T Rex Fake, Ridiculs
How is it ridiculous exactly?
I've seen more ridiculous things, like the spelling here.
You can't say anything, Mr *"Ridiculs"* 🤣
Yeah, absolutely ridiculs
Indeed, it's "Ridiculs" 💀
I love how they picture T-rex as a intelligent and stealthy hunter. Its nice to see that Edmontosaurus wasn't just a 1 bite easy kill.
I honestly want a Edmontosaurus head explode, just to put into perspective the true bite force of a T-Rex
@@Ferike_ a head of an edmonto isn't built to withstand the enormous pounds per square inch of force applied by the bite of an adult trex, no matter if they are larger or equally massive.
@@aut0mat1c11 least braindead t rex fanboy?
@@Ferike_edmontos are bigger than T. rex
@@aut0mat1c11Edmonton head would not explode
Best Tyrannosaurus hunting scene in media by a HUGE margin. Really encapsulates the powerful yet stealthy nature of the more ambush-focused adults.
Exactly
It shows just how terrifyingly competent these large creatures really are.
@@AMNH-5027 isn't that the T-Rex pair from the freshwater episode? Or am I mistaken?
@@gogillus_godzillus6450 they both had male skulls.
@@gogillus_godzillus6450 If you look at the Prehistoric planet 2 soundtrack, the music used is called Tyrannosaurus brothers, so these two are not the same as the pair in Freshwater. But my headcannon is that the two brothers are two of the chicks in Coasts episode.
I love how the first bite, despite being on the back of the neck, doesn’t just instantly paralyze the Edmontosaurus. While yes, T-Rex had a ridiculously strong bite, I think people often forget that it was hunting very large and powerful herbivores.
Also, most predators with powerful piercing/gripping bites don’t use this to outright kill prey, but to latch onto prey so they can overpower it (which Tyrannosaurus was very much specialized for with its robust build as an adult).
@@bkjeong4302 Yes, like crocodiles, for example. They kill prey via drowning; the bite force is just to grab it and hold it under.
@@bkjeong4302this is exactly why I say Rexy's bite force ain't nerfed.
Right? It is easy to think of rex as being OP when you're only comparing it to extant animals, people really forget how equally OP the herbivores of the time were.
@@NathanielTavington
Another issue is that the predatory adaptations of non-tyrannosaurid large theropods are pretty much always ignored or misrepresented in paleomedia (and even in academia to a limited extent, in large part due to citing outdated research or poor understanding of extant analogues), resulting in tyrannosaurids appearing comparatively “superior” and OP in comparison.
I love how this scene demonstrates just how terrifyingly competent T.rex really are as predators, even at night. I also love it took 2 T.rex instead of 1 to take down something as big as themselves, despite the lack of physical body defenses. This is quite possibly the best depiction of T.rex hunting in media *EVER* .Thank you, Prehistoric Planet.
You don't think one t rex could hunt and kill an edmonto?
@@surgeonsergio6839 It could, but that would be a dangerous thing to do
@@athos9293 Every hunt is dangerous, that's what it means to be a predator!
It makes sense that the two would work together to take the Edmontosaurus down as it's easier and much safer. I have no doubt a lone Tyrannosaur could kill an Edmonoto, but it's far riskier and these are animals that think and can calculate risks.
@@surgeonsergio6839if you can cooperate why not?
Media: scientifically accurate Tyrannosaurus isn't scary!
Scientifically accurate Tyrannosaurus:
No media said that…?
It isn't scary at all, it's like a wolf, the only way you'd find it scary is if it was trying to eat you
@@DrKarmo You're telling me that the idea of 2 large 10-ton dinosaurs, each with a bite force capable of crushing bone, the eyesight of a hawk, and smell better then a bloodhound, being able to work together and strategize how to kill other prey isn't scary. Dude, that's pretty scary tbh.
@@kade-qt1zu the idea is scary but it doesn't look scary at all, a lion isn't scary, what it can do to you is
I mean the whole hunt wasn't really that scary
Loved how the Edmonto actually fought back and not just one bite and dead. Shows that it wasn’t easy prey, and t rexs bite wasn’t always a one shot
No? Edmonto became easy prey, didnt even managed to land a hit on the t-rex, lol
@@dariex0307 Uhh it was fending it off and kicking the T. rex while it was on the ground.
@@EdmundiumHitting yes It was but the edmonto didnt even managed to land the kick, even If he could, wouldnt make t-rex stop biting it because he didnt had the position for a good kick
@@dariex0307 I think what he meant was like, he really tried, and if it was a single rex, he could probably flee himself or atleast last longer (as we can clearly see that one bite from the first rex was nothing).
