As someone from Thailand I'd like to inform you that if you see any specimen found in Thailand with "phu" in the name it is very very likely that it's supposed to be pronouce as "poo". Like Phuwiangvenator is pronouced "poo-wiiang-venator". Love you guys' videos so much, never thought there'd be a day I hear one of you mentioning a dinosaur from my country.
Ayooo hello, fellow Thai person!! also I wanna add a little more context for the Crew: phu means mountain in Thai. It also shares the etymology as Phuwiangosaurus, which was found in the same formation.
I distinctly remember that brief time when Megaraptor was reconstructed in media as a giant Dromaeosaur, the one that stands out was Dinosaur King’s Megaraptor which was a huge Dromaeosaur, but I believe it was in the same year Megaraptor was found to not be a Dromaeosaur after all.
Warpath: Jurassic Park also had Megaraptor, which was portrayed as simply a scaled-up Velociraptor. The funny thing is it also had Spinosaurus, which was shown as a generic theropod with a sail and was a moveset copy of Megaraptor. Even funnier is that Suchomimus was also playable, and it was the largest dinosaur on the roster and pretty accurate to the real animal besides the size, foreshadowing JPIII's Spinosaurus.
I rememeber Jurassic Park Warpath and even some RUclips home video made by some kid with lego people and a giant dromaeosaur about megaraptor back when people were talking about the 9 meter dromaeosaur thing. I loved spinosaurs growing up but when it got reduced to essentially "just another spinosaur" I was sad. Imagine me coming back four years after my 2015 hiatus from dinosaurs to find a giant carnivore with the hands of a spinosaur (and the build of an allosauroid since at the time they were uust starting to say it was more likely a coelurosaur).
the "polar allosaur" is based on a single toe bone found in the Strzelecki Ranges in Victoria in 1978 by Tim Flannerey at Eagles Nest (also first site of australia's first confirmed dinosaur material in 1903), which is about 4.5hrs drive from Dinosaur Cove where Leaellynasaura was found, they're both in the Eumeralla Formation which is Aptian to Albian, where as the Banjo specimen was found in the Winto Formation which is Late Albian to early Turonian, though the "Allosaurus" is now suspected to if not be another Australovenator then another similar megaraptor species :)
That's literally the best description I've ever heard of the SVP experience. My voice was literally squeaking by the end like I got timeshifted back to 13 years old. Vocal cords going on strike.
Australovenator is the second megaraptorian to appear in the Jurassic franchise-the first being Megaraptor itself which debuted in Warpath: Jurassic Park. Granted it was just an overgrown Velociraptor in that.
This is one of the few carnivores who can be peaceful with hadrosaurs and sauropods so I like to use it for “game trail” type areas where there’s a mix of carnivores and herbivores and then I try and get one of the vehicle tours to run through it
G'day folks! Aussie PhD Candidate working on Australian megaraptorids, including Australovenator. I also considered the megaraptoran phylogeny as part of my PhD, but ultimately decided to preserve my sanity. I'm going to try and make this as Aussie sounding as possible: we typically pronounce it "oss-tra-low-ven-ah-tor", but say that really quickly. Megaraptorids are quite prominent in the Australian mid-Cretaceous, but we only have the one really good taxon - Australovenator. We actually see isolated megaraptorid bits in the upper Strzelecki Group (aka "Wonthaggi Formation"; ~121.4-118Ma) and Eumeralla Formation (~113-108Ma) of Victoria; and isolated bits as well as (very) partial skeletons from the Griman Creek Formation (~100.5-96Ma) of New South Wales and Winton Formation (~95Ma) of Queensland. Australovenator isn't Aptian, it's Cenomanian, hence (early) Late Cretaceous - just sneaks in. The oldest megaraptorids in the world are found in the upper Strzelecki Group, which is almost coeval with the megaraptorans of Thailand (Phuwiangvenator & Vayuraptor) and Japan (Fukuiraptor). The megaraptorid record stretches from 121-95Ma in Australia, and then from 90Ma to the Maastrictian in South America. In the Strzelecki, we're seeing megaraptorids with the enlarged claw, among other things (*coming soon). Eumeralla also has megaraptorids with the distinct claw, and this is the formation that Leallynasaura is from. The megaraptorid material has been called