"A velociraptor without feathers is not a velociraptor." - Perfectly put
If you think birds can't be scary, you clearly never heard of terror birds.
Or emus. Basically the same thing.
Or cassowaries.
Those things are terrifying.
nor gooses lmfao
you clearly can guess that i got attacked by a goose :v
Or seen a crow peck a baby bunny to death. Look at a crow looking at you, now imagine it to be the size of a human.
I really wonder what something like kelenken would have been capable of doing with that massive beak.
Another reason game developers would stay away from feathered dinosaurs might be that they're harder to animate and take up more processing power. Same excuse as for why all male protagonists have buzz cuts in AAA games.
They still could have included one line in the backstory to explain it, like saying they evolved or even that a parasite eats away the root of the feather soon after birth.
Take "Jaws" for example: the shark was so poorly made it often broke down in the middle of filming, meaning they could only use it sparingly. Instead of making a cheaper model they decided to rewrite some of the script and used creative ways to show the shark's presence, take the buoys for example.
Poor technology is not an excuse, if you can't do something then either don't do it or find a way around it.

This reminds me, I recently started brainstorming with someone about how the Dinosaurs could be depicted, if Capcom decides to reboot the Dino Crisis franchise (not just remake a specific installment, but restart the continuity).
We agreed that the Dinosaurs should incorporate a little more scientific accuracy, seeing how the Dinosaurs in that franchise were not chimeric hybrids like those in Jurassic Park. We talked about incorporating feathered raptors, dinosaurs sound-effects based more on bird/crocodilian vocalizations instead of mammals (also unlike Jurassic Park), Dinosaurs like Carnotaurus that actually were more scaly (in order to still give people some scaly Dinosaurs), Inostrancevia with mammalian features, and much more.
When we were trying to come up with ways the “inaccuracies” could be presented in a way that actually complements the lore, we came up with some of the reptiles being completely fictional species/clades that were simply not discovered by fossil hunters yet (like a Pterosaur that develops hawk-like talons/anatomy by convergent evolution towards that niche, or a new marine reptile related to Plesiosaurs that evolved for shallower water and gained more flexible swan-like necks as an adaptation, to give us that Loch Ness Monster imagery without contradicting that fact of plesiosaurs having stiff necks). I came up with the possibility that some of the Raptors could be stricken with a foreign disease/parasite from modern Earth, causing them to lose their feathers like a mangy canine and look similar those creepy raptors from the 2008 Turok game.
Another set of ideas I had involved changing the way Third Energy works within the franchise in various ways. Taking influence from The Lost Land in certain versions of “Turok,” one of these alternate ways involved having Third Energy operate by inducing wormholes to open up between Earth and a similar distant planet, rather than literal time travel portals. It would be stated that over the hundreds of millions of years, these otherwise naturally occurring space/time cosmic phenomena started transporting microbes/plants/animals from Earth to this new planet dubbed “The Noah’s Ark,” allowing samples of different prehistoric species to keep evolving even after the rest of their kind went extinct on Earth. So this planet’s different continents/islands/seas incidentally became a sanctuary for the descendants of ancient fish of all ages, Pterosaurs, marine reptiles, non-Avian Dinosaurs, Carboniferous bugs, Permian animals, ancient whales, Ice Age mammals, etc. Finally, because the animals brought to the Noah’s Ark kept evolving, it could provide another possible explanation for things like venom-spitting Oviraptorids, a descendant of Giganotosaurus being over 60-feet long as in “Dino Crisis 2,” etc.
So those were some examples of how I would build a franchise’s lore to address the “inaccuracies” or artistic license involved.
I stared slack-jawed in awe at that comment for a while. This is the kind of stuff I dream of creating.

I am glad you enjoyed reading this. While my RUclips channel is still in its infancy (and also on hold until I finally have time to finish this one big video project I am working on), one of my ideas for the future was to make a commentary video detailing everything I discussed with my friend, once I have practiced making video reviews. That way, my gameplay/lore ideas for a hypothetical Dino Crisis reboot can at least see the light of day.
Within the last couple of weeks, when I would have nothing to do in my spare time for a few minutes, I also just starting typing up some notes on what I would have each of my hypothetical species be like, if there ever was a rebooted Dino Crisis game that went with my idea of there being an entire Noah's Ark planet filled with the descendants of all different kinds of prehistoric creatures from various eras. So I started creating my own creatures each with their own names, speculated ancestors, sizes, descriptions of appearance/behavior/life-cycle/adaptations, and hypothetical role in the gameplay (as either wildlife in background/cutscenes, herbivores that the player could interact with, stand-ins for all the enemies/bosses from the first two Dino Crisis games, or new enemy/boss types in the gameplay).
