When you realize that we really don't know much about these wonderful animals, these illustrations really bring these extinct dinosaurs to life.
jeger nihighsa Actually we know the coloration of sinosauropteryx not sinorithosaurus.
Don't forget Anchiornis, who's colors were kinda like a woodpecker!
@@vulturemeat1974 but we can't completely determine color bcause within species there are also variations. There are different colors of macaws and different colors of mice. So just because one had black feathers didn't mean that they all did.
Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus Large color variation within species is unlikely with exceptions of color changing as an individual matures or sexual dimorphism. Color variation in macaws is due to them all being different species/hybrids rather than all the different color variations coming from a single species. Macaw is just a name for all of those different species who are closely related. With mice that’s due to human selective breeding or species variation again. Even with selective breeding you usually see the same 1-3 colors just in different patterns. That said microraptor as a genus has 3 species not sure which species they actually used to find the coloration but the other two would have different colors.
No, seriously no has no one seen Jurassic World or Jurassic Park. Not to mention the whole element of bringing back extinct diseases that could plague us
Update: Recent studies suggests capability of powered flight even from the ground and a crow-like iridescent plumage.
Microraptor is truly an amazing dinosaur..
@@aravdogra4192 science.sciencemag.org/content/335/6073/1215 for the one on colouration
If it was so smart, how come it's dead?
@@typingcat what do you mean?
@Jakjak birds allready evolved in the Jurassic, but Microraptor and Sinonithorsaurus are Cretasious. And due to me being not english in motherlanguage i'm pretty sure i misspelled one of the Periods
The idea its colours are for display is VERY questionable, BTW; it was based on the false assumption Microraptor was similar to corvids.
At the end when it was barely walking i was screaming at the microraptor saying CLIMB A TREE!
Animation Space I wonder if he escaped
@@fredyrodriguez8881 he did. I have the full series
But then it ended :(
I was really looking forward to what happened :(
@@purplegg9185 dunno if this is what you meant But-
!SPOILER WARNING!
(This is as best as I can remember)
The brown one chased the micro raptor,then a bigger carnivore(first 'version' of the t rex before the t rex existed) came and caught the brown one. It tried to catch the micro raptor too but micro escaped.
Then it cuts to the next dino species thing
looks more like falling with style
That's basically what gliding is.
@@CJCroen1393 no
...Okay?
...
Explanation...?
0k Sceptile wrong.
@LegoGuy87 No, I got the reference, I just felt like making that comment.
I remember when microraptors were discovered, I was probably around 9, and I still have the newspaper clipping in one of my dinosaur textbooks I got for my birthday several years prior... I'm a nerd and I enjoy it 😅
Amen friend!
I'm wondering how Sinornithosaurus managed to force Microraptor to the ground. With its superior adaptations shouldn't have Microraptor been able to glide further and lose less height than Sinornithosaurus?
Probably, but the point here was different. It was meant to happen.. so the advantages of each could be highlighted.
That wasn't in the script.
@@thehellyousay yeah, the Microraptor got a free coffee out of it. You have to remember, these videos are filmed with actor dinosaurs. The director yells cut as the BBC logo comes onscreen. There's usually a blurb somewhere that says no Dinos were harmed in the making of this production.
Sinornithosaurs manged to cut microraptor off by going above it and force it to the ground
Cretacic animals war far more interesting than modern animals.
I find all dinosaurs very cool
Lol
How am I posting this stuff!!!
yep
Na the micropachycephalosaurus isn't cool
Not if you ever met one.
With a cruel-looking curiosity and a dire turn in the already foreboding music, this portrayal of Sinornithosaurus comes across as an especially nasty villain (speaking strictly in terms of theater, of course).
If the Sino didn't have any trees round it, some humans may be able to outrun it. With their stride and if they're nimble enough.
👍👍
Its still unbelievable that the dinosaurs film reels survived for millions of years
The fossils of Microraptor are so well preserved they clearly reveal every detail of this anatomy with distinctive claws on its first toe this is a member of the Raptor family but these claws evolved for climbing rather than killing and at about less than meter long this was a dinosaur perfectly suited to live in the trees.
its cool😅😊
It's so freaking cool that dinosaurs were all around the earth but they all vary from each other in unique ways. It's so amazing wish I could go back in time and see these animals in person
I think I read somewhere that Sinornithosaurus had winglike feathers on its legs as well? That would have made for a hilarious chase, with both hunter and hunted awkwardly hopping and bouncing in pursuit 😂
The feathers of Sinornithosaurus were shorter so they didn't get in the way.
