Hearing this called "chased by dinosaurs" is so weird to me as being Bri'ish I always knew it as two separate entities called "the giant claw" and "land of giants" but I still loved them regardless
Ikr. The first time I heard someone call it I was like “I don’t think I’ve ever watched that before” until I searched it and it was a combination of both
From what I remember from the long dead BBC website = 1) The presence of Pteranodon in Early Cretaceous South America was based on a large humerus assigned to Pteranodontidae from the Albian of Peru by Chris Bennett in 1989. 2) The South American iguanodonts were based on trackways of large ornithopods in the Candeleros Formation, so are probably not Macrogryphosaurus.
The excuse for no feathers is probably production/budgetary. Especially back then when CGI was still fairly new, it was immensely more difficult and expensive to animate feathers or fur than scales.
There's also a fragmentary titanosaur known from the same formation as Giganotosaurus that apparently got to the same size as Argentinosaurus. Honestly, I think it may be a species of Argentinosaurus, since South American titanosaurs tend to be really oversplit.
@@mofumyon yeah, the type fossil is found in 1999, but it was only described in 2021... the thing is dubbed "the candeleros monster" and based on patagotitan it would be a massive titanosaur that rivaled even argentinosaurus in size
I love how you mentioned Jurassic Park and Dinosaurs being separate interests and not all people would like both of them. (I’ll fight you) It annoys me too that people HAVE to mention the movies every time something Dino-related happens. Keep up the great work, I love your humor, and the facts you provide to us! Thank you!
@@ein_blinde_Nashorn you have a point, JP did popularize dinosaurs for sure, but the problem is that most people try to rip off Jurassic park or take elements from it as if there’s nothing else to do with dinosaurs. Take the risk and do something original
@Mister Majestic The Dilo and raptor were pretty terrible. The raptor less so, since technically it's supposed to be a Deinonychus they just called it "velociraptor" because they thought it sounded better.
Let me tell you as a paleo nerd it really does my soul proud to know your recovering these classic documentaries. Really clever and fun. Keep up the nostalgia witch burnings 😌👏🏾🤣🙌🏾🙏🏾. Btw idc what anyone says. That giga design is top tier
Nice Video of Chased By Dinosaurs. I absolutely adore Chased By Dinosaurs, it’s one of my favorite Walking with Dinosaurs series growing up alongside the Original Walking with Dinosaurs and Planet Dinosaur from the BBC and I definitely enjoy them more than Walking with Beasts in my opinion. Great video Red Raptor and keep it up and I really hope Dinosaur Revolution and Planet Dinosaur are up next after this.
It was refreshing to hear someone else point out the irritating trend of the media mentioning JP in every prehistory news article. I also really hate the trend of T. rex being shoehorned into every article, even ones that don't concern theropod dinosaurs or even dinosaurs at all.
3:46 my theory is that it mostly ate fish,it’s jaw structure and the fact it’s easily the most aquatic of the fauna it lived with( like Suchomimus couldn’t swim well)
Very nice review! This show was certainly apart of my childhood, and I'm glad some of designs and behaviour have held up over time. Also, I really enjoyed the bits of comedy, haha. Subscribed!
I know its not dinosaur related but I'd love to see how you'd break down the what if Dragons were real documentary. Where a frozen dragon is found. I loved it as a kid and would love to see/hear your input on if they were real, how would they breathe fire or fly, and if their hypothetical science is decent for the time
I absolutely loved these shows and wish they made more. sea monsters and pre-historic park are also great but I liked the vibe of just going back and interacting with these animals. If more are ever made just hope they focus more on accuracy.
I loved this as a kid because I loved prehistoric megafauna and personalities like Steve Irwin. Now I love this series for putting on at specific parts for guests who are very stoned or high, and not giving them any context.
I’m glad you appreciate those who add to discourse! A NOTE: As someone who LOVES your reviews and as someone who’s taken several graduate level genetics and biology courses in pursuit of my degree, the “count them, 2 genders” comment comes off as SUUUPER transphobic, and I don’t want to see a creator with really good content who seems to really care about scientific accuracy walk on a path of ignorance and negate all the work you put into being otherwise accurate. Others have commented, but gender is distinct from sex, and gender itself is not binary but is rather a spectrum influenced by multiple factors, not chromosomes alone. Even biological sex is not strictly a binary, as intersex individuals must be taken into account. So, I would describe sexual dimorphism between male and female non-human animals (especially dinosaurs) in a binary context, because non-human species do not experience the societal construct of gender as they do the biological construct of sex. I hope that helps, I don’t think you’re the kind of creator to purposefully say something inaccurate to be hurtful or controversial so I wanted to attempt to educate, hope you keep making great videos about dinosaurs, and I also hope that you’re not transphobic so I can continue to support them lol