Australovenator cf., but it's not quite wintonensis. Both of these deposits lack Sauropods, but are rife with ornithopods. The problem with the Victorian megaraptorids is there is never enough to establish a taxon, so it's all just isolated Megaraptoridae indet. bits and can be overlooked. The cast astragalus "Allosaurus robustus" is NMV P150070 - has been reclassified as Megaraptora indet. so yeah, the Polar Allosaur in WWD should be megaraptoran/id. We don't actually have evidence of megaraptorids from the Mackunda Fm, where Muttaburrasaurus is from, so we don't actually know if they coexisted. Griman creek is where Rapator comes from - none of us know the etymology, I usually just chalk it up to Aussie slang - chuck an "a" in it, and it sounds Aussie 😂 . Yes, it's just a metacarpal I, but it's a megaraptorid-looking metacarpal I. Griman Creek also has "Lightning Claw", a megaraptorid known from ~5 or 6 incomplete and opalised bones, including the proximal end of the big manual ungual. Unfortunately, no metacarpal, so don't know if it's Rapator or not, but it is certainly distinct from (and older than) Australovenator. Winton has Australovenator, and other indeterminate megaraptorid bits. There are no ornithopods there (for now) - just megaraptorids and sauropods. As with anything, we need a ton of fossils to fix the problem. We're trying! Outside of Queensland, though, our deposits aren't great, and so it's usually just isolated, fragmentary bits to tell the story. Also, it's an A. I get the direction they went for the skull (based on the original), but I feel like it looks too allosaur/neovenatorid and not coelurosaur enough.
What I like about Australovenator is that it was THE novel Megaraptoran for a while. Despite the scant remains, there was just enough to give people an idea of the general shape of these weird butchers. It's partial jaw material was found before the Megaraptor material and once the latter was described did we finally have more room to figure things out.
I love the Megaraptors since regardless of their proper placement (I personally favor Tyrannosaurs) they standout as a carnivores Therapod family that seem to favor or make much more use of their arms. Where as both Tyrannosaurs and Carcharodontosaurids favor large skulls and using their mouth and teeth.
Oh I really love the fighting animation! It's so good how they jump at each other and knock each other around, I'd describe it more as sparring rather than fighting! Very well done
I really like megaraptorans (even though scientists know next to nothing about them) and im super happen one was included in the game, hopefully we could get another one in JwE3
I think this is a fairly strong addition to the game's roster, especially as its first (and only) megaraptoran. I like how it gets to use its arms in its hunting animations and how it climbs the fence to escape. Also, I'm quite fond of megaraptorans as a whole, their long arms basically make them real-world versions of Indominus/Indoraptor. My favourite megaraptoran is definitely Maip, mostly because it's the biggest and has the most edgy name which literally means "the shadow of death that kills with cold wind". (Also, Frontier needs to add this species to JWE3!)
Regarding the Australovenator claw debacle: welcome to the frontier animal game communities! I promise it’s worse on the Planet Zoo side, mostly for different reasons
So so happy that a megaraptor gets such a pretty design in a game!! They're my absolute favorite family and if things work out I want to do work on them one day :]
Another dinosaur I really like and have in my parks, usually in the Australia-themed section of the park along with Mutta, Minmi, Tylosaurus, and the default design of Dreadnoughtus. Beautiful skins and great animations. Megaraptoridae is probably one of the most convoluted and messy classifications in paleontology.
41:58 Wait, I remember that paper. Didn't they find Eotyrannus being outside Megaraptora? It was inferring that the Megaraptors were a second major family in Tyrannosauroidea.
Love how the Austrolovenator animations are so great, Frontier reused it's hunting animations for the Utahraptor (mostly) and the straight ripoff for the Spinoraptor
The thing with the “Australovenator” in Walking with Dinosaurs, it’s not Australovenator, it’s Allosaurus robustus which was later assigned as an indeterminate Megaraptoran, so the Polar Allosaur was assumed to be Australovenator by fans & the creatives behind the show just went with it.
