I'm glad you're recovering from having your wisdom teeth taken out. Regarding "Prehistoric Planet," I was fine with the Q. duo defeating that T. rex. It's just a great way of showing how complex these animals' lifestyles could have been, especially when they each possess different abilities.
I'm fine with that depiction of them interacting, because too many people view prehistoric animals as either completely brainless killing machines that fight until they die, or creatures seemingly remote controlled by humans that then partake in Pokemon battles with human level observations and problem solving. A T. rex has higher "stats" and combat abilities all around than _any_ flying animal by a wide margin, but that doesn't mean smack when it knows that every fight it takes could be the difference between life or death. Even in modern day, you see animals as intelligent and powerful as wolves and bears flee from things like swans and eagles. Because why f around and find out, when you could just leave the scene and return later, six feet long eyetakers stabbing your body or no.
I did it in reference to how we abbreviate Genus names. For example: Q.Northropi. Or, the most famous example: T.rex. I wouldn’t have been consistent with it either way, you can even hear me call it Quetz a few times.
Hope we get to see Quetz show up in Jurassic World Chaos Theory eventually. I feel like that’s where it could really get to shine, like how Carnotaurus and Baryonyx got way more spotlight in Camp Cretaceous despite having limited appearences in the movies
heres some fact about dinosaur planet the Quetzalcoatlus lived in the Mastrichtian (70-66 million years), not in the Campanian (83-71 million years). it was was actually five to ten million years younger, so it wouldn't have come in contact with any of the dinosaurs shown in the episode (except Troodon who was also chronologically misplaced). A more accurate alternative would be Montanazhdarcho, which was already known by then (but probably not in full detail).
I want to see a horror film/game centered on a giant azhdarchid, imagine running into a giraffe-sized creature in the darkness of night and fleeing from it only to witness it flying after you
That would be awesome,maybe include a bunch of giant azhdarchids like Hatzegopterix,quetzalquatles and Cryodrakon,it will be so scary I will pee my pants as soon as I hear that distant honk,maybe implant hiding zones that you can’t hide in forever because a smaller pterosaur like tropeaognathus would break in and become hostile if you in for too long and they would be little huts and the setting is in the middle of a forest with a portal from the Mesozoic and you have to turn it off and kill them by finding weapons
Just imagine a quetz flying at you at night then you try to run away but the quetz lands and runs towards you later you think you you outran it but when you go lay on a tree but it feels fluffy you then look up and see another quetz and the second one grabs you and swallows you whole and you have your last breath as you scream but then the first quetz appears and grabs onto your body and your ripped apart bleeding you scream as loud as you can but it’s too late you get swallowed whole and in your mind you say goodbye world as your swallowed in the quetz’s mouth
An old nostalgic design for Quetzalcoatlus for me is from my favorite dinosaur hunting game, Primal Prey, by Sunstorm Interactive in 2001 I love the sound effects that they use for the animal, especially its call, which is basically the call of a common loon!
Here are a few interpretations (not in your video) of Quetzalcoatlus that I remember: -Dinotopia Franchise -The Christmas Dinosaur (2005) -Animal Armageddon (S1E3 & 4: Doomsday & Panic in the Sky) -Life on Our Planet (Chapter 6: Out of the Ashes)
I actually had an argument on a FRICKING ohms spino video that was spoofing the Quetza Vs Trex scene in Preh Planet, where some kid(though they were most likely trolling) kept copy and pasting that Trex had the best bite force and wouldn’t retreat from a quetza
Don't forget: When Dinosaurs roamed America came out several years after WWD. I think the better word for that one is “Outdated”. (that's my opinion) Edit: also the WWD movie Que has a too short of a beak. And it's in the wrong place.
