I can buy a Tyrannosaurus fleeing from a pair of Quetzalcoatlus, Quetz is a Pterosaur the size of a Giraffe with a Spear for a head, I doubt any Tyrannosaurus wants to risk getting it’s eye gouged out.
I think clearly “season 2” was originally written to be a part of season 1 hence how similar both appear and feel. At some point probably due to cost cutting measures season 1 was cut in half, we got season 1, and since it was successful Apple let them finish it as season 2. Given the year turn around though they probably had little to zero time to implement any changes or improvements they just started running the effects, recorded the narration, and said go.

I wish they did a whole episode set on Madagascar, cause that segment was the best of this whole season with the Simosuchus, Majungasaurus, Adalatherium, Madtsoia, there’s so many weird things happening in Madagascar in the late Cretaceous.
The mixing of Nemegt basin formations isn't as bad nowadays. There's evidence of aeolian dunes in the Nemegt, and apparently some new papers have placed the Barun Goyot formation as around the same age as it. Maybe Djadochta is still off the menu if we're being conservative, but considering many of the similarities between the faunas in each formation, it's possible it's less about the wider timeframe and more about enviromental differences. After all, large tyrannosaur and sauropod fossils are indeed found in Djadochta, even if they're rare and most likely represent animals passing by rather than proper native species. Does that entirely mean mixing Djadochta, Barun Goyot and Nemegt fauna is 100% accurate and proven? Not quite. But it does mean that said mixing is potentially not as innaccurate as it may seem.
Yes I have to agree here also the time period between them is very minimal anyways, plus there's always a chance for preservation bias and we just haven't discovered a certain species from that region that could've lived there and survived for longer. I mean until more research has been done I think it's safe to say they almost nailed it with time and formations. (However I do think the inclusion of velociraptor was simply for the audience, since there are many other velociraptorines from the very end of the Cretaceous that could've been used)
@@drewluczynski9609 exactly, we only have a select couple specimens of each dinosaur, so their range is never completely known. The best we can do is infer the environment they lived in and the continent and then match them up a bit for a rough range
Hi Red Raptor Red! Thank you for exploring the 2nd series of Prehistoric Planet. I am ashamed that (apparently) the show's creators aren't planning a 3rd either. Awaiting the newcome of BBC series, I was wondering if You'd consider giving a glance to the Italian series "Dinosaurs' Planet" of 1993 (I don't know if there is a chance to adjust the audio with a translator, but the content is really remarkable for its days, and would be great to know your opinion on the "ideal grandfather" of the series Walking with Dinosaurs! ruclips.net/video/mfovsq-3l6I/видео.html My best regards to You!
I agree with the video except for one thing. There weren't that many mosasaur scenes in season 1 besides the coast episode. If anything season 2 had way more mosasaur scenes.
8:50 This sort of confuses me. There's literally only 3 mosasaur segments in season 1, and they're all in episode 1. I don't really see how that counts as a plethora of mosasaur stuff.
Finally, Another Accuracy Review and this time on Prehistoric Planet 2, really amazing and nice detail you put in the video, it sure means a lot and keep up the great work.
@@redraptorwrites6778, I sure do and hopefully you’ll do more when more of these dinosaur nature documentaries come out and I definitely enjoy them more than the Jurassic World Videos.
Nice to see you review the second season of Prehistoric Planet today. I think you’ve highlighted the positives and negatives of this documentary perfectly. I do agree with some of the issues with naming certain animals only as a “something saur” since they’re not very specific and can have several meanings. It would’ve been nice to refer some of the creatures shown as their actual genus and species names like Nanuqsaurus and sometimes Tyrannosaurus rex. Looking at Nanuqsaurus, I think they addressed the adult size problem for the animal in season two, but it appears to be based on the middle estimate of 8 meters or 26 feet compared to the Ornithomimus edmontonicus it’s chasing (Assuming that Ornithomimus species is 4 meters in length compared to the smaller type species O. velox from Hell Creek). I do it find it unfortunate that we don’t have enough good Nanuqsaurus portrayals in today’s paleo media. This is the only documentary to portray Nanuqsaurus well, even if the first season incorrectly portrayed it as a dwarf tyrannosaurid since we now know it was larger than previously thought because its overall design looks wonderful. I would love to see Nanuqsaurus in the Walking With Dinosaurs reboot since I’d like to see an episode from that documentary focus exclusively on the Prince Creek formation where it and Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum and the Alaskan Edmontosaurus species are found.
1:25 - 1:37 That's because the part of the mesozoic known as the Maastrichtian stage is considered the most modern of all stages just before the mass extinction and no wonder that the developers choose this time period. A modern time period means modern ecosystems quite like our own (tyrannosaurus included) and even though they could do other time periods like the Jurassic, the Triassic and even the early and middle Cretaceous, they were not "AS" modern as the Maastrichtian.
This site that Internet Archive is really a GREAT one for tons of productions and medias of all genres which are old and not easy to find or watch online. And with the said medias available for complete free with a decent quality. I myself rewatch the 2 parts "Mammals vs Dinosaurs" doc on it. Really useful (and a dino-doc which deserved a review one day to be fair).
The question is, do I use the "omg it's happening" meme from the office or the "but a welcomed one" from palpatine? On a more serious note, I'd say the thing Prehistoric Planet does the best is the atmosphere it presents. There's a such sense of wonder and optimism that it seems like things can only get better, which is rather ironic considering what happens at the end of 66 mya, but the prehistoric animals were thriving when it happened. It may not be the most informative, or accurate dino doc out there, but it's still what I consider my favorite dino doc to date.
Man, has it really been that long since season 2 released already? Anywho, I do have a question with something you mentioned with the Triceratops epioccipitals, and the Pachycephalosaurus spikes for that matter; even if the bony cores were reabsorbed, isn’t it possible that the keratin that grew over them earlier in life would still be in place?
Need to add that between the production of the first and second season, Tethyshadros aged about 20 million years, because in newer re-examinations it was finally possible to clarify that it was found in a deposit that is about 80 million years old while previously it was dated to the time range 66-80 million years ago. This has also been pointed out by many other Paleo RUclipsrs, such as GeoDuck, who have reviewed the accuracy of Prehistoric Planet.
