- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2019
- In this video we will compare the real Mosasaurus to the larger than life Jurassic World rendition of the animal! The Mosasaurus was the mightiest ocean predator of it’s time, but how different is the real animal from Hollywood's take? Watch this animation to find out!

#Mosasaurus #JurassicWorld #NaturesCompendium
Hello everybody!
First off, I've finally linked all of my sources, including the test footage from Fallen Kingdom I used for scaling the Jurassic World Mosasaurus. However, be mindful that some sources I used may not be accessible to the public, and I'm happy to clarify anything on my discord server. I would like to thank you all for the support and overall positive reception of the first full scale animation for the channel! It really means the world to me and I'm excited ti make more animated videos going forward.
In terms of the subjects I would like to cover, and the reasoning behind the new channel name "Nature's Compendium," I would like to encompass a variety of subjects pertaining to the natural world and the history of life on earth. My main focus will be on the evolution of certain animals, marine biology, tropical rainforest ecology, and reconstructing lesser known prehistoric ecosystems like the Pisco formation.
While "How Scientifically Accurate" is not going to be a focal point of the channel, I will continue to produce them alongside the main animation projects I hope to create.
Lastly, while the general reception of this video has been very positive, I am still grateful and appreciative of all constructive criticism. One of the most frequently brought up points is how the audio balance with background music and sound effects was distracting and too loud in certain parts. I will be sure to address this in future videos and be more mindful when working on the SFX design.
Again thank you all for watching and I hope you look forward to the future of the channel!
The next animation video is going to be on Sperm Whales, so stay tuned! 🐳🐳🐳
good luck :)
Nature's Compendium Hey Calico (can we still call you that?), what JP animal do you plan on examining next?
@@manospondylus4896 The next animal I plan on doing is Pteranodon, although I hope to start that in the fall. Dinosaurs are animals I'ld like to start examining again closer to the release of JW3
Thanks for updating the source! Your contents are really of high quality. Keep up good works and your channel may blow up one day :)
Nature's Compendium It would be cool if you compared all three iterations of Pteranodon that have appeared in the JP films (the ones at the end of Lost World, the ones in JP3 and the ones in Jurassic World) to the real animal and see which one got closest.
The Mosasaurus in Jurassic World is twice as big as an IRL mosasaurus. My guess is that the reason the creators went with this feature was because if the Mosasaurus was accurately sized, it would not be able to drag the Indominus down into the aquarium.
Seriously there could have been Mosasaurus as big as the one in Jurassic Park. We just haven’t found a fossil. They were constantly evolving so that tells you everything.
you should see the one in fallen kingdom its basically Godzilla
@@robertlaidlaw4592 some estimates say that the jw mosa is 200 meter long and that is as long as the heisei godzilla
Almost all prehistoric creatures on Jurassic Park franchise are way bigger than they should be XD
@@EGvids1 Except there is almost absolutely no way in hell that they could be anywhere close to the size of a modern day blue whale
WatchMojo : hEY DiD yOU kNoW tHAt MoSASaurUs iSNt AcTUaLlY a DINosaUR?
Nature Compendium: *Spits literal, accurate, and actually significant facts that actually teaches the audience something useful*
Thank you for actually giving me knowledge I never knew about one of my favorite animals
Jurassic Park Fanboy lol
Memeology mature the fuck up
Creators Hub shut the heck up I was hoping that I would not run into yiu again after treys vid but i guess you like to ruin peoples life's more than i thought.
@@josiahb4483 what did he say?
@@josiahb4483 lol what
My heart sank when I saw the colossal mosasaur in Jurassic world. I knew a lot of kids would be disappointed when learning about the actual size of the animal.
Similarly to liopleurodon from Walking With Dinosaurs.
True, but at least JW wasn't presented as a documentary, so it's more forgivable in that regard.
Of course, that opening scene where Lio plucks the Eustreptospondylus from the edge is iconic, so... Give and take.