Dino Dan actually has a third design for their Quetzalcoatlus exclusive to the Dino Dana movie, it’s very similar to the Dino Dana one but still noticeably different
3:50 I'll just put in my two cents over why there was such an issue in early documentaries involving Quetzalcoatlus depictions. Generally speaking, the Azhdarchid pterosaurs were a mysterious lineage back in the day with very few species having enough material to give people a general morphology. We understood the basics of the fact that they were advanced Pterodactyloids and big, but that was all. With Quetzalcoatlus, specifically Q. nothropi (the big species from Texas - first named, second found), Paleontologists were stumped over its ecology as this animal was found in what even back then would've been a badland. At first it was believed that this animal took the role of a scavenger like modern vultures, preying mainly on dead and dying animals. The squat posture was more of a bat feature as we were unsure how Pterosaurs in general properly moved. However, with more material and a focus on biomechanics (along with numerous Pterosaur trackeays being found), it was determined that many species were well suited for walking upright (with Azhdarchids and other groups having limb features similar to ungulates), but there was one trackway found in Canada that showed the possibility of brief stints in plantigrade bipedality (that's fancy pants talky way of saying these nightmare cranes walked like us). 4:24 Another issue with that depiction is how the thing is perched. Look how the upper arm is facing upward and then folded down with the fourth finger jutting out to the side. Like a freaky zig-zag of pain. In recentstudies, we now know how Pterosaurs would have folded their arms properly. Again, they stood with their arms directly beneath their bodies and closed the wings with the support finger pointed back. 6:18 Yeah, I'm gonna say it, that's just fucking disturbing. Like I mentioned earlier, there is a trackway that showed Azhdarchids around Quetzalcoatlus's size are able to stand up straight. However, acknowledging that doesn't make it any less creepy. It's one thing for a bear to stand on its back legs. That's just something we've socially accepted. A giant horror crane already as tall as a giraffe rearing up on relatively dainty legs staring you fown and being larger than normal? That's just wrong.😅 7:50 I agree that they gave the Quetzalcoatlus teeth when they shouldn't have, I remember seeing in the movie tie-in game that the Pterosaur used by the Possum Brothers and Buck was the Rhamphorhyncoid, Harpactognathus, which was the largest species in that order at the time and was found only a few years before Ice Age 3 released in theaters. Not as big as Quetzalcoatlus, of course.
2:56 The most recent studies They indicate that the pycnofibers are feathers, since pterosaurs have feathers from type 1 to type 3 or 4. In addition to having variations exclusive to some groups of pterosaurs. In other words, feathers evolved and at the beginning of the Triassic or even during part of the Permian.
If I were to guess which extinct animal was most likely to have made the knocking sound of a shoebill bird, it would be this one. Makes more sense than Tarbosaurus to me.
Quetzalcoatlus actually appeared in Land Before Time franchise in the 3rd movie I think? In the beginning there is a scene of a pterosaur mother flying away with her babies from a collapse or something like that. She is credited as "Quetzalcoatlus mother".
I've been thinking back and forth on the Rex vs Quetz scene. I think at this point like, yes Rex isn't invincible and mobbing behavior absolutely happens. But at the same time that was a MASSIVE carcass. The Quetzes couldn't just wait till the Rex left of its own accord instead of the huge risk of harassing it directly?
We do see that type of behavior with birds in real life. Pretty often, many species of birds will harass larger carnivores off of a meal. If the carnivore leaves, they get a free meal. If it stands its ground, they could (usually) fly away before the situation gets bad. Why do you think seagulls can just come up and bother even primates that weigh 30x+ more than them? I know Quetzalcoatlus isn't a bird, but very similar behavior can come about due to being able to fly. Flight is just a broken ability when it comes to scavenging meals.
