1:33 I really like this little moment. Herbivorous dinosaurs (and animals in general) are far too often depicted as cowardly walking buffets for predators. When in reality, even giant predators had to pay respect to their prey.
I could say that Nanuqsaurus is a counterpart of the Asian Qianzhousaurus because, like that tyrannosaur species in the episode "Forest" of Season 1, the Nanuqsaurus in "North America" also hunted smaller more bird-like prey. Only this is in a wide open tundra instead of a warmer closed forest.
I think I heard somewhere that a study sizing them up got released a bit further into production and it was too late to change? You’ll have to fact check me on that one though
They move too smoothly in my opinion, almost like mammal-like reptiles. There should be the same sudden, but precise movements that is seen in birds and modern crocodiles. The movements depicted here are more akin to mammals, which is not very accurate.
Due to the square cube law, the larger and more spherical an object is, the slower its heat will dissipate into the surrounding air. This is why arctic animals become so large and have so much blubber.
This is spectacular! The only thing that is questionable about this (8:08-8:12) is that Nanuqsaurus lived before T.rex and would have been extinct by the end of the Cretaceous (as far as we know). The Prince Creek Formation is dated from 70.6-69.1 million years ago. By the time T.rex Triceratops Dakotaraptor Ornithomimus Thescelosaurus Ankylosaurs and Edmontosaurus amongst other dinosaurs stomped around North America and Canada Nanuqsaurus would have been extinct for a couple hundred years. This is because Nanuqsaurus lived roughly from 70-68 million years ago. Interestingly T.rex existed from 68-66 million years ago. Pachyrhinosaurus died out around 68.5 million years ago. Their is a theory that Asian Tyrannosaurs came across to North America and eventually gave rise to T.rex. We do have documented Therizinosaur tracks from the Cantwell Formation alongside Hadrosaurs Ankylosaurs and Ceratopsians. If true then perhaps that lead to the extinction of Nanuqsaurus. If Nanuqsaurus did go extinct 68 million years ago then by the time the Asteroid struck Nanuqsaurus would have been extinct for 3.1 million years. And yes a similar pattern has been repeated with mammals humans were a part of that. Maybe Nanuqsaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus did manage to survive in more remote areas and then would have been wiped out during the K-pg extinction event. Regardless this is the best exposure Nanuqsaurus has gotten and I'm glad to see this dinosaur in action!
A bunch of the dinosaurs in PhP come from the Early-Middle Maastrichtian rather than the Late Maastrichtian when the show is set, so are anachronistic. Aside from the Prince Creek stuff, all the Nemegt stuff (the “Velociraptor”/indeterminate velociraptorine dromaeosaur, the unnamed Asian azhdarchid, Tarbosaurus, Nemegtosaurus, the Mongolian Titan, Tarchia, Deinocheirus, Barsboldia, Mononykus and Therizinosaurus) are also anachronistic in the same way, as is the Carnotaurus. The Hell Creek, Maeverano, Hateg Island, Antarctic, North African and most of the marine stuff are genuinely from the end of the Cretaceous.
Despite saying 66 million years ago many times. The series actually follows a timespan of 70-66 million years .Yes I know Attenborough said 66 million years ago again but all the places were dinosaurs lived didn't become fossil formations so maybe ,just maybe nanuqsaurus survived much longer than we think it did

The idea of a tyrannosaurus that keeps its feathers in adulthood to survive the cold is cool
Pun intended?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
Nanuqsaurus has more screen time than Giga in JWD😶
7:14 babies Nanuqsaurus
1:25 I'll always think of this scene as memorable. Not only because of the trailer, but also because the Pachyrhinosaurs are not trapped at a cliff.
This Nanuqsaurus Are Best Hunters To Kill The Pachyrhinosaurus 3:39 Just Like Their Closely Relative Tyrannosaurus Rex Does
This is a gorgeous tyrannosaurus 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖
Not Tyrannosaurus. Nanuqsaurus
Well its a part of theropod family and looks like a tyrannosaurus in the snow ik its a nanuqsaurus
Like wolves attacking musk-ox.
Named by Anthony Ricardo Fiorillo in 2014
It’s honestly a shame Nanuqsaurus is undersized in PhP, because otherwise it would be one hell of a depiction.
I like to pretend they are juvenile. and it still tracks with the mother Nanuq, because dinosaurs could breed before reaching their adult from.

Just because birds are dinosaurs doesn't mean all dinosaurs moved like birds.
How do they keep warm without feathers?
There's feathers all over their bodies
@Foxy-mw1bx no, I know. I mean, the prey animals. How do they keep warm?
@@nataliewestby7696 They're big.
It wasn’t this cold back then, it’s not accurate to what is known and found from the fossil record and the climate back then as well.
