Jurassic World Did Velociraptors Dirty 

Talia just finished her doctorate, and will be focusing on academia for the next little while, so you might not see her on Animalogic for a bit! Thank you so much Talia, and hope to see you back soon!

Turkeys are honestly terrifying. We have a wild turkey in my town that’s literally been terrorizing the traffic light that leads into down town. He’s a MENACE. lol but we don’t want to hurt him so we just let him do as he pleases. He has evaded all capture so we’ve just given up. He knows he’s won. He remembers when he was a raptor. HE REMEMBERS

"Today I'm here to ruin your childhood" I love this!

Congrats on your doctorate Talia! Your determination and passion is admirable. Get it queen!👸🏽

The best depiction of Velociraptor is definitely in Prehistoric Planet; that show is a godsend!

I’m glad you mentioned the velociraptors in Jurassic Park are actually Deinonychus, but are slightly wrong about Crichton’s motivations, When writing the novel, one of his primary research sources was Predatory Dinosaurs of the World by paleo artist Gregory Paul. Paul inaccurately lumped Deinonychus into the genus Velociraptor. Alan Grant even repeats this mistake in the novel. Anyway, Crichton did like the name, but he was relying on Paul’s error for naming.

Congratulations, Talia.🎉 You certainly earned that doctorate. And if you ask me, the real velociraptor is much more interesting than the Hollywood version. Maybe you could do a video on Dienonychus some day, the real raptors of Jurassic Park.

One piece of information that was skipped in the video: Deinonychus was previously called Velociraptor antirrhopus. In Michael Crichton's novel, it is an important plot point that the scientists who genetically engineered the Jurassic Park dinosaurs didn't know much about dinosaurs. Basically, the genetists couldn't tell Velociraptor antirrhopus from Velociraptor mongoliensis. That plot point was omitted from the movie, but they kept the name Velociraptor even though Deinonychus had been renamed by that time.

I was super confused when the first Jurassic Parks first came out. before that, I always thought velociraptors were the size of chickens as I was the kind of kid who read dinosaur books all the time, and the velociraptors in Magic Tree House were also chicken sized... This video finally answered my questions after all those years

My headcanon for the films has always been that they knew they were re-creating a deinonychus but stuck with the name velociraptor because it sounded cooler and more marketable. They were a theme park attraction, after all, relying on genetics to create chimeras to exhibit for profit. So even as a kid, I imagined this scene taking place before the movie starts where the scientists explain all this to Hammond and he brushes them off, saying that he's already spared no expense on t-shirts, cups, and plushies that say 'velociraptor' on them.

I really want some episodes about the Tyrannosaurids. Not just T. Rex, either. Albertosaurus, Yutyrannus, Moros intrepidus, Gorgosaurus, Tarbosaurus, etc., all of which deserve some spotlight. Moros intrepidus was the smallest of the Tyrannosaurids, too! I would totally have a pack of them as my friends, and then I'd ride a rex into battle.

If Talia ever comes back, I would like to see some videos on lesser talked about Dromaeosaurs like Bambiraptor.

Velociraptor in movies: Man-sized man eaters Velociraptors in Reality: Small but terrible

Worth mentioning that at the time the 1993 Jurassic Park "Velociraptors" were fairly decent depictions of Deinonychus at the time, even having more up to date skulls than the more common at the time 70s depiction of Deinonychus.

😍 Congratulations Talia !!! 👩🏼‍🎓👩🏼‍⚕️ We're going to miss having you as host 😭 As always, Danielle's paleoartwork is world class ⭐

For those who haven’t had the pleasure yet to watch FilmCore’s “I added accurate dinosaurs into Jurassic Park” should go watch that after this video. the t rex and Velociraptor scenes are the best ones😂😂

Love this , very educational indeed 💯. I actually drew a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it came out cool. Love the T-shirt

Congratulations on the video on famous Velociraptor, my friend! Imagine the Velociraptor from Jurassic Park will meet its feathery ego. Along with Deinoychus and kin. Even the artist, Fred The Dinosaurman, had his art with the JP Raptors with feathers in an accurate way.

Basically, the Monster Hunter raptors (like velociprey) are pretty close to realistic velociraptors I'm proud to know about their size and hunting practice already hueheuehue. I do love Jurassic Park tho, as do probally most people that clicked on this video

Congratulations on your doctorate Talia! 🎉🎊🎈

Weird, I was just obsessing about different Dromaesaurus last night. They're very fascinating, feathers and sickle claws. Deinonychus and Utahraptor are staple raptors of my longtime childhood interest.