Red Raptor, just that you know it, if Prehistoric Planet 2 is still set in the same period and have kept all the problems and flaws of Season 1, like if the producers behind doesn't cared, it is just simply because Season 2 wasn't actually mean to be an apart season from the first one to start with. Actually, initially, everything with Season 2 was mean to be released at the same time than Season 1, but because they have been probably some kind of behind the scenes issues many stuff, scenes and episodes weren't finished by the time of the first release. So, they decide just to split up the series in 2, with the already finished episodes been released, while the remaining unfinished stuff was completed for a second released and as a part 2 (so not really an apart season or true season 2 in definitive). Which is very clear and obvious since part 2 came only around less than 1 year after part 1, and that it already take more than this period to produce the series as a whole, even if just part 1. As such show at this high quality level took ar least some years to produce, not some months. There even a work in progress clip of the Rajasaurus hunting Isisaurus that have been leaked online only few times after part 1 release, which show that part 2 was in production even when part 1 was airing. If it was a typical sequel season, it wouldn't have been decide and announced in such short time. If the flaws or problems you point out in "Season 1" still are present in "Season 2", with no edits, change or update, it just simply because they were already made back when the part 1 of the series was released. There have been 1-2 stuff like the random placement of abelisaurids' osteoderms which was discovered after part 1 we can see in Majungasaurus and avoid the latter to end like Carnotaurus. But aside, they mostly left things already done unchanged.
In my opinion, season two was better than the first one. It had really good action and story like I love the pachycephalosaurus fight scene. It was pretty good. They were neck wrestling headbutting, falling all over the place. It was pretty good. I do like how with a Theropods I like when they open their mouth and you can still see their teeth because most depictions of Therapods nowadays, it’s like you can barely see their teeth so if they had lips even though that I am done with the topic their teeth, but still stick out when they open them. And I also did like triceratops and pachycephalosaurus used their headgear as a defense mechanism and for display the only problem is I have is that they use the Jurassic Park T. Rex sound when the t. Rex was roar at the Quetzalcoatlus, the last episodes were a bit fast pacing, and the velociraptor hunting the Prenocephale I wish that in that unseen, I would’ve loved to see both the dromeosaur and the pachycephalosaur falling off a cliff together, and it would be based a National Geographic documentary series, hostile planet when I Snow Leopard attacks this IBX they both fell off a cliff and the snow leopard survive the fall. I would love to see that, instead of pushing the Prenocephale off a cliff.
Those aren’t epoccipitals on adult Triceratops. There aren’t nearly enough to correlate to the unabsorbed epoccipitals of juvenile Triceratops. You’ll notice that they’re just keratin projections that gather in large lumps, correlating to two or three underlying epoccipitals. The evidence for the Stygimorph hypotheses is tentative at best and many reject it entirely. Both Stygimoloch and Dracorex are found in younger rocks than Pachycephalosaurus, so confidently stating that the horns of P. wyomingensis shrank with age is inaccurate. With this in mind, many consider Dracorex to be a juvenile/female of Stygimoloch, and Stygimoloch as a long-horned species of Pachycephalosaurus, P. spinifer. If you state that you’re not omniscient, then neither are the filmmakers. Inaccurate elements in S2 are not representative of the filmmakers doubling down on their mistakes in S1. Both were developed at the same time and working with the same material. One year is nowhere near enough time to film on location, create new models, animate them, record narration, and produce new music. So inaccuracies are going to carry over. Despite stating that you’re not an “um ackchyually”, you’re doing exactly that. What you failed to mention is how shockingly inaccurate Shamosuchus is represented here. This was an actual oversight by the scientific advisors and filmmakers, and is worthy of criticism. Shamosuchus wasn’t Nile crocodile under a different name. Its suggested ecology is that of a shell-crusher, not an azhdarchid baby-eater, so therefore its skull morphology would have been vastly different than presented here. If they wanted a more conventional crocodilian, then Paralligator should have been used instead
T. Rex truly was an awesome predator, but this documentary has shown how even the Tyrant Lizard King knows when to back down to the king of the Cretaceous skies. Especially if there’s two of them.
One thing I have to say. Mosasaurs are not monitor lizards, not even closely related. The latest phylogenies place them next to snakes, which is quite far from monitors.
My personal favorite creature for season II and the overall series is Austroraptor !!! They are my favorite Dromeosaurids and I really hope to see them in Jurassic World: Reborn or Jurassic World Evolution III. They look mesmerizinglly wonderfull in the Swamps episode.
Speaking of a new time period, it would be cool to see prehistoric planet's take on the Permian but idk if that's within the scope the writers have in mind.
If they make Prehistoric Planet 3, they need to shift focus to the Jurassic. I wanna see the most modern, paleo-accurate depictions of Stegosaurus and Allosaurus on-screen already!
In season 2’s defense, a lot of the clips were parts that were meant to be part of season 1 but needed to be cut. Plus it would have been awkward to, say, have shown the smaller, outdated Nanuqsaurus in season 1 be replaced by the newer, larger estimated size in season 2.
I mentioned this before, but in Badlands there’s only two raptors working together. And with the difference in colors, I think that’s a mated pair. I feel there’s a difference there and pack behavior
Fun video. Just at your season one review tho I still can’t wrap my head around you having a problem with both the vague names and the dating of the show. I think if you have a problem with that that is either the same problem or one should negate the other. I actually just did some research (not the papers but a fun wiki referencing papers so take it with a grain of salt) but with bayan mandahu and djadochta formations too there are bone fragments that are recognized as a tarbosaur, hadrosaur and some of the “mixed formation” dinos. I might be wrong here but the migrating dinos through these areas do not seem as much of a strech to me as you state in the video. I did not even think about the neck being too thicc on the little guy, that actually makes so much sense! 😮
@@tyrannotherium7873 Not that I'd doubt that Triceratops would live in slightly larger groups, but probably no more than 10 in a herd. I mean White Rhinos do live more social lives than other Rhino species and perhaps that's another reason why Triceratops "should" live in herds, but because they're amongst the largest Ceratopsids they don't need to live in herds hundreds to thousands strong like their Centrosaurine relatives.
its kinda criminal not talking about that geogeous Tyrannosaurus hunting scene in ep.3, i mean sure its more of the same old hunting scene that has been shown in countless paleomedia, but its the first time a T-Rex hunt looked this good, no more of that long winded chases with loud roars and epic fights, instead its more quiet, more surprise, and ambush tactics similar to how modern big cats hunts their prey, but this time instead of a 200 pound cat, its a 10 ton bone crushing theropod hunting a similarly sized duck tanks, i also love how the T-Rex needed to wrestle the animal down and pin it to the ground with the help of his brother/mate before killing the hadrosaur, instead of just biting and crushing the neck in a single bite like most other depiction do, it really shows that every hunt is a risky business even for the largest predators
You also might want to refrain from inserting your personal opinions about the aesthetics of the animals in future "accuracy reviews". It's hardly got anything to do with accuracy, seeing how nature couldn't care less if something looks good to us humans or not.
it'd not surprise me if some stuff is already dated, also if birds today can be together, I don't see why prehistoric planet can't do the same for velociraptor.