So....about the Giga....Mapusaurus wasn't described until 2006, its remains were attributed to its earlier cousin, so that should be in outdated, not problems.

The thing with animation is that it takes a long time, so any new discoveries made a year or two before the release of the documentary can't be taken into account (very easily) without a rewrite, reanimation, and a lot of other things. Though, if the new discoveries were made before the documentary went into production, then it has no excuse.
My sister and I really enjoyed this one. Not the best but solid entertainment for sure.

As a person with gender dysphoria it hurt hearing the two gender thing being slapped onto my favorite animal 😞. Note I’m not trying to hate on this guy or anything
Love that I can't even watch dinosaur videos on RUclips without some poorly thought out jab and transgender people coming in. Pteranodon would have had zero genders - two sexes (likely more, given intersex variation exists in most species). Gender and sex are not the same thing and pretending they are for the sake of a lame joke is just plain annoying.
Yeah I was going to make a similar comment, but I thought it might come off as too nit-picky. I’m sure Pteranodon, like any other creature with two distinct sexes, would have had intersex variants. This is ignoring the blatantly inaccurate understanding of gender.
This is a nitpick but for animals when referring to male and female, that’s the animal’s sex not gender, gender is a psychological concept for people not animals, my biology professor had to make that very clear when we were writing papers.
I too like Jurassic Park and dinosaurs separately, however, Jurassic park is still linked to me liking dinosaurs because it is probably one of the reasons I got into dinosaurs as a kid.
@@Doomguyhunter1 that's probably because you don't know many trans people. Basically, the idea is that gender is a spectrum which, if not infinite, is very large. Non-binary people are probably the most common non male/female gender, and they are defined as such, being the middle betwixt male and female
11:39 I'm not entirely sure when this happened, but I do know that Spinosaurus being larger than T. rex and Giganotosaurus was not always known. I have dinosaur books from before that discovery that report Spinosaurus at around 36 feet or something insanely small like that. It's possible that Spinosaurus being hecking huge was already known, but if it wasn't, that could have played a factor
One issue I have with this (and most other) carcharodontosaur depictions is the meme of predators with cutting teeth that rely on blood loss being inefficient hunters that are unable to bring down even prey considerably smaller than themselves, being forced to wait hours if not days for their prey to expire. That's not how ANY large predator hunts today, even those with slicing dentition (before you mention Komodo dragons, they try to bring down prey outright via cutting damage, though not necessarily kill it; the cases of them supposedly waiting hours or days to finish a hunt are actually failed predation attempts).
14:38 not sure if this is you being trans/nonbinary phobic here since your Christian and all. Hopi g it isn't tho. Aside from that this is a very informative video, and it features my boy Nigel so I'm biased
Things you missed/got wrong: The Saurolophus is actually very inaccurate, due to being just the "Anatotitan" from WWD with a stumpy crest, which was already just a head-swap of the Iguanodon, hence it has inaccurate proportions for a hadrosaur (such as the large front limbs with thumb claws), and here, it's even worse, because the head of Saurolophus was very different from that of an Edmontosaurus. In other words, it's a corner-cutting Frankenstein monster of an ornithopod. Neither species of Sarcosuchus survived until 100 mya (vanishing at least 10 million years prior), and S. hartti was no giant, having a skull estimated at under a meter long (meaning it was roughly the size of a large living crocodilian). And the downsizing of S. imperator has nothing to do with us finding new, more complete remains, but rather because the original 40-foot estimates hinge on the notion that Sarcosuchus had proportions like a living crocodile, but since the former isn't a crocodilian but a more basal pholidosaur, researchers used different methods, like looking at the width of the skull, extrapolations of the femur and comparisons with other pholidosaurs such as Terminonaris, which all gave more conservative lengths of 30-32 feet. We do have an idea of what Argentinosaurus would have looked like, as although it is known from fragmentary remains, some related lognkosaurian titanosaurs from Argentina like Patagotitan and Futalognkosaurus are known from more complete remains and support the more brachiosaur-esque depiction. Neither of these was known in 2001-2003, so WW based their Argentinosaurus on the smaller but more complete Saltasaurus, albeit somewhat exaggerating the latter's odd, chubby appearance. Mononykus is grossly oversized,here being depicted as man-sized, when the actual animal was the size of a fox. It's actually one of the most glaringly oversized animals in the WW series.