Jeg reagerte øyeblikkelig på at Edmonto ikke døde umiddelbart av et bitt i nakken. Jeg forventet at hode skulle falle av.
In many ways this is like the anti-jurassic park T.Rex. It's very withdrawn and doesn't make its presence known unless it wants you to. It's intelligent and has adaptations that counter its massive weight. A really cool T.Rex to see on screen. Like a Mark Witton picture brought to life.
Well,the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World T.rex did sneak up on its victims in several occasions.
@@伊斯塔與艾蕾修卡都是 In the book he's definitely sneakier. But you can still hear their footprints. Still an amazing T.Rex nevertheless.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo pero también los tiranosaurios rex de JP/JW sean mostrado como cazadores eficientes en los libros y películas. Pero esta escena no está nada mal, no obstante mi favorita sigue siendo la cacería de Tiranosaurio del documental en el tiempo de los dinosaurios aunque esta y la de dinosaur revolution no están nada mal. Especialmente cuando recuerdas que los estudios recientes demostraron que tenía la misma inteligencia de un primate avanzado.
I mean, prehistoric planet is pretty much All Yesterdays brougth to life and i love it
@@Leyva0scarVRL Oh my I never really thought of it that way but you're right. It's depicting dinosaurs as a lot more capable and versatile than the confined limitations we've previously placed them under.
I love how smart they’re depicted, apex predators don’t get their place by mindlessly rampaging. To have a successful hunt, they need a plan.
That’s so true, it’s kinder refreshing to see T rex in a more accurate depiction
Even a T-Rex has better planning abilities than Colin Trevorrow writing
Just when I thought T. Rex could not be more terrifying as a predator. It is chilling how something so big can be so stealthy especially at night. It could be right next to you and you wouldn't know it until it's too late.
"it could be any one of us!......"
And given how elephants can be shockingly stealthy if they want to be despite having zero specific adaptations for stealth, I’m pretty sure just about every large theropod would have been a lot stealthier than people imagine.
@@bkjeong4302 Forget theropods, a silent sauropod would be even worse
@@alejandroelluxray5298
Holy shit that would be awful to deal with IRL.
It's official. T.rex is the Drax of dinosaurs.
"[His] movement . . . is so slow . . . that it's imperceptible . . . "
PP Rex: *stealthily stalks prey with cushioned pads on its feet*
JP Rex: *can be heard stomping a quarter mile away*
Yeah what's wrong with rexy she's literally alerting the whole crowd
Well,in several occasions,the JP/JW T.rex did proved to be fully capable of making a surprise attack though,but the hunting scene in this particular episode is still phenomenal.
Someone forgot the parts in where it silently snuck up on the raptors and Mills.
Creo que alguien olvida que también los rexes de la saga JP se pueden acercar sigilosamente por ejemplo la muerte de Mills y la escena de los velociraptores
@@theinternetsightseer2935 The JP T-rex's stealthiness is completely inconsistent. Sometimes, if that makes the scene scarier, you can hear its footsteps approaching from a great distance. Sometimes, if that's scarier, it can sneak up on people completely out of the blue.
Ever since I realized how massive Edmontosaurus was, I really questioned how T-rex was able to hunt them at all. Glad my question was answered by Prehistoric Planet of all places.
Edit: Due to some replies with decent points, I think the problem stems from me seeing T-rex vs Edmontosaurus as similar to a T-rex vs T-rex, even though they're very different from each other.
It's barely bigger than a rex, why do you think it wouldn't have been able to hunt them when predators are known to kill animals many times their size?
Trex was build too hunt the most dangerous and armoured dinosaurs ever, sure it most likely fail it's hunts but nearly ever predator fails more than it has success
Bro they aren't that much bigger. Predators today can hunt animals up to 10x their size.
X rex Was a edmontosaurus with a 16-18 ton weight, that's why he questioned how it would hunt them. This was actually a average sized edmontosaurus herd, with each individual being 8-9 tons.
@@monke413 even then, it's definitely huntable
Love how they show that one bite wasn’t able to kill the Edmonto. People forget dinosaurs (like most animals) have flesh and muscle, it would need more than just one bite to take down an animal especially of that size
And you have to keep in mind that that was the MOST POWERFUL BITE any animal ever had, and the edmonto almost tank it like it was nothing, unfortunately (not for our T.rex) they were two so they used their weight and their strong bite to kill it, because it gets to be just one and that battle could have gone either way.
And large hadrosaurs are dangerous in their own way. They may not have obvious weaponry like trikes and ankies. But their size and speed made them far from defenseless, and a rex could get injured in a struggle.