Honestly? I say we take it back to the 110 Million Year Section or the 90 Million? show more Cretacious Era Dinosaurs, Like Mapusaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Altirhinus, Suchomimus, Nodosaurus, Sauropelta, Argentinasaurus. Would love to see stuff on the Suchomimus especially, bairly gets any kind of time in documentries from what I have seen.
@@theangryholmesian4556 He does, indeed, have Marx horribly wrong. Marxism does not mean piracy. The "means of production" refer to four things: Land, labor, capital goods, or products that are used to produce more products, and infrastructure. Ownership of these would mean these would be controlled by the state; officially, it'd be by the workers, but the workers would also comprise the state (nominally, things usually didn't shake out like that,) so the workers controlled them by proxy.

season 2 left me with one huge mind blow, and i am just wondering if it was actualy possible. ''Quatzalcoatlus able to fend a adullt tyrannosaurus?'' plz tell me if this could be possible. i find it a bit to far
They were the size of giraffes and had beaks that could severely damage T-Rex’s ability to hunt by taking out its eyes. Unless it was starving it makes sense a T-Rex wouldn’t challenge two at once.
@@joshuacollins9316 yea but trex just has to close his mouth on one of then and they would be split i half with out any force, to me it feel like 2 swans vs a tiger or something
@@sp0oky195 not exactly the same at all. Swans are not comparable in height to a tiger, and also don’t have beaks that can poke out the tigers eyes easily from a distance. yes they both have “one shots” essentially that could greatly damage each other. The Quetzs can fly and are more agile than trex tho. Which would allow them to attack Trex from angles that it couldn’t as easily defend from. And yes all TRex had to do is bite them, but in order to do that it would have to put its eyes in danger and wide open to being stabbed by the Quetzs beaks. And having two attacking it once, would be more than enough risk for a T-Rex to second guess challenging them.
TBH a hot take I have about this season is the lack of pterosaur diversity we only see azdharchids plus alcione in the first segment of the series. I feel like oceans was the perfect moment to include a non azdharchid pterosaur like dawndraco, Pteranodon maysei, Tethydraco, simurghia or epapatelo.
Sorry, but it feels a bit ironic that you keep mispronouncing David Attenborough's name in an accuracy review series. His name is Atten-bruh, not Atten-burrow.
How many times are we gonna whine about the whole raptor pack hunting thing. To put this plainly theres is no evidence for OR against this. Aka unknown so it doesn't count as inaccurate as its a unkown atm. Is this overused absolutely is it wrong no because again no evidence for or against
All mosasaurs were cool to me until I found a near perfect Globidens alabamaensis tooth in Mississippi. Toooootally, definitely not biased towards Globidens ever since
11:28 Phalaropes: 😢 For context, phalaropes are birds whose females are colorful, mate multiple times during breeding season and don't play a role in parental care. It is instead the drab males who judge the females' displays, build a nest and do the child rearing.
I don’t agree with the Pachy growth stage thing, since if you really think about it, Dracorex would’ve started with spikes, grow them alongside a dome, and than shrunk the spikes, which doesn’t make sense since if you look at Triceratops, their horns grow in age as they reach maturity
You know not every animal grows the exact same way right? We have to use the fossil evidence we have, not argue about what "makes sense". The evidence appears to point to the spikes receding, so that is the conclusion we have to draw until more research is done or more fossils are found that disprove it.
@@russman3787 For the most part, but I’d rather not get into a debate in a comments section, since paleontologists themselves do have opinions, but let’s not continue this argument
@LordBumblebee1238 From what I understand on the Triceratops growth, Adults lose the spikes on their frill that they had as juveniles when they get older.
I have to agree with your pachycephalosaurus analysis, the old male should look like an older mature specimen, but i also have an idea of my own which i think is a problem i have with php in general, there is almost no weight to the animals, i mean pachycephalosaurus is a 900lbs~ animal it should feel that way, and some things like the bigger theropods also feel like they have no weight. This is furthered when you have good scenes like the one where the rex pushes the archelon body which does truly show the force behind it, but then something like the rex fighting the quetz where is just kind of throws its body around and feels like it cant hold itself up
@@ExtremeMadnessX no, it wasn't about speed, these are gracile animals. I'm talking about there being no weight when they move or hit each other, we should feel their muscles skins and bones move around when they move. Their speed was fine for every dino, just no weight for some scenes
@@ExtremeMadnessX dude it's not hard to read what I said, I said the speed is fine but the weight the movement of their bodies (not just running) does not feel heavy.
The actions they do do not feel like their is weight behind them, despite most creatures here weighing well over our modern animals standards. Pachycephalosaurus was definitely fast but the weight behind it's running and movement should've been emphasized better
Honestly I'm still a defender of the Velociraptor's portrayal in S1. In Deserts I think, Attenborough stated that "they often hunt together", not that they live together (I'm looking at you, Life on Our Planet), and in my opinion that is implying that the only time they spend together is when they're on the hunt. Freshwater too showed the female running away with her catch and leaving the males behind. But in Badlands they made it dirty. I don't know why they did it if not for spectacularization sake, after ALL the maniraptorans that are shown hunting/living alone (Atrociraptor, Kuru, Pectinodon, the troodontid) or coming together just for preying upon other animals (Dromaeosaurus, Austroraptor and the velociraptors from S1). I LOVE Prehistoric Planet, but had been the velociraptors family shown in any other documentary, I would have criticized it, so for as cool as the sequence was, I have to be objective and blame it here too.
@@explodingdynamite7319 for the time being, there's no strong evidence suggesting that they lived together in packs like many predatory mammals of today use to. It's more likely that younger individuals occupied a different ecological niche from the adults (the same seems to be true for many other clades of theropods): findings such as the three Deinonychus fossils gathered around a Tenontosaurus carcass suggest that interactions between youngs and adults could be REALLY violent, which is something extremely unlikely to happen in stably gregarious animals. It's still in the realms of possibilities that dromaeosaurids (as well as other theropods) could occasionally form associations to hunt down preys or feast on large carcasses (in nature, that's called "mobbing"), but for now, the idea of a Velociraptor pack is kinda unlikely.
