That episode takes place a few million years after those species went extinct, the fossils those Carcharodontosaurs in the episode were based on were later described as the megaraptoran Aerosteon.
Only Giganotosaurus would be the correct option to choose because it only took a while before Mapusaurus and Tyrannotitan have yet to be discovered at the time.
@doctorstrange3740 and Giga also featured in JWD. And Carcharodonto also been overshadowed by Spino due to them living in the same time period and the same continant. And Giga tens to be bigger than Carcharadonto
Honestly, if Carcharodontosaurus was the one who fought the Spinosaurus, it would've become quite popular. Probably even MORE popular than Giganotosaurus.
You are not kidding that the Operation Genesis Carcharodontosaurus design is so iconic. In fact, there's literally a mod for the JWE games to turn its in-game Carcharodontosaurus INTO the Carchar from Operation Genesis!
I think the problem with the JW:Evo Carcharodontosaurus is that it looks like it’s pretending to be a Tyrannosaurid. More robust skull, bony crests, and a smattering of other little details.
@@ethanpena2030 matter of opinion. To me the skull shape doesn’t resemble the typical carcharodontosaurid type skull shape with the pronounced fenestra and is not proportional, looks too small. A carcharodontosaurus skull is around 5 1/2 feet long, similar In size to the giganotosaurus skull, but when next to the giga on here there is a noticeable size difference. Also looks more like a rajasaurus (abelosaurid) with the large osteoderm on the skull.
Honestly. Carc has showed up a lot in Documentaries. Sometimes that might be more so because of Spinosaurus than itself, but still, for a lesser known dino, it probably shows up more than Giga, in documentaries at least. Not to mention Carc was in JPOG, Giga wasnt, and both are now in Ark as well as both JWEs. And yeah, at the time the Megaraptorid that would later be called Aerosteon was a very new find, and Im not even sure if the group Megaraptora had been named yet, and if it did it was thought by many to be within Carcharodontosauria, specifically close to the British, Neovenator; whereas now of course it seems to be pretty absolute that they're positioned somewhere within Ceolurosaurs. Oh also, theres the documentary 'Bigger than T-rex' which I think had one or two scenes with a nice looking stop motion one, and there's also an image for Carcharodontosaurus in Primeval, which was assumedly for an episode they later decided not to do.
I absolutely loved Carcharodontosaurus in Dinosaur Planet. I loved how it was kind of portrayed as this force of nature that was almost unavoidable. There is no fighting this thing, your only option is to run away and hope it doesn't get you. Mixing in elephant calls to make it feel massive definitely helped.
They always portray it as spino fodder, even tho charcharodontosaurus is a close relative of the gigantic giganotosaurus. It was definitely the apex predator of North Africa. And was most likely the aggressor whenever it came across spino
Well no, most likely the spino looked too scary and intimidating for the carchar to want to fight, they’re animals and animals don’t want to hurt themselves. Spino looks huge with its sail and paddle tail, and a carchar could probably take down a spino but they’re probably gonna leave each other alone
@@mikkelmoland9571Also even if Carchar won it would still take damage from Spino's huge ass claws, and while Spino's teeth were made for catching large fish, not large Dinosaurs, its bite would still damage Carchar as well. There is a reason large predators avoid fighting each other if they can help it.
@@SpinosaurusTheProudSocialist you need to take into account, charcharo was of a lineage of theropod well adapted to take on large game. Spino is not, on top of it charcharo is better adapt for land locomotion and both are around equal size. If modern day lions constantly fight Nile crocs(that can be bigger than them), an apex like charcharo was definitely running fades with any other apex in its habitat
I totally agree with you about the "shrink crafted" problem of dino designs. My least favorite design of Carchar is from Planet dinosaur, mainly because the lower jaw looked just too weak to be realistic and natural ( 3:28 ), it doesn't even match the reconstructed skull
Dinosaur King was my first anime, although I didn't know what an anime was back then. The Carcharodontosarus was my favorite in Jpog I'd always made sure to unlock it every playthrough.