If your just gonna call it Q, you should ad Q the winged serpent to the list :P It also made its first Jurassic appearance in the original Jurassic park series II toy line, I had one a a kit and it was awesome
Why did you leave out Dino Train in this video? 😅 Another good video! Did you ever see the original Jurassic world pitch video where a pair of quetzals hunt surfers 🏄 to eat
the Dominion Quetzalcoatlus is the only instance i can think of where i prefer a Jurassic World design to a Prehistoric Planet one. The colors are bright and appealing while still being plausible, and i weirdly like that little notch in the beak that makes it look even more like a giant spear
I know one book, and movie that you should talk about that does have Q in it. There is this movie being made called Primitive War, and it is based on three books, and the Quetzicoatlus has unique way of hunting its prey. As it has a long barbed tongue; like that of a tiger.
Fun fact: there is a japanese transformers show called "beast wars neo" where i the main antagonist is made up of a giganotasaurus, quetzalcoatlus and an elasmosaurus. He's called magmatron and recently got a new toy
I've seen one RUclips commenter who compared the fight between the tyrannosaurus and the 2 quetzalcoatluses in Prehistoric Planet to a lone male lion defending its food from 2 marabou storks.
What’s a paleo meme? That they had rounded wings? If so, then no it’s not. Pterosaurs did in fact have rounded wings. Prehistoric Planet inaccurately portrayed them with pointed wings.
@@DinoGuy8 Nope, they didn't. People just started doing round wings because some big paleoartist did it and then most people proceeded to do the same. Just look at all those pterosaur fossils with a preserved wing membrane, they don't look round to me.
Pointed wings cause aerodynamic issues for larger pterosaurs. Smaller ones like rhamphorhynchus (which is likely the fossil specimens you are referring to) could get away with having pointed wings due to their smaller size. The main takeaway is that most (not all) pterosaurs had curved wings, Quetzlecoatlus was certainly one of them. This is definitely not just a paleo meme, no idea where that came from. Here’s a bit more reading on the subject: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031018215004824?casa_token=wVzUR2XMX8EAAAAA:pQnHfMz6EskoI7l3_3YFK2itx0EY8apw9ESa5lnJmnUgnYafoB5qFOkLyb3JVaaKftadn7aOUQ
@@DinoGuy8 Pointy wings on large pterosaurs are still plausible. If you meant just a small round form like the Pteranodon you showed then that's plausible as well, but if you mean the way round wings were done in like 2016-2017 then those are just wrong. I would share here an article talking about it but I think the comment will be deleted if I share a link since it's the third time I wrote this comment and it disappeared.
I’m not necessarily speaking on massive circular wings. As far as I can tell, most Pterosaur phalanges don’t necessarily support something like that. Mainly the wingtip is more so curved to a lesser extent similar to the image I showed. What I can gather through research done on this video, and the very great debate that was this topic, most Pterosaurs likely had the more plausible rounded wingtip. Again, based on how pointed wingtips wouldn’t necessarily help with the aerodynamics of the animal (they could still fly with it, just not as effectively). And we know there are exceptions, like the aforementioned Ramphorynchids. To really wrap it up, something like this is likely split between the different Pterosaur lineages.
