Today I learned that when a scientist says, "this animal does not exist," what they are actually saying is, "we have arbitrarily named this creature incorrectly."
I sure hope Dalton's computer doesn't vanish from existence so we can finally see the 4 hour discussion about the grand total of 3 bones that are known from Atrociraptor
Megalodon's contemporaries from the Pisco Formation in Peru are really interesting creatures worth talking about. We have stuff like: Livyatan, a giant raptorial sperm whale that's almost always depicted fighting Megalodon Acrophyseter, a 4-5 meter long sperm whale. It may have been the smallest raptorial sperm whale. Odobenocetops, a toothed whale with an unusually shaped skull and tusks. Its tusks could grow to at least 1 meter in length in one species (O. Leptodon). Thalassocnus, a ground sloth with sizes ranging from 2.1 to 3.3 meters and the only aquatic xenarthran. It probably fed primarily on seagrasses and "walked" along the sea floor while foraging. Acrophoca, a seal that was not as specialized for aquatic life as more modern seals due to its less developed flippers. It was thought to be ancestral to leopard seals but appears to be more closely related to monk seals. Piscogavialis, an 8 meter long marine gavialid crocodilian that may have primarily preyed on fast-swimming fish. It coexisted with another gavialid Sacacosuchus, which was only 4 meters long. Sacacosuchus had a more generalist diet. Some species from the Pisco formation that coexisted with Megalodon are still alive today, like the humboldt penguin, sand tiger shark and great white shark.
Informational: "Park Manager" is the phrase Frontier uses to refer to the player in all text blogs and trailers. "Park Manager's Collection" means "Players collection", as it's all creatures heavily requested by the playerbase: Megalodon is probably the most requested creature of JWE2s lifespan Microceratus has been a common request since JWE1 and was strangely absent from both Dominion DLCs Segisaurus has been a common yet niche choice for a while due to its canonimity Thanatosdrakon. Not Informational: No really, Thanatosdrakon is a lovely design but I'm not the type to roll over and accept every decision Frontier makes. It's a players choice pack, genuinely about 5 people asked for Thanatosdrakon, why on earth did Frontier pick this over most other Azhdarchids? If they didn't want to do Hatzegopteryx because the animal still can't walk, okay I guess; but then Arambourgiania and Cryodraken were still fairly requested as opposed to unheard of. If it's cause they wanted to add a small Azhdarchid, Phosphotodraco was more requested in that regard; and also Thanatosdrakon was still the height of a T-rex and yet in-game isn't even half as tall as one. I don't care what Twitter and Reddit say, adding this specific creature in a popular choice pack is baffling and honestly a dumb decision imo.
@@SmashBrosAssemble yeah don’t say “undoubtedly” this is the end most likely. The second JWE had aquatics and pterosaurs are the main new creatures to draw in people. Most likely they will use cenozoics and maybe prehistoric insects like arthroplura in the 3rd game to get people hyped and buy it
It's basically a fan highlight pack. Segisaurus and Microceratus round up the film canon species and both are often included in fan dlc lists. Megalodon or at least a prehistoric sharkbis a often requested species as well. Thanotosdrakon seems like the weird one out. As there is quite a few other pterosaurs that pop up more often like Dearc. That being said another Azhdarchid at all is an common request. Overall i love all four of them. Thanotosdrakon is amazing as a plaeo accurate design, i love they didn't just make Megalodon an oversized Great white, Microceratus is adorable in a fucked up pug way (and they got both their movie skins), and Segisaurus looks like he just walked out of the Jurassic park with the classic 90s dinosaur toy look.
There's a recurring theme where dinosaurs that were given names preoccupied by bugs become nomen dubia or junior synonyms of other taxa later on (Ingenia, Syntarsus, Microceratops, Diceratops, Protognathus). Now I'm not saying it was Big Entomology, but golly is it interesting.
I remember talking online about how the Microceratus is a great example of how a lot of the dinosaurs from Jurassic World look inbred once you start getting used to more lifelike reconstructions and someone pointed out that the Microceratus from Dominion is most likely inbred, considering where it appeared in the movie, and that was a very wise take on its design. It fits the canon and allows it to look god awful.
42 mins into this video and I am liking because if the exact season and episode knowledge from alex about when blurgs where introduced into star wars cannon
Congrats to James for editing a 3 hour vid so close to moving house 😄Was genuinely wholesome to listen to Dalton talk passionately about sharks though my excitement may have peaked when Alex referenced the Clone Wars 😂
the park managers dlc is actually themed !! :33 its all of the requested things from the players :) megalodon has been heavily requested, people have wondered where microceratus has been since it was in the dominion dlcs, segisaurus is niche but still requested and was technically listed as a species ingen cloned, and people are confused on thanatosdrakon but i think its because people wanted another Azhdarchid in the game :3
This pack is really cool from a gameplay standpoint as we now have more uber-cheap little critters that are easy to exhibit, which makes them great for higher difficulty challenge parks. I really like that the Segisaurus feels very "Jurassic Park" to me. Something about its skull, its skin and the general colour combinations you can pull off. In general I just really dig the vibes of each of these new species, even Microceratus.
Ah yes, the Skeleton Crew are covering my favorite DLC pack The ugly cute tiny ceratopsian, the one thats bigger than Compy, the most beautiful Azhdarchid model thats in a Jurassic World game and Meggy. And 3 hours too? Perfect to listen to while studying!