@@explodingdynamite7319it is still in the realms of possibilities that dromaeosaurids, as well as other theropods, could occasionally form associations to hunt down preys or feast on carcasses (in nature that's called "mobbing"), but I wouldn't go as far as that. There's no strong evidence suggesting that dromaeosaurids lived together in durable packs like many predatory mammals of today use to; it's likely that younger individuals occupied a different ecological niche from the adults (again, that's the case for several other theropods like the tyrannosaurids), and the Internations between them could have been really violent. That's suggested for instance from the fossils of these Deinonychus close to a Tenontosaurus carcass suggesting that they had been killed (and possibly eaten) by the adults, and such a violent behavior is really unlikely for stably social animals
@@explodingdynamite7319 Hey bud, Im the other user's brother. If you find two wall of texts as an answer, that's because he couldn't see the first answer and thought YT didn't publish it for some reason, so he wrote the second one and atm YT isn't allowing him to delete any, sorry for the nuisance😅
S1 had scenes which was almost just the dinosaur walking around and shaking their head staring at the camera. S2 had the creatures being far more dynamic and interacting with other creatures more, like the interaction between tarchia and prenocephale. Part of the reason s2 is shorter is because it has less shots of empty spaces taking up runtime. S1 had a lot of shots of scenery without any creatures. I usually skip over the rex river scene and antarctopelta scene in s1 because its really just a single species of dinosaur lounging around or walking not doing anything spectacular. Deinocheirus is saved by its novelty factor and behavior. The s1 quetz nesting scene is also fairly boring. I mean out of all the azdarchid behaviors they pick the most generic and they could literally swap quetz out with any dinosaur or oviparous creature in that scene. Seeing azdarchids stalk prey, displaying to eachother, and intimidating hunter’s off their kills is much more align with their anatomy. Imagine a documentary about ponds and the dragonfly nymph are only on screen for 3 minutes depicted hatching from their eggs. That is a waste of that organism. The most interesting thing about dragonfly nymph are their swimming ability, extendable labium, and their role as a micro apex predator. If you are just going to show things hatching from eggs you can literally pick any oviparous animal. The platypus would be a great choice since it shows mammals can be oviparous too. The second season doesnt have these issues at all. Every scene is consistently engrossing across the board. If you are only going to show creatures lounging around or walking make sure there are many species in that scene or make the environment look awe-inspiring. The ammonite scene in s2 pulls this off very well imo.
I admit that I got a kick out of the scriptwriting decision that showed the cold-climate dinosaurs were allegedly warm blooded by using "heat-sensitive cameras." They really do look exactly like creatures do when modern wildlife videos use heat sensitive cameras, and if I let myself zone out just a little bit while I'm watching it, I can forget it's CGI designed instead of filmed like any other nature documentary.
What do you mean allegedly warm-blooded? How could be active during the winter otherwise? Cold blooded animals also don't have fur or feathers because they need outside source of warm.
@@ExtremeMadnessX I'm just saying that because there's a lot of room in between pure endothermic and pure exothermic, and different dinosaurs appear to have been at different points along the way. Clearly, cold-climate dinos would need to be somewhere toward the endothermic side of the spectrum, but there could be some sort of range.
@@norarivkis2513 Everything about dinosaurs saying that they were warm-blooded. From feathers in many small species to the way of insane fast growing in sauropods. As well as having a respiratory system more efficient than in mammals.
@@ExtremeMadnessX That's not what I've seen, from a lot of study. Many dinosaurs were certainly warm-blooded, but it wasn't as simple as that. Some of them -- especially in the Triassic -- were cold-blooded outright; and many of them, especially the largest of them, were in between, with their size helping them retain heat so well that they kept a fairly consistent temperature even through the nights. While I agree that the polar dinos were almost certainly among the warm-blooded types, I don't think you can make a blanket statement like "dinosaurs were all warm-blooded" about such a huge range of animals over such a long stretch of time. Some of them were very reptilian, including being ectomorphic. Others were, and are, quite literally birds in every modern sense of the word including their thermal regulation. It's not a single category with a single answer.
We can't get past the Tyrannosaurus' scales thing can we? In order to deduce it had feathers or not, evidence of scales and the climate are not really an argument against them. Feathers serve ALSO as sun screen and they're not denied by the presence of scales, like our friend Kulindadromeus would suggest. You should ask instead "are the conditions for feathers to preserve met?" Taphonomy. Also, Tyrannosauridea have feathers, the sooner you get it the better the accuracy. Now, with that being said, T-rex being that big ass anomaly it's likely to have had a "tad" less than its cousins and ancestors. But still...
I can buy a Tyrannosaurus fleeing from a pair of Quetzalcoatlus, Quetz is a Pterosaur the size of a Giraffe with a Spear for a head, I doubt any Tyrannosaurus wants to risk getting it’s eye gouged out.
Considering Tyrannosaurus’s have some of the best vision than any other animal I bet they would not want to risk one of their best hunting weapons
Considering the T Rex is agile and can evade, a brave rex or a foolish one might just risk it and kill both
All ammonites gangsta till the Globidens orders some calamari
I think clearly “season 2” was originally written to be a part of season 1 hence how similar both appear and feel. At some point probably due to cost cutting measures season 1 was cut in half, we got season 1, and since it was successful Apple let them finish it as season 2. Given the year turn around though they probably had little to zero time to implement any changes or improvements they just started running the effects, recorded the narration, and said go.
I think that's all but confirmed, there was an Isisaurus and Rajasaurus leak before S1, but that material was used in S2
I can't fault the accuracy, but I do wish it focused on each animal a bit longer instead of jumping to a new scene every 3 minutes.
Same here, but at least we’re getting wwd 2 which won’t jump all the time
Agreed. I like the WWD style better where we spend more time with each animal.

After all, large tyrannosaur and sauropod fossils are indeed found in Djadochta, even if they're rare and most likely represent animals passing by rather than proper native species.
Does that entirely mean mixing Djadochta, Barun Goyot and Nemegt fauna is 100% accurate and proven? Not quite. But it does mean that said mixing is potentially not as innaccurate as it may seem.
Yes I have to agree here also the time period between them is very minimal anyways, plus there's always a chance for preservation bias and we just haven't discovered a certain species from that region that could've lived there and survived for longer. I mean until more research has been done I think it's safe to say they almost nailed it with time and formations. (However I do think the inclusion of velociraptor was simply for the audience, since there are many other velociraptorines from the very end of the Cretaceous that could've been used)
Also, dinosaurs didn’t have borders, so who’s to say they didn’t spread out more.
That’s actually the excuse for the Corythoraptors appearing
@@drewluczynski9609 exactly, we only have a select couple specimens of each dinosaur, so their range is never completely known. The best we can do is infer the environment they lived in and the continent and then match them up a bit for a rough range
Hi Red Raptor Red!