@@Th0ughtf0rce The show implied that very well by mentioning how they needed to be careful and strategic to make a kill on an edmontosaurus! In all likelihood a single edmontosaurus would die in any fight against a T. rex, but they can cause some serious damage before they go down. Add the herd in and it could be disastrous.
Luckily they were smart and knew how to get around all these problems. A true clever girl moment.
actually WALKING WITH DINOSAURS portrayed it too as well
Exactly, and Adult T-Rex wouldn't have perfectly conical teeth either, so it would be even more difficult for them to get through the muscles in one bite.
This is one of the best depictions of T.rex hunting in Paleo-docs. It really exhibits how deadly T.rex is.
The part when David said T.rex could be quite stealthy despite its size,reminds me of “Extinction Event”,a spin-off novel of Primeval. In which the spin-off novel also described T.rex to be stealthy hunter despite its size.
I know some people compare this segment with JP/JW T.rex. However, I would say JP/JW T.rex,especially Rexy,are still capable of making a surprise attack/ambush. In the first JP movie,she made a surprise attack at a flock of Gallimimus and successfully killed a Gallimimus. In the climax,she sneaked up a raptor and killed it.
Rexy also made at least 2 surprise attacks in Fallen Kingdom. One of them was killing a Carnotaurus,the other was killing Eli Mills.
However,the segment in Prehistoric Planet felt more natural and less “Because the plot requires T.rex to ambush her victim.”
I also love the fact that they made Edmontosaurus being capable of resisting T.rex for a short period of time. This really shows “Why T.rex would need to evolve a ridiculously powerful biteforce,”because their preys are tough as hell.
Not to mention bulk compared to its relatives
All preys are tough, lmao. Especially the ones that are as big/bigger than the predator
I didn't think the segment in Prehistoric Planet was unnatural, ambush is an option virtually any predator would take.
@@aliakbarmaliki3156 Recordando que las Cebras podrían matar a un León si asestan la Patada correctamente.
T-Rexes habitat was called "Hell Creek" for a reason.
Probably the best depiction of a T-Rex hunt, with them being ambush hunters, and at night, which is absolutely Terrifying to even think about.
This is probably the best T.rex hunt ever featured in a documentary and one of the best scenes featuring Tyrannosaurus in general. The concept, the music, the narration, the CGI, everything is pretty much perfect. It also reminds me of Phil Tippett's Prehistoric Beast, where a Rex stalks and kills a Monoclonius at night.
Immediately thought of that too. This is almost like an homage.
OMG ITS BEAUTIFUL. Everything from the accurate designs, the hunt setup, atmosphere and camera angles used, and the attack itself. The Trex doesnt just one-shot the Edmonto and its a bit of a struggle, with the Rexes trying to body its prey and use its mass to push the Edmonto around. Everything about this is simply amazing
It's like we're really there, watching these magnificent creatures.
Actually endmo was pushing the rex around it lost when the second one came to help
I love this.
T.Rex was big, but it was just as capable of being stealthy as anything else. Sure, they weren't fast, but then again, they didn't need to be.
@@rodrigopinto6676 Or also ambush hunting
@@rodrigopinto6676agree they might be not fast but they can run at long distances
@@alejandroelluxray5298s shown in the video
The T.rex would have been worse if it was scientifically accurate in Jurassic Park
They were honestly fastest than the fastest human, even if not the fastest animal on the planet, so even if you wanted to, a human could not outrun a T-rex and you would be pretty much dead
I love how the edmontosaurus really tried to defend itself when the tyrannosaurs managed to grab it, I was slightly disappointed because I wanted to see at least edmontosaurus manage to hurt one of the rexes enough to break this stereotype of defenseless hadrosaurids, but overall this scene is really cool, 10/10

Good Thing, They have a T rex actually hunting something instead of just having a carcass beside it on screen, No more Jack Horner
Yeah, no more irredeemable monster to ruin the lifestyle of these fearsome yet stealthy beasts.
Checkmate Horner! T.REX HUNTS!
@@TheLazyFusspot_3428 some people think that s1 rex like that, despite the show just bring the other side of t-rex. Because t-rex are both, fearsome predator but actually still smart and capable
@@TheLazyFusspot_3428 Lol, I love that Jack Horner is the monster, not T. rex lol.
Pretty sure even Horner has long since given up on that. Even back then, I think that was just the contrarian in him wanting attention, I don't think he even truly believed it.
