Something about the CGI in this show that makes it more real than any of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films. It’s seriously photorealistic! Maybe it’s the less exaggerated movement and naturalistic lighting and environments. I really want to know what the CGI budget was for this.

blue whales?
Stormix Gaming
June 14, 2022 at 7:28 pm
Referring to the largest current land animals behaviour when speaking to the behaviour of titanosaurs or sauropods generally is far more accurate then providing a blue whale in comparison with regards to their general behaviour. The analogy may potentially be lacking but certainly not for the reason you provide. I certainly don’t see it as something to cause concern with regards to the credentials of the paleontologist in question.
Levi Van der veen
June 14, 2022 at 8:04 pm
Whales in general are peaceful, but ocean life and land life go by very different rules. He’s absolutely correct talking about how big land herbivores are absolutely terrifying and require very little (if any) provocation to turn your life into a living nightmare. Sauropods would probably be worse than anything else given the environmental pressures they lived under.
laserfan17
June 14, 2022 at 8:31 pm
You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, if you think that we can compare whales to sauropods just because of their sizes. Modern-day large terrestrial animals like Elephants, Giraffes or Hippos would be a far better analogues for them.

That dino that they said represented as a whale had still sharp teeth, which looks opposite of the CGI in the the fil…. I think it would have been better if they added the teeth to be more accurate for that bit. just something I noticed.
Basil Serpent

mosasaurus is not a dinosaur
Gourbi
June 14, 2022 at 10:05 pm
The teeth ARE there, you just wouldn’t see them because of the gums the animal likely possessed. Mosasaurs’ closest relatives are monitor lizards and snakes, both of which possess large teeth that are completely obscured by their gums, even when their mouths are fully open (with the exception of the fangs of venomous snakes). So the mosasaurs in the show are are accurate in that regard (though not in some others!).

There is no proof at all that Dinosaurs lived or existed. First of all, it must be it goes without saying that it is impossible to reconstruct an entire hypothetical old animal based upon a few teeth! Yet a lot more significantly, it doubts that a myriad of old reptile/bird as well as reptile/mammal transitional types needed for the progressing concept of advancement, would certainly be hypothesized then conveniently “found” by groups of evolutionist archeologists deliberately out wanting to find such fossils! And it is even more uncertain that such fossils have actually allegedly existed for countless years yet were never found by or understood to any type of civilization in the history of humankind up until evolutionism’s Masonic renaissance in the mid-19th century!

June 15, 2022 at 7:19 am
Well, depending on which film, in defense the old JP movie got less research material than we are now. So we can safely pardon them for imagining dino as big muscly grey/brown lizard with killing instinct turned on every second.
The Dragon's Territory
June 15, 2022 at 11:30 pm
Dear@Edwin Setiawan, I apologise. Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies of all time. You easily believe that the animals on the screen are actual animals. The animal behaviour is very well done in JP. Of course, I was referring to Jurassic World. JW is an ostentatious, boring, cliche bursting time waster.
If I may recommend, The Lost World – 2001 by BBC. A television film, done by people that worked on Walking With Dinosaurs. Personally, the most marvellous movie of all time!

But the movies are really the only thing that the general public would see of dinosaurs, other than museums or other media(which are outdated in some cases)
So, I believe being scientifically accurate when depicting extinct animals is fairly important, its incredibly lazy to rely on it being a movie or fiction

Would love to see more, I was recently looking at a theory that the T Rex had wings like an ostrich and feathers which is fascinating.
One of the coolest realisations lately is that there would have been earlier dinosaur fossils when the T-Rex was walking around.
Darkonyx6
June 19, 2022 at 9:10 pm
Huh… No it didn’t? First, adult Tyrannosaurs were indeed fully scaly, their arms were too small to support any sort of wing, and three, this theory was suggested to explain why some flightless small dinosaurs with wings, like Velociraptor and Ornithomimus had wings, Ostriches uses their wings to help them to do sharp turns, and a similar behaviour could have existed in those small winged and flightless dinosaurs.
Dxb Bred
June 19, 2022 at 9:43 pm
@Darkonyx6 I’m aware of the hypothesis, the keyword that I used was “theory” so unless your T-Rex buddy told you himself there’s no place for “no it didn’t” when no-one knows any of this for sure.
Bla, bla, bla
June 20, 2022 at 7:50 am
@Dxb Bred But paleontologist discovered a lot of tyrannosaurus skin impressions, so it is known that T.rex hadn’t a lots of feathers, but many scales. It could be, at most, covered with rare, tiny feathers (like in Prehistoric Planet)