Thank you for exploring the 2nd series of Prehistoric Planet. I am ashamed that (apparently) the show's creators aren't planning a 3rd either.
Awaiting the newcome of BBC series, I was wondering if You'd consider giving a glance to the Italian series "Dinosaurs' Planet" of 1993 (I don't know if there is a chance to adjust the audio with a translator, but the content is really remarkable for its days, and would be great to know your opinion on the "ideal grandfather" of the series Walking with Dinosaurs!
ruclips.net/video/mfovsq-3l6I/видео.html
My best regards to You!
I agree with the video except for one thing. There weren't that many mosasaur scenes in season 1 besides the coast episode. If anything season 2 had way more mosasaur scenes.
I’m still hoping you’ll do a review on Animal Armageddon. If I had to guess it would get a D or F.
It’s going be a F 😂😂 I rewatched and I know it’s very interesting and entertaining but accuracy wise not so much
What’s everyone’s thoughts on that one?
8:50
This sort of confuses me. There's literally only 3 mosasaur segments in season 1, and they're all in episode 1. I don't really see how that counts as a plethora of mosasaur stuff.
Finally, Another Accuracy Review and this time on Prehistoric Planet 2, really amazing and nice detail you put in the video, it sure means a lot and keep up the great work.
Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
@@redraptorwrites6778, I sure do and hopefully you’ll do more when more of these dinosaur nature documentaries come out and I definitely enjoy them more than the Jurassic World Videos.
13:40 That was swamp. It just happened during dry season.
They actually explain that in the episode.
Nice to see you review the second season of Prehistoric Planet today. I think you’ve highlighted the positives and negatives of this documentary perfectly.
I do agree with some of the issues with naming certain animals only as a “something saur” since they’re not very specific and can have several meanings. It would’ve been nice to refer some of the creatures shown as their actual genus and species names like Nanuqsaurus and sometimes Tyrannosaurus rex.
Looking at Nanuqsaurus, I think they addressed the adult size problem for the animal in season two, but it appears to be based on the middle estimate of 8 meters or 26 feet compared to the Ornithomimus edmontonicus it’s chasing (Assuming that Ornithomimus species is 4 meters in length compared to the smaller type species O. velox from Hell Creek).
I do it find it unfortunate that we don’t have enough good Nanuqsaurus portrayals in today’s paleo media. This is the only documentary to portray Nanuqsaurus well, even if the first season incorrectly portrayed it as a dwarf tyrannosaurid since we now know it was larger than previously thought because its overall design looks wonderful. I would love to see Nanuqsaurus in the Walking With Dinosaurs reboot since I’d like to see an episode from that documentary focus exclusively on the Prince Creek formation where it and Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum and the Alaskan Edmontosaurus species are found.
1:25 - 1:37 That's because the part of the mesozoic known as the Maastrichtian stage is considered the most modern of all stages just before the mass extinction and no wonder that the developers choose this time period.
A modern time period means modern ecosystems quite like our own (tyrannosaurus included) and even though they could do other time periods like the Jurassic, the Triassic and even the early and middle Cretaceous, they were not "AS" modern as the Maastrichtian.
Currently waiting for When Crocs Ate Dinosaurs
As well as the Gary Owens Dinosaur specials. They're on Internet Archive.
This site that Internet Archive is really a GREAT one for tons of productions and medias of all genres which are old and not easy to find or watch online. And with the said medias available for complete free with a decent quality.
I myself rewatch the 2 parts "Mammals vs Dinosaurs" doc on it.
Really useful (and a dino-doc which deserved a review one day to be fair).
The question is, do I use the "omg it's happening" meme from the office or the "but a welcomed one" from palpatine?
On a more serious note, I'd say the thing Prehistoric Planet does the best is the atmosphere it presents. There's a such sense of wonder and optimism that it seems like things can only get better, which is rather ironic considering what happens at the end of 66 mya, but the prehistoric animals were thriving when it happened. It may not be the most informative, or accurate dino doc out there, but it's still what I consider my favorite dino doc to date.
I would love to get a DVD of this series
Last time I was this early these guys were still alive
Man, has it really been that long since season 2 released already?
Anywho, I do have a question with something you mentioned with the Triceratops epioccipitals, and the Pachycephalosaurus spikes for that matter; even if the bony cores were reabsorbed, isn’t it possible that the keratin that grew over them earlier in life would still be in place?
Need to add that between the production of the first and second season, Tethyshadros aged about 20 million years, because in newer re-examinations it was finally possible to clarify that it was found in a deposit that is about 80 million years old while previously it was dated to the time range 66-80 million years ago. This has also been pointed out by many other Paleo RUclipsrs, such as GeoDuck, who have reviewed the accuracy of Prehistoric Planet.
I wish the Paleozoic could get a series like this
also maybe it's just me but I think Sauropods would lay their eggs nearer greenery
Red Raptor, just that you know it, if Prehistoric Planet 2 is still set in the same period and have kept all the problems and flaws of Season 1, like if the producers behind doesn't cared, it is just simply because Season 2 wasn't actually mean to be an apart season from the first one to start with.
Actually, initially, everything with Season 2 was mean to be released at the same time than Season 1, but because they have been probably some kind of behind the scenes issues many stuff, scenes and episodes weren't finished by the time of the first release.
So, they decide just to split up the series in 2, with the already finished episodes been released, while the remaining unfinished stuff was completed for a second released and as a part 2 (so not really an apart season or true season 2 in definitive).
Which is very clear and obvious since part 2 came only around less than 1 year after part 1, and that it already take more than this period to produce the series as a whole, even if just part 1. As such show at this high quality level took ar least some years to produce, not some months.
There even a work in progress clip of the Rajasaurus hunting Isisaurus that have been leaked online only few times after part 1 release, which show that part 2 was in production even when part 1 was airing.
If it was a typical sequel season, it wouldn't have been decide and announced in such short time.
If the flaws or problems you point out in "Season 1" still are present in "Season 2", with no edits, change or update, it just simply because they were already made back when the part 1 of the series was released.
There have been 1-2 stuff like the random placement of abelisaurids' osteoderms which was discovered after part 1 we can see in Majungasaurus and avoid the latter to end like Carnotaurus.
But aside, they mostly left things already done unchanged.
To be fair, much of the segments are ones that were planned to appear in Season 1 but didn't.
