I think the theory for Campanian Tyrannosaur niche partionating was actually that Daspletosaurus, with its robust and build, was going after the larger and less nimble Hadrosaurs, while Albertosaurines, being more lightler, tall and faster build, were going for the smaller and nimble ceratopsids.
i thought it was the opposite with daspletosaurus going after the armored herbivores and of course the humungous hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus and Lambeosaurus while gorgosaurus hunted the faster mid sized hadrosaurs like Corythosaurus and the Ornithomimids, and possibly younger ceratopsians.
If you pitched the idea of what a T Rex is to like a fiction writer competition, it would be labeled as a completely ridiculous OP Mary Sue monster, and you would be thrown out of the writer's room: Some of the best vision ever recorded, some of the best smell ever recorded, some of the best hearing ever recorded, able to communicate with others of its kind over miles-long distances like some kind of whale on land (using sound frequency that most other animals couldn't hear), can run quite fast for its size over long distances, grew to full size extremely quickly like a xenomorph, had one of the higher bite forces ever recorded, has twisted serrated teeth because apparently top bite force wasn't enough, has sub-sapient levels of intelligence, their head was covered in hard scutes in addition to their nigh unbreakable bone structure so they could headbut stuff with the force of 8 tons moving at 20mph, their legs were also extremely agile and it's implied that they could perform acrobatic maneuvers despite their size like sidestepping and extremely quick turning, and the list just keeps going, tell me if i missed anything because I'm sure I did. This animal was completely ridiculous. I'm sure all of its cousins were of a similar nonsensical overkill, considering they covered the planet.
And this always seems to create some weird hang up in the minds of writers. They always go out of their way to make Rex lose or get overshadowed by something else, as if they need to prove to the audience that their Rex isn't a Mary Sue.
Now this is just a crackpot theory but is it possible Gorgosaurus was a pack hunter? It would make sense given its smaller size and the fact that it seems to be more widespread than Daspletosaurus. Living in packs would certainly give it an advantage over its larger competitors and allow it to hunt larger prey.
While there’s not really any evidence of it, I would certainly like to believe that they may have hunted in groups. These probably weren’t sophisticated packs though, they were probably more like family groups or loose uncoordinated gangs/individuals brought together by a large food source, similar to crocodiles in Africa during a river crossing by a herbivore herd or vultures piling on top of a large animal corpse. Birds are the only living dinosaurs and crocodilians are their closest relatives, and neither of them pack hunt, so it’s probably safe to say that non avian dinosaurs weren’t pack hunters either. Still, the possibility may exist…
Seeing as dinosaurs are close to birds, I wouldn’t doubt many were smart enough to figure it out. As far as I know, there is no evidence against or for pack hunting for gorgosaurus
Being smaller and being more widespread actually makes more sense. Smaller creature has more individuals per biomass, lower caloric requirements per individual, etc., so naturally they're going to distribute individuals further.
i wonder if gorgosaurus possibly lived in family groups considering that it's descendant Albertosaurus is also possibly considered one. kinda makes sense though with Lambeosaurus and Parasaurolphus being Behemoths of course.
I remember the gorgosaurus from a dinosaur movie I watched as a kid, it was terrifying as hell, the other dinosaurs spoke with human voices but the realistic gorgosaurus in the movie didn't, that was like seeing a giant creature towering over you.
Triceratops and Ankylosaurus didn't live with Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus and Ceratopsins and Ankylosaurs that lived with them were smaller, so Daspletosaurus would be the only real threat to a Gorgosaurus
When making a cringy youtube video with my friends I created the name Gorgosaurus for a dinosaur's species and when I found out it was a real dino I was so happy
Do u guys remember the feathered gorgosaurus from that dino Film about the troodon and edmontosaurus? Played in the North Pole i think Yothat thing was a real nightmare
I did, and (except for the stupid voice acting) I actually enjoy it. Amazingly, it holds up to modern paleontology pretty well, and it was just really well made, all things considered.
Hmmmm since both Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus live at the same place and at the same time, and since both are very close related to each other, do you think that they may crossbreed and create hybrids that share traits from both species? 👀
@@NanuqEditzS I doubt that we would've already found evidence of such a crossbreed even if it did exist. While 2 separate but similar enough species can indeed make a viable offspring, like the pizzly, the liger, and a mule to name a few. It's still quite rare for these to happen naturally in the wild since that 2 different species would usually see each other as competition rather than seeing each other as being "doable", even if they shared a common ancestor. So it is possible that such a creature has existed but we just haven't found any evidence yet since that it's so rare. I mean we are discovering new fossils belonging to a newly discovered species more often than usual, and heck, we're also discovering new things about already discovered species so who's to say that we will never find a hybrid? But then again, it's possible that they would just classify it as another separate species, but what would I know?
@@noimsquidward7327 Crossbreeds are also rarer in Carnivores,because like you stated: "Carnivores see other species as competition instead of doable" In my opinion the most likely crossbreeds were between small Herbivores like Bagaceratops and Magnirostris
Btw penguins are also part of the dinosaur family because they still carry some of their biological ancestors jeans and it took them a long time to reach the way they look as they are right now if that doesn't scare you then I don't know what will 😅😅😅😅
I always wondered how they knew what species of fossil they were really dealing with. What I mean is, imagine getting up to 30ft long at max, but we dig up your little brother who is only 11ft. Most bipedal dinos look pretty similar to me. So how do we know we've dug up little brother and not an adult version of a completely different species?
Actually, its surprisingly easy if we have enough material for the species. Adult animals have fused bones in several parts of the body, which don't start out fused as infants. As an animal grows, so too do their bones. Eventually, certain bones fuse together. If we have an adult specimen, then we know what bones are supposed to be fused, what bones aren't, etc. Sometimes, we don't have an adult or juvenile specimen, which is why many species are named prematurely (Like Nannotyrannus), as we don't have enough basis to go on. It's never 100% foolproof, and there are other ways they check as well, like ontogenetic analysis.
Hadrosauridae were stronger than ceratopsians and ankylosauridae because they had strong skin also parasaurolophus had no predators and all carnivores were afraid of it
What paleomedia are you reading lad? Hadrosaurs actually had pretty thin skin and they predators everywhere, even if they were bigger. Edmontosaurus was about the size of T-Rex, but it was still hunted by them. Also, you’re not one of those guys who believes in the stupid creationist “Fire Breathing Parasaurolophus Theory”, are you?
I don’t know if this is true, but I heard somewhere that Gorgosaurus’ eyes are more to the side of his skull than the front, giving them more herbivore-like eyesight.
It is a gorgeous saurus! I call them that all the time! I love that you included that
BA DUm CRACk
Yeah it was the best line ever
Hi I’m here again
Gorgo has always been my favorite tyrannosaur, I have a thing for underdogs who grow to be widespread
Maybe that’s why I like Lystrosaurus so much
Out of all the characters in the movie that every dinosaur fan hated, Gorgon has got to be the most handsome theropod