@@FlyingFocs Walking With Dinosaurs made a mistake estimating the size of the liopluerodon as new discoveries were still being made, by the time it aired....so despite it being not completely scientifically accurate, full of blunders here and there, it was still a good documentary for it's time
Wu said it best "nothing in Jurassic World is natural, and if their genetic code was pure then many of them would have looked very different"....so if the clones were pure, then maybe the size would have been accurate to the true depiction
@@FlyingFocs Lio had magic working to his advantage.
My disappointment is immeasurable
I have a theory that the Jurassic world scientists made the mosasaur bigger by editing its dna because they created indominus Rex to have new big things for people to gape at
Same
All of the animals in Jurassic World also were created with accelerated growth hormones so that they would be ready for exhibition faster, so perhaps the mosasaur's growth rate went far beyond what it was supposed to, thanks to the genetic amalgamation (or they gave it too many growth hormones to make it way bigger in order to impress guests, like you say).
@@PurpleLugia is it possible in real life aswell?
@@chocolate6315 no
That's basically their excuse for every inaccuracy, which is really well planned or an amazing accident
It honestly looks a lot like a whale mixed with a Komodo Dragon. Very interesting stuff
Convergent evolution can make a lot of interesting results.
@@wildsideofthings7733 . True.
What reptile do you think mosausurus' head looks most like?
Well, all mosasaurs including mosasaurus descended from two monitor lizard like ancestors. Mosasaurus was different from tylosaurus though in the sense it couldn't open its jaws as wide as tylosaurines and it was relatively more robust
@@jasonlau4423 in shape alligator head and in appearance and texture it looks like whale
Great video man! Love the animation style too!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it :)
@@NaturesCompendium you know you've improved if klayton forti likes it.
;)
OMG, KLAYTON!!!
Klayton Fioriti oh hey there
Good to see you here Klayton!
Oh, my! A new How Scientifically Accurate!
I've been waiting AGES for this.
Everybody gangsta until a scuba diver sees a “mosasaur fossil” and goes down to find an actual mosasaur
Mosasaur ganster until it eats a depth charge
I love everything about this video but the gator sounds are a bit distracting.
Aww really? I actually quite like the gator growls.
@@nicholashaan7345 I do too, but they're a tad too loud
@@smokecity6889 ohh i c...
Yeah, the crocs are too load compared to the narration, and the narration is somewhat muffled, making it a little strenious to listen to the speach.
Yeahh
I would've guessed it included asian water monitor lizard (Varanus Salvatop) DNA, rather that komodo dragon DNA. The colors are very similar, and it could've helped explain why the flippers are used to aid in propulsion.
No
@@duanebrock9991 Yes
I love how accurate this is. We need more of this.
Eyyyyy this series is back, finally!!!!
EDIT: love the Tierzoo Reference
Sean Dewar I know right
idk man, that was a little more than a reference. I hope he doesn't keep using a copy-pasted stat chart from TierZoo...
Time-stamp? I missed it.
@@The_Essential_Review 5:25
Me too
I've heard that for the Mosasaurus, the size would change depending on the shot.
yeah
That happens a lot of times in the franchise with various creatures. The T-rex during the chase in The Lost World changed size especially when it steps on Carter.
Awesome Mosasaur grunts
yo great video man. it must have taken you forever to edit. keep up the great work I love this video!!!
Thank you :D
@@NaturesCompendium I'm pretty sure that they replaced the frog DNA with bird DNA in the Jurassic world series
Hey, it's got a tail fluke, a little one. Glad to see this series back. Tell you what, it's oversized so it's inaccurate, but if you think about it, this is an animal was a theme park attraction. Id argue that making it huge is actually contextually more realistic and would not be be that difficult to accomplish genetically speaking. And who knows, may be a bit of shastasaurus DNA
Great video, and I appreciate how you were respectful of the Mosasaurus from JW, not just saying "It's inaccurate" like other youtubers.
@ꅏꑀꁲꈜꑀ꒒ you have to explain why tho
Mosasaurs most definitely had forked tongue. They were in the Claude of lizards toxicofera, which all have forked tongue, including even the iguanas. And considering Mosasaurs were very closely related to snakes, they definitely had tongue split at the end.