As of this video, the average dinosaur ranking is a high B. I did this by assigning a numerical value to each ranking, multiplying that value by the amount of dinosaurs in each ranking, the dividing by the amount of dinosaurs ranked so far. I also excluded the 2 dinosaurs in fiendish Dr. Wu category as they don't deserve to be apart of the equation. If this trend of ranking continues, we can expect an average of low B by the time the rankings conclude.
Glad there is at least one Megaraptorid in the game to represent the group as well as more extinct Australian fauna. It's a shame there aren't more of some family groups like them and therizinosaurs given the abundance of others like the stegosaurs and pterosaurs but at least designs like this one really stand out in detail and creativity. (Also I'm going to casually place my bet that the final 3 animals the Crew ranks will be Spino, Mosa and t-rex. History will decide whether or not I'm right. XD)
15:30. Wait. I remember there was a (mostly) complete skull of a juvenile attributed to Megaraptor itself. Has that never been described? It was all the news. Also, I remember that they were first placed as a Drome member due to a misinterpretation of Megaraptor's hand with a foot.
I was looking for someone who made this comment before I posted it, and was not disappointed! Was Australovenator the first species in the whole series that got a SASS ranking? That can't be right!
It's parts of a posterior skull, no rostrum so the degree to which the skull was elongated is unclear. The lacrimals anterior process is kinda long...but this happens in normally proportion theropods to, so hard to say.
@alexruebenstahl6342 Thanks Alex, I think I may had somehow conflated Murusraptor preserved skull with some other taxon (maybe Qianzhousaurus? doesn't make much sense, but idk)
The only correct pronunciation is obviously AustraloVENator, analogous to RAPator. As for "Huene", that's an old spelling of "Hüne" (a rather archaic German word now mostly used to refer to a very tall and imposing man); the e at the end is pronounced like "-uh" in English.
Careful, now. You laugh at the idea of intentionally misspelling dinosaur names, but do keep in mind that that's dangerously close to legitimate palaeoentomologist talk. See also everyone's most beloved dinasor (beetle) _Tyrannasorus rex_
James you shouldn’t use incandescent rage. It’s very inefficient. Using fluorescent rage will mean you’re able to remain enraged for much longer with less wasted heat
On voice change: that octave drop may actually have been useful at SVP. I assume it’s still male dominant audience? This is actually a thing for effective communication. Older or male dominated audience? Less sensitivity to higher pitched voices( you loose those frequencies first as you age). Thought you were actively employing that😂 nope just talked a lot
As far as I know it’s almost always recovered as a tyrannosauroid only a few steps outside tyrannosauridae. Definitely not a megaraptoran, it seems firmly in tyrannosauroidea
@@taylormccoy8339Yes. The only Tyrannosauroids recovered as even closer to Tyrannosauridae are Appalachiosaurus and Bistahieversor,when it's not recovered as a Tyrannosaurid anyway
@@andrewshear2927 recent doesn't necessarily mean better, although I could buy that one. It also means we should probably start reconstructing them with more fluff.
I want them to be close the Tyrannosaurs because it would be ironic how one line of them which made it to the Maastrichtian went all head, no arms while another went all arms, no head.
James you need to stop thinking of "people with opinions on JWE2 designs" as a single hivemind, where people who on Twitter complained about a design when it was released and people in your comments section disagreeing with your ranking of Acrocanthosaurus. Perhaps these two groups of people are distinct and have separate opinions and priorities about what they like. One group is objectively wrong but that doesn't mean they're the same group disagreeing about the priorities of not including the high spine of Acrocanthosaurus unless you can pick out a particular person who complained about both, which, then you have to prove that they had continued to think that about Australovenator in the time since the pack released and the video came out

I think it was included so that you could play as a Velociraptor without being tiny.

There is a paper on australovenator biomechanics which suggests a 'hug of death' mode of killing
this is a good Channel
We think so too

There was published skull (MUCPv595) with a premaxilla, maxilla, nasal, frontal and partial braincases. Generously half a skull.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
Why the long face?
