This is a bit late, but thank you for watching and waiting! If you're unfamiliar with my channel, I like to have a thread on all of my long-form videos where I address mistakes and post corrections or updates to anything I've said that may have been rendered outdated post-release. This is an ongoing and open thing and so feel free to contribute at any time with something you may have caught. *Correction #1:* I mentioned that phytosaurs aren't technically part of Pseudosuchia and that may still be true, but I've been made aware that there's been some work in the last few years that does actually find them to be members of the group, albeit still not close to crocodilians at all and the other Triassic croc cousins are still more closely related. So the overall relationship hasn't changed, just their position of in versus out. *Update #1 (Mar. 30, 2023):* Regarding the part about lips (12:25 - "Dinosaur Overview Pt. 2: Put Your Teeth Away"), the case for lips on beakless toothy theropods has just been strengthened by a new publication: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo7877
I was a docent at a museum in Ithaca, New York when I first watched the series. The New York placement of the episode was always amusing since they stressed in the museum's dinosaur section that at best our state had a tentative Coelophysid footprint for the entire Mesozoic. Even so, the episode serves as a decent speculative depiction of what New York was probably like at the time. Great job breaking it all down!
I personally uset he term "proto-mammal" from Paleoworld's episode on Dimetrodon and other Permian animals. Also, I think you forgot to add in the locust itself, as Icarusaurus appears when you talk about it. I think you might wanna fix that, as the audio looks out of synch.
Really appreciate you doing this, and your editing makes it really fun to watch, and the way you break things down makes it easy to understand! Growing up WWD and WDRA were shows i religiously watched on the holidays since kindergarten (also prehisoric park later on). I can't imagine people bashing either of these GOATs/pitting them against each other- we're not exactly spoilt for choice here when it comes to good documentaries. Lowkey still have trauma from some scenes from both shows though. If time and life werent an issue id love to see you tackle other shows too, or even other media like the animals in prehistoric kingdom when the game comes out, but we live in a society
Now I have to know what sort of trauma _WDRA_ imparted on you! I have three guesses as to which scene... I appreciate your appreciation and I'm pleased my editing skills are good enough to be entertaining! As for other shows, I don't have a long list of things that I'd like to cover in-depth like I'm doing for _WDRA._ There are a few but I won't spoil them all, though I've alluded to or mentioned some before in other videos and comments. I'd love to get my hands on _Prehistoric Kingdom_ and _Saurian_ for some play-through videos if I ever get a computer strong enough to actually run them, but I probably wouldn't have much to say in terms of scientific critiques. Their designs are so good that anything I'd say outside of "These are great!" would just be minor design choices that are mostly subjective aesthetic stuff.
Nice vid! Keep it up! P.S. Maybe for "detail sake", making a vid for every segment would be nice, but I do get these vids probably take A LOT of your time, so I dont blame you at all if you decide to make just 2 or even just 1 long-ish video. Also, as a suggestion of sorts, maybe a segment with the species that actually existed at the time and place (geological formation) of the section of the documentary would be interesting.
Thank you for watching and for your P.S. suggestion. The thing about that is, like I said, most of the segments actually do a pretty solid job at having creatures (proven or speculative) in their right times and places; if anything they mostly just leave out animals because of budget and/or story constraints, which would be cool to make note of as well. I'm definitely leaning towards a separate video per segment at this point. I've got a couple other things to work on before I plan on starting the next one in this series in earnest, so I'll see how long the next part ends up being. Based on my notes, the Early Jurassic segment might not seem like much but who knows. If it turns out to be at least 15 minutes then it'll be its own piece, I think.
Um, excuse me, Mr. Adasaur? Hi, hello, I'm just a little curious. Um, so when is your next review for WDRA gonna come out. Because I would really love to learn more about the Dinos from this documentary.
Hi; I can't say when it'll come out, but it's officially in the "research is mostly done" phase. (There's A LOT to go over and I've been triple checking things to make sure they're up to date.) I have some other exciting projects coming out fairly soon that'll be taking priority for the next month or two - plus school - so I probably won't start scripting the next WDRA video until November. Sorry for the wait, but it will be worth it!
This is actually far from the worst; there's a shot I didn't include from the end of this scene where the _Rutiodon_ slides back into the water. _That_ one's bad; the one I did use at least has the implication of ripples with the water coloration, but the other shot is an absolute OOF. Only reason I didn't use it is because this one works better in the context of my video.
13:09 omg I like how you found Tracy Ford I interviewed him and I’m also friends with him on Facebook. I also have a book that he published of why theropods did not have lips even though I don’t care about the debate anymore
It's not technically a mammal, if by "mammal" you mean within Mammalia, which is how I was using the term here. It is a mammaliaform though, so close, but not quite there.
@@Adasaur250 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm curious - I know it is a little farther back than the last common ancestor of all modern mammals - but are there any skeletal details that preclude it being a true mammal? I thought it had the correct ear bones & jaw bones for a mammal. Maybe I was mistaken about that.
@@wcdeich4 I'm nowhere near even a layman level expert on this, but if understand correctly the key feature is that they have an extra bone in their jaw joint that crown group Mammalia ("true mammals") don't have.
Honestly, until we find a mo Mummy, we will know the truth if theropods had lips are not according to Dr. Thomas car, and Dr. Stephen Brusatti and probably other paleontologists

really awesome, really high quality video making and analysis
Thank you; glad you think so.

good show
Wonderful video! I really love your editing and I look forward to the next part!
Well Not all dinosaurs probably did not have lips
Can we talk about how well edited is this? Seriusly, it's amazing, even better than some television productions
Thank you! The editing is a huge part of why these take so long to make, so I appreciate everyone who's noticed it.

Okay.@@Adasaur250
I love the video and content that you make since I’m a paleontologist lol so Great Job
25:30 Definitely the worst effects shot in the series. Ridiculous the creature doesn’t make ripples in the water