Actually, Microraptor's feathers were used not only for a flight, but for a show as well. They were mostly black and iridescent. Iridescent black feathers (like raven feathers) serve as a signaling mechanism, mostly used in courtship. Thus it would be awesome to know if there was a clear sexual dimorphism between males and females of Microraptor species. If there were, then it is quite evident that the robust black feathers were used not only for flight, but for signaling as well.
There is no evidence of sexual dimorphism in Microraptor right now, but future discoveries can tell us.
I was trying to find the nerd comment and woopy i stumbled on this, thanks for the lecture
The idea Microraptor’s iridescence was for display is questionable. It’s based on the incorrect assumption it was analogous to modern birds with that colour, which it wasn’t.
Wrong they vibrant colors
Pretty birds
1:51 for some reason I laughed when the lizard pulled out its little wings
Sinornithosaurus makes me think "prehistoric hawk".
Make that a prehistoric flying snake these guy's where venomous to boot. Alot more deadly than anyone once gave them credit.
adznz11 Actually, it's been proven that they weren't venomous.
As you can read here: www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/sinornithosaurus-probably-wasnt-venomous-after-all-75529149/?no-ist
Dammit!
adznz11 Well, everyone makes mistakes. Even scientists :)
i was actually hoping they werent venomous b/c i like microraptor and i dont want to change my favorite dinosaur to that ugly sinornithosaurus :) Well they are actually pretty cool looking but i do NOT like those leg feathers, you hear me???!

0:40 "I BELIEVE I CAN FLY..."
XD
The shot of the animal jumping off the branch and chasing after the Xinglong lizard 🦎 always has mesmerised me from a nine year old kid watching it in 2011 to now
This will never not be my favourite dinosaur of all time, these facts about dinosaurs always get me hyped and seeing illustrations of them always get me more intrigued. The animation is great!
The outdated thing here is that Microraptor has to climb trees to glide, paleontologists now suggested that it can takeoff from the ground
Did it just glide or did it full on fly? They always look like fliers to me.
@@catpoke9557 New research suggest that it might have been able to fly
@@dibershai6009 Awesome!
It did have the muscle for powered flight, that's your flying dinosaur right here
"4 winged dinosaur"
So, we not gonna talk about its tail? Ok.
Lol good point! Nice eye, you are correct. The tail did act like a fifth wing, I know as I study dinosaurs and birds.
Actually according to more recent reconstructions, _Microraptor_ more closely resembles a chubby pigeon with four wings rather than a typical toothy Dromaeosaurid with feathers. Additionally, upon microscopic analysis, the downy fibers and the rest of the soft tissue (excluding the calamus) indicates that _Microraptor_ had an iridescent dark-blue color. Though I had forgotten if this study dealt with both _Microraptor gui_ and _Microraptor zhaoianus_, or just one of the two mentioned species.
Kallico Here you go : www.earthmagazine.org/article/quoth-feathered-iridescent-microraptor-nevermore
Happy reading!
I have been wondering to my self what the purpose of the rear wings of M. gui. I have been thinking, did it use the feathers on rear limbs as perhaps like a tailplane? I could imagine so, helping change its pitch. Or maybe even like a rudder, assisting in sudden changes in direction. It could be similar for all four winged paravians.
Just wondering.
MightyDarkStar This looks like a job for my maniraptora expert friend, Malek Ellouz . Unless he's in school again....in which case, I'll oblige to answer the question for you......
Again, this is assuming he is in school and is unavailable for Q&A. He once told me that he likes it when I mention him on posts regarding _Maniraptora_ and _Paraves_.
Luigi Gaskell
Indeed I do, Luigi. As for the answer to your question, I have copied and pasted an excerpt from my own essay regarding _Archaeopteryx_ and _Microraptor_. As a note, none of these are definitive, but according to many modern Paleontologists they are likely.