In my opinion, season two was better than the first one. It had really good action and story like I love the pachycephalosaurus fight scene. It was pretty good. They were neck wrestling headbutting, falling all over the place. It was pretty good. I do like how with a Theropods I like when they open their mouth and you can still see their teeth because most depictions of Therapods nowadays, it’s like you can barely see their teeth so if they had lips even though that I am done with the topic their teeth, but still stick out when they open them. And I also did like triceratops and pachycephalosaurus used their headgear as a defense mechanism and for display the only problem is I have is that they use the Jurassic Park T. Rex sound when the t. Rex was roar at the Quetzalcoatlus, the last episodes were a bit fast pacing, and the velociraptor hunting the Prenocephale I wish that in that unseen, I would’ve loved to see both the dromeosaur and the pachycephalosaur falling off a cliff together, and it would be based a National Geographic documentary series, hostile planet when I Snow Leopard attacks this IBX they both fell off a cliff and the snow leopard survive the fall. I would love to see that, instead of pushing the Prenocephale off a cliff.
If you want to see an old dino doc I would recommend Dinosaur! Narrated by Christopher Reeve, or PBS The Dinosaurs!
Best Rex hunting scene ever depicted
Those aren’t epoccipitals on adult Triceratops. There aren’t nearly enough to correlate to the unabsorbed epoccipitals of juvenile Triceratops. You’ll notice that they’re just keratin projections that gather in large lumps, correlating to two or three underlying epoccipitals. The evidence for the Stygimorph hypotheses is tentative at best and many reject it entirely. Both Stygimoloch and Dracorex are found in younger rocks than Pachycephalosaurus, so confidently stating that the horns of P. wyomingensis shrank with age is inaccurate. With this in mind, many consider Dracorex to be a juvenile/female of Stygimoloch, and Stygimoloch as a long-horned species of Pachycephalosaurus, P. spinifer.
If you state that you’re not omniscient, then neither are the filmmakers. Inaccurate elements in S2 are not representative of the filmmakers doubling down on their mistakes in S1. Both were developed at the same time and working with the same material. One year is nowhere near enough time to film on location, create new models, animate them, record narration, and produce new music. So inaccuracies are going to carry over. Despite stating that you’re not an “um ackchyually”, you’re doing exactly that.
What you failed to mention is how shockingly inaccurate Shamosuchus is represented here. This was an actual oversight by the scientific advisors and filmmakers, and is worthy of criticism. Shamosuchus wasn’t Nile crocodile under a different name. Its suggested ecology is that of a shell-crusher, not an azhdarchid baby-eater, so therefore its skull morphology would have been vastly different than presented here. If they wanted a more conventional crocodilian, then Paralligator should have been used instead
i feel like the script should have said The Cretaceous and not 66 million years ago
7:46 a WHAT kick, bluey?🤨
Ninja kick!
T. Rex truly was an awesome predator, but this documentary has shown how even the Tyrant Lizard King knows when to back down to the king of the Cretaceous skies. Especially if there’s two of them.
One thing I have to say. Mosasaurs are not monitor lizards, not even closely related. The latest phylogenies place them next to snakes, which is quite far from monitors.
I would love for them to do other periods. A visit to the Jurassic or Triassic would be amazing!
Would love to see Jurassic period for Microraptor and early birds
I’ve waited a long time for this, still hoping for another season of Prehistoric Planet.
My personal favorite creature for season II and the overall series is Austroraptor !!!
They are my favorite Dromeosaurids and I really hope to see them in Jurassic World: Reborn or Jurassic World Evolution III.
They look mesmerizinglly wonderfull in the Swamps episode.
You should make an accuracy review of Antedeliuvian my Mario Lanzas for real for real.
I love how the meme of Jack Horner is always just him being wrong. He deserves it.
Prehistoric Planet Getting The Lower Rate Again! Come on
Underrated channel also will you do the walking with dinosaurs 2 review and accuracy review when it comes out
Can you review Megafauna: What Killed Australia’s Giants next?
Can you do a Paleo Myth on if the dinosaur extinction never happened, Stenonychosaurus (not called Troodon) could have evolved into the "Dinosauroid".
Yay New video!
Speaking of a new time period, it would be cool to see prehistoric planet's take on the Permian but idk if that's within the scope the writers have in mind.
Did anyone else hope Prehistoric Planet 2 would show us the kpg extinction event? Just me? Okay.
I was waiting for you to comment on the Quetzalcoatlus and T. rex confront. There was quite come controversial around that scene
Eh i like it still better than some documentary let's hope that WWD remake will be as good if not better than Prehistoric Planet.
If they make Prehistoric Planet 3, they need to shift focus to the Jurassic. I wanna see the most modern, paleo-accurate depictions of Stegosaurus and Allosaurus on-screen already!
You know who else likes reviewing Dino documentary??
MY MOM!!
In season 2’s defense, a lot of the clips were parts that were meant to be part of season 1 but needed to be cut. Plus it would have been awkward to, say, have shown the smaller, outdated Nanuqsaurus in season 1 be replaced by the newer, larger estimated size in season 2.
Is it just me, or does the belzebofo look smaller than it did in the first season?
Round 2 of Prehistoric planet review after I love this documentary next to first one
I mentioned this before, but in Badlands there’s only two raptors working together. And with the difference in colors, I think that’s a mated pair.
I feel there’s a difference there and pack behavior
One criticism yhat dou didn't mention is the Shamosuchus design. The skull shape is inaccurate and I think it might be too big.
BABE, WAKE UP! NEW ACCURACY REVIEW JUST DROPPED!
Really with we'd get a Triassic-focused prehistoric special, there are so many creatures from that time that deserve the spotlight.
2:36: That skin has since been shown to be hadrosaur skin.
To be fair, they do say the Velociraptors are living in a family pack to raise their young.
and along with pack hunting we got T.rex hunting edmontosaurus... again (the scene was fire tho)
Really hope next season will cover late Triassic
The show definitely lost points for not showing any dromaeosaurs doing Raptor Prey Restraint.
Totally agree. Additionally, although it’s super speculative, it would have been cool and interesting to see some (baby) dromaeosaurids flying
And what about Pachycephalosaurus Spinifer? it's another species of Pachycephalosaurus, the other being Pachycephalosaurus Wyomingensis.
Fun video.
Just at your season one review tho I still can’t wrap my head around you having a problem with both the vague names and the dating of the show. I think if you have a problem with that that is either the same problem or one should negate the other.
I actually just did some research (not the papers but a fun wiki referencing papers so take it with a grain of salt) but with bayan mandahu and djadochta formations too there are bone fragments that are recognized as a tarbosaur, hadrosaur and some of the “mixed formation” dinos. I might be wrong here but the migrating dinos through these areas do not seem as much of a strech to me as you state in the video.