So if I make that commentary video, I might tack something on at the end, that also shares the typed-up descriptions for all my hypothetical creatures that would populate a Dino Crisis reboot as I envision it.
Fair point
honestly i really really like the realistic look of velociraptor. its adorable and looks really cool
it's adorable until he show his teeth
@@Algeriawindows69 nah it’s still cute, I mean look at how cute big cats are
I think it looks so much better, before it... it just looked grotesque without feathers, with them it looks like an elegant bird of prey.

There animals not monsters like in jurassic park they don't need to look vicious.

A dinosaur without feathers literally looks like a naked chicken.
Public Comment behold, a man!
Chickens don’t have scales
Doctor Drywell well not the same type of scales
@@Andysgal797 what do you mean? All reptiles habe different types of scales.
I have to disagree
I grew up thinking Jurassic park had accurate depictions of dinosaurs, but now we know that's not the case. It's weird how people would practice such denial over something that has already been proven.
Not your fault. Jurassic Park had accurate depictions - for 1993. Science marched on since then.
Clearly you've never met an Anti-Vaxxer or a Flat Earther.. It's called he Sunk Costs Fallacy and the Gamblers Fallacy. You've already invested so much of your World View into something, and sunk so much of your life and livelihood and money into a thing that it is hard to change your view. For me it's not hard to change how I think and perceive reality, but for some it is harder. Now add fear of ridicule into the mix.
Now I know why they call you the Lone Wolf.
I grew up thinking that T-Rex was a scaled Giant (thanks Spielberg). Then I heard that it could potentially have had feathers. Then I heard that in 2017 new fossils were discovered that yes that T-Rex was entirely scaly. Then I read a bit of that publication and it leaves open the possibility that T-Rex may have partially feathered.
To be honest, I don't think we're ever going to figure out exactly what T-Rex looked like.
"It's weird how people would practice such denial over something that has already been proven." works well with alot of things...
Fun feathered dino thoughts
-Dromaeosaurs crouching down on the dirt and shimmying to take a dust bath, like modern chickens do
-Fluffing out their feathers to trap warm air near the skin in chilly weather
-Spreading their wing and tail feathers to appear larger and attempt to scare off predators and rivals
A thought
-Two dromesaurs fighting for a female akin to modern rooster fights
If you people think that feathers don't look scary. then why don't you approach a bear since fur isn't scary.
or try go near cassowaries, if they'd run towards you of course you're gonna run since it could disembowel you.
sup taco how is wrecksy doing ?
raptormage oh hi. he's doing fine.
Cassowaries scare me. One kick from those huge claws and your guts are spilling out
the casowary is my favourite animal
raptormage the cassowary is my favorite bird.
Imagine being up in a tree to get away from a Deinonychus, and it uses WAIR to run up the trunk towards you.
varanid9 Killer turkeys they are.
I imagine all we would hear would be unintelligible screaming and maybe cuss words lol. That's why if I was running from a Big Cat I'd never go up a tree, since most can climb. We have Puma's here.
varanid9 Well just say fuck
Lex: "Quick, let's climb that tree!"
Timmy: "Bad idea..."
Alan Grant: "They can climb trees..."
Legit terrifying
I think the velociraptor looks cooler with feathers
And cuter! SO KAWAIIIIIIII!!!!!!! :D
Ditto. 😊

Allow me to answer that question with a question. Have you ever heard of a cassowary or an emu?

@@amosvrana6326 What you prefer doesn't effect history. I do love how in the book Jurassic Park they explain that the Dinosaurs looks aren't accurate because they didn't have all the DNA for tue Dinos, so they filled the genetic gaps with the DNA of other animals like Frogs. They also said they added in different genes to make the Dinos look how people expected them to, it's quite clever because it excuses inaccuracies in the looks of the dinosaurs in a realistic way.

Emily Willoughbys illustration of Velociraptor somehow manages to be both adorable and terrifying at the same time.
Honestly feather covered raptors are by far scarier than naked ones. People say some dinosaur will look like turkeys but tell if a turkey was running at you tell me you wouldn't run.
Jorge Rodriguez Diaz Agreed! :)
Jorge Rodriguez Diaz They're both scary in their own right. You can't claim something to be scarier to everyone since fear is subjective.