5:26 reminds me of that meme where the 2 Dino’s are embracing as their world gets destroyed and their fossils are showcased in a museum as if their fighting, just makes ya wonder ya know

Some other raptors that you could make videos of are utahraptor, microraptor, and austroraptor.

Deinonychus, my favourite dinosaur, even before jurassic park. Amazing body plan.

I know Jurassic is popular & they’re some of my favorite films but Id site other paleomedia for raptors. David James Armsby’s Dinosauria & Prehistoric Planet both portray raptors accurately.

Congratulations Taila!! Also, thanks for providing so much info on prehistoric animals both old and new!!

I have known about this inaccuracy since I discovered the JP franchise wiki’s explanation of it. The films’ depiction is based on a Deinonychus’ skeleton. When interviewed about his book, Michael Crichton even admitted it back in 1989.

I hope you can do more prehistoric related videos, like the evolution of camels and horses, the newly-discovered head-butting giraffe, and the evolution of whales and their relation to artiodactyls, like deer, pigs and hippos.

Congrats on your doctorate! That's a hell of an achievement! I remember when the first movie came out and shortly after they found Utahraptor, which at least *was* as big as the JP/JW velociraptor.

That palaeoart is amazing! And I love how they start with the skeleton!

great episode!

That T-shirt - love it. Where can it be found?

Utah Raptor is what was portrayed in the movies.

Thinking of it, the fluffy feathers on Silkie Chickens and Ptarmigans is allegedly an old format for the leg scales we wee on other birds. So do we get fluffy, and frizzy, versions of Velociraptors? :P

Interesting, well done making this!

Yesss first one here I love knowledge ! And learning new things !!! ❤

Congratulations Talia! :)

Instant subscribe. Thank you.

T. rex was around 8 - 10 tons but still great video.

Loved it - Talia is my favourite presenter

I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one who knows they miss name Deinonychus as velociraptor. I'm been reading books about dinosaurs since I was young and when the movie came out in the 90's I keep saying to my friends velociraptors is not a velociraptor it's name is really dienonychus

Thank you! Velociraptor is my favourite dinosaur

Sadly not enough people have seen the special features including an interview with one of the paleontologists they hired as a consult, where he explained that Spielberg based his Velociraptors on the at the time recently discovered Utahraptor

I love how Animalogic tell us the truth for the real dinosaur and not for Jurassic Park

You should do Spinosaurus next. That dinosaur has had a long, weird journey in paleonthology.

What about the Utah raptor that was found in the 90s? They were reported to be 2 meters tall.

How many times will Talia ruin my precious childhood?! 😢

Velociraptors: On screen: big, scaly, and scary. In real life: small, feathery, and cute.

I had an exam about the fubula yesterday lol, you just mentioned everything I learned in the video

I was worried Deinonychus wouldn’t get mentioned. Likewise Michael Creighton as well. I feel a bit reassured.

Thank you, excellent use of Greek etymology explained, opening minds.

We will never, can never hundred percent know what these awesome and terrifying creatures were really like

My favorite Mongolian Dromaeosaur, the velociraptor!

Great video about this famous dromaeosaurid dinosaur! Maybe you could make a video about Microraptor, Brachiosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Liopleurodon, Dimetrodon or Zuul. :)

i love bird like raptors and because i love chickens which are fowl and i love ratites and fowl so seeing it like one of them makes me happy

Thanks 👍

Can you do the Dryosaurus..?? It's one of my favorites 😊😊☺️

When you said velociraptors are about as big as capybaras, the immediate image that came to my mind was that pelican trying to swallow a capybara while it just sat there looking bored 🤣

Crichton put a not in his book where a character mentions the velociraptors are more like deinonichus

Fantastic Video as Always! :) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤❤❤ 💖💖💖

*Bark* *Bark* *barkbark*

That's a sassy Velociraptor drawing, Danielle

im so sad sometimes that we will never get to truly see these beasts, i feel the same abt the cambrian stuff, i want to see them irl

I think considering the height of the Jurassic Park Velociraptor and the Deinonychus, it's most likely a Utahraptor depicted in the films. (seen this in a video by a paleontologist talking about Jurassic Park). Thanks for the great vid !