with the joke about time travel at the end, the way I see it is that those kinds of things are self correcting, if you mess with the timeline, either a new timeline is born, or the timeline always went like that anyways
Just gonna say this, there’s a difference between gender and sex, sex sure there are 2 (3 if you count hermaphrodite) but the word gender has been redefined just like how some stuff in paleontology is redefined. But no hate intended
Explanation for the Pteranodon hanging in Argentina: in the early 2000s, a Pteranodon like species was found in Brazil's Santana Formation which for years was assumed to be a Pteranodon when production happened. However, we now know this is the slightly related species Ludodactylus. This is confirmed by the Ornithocheirus (Tropeognathus was a contemporary of Ludodactylus)
14:38 just so you know, the scientific consensus is that, while there are two sexes, gender is a spectrum and not connected with biological sex. It's a social construct relating to behaviour and identity, not what type of genitalia you have.
So you're against males going into women's restrooms, locker rooms, and sports? Despite what they might believe or how they dress, since "scientific consensus" is that there are two sexes?
@@kabsageigj8941 yep, right on the money. Trans women are women and trans men are men, like I said, and to limit people's freedoms for something other people made up (gender norms and customs) is about as asinine as doing it for skin colour, wealth or social standing. Unisex toilettes and locker rooms are already a thing, and there is no data indicating a higher percentage of sexual harassment or any of those boogyman conservatives like to bring up. Do you stop man or women to enter your home's bathroom based on gender? It's the same principle. Sports are different since the men and women sports categories are based on sex, not gender. And the few trans women who where allowed to participate as their preferred gender never demonstrated any particular advantage, or even gotten much in the way of wins, look up statistic of the last few olimpics. I also love how nobody gives a damn about female sports, but as soon as trans people are involved you see an army of insecure boys crying about regulations. Almost as if the criticisms are out of bigotry instead of fairness, uh? And "how they dress"? Clothing is the definition of a social construct and possibly the dumbest ever. Skirts have been used by men trough all of history until some dudes decided they where for women. So where heels, collant and frilly, puffy coats, just Google how the Romans, Persians, Greeks or even medieval nobles dressed. Did you know that early in their history pants where considered women attire and the patriarchs in Rome actually opposed their implementation? And here you are pretending pants are a natural fenomenon 🤣. I'm just guessing, but I bet you don't mind women wearing pants, gilet, jackets, suits or any other "masculine" attire, I think a woman in a suit is hot as fuck, what makes you think men in dresses aren't? In short, yes. Gender as a concept makes no sense and it differs between cultures, which makes it unenforceable in a fair, egalitarian society. Not that this has any relevance with the moronic claim in the video itself but hey, you asked. Love you ❤️.
Even sex is not as cut and dry as "only 2". In mammals there is significant genetic deviation as well as physically observable deviation between 1&2%. For ancient species these numbers could be seriously different. Birds have ZZ or ZW but we still see birds that appear male on one side and female on the other.
@@arunmoses2197 I'll be sure to let every sociology, psychologist and expert in all relevant field who says otherwise know of your opinion, random person on the internet. Your unsupported opinion is important for us.
@@ThumbSipper *Supported opinion Just because a guy says he is a girl does not change the solid fact that he is a guy. We wouldn't be arguing about this if what you say is true. You can say all you want that contradicts scientific fact, but it will all be your imagination
what if protoceratops was like a beaver? simularitys between the to: long widend tail strong jaws small hands and big feet differences: ones a reptile tail of protoceratops is widened upward
I like how people pronounce the G in Gif even though the creator of Gif says it's pronounced Jif but people still call Giganotosaurus Jiganotosaurus just because the creator pronounced it that way, AIN'T THAT FUNNY???
I love your channel, but I am a bit disappointed by your brief mockery of the idea of more than two genders, as well as the improper usage of gender in place of the word sex. As somebody who enjoys science, one would think you would be aware of the fact that sex refers to biological traits and gender refers to psychological traits.
@@Doomguyhunter1I'm sure there are people who believe Chased by Dinosaurs (2002) is entirely accurate but that doesn't make them right. The series is kinda based on scientific accuracy so its a little odd to criticize others on not following the science only to arbitrarily decide to ignore it