Likewise.
Most people say that cause they see the animals behind the cage or docile. a wild turkey was very different from the farm raised ones of today and much more dangerous. Never mind that some birds look really damn scary if seen. you ever seen a bearded Vulture. go ahead and take a look. Those things looks like a living raptor. plus they are not small either. that's a perfect example of what a possible raptor with feathers could look like.
Jorge Rodriguez Diaz I used to chase a flock of domestic turkeys on the farm for fun. They ran from me, not the other way around. Cassowaries would be a better analogy.
That intro, I could not agree more. The ARK raptor is hideous, and that's coming from someone with over 1k hours of playtime and genuinely enjoys the game ... Sometimes.
Personally I love the ARK raptors, the feathers definitely make them look better to me, and the vibrant colours of the feathers, especially on the aberrant variant, look great and it makes their annoying pinning attacks look more flowing and elegant, sorry for the necropost
ARK is one of those games you play for a few hundred hours, hate, then play another thousand hours
Generic genericson the ark raptors look like king k rool with fake wings and a Mohawk. It looks nothing like a real utahraptor
@@lemurriso that's your opinion, I gave mine.
I think some of the skins look cool, but it would be awesome if they updated the model to have more feathers. I believe the reason it doesn’t have a full coat is because the engine couldn’t handle it at the time
If I saw a real Velociraptor, I'd scream. Those feathers are scary!
That's your opinion I guess personally I think they look silly I have no doubt that these animals would be dangerous but all animals are dangerous in some manner.
CT - 7428 I'm so jealous of Sauropelta right about now.
if i saw a velociraptor or any dromaeosauroid i would exept my fate bc they're fast, dangerous, some can glide, they can climb, ur pretty much never safe
Jeffrey Gao I would if there are four of them they're the size of a cat
Ryan Lopez it very much depends, a real life velociraptor could be dispatched or dissuaded with a swift kick. Although if they were alive today, I wouldn't go any ware near one without a stab proof vest.
Personally, I actually fine feathered dinosaurs to make evolutionary sense. For example, dinosaurs like Raptors and Troodon, found in cold climates, would have needed feathers to keep out the biting chill of the brutal winters. Most of them were too small by Dino standards to inflate themselves. The others were an absolute necessity for them.
In terms of over actors, like Citipati, found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, actually use their feathers to help incubate their eggs as well as intimidate rivals or attract mates.
Finally, we come to the smaller Raptors including Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus, and Rahonavis. These three evolved feathers exclusively for flight or at least 2 out of 3. It's well known that unlike modern birds, Microraptors and Sinornithosaurs glided. Neither of them had the muscle for powered flight. So instead, they made the most of their four wings. By holding their rear legs back, they had the ability to travel through the forest and a series of long looping glides. Unfortunately for Microraptor, this adaptation can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. As soon as it touch the ground, those long feathers turn from an advantage into a weakness which will make it an easy target for other bigger predators like its own cousin, Sinornithosaurus.
Before the discovery of Yutyrannus, scientists and paleontologist weren't exactly sure if some of the bigger dinosaurs would have or need feathers, but like all of these other examples makes evolutionary sense. Which is shown today by birds.
Silver lining with Ark? they least gave the Quetzalcoatlus pycnofibres and the upcoming Therizinosaurus and Megalosaurus got realistic feather coatings. I actually have spoken with one of the dev team and they told me feathers actually were planned for the Utahraptor, but the game engine at the start was too rough to render them well and it actually caused crashes. Since then they've come up with new tools to help render the feathers and fur on the subsequent birds and mammals, so the Utahraptor was sadly a case of too soon-too late.
+Tarbtano Well the producers of Ark even say none of the dinos are the same species, exactly, as the ones we know in this world.
So, if that's the case, let them go hog-wild I guess.
It's just a game, no need to get worked up. I don't expect realism to be honest. No game is really realistic.
And yes, they can do whatever they want. They're clearly genetically engineered or cloned. If we can force eye color and gender in our own human embryos with our limited ability, you can be sure the enigmatic masters of Ark Island most certainly can force feathers out of the genetic makeup of the dinos.
***** As a kid growing up on media dinosaurs vs actual dinos, I think most kids are smart enough to know ark is only a game, not real life.
I'm an optimist though, so I guess that makes that idea a bit biased.
+Joseph Phillips I saw on spinosaurus-the-fisher.tumblr.com or maybe a-dinosaur-a-day.com that somebody was asked in a gameshow what dinosaur was real, and the person thought that Indominus is real and Brachiosaurus wasn't.
