The fossils that the ornithocheirus was based on are now re-named "tropeognathus". Ornithocheirus is a completely different animal while tropeognathus is also a completely different one. They are close relatives, however.
@@bkjeong4302 I saw the fossil when i was at the museum, 6 years ago, i think. He is not much bigger than the Tapejara, that was also at the museum. So, the " Ornitocheirus" is like a group of related species or is another species from other country that never came close to Brazil, diferently from the Troperognathus? Or is it like a hibrid of the two species? (Im Brazilian so sorry if my english is bad).
I was thinking of the same thing. Right after Nigel was flying with a flock of Pteranodons which searching for a herd of Argentinosaurus in a Pterosaurs eye view.
Imagine if the Hatzegopteryx gets introduced like this in Prehistoric Planet. Also, I like how he's basically a giant gannet in terms of ecology and behaviour, so a really grounded story. Also, just the music. This was my favourite episode as a kid cos it just felt so epic. Absolutely why he's one of my favourite pterosaurs.
Inaccuracies of this Tropeognathus: A) It did not had a wingspan of 12 meters. It was way more smaller than it is portrayed in the documentary. B) It's no longer a species of Ornithocheirus.
Well, I heard the 12 meter wingspan estimate was based on fragmenty remains of a large Tropeognathus, but those may've been affected by the museum fire in brazil since they are kept there.
Oh i have discovered something or did I? Well i heard people say that they said the ornitocheirus was the largest pterosaur because quetzalcoatlus wasnt discovered yet, but isn't the white pterosaur with black wing tips in the episode with the t-rex a quetzalcoatlus? Edit: Oh and quetzalcoatlus was discovered in 1971, way before this documentary came out.
Ornithocherius is a pterosaur which lived approximately 100 million years ago during the Middle Cretaceous Period. It was first discovered in the Cambridge Greensand in England during the 19th century. It had a crest that was not on top of its head, like other pterosaurs, but rather on the end of its beak.

Haha no this is in my recommendation because I've been watching people play as this Pterosaur in a game called Beasts Of Bermuda. The Tropeo was just recently added like a day or two ago or something. It's actually a kinda decent game for a small Dev team... But I do love Ark's representation of the Trope BOI.

really , close realitives
Sadly the exact fossil that inspired this episode burnt down with the National Museum of Brazil.
Prehistoric taxonomy is pretty wishy-washy, you forgot to mention the bigger issue with this depiction.........
So Ornithocheirus doesn't exist? I don't get it.

That introduction never fails to give me goosebumps
Same. What a beautiful, graceful, realistic feeling animal. His death was heartbreaking.
It’s the perfect introduction to a majestic animal.
He has the best theme from the series.
Felt bad for that Tropeognathus, at least he didn’t die like the Brachiosaurus from Fallen Kingdom
true,vary true
Okay first of all it’s ornithochierus not tropeognathus
Second the ornithochierus actually did die from old age LOL
@@caitlynpearl7480 read the pinned post... the species shown here now belongs to Tropeognathus
@@caitlynpearl7480 bruh
no
This pterosaur was also seen in Chased by Dinosaurs where Nigel was flying a a small plane and this thing flew next to him.
I was thinking of the same thing. Right after Nigel was flying with a flock of Pteranodons which searching for a herd of Argentinosaurus in a Pterosaurs eye view.
Yeah
Imagine how sad it must have been for the tropeognagthus, flying halfway around the world only to die of a combination of hunger and a heat stroke.
This big guy is what inspired my channel name. Big shame that the real Ornithocheirus wasn’t as big as it was shown.

Is Hatzegopterix or Quetzalcoatlus who appears in Prehistoric Planet ???

What people actually meant was that it was one of the biggest. However that's not true anymore.
Well I heard that in this documentary they said it was the biggest because quetzalcoatlus hadn't been discovered.
@@silbiabanuelos5166 Ornithocheirus was smaller.
I know.
Damn this was a sad episode
That pterosaur had the best soundtrack and story in the Walking with.

Ornithocheirus I think I remember that he was the biggest pterosaur in the Jurassic period
That was thought to be the case once, but not anymore. Also, it is from the early Cretaceous.
King Rexy so who was the biggest pterosaur in the Jurassic period?

im still going to call this ornithocheirus it's easier to prounonse

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Wait is it tropeognathus or ornithocheirus? Is this a sub species? Im so confused
Flying! Do
Its the biggest pterosaur
That wasn't a azhdarchid
He is from early Cretaceous unlike Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopterix who appears 70 and 66 millions of years ago .

Actually how long the wingspawn of ornithocherius is?
It was 6 Meters long