I've watched both this review and the sea monsters one, and I didn't know there were that many innacuracies. I grew up watching these in french, and I think they remade their estimations during the voiceover, because it's a bit more accurate in the late french dub.
@@maxrichards3881picking fun of the term “transphobe” when people hear “phobia” they generally think fear, but it has two definitions, one being a fear of something and the other being an aversion to something. transphobes have an aversion to trans people, so transphobia works. they’re replying to every comment pointing out the transphobia like this 🙄 just another transphobe whose ideals are dying and they’re going out with a bang.
We know that T-Rex was far bigger than the Giganotsaurus Afterall ironically. Some Rexes have been estimated to be 14-15 metres in length, plenty of barley complete fossils or bones or juveniles that didn’t point to max age point to T-Rex being 14-15 metres long and easily 10 tonnes.
Im gonna ask something pretty odd and possibly outdated here lol: Is there a way to get the Chased By series altogether on DVD or something? Usually I wouldn't ask someone like this but been looking for something like that for the past couple hours yet not having much luck finding any. Trying to find a set that includes both of these episodes and maybe the Sea Monsters special with. Closest thing I found was a repack yet it includes the Big Al doc for some reason. Again I apologize for asking about it here, just figured someone would know and could maybe help 😅 Tho will admit may not be the only Doc I ask about like this😅
you mention star wars, this is controversial asf but the prequels are vastly superior, not only in visual effects, but in over all story telling. while the OT is a basic heros journey. the PT is more devastating and the lines between good and evil are way more blurred, people did care for the PT because of the politics. but i would argue thats the best thing to ever happen to star wars. OT isnt even close to the value and story the PT presents. plus the clone wars tv show exists
Also regarding dinosaur sizes we should consider all animals have every so often the really, really oversized accident child. Just take the world's largest crocodile on record for example. The low end average is 14ft, and around 900 ish pounds. The record setter that was in captivity was 20ft, 3 inches long. Weighing 2,370 pounds. Which by the numbers alone that makes it 45% longer, and 163% heavier. If we applied this same logic to an "averaged size" dinosaur, they would very likely end up much more massive than anything we have on record so far.
@@jesusmejia79 I was using an average compared to an unaveragely large specimen in captivity. We all know Crocs grow bigger than 20ft. Salt Water Crocodiles do so quite frequently.
I enjoyed the video BUT Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus did live together at the same place and the same time. Mapusaurus lived their too and at the same time so maybe this two big predators rival together.
“Should I give planet dinosaur the A now, or do you really want to wait months for that review to come out?” After watching planet dinosaur myself, I’m more than a little upset that Red Raptor thought this acceptable for even a second, given what PD did to Rugops & Nanuqsaurus.
I know that Red Raptor eventually gave Planet Dinosaur a B, but still, it’s jarring to see how rosy he was regarding a documentary with so many flaws. It’s especially upsetting for me, because I love PD’s narrator, the late John Hurt, and the producers made him say so many stupid things. He must’ve seen clips of New Giants, and NOTHING ELSE before his review.
The thing with time travel to the mesozoic is that you will have really really large and unpredictable affects on the present by doing *ANYTHING.* Whatever you do will quickly blur out to affect the whole world and then a hundred million years of compound interest will get applied to that change. My own experiments suggest that making seemingly unimportant single pixel changes to an inactive part of a cellular automaton with a population of messy replicators in it can completely change the world in a surprisingly short time, and I have no reason to think the real world would behave any less chaotically. The intuitive idea that changes have on average proportionally strong influences on the distant future is entirely wrong. In a chaotic system, small changes and up creating extremely large and unpredictable alterations to the future state of that system. Kill one organism and the species dies a thousand generations sooner. Kill two and it lives five thousand generations longer and migrates to another continent.
I'm sad that there wasn't a scene where a raptor sticks its head inside the tent and says "Nigel".
I thought it was gonna say “SURPRISE MOTHERFU-
Naw should of happened on a plane lol
I know, it "would" have been way more accurate
“That idea is just the worst”
Nah a sarcosuchus or mosa would be better since their the raptors to nigel like they are to Alan.
This may not be the most accurate doc, but it is still fun to watch and I will keep watching it