Kevin Anstyadi One (1) uno. Out of how many?
Like I said, most are smart enough, interested enough to learn actual facts while enjoying fantasy and knowing it's fantasy, and have at least guidance enough to learn more.
Besides, that one kid can always correct course.
I'm a Jurassic Park fan, but with common sense I actually like feathered dinosaurs because I am also into paleontology. I'm sick of people criticize Jurassic World, because it's not accurate, but that's not the point of JP franchise. The point is about corrupted companies can alter DNA, but they shouldn't do it and shouldn't play god with DNA. And greed will destroy everything we know. We should be reminded that everything shouldn't fall into the wrong hands. If I offended you TREY the explainer, then i'm sorry. But that's the point about movies and books, they have messages what you should and shouldn't in reality.
I agree thank u so much for speaking out
The Three Noobs You're welcome.
+Ian Bunce It would have been nice to see a few feathers on Blue, but I understand why they didn't.
thanks i agree
+Ian Bunce I think the problem is... What you see in the franchise isn't what modern culture sees. Don't forget, that many still think JP has fairly accurate dinosaurs. I think this is why Trey has the issue, its the cultural stigma behind JP that it plays on only given what people expect without caring if its wrong, thus breeding into the same culture it was bred from.
I love feather raptor, beautiful yet deadly!
Chickknight Greenleaf “killer queen”
Me too
Just imagine how much more terrifying the Raptor Alpha would have been in the Muldoon scene when he said that line. Just imagine that feathered head slowly poking out of the foliage and hissing at him would have been. I think it would have been more impactful.
@@wolfboy18 we talk about utahraptors right
Saying that all dromaeosaurids had the same feather repartition on the body and that vulture head versions did not exist is extremely dogmatic. Phylogenetic bracketing has its limits, all birds are derived from the same ancestor, yet closely related species of birds exhibits the featherless/feathered head varieties.
Old world king vultures are related to eagles at some point. The reason beyond the fact that their heads are naked is adaptation to feeding lifestyle, since they plunge their heads into carcass feathers on the head would end up covered in blood and other wastes, thus offering a gateway to infections. Eagles tend to eat relatively small prey, the selection pressure for bald head is not as strong.
I suspect that small sized dromaeosaurids ate small prey items like modern eagles, so were feathered as depicted here (and I do not see why a feathered crest would be far fetched, modern eagles like Harpia harpyja have them). Big sized Dromaeosaurids like Achillobator and Utahraptor ate either big game they hunted down or carrion and probably faced the same problem than king vultures, so ecologically and evolutionary speaking a bald vulture like head makes sense. Whether it was scaled or simply skinless pink or grey like modern vultures is another question.
The Wolf of Comedy This is a year old comment, my position has since changed and I would tend to agree with you. Bald head doesn't seem far fetched though.
I think the main reason vultures are bald is because they eat often rotting corpses which have a huge chance of infection. A lot of predators that have to bury their heads into a carcass kept most of their feathers, some eagles are known to eat prey as big as pelicans. There's also mammals whose fur would also presumably trap blood, wolves and lions for example. Even hyenas, who often scavenge too, kept their facial fur.
Overall, it's not an impossible theory, but it still doesn't have any major evidence towards it though.

@@michaelaplicador5754 also that was 4 years ago 😬 but yes I did lol
As a kid I always thought the Raptor with feathers looks dumb mainly because of the mohawk cross between thing from JP3. Not the case now, they look way cooler with full feathers.
I can always forgive Jurassic park for scaled dinos because frog DNA, but any other films that do dinosaurs, please do it right.
Suspension of disbelief my good man, without it we wouldn't have films. There are thousands of plot holes in the JP films, like why are the ceiling fans on when the entire parks power is out??? There comes a point in sci-fi where you have to abandon science for the fiction just because you're trying to makes a good story.
What I was saying, if any other films try and do a concept like JP where they bring dinos back, I hope they're feathered as they have no excuse to use scales in this day and age.
use frog dna for scales? XD haha! that doesnt make sense, frogs dont have scales!
Admiral Cat Not just frogs: several other creatures like alligators were also mentioned. I don't remember exactly what was mentioned, but I know at least ONE scaled animal was mentioned.
And Efcaz, if you're reading this, PLEASE comment more often. You both admit your mistakes and are polite to people, plus your comments are some of the most fun things to read I have ever encountered.
