Certainly an odd one. I'd be inclined to think it probably did not have twin claws for hunting with, dromeasaur claws could have been used for climbing, providing a dual purpose, and they are present in maniraptors where they would also be used for climbing. Also red legged seriamas, which have a dromeasaur like claw for hunting with only have one. This thing was in a deset and had straighter claws, so it likely wasn't climbing with them. Although I'd expect its toe to have a thicker foot pad. Certainly a weird one.
A quick thought. This animal would be chasing around small desert critters, but as you say wouldn't be very fast. Running around on a single toe could allow them to make sharper turns using an outer toe like stablising wheels on a kid's first bicycle. Speculation i know, but worth testing.
@@jonahedmiston5144 Speed on the turn is just as important as straight line speed when chasing smaller prey in an open environment. Just throwing that idea out. When it's biometrically tested there will be a better undnerstanding of it's nature and capabilities.
So.... this thing may have been more like the fast, killer roadrunner depiction of raptors than the theorized reality of (at least smaller) dromeosaurs being at least semi arboreal?
Yeah , dromeosaurus where essentially the closest thing to felines dinosaurs produced , And this guy seems to have the adaptations to be an extremely fast dinosaur with possibly predatory adaptations , i would exclude pack hunting since reptiles tend to not do that , but i wouldn't exclude him using his big claws to hurt small preys , I might not even exclude this guy ganging up in feeding frenzies on larger preys ( juvanile sauropods )
Happily given like, and humorous or insightful comment, for the Almighty Algorithm, here. 👋😊 Watching many of these in a row, and doing other things, so you get a copypasta. Carry on.
A dinosaur, with a middle toe so sturdy that it can run and hop around in deserts, is so on the nose about its abilities that it is constantly giving two middle fingers with its feet.
Maybe masiakosaurus odd teeth were used for hunting insects kinda like the bizarre teeth of most pterosaurs for vespersaurus running on one toe maybe it was to keep it clean from the sand for hunting or prevent it from overheating. Although I think it was most likely to be for speed.
@@chimerasuchus normal bird type metabolism i reckon. be lunch for something bigger otherwise. this is one reason i dont buy the 'some dinosaurs were sluggish' hypothosis based on not alot. the bipeds would need high metabolism to balance on two legs etc. and if you've got massive 'bird monsters' running about, sure as hell the herbivores were not going to be sluggish and slow either, or they would be sitting ducks, which just creates selection for bigger badder carnivores. when youve got some animals with warm blood, it becomes an arms race just to stay alive.
If you were so distracted and so annoyed with it, then find someone else to watch. I’ve just found this account and can already confirm that this is a great and under appreciated channel. Find somewhere else to go instead of spreading negativity.
@@cheyennepepper301 I just watched a baby cow rescue video on THE DODO, the woman kinda talking similar. Is it some kind of accent ? If it is, I am sorry, I am not from US so, you guys have different accents, it might be one of them. Let me know if it's actually an accent or not? I am gonna call it "THE LAZY ACCENT". don't mean to offend but these guys are lazy even when talking.

This channel deserves to grow.
It's great but this guy doesn't have the sexy voice.
I’m glad I’ve just found it then!
Agreed.
@@a54109 not everyone can have a second voice. At least there's 1 short form serious paleontology channel that doesn't have a douchebag for a host.
@@a54109 I kind of like the deadpan delivery.
Damn I love this channel
Fascinating, learned something new. Thank you
on the footprint casting you can see the etchings of the two outer claws how could anyone not notice that
What makes you think nobody noticed that?
A nice little treasure you had for me here
A great video on a fantastic dinosaur
Excellent and informative interesting video. Many thanks.
It also keeps it's feet cooler, less exposed skin!

I’m pretty sure he said the opposite. He said it probably evolved it’s monodactyl feet for speed.

Really enjoying this channel.
We need to get this channel up to 1 million subscribers!
equus; the mammal that runs on one toe.

É um dino bem legal e existiu no Brasil que legal
A really cool video about a dino i did not knew existed
Awesome video
Nice info man!
Vesperasuras: Running on one toe is considered an art form now, but I did it first.
Another death on two legs with another spectacular way to finish off prey......thank fuck we weren't around when they were!
Cute, he is from my country
He was there first😉
Interesting video

Please make a video about Mononykus
Austroraptor is a Dromeosauridae right?
So. It was on its way to being a horse?
The dinosaur is from my state, Paraná
We have finally found the origin of the footprint of the Id Monster from "Forbidden Planet"!
When we're gonna see Imaginesaurus?
🦖🖤🦖
Ostriches in the future
0:10 Quick correction, Vespersaurus was found in Southern Brazil, not Southeastern*
maybe it used its toes for self defense like a cassowary.
Whats next ? Chugusauria : the dino that ate with its nose
it was like it was trying to fly, just need to be a little more faster, a little more lighter
i did not need to know about the toe fetish dinosaur today
a toe adaption for high speed running [and bipedalism in general] AND low metabolism. i don't think so
Defiantly not too low.

@@andy-the-gardener yea, especially when the only evidence is growth rate. especially in a nutritionally poor desert environment
Vespersaurus is kinda hot
Just think what happens if he stumps his toe lol
F_
If you have an incomplete skeleton, why do all your drawings have feathers?
I am not sure what you are talking about. Some of the Vespersaurus reconstructions in the video don't have feathers.
That must have looked really gay.
I was so distracted by your whistling and lazy ending of each sentence, I couldn't pay attention so I had to watch it again in 0 volume.