I like that the edmontosaur didn’t die with one bite, instead it managed to put up a fight for a while
Yeah agree
I loved this whole episode, I've enjoyed the series up until this point too don't get me wrong, but including season 1 this was the first episode to give me that true Walking With Dinosaurs feeling, I absolutely loved it l, the Baby Pterosaurs Vs the Crocs, Beelzebufo trying his hardest to get a mate and dealing with annoying sauropods, the Pachycephalosaurus battle and finally T-Rex hunting in all its glory, fantastic episode.
Wow... this was... brilliant... perfectly executed by our lovely T.rex brothers, using the high intelligence that their brains gave them, this might be the most perfect T.rex hunting recreation ever put on screen, man I love Prehistoric Planet!
Actually, they were a male and female mates pair. But none the less, this is indeed the best T. rex hunting recreation ever put on screen. Yep.
@@samneugebaur2064 No they were brothers, the soundtrack for this sequence is literally called "Tyrannosaurus Brothers" don't just go around assuming stuff xD

The only recent media that’s done the king of dinosaurs any justice
@2:34 can’t imagine the fear you’d have if you saw that staring you down from a distance. Really frightening something that big can be so quiet
As someone who grew up practicaly BREATHING dinosaur-related media, this is absolute perfection.
Prehistoric Planet 1 & 2 have been EVERYTHING I've wanted in a Dino Documentary, and this scene, this AMAZING scene, is the icing on the cake. Seeing my all-time favorite dinosaur depicted & portrayed as a stealthy, intelligent & brutal ambush hunter rather than a roaring, lumbering monster is so mind-blowing for me. I was hoping I'd get to see the tyrant lizard king hunt in season 2 and when it happened it did NOT disappoint. It just fascinates me how something THAT BIG can move so quietly and only make its presence known when it WANTS you to know somethings there, absolutely phenomenal.
Yeap a gift to Dinosaurs lovers unfortunately some still don't appreciated
Jack Horner’s probably having a meltdown about this scene lmaoooo
lol
Fr
Eeh.
Yeah, Jackie Horner is still an irredeemable monster, just like his version from puss in boots the last wish.
Among all dinosaur documentaries that I've watched, I think Prehistoric Planet has one of the best depictions of Tyrannosaurus Rex - both visually and behaviorally.
Trex irl: Silent, pads on their feet to not scare away prey
Trex in movies and games: MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE WITH EVERY STEP
t rex can reach 10 tons which means 5 tons weight per step
@@resul3447 African Bush Elephants can get about as heavy as a T. rex, yet they seem to be pretty quiet when walking due to their foot pads that act as both shock absorbers and sound dampeners.
@@jacobcox4565 Is the weight on 2 feet the same as the weight on 4 feet?
@@resul3447 would it matter? Less feet, smaller area to step, less twigs to snap.
@@jacobcox4565 I mean, trexes don't make a sound when they walk at normal speed, if they were, it would be impossible for them to hunt, but when they walk fast you would definitely feel their steps.
As a kid, T-Rex was always my favorite dinosaur. Now, it still is. While I prefer the retro looks of dinosaurs, I have to admit that Prehistoric Planet is amazing! The Rexes hunting is one of my favorite bits of dino media in recent years
someone who admires monster dinos *while still* respecting scientific dinos?
you lad, is amazing!!
Why thank you so much.
@@lanz228 A lot of people respect the scientific versions meanwhile admiring the monster dinos (including me), but a lot of other people instead throw hate at the monster dino designs instead. :(
@@GEAROFCOLLECTIVE me too
Isn't it always everyone's? Kidding. It's everyone's favorite dinosaur, and one of my number 1 favorites, too. And this could be our big chance to prove that T-rex and all other predatory dinosaurs were both diurnal "and" nocturnal.
I love how the rexes systematically pick a target and one proceeds to corral the target towards the ambusher. I got chills from watching this the first time
The way they portrayed the T. rex hunting was gorgeous, I like how they show intelligence with the rexes and the fact that it doesn’t take one bite to kill the edmontosaurus, sure T. rex has the most powerful bite but cmon The edmontosaurus was literally a large animal compared to the rex so….
@@rodrigopinto6676 thanks
I'm glad the Tyrannosaurus doesn't roar incoherently after killing its prey.
That and that they hunt in pairs to bring down a prey as big as they are.
It shows that trex are not like some overpowered hyped dino. The trex that managed to finally catch an edmontosaurus, was like "i caught this one quick, come and help me now !"
Yeah, you can see the single rex can’t hold onto it by itself. They only get the advantage when they double up.
@@andrewcrowley6331I like how the second trex first action was not to bite but to knock it over with it big head
I love how they proved that herbivores weren't easy bites that even if you're a predator the size of a Trex you have to avoid face-to-face confrontation
There's a terror in seeing something as big as a house being able move quietly.