6:28 .
That doesn`t mean that it`s wrong to reconstuct other dromaeosaurs with a mohawk, microraptor didn`t have it, alright, but that doesn`t conclude anything for other members of his family. For example:
The `parus major` and the `lophophanes cristatus` are both part of the paridae, just like for example velociraptor and microraptor are part of dromaeosauridae. The p.major doesn`t have a mohawk, but it is the best known trade of the closely related l.cristatus.
So people, to be clear: it is not at all to inaccurate to reconstruct dromaeosaurs with mohawk, except if we have evidence that the species or genus that we are talking about didn`t.
Awesome Video Trey! Wing-Assisted Incline Running would be absolutely terrifying with Velociraptors/ other Dromeosaurs. Just imagine those buggers running up walls at you!
Yeah a giant meat eating bird is still pretty scary, even if it doesn't have powered flight! With all the different raptor media you probably have, it'd be neat to see a full spectrum timelapse from most to least inaccurate or vice versa. Maybe of the family or even just one species
As a bird of prey enthusiast, I approve. No but fr the feathered raptors just look right. Can’t wait for new discoveries to better understand them!
Saying feathered dinosaurs aren’t scary is like staying a Grizzly Bear isn’t scary because it’s fluffy
You guys in the comments probably shouldn't be saying anything bias. You might get TREY mad... But I'm not saying you shouldn't accept truth. The point of the video isn't for how cool raptors look with or without feathers, it's that they did have feathers.
TRUTH!!!
I really think you should do a Paleo short on what Dinosaurs in general sounded like. Very interesting, considering Hollywood usually makes decisions based on what'll thrill the crap outta you on your seat. Are insane roars a product of hollywood? or as real as dinosaurs once were
K Universe no they didn'have a roar (that's a mammalian thin') .. They sounded more "growny", almost like crocodiles for t rex and probably raptors for .. Well .. Raptors
K Universe It's impossible to even know that.
Pokoirl YaSe What if they had sounds which were unknown.Just because they were reptile like doesn't mean they were like crocodiles. They unique sure but I doubt you can even compare them to any animals today. Shit, they apparently even had feathers, which makes it more understandable to see how some people think they were ancestors to modern birds.
People don'think, they are .. Teeth, claws and tail genes are still present in bird genomes
I mean I know you can look at fossils of throats but like how can you know for sure they didn’t have big awesome roars ?
The smooth head makes me want to give a headpat. They look cute and cool at the same time.
I always thought the naked skull like looking dinos were just plain wrong, simply because their reconstructions were uncannily similar to their skeletons, which is not at all necessary.
The accurate images of the velociraptors with beautiful feathers made my day. Makes so much more sense.
anyone who thinks feathers make them less scary have clearly never pissed off a large bird. you will know true terror when that swan chases you, i assure you
They are adorable...
Mr.Scooper idk we eat them now
Yeah, especially when they slash your guts alive
Have to love Willoughby's art. Not quite so scary when you put feathers on them... until the screaming starts. 👍
Very nicely done. I've only just recently discovered your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks for clearing this up. I've seen too many drawings and even museum specimens depicting messy hair-like structures on dromeosaurs rather than the more accurate bird-like aerodynamic feathers.
A short but very good video. I was pleased to see some of Emily's work here, she's just a gorgeous artist. And i squeaked out of happiness when you mentioned the V. mongolensis. From all small carnivorious dinosaurs it's my favourite beside Microraptor. Dinosaurs are trully great, but Maniraptors with feathers are even a little bit more greater. They don't need to be ashamed for wearing feathers, it makes them even more facinating & adorable. 😁
And with wild birds like ostriches, emus, nandus, cassovaries, eagles, falcoons, gooses, ducks & co. or pet birds like budgies, cocktiels or the many other parrots - they never left us completely alone 😉
P.S.: Jurassic Park was a very nice dinosaur sci-fi movie and the novel by Michael Crichton was even greater - but the dinosaurs in this franchise were made by humans (InGen) for humans, they were fictional after all 😉
I love this so much! Thank you for putting this information out there! This really makes me wanna get back into drawing so I can try and draw an accurate representation of velociraptors.
No problem! ;)
If I'm gonna be 100% honest here, I think a tiny carnivorous bird beastie would be a great pet.

The velociraptor with feathers looks wayy cooler, than the jurassic park one.