In a historical book, it said they brought down a brachiosaurus at some point

2 pieces of constructive criticism, and it's just me nitpicking honestly, but the movie references might be a little excessive and also the stock footage could be some actual paleoart or antimation or something. like for example the random indominus rex clip like threw me off, you could try something like pbs eons does where its still images moving that works really well and its very pleasing. anyways besides that i absolutely love that youre getting a paleologic series started and prehistory coverage is always appreciated

Doesn't ruin my childhood, there were still Dinosaurs that were similar to the raptors in Jurassic Park. 😄👍

JP/JW velociraptor:giant 6 foot lizard monster that is terrifying and hunts in packs Real velociraptor:turkey sized ground hawk that is still terrifying and hunts alone/in a small uncoordinated mob

Great video... ...But the music is to loud for me.

I actually knew this from all the dinosaur books I read as a kid way before Jurassic Park

They showcase plants and fossils on this channel too!

Please show off Anurognathus!!

Jurassic World doesn’t hate velociraptor. Its just bound to the public’s nostalgia for raptors as they appeared in the first film. Jurassic fans have wanted proper feathered & accurate raptors for years.

The Utahraptor please ! To restore my childhood !

The Disney movie Dinosaur portrayed them more accurately. Jurassic Park showed Deinonychus. My childhood wasn’t ruined as I had a book with Deinonychus back in the early 80s, so I knew of it far before the movie.

The sickle claws weren’t used to catch its prey, rather to climb. Also, Tyrannosaurus was 8-10 tons not 6 tons.

As a little kid I was always annoyed with how Jurassic Park depicted the danger-turkey.

I blame Michael Chricton for changing the name Deinonychus to Velociraptor because the name was cooler, while still writing them as Deinonychus.

nice

How come that drawing looks like it just hit the blunt? 😂

even so, a pack of murder-turkeys chasing you down is still terrifying.

😂nah, I wasn't fooled. I was 8 but I told my parents right away "those were not that large, those must be Deinonychuses"😅

so jp was ment to use the dieninocus raptor but it was not as easy to say as velocorapter hence the wrong name.

Danielle nice picture of velociraptor in this episode

my spirit animals :)

Always knew about the real velocriaptor and the movie ones. Even though they may be inaccurate still like the designs of the JP raptors, but the film makers should've probably fix their risks a bit.

At this point, I wish these hot bones were hollow….so flippin hot for far too long already😂 would not be surprised to see a velociraptor fly-run by me right now

Correction:birds didn't evolve from therapods they are therapods

I always thought they were Utahs but after checking out deinonichus, i can definitely see it. Velociraptors, the real ones lol, are still my favorite raptor ❤💜

A small correction: In Michael Crichton’s book, the velociraptors were the scientifically accurate size. Spielberg is the one that decided to make them deinonychus size but keep the ”scarier” sounding name of velociraptor. Personally I think deinonychus is a vicious, badass sounding name in its own right, but I understand.

Great video, just a minor correction: birds DIDN'T "evolve from therapods", birds ARE therapods. This is important because it's the exact same thing of saying "humans evolved from primates" so I would be careful with the choice of words there

I just want a Gigantopithecus.

Confirmed: Velociraptor is Birb

A small, fluffy, fast creature that likes to stab small things with its feet claws? Yeah I have one of those, my cat

There are two things I would like to bring up. First thing, Velociraptors may or may not have been vicious. And, since I love these animals so much, I'm betting on the latter option. The movies made them much more ferocious than they really were. Apparently, the films and most people ignore the line spoken by Roland Tembo in the second *JURASSIC PARK* film: *Predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.* It's interesting that many people criticize the size and the lack of feathers of the film's Raptors while they blindly accept their vicious behavior. Hollywood made "monsters" out of these misunderstood animals. I blame Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg for portraying these animals that way...all in the name of Science Fiction entertainment. And, the second thing is that the film's Raptors appear to be the size of a Dromaeosaur called Achillobator, rather than Deinonychus. While the latter dinosaur was found in the right location to where the film's Raptor was found, the former dinosaur seems to be the right size.

Can you talk about Deinosuchus or Barinasuchus?

Thank you. We'll spoken

2:53 that's hella creepy.

We don’t know how they looked!! 1st they had scales, now the have feathers, next they’ll have blond hair blue eyes with a awesome rack lol

I'm pretty sure they must've tasted like chicken then.