I did not even think about the neck being too thicc on the little guy, that actually makes so much sense! 😮
i do wish we had Prehistoric Planet 3 this time we can look at Paleozoic Triassic Jurassic and Cenozoic animals as well as Cretaceous animals too
I hope my man Hugh Mungus is doing well. Imagibe being persecuted for your name 😢
This year we actually did find some triceratops specimens that lived together. I think they were 12 of them if I’m not mistaken
Last I saw that discovery on Google, it was stated it was 5 individuals.
@@kylecollier7569 oh yea that’s right
@@tyrannotherium7873 Not that I'd doubt that Triceratops would live in slightly larger groups, but probably no more than 10 in a herd. I mean White Rhinos do live more social lives than other Rhino species and perhaps that's another reason why Triceratops "should" live in herds, but because they're amongst the largest Ceratopsids they don't need to live in herds hundreds to thousands strong like their Centrosaurine relatives.
Maybe who knows
I actually didn’t think we would get an accuracy review on Prehistoric Planet 2, but here we are. How cool is that?
its kinda criminal not talking about that geogeous Tyrannosaurus hunting scene in ep.3, i mean sure its more of the same old hunting scene that has been shown in countless paleomedia, but its the first time a T-Rex hunt looked this good, no more of that long winded chases with loud roars and epic fights, instead its more quiet, more surprise, and ambush tactics similar to how modern big cats hunts their prey, but this time instead of a 200 pound cat, its a 10 ton bone crushing theropod hunting a similarly sized duck tanks, i also love how the T-Rex needed to wrestle the animal down and pin it to the ground with the help of his brother/mate before killing the hadrosaur, instead of just biting and crushing the neck in a single bite like most other depiction do, it really shows that every hunt is a risky business even for the largest predators
Scientifically accurate T. Rex in Jurassic Park would be way more terrifying.
Quiet, no ground shaking, and can see you when you don't move.
You also might want to refrain from inserting your personal opinions about the aesthetics of the animals in future "accuracy reviews". It's hardly got anything to do with accuracy, seeing how nature couldn't care less if something looks good to us humans or not.
it'd not surprise me if some stuff is already dated, also if birds today can be together, I don't see why prehistoric planet can't do the same for velociraptor.
Honestly? I say we take it back to the 110 Million Year Section or the 90 Million? show more Cretacious Era Dinosaurs, Like Mapusaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Altirhinus, Suchomimus, Nodosaurus, Sauropelta, Argentinasaurus. Would love to see stuff on the Suchomimus especially, bairly gets any kind of time in documentries from what I have seen.
My opinion is always like this 7:11
0:32 Taking a jab at the left when we're here for you to talk about dinosaurs is certainly A Choice
It wasn't really? Unless he's got Marx horribly wrong. Marx wanted laborers to own the means of production...
@@theangryholmesian4556 He does, indeed, have Marx horribly wrong. Marxism does not mean piracy. The "means of production" refer to four things: Land, labor, capital goods, or products that are used to produce more products, and infrastructure. Ownership of these would mean these would be controlled by the state; officially, it'd be by the workers, but the workers would also comprise the state (nominally, things usually didn't shake out like that,) so the workers controlled them by proxy.
@@DefrostedChicken Ahh. I thought he was joking. Yeah I don't get it then either.

first time ive seen you include a bluey scene.
season 2 left me with one huge mind blow, and i am just wondering if it was actualy possible. ''Quatzalcoatlus able to fend a adullt tyrannosaurus?'' plz tell me if this could be possible. i find it a bit to far
They were the size of giraffes and had beaks that could severely damage T-Rex’s ability to hunt by taking out its eyes.
Unless it was starving it makes sense a T-Rex wouldn’t challenge two at once.
@@joshuacollins9316 yea but trex just has to close his mouth on one of then and they would be split i half with out any force, to me it feel like 2 swans vs a tiger or something
@@sp0oky195 not exactly the same at all. Swans are not comparable in height to a tiger, and also don’t have beaks that can poke out the tigers eyes easily from a distance.
yes they both have “one shots” essentially that could greatly damage each other.
The Quetzs can fly and are more agile than trex tho. Which would allow them to attack Trex from angles that it couldn’t as easily defend from.
And yes all TRex had to do is bite them, but in order to do that it would have to put its eyes in danger and wide open to being stabbed by the Quetzs beaks. And having two attacking it once, would be more than enough risk for a T-Rex to second guess challenging them.
TBH a hot take I have about this season is the lack of pterosaur diversity we only see azdharchids plus alcione in the first segment of the series. I feel like oceans was the perfect moment to include a non azdharchid pterosaur like dawndraco, Pteranodon maysei, Tethydraco, simurghia or epapatelo.
Titanoboa just can’t be beat
Sorry, but it feels a bit ironic that you keep mispronouncing David Attenborough's name in an accuracy review series. His name is Atten-bruh, not Atten-burrow.
How many times are we gonna whine about the whole raptor pack hunting thing. To put this plainly theres is no evidence for OR against this. Aka unknown so it doesn't count as inaccurate as its a unkown atm. Is this overused absolutely is it wrong no because again no evidence for or against
All mosasaurs were cool to me until I found a near perfect Globidens alabamaensis tooth in Mississippi. Toooootally, definitely not biased towards Globidens ever since
Were so back
11:28 Phalaropes: 😢
For context, phalaropes are birds whose females are colorful, mate multiple times during breeding season and don't play a role in parental care. It is instead the drab males who judge the females' displays, build a nest and do the child rearing.
In many species of birds, amphibians and fish males take care of youngs.
Super Nice
I like them equally to be honest
I don’t agree with the Pachy growth stage thing, since if you really think about it, Dracorex would’ve started with spikes, grow them alongside a dome, and than shrunk the spikes, which doesn’t make sense since if you look at Triceratops, their horns grow in age as they reach maturity
You know not every animal grows the exact same way right? We have to use the fossil evidence we have, not argue about what "makes sense". The evidence appears to point to the spikes receding, so that is the conclusion we have to draw until more research is done or more fossils are found that disprove it.
@@russman3787 I was saying my opinion on the matter
@@LordBumblebee1238 But science isn't about opinions
@@russman3787 For the most part, but I’d rather not get into a debate in a comments section, since paleontologists themselves do have opinions, but let’s not continue this argument
@LordBumblebee1238
From what I understand on the Triceratops growth, Adults lose the spikes on their frill that they had as juveniles when they get older.