Love the nudging to wake the other T-rex, and the rumbling noise they make.
Finally we get to see an on screen hunt for Rex
Glad to see accurate depiction of hunt and hadrosaur not being a one bite easy kill and indeed required two T rex to hunt one down. Actual animals that hunted by stealth and strategy instead of mindless roaring monsters.
I think the first one could’ve taken it down solo, but it definitely would’ve taken a much longer time. With two it was over much quicker, but still not instantaneous. I have a lot more respect for Edmontosaurus now! Still though, I would’ve loved to see if this strategy could work against Triceratops.
@@artloverivy the Edmonto was outrunning the first rex already tho, as Attenborough mentioned Edmonto was far faster than Rex so actually landing the bite would be very difficult
That and the Edmonto would be able to fight back against Rex to a degree
It could have solo'd it maybe but it would have been alot more difficult
@@mrbooje6502 I definitely think the Rex would eventually take down the Edmontosaurus in a solo fight, but that’s a good point about how it was outrunning the first one before the second showed up. Without the second Rex the first one wouldn’t have had the chance to get close enough.
I like how the Edmontosaurus fights back when it’s caught in the jaws and batters the rex head with its hooves and feet instead of just dying instantly and without a fight.
This is legit one of my favourite scenes in season 2! This is amazing!
love that there's no unnecessary roaring
this gotta be one of the best executed hunt sequences from any paleo documentary
Like 2 lions taking on a cape buffalo.
And then there's tiger that can singlehandedly take down massive Gaur bulls

@@kotarojujo2737 I do believe Rex is capable of taking down a trike. So he’s got all other predators beat 😎
@@kotarojujo2737 bro since when did that happen
i love that they made them hunt something huge because of how much we forget about edmontosaurus size compared to rex. also good to see an hadrosaur FINALLY at least trying to fight back and to protect himself instead of just running
How tf did I almost shed a tear out of the beauty of this scene?
It would be nice to see hadrosaurs and other underestimated prehistoric animals that could have defend themselves, at least properly, or actually successfully defend themselves against larger predators. Or just predators in general.
to be fair... this is one case where the ONE edmontosaurus didn't stand a fair chance (two against one after all)
Safety in numbers. That’s why predators target the weakest
It actually did kinda fight back, it was just 2 of them
Hadrosaurs have always been my favorite group of dinosaurs and I think the series has done a great job so far of showing they weren't just boring, walking buffets for tyrannosaurs but arguably the most successful group of non-avian dinosaurs packed with survival skills that are overlooked just because it isn't obvious armor. Even this Edmontosaurus didn't go down at first from a bite from the fully-grown jaws of the strongest land predator the planet has ever known.
Most Anklylosaur/Triceratops vs T-Rex fights are depicted to be gravely dangerous for the T-Rex, and if it gets the kill it almost always pay a heavy price.
Yes!!! We get to see edmontosaurus not being fodder!
1: you can see it’s almost bigger than the t rex here
2: the T rex pair need stealth to take it down
3: there are 2 rexs hunting it
4: it still doesn’t go down without a fight

I like how T.Rex isn't portrayed as being stupid anymore.
All T-Rexes from across the media aren't stupid, at all. Well, except for villainous one like Jack Palance, One-Eye and Sharptooth.
@@tonybusch8771 You misspelled T. rex. The "T" should have a period because it's an abbreviation of "Tyrannosaurus." The "rex" part should not be capitalized because it's a species name. OP also misspelled it, but only because they forgot to uncapitalize "rex."
In Jurassic Park, Rexy's footstep would alert anything miles away, though I like the special effects to display their immense intimidation whenever she's nearby, but this right here takes the gold for accuracy.
Oh wow, this is the best dinosaur hunting scene i ever saw, god damn its realistic yet amazing
Glad we finally get to see a T. rex hunt!
Yeah, a good ol' fashioned T-rex hunt. "And", at night.
This was maybe the coolest scene in the entire series. I love how they have portrayed the T-rex in this series. Powerful but not a monster or irrational. Very calculated predator
The moment in the show I've been waiting for.
You know that things get serious, when a 6 tons animal activates the "tippy toes" mode.
Elephants weigh up to 6 tons and they can be pretty quiet, T.Rex has half as many legs while being on average 4 tons heavier than an elephant at 8-10 metric tons so it needed that padding under the feet even more than the elephants do, both for health and stealth reasons.
