Prehistoric park really is an interesting show, its really cool to see this man travel back in time to rescue extinct animals and bring them back to his Prehistoric zoo in the modern world
@@karenmccausland8029 No. The species Nigel saved was Phorusrhacos, which went extinct 13 million years ago. That's 12 million years before the time this episode took place. In fact, the last known species of Terror Bird in South America, Mesembriornis, went extinct 3 million years ago, 2 million years earlier than the events of Nigel's first mission to prehistoric South America. However, Psilopterus, another Terror Bird from South America, could have gone extinct about 100,000 to 6,300 years ago. However, there's no official confirmation that they went extinct at these points in time, and even if they did, they were only about 2.6 feet tall and weighed 18 pounds.
I also like to think of this design as the male and the Walking With Beasts ones as the females, just like how certain a modern bird species have different feather colouring between the genders.
You gotta remember birds naturally have lighter and hollower bones than mammals so a fight between smilidon and a terror bird/ evolved dinosaur like this would be unclear in a victor. But most cases the mammals would win due to them operating more in number than the terror birds/ therapods
Very good point. As intimidating as they may be, they only weigh a little more than half that of a saber tooth cat. Even if it is able to get an advantage, it cannot withstand the muscle and weight of a mammalian it’s same size. Such a shame they weren’t able to last much longer 😢
No predatory mammals the same size as Phorusrhacos coexisted with it. Terror birds the size of this would have been a worthy adversary and a predator to steer clear of, proven by the success of Titanis excursions into North America. By this time however, most of not all other phorusrhacids were extinct due to rapids climatic changes occurring too quick for them to evolve.
Imanol Lopez Romero: the Phorusrhacos 0:24 doesn't value its life against the Smilodon, it would have it its beak many times instead of running away when defeated. This is weird, 2:10 why doesn't the Phorusrhacos attack Bob? just for being a voyeur doing nothing

I like that when the terror bird escaped it didn't go on a rampage it just wanders around curiously
Like what is would actually do.
CALLÁTE @@Mangotaurus
I know, it’s like giant curious parrot.

2:46 *lives in my head rent free*
i feel like in real life a phorusrhacos of that size would just kick the smilodon in the face lol
Smilodon has more physical strength than a lion, so the cat would be able to withstand the kick.
@@Mohico-San sure, it could take a dirty great big talon to the face easy...
@@Mohico-San well ostrich kicks are capable of killing lions, so perhaps a well placed kick from a Phorusrhacus to a Smilodon could be deadly.
Imanol Lopez Romero: the pick or peak is useful against Smilodon very strong the hit like towards the Titanis
@@Mohico-Sanell that to lions getting kicked in the head by the lighter ostriches
Fun Fact: the terror bird would have been extinct at this point in time. If there was any species left, it would have been found in North America.
You mean that Nigel saved that terror bird just in time

Don't know if I prefer this design or the Beasts design, they both beautiful but I probably lean a bit more to this one.
Imanol Lopez Romero: Phorusrhacos appear in
10.000 B.C
Walking with Beasts
Prehistoric Park
Wasn't the one from 10,000 BC Titanis?
@@dinodisneylover1 I believe so
I also like to think of this design as the male and the Walking With Beasts ones as the females, just like how certain a modern bird species have different feather colouring between the genders.
I think the perfect name for him would be Tristan
What about Tyson
This made me spit out my generic brand Coke.
@@max_sianna1082 Imanol Lopez Romero: there's another Tyson in Disenchanted of Disney

We have no evidence of smilodon group behaviour and they may have been solitary animals

Come on mr terror bird here's dinner
The terror from ancient wild South America..
Oh yes.

Maybe he didn't attack Bob because he was not hungry or just curious
It didnt attack bob because it had no reason to.
Had.
The African Safari.
In real life terror bird could easily kill a Smilodon and fun fact that terror bird went extinct when Smilodon entered South America
Also fun facts: terror bird went extinct because of the ice age not because of smilodon entered South American
I agree 10000000%
Terror bird will still be alive
Imanol Lopez Romero: would have pecked with its sharp beak
Terror Bird
In.
Uh okaaaay
Uh ooookk?
Size of a T Rex
Well.. Maybe it had model similar to that from Walking with Beasts but it had more atractive colours 🧡💛🖤🤎🤍 - while WWB 🤎🤍🖤♥️💜
Good call!