"The utilization of _A. lithographica_’s tail could be the last of caudal type of gliding. The tail feathers on Archaeopteryx lithographica and _Microraptor gui_ are analogous to the rudders of ships and boats. They help pilot and manipulate horizontal movement while flying, as well as providing stability as they depart and land. By twisting its tail, the paraves can change the x-axis value of direction when still occupied with mercurial activity. When gradually plodding to adjunct to the trunk, the caudal appendage can skew itself downwards on the y-axis, increasing drag to decrease the bird’s velocity and thus allowing it to debark. The tail consists of vanes of interlocked feathers attached to a centralized shaft; the physiology of the feathered tail was essentially designed to thrust against the air, maximizing pressured force, and when coupled with an aerodynamic morphology, generates mediocre lift. However, the only issue with this theory is if _A. lithographica_ and _M. gui_ possessed a tail that was able to produce satisfactory lift. If this is the case, the iridescent blue-black corvid sheen that predominantly the _M. gui_ specimen BMNHC PH881 occupied could have been utilized for display, as the tail plumage is vastly segregated (individually) to induce lift. In modern avians, tails can serve for alternate intents. _Picidae_ utilize their immalleable, moderately extensive tails in order to reinforce themselves to a tree. Considering the length and anatomical makeup of _Archaeopteryx lithographica_’s and _Microraptor gui_’s elongated caudal vertebra, of which overcast a commodious surface area, they might have deployed the flexible appendage as a fastening modus operandus."
Also, I somewhat imagine the more medium sized dromaeosaur genera such as Deinonychus and Velociraptor to be more likened to hawks or eagle. Look at this marvellous painting I found on devient art of Deinonychus s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/73/f8/ad/73f8ad0785bc52011e5f2faf535d09d3.jpg. I imagine so that most similarly sized dromaeosaurids living the same way. Has the theory of V. mongoliensis being partially arboreal and nocturnal been proven?
John Hurt's narration is absolutely worth appreciating in this documentary!
they look so amazing
Microraptor is a great dinosaur that deserves to be in movies. Alan Grant would love to have one if they clone it.
Microraptor was originally supposed to appear in Jurassic World 3, but was replaced by Moros
Past:Microraptor vs Sinornythosaur
Present:Pigeon vs Peregrine falcon
they look awesome
Its crazy that today we have a very good evidence of what color a microraptor was.
Allways new things.
This series is absolutely insane...
+bububububak
What could be more suspenseful than a three-way chase?
"What should we put in the thumbnail for the microraptor episode?" "Oh duh that's easy a sinornithosaurus."
This is the closest we have for a show similar to walking with dinosaurs
I purchased the whole series just because of John Hurt's voice. 😊 Him and Sir David Attenborough, both are my favourite! 👌🏽
I didn't know Microraptors in the real world had the abilities of an Archaeopteryx, glad wildcard didn't add that it would be hellish
Microraptor: Microraptor (whose name means "small raptor") is an extinct genre of small teropode paravian dinosaur with four wings, lived in the lower Cretaceous, about 120 million years ago (Aptiano), of which innumerable specimens were found in Jiufotang Training, in Liaoning Province, China. The genus contains three species: the species M. zhaoianus, M. gui and M. hanqingi, although some scholars believe that the anatomical differences between them are only individual variations of the M. zhaoianus species. Cryptovolans, initially described as another four wings dinosaur, is generally considered to be synonymous with Microraptor. [1]
Like Archaeopteryx, well-preserved Microraptor fossils provide important fossil recordings on the evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs. The Microraptor had long pens that formed aerodynamic surfaces not only on the arms and tail but also on the legs. This led paleontologist Xu Xing (2003) to describe the first specimen that kept this feature as a "four-wings dinosaur" and speculate on how he could plan through all four flying arts. Subsequent studies have suggested that the Microraptor would be able to fly a beat.