Time traveler: *goes back to cretaceous Mongolia*
Time traveler: *looks under the wing feathers of a velociraptor*
Velociraptor feather: *MADE IN CHINA*
To be fair the velociraptors in Jurassic Park and World were hybrids, a combination of multiple creatures mainly to fill in gaps in the DNA.
1:23 is one of the most important dinosaur discoveries, depicting a rare "transitional" species (reptile to bird) - then again, it was probably warm blooded................
Trey could you make a video talking about therizinosaurus? Any video really I just wanna see one
3:30 look at this beautiful creature.
And now tell me feathers look stupid on dinosaurs.
The question is not whether Velocirraptors had feathers or not but whether they tasted like chicken or rather like turkey (or duck, or quail...)
Seriouslly now: I just love how these ancient animals show a clear evolution towards birds and how birdlike they were, it's fascinating. I don't care if they look scary or not, nothing as tall as your knee looks very scary to be honest.
Luis Aldamiz yeah. People argue that they are scarier with feathers, but tbh they aren’t. They look like animals, which is why I love them
Ok just to address the elephant in the room, the dinosaurs In Jurassic Park were all hybrids, if that frog dna can change sex then it also has the potential to prevent feathers, but I really liked the video
Question: Could purple dinosaurs have been a thing?
Yes. Considering we have recently discovered a hummingbird sized dinosaur that was iridescent and that modern birds often have very weird colors it was definitely possible. They most likely would have been small, as most larger birds are just regular blacks and browns, but I wouldn't write a large dinosaur off as impossible yet.
Aka Barneyonyx 😂😂😂😂
Oh wait, you were most likely referring to Barney...
It's an old comment but since purple isn't a common color in animals, probably wasn't usual to dinossaurs also.
we know a few species of birds have a blue skin, so most probably.
It's interesting how much of willingness to learn comes from astetic. I've never bin interested in dinosaurs and always thought they looked dumb. I've always much preferred birds, but now that I realize dinosaurs looked like birds, and that birds are dinosaurs I've bin far more interested and learning about them for fun, and to my knowledge the only thing that changed to make me like them more is the knowledge there feathered and look like birds.
It always bugged me how raptors are supposed to be fast and agile yet have bumpy rough skin which wouldn't be very aerodynamic. This certainly settles my mind, good feathers would be much smoother and friendlier to passing air with the added benefit of extra agility from using them like flaps. honestly im not sure if that makes any sense to science. But t makes sense in my head :P
+Torwulf games In modern birds, the feathers also allow more silent movement often so I imagine dinosaurs had the same thing. So you can add this also to the list.
Feathered dromaeosaurs look so noble and sophisticated. This is definitely my new favourite channel.
for some reason I thought Dilophosaurus would have some weird cockatiel crest when i learned they probably had feathers...
_Say, Trey. It would be a great honor if you covered the theoretical life habits of Triceratops! But it's your choice, regardless. ;)_
5:58 Yep. This is the most terrifying feathered velociraptor I've seen
I love the look of the sleek, grey/white/brown raptor at 5:44 - it finally looks like a real animal, sleek and dangerous. I'm going to have to include animals like these in my novel :)
Yup. Note : that’s a dromaeosaur called Deinonychus. The raptors in jurassic park are actually completely based off of Deinonychus (with outdated reconstructions ; as in that time, feathered dromaeosaurs weren’t a thing)
I think feathered creatures are simultaneously terrifying and adorable.
I really enjoy your videos :3 While I'm a fan of Jurassic Park, I'm also into Dinosaurs in general, so it's always awesome to see Dinos as the amazing animals they were and not just "movie monsters". Sadly many people find feathered Raptors boring and not scary :/ If a Utahraptor would chase me I'd be terrified to death, no matter if it's covered in featheres or not xD Keep the vids coming, they're super interesting :D
7:42 But I love that book!!! hehehe well i'll have to update myself. Great content!
I like how the velociraptor looks like a hawk
I hate it when people down credit the JP dinos because people know that JP dinos are genetic freaks of science fiction not accurate depictions. I love my dinos to be accurate in movies but I don't care if the dinos in JP are movie monsters because it is science FICTION and the movies are monster movies. I'm a proud JP fan but I love dinosaurs and I think we all can understand that the ones in JP are monsters not dinosaurs (quoted by Alan Grant)
All of the stutters and hesitations before confusing scientific names are hilarious
ARK: Survival Evolved is much less a dinosaur game and more like a game about surviving with big ass animals.
I love feathered dinosaurs.