Over here they’re still packaged together on the DVD, but on Netflix they’re listed separately which is kinda weird.
On my dvd bundle it's called Chased by Dinosaurs, but it's split up into episodes called what you're familiar with.
From what I remember from the long dead BBC website =
1) The presence of Pteranodon in Early Cretaceous South America was based on a large humerus assigned to Pteranodontidae from the Albian of Peru by Chris Bennett in 1989.

Don’t drop the fish the funniest shit I’ve ever heard
The excuse for no feathers is probably production/budgetary. Especially back then when CGI was still fairly new, it was immensely more difficult and expensive to animate feathers or fur than scales.
I remember reading that the people who made "The Future is Wild" made mammals and birds become extinct because they hated animating the fur/feathers.
While Giganotosaurus didn't hunt Argentinosaurus, it likely DID hunt Andesaurus.
Mapusaurus hunted Argentinosaurus
There's also a fragmentary titanosaur known from the same formation as Giganotosaurus that apparently got to the same size as Argentinosaurus.
Honestly, I think it may be a species of Argentinosaurus, since South American titanosaurs tend to be really oversplit.

Wait, he's Christian? That's weird, he talks pretty... not Christian.
Broski, I just found out about you and lemme tell you, you're gonna be my new favorite channel to watch, I got that feeling already, keep it up 👍
Thanks! That means a lot