I mean, most of Ark dinos are extremely inaccurate (which might be resolved in Ark II tho, atleast I hope). T.rex and other dinos don’t have lips, some of the dino proportions are way too big (like giga for example), the arm posture of the dinos are incorrect, Spino has a skull too large, etc.. So I agree that it would be quite fun since there’s many things to discuss.

For some dinosaurs, at least, we have impressions of skin and feathers, and as it turns out, the fossilization process has preserved the microscopic SHAPES of those things, which allow us to determine how light bounced off them. Look up Leonardo the mummy, Anchiornis, and Microraptor gui.

Wouldn´t the dinos in snowy areas need either fluffy feathers or a very thick layer of fat? Everything in cold areas is either very fluffy like polar foxes or very fat like walruses.
BTW swimming T-rex was predicted in the Jurassic park book by M. Crichton. I wonder if he made it up or if he saw that theory somewhere back than.

Lots of animals not adapted for swimming, can swim
Dogs, deer, humans, cats, etc. The idea that a dinosaur could swim isn’t a far fetched idea and Michael Crichton being the first or maybe one of the few to make the idea popular does not mean he predicted it

What makes you think they did not? There is nothing in the palaeontological record that suggests larger Dromeasaurs weren’t feathered, the largest Dromeasaur, Utahraptor, may not have direct evidence of feathers yet, but that does not mean it didn’t possess them. Also, the word velociraptor only refers to animals within the Velociraptor genus, which as of now includes two described species: Velociraptor mongoliensis and Velociraptor osmolskae, none of which are giant.
Vid Č
June 24, 2022 at 6:21 pm
no such thing as a giant velociraptor. big dromeosaurs on the other hand, that they have been. the biggest dinosaur we know was completly covered in feathers was yutyrannus which was larger than any dromeosaur found. due to that and the fact that a alot of dromeosaurs possesed feathers its more possible than not that dinosaurs like utahraptor possesed feathers as well
Comandobelo
June 25, 2022 at 9:32 am
@Vid Č logical way for you, we base our logic on current knowledge. Tbh I never really dig deep into it, just a few vids here and there claiming that the bigger fossil bones of raptors had no indication of feathers, but if you have deeper knowledge about it all, I am in no position to question it further.
Thanks for sharing
Vid Č
June 25, 2022 at 9:45 am
@Comandobelo feathers and skin are highly evolved scales. crocodile skin is used for protection and thermoregulation. bird feathers are used various different purposes as they live differently than crocodiles. feathers can be used for obviously flying, control body temperature, protecting against sun, moisture and wind, floating(water birds), bracing, they can also feel as the feather surrounds the nerves, hearing, making sounds, and many more. one of the most important features a lot of birds have is display feathers. this is an important topic when it comes to dinosaurs. we have obvious display structures like crests(dilophosaurus, cryolophosaurus, guanlong..) and we also have dinosaurs that were brightly colored(sinosauropteryx, Anchiornis, Caihong juji..). this brings up a question however, did dinosaurs posses any kind of display feathers or air sacks, stuff that we see in birds today. like i answered we know that they had crests, and that a lot of them were colorful. we know a lot of dinosaurs had air sacks which is why prehistoric planet showcases a dreadnoughtus with air sacks on the side of the neck. its speculation but a completly reasonable one when you lool at todays birds and what they do. a bit off topic here anyway yes feathers are not fragile as they may seem. sure crocodiles are deffinetly tougher but when you look at birds like cranes or storks or go further back to the times of terror birds it sure doesnt look like a downgrade to me. the key here is evolution. crocodile bodyplan works for their lifestyle, same cant be said about birds and dinosaurs because they didnt live the same way.
Vid Č
June 25, 2022 at 9:49 am
@Comandobelo no problem. of course our current knowledge will change in the future. it might change in ways we dont know but currently we are in the golden age of peontology and what we know is either for certain about a lot lf things or very close to the real thing.
John Fernandez
June 25, 2022 at 10:01 am
@Vid Č Theres a lot of phylogenetic evidence that suggests T-rex and the other bigger Tyrannosaurs can have feathers.
Dilong was a primitive Tyrannosaur and it had feathers, aswell as Yutyrannus, (which is as closely related to Trex as elephants are to mammoths) had feathers all through out their lives.
Vid Č
June 25, 2022 at 10:38 am
@John Fernandez thats what i said, but featherless is closer than feathered when it comes to big size tyrannosaurs but exatcly as i said yutyrannus challenges that idea, with the fact that we have trex skin impressions so if it was feathered it wouldnt be in those places. personally i think elephant like hair on top would make complete sense