As much as I like T. rex as my favourite Dinosaur, gorgosaurus are too my favs, Albertasaurus and gorgosaurus are hard to tell which one is which
I love how you showcase different visual perspectives for the species you show

The only part of the WWD Pachyrhino movie that was actually good
Yep that’s one gorgeoussaurus
One of my favorite tyrannosaurs nainle because of the walking with dinosaurs kids movie that i also just watched an hour ago what an coincident
Yeah that's why I'm familiar with them too, it's interesting seeing more theropod dinosaurs like that
@@tonybanks1148 im always a fan of the mire uncommon dinosaurs that arnt that famous
I wonder if this two Tyrannosauroids can interbreed with each other during rare occasions.
My favourite dinosaur
Like prehistoric underdogs like the gorgo and creato , have something that makes them unique apart from the top predators in their times.
What an u underrated Dino if u search up the gorosaurus u get king Kong's enemy
Because Gorgosaurus and Gorosaurus are 2 different things. Gorgosaurus is real and Gorosaurus isn't
Besides its spelled differently
Or godzilla ally
Skull Island? Those were Vastatosaurus Rex
@@KyuuDesperation They meant Toho's Kong.
Is it embarrassing if I say that I got introduced to this dinosaur after watching Talking with dinosaurs?
Eh not too embarrassing but yes to a degree
Not really, I think it’s actually the best depiction of Gorgosaurus we’ve ever gotten in paleomedia.
Besarnya gorgon ini...matanya sungguh menjengkelkan
I would say it’s pretty even in their respective prey.Paras and a lot of hadrosaurs aren’t easy to kill and were typically larger then the predator
Thanks for covering my all time favourite dinosaur
I love your videos❤
My favourite dino
Walking with Dinosaurs (the one with the dumb voice overs) did these amazing animals dirty
Not that much.
you remove the second g and you get something way more terrifying