Do you think it was like a road runner
Yeh
Roadrunners already look a lot like little toothless Velociraptors that can also fly, so most likely.
Meep meep!
Too be fair Ark's animals are meant to be a fantasy sub species (even the T-Rex) so they weren't meant to be accurate. For example their pteranonodon is known as Pteranonodon Wyvern (there are only two kinds: Longiceps and Genostern) a subspecies that is large and strong enough to ride.
It's a little bit of a stretch to call them subspecies as they all have extremely different sizes, shapes, and skin coverings than their sub-species. The comparison I know I will get is dogs because they are extremely different from each other and can still breed, but that doesn't really count as they had a HUGE factor as to which organisms were allowed into the breeding pool: humans.
Now that I say it, extreme breeding would be an extremely awesome backstory as to why they're so different and yet still able to breed. Might not QUITE fit in with the story, but still better than no explanation as to why they evolved to be so different so fast as to not be separate species.
I don’t know what you mean Trey, robot dinosaurs sound pretty accurate to me.
Whenever you mispronounce something, it honestly makes my mood lift. Not sure why but I appreciate it.
the vultures have the featherless heads to dig into prey without having blood and flesh on their heads which is next to impossible to clean, since raptors are carnivores they might have had the same thing as to not get their faces stuck with rotting flesh.
+Flaming Doom Well, hawks have feathered heads. I think it's just because since vultures scavenge, they eat much larger creatures so they put their heads inside of the bodies while hawks eat smaller creatures like rats and smaller birds.
Animals like T. rex or Giganotosaurus would have no need for a featherless head since most animals they ate would be smaller than them. Smaller raptors would most likely eat small mammals, and large raptors would most likely eat things of a similar or larger size, possibly warranting featherless heads. Ultimately, it's just up to speculation and what herbivores lived in the area.
Well the tyrannosaur and other large feathered theropods would at least be somewhat featherless around the mouth and other places on the face since it still ripped into prey
JURASSIC PARK FANBOY: Feathered dinosaurs don’t look very scary! More like a furry with teeth!
ME: A furry? Okay, try to imagine yourself in Mongolia during the late Cretaceous Period. You come across a velociraptor seen foraging throughout the Gobi Desert. He does resemble and behave very closely to birds, his head bobbing and his feathers shaken by its body. Now, you tend to be
less cautious because you think that maybe it’s too small or weak to take you down, and that you may have a chance. But no, that’s a misconception in the movies. And that moment is where the attack comes from, not from the teeth or claws, but from the jump. Woosh! Another raptor has ambushed you, and there was a short amount of time to react. Because you see, Velociraptor hunts like a bird of prey, but instead of flying at you he would often hide behind some shrubs or plants staying still before bursting at a high speed to you. And then he slits your throat with this... a hook like claw on the fifth toe. He doesn’t bother to tear your spine or face off like in Jurassic Park with it, no no. He slits your throat... either on the neck region or even the interior blood vessels inside the neck, delaying the transport of oxygen. The thing is, you would have already succumbed to the blood loss and injuries before they would feed on you. So try to show a little respect!
imagine walking in a desert and u stumble into a pack of velociraptors, u go to pet it on the head but it bites ur hand, then the rest join in climbing up ur back piercing ur flesh to try make u bleed out, if they were alive they would certainly see us as prey, would u attack a pink fleshy up standing mammal or a rampaging protocerotops with a sharp beek, answers ovbious for the pack, it looks awesome, people who are jp insane are gonna be pissed lol
I don't wanna pet raptors
trey:let's look at some velociraptor depiction
also trey:*shows the utahraptor prime from ark*
So maybe velociraptor was a tree-based hunter and used it feathers to climb trees, run and jump from branch to branch and ultimately jump on its prey from up high either snatching it with its teeth or stabbing it with its talons to hold it while it jaws went for a kill.
objection we found it in mongolia/china
wait no im stupid
Velociraptor kind of looks like a prehistoric road runner.
Ive heard someone said "Oh thats a utahraptor because of the feathers" and I was just.... -_-
I think there's a misunderstanding on the evolution of feathers here.
You said that they adapt velociraptor to speed.
Feathers in dinosaurs adapt to their behaviour, not to create behaviour. Feathers weren't to make dinosaurs faster or more aerodynamic. The type of feather adapted to make the dinosaur faster and more aerodynamic.
Random people: feathers aren’t scary tho!
My pet budgie: allow me to introduce myself
He tries to kill everyone
7:44 White tip! That was my favorite documentary when i was a little kid! Blew my mind away when i learned that dinos had feathers!