Carcharodontosaurus sure is a cool dinosaur and I hope it appears more in media, my favorite will always be Dinosaur King with its colors and everything. Furthermore I wish you hope you have a great day
There was an old dinosaur documentary that I watched back in high school that showed Carcharodontosaurus and it's overall appearance wasn't too bad, it's colors resembled that of JPOG's Carchar.
Not going to lie, when I saw the Dinosaur King Carcar on your video, I knew I gotta see it. Because Dinosaur King was my childhood, and seeing it in anime was my first every introduction to the dinosaur, so for many years, whenever I hear Carcharodontosaurus, I always imagine it as the one from Dinosaur King. Fire Cannon and all
I think carcharodontosaurus was supposed to appear in primeval but got cut, you can see an image of it in an alley if you search cut creatures from primeval
One thing I thought was interesting about dinosaur king is that the original Arcade game gives all of the dinosaurs unique roars and sounds and when they made the anime adaptation they kept these unique roars and sounds. Except when 4kids dubbed the show they removed all of the unique roars and sounds and replaced them with generic dinosaurs roars. I am baffled why they did this since it just make your show less interesting. Here is a playlist of all of the sounds: ru-vid.com/group/PL_NPrPlMUEJhe0W8g83uFd_RSRljkBHhs&si=mrrvlA4rtkndYYyY The sounds for Charcharadontosaurus show up in the fire Dinosaurs sounds at 1:14.
@@darkimflamos1872 your welcome, I thought it was interesting since the DS and Arcade game use the same sound yet the show didn’t, I just assumed that it was like Pokémon where they just don’t use the game noises. Until I watched this fan sub for the first two episodes of Dinosaur King where you can hear the Arcade game roars clear as day. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--C3HlhhYNhY.htmlsi=SYxvAxOdB3apSWEX ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JJ2E5d8uGNc.htmlsi=0Zyidq3a_WxIl2X-
I had a shirt with that picture of carcharodontosaurus roaring at the smaller green dino when I was a kid. It was from Northern Getaway. The cool thing about it was that it's skeleton would glow in the dark!
Carcharodontosaurus also appeared in "when dinosaurs ruled" from 1999 briefly and in "Bigger than t.rex" although the body shape is the one from planet dinosaur with different color scheme.
We need more Carcharodontosaurus!! As far as I'm aware, the only upcoming one is from The Isle!! Bit since the development is going slowly, I'll be underground before I see it complete
One Carcharodontosaurus appearance you missed was from Warpath: Jurassic Park game. Fun fact, that's the game where I first learned about its existence.
I would love to see you tackle the Carnotaurus cuz I love its portrayal in the Jurassic Park novel and being a sort of albino coloration do the re-release of the book with illustrations showing what the dinosaurs look like and overall just an interesting theropod❤ ❤❤
It wasn't mentioned (probably due to its obscurity), but I absolutely loved the depiction of Carcharodontosaurus in Primitive War's 2nd novel "Animus Infernal". I highly recommend checking it out and its nice that it takes the spotlight as the big theropod and several members of the species have a number of important actions throughout the story (won't spoil though.)
The JWE Char skull looks a bit elongated because the tip of the skull is more curved than it should be, actual Carcharodontosaurus skulls were a bit more blunt and rectangular at the end; also the lack of shrink wrapping makes it less obvious where the back of the skull ends.
your right on Carcharodontosaurus being in dinosaur planet as at they have not idea what the skeleton structure of megaraptor was i don't know if it was previously though to be a carchardontosaurids tho
The mod community for JWE1 and 2 vastly improved upon the design of the Carchar if you were interested in that. There's even a mod that brings back the original JPOG version.
Mattel is releasing many dinosaurs under the "Jurassic World" series, and it's quite decent. It feels big with those legs and tail, the skull is roughly in the correct shape, and the brown countershading doesn't look bad. I know it's a toy and TV or film, but I still name it because it's within the JW brand.