Can you do Alectrosaurus?
"Other tyrannosaurus" Ankylosaurus and triceratops: am i a joke to you
Triceratops and Ankylosaurus didn't live with Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus and Ceratopsins and Ankylosaurs that lived with them were smaller, so Daspletosaurus would be the only real threat to a Gorgosaurus
Great dinosaur info site. I'm really eatin' this shit up.
what happends when u use Chicken DNA into Lizard DNA?
When making a cringy youtube video with my friends I created the name Gorgosaurus for a dinosaur's species and when I found out it was a real dino I was so happy
There Albertosaurus | and The cooler albertosaurus: gorgosaurus
It would've been funny if you mentioned the giant 20 meter fictional dinosaur from the Toho Godzilla franchise; Gorosaurus (Not Gorgosaurus)
can you make one for albertosaurus please
I’m pretty sure that Gorgosaurs would hunt Juvenile ceratopsians if needed
Definitely not parasaurolophus as shown. Those things are 13 feet at the shoulder. Corythosaurus and lambeosaurus we're likely the main staple.
@@midnightsan9917 i thought lambeosaurus was also huge if not close to Parasaurolophus.
@@usmanya5110 lambeosaurus is 7.7 feet tall. Quite large but quite a bit shorter than parasaurolophus
This dinosaur Hunts herbivores
Am I the the only one who actually knows about the walking with dinosaurs movie?
I watch the Walking with Dinosaurs i know well this gorgo the gorgosaurus🦖🦖🦖
Other enemies:pachyrhinosaurus
Do u guys remember the feathered gorgosaurus from that dino Film about the troodon and edmontosaurus?
Played in the North Pole i think
Yothat thing was a real nightmare
What music even is that
Also I'd 100% put a gorgosaurus into a melancholic horror flick
What are the physical differences between Alberta and Gorgo? I can't see them!
Gorgosaurus and daspletosaurus coexisted???? Who new
I’ve always like the gorgeous saurus cause of walking with dinosaurs, I think the gorgos name was Gorgon? Not sure but always loved that movie
Yup gorgon
I want to see allosaurus vs gorgo
Who watched walking with dinosaurs 3d
I did, and (except for the stupid voice acting) I actually enjoy it. Amazingly, it holds up to modern paleontology pretty well, and it was just really well made, all things considered.
GORGOSAURUS😮UIP
Is this the Crescent Hawk's Revenge?
Canada hell yeah!
Question, does it live alongside Albertosaurus?
I wonder why daspletosaurus never attack gorgo
Wwd 2 pachrino: gorgo is the enemy of meeeeeeeeeeeeee🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

When writing a genus and species you never capitalize the second word.

If things got hard for one part at some point, maybe. Coywolfs (coyotes + wolfs) are a thing so i wouldn't be surprised
Is there any evidence of daspletosaurus not being an older gorgosaurus? Similar head shape and crests
What's the difference between Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus
Did dinosaurs have feathers and were they reptiles or something else?
Btw penguins are also part of the dinosaur family because they still carry some of their biological ancestors jeans and it took them a long time to reach the way they look as they are right now if that doesn't scare you then I don't know what will 😅😅😅😅
What sound track is this I’m trying to make a fax short about cryolophosaurus like how you do dinosaur fax videos
Gorgosaurus had strongest bite force ever in dinohistory and its stronger t.rex bite force
So the gorgo can kill a chonky hadrosaur with a horn thing and is very big?
Or a large ceratopsian
He looks like... a pickle