I'm now remembering the quetz in Jurassic world dominion and man it was so wasted We could have had such a cool horror sequence if instead of the theri, Claire had to evade the quetz just walking through the jungle clacking its beak and making all sorts of sounds while strutting about looking for her
I would have loved to have heard your opinion on the dinotopia quetzalcoatlus! And I wonder if the models used in the Eyewitness dinosaur books would ever be on the table for consideration, they're iconic! I think they belong to a specific museum and the bibliography in the books should say which one. I'm also pretty sure there's that famous barosaurus model and a giganatosaurus made after the eyewitness book but from the same museum
the pointed wingtips for pterosaurs are correct, Prehistoric Planet got that right, afaik the pterosaur researchers agree on that and the main like, WW2 plane still wingtip is a David Peters-ism
I’ve been playing ark for a very long time, and I came up with the ingenious, and as far as I am aware, completely original (probably not but OK) idea of putting a structure on my giant pterosaur that’s open on the top so I can put dinosaurs in it and then carry them back to my base once I’ve tamed them if that’s not a 100% IQ move I don’t know what is😂
I think the T rex getting its kill taken was grate I I’m pretty sure the Qs are taller so it would kinda be like going up against a 7ft tall ostrich or something like that with a spear as long as your arm
Hey there, I was just wondering, if given the chance, would you perhaps do at least the many interpretations of Mosasaurus? I've heard that Mosasaurus was getting a lot of attention lately in some dinosaur documentaries, movies and games like Walking with Dinosaurs, Monsters Resurrected, The Land Before Time franchise, Dinosaur Train, Speckles the Tarbosaurus, Jurassic World, Dinosaur Revolution, Sea Monsters: a Prehistoric Adventure, March of the Dinosaurs, Aquaman, Saurian, Beasts of Bermuda, Ark Survival: Evolved, Amazing DinoWorld, Prehistoric Planet and Path of Titans. This time, hopefully Mosasaurus might as well get some better attention once the next video is ready. Anyway, greetings from New Rochelle, New York state. 🏞🌊🦖🦕🦈🐲🦭🐋
0:58 Because it is a very outdated reconstruction of the Quetzalcoatlus set in 1999 that they have no idea what the animal actually look like until more remains are found so you could say the 2013 WWD the Movie has an improvement Quetzalcoatlus cause they found more remains of the animal.
Most likely! I will say though, some reconstructions that were made before WWD were a bit closer to our modern ideas, skeleton-wise. For example, the one set before it on this list ‘On the Wing’. Which released in 1986.
I got my wisdom teeth taken out earlier this year in February at the age of 25 so you’re not the only one getting them taken out late! Not because they were growing wrong but I had cavities on all 4 of the teeth and the dentist said it wasn’t worth filling them in for wisdom teeth, I might as well get them pulled so I did. What’s weird is when they checked on my other teeth I had 0 cavities outside my wisdom teeth… idk why they’re even called wisdom teeth, they should be called “troubled teeth” 😂
The Quetzalcoatlus in dinosaur train looks too small… Am I wrong? Edit: there’s also a little known animated movie called 2004 called “the Christmas dinosaur” and the titular dino/ptero character is a Quetzalcoatlus
@@DinoGuy8 By the way The Quetz frightning off the rex is very realistic Birds will aim with theyr beaks purposefully for your eyes I learned that with pelicans

1:57 As far as nicknames go, I just call this pterosaur “the Quetz”.
Yeah idk why he didnt just do that 😭
@@Orniisss Agreed
I did it in reference to how we abbreviate Genus names. For example: Q.Northropi. Or, the most famous example: T.rex.
I wouldn’t have been consistent with it either way, you can even hear me call it Quetz a few times.
i just call it quetza due to gamingwithbeaver
I just call it the bird
Bro tried to give Quetz a nickname and accidentaly made an All Tomorrows reference.
lol
Darren Naish of Prehistoric Planet fame argued for pointed wingtips, so that is a bit of a debate.
It certainly is. The main consensus I find is that pointed wings cause aerodynamic issues for larger Pterosaurs.
The other pterosaur was classified as Ornithocheirus at the time, but is now Tropeognathus.
That’s what I was thinking! Thanks for the clarification!
@@DinoGuy8 No problem. I’m liking your many interpretations of videos. I hope you do one on mammoths soon.

You should do a review of the BotM Tyrannosaurus! I would love to hear your thoughts on that giant figure!!
The quetz is by far my favorite pterosaur
Can't wait for you to get to acrocanthosaurus been my favorite dinosaur since I was a kid
There is also the Quetzalcoatlus from the novel Primitive War. Freaky & horrifyin', that one!

I think the T rex getting its kill taken was grate I I’m pretty sure the Qs are taller so it would kinda be like going up against a 7ft tall ostrich or something like that with a spear as long as your arm
Jp4 had a quetzal on a beach eating surfers
Quetzalcoatlus could also be nicknamed "Quetzy" and it can be matched with "Hatzey", Hatzegopteryx
Am I the only one who remembers nanosaur? I used to play a ton of nanosaur 2.