The Microraptor was among the most abundant non-avian dinosaurs of its ecosystem and the genus is represented by more fossils than any other dromaeosa. With specimens of adult specimens ranging from 42 to 83 centimeters (1.38-2.72 feet) of length, for an estimated weight of up to 1 kg (2.2 lbs), the Microraptor is one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs known. [3] Holtz estimated the larger specimens at 90 inches (3.0 feet). [4] An even greater estimate, estimated by Benson et al. (2012) brings the Microraptor to a maximum length of 1.2 meters (3.9 feet). [5] Despite its modest size, Microraptor was among the first non-avian dinosaurs discovered with feathers and wings. Seven specimens of the species M. zhaoianus have been described in detail, and they have been able to find many details about the feathers of the animal. Unusual character among primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs, the Microraptor is one of the few bird precursors known for the long flying pens on the back limbs. The body of these animals was abundantly covered with feathers, with a small fan-shaped feather at the end of the tail (perhaps for greater stability during flight). Xu et al. (2003) also compared the longer feathers on Microraptor's head with those of Filipino Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi). The light and dark bands present on the fossilized pens of some specimens may indicate the pattern of colors the animal had alive [6] even though at least some individuals almost certainly had an iridescent black color. [7] Different anatomic characteristics found in Microraptor, such as a combination of non-serrated and partially serrated teeth and unusually long front bones, are shared with both the most primitive avian and the most primitive troodontids. The Microraptor is particularly similar to the primitive troonodin Sinovenator; in their 2002 description of two specimens of M. zhaoianus, Hwang et al. have noted that this is not particularly surprising since both Microraptor and Sinovenator are very primitive members of two closely related groups and both are close to the division of deinonychosauria between dromaeosaurids and troodontids. [6]. In March 2012, Quanguo Li's researcher his team were able to establish the exact color of the animal alive, based on the new BMNHC and PH881 samples. Analyzing fossil melanosomes (pigment cells) in fossils with the scanning electron microscope, researchers compared their arrangement with those of some modern birds. From the comparison it was established that the Microraptor possessed a black plumage of glossy color, a plumage that very much remembers that of the modern cochlea gracula, and indicating a certain iridescence. Although the researchers claim that the true function of iridescence is still unknown, it seems reasonable to conclude that the Microraptor uses its bright iridescent feathers as a form of communication or sexual recall, just like in modern birds with iridescent feathers. [7] 8]. The following cladogram shows the analysis of paleontologists Phil Senter, James I. Kirkland, Donald D. DeBlieux, Scott Madsen and Natalie Toth (2012) on microraptor phylogeny: [9]
I NEED THAT SOUNDTRACK
red guy goes after blue guy. called it.
road IM A FIRING MA LAZAH
Dint know Dinosaurs were racist
@@Scazoid no, it's just Team Fortress but with Dinosaurs
microraptor: I don't wanna get eaten I must get up there. sinornithosaurus: too late you're not gonna make you will soon be my lunch
Microraptor was pretty dumb here. It got on the ground even though it knew it'd be at a disadvantage. then after it landed it turned around and WAITED for the other guy to land and start chasing it again.
The transitional bird that flew like an x-wing from star wars- and apparently more recent findings suggest it really *could* flap its front wings to generate thrust, just not fast enough for a ground takeoff as opposed to a tree one. The Jurassic was truly a spectacular time for evolution, perhaps second only to the Cambrian.
True.
And these days we have a very good idea of what Microraptor looked like.
...
microraptor was in the cretaceous though
Pterosaurs are the first vertebrates that developed powered flight
Rest in peace, Micro-raptor.
6 wings
All I can say about the Dino fight here is
-WorldStar!!! WorldStar!!!!
Gliding dinosaurs...and there are still people in the world who refuse to believe Birds aren't their clear descendants.
2:00 GET READY FOR THE ROASTER FIGHT 😂
He's such a good climber
So this is where batman got his inspiration for gliding !!!
The way he runs at the end, looks and feels like when I'm dreaming
Dinosaurs look pretty cool ngl
LIZARD WAS LIKE: THATS ALL YOU'v GOT
I miss hearing the voice of John hurt 😢
He has played many things... all of which he has done brilliantly!
I’m surprised this got so much backlash from people saying it’s inaccurate. This was made in 2013 of course there’s going to be inaccuracies.
I thought raptors just had Wings to stay warm lol😂
I love the chase at the beginning 💯
So if sinornithasuarus had four wings similar to microrapters,then sinornithasuarus would have the same walking problems as microraptor.
My goodness we used to represent dinosaurs as such ugly things...
So,Your telling me
Both Sinornithosaurus AND Microraptor were small,Ancient,And flying T-Posers?
Pretty much.
Microraptor is now considered an actual flyer, not just a glider
When u see a dinosaur looking like bird flying towards u : OH MY GOSH !!!!!!! ITS THE MICRO RAPTER
I want one as a pet.
IskenThink me too
Who do you think would win microraptor vs sinornithosaurus
BLEH BLEH BLEH! Just cut it off where you did. That's just great. What happened to him? Did he get away? Did he get eaten? Grr!
do you want the spoiler?
Sure, spoil it for me
micro climbs up the tree and escapes
siornitho goes on hunting other dinos
I agree, but i GUESS it takes alot of work to make the animation so good.
