unlikely that it had hair of any kind (I’m seeing peach fuzz on this one)
Weird they gave fuzz to the Inostrancevia (when there's no proper evidence of fur in therapsids until the advanced probainognathans) but not the Tyrannosaurus when we know that some tyrannosauroids were fully feathered.
@@sqrt2295 Large Tyrannosaurids didn’t require large quantities of insulating feathers like early Tyrannosauroids. They probably had sparse hair-like filaments at most.
It didn't have fur or moveable lips because those things hadn't evolved yet, they just gave it that because of its superficial similarities to mammallian predators. Would have been more accurate to shrink-wrap it.
@@vishaansingh1019 No, this is an appropriate amount of soft tissue: just because the lips wouldn’t be mobile doesn’t mean they would not be there at all.
I would have liked to have seen the actual footage of the Gorgonopsid biting the neck of the Scutosaurus to see how wide they think the gape of its jaw was...
I heard about this animal before, when i watched an episode of Dinosaur revolution some years ago, and think i saw one these animals in a Dinosaur horror film🦣🦣.
@@doddthedodo7435 But Scutosaurus was herbivorous and lived in a time before colorful fruits and flowers were around, so it very well could've been colorblind. If the color vision was for seeing brightly colored courtship displays, then why are all the Scutosaurus so drab and bland in color?
@@jacobcox4565 A lack of especially colorful surroundings is no reason to just assume an animal is colorblind. And second, that is an incredibly narrow summation of the need for color vision - do not be Jack Horner and claim that everything is about display. Most lizards are pretty drab in color and they can see it just fine. You're applying a mammal-centric worldview to a non-mammal. Don't do that. The fact is, most mammals can't see many colors because they spent a hundred million years being mostly nocturnal during the Mesozoic. This was BEFORE that, and also again, Scutosaurus isn't a mammal. Strong color vision isn't always a case-by-case thing, it's just something innate to reptiles that benefits them enough to keep, even without strong stimuli. ALSO the Scutos are drab in color because paleoartists refuse to break old trends. Especially the ones behind this heap of junk.
Why is it that in so many of these recent recreations of prehistoric life they always seem to heavily shy away from possibly showing any gore? As per example the other Scutosaurus blocking our view of Inostrancevia executing the death bite on it's prey?
No clue and even in Camp Cretaceous on Netflix they show the deaths offscreen and blocked by any object only followed by the sounds of bones crunching and flesh being ripped apart which is really infuriating
Generating a photorealistic extinct animal on a computer is one thing, to also render its flesh, blood and internal organs in a photorealistic way is probably hard as hell and massively increases the risk of messing it up and heading into hardcore uncanny valley territory. Even Prehistoric Planet was extremely conservative about this stuff.
Gorgonopsids one of the most strangest Reptiles that existed long before Dinosaurs, with Sabertooth cat like teeth and Big cat like agility that are fast on land🐆🐆.
@@jacobcox4565, No, mostly reptile actually, but just more mammalian-like in terms of physical appearance and behavior. So rather more of like a mammal-like reptile, or therapsid.
This part of the episode is set in Siberia at the end of the Permian period 252 million years ago. Dimetrodon lived millions of years before Inostrancevia appeared on the scene, and they lived in different parts of Pangea.
from what I've seen with this depiction of Inostrancevia, considering how it's primary prey appear to be large bulky herbivores built on strength rather than speed, how Inostrancevia would appear to have vibrant colours that do well in making them hide within darkness while being flashy, not to mention therapsids could of posed the ability to regenerate teeth like reptiles, I would pose the idea that this here is meant to be an ambush predator built for more nocturnal hunting while being able to rely more on strength rather than speed while having long canines to be able to efficiently tare out the throat once the prey is tackled to the ground and immobilized, incredibly similarly to how Smilodon was hypothesized to behave except for the idea that if therapsids were able to regenerate their teeth like reptiles, then Inostrancevia would of been able to lose it's canine teeth and essentially live off of scavenging or potentially hunting smaller prey like the dicynodonts until eventually regrowing their canines, making it so they wouldn't have to rely on pack hunting if at all, and really only need to hunt during the night if they want maximum terms of success
@@athos9293 I'm honestly not all that sure about if it would be the most viable for them to simply hibernate until their teeth were restored again, but they can definitely live more cautiously and recover far better with losing their teeth than smilodon or other long-fanged predators if they were to be able to regenerate their teeth, even if it is arguably possible for them to constantly shed teeth throughout their life and constantly regrow them throughout their lives as well at that, potentially making this sort of behavior far more mundane and natural in their minds if their canines were to break
They used _Doom_ sound effects for the _Scutosaurus,_ and _Jurassic Park_ sound effects for the _T. rex._ It was distracting. I was expecting far more prehistoric creatures and hopefully, some new ones, but it just trod old ground. The _Inostrancevia,_ however, looked pretty cool.
Как же неестественно выглядят кошачьи поведенческие паттерны у животного, которое по уровню организации было где-то между гекконом и опоссумом... Даже троодонтиды с поведением врановых выглядят не так нелепо, хотя это тоже в корне неверно.
I very much prefer its more primeval and intimidating depiction in Walking With Monsters, with its broad, angular head and wide, elongated jaws. That thing actually looked like a proto-mammalian ancestor that you couldn't really place anywhere. Here it straight-up looks like a cross between an otter and a mole rat, and its short muzzle and smooth head make it look far less imposing. A shame, really.
That was a theatrical fight hunt, predators don't show intimidation growls or sizing up to something it is hunting. On the contrary thats what prey animals are what they are good at. Realistic scenario i give it a C-
I wonder how many watching this understand that this is almost certainly totally fictitious. Though it is designed like a nature program, it is based on a silly belief about the past and a wild unsubstantiated interpretation of evidence. How gullible is the public these days……
Honestly, this "doc" is way better than the overhyped prehistoric planet. Creature designs are PERFECT and their animations have a proper sense of weight.
Perfect creature designs? Such as: - Baleen T. rex. - Erythrosuchus with a sprawling as opposed to an upright gait. - Slightly adjusted Jurassic World Allosaurus. - Galloping Triceratops. - Oversized Smilodon gracilis (presumably, since S. gracilis was the Smilodon species that coexisted with terror birds). - White cave lions that are somehow able to 1v1 a teenage mammoth in a split second.
@BugsandBiology okay, good points, stand corrected. But I just love the designs and animations nevertheless. It's not like prehistoric planet is without issues