Insanely cool!
@@maxvt7258 I think you should check out prehistoric planet. So far it's the only mock documentary that actually shows this in video.
Really good video, I love how you highlight all the inaccuracies including the small details and the animation is really nice too, you deserve more subscribers ,your content is awesome!
PD: Would you do a video about the inaccuracies of the JP3 spino?
Jurassic World analysis videos won't be the focus of the animations for this channel, but spinosaurus is definitely an animal worth covering.
while I was really disappointed to discover how small the real thing was, any inaccuracies are explained by cloning (like how Rexy is still alive or how all the raptors look different) so they're excused. I love your DNA suggestions and I didn't know about the calls, that's cool!
Yeah, Rexy is extremely old for a T. Rex and she should have most likely been dead by now. But Ingen has "helped" on that
I think the JP rexy died and that Ingen made a new T.Rex for JW
@@Wyvern_Slayer It'd be quite hard to clone an exact model of a previous dinosaur. Especially if it had died
Small? How are 13 m and 8 tonnes small? Just how unreasonably high is your criteria for "big"?
@@daliborjovanovic510 Compared to the mosa. in the franchise it is extremely small. The franchised mosa. is more than 3 times the size of an accurate and real life mosa..
As much as I like your old scientifically accurate Jurassic World videos, this has to be the biggest improvement in the channel ever. Hats off to you, your video is not well done but expertly crafted. I indeed mean that. Mosasaurus is one of my favorite non-dinosaurs during the Mesozoic because of one of my favorite movies, Jurassic World. It's indeed nice to compare the JW Mosasaurus to the real one but what makes it better is the animation. It's indeed great and there's really good details in the video.
Hope you will continue your career m8! It's nice to see a return. I would like to support you on Patreon but I don't have an account yet. But hope life is goin great for you, chap!
and what make it better is the clear improvement in maturity head had.
you get what I mean?
Dam worth the wait love all the little details in the background and I have to say your mosasaur design is becoming quite an iconic look.
Yeah people. We might be a small country, but we first discovered the goddamn mosasaur.
Lets go Netherlands
Buuuu American Mosasaurus is much bigger
*GEKOLONISEERD*
sadly this also means that many many people will butcher dutch words and names
@@EGvids1 so what? They are the first
Was that a TierZoo reference that I see! Great vid
I am so happy to these videos again after so long. The animation and facts were superb and I'm excited to see where these go within the Jurassic series. Have a blessed day.
2:28 Prehistoric Kingdom easter egg
The best kind of Easter egg 😁
How don't you have much more sucribers becauss the work you put in this videos deserves hundreds suscribers by its own
The JW Mosasaurus does appear to be within the range of 60 to 70 feet in the first movie, it's just that in the sequel it inexplicably turned kaiju-size (likely due to lazy filmmaking not paying attention to continuity).
I think it is more closer to roughly 84 feet in length, which is still massive. Forced perspective on some scenes does change how we perceive objects.
ILM stated they made it larger than its fossil counterpart so it was big enough to take down the Indominus rex.
Jurassic World Admins - ' reality is often disappointing , but now reality can be whatever I want "
Awesome vid! The quality of the animation and the accuracy of the data is really nice. The Tier Zoo reference was also pretty cool.
Good And Really Accurate Video Keep It Up!!BTW This Is So Accurate It Should Be A Popular Documentary!
I'm here from the Ben G Thomas channel. Liked, Subbed, followed. Awesome video! Glad I'm here
5:27 totally reminds me of TierZoo!
You should totally make a series out of this. It was very well made with lots of effort put into it. You did a great job, keep up the great work
Dude,I'm more fascinated by the animation and art than the science, cause those animations and drawings are the coolest thing ever! Just the details on the animals are incredible for such a cartoony art style! Great job.
Thank you! I really appreciate that 😊
Welldone jack Amazing job on this beautiful peice each little animation on the animals is realistic and beautiful not to mention the accuracy and beauty of the art an all around gorgeous peice and it was definitely worth the time and patience put into it.