Things you missed/got wrong:
The Saurolophus is actually very inaccurate, due to being just the "Anatotitan" from WWD with a stumpy crest, which was already just a head-swap of the Iguanodon, hence it has inaccurate proportions for a hadrosaur (such as the large front limbs with thumb claws), and here, it's even worse, because the head of Saurolophus was very different from that of an Edmontosaurus. In other words, it's a corner-cutting Frankenstein monster of an ornithopod.
Neither species of Sarcosuchus survived until 100 mya (vanishing at least 10 million years prior), and S. hartti was no giant, having a skull estimated at under a meter long (meaning it was roughly the size of a large living crocodilian). And the downsizing of S. imperator has nothing to do with us finding new, more complete remains, but rather because the original 40-foot estimates hinge on the notion that Sarcosuchus had proportions like a living crocodile, but since the former isn't a crocodilian but a more basal pholidosaur, researchers used different methods, like looking at the width of the skull, extrapolations of the femur and comparisons with other pholidosaurs such as Terminonaris, which all gave more conservative lengths of 30-32 feet.
We do have an idea of what Argentinosaurus would have looked like, as although it is known from fragmentary remains, some related lognkosaurian titanosaurs from Argentina like Patagotitan and Futalognkosaurus are known from more complete remains and support the more brachiosaur-esque depiction. Neither of these was known in 2001-2003, so WW based their Argentinosaurus on the smaller but more complete Saltasaurus, albeit somewhat exaggerating the latter's odd, chubby appearance.
Mononykus is grossly oversized,here being depicted as man-sized, when the actual animal was the size of a fox. It's actually one of the most glaringly oversized animals in the WW series.
Every dinosaur doc is fire
Sigilmassasaurus was a steriod spinosaurus, so it was most likely the longest.
with the joke about time travel at the end, the way I see it is that those kinds of things are self correcting, if you mess with the timeline, either a new timeline is born, or the timeline always went like that anyways
I appreciate your jp rant, dude the amount of paleontology accounts i've followed online that turned into jp fanboy accounts is just upsetting
Great video, I love this show and Sea Monsters too, I hope that one will be next
Just gonna say this, there’s a difference between gender and sex, sex sure there are 2 (3 if you count hermaphrodite) but the word gender has been redefined just like how some stuff in paleontology is redefined. But no hate intended
@@Doomguyhunter1 I’m Christian too XD
19:30 Don't touch anything? I'LL TOUCH WHAT EVER I FEEL LIKE!
Explanation for the Pteranodon hanging in Argentina: in the early 2000s, a Pteranodon like species was found in Brazil's Santana Formation which for years was assumed to be a Pteranodon when production happened. However, we now know this is the slightly related species Ludodactylus. This is confirmed by the Ornithocheirus (Tropeognathus was a contemporary of Ludodactylus)
Mad channel. Thanks mate.
keep up with this great content!
Thanks! I'll try my best!
Im not sure why... but I really wish I could see Red Raptor do a breakdown of Ark: Survival Evolved dino mistakes.
Damn a dinosaur video game with mythical creatures…IS WRONG ABOUT DINOSAURS?!!??! NOOOOOOOOO I COULDA NEVER GUESSED
Love the fish prison joke😂
Considering the fact they're similar size, I'm not sure why the Ark Giga is so much bigger then the Rex..still pretty badass though

14:38 just so you know, the scientific consensus is that, while there are two sexes, gender is a spectrum and not connected with biological sex. It's a social construct relating to behaviour and identity, not what type of genitalia you have.
So you're against males going into women's restrooms, locker rooms, and sports? Despite what they might believe or how they dress, since "scientific consensus" is that there are two sexes?
@@kabsageigj8941 yep, right on the money. Trans women are women and trans men are men, like I said, and to limit people's freedoms for something other people made up (gender norms and customs) is about as asinine as doing it for skin colour, wealth or social standing.
Unisex toilettes and locker rooms are already a thing, and there is no data indicating a higher percentage of sexual harassment or any of those boogyman conservatives like to bring up. Do you stop man or women to enter your home's bathroom based on gender? It's the same principle.
Sports are different since the men and women sports categories are based on sex, not gender. And the few trans women who where allowed to participate as their preferred gender never demonstrated any particular advantage, or even gotten much in the way of wins, look up statistic of the last few olimpics. I also love how nobody gives a damn about female sports, but as soon as trans people are involved you see an army of insecure boys crying about regulations. Almost as if the criticisms are out of bigotry instead of fairness, uh?
And "how they dress"? Clothing is the definition of a social construct and possibly the dumbest ever. Skirts have been used by men trough all of history until some dudes decided they where for women. So where heels, collant and frilly, puffy coats, just Google how the Romans, Persians, Greeks or even medieval nobles dressed.
Did you know that early in their history pants where considered women attire and the patriarchs in Rome actually opposed their implementation? And here you are pretending pants are a natural fenomenon 🤣. I'm just guessing, but I bet you don't mind women wearing pants, gilet, jackets, suits or any other "masculine" attire, I think a woman in a suit is hot as fuck, what makes you think men in dresses aren't?
In short, yes. Gender as a concept makes no sense and it differs between cultures, which makes it unenforceable in a fair, egalitarian society. Not that this has any relevance with the moronic claim in the video itself but hey, you asked.
Love you ❤️.
Even sex is not as cut and dry as "only 2". In mammals there is significant genetic deviation as well as physically observable deviation between 1&2%. For ancient species these numbers could be seriously different. Birds have ZZ or ZW but we still see birds that appear male on one side and female on the other.