We know t rex’s had feathers in some ppaces but not in other places. Outside of those small patches we arent as certain of plumage as something like raptors.

They also say they took some creative liberties/speculation when making them, and that necessarily isnt a bad thing either.
Gay Priest
June 26, 2022 at 3:28 pm
If you have the bones, you can do things like:
Where was it found?
What was the climate like there?
What would an animal need to do to survive in that climate?
Bones show muscle attachment points, which tell us where its muscles were and how strong they were
The brain case shows how large its brain was, and the general shape of the brain, this means we have a rough understanding of how they moved and what senses they prioritized
Combined with the climate and the other animals found in the same area, we can figure out what role it played in the food chain
Lastly, we can compare that role in the food chain to modern equivalents to guess how it behaved in life. We of course don’t know its behavior for sure, but we have a much better understanding then wild guesses

Giraffes are actually very dangerous, if they feel threatened their legs can serve as powerful weapons.
Many cetaceans are also not very safe, Orcas in particular.
Elephants are typically very calm, but can become aggressive during mating seasons, and elephants are really an exception, as most herbivorous megafauna are very territorial, such as rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses, the latter kills more people a year than lions do.

@Blue do you not realize that dinosaurs are closely related to reptiles? That includes theropods. Birds are just a descendent of one family of theropods. That wasn’t the point of the guy’s comment anyway.
Oh, also, by your logic I guess all the ancient mammals should only be compared to primates right? I mean they have as much in common with us as some of the dinosaurs have with birds…aka almost nil.
Then again, you still say T-Rex which has about 3 things minimum wrong with it so…

@Scott B Birds are direct descendants of Dinosaurs and thus should be compared to them, especially Theropods

People seem to be pretty positive about this show but I dunno, I thought it was terrible. The CGI didn’t look real at all. It was detailed, technically impressive but it definitely just looked like CGI. Walking with Dinosaurs was much more interesting, and funnily enough looked more real than this even with extremely dated computer graphics. The animations show their age but there’s something about the lighting and merging with the environment that made it look way more believable. They also used practical effects for closeups. That’s not to mention the weird new theories about courtship with the small blue arms. I’m sure ALL dinosaurs had feathers of some kind and its strange only some are depicted like that. I don’t think this documentary really develops what we already know and definitely doesn’t do it in a compelling, immersive way. What BBC did so well with their old documentaries was they told some sort of narrative where you became invested and emotionally attached to the dinosaur in focus. The dinosaurs were made both scary and magnificent through the music. If you haven’t seen the original Walking with Dinosaurs voiced by Kenneth Branagh you should check it out

@Renegade Carnotaurus did not have feathers, we know what the integument of the vast majority of its body was like, small tuberculate scales with scutes, it’s just a fact.
And Concavenator having quills isn’t really an idea anymore, the modern consensus is that the fossil had deformed in a way to make it appear it would have had quills on the forearms, but didn’t in life.

@Scott B Seeing as we know ornithischians has feathers, and that evidence is continuing to show that pycnofeathers of pterosaurs are likely homologous structures to the feathers of dinosaurs, it would appear that feathery filaments are ancestral to not only the dinosaurs, but all ornithodirans.
Scott B
July 5, 2022 at 11:00 pm
@Richard Blazer ornithischians are undetermined and there is debate whether they are even those types of structures on the two ornithischians that exhibit it.
As for pycnofibers, that is more concrete but still debated as well. The science hasn’t yet reached an accord on that. Although right now that is stronger than the ornithischian issue.