I have to agree with your pachycephalosaurus analysis, the old male should look like an older mature specimen, but i also have an idea of my own which i think is a problem i have with php in general, there is almost no weight to the animals, i mean pachycephalosaurus is a 900lbs~ animal it should feel that way, and some things like the bigger theropods also feel like they have no weight. This is furthered when you have good scenes like the one where the rex pushes the archelon body which does truly show the force behind it, but then something like the rex fighting the quetz where is just kind of throws its body around and feels like it cant hold itself up
Disagree, especially when you see how bulls, bears, hippos, and rhinos can react and move very fast for animals of their size and body shape.
@@ExtremeMadnessX no, it wasn't about speed, these are gracile animals. I'm talking about there being no weight when they move or hit each other, we should feel their muscles skins and bones move around when they move. Their speed was fine for every dino, just no weight for some scenes
@@KhanArtist3 I never felt that they don't have weight? Heavy animals can move surprisingly very fast when they want to.
@@ExtremeMadnessX dude it's not hard to read what I said, I said the speed is fine but the weight the movement of their bodies (not just running) does not feel heavy.
The actions they do do not feel like their is weight behind them, despite most creatures here weighing well over our modern animals standards. Pachycephalosaurus was definitely fast but the weight behind it's running and movement should've been emphasized better
Honestly I'm still a defender of the Velociraptor's portrayal in S1. In Deserts I think, Attenborough stated that "they often hunt together", not that they live together (I'm looking at you, Life on Our Planet), and in my opinion that is implying that the only time they spend together is when they're on the hunt. Freshwater too showed the female running away with her catch and leaving the males behind. But in Badlands they made it dirty. I don't know why they did it if not for spectacularization sake, after ALL the maniraptorans that are shown hunting/living alone (Atrociraptor, Kuru, Pectinodon, the troodontid) or coming together just for preying upon other animals (Dromaeosaurus, Austroraptor and the velociraptors from S1). I LOVE Prehistoric Planet, but had been the velociraptors family shown in any other documentary, I would have criticized it, so for as cool as the sequence was, I have to be objective and blame it here too.
So Dromaeosauridae did hunt alone!
@@explodingdynamite7319 for the time being, there's no strong evidence suggesting that they lived together in packs like many predatory mammals of today use to. It's more likely that younger individuals occupied a different ecological niche from the adults (the same seems to be true for many other clades of theropods): findings such as the three Deinonychus fossils gathered around a Tenontosaurus carcass suggest that interactions between youngs and adults could be REALLY violent, which is something extremely unlikely to happen in stably gregarious animals. It's still in the realms of possibilities that dromaeosaurids (as well as other theropods) could occasionally form associations to hunt down preys or feast on large carcasses (in nature, that's called "mobbing"), but for now, the idea of a Velociraptor pack is kinda unlikely.
@@explodingdynamite7319it is still in the realms of possibilities that dromaeosaurids, as well as other theropods, could occasionally form associations to hunt down preys or feast on carcasses (in nature that's called "mobbing"), but I wouldn't go as far as that. There's no strong evidence suggesting that dromaeosaurids lived together in durable packs like many predatory mammals of today use to; it's likely that younger individuals occupied a different ecological niche from the adults (again, that's the case for several other theropods like the tyrannosaurids), and the Internations between them could have been really violent. That's suggested for instance from the fossils of these Deinonychus close to a Tenontosaurus carcass suggesting that they had been killed (and possibly eaten) by the adults, and such a violent behavior is really unlikely for stably social animals

Did you see what paleonerd said about you ?
BLUUUUUUEEEEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!! LOL
S1 had scenes which was almost just the dinosaur walking around and shaking their head staring at the camera.
S2 had the creatures being far more dynamic and interacting with other creatures more, like the interaction between tarchia and prenocephale.
Part of the reason s2 is shorter is because it has less shots of empty spaces taking up runtime. S1 had a lot of shots of scenery without any creatures.
I usually skip over the rex river scene and antarctopelta scene in s1 because its really just a single species of dinosaur lounging around or walking not doing anything spectacular. Deinocheirus is saved by its novelty factor and behavior.
The s1 quetz nesting scene is also fairly boring. I mean out of all the azdarchid behaviors they pick the most generic and they could literally swap quetz out with any dinosaur or oviparous creature in that scene. Seeing azdarchids stalk prey, displaying to eachother, and intimidating hunter’s off their kills is much more align with their anatomy.
Imagine a documentary about ponds and the dragonfly nymph are only on screen for 3 minutes depicted hatching from their eggs. That is a waste of that organism. The most interesting thing about dragonfly nymph are their swimming ability, extendable labium, and their role as a micro apex predator. If you are just going to show things hatching from eggs you can literally pick any oviparous animal. The platypus would be a great choice since it shows mammals can be oviparous too.
The second season doesnt have these issues at all. Every scene is consistently engrossing across the board. If you are only going to show creatures lounging around or walking make sure there are many species in that scene or make the environment look awe-inspiring. The ammonite scene in s2 pulls this off very well imo.
Real
I admit that I got a kick out of the scriptwriting decision that showed the cold-climate dinosaurs were allegedly warm blooded by using "heat-sensitive cameras." They really do look exactly like creatures do when modern wildlife videos use heat sensitive cameras, and if I let myself zone out just a little bit while I'm watching it, I can forget it's CGI designed instead of filmed like any other nature documentary.
What do you mean allegedly warm-blooded?
How could be active during the winter otherwise?
Cold blooded animals also don't have fur or feathers because they need outside source of warm.
@@ExtremeMadnessX I'm just saying that because there's a lot of room in between pure endothermic and pure exothermic, and different dinosaurs appear to have been at different points along the way. Clearly, cold-climate dinos would need to be somewhere toward the endothermic side of the spectrum, but there could be some sort of range.
@@norarivkis2513 Everything about dinosaurs saying that they were warm-blooded.
From feathers in many small species to the way of insane fast growing in sauropods.
As well as having a respiratory system more efficient than in mammals.
@@ExtremeMadnessX That's not what I've seen, from a lot of study. Many dinosaurs were certainly warm-blooded, but it wasn't as simple as that. Some of them -- especially in the Triassic -- were cold-blooded outright; and many of them, especially the largest of them, were in between, with their size helping them retain heat so well that they kept a fairly consistent temperature even through the nights.
While I agree that the polar dinos were almost certainly among the warm-blooded types, I don't think you can make a blanket statement like "dinosaurs were all warm-blooded" about such a huge range of animals over such a long stretch of time. Some of them were very reptilian, including being ectomorphic. Others were, and are, quite literally birds in every modern sense of the word including their thermal regulation. It's not a single category with a single answer.