Is no one going to talk about how the Giga picked up an Iguanodon sized dino in its jaws?
9:30 one day I believe teams will find a complete or almost complete Argentinasaurus specimen and we will have more facts.
what if protoceratops was like a beaver?
simularitys between the to:
long widend tail
strong jaws
small hands and big feet
differences:
ones a reptile

I like how people pronounce the G in Gif even though the creator of Gif says it's pronounced Jif but people still call Giganotosaurus Jiganotosaurus just because the creator pronounced it that way, AIN'T THAT FUNNY???

I love your channel, but I am a bit disappointed by your brief mockery of the idea of more than two genders, as well as the improper usage of gender in place of the word sex. As somebody who enjoys science, one would think you would be aware of the fact that sex refers to biological traits and gender refers to psychological traits.
Why are you talking about gender, when this is a video talking about a dinosaur documentary
Gender is a bs term invented by John Money. You are either a man or a woman, aside from the rare intersex genetic disorders.

This is one of my favorites of the walking with series I wish I could have this one on DVD
11:26 Pretty sure Ibraham most recently estimated that Spinosaurus weighed 8.3-10.9 tons, far outclassing the 8.9 ton Scotty
It's weight is rn unknown as i know
@@matejajanic6932 yeah lower estimates put it at 7.6 Tons,higher are 8-12
Confusing sex and gender in a series where you critique bad science is kind of a really bad look
@@Doomguyhunter1I'm sure there are people who believe Chased by Dinosaurs (2002) is entirely accurate but that doesn't make them right. The series is kinda based on scientific accuracy so its a little odd to criticize others on not following the science only to arbitrarily decide to ignore it
Oh it would be sooo funny if in The Gant Claw when he sleeps he dreams about a velociraptor saying "Nigel"🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video as always.
I enjoy your content, but was the slam against transgender people really necessary?
Yes it was
Stop being oversensitive.
@@wetube6513 I made your mom over sensitive
No, it wasn’t necessary at all. It didn’t add anything to the content, was irrelevant, and was blatantly inaccurate.
@@thisisbetterthanmyprevious6674 Thank you.
I've watched both this review and the sea monsters one, and I didn't know there were that many innacuracies. I grew up watching these in french, and I think they remade their estimations during the voiceover, because it's a bit more accurate in the late french dub.

Why the random casual transphobia? Very strange to see that in an otherwise informative video.

Clarify
@@maxrichards3881picking fun of the term “transphobe”
when people hear “phobia” they generally think fear, but it has two definitions, one being a fear of something and the other being an aversion to something. transphobes have an aversion to trans people, so transphobia works.
they’re replying to every comment pointing out the transphobia like this 🙄 just another transphobe whose ideals are dying and they’re going out with a bang.