Nice video dude! I'll make sure to keep these traits in mind when designing my anthropomorphic raptor characters:)
(Still keeping the mohawk feathers though since they're anthros lol)
so Velociraptor have wings, i always curious why they have small arms, that's explain everything
a velociraptor without feathers is cancerous Lol
+Raptor Lover Chemo-raptor ?
Dem Markus sein Profil exactly :P
+Raptor Lover Or has a bad skin condition!
The Poke'Saurus Bad Hair (feather) Day for Velociraptor :(
Dem Markus sein Profil He went to get a Hair(Feather) cut, then her herd the word "Oops!"
In Jurassic Park, the velociraptors were built off of dromaeosaurid Deinonychus and then genetically modified to be more appealing to the general public as stated by dr wu, the author of the book knew a lot about the subject and had several others help him make sure he didn’t make anything too out of whack.
I think raptors with few feathers like ark's tumbnail looks the best
You may have already done this, but could you do a video discussing the possibility of quadruped dinosaurs having feathers?
Bardon222 He did a video of witch dinos had feathers covering all types.
WHY CAN NO GAME OR TV SHOW/MOVIE GET THE SIZE, APPEARANCE AND TIME PERIODS RIGHT!?!?!?! Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?! D:
Because there shows?
Thanks to spielberg. People want monsters, not accurate representation of animals. People would say something like: why would I want to see big birds in a dinosaur movie?
In the future, I will write a graphic novel about dinosaur characters but they're accurate.
Hey, atleast Ark has a Spinosaurs that walks on four legs
yay
It's foward limbs use it's palms not knucles.
DarkiLordito It is still extremely inaccurate, regardless. The tail is extremely inaccurate, the creature in the game was depicted with tons of webbing-crests sticking out which was definitely not the case.
Monachus Bibe I agree with the first account but the second... There's no way we can know what kind of soft tissue had Spinosaurus. Just look at Edmontosaurus regalis head comb. Something like that is possible in any Dinosaur.
babehunter1324 Yes but did you see the webbings? They're put in spots that can't even give the spinosaurus an advantage in swimming, and it is put on random spots. Also, the snout of the spinosaur has random spikes that again are pretty much useless. The design of the in-game spinosaur was just made to look "cool" and not scientifically accurate, like the majority of the creatures in the games.
Monachus Bibe Yeah I said is "possible" in most accounts, not likely tough. Also considering that they got some basic anatomical aspects wrong (the sail doesn't match neither Ibrahim nor Heeaden reconstruction, the torso is too short and wrongly shaped, the skull is generally too robust and it has pornating hands) it is a given that it is far from accurate.
I know that I sound biased but I am happy with what raptors look like with feathers. I never understood why Jurassic park raptors were portrayed that way in the movie.
I like feathers on dinos. It really helps remind people that they are animals and aren’t vicious movie monsters
people who think dinosaurs with feathers arent scary enough: the inside of the mouth is still the same
Lol i know im in the minority here
But i honestly prefer the JP/JW raptors then the scientific ones
I just find them more satisfying and pleasing to look at
I like the scientific ones but like
Idk there is something about them that i really dont like
I usually draw my raptors somewhat inaccurately by making their face not be covered in feathers and giving them inaccurate tail feathers (i still cover their body in feathers though and i sometimes give them clothing like leg warmers just because)
Idk those are just my thoughts goodbye
EDIT: i know science doesn't give one about opinions but i still stand by my word
Snek Mom Well, you are a snek mom after all, you can just pretend that they are vulture raptors.
Yeah that's what i usually do lol
Fair enough, despite what a lot of the comments say, I find scaly raptors more intimidating, though I will admit, I personally find feathered raptors more natural and believable
@@user-mp8wy8lp4y although i have started to like feathered raptors better over the past couple of years i 100% agree
@@Snekky1 Cool
i personally think that male raptors had mohawks that they could fold down or flare up depending on the situation
I really hate people that criticize games and movies that have non accurate Dino’s. Well kinda. Ark dinosaurs are subspecies of others, and JP, well just watch the movie
Me too, it just makes me cringe when I see someone saying, HAhA ScALy RApToR bAD fEAtheR rAptOR GoOD. Like, no one cares, it's not the end of the world just because some movie or show depicts dinosaurs as giant monsterish type things and not your average goose or deer.
You've made me fear modern birds more Trey! Whenever I see a bird I throw something at it!