Im glad they didn't over exaggerate the Rex's bite force as you can see it didn't instantly kill or cripple the edmontosaurus even when it got bitten on the neck .
Predators usually don't put all their strength into their bite, even when killing prey, because biting as hard as they can could hurt the jaw or break teeth.
Now that's what I call hunting.
They stay quiet and stalk their prey before attacking. Unlike the t-rex from jurassic park, their loud and they just run for the prey, In my opinion, but their both really cool.
They’re *
The JP T-Rex is a pursuit predator while this one is an ambush predator.
@@blameitondanny thanks for saying those words, for some reason I don't usually use those words.
Well, in Jurassic Park (1993), Rexy actually initiated two successful ambushes: against the Gallimimus, and the dromaeosaurs in the Visitor Center.
Completely silent until it was time to spring, and honestly, who cares. We’re comparing a movie blockbuster to the most up-to-date dinosaur documentary. Why don’t we compare it to Walking With Dinosaurs (oops, wait no one’s ready for that conversation) or that god-awful Monsters Resurrected?
@@Pastamist Accuracy-wise, JP’s T. rex is honestly way above the one in Walking with Dinosaurs. It holds up pretty well for a 90s movie monster.
Honestly I’ve always pictured a Rex as a night time hunter. Given their size and speed- the day time would make them more visible to alerting prey. Night time would be the best option as the prey will be sleeping resting or standing.
Lions are also night hunters too.
@@richardsorgo8600 yeah, but they’re not over 8 tons, they’re not bipedal, they’re not too clumbsy, they don’t have an appetite like a Rex, and they don’t hunt the same prey as Rex. Stop comparing modern mammals to ancient birds that makes no sense whatsoever. Those creatures and the world they lived was MUCH more different than what you see today.
@@Liksterr97 They were agreeing with you.
@@Liksterr97Jesus Christ someone got heated over nothing.
It's so cool to see my favorite dinosaurs hunting habits
This is what I've been waiting for the whole show.
this was a well executed plan, nice job tyrannosaurs.
i also like how a single bite isn't a 1 shot kill, but a 5-6 ton bite is 100% gonna break any bones where the bite is, and considering these guys hunted giant edmontosaurs but (from another clip by this same dude) a rex lost to 2 quetzals (which i love) is kinda weird but still cool.
A few things, there were two Rexes giving them a number's advantage against any one prey item they caught AND had the element of surprise. In the other clip with the dead Alamosaurus the Rex was only trying to secure it's kill as trying to fight the Quetz could result in loosing an eye, especially devasting for a Rex. It was also the Azhdarchids that outnumbered the Rex and outmaneuvered it, also those small pecks would hurt a lot.
@@adamtruong1759 true, especially in the back area (just got back to this video 💀)
I wanna watch this so bad dude… it looks so frickin good. I remember when I was a kid and watch walking with dinosaurs and that blew my mind and this makes me feel like that again.
10/10 LEGENDARY
I didn’t know they have the largest eyes of any dinosaurs. Plus the way they work together to bring down the edmontosaurus are similar to a pride of lions taking down a Cape buffalo.
Stealthy T rex. These guys were OP as heck
I can't believe I never thought of cushion feet!
@@nono9543 Elephants, about the same size as T. rex, also have cushion feet and can move very silently.
This is how you show the strength and mental focus of the Tyrant Lizard King
While also highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of their prey and the balance between them.
This scene is impressive, this really is something very new for viewers. It is terrifying to see no less than a couple of 2 Tyrannosaurus rex hunting at night and being very stealthy as if they were not creatures with a height of 4 meters, 13 meters long and 8 tons in weight, that ambush was perfect, the poor Edomntosaurus had no chance against those 2 super predatory moles, but even so he managed to defend himself seconds before he died, apparently he managed to hit a T-rex and made it move back a bit, although the other one immediately bit a vital point, while the T-rex that was hit, just ignore what happened and step on the prey with its paw just in case so it can't escape, it's brutal, this scene moved me more than many other scenes of the T-rex in movies or series, it's also good that they have shown the Edmontosaurus as a large herbivorous animal that a single T-rex could not easily take down, it is a very strong dinosaur compared to a Tyrannosaurus despite not having spikes or horns. I want to see episode 5 of the docu-series in which a T-rex is going to be bothered by 2 Quetzalcoatlus, although they are not a match for him, they may bother him to the point that someone gets hurt and there is a fight fast (but it is very likely that no one will attack directly, they will just be mutely intimidated).
I LOVE MY LIFE. THANK YOU BBC.
Can we agree that the hunting was smooth and not rushed like other dinosaurs hunting
YES. *THIS.* Just . . . everything about this.