The one thing I would like to see with a Carcharodontosaurus is a movie which sadly is the only thing we haven't seen with it accept for it's famous cousin the Giganotosaurus in Jurassic World:Dominion which was a member of the Shark Toothed Reptile family.
If I may try to describe what's off about JWE design: first look at it makes it a generic theropod(quite slim, doesn't look like heavy animal unless we take smaller suggestion of 8m), arms are short, but not as they could be with long fingers, iguana spikes along the back(common trait to make more "cool", monster like dinosaur), weird big bumps on its head(should be fitting for front of Alioramus cousin). As for the skull/head shape, look closely at the upper jaw: it ends with something more like proto-beak, soo pointy, so yeah, it's weird/off.
If I were to desing a dino to show off the skull shape without shrink wrapping i would put something like fake eyes or somthing kinda like the skull crawler on it in the shape of the skull holes instead. plus that's not out of the question preditors could have fualse eys on there body to intimidate potental rivals.
The Ark Carcharodontosaurus has to be my favourite design of the animal, while the size and spikes aren’t accurate, it looks so menacing and metal, it’s definitely better than Ark’s Giganotosaurus.
@@DinoGuy8 Yep, of Carcharodontosaurus. You can check the "Dino Hazard", a Brazilian project that have the Carcharodontosaurus as one of the dinosaurs that lived in Brazil. The project is led by paleontologist Tito Aureliano, and contains a book, pictures, comics and even a game. You should check, its a pretty cool project
I think that the Jurassic World Evolution design is like that because dinosaurs in the game are not 100% but all of them are "hybrids" with modern animals or even other dinosaurs. in the movies of Jurassic Park it is said that even the Tyrannosaurs is not 100% pure as it has some modern animals DNA
The carchardontosaurus has always been my favorite therapod ever since i saw it in JP operation genesis it was definetly the edgy dinosaur using more the black and red scheme while sounding more like a gators hiss rather than huge roars like the rex and i agree i hated JP evolutions rendition it was so wierd.
JWE carcar and giga feel awkward and idk why. Operation Gen carcar was always in my park I loved that design. Was really sad when the jwe design didn't look anything like and they gave it's color palette to Allosaurus??
Jurassic world evo carch: Its probably the lipped area that tapers of into a beak shape, it looks like a mouth breather, the row of spikes that area haphazardly ordered like if a child grabbed the tips of toothpicks and badly cut scraps of paper and strap them on there. The fact that said haphazard ordered made one spike look like some ill fitting unicorn horn as if he's trying to mock my perfect son majungasaurus.
Same, dinosaur king was my Pokémon both anime and the arcade game, Is pretty much my childhood, an caracharodontosaur was favorite. I’m going make this statement which going be controversial, but for dinosaur king was a lot more fun and interesting thank Pokémon and digs on for me personally. Oh an I don’t like JWE rendition of caracharodontosaur, something don’t look right about it.
Bro Evolution carcha gets too much hate, the design is genuinely cool looking and not that bad. Plus I can’t blame frontier because the family group is so similar to each other then I can’t lame frontier for having to take some liberties just to make it somewhat different and more unique for itself
Operation Genesis is by far one of the most interesting and iconic designs of Carcharodontosaurus, I hated when I played JW:E and found out it looked so bad in comparison. Luckily mods exist so I was able to fix it that way.
i hate to say but you really should metion how dinosaur king is an anime based on arcade game cause that would give you more oppurnities for the other 217 creatures that are in dinosaur king. like irritator, eoraptor ecc ecc
Sure! In the context of these videos I mainly look at it through the lens of how I best knew it. That being the Saturday morning Anime. But I can definitely start doing that!
@@DinoGuy8 thats fine! it's just erks me when people don't metion the arcade it feels like lack of reasearch, but that might be just bc i make dk videos.
@@Fern-0217 yeah? theres like 4 arcade games and a DS game. You can still play the arcade games via emulator but the only tutorial is gone from yt now but if your intrested in seeing gameplay of the arcade i got a bunch of videos on it and of course the DS game can be emulated aswell.