Thanatosdrakon is a very nice pterosaur addition that I'll definitely use, but yes I agree with Scott, why the hell isn't this Hatzegopteryx? Especially since this is essentially supposed to be the "Here's your most requested creatures before we end support of the game and make Evolution 3" Pack. I've never actually seen anyone request Thanotosdrakon once, I didn't even know about it until they introduced it into the pack. But I've seen A LOT of people request Hatzegopteryx back when the Dominion DLC was released since they were obviously capable of making the Quetza, and even Rhamphorhynchus was requested since launch.
20 min in and James is a confirmed menace. And we love him 40:12 had to pause the video from the horror of that mouth opening 55:09 sooo does that mean a scientist can call a new dinosaur Manospondylus gigas or Dynamosaurus imperiosus with no/little issue from the powers that be.
I think the reason this DLC is a mish-mash is because it’s the last one. They’re working on JWE3 and this was a “there you go now it’s in the game” before it ends
I really enjoy the spots and stripes as an obscure reference to some of the more nontraditional theoretical reconstructions of the shark. Depictions leaning towards a more Sand Tiger type body plan for example!
The currently accepted amount for Megalodon's bite force is 40k lbs per square inch. So yes, its bite is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than T-Rex's. There is a reason why Megalodon is the record-holder for the strongest bite of any animal that ever lived.
i had to take a break but now im back and im listening to Dalton go sicko mode about Megalodon. im so glad you guys are in the science communication community. i legitimately enjoy gleaming insights from all of you
There is a theme. It’s likely the last DLC of the game so they added some of the most requested animals. The Meg has been wanted since they did lagoons. The Dino’s are the last 2 canon Dino’s from the movie/novel to be added to the game. The Pterosaur is the only random animal to be added.
Ah man they didn't see the animations where the meg actually rolls his eyes back! Also yougiys still haven't seen the new Gigantoraptor animations, still great video
@@Raphus_2001 Bestinslot has a video on both, Gigantoraptor since being added has been given the ability the hunt and kill things with new animations for it and when the Meg attacks another animal in the lagoon it rolls it's eyes back like a great white
2:55:07 I actually bought this book a few months ago! It's the Audubon Society Pocket Guides: Familiar Dinosaurs! Wonderful book. Most of the paleoart is fantastic, though multiple artists contributed and let's just say one of their styles has aged more than the others
Potentially unpopular opinion ... but I absolutely cannot believe that anyone actually cares about Segisaurus. However I will concede that it's skins look awesome, and I like that it looks like something that could've been in the original Jurassic Park. I just wish it did something unique, like eating from the Insect Feeder or something.
I wish it was more special too but if it ate from the insect feeder that wouldn’t make much sense if things like compy and other scavengers didn’t too since they would probably all equally eat insects. there’s no evidence for segi being more of an insect eater than the others unlike jehlopterus. Also I think since the insect feeder is apart of the feathered dlc they can’t add more creatures to eat from it since they would have an insectivore whose feeder is locked behind a different dlc. Hopefully in the third game a lot of the small critters can eat insects
When you realise that atrociraptor has been pushed back 4 months, what did he do 😭 Edit 1: im watching this 5 minutes after my best and only friend of 5 months left me so you guys' humour is REALLY helping me rn 😂 Edit 2: crucial question for james, what were your mains in rainbow 6? Mine were lion and rook Edit 3: the ICZN was formed in september 1895 which could explain the odd choice of wording
This definitely felt like the "There, this is in the game, now shut up" DLC. I LOVE the Megalodon and Thanatosdrakon, I strongly dislike Microceratus, and Segisaurus is just a slightly changed Coelophysis. I do wish this isn't the DLC the game ends on, tho. As for the ICZN wording: "Some of the worst things IMAGINABLE have been done with the best intentions..."
3:00:00 thanks James for putting into words a thought that I've had about the game's approach to animal patterns for a long time now. that said, honestly I think the Meg's current look has maybe the most authentic feel I can imagine for it that isn't either plain with coloured fin tips or a pattern that's lifted wholesale from a tiger shark. also you said exactly my thoughts on the Microceratus too, calling it a Star Wars creature lmao. overall a pretty solid pack but Thanatosdrakon is the standout for me, what a beautiful animal, especially that pattern that had a reddish bill with darker bands around it. my number one wish from JWE3 is that azhdarchids are liberated from the constraints of the universal pterosaur skeleton, so that they can behave and move around more like real azhdarchids are thought to have done. anyways, can't wait for next week, when the Atrociraptor video is once again waylaid by Frontier quickfire announcing their grand finale DLC; the long-awaited, much-anticipated Asian Stegosaur pack.
Think it's called the Park Managers Collection because 2 of the creature were highly requested. The Microceratus for being the one Canon Dinosaur that up to this point have yet been put in the game, and the Megalodon because people want this fish in everything. Tho some people think the Meg would fit a Cenozoic Pack better since Camp Cretaceous did feature a Smilodon
I'm personally not a big fan of megalodon as an animal, a little over-hyped, but the colors and patterns they gave it go so hard. Thanatosdrakon is my personal favorite of this pack, purely because it is a reasonably sized azdarchid pterosaur
The final on-screen (live action) dinosaur, the last of the 15 dinosaurs on InGen's List, a big shark and a dragon of death. While this is (possibly) the last DLC, Frontier has gotten their Jurassic World license extended by Comcast, so there's going to be a Jurassic World Evolution 3 in the near future, most likely next summer. So there's a chance a final DLC for JWE2 would be coming out by the end of this year.

I think Segisaurus gives 90s vintage paleoart vibes and I'm here for it.
Well, it's not Atrociraptor, but it's still three hours of Skeleton Crew! I called it >:3
