Yeah, and in more ways than one (please refer to scholarly or otherwise reliable sources which discuss the general anatomy and biology of archosaurs for more information)

They recently discovered a Cymbospondylus species that could get as big as some modern whales I think it's time they remake the series so the king can retake it's rightful throne
I'm now playing this while being hungry at first and then chasing cookies like a human-version of the Cymbospondylus 😂😂 And i know you can't chase cookies but i would be depraved if i chased a cat, a dog or even one of my own rabbits or another person and eating it alive. 😂
In well now news now but a new species of Cymbosondylus has been founded C.Youngorum and it’s huge putting this creature at 17.6 metres long and 3.4-3.6 metres height. (Don’t know weight) basically a 60 foot monster…
@@DanielCorpuz223 Thalattoarchon works too, but Himalayasaurus was much, MUCH worse. It’s a shastasaurid (or relative) with Thalattoarchon-like teeth, indicating it was also a raptorial apex predator, and it was gigantic (almost 15m long and weighing over 30 tons). In fact, it was the largest and most powerful apex predator from the Mesozoic. Temnodontosaurus was a more derived ichthyosaur that independently became a raptorial predator so I’d go with something faster-paced for it to emphasize its speed.
@@bkjeong4302 I'd researched more about Himalayasaurus. I think you're totally right but Nigel wouldn't survive that thing it's an overkill. Now I'll add Himalayasaurus to the three icthyosaurian threats for my novel along with Temnodontosaurus eurycephalus and Shonisaurus sikianniensis

Whoever decided to make the Cymbosponsylus’ theme a guitar riff
deserves a raise.
Heck yeah they do! XD
I really hope Mr. Bartlett got a raise
Bruh, did you take this from Sam the Gigafan’s review
@@_boogatti_ No, but what a funny coincidence!
That is a fact.
Let's be honest, they made Cymbospondylus have the best track in the soundtrack because they knew that the Triassic was the superior time period
I personally prefer the Jurassic
I prefer the Cretaceous with the Mosasaurs.
But yeah the Triassic is awesome.
So is the Jurassic.
cambrian gang where you at
Devionian is best imo but Triassic is my favourite out of the Mesozoic
The Permian and the Triassic are my two favorite time periods.
Other Apex Predetor's Themes: Imposing orchestra
Cymbospondylus Theme: ELECTRIC GUITAR INTESIFIES
y Ë s
I’m all for it man
The Archelon Ride is the creepiest of the themes
No one:
Cymbospondylus's theme: *sounding like a boss battle*
Liopluredon: gets Eerie music
Tylosaurus: gets intensified theme song
Cymbosondylus: *E L E C T R I C G U I T A R I N T E N S I F I E S*
Whoever's idea it was for an electric guitar needs to earn a raise.
The guitar is the biggest banger of all time
Yes
You got that right! XD
definitely
Always thought this was intimidating as you get a sense of fear as well due to the predator circling you
Let's just say, this theme, the Liopleurodon feeding frenzy theme and the deadliest sea of all time theme are my favourites.
The Deadliest Sea of All Time is my favorite theme
The use of an electric guitar for this piece may have used to compliment Nigel’s use of the electric cattle prod. From memory it’s the only creature Bartlett used the electric guitar on.
That sound at 1:25
Gives me goosebumps every time
This song makes me wanna invent a time machine to go to the Triassic
Don't we all?
@@mynameisnotjonas3219 yes
I believe in Cymbospondylus supremacy
Even though Cymbospondylus is actually just a fish eater, it’s close relative Thalattoarchon was a apex predator that acted like this.
Same here
They didn’t have to go this hard, but I’m glad they did
That poor Tanystropheus!
Yeah, and in more ways than one (please refer to scholarly or otherwise reliable sources which discuss the general anatomy and biology of archosaurs for more information)
He’s gonna be fine
@@goldgamercommenting2990 It'll buff out
he’ll walk it off
😪😪
That guitar solo is euphoric.
Wish the new cymbospondylus had been discovered before this series was made - 18m!
Always looked forward to this! such a track. when I finally go free diving with sharks i'll play this with underwater headphones haha

What a spectacular reptile!
When you find out Shonisaurus was a macropredator from your worst nightmares:
i revisited this
i still fucking love it
honestly, my favirote part of the whole soundtrack is the beginning of this. it feels so alien
We getting out of the jurassic period with this one🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Not to be the guy but Cymbidpondylus is from the Triassic
@@battlechampion47 dam I knew it was one of the two
@@Hoodiegoose11 don't worry, the comment still gods hard asf 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
we are riding on tanystropheus`s tail with this one
Cymbospondylus is so underrated
My favorite one with the megalodon theme, thanks you it is great to hear it in high quality
What a spectacular reptile!
Now triassic sounds like metal
Mick Gordon been real quiet
1:49 "Two seas down, five to go".
Thanks for uploading the best track in the series :)

This theme is wonderful
The Ichthyosaurs
how threatening...

Wot

Why isn't this on Spotify?
Because the BBC didn't officially release the soundtrack
@@battlechampion47 Ah
Doomguy ichthyosaur
Text here
Rip and tear through the seas!
Instead of a cyber demon its a mosasaurus
Jim 2 theme song
Is this not on Spotify
Sadly no
👍👍👍👍😍😍
Should have used Himalayasaurus
Isn't Thalattoarchon a much better choice?
I also imagine this theme playing for Temnodontosaurus (Which i think actually fits this soundtrack more)