When Season 2 was announced, we all knew that we were inevitably going to get a traditional theropod hunting scene, and it would undoubtedly be T.rex.
I cannot praise the makers enough for subverting virtually every aspect of the stereotypical dinosaur hunt - a solitary T.rex stalks close to an unwary dinosaur in broad daylight, then bursts from cover with a deafening roar, running down its target before viciously killing it in a shower of blood and gore and capping it off with a triumphant roar of declaration. That's entirely fictional. Real predators, like lions or wolves, don't do that. No predator does. Making any noise just makes prey harder to hunt or draws unwanted attention from other predators or scavengers.
Here, we have the complete opposite of that. The T.rex is hunting in a pair and is planning, communicating with one another with low, barely audible growls and infrasonic calls. True, one of them does the classic "burst from cover with a roar", but it's deliberate and not as theatrical as other documentaries might portray it; it's not trying to scare prey for the sake of being scary, it's a part of the plan that they made. The other T.rex attacks their target and its partner comes to help finish it off. And when all is said and done, there's no final roar, no display of dominance, nothing. It's not killing for the sake of sating their thirst for violence and blood, it's killing for survival. That's it.
All I can say is that I hope we get a Season 3 and that future documentaries take notes from Prehistoric Planet.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Tyrannosaurus Rex is undoubtedly one of the greatest land predators of all time!
Indeed. The King of the Dinosaurs. Both it and Velociraptor: The "SuperStars" of the Dinosaur World.
@@tonybusch8771 Exactly, T-Rex and velociraptor were both the pinnacle of predatory success! In fact when it comes to the most successful creatures to have ever lived dinosaurs in general are the gold standard if you ask me because no other species was as successful in so many ways and for so long as well. They were the biggest, the strongest, the fiercest you name it dinosaurs were it!
@@Wingedshadow96, Indeed. And Especially Rexy and Blue from the Jurassic Park/World Movies. The Best Movie Franchise Ever.
@@Dinoquaoar-ts6lj I agree however both species were still highly effective predators nonetheless
0:52 Honey wake up. We got to hunt
I know you
I thought this scene would be in the North America episode.. but I was surprised the T.rex hunt is in this episode.
Why
@@pierre-samuelroux9364 because the T. rex is very prominently featured in the North America episode's promotion.
Same here.
So Did I.
Those T Rex moving through the night time forest is truely the stuff of nightmares. Crazy they were real and probably did this.
I like how t rexes running style is fast speed walking
@@rodrigopinto6676, Yep.
Prehistoric Planet turns T-Rex from a giant monster into an organism that can actually survive in nature.
I love how after the first T. Rex woke up the second basiclly rolled over and was like 5 more minutes until waking up. :)
I’m not the only one that loves the T.rex waking his younger brother up, right?
Like Lion Brothers, T-Rex Brothers Live, Hunt, And Grow Up Together, And Even Take Care Of A Family Together.
Are they brothers? I thought it was a male-female pair.
@@jacobcox4565 According to the ost they are brothers.
@@devilman4018 I didn't know that.
I love that they use alligator bellows (or something similar) for T. rex her and not any obnoxious roar.
Also, the Edmontosaurus getting a kick in on one of the Rexes before it’s finished was pretty badass.
Overall, I really appreciate Prehistoric Planet’s commitment to depicting them as animals.
While I’m a bit disappointed that Edmontosaurus was used as T. Rex fodder again; this is probably the best T. Rex hunt in media, plus the Edmontosaurus was still able to put up something of a fight against 2 Rexes.
I agree that it kinda sucks that the edmonto just kinda got bodied but then again the t rexes used strategy and had the numbers advantage, probably would go differently in a 1 on 1
Could've been worse, they could show the Rexes running into the field full of Edmontosauruses and Triceratops in broad daylight and have them easily kill an Edmontosaurus.
At least in this scenario the outcome actually makes sense.
This was the most riveting rex hunt depiction I have ever scene. Everything about this was perfection!
The atmosphere of this scene delivers some serious "Phil Tippett's Prehistoric Beast" vibes! 😊
The idea of T. rex having quite footsteps makes it scarier in my opinion. Imagine camping in a forest, there's no rain, no loud thunder, and there's very faint animal and nature noises from the distance. You would only know that its maw was five steps away from you the moment you turned around.
