@@kevinzhu6417 RIGHT?! my Grandad used to love watching the Discovery channel when he was alive. And with good reason as the programmes mainly consisted of original documentaries examining a wide range of subjects. All it is now is the same moronic pseudo-reality, 45 minute advertisement, maskerading as 'entertainment' at best. I think that it says a lot about how 'they' are endeavouring to steer our thinking. Or rather, ensure that we do much less of it.

One thing I particularly like about Walking With is that the confrontations actually look like animal confrontations, i.e. long threat displays, sudden violence then more display. A lot of more recent documentaries (on Curiosity Stream for example) make it look like a video game deathmatch. That's a great source of clips for TierZoo but a ridiculous representation of animal behaviour.

@mrmayo5905 4 года назад

Part of why this series is so good, in my opinion, is that it was willing to speculate with unconventional ideas, which is something not enough paleo documentaries do these days.

@hedgehog3180 4 года назад

I think the speculation in areas where it's justified is important, especially for bringing the animals to life but also to help inspire people. People speculating about possible behaviours of prehistoric animals are our best way of trying to approach what they might have been like and once someone comes up with an idea we can try to test it. It's also a great way to engage people in science since there's a lot of room for speculation and it's quite fun to do so, especially when you have fairly good knowledge about the animal to go on.

What,Like that 3D movie they made? I’m not sure if the series was edited or rebooted that it would have the same heart to it. Better to hope other dinosaur documentsries take the mantle.

@GreaterGrievobeast55 4 года назад

Egg Nog thats what i’m saying. People are just gonna make it worse than the documentary series. I suppose its not i,possible to do so,ething new with the series considering all the spinoffs but it would be difficult.

I am still so surprised whenever I see anurognathus. It looks so alien. It looks like it should be some sort of fantasy creature. Like a recreation of a child's drawing of a bat. It is just so weird! AND I LOVE IT!!!

I love your review of this timeless series! Personally I did a large paper about the potential predatory behaviors of Allosaurus in college a few months back, and I loved how you brought in the same modern research! My favorite idea is the one I call "Spontaneous hunting parties". Since Allosaurus were so theoretically plentiful during the Jurassic, it's possible that multiple Allosaurus would target a single sauropod during their hunts, and they would "accidentally" team up. Since there's some evidence of intraspecific competition, they could have fought each other for the best meat on the body once the kill was made. Thanks for the cool video!

Please do walking with Prehistoric beasts! I love this series.

@dubbingsync 4 года назад

Wasn’t that just called Walking with Beasts? Unless it got renamed in other countries? Because here in the UK it’s always been called that.

I love this series so much. This documentary helped strengthen my love for prehistoric life in general and I love it even more for it. The one thing I do have a question about is the diplodocus having a whip like tail. While the part of it being whip like is very likely true, I don’t believe that it would whip around like it does in the special.

Thank you for explaining what "shrink-wrapping" means - I legit thought it was to do with the modeling and animation technology.

Very well put together video, I'm a huge fan of the series too. I can't wait for the rest, especially Giant of the Skies and Death of a Dynasty (those are my favorite episodes)!

Really looking forward to the Big Al review. That special is the reason why Allosaurus was my favourite dinosaur as a kid.

Please cover the rest of this documentary! Giant of the Skies was always my favourite part, I can't wait to see what level of accuracy it achieved

@lostnumbr 4 года назад

the argument for the rearing up and blood pressure contradicts the information about how it likely held its head and neck naturally. if the neck was almost vertical then its brain is already several meters higher than the heart...

@KurNorock 4 года назад

As far as why they would have long necks if they weren't eating food high in the trees.. What if they are grazers of low lying vegetation like shrubs and bushes? Then they could simply swing their heads from side to side, grazing in a wide path. They could eat much more food without having to walk nearly as much. It would be a way to efficiently consume low energy vegetation without spending a bunch of energy to get to it.

Kur Norock You pretty much hit the nail on the head in terms of contemporary paleontological thought on the subject.

@lucjicare 4 года назад

absolutely love these since this was probably the single piece of media I watched most as a kid and still holds the number one spot of dinosaur documentary till this day for me. even with the utahraptors being naked chicken. I'd also love it if you talked a little bit about the sounds the dinosaurs made like the rumbling and bellowing of the diplodocus and the roaring of the allosaurs and if that's in any way accurate. Keep it up!

@DutchSkeptic 4 года назад

Oh this is brilliant! I really like this review of that iconic series that stirred my own fascination with dinosaurs as well. I've just re-watched the series and this is great commentary to go with it. Subbed.

@TheropodHunter 4 года назад

9:15 having finally been able to watch Walking With Dinosaurs, I have to agree here. The animations of the creatures in general and the sauropods specifically is absolutely amazing. There are modern CG dinosaurs that are animated way worse. I work in the digital media industry and get annoyed by bad CG easily, but the animations in this series made me completely suspend my disbelief regardles of the (understandably) dated looking rendering. Especially the wide shots of the Sauropod herd are just so beautiful and make me imagine how breathtaking it would have been to see these magnificent creatures in the flesh

@BioniclesaurKing4t2 4 года назад

@nikmarshall2989 4 года назад

These are really awesome, I thought I had a good grasp on what was and wasn't accurate to the current theories in this series, since I too grew up on the walking with series and have tried to stay realtively up to date on cool dinosaur discoveries, but I always learn at least 3 new things in your break downs. Very excited for the next one.