7:35 I call them always Cearadactylus
Quetzalcoatlus, The King of the Pterosaurs.
hold up, is saurian dead in the water now?
oh no, that's sad to hear
My favorite pterosaur
In the ark community we call Quetzalcoatlus the Quetz (pronounced kets)
Where is dinosaur train? These things are always missed 🤦♂️
Hey there, I was just wondering, if given the chance, would you perhaps do at least the many interpretations of Mosasaurus?
I've heard that Mosasaurus was getting a lot of attention lately in some dinosaur documentaries, movies and games like Walking with Dinosaurs, Monsters Resurrected, The Land Before Time franchise, Dinosaur Train, Speckles the Tarbosaurus, Jurassic World, Dinosaur Revolution, Sea Monsters: a Prehistoric Adventure, March of the Dinosaurs, Aquaman, Saurian, Beasts of Bermuda, Ark Survival: Evolved, Amazing DinoWorld, Prehistoric Planet and Path of Titans.
This time, hopefully Mosasaurus might as well get some better attention once the next video is ready.
Anyway, greetings from New Rochelle, New York state. 🏞🌊🦖🦕🦈🐲🦭🐋
Can you do interpretations of the woolly mammoth next
0:58 Because it is a very outdated reconstruction of the Quetzalcoatlus set in 1999 that they have no idea what the animal actually look like until more remains are found so you could say the 2013 WWD the Movie has an improvement Quetzalcoatlus cause they found more remains of the animal.
Most likely! I will say though, some reconstructions that were made before WWD were a bit closer to our modern ideas, skeleton-wise. For example, the one set before it on this list ‘On the Wing’. Which released in 1986.
@@DinoGuy8 Alright the New WWD Quetzalcoatlus has a better model but the Old WWD Quetzalcoatlus has more cooler coloration.
There's one actually appeared in Life on Our Planet, only small appearances.
I got my wisdom teeth taken out earlier this year in February at the age of 25 so you’re not the only one getting them taken out late! Not because they were growing wrong but I had cavities on all 4 of the teeth and the dentist said it wasn’t worth filling them in for wisdom teeth, I might as well get them pulled so I did.
What’s weird is when they checked on my other teeth I had 0 cavities outside my wisdom teeth… idk why they’re even called wisdom teeth, they should be called “troubled teeth” 😂
Next many interpretations of giganotosaurus
Can you review Dinotrux
Call it the Q-Bird
I like to see you tackle triceratops next. What do you think?
I’d call quezalcoatlus simply “Q”
What if you want to simplify the name Qianzhousaurus?
@ Qianz
he also forgot tyranomon was in digimon but i can forgive it
Hey dino guy will you do a 65 review
I plan on it!
Ok
I believe the one from Giants of Patagonia is Areotitan
that silhouette of a bloke with the stenton, is that Robert Bakker?
I believe so.
What is the difference between the Quetz and the Hatz. Didn't know hatz existed until POT.
Hatzegopteryx is far more heavily built. Especially in the skull. Its head is significantly thicker than the head of Quetzalcoatlus.
There is a dragon/eagle boss in final fantasy with that same name
I can see Quetzlecoatlus winning against a T-Rex, I have seen a honey badger winning against a lion.
No pycnofibers??!! 🤨🤨🤨🤨
The Quetzalcoatlus in dinosaur train looks too small…
Am I wrong?
Edit: there’s also a little known animated movie called 2004 called “the Christmas dinosaur” and the titular dino/ptero character is a Quetzalcoatlus
Time Bandits would like you to redo this video
To summ up this video: "I really like the color of it's crest"
Pretty much.
@@DinoGuy8 By the way
The Quetz frightning off the rex is very realistic
Birds will aim with theyr beaks purposefully for your eyes
I learned that with pelicans
Tropiagnathous now
Plz do doctor who dinosaurs in space