This episode was amazing. This T.rex makes the jp ones look stupid😂
yeah rexy is very loud
those fat footstep can be heard from a mile away
JP is pure fantasy after all
@@ΠαναγιωτηςΑγγελ doesnt mean it has to be stupid after all. The third JW movie was meant to be entertaining as what film should do but if there is a series which is much more entertaining and educational at the same time than i would prefer this one indeed 🤷🏻♂️
@@iamleoooo Everything about Jurassic World Dominion is just simply awful. There are so many interesting ideas they could've used and they should've focused more on Dinosaurs acting like actual animals, but you know the rest.
old video of tyrannosaurus:- violent, mad, hungry
new video of tyrannosaurus:- calm, stealthy, smart and hungry
For some reason I'd never considered the Trex's overpowered eyesight and smell as being night hunting adaptations but it makes a lot of sense. Especially since science keeps insisting they couldn't sprint.
im in love with this depiction...tyrannosaurus is not shown only as solitary hunter and not really as a pack hunter either, its just a pair which could either be a male and female or two siblings that happened to stay together just like we sometimes see in lions where 2 male brothers stay together even in adulthood
then of course its the night setup...theropods and especially the largest ones were always depicted as day hunters only but this is an amazing turn of events and i do not see why it would not be possible for giant theropods to hunt during night too so its a very good choice
and its nice to see that the prey is not knocked out so easily, it struggled so much it was able to even escape the tyrannosaurus grip but of course it failed escaping as it's buddy was there and assisted by using its mass and pushing the edmontosaurus off it's feet and even then you can see the fight its trying to put with the legs kicking around and the tyrannosaurus trying to kill it these movements are very realistic
definitely one of my top favourite scenes in the documentary and my top favourite giant theropod hunting depiction
They're brothers. The soundtrack of this scene says so
@@themalcahtwinz4743 that's really cool, just like we sometimes see in modern predators like lions
@@firegator6853 its more like male cheetahs that would have males of related individuals making a group knows as a bachelor pack. its a good bit of speculation though, very nice
Indeed, because Lions and Tyrannosaurus rex have a lot in common.
@@firegator6853, And T-Rex Brothers and Lion Brothers are a lot alike.
T rexes were stealthy. Scary, imagine one sneaking up on you
Now this is what I call a scary scene the dark atmosphere the sounds of a T-Rex why can’t 65 be like this
Because its a fictional for entertainment purposes Hollywood product
Because Hollywood doesn't respect dinosaurs and only see them as dumb animals to use for money.
t-rex's bite forces are so strong once it bites your neck your pretty much cooked but a edmontosaurus can only withstand one bite of a rex in a neck
Knowing that the Tyrannosaurus rex could easily sneak up on you makes it much more frightening! You wouldn’t know it was there until it’s too late…
I don’t know what’s more scarier: Getting stalked by a swimming T. Rex in the water, or a pair of them stalking you at night?
Stalking pair for sure.
I adored this portrayal of the Rexes. When people *cough the cringe comment here cough cough* say scientifically accurate Tyrannosaurs aren't scary, this is the clip I would like to show them. I thought it was extremely eerie how something so big and intelligent can approach without being detected until it's too late. The shot composition felt a little like a horror movie setup and I loved that take on it. Major props.
Yeah the stalker t-rexes were a bit creepy, made the atmosphere a bit like a horror movie. I loved that. This depiction of stealth t-rex is very scary
It reminds of the opening cutscene in “Dino Crisis”, with the T. rex snatching that guy in the forest.
something I appreciate about this is how quiet the actual killing of the Edmontosaurus was. usually media likes to make the act of a carnivorous dinosaur killing an herbivorous dinosaur super dramatic with the creatures screaming bloody murder at each other. here, there's just a bit of grunting and hissing, expressing that it's a struggle without making a big deal out of it. it's not played up for theatrics, its not a huge dramatic scene. in reality, dinosaur hunting was probably a lot quieter than media portrays it. no doubt there were some cases where things got loud but I don't think it happened as often as we were led to believe
this is terrifying
I finally got to see these tyrannosaurs hunt in action it was very interesting to see them hunt and actually be predators hunting very fun and interesting
Seeing Jurassic park fans complain when trex doesn’t roar and announce its presence before attacking has been fun
Yeah it's too loud and making those Earthquake footsteps
It will literally alert it's prey and stronger herb
Watching this moment for the first time in 4K made me so fucking happy. I felt like a kid all over again.
This pair looks pretty similar to the one we saw mating in the first season with the old male and the younger female. The difference in the keratine crests and size difference tells me that at least there’s a male and a female
The soundtrack actually seems to confirm that these two are brothers
No unnecessary roar, capturing the greatest predator that ever lived
My biggest criticism of season 1 was that we never saw the T. rex hunting.
Needless to say, that criticism has been addressed lol
Finally some action for the Tyrannosaurus.