You AGREE!I saw the whole episode,it happens
Which is possibly where gryphons came from, considering their similarity to protoceratopsians, and that descriptions of them seem to have entered Greek mythology at a similar time to when those Greeks came into contact with the Scythians, who came from an area known to contain many exposed protoceratops fossils (until they were excavated, that is).
Some stories of gryphons apparenly describe a similar habitat to "Scythia", also.
Bro really equipped an elytra
POOR MICRO.
I watched the full episode, Microraptor got away.
@@tyrantisproductions3619 where did you watch the full episode? i really wanted to see that if mircroraptor survived
Isn't it fascinating that in 20 years the thought of having dinosaurs be these featherless lizards just gets turned upside down?
IKR, apparently microraptor was not technically one of those early, Archaeopteryx-like “true birds” with teeth and hands. Apparently it was
more closely related to the velociraptor, which a fairly well-researched (for the scientific knowledge of its time) dinosaur movie made just 30 years ago portrayed as a scaly lizard the size of a car when in reality it was the size of a peacock, had feathers and would have no interest in trying to eat people, cows or giant frankendinos unless it was really hungry.
Which begs the question: What constitutes being an old-school bird or just a non-avian dinosaur?
True.
Nature and evolution is so amazing.
@@badpiggies988 this is actually a gigantic debate at the moment. With scientists arguing wether microraptoriformes are their own group more closely related to birds or a subgroup of dromeosaurs
3:46 me escaping from my brother chasing me but he's on skates
🤣
Finally!
Microraptor is awesome
3:19 mew mew mew mew mew mew mew
These things are so annoying in Ark
The Microraptor can fly.
The microrapter is the one being hunted but why are my anxiety levels going up 💀
1. microraptor was black & iridescent, not sure if they knew that at this time though
2. why is microraptor not totally feathered? most/all raptors were completely feathered
nuni from trey the explainer or no?
nuni 1. This was made in 2013 so they might not have had the color research yet I think that was pretty recent.
2. Not sure but maybe they didn't find all it's feathers or just make a mistake on the model.
nuni it does have full feathers just shorter on the body
@Dino Flash- This was made a bit before 2013.
@nuni- It is completely feathered, and its feathered positions are accurate. Only thing that isn't accurate in terms of feather location is that microraptor didn't have a crest.
Of curiosity, how do paleontogists now wich is his feather color
Somehow with the wrong colours, the Microraptor looks more like a Changyuraptor when you look at it.
What wonders!

This documentary was my introduction to China 🇨🇳 and how cool the country is
Its pretty silly...
They wouldn't really hunt eachother it would be like cannibalism
spino jw Animator 1 You mean like how large birds of prey hunt smaller birds? Or how Orcas hunt dolphins and other whales? Yeah, pretty silly.
It’s not cannibalism, as these two dinosaurs are not the same species
WHIS IDEA WAS RHE CLIFFHANGER? I MEAN I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE BUT REALLY, A CLIFFHANGER.
I'm just saying, if people made time travel real and introduced microraptors into modern North America and Asia (depending on a habitat), would they become invasive species?
Biologically speaking, they were pretty much just birds with teeth, hands and long tails, so it'd probably just be a matter of how well they can compete with their modern cousins. I'd personally love to have one as a pet :3
Dylan Hooton most likely not, many things can make it go extinct again:
Suffocation from the extra oxygen on earth (more oxygen than needed is also bad)
Just dying from the competition, the world has changed a lot since then, it would have a problem against modern birds and mammals which unlike then, instead of only being prey, some are competitors and predators.
I could see it be killed by many animals, some like the crow can be in a situation where it mistakes it for prey.
It would have to worry from many things while nesting that it didn't have to originally.
Time has passed, the things needed for survival have changed.
If I every see that thing flying at me I would faint
Great vid
Watching this after watching a clip from Walking With Dinosaurs (1999) makes me feel bad for the future of animation, doc production and just Humanity in general....
That design is... Y I K E S

the suspense is killing me!
3:24 dude there’s literally a tree and a big root next to him he could’ve climbed that tree to keep the advantage up lol

brilliant microraptor
Microraptor is awesome'
Squirrels back then be like:
Subsequent studies some have shown that they may have been capable of powered flight
IT'S THE DRAGON BIRD thing
How about we call it "The X-wing bird" since it has four wings?
Luigi Gaskell even better
dragon rampage wel!
Microraptor has a little afro lol
Microraptor the flying dinosaur
The dinosaur is the perfect dinosaur for gliding in the sky.