We know that T-Rex was far bigger than the Giganotsaurus Afterall ironically. Some Rexes have been estimated to be 14-15 metres in length, plenty of barley complete fossils or bones or juveniles that didn’t point to max age point to T-Rex being 14-15 metres long and easily 10 tonnes.
Giga 13.5m
Rex 12m
Oversized rex
Therizinosaurus without feathers

This "Gigantosaurus" is Mapusaurus
Can we bring back the opening SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM?
Im gonna ask something pretty odd and possibly outdated here lol:
Is there a way to get the Chased By series altogether on DVD or something?
Usually I wouldn't ask someone like this but been looking for something like that for the past couple hours yet not having much luck finding any.
Trying to find a set that includes both of these episodes and maybe the Sea Monsters special with.
Closest thing I found was a repack yet it includes the Big Al doc for some reason.
Again I apologize for asking about it here, just figured someone would know and could maybe help 😅
Tho will admit may not be the only Doc I ask about like this😅
you mention star wars, this is controversial asf but the prequels are vastly superior, not only in visual effects, but in over all story telling. while the OT is a basic heros journey. the PT is more devastating and the lines between good and evil are way more blurred, people did care for the PT because of the politics. but i would argue thats the best thing to ever happen to star wars. OT isnt even close to the value and story the PT presents. plus the clone wars tv show exists
Also regarding dinosaur sizes we should consider all animals have every so often the really, really oversized accident child.
Just take the world's largest crocodile on record for example. The low end average is 14ft, and around 900 ish pounds.
The record setter that was in captivity was 20ft, 3 inches long. Weighing 2,370 pounds. Which by the numbers alone that makes it 45% longer, and 163% heavier.
If we applied this same logic to an "averaged size" dinosaur, they would very likely end up much more massive than anything we have on record so far.
Crocs grow bigger than 20 feet
@@jesusmejia79 I was using an average compared to an unaveragely large specimen in captivity.
We all know Crocs grow bigger than 20ft. Salt Water Crocodiles do so quite frequently.
I enjoyed the video BUT Giganotosaurus and Argentinosaurus did live together at the same place and the same time. Mapusaurus lived their too and at the same time so maybe this two big predators rival together.
“Should I give planet dinosaur the A now, or do you really want to wait months for that review to come out?”
After watching planet dinosaur myself, I’m more than a little upset that Red Raptor thought this acceptable for even a second, given what PD did to Rugops & Nanuqsaurus.
I know that Red Raptor eventually gave Planet Dinosaur a B, but still, it’s jarring to see how rosy he was regarding a documentary with so many flaws.
It’s especially upsetting for me, because I love PD’s narrator, the late John Hurt, and the producers made him say so many stupid things.
He must’ve seen clips of New Giants, and NOTHING ELSE before his review.
Deinosuchus is a genus of Tethysuchian Neosuchian.
Why the jumpscare!!!!!!????? it's flipping midnight, i did not need that in my wholesome dino video
The thing with time travel to the mesozoic is that you will have really really large and unpredictable affects on the present by doing *ANYTHING.* Whatever you do will quickly blur out to affect the whole world and then a hundred million years of compound interest will get applied to that change. My own experiments suggest that making seemingly unimportant single pixel changes to an inactive part of a cellular automaton with a population of messy replicators in it can completely change the world in a surprisingly short time, and I have no reason to think the real world would behave any less chaotically. The intuitive idea that changes have on average proportionally strong influences on the distant future is entirely wrong. In a chaotic system, small changes and up creating extremely large and unpredictable alterations to the future state of that system. Kill one organism and the species dies a thousand generations sooner. Kill two and it lives five thousand generations longer and migrates to another continent.
But whatever you do, DON'T STEP ON A BUTTERFLY!
"chased by dinosaurs is very similar to WWD" isn't Chased by Dinosaurs a WWD spinoff?
Yes, yes it is. That's why they recycle some of the models.
It’s actually still debatable according to Dr. Thomas car who is a tyrannosaur expert he calls it Tyrannosaurus battar