This was your best work yet, it’s clear by watching how hard you worked on it
I can’t wait to see your future work 😊
I,m moasasurus
I've only seen the still images of your work on discord. Now seeing them animated is just outstanding. This style of yours is incredible, and I can't wait to see what else you produce. Keep up the great work, my dude
Bro I can’t wait for more videos!!! You know so much and it’s on point it’s a channel I never knew I needed!
Oh my god. With the animation, details and accuracies, you deserve so many more views and subscribers!
This is so well produced! Well done 👍🏼
Woah dude. You are about to blow up. This was an amazing video! Thank you for all the hard work you guys
The art style, the content… it’s all amazing!
This is the first video I just saw from you and I’ve already subscribed!
Very good content!
lol the phrehistoric kingdom parking lot thank you
Great Job on this new video, it was worth the wait and it's good to see how you are improving.
Welcome back. Love the smooth animation
This video includes beautiful artwork and animations and is very informative! I hope to see more of that in the future! You definitly earned my subscription.
Good to see this channel again, and not only that but the scientifically accurate series.
I love TH-camrs that are scientific but are also making it fun with animation
Nice to see this series of videos again, and with Mosasaurus this time. I really love how designed the countershading on the creature, including the little marks between the top and bottom halves of the body.
Yes! Finally you did this again:) Nice work!
Very well made! Your art and animations are excellent!
This was worth the long wait!
This is a really great video! Beautiful animations, and very informative! Can’t wait to see more! ☺️
Outstanding graphics Fahim! Love your use of print screen patterns on the backgrounds.
I forgot this existed but I'm glad its back lol
Finally Been waiting for more of your content keep it up
These analyzes are evolving along a good narrative and explanatory path.
awesome video!
Execellent video dude!!! Keep the good work
This was a really good video! Seen a mosa fossil that was 10 metres at Cardiff natural history museum
Amazing video! I really missed them and I was upset you deleted the other ones. But I guess now I know why you did 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank's NC! It's been a long time I haven't been watching these.
Superb animation work, my dude! And I like how the video is structured too.
And to all the folks preparing to spam the "Jurassic World isn't mean to be accurate because they're not real dinosaurs" line, I will mention again that since they are using the real taxonomic names of the animals, they are not exempt from criticism. I'm not even touching on the fact that the "Genetically engineered" excuse is super vague and hand-wavy anyway.
Great video, looking forward to more content!
Your animations are amazing. Especially like the organic approach to texturing.
wow, you put a lot of work into this video, subscribed. cant wait for the next video!
This is why I subbed I am glad I stayed
This video was worth the wait.
Good video man, nice work !
Amazingly done. Keep up the good work!
Yes, it’s scientifically continued
My first thought when I saw it in fallen kingdom, was that they had used DNA from crocodile. That would also explain how it could survive so long without a steady supply of food, since crocodiles can hibernate or go dormant for longer periodes.
I love this video :D, nice work on it
This is an awesome video! So well researched but I like that you didn't take it too seriously.
I missed your videos, your teasers seemed interesting. Hope the new videos will be as good
Nothing to say but always amazing video with accuracy
I just found your channel and im just gonna say your editing is amazing and keep up the good work
Awesome video! Good animations and many facts
Like the new direction you’re going
This is fascinating! I am incredibly fond of the comic book feel combined with some science!
Such a fantastic vid! Obvious so much care and effort put into it
Thanks for the excellent content. Hoping to see more videos like this from you in the future! :)
This was pretty good!
Nice animation.
I love channels like these! Subbed!
This channel is so underrated! Thank you for all the information.
Of course, glad you enjoy my videos!
1:23 I think you meant toxicoferans, not "toxiferans"?
1:40 You misspelled Aigialosaurus.
5:26 What are the five stats?
8:06 You misspelled pseudo.
The lack of a forked tongue is another inaccuracy that could be considered major.
Great video and production value! You've come a long way since the first PK update vid and JWFK Carnotaurus video! Looking forward to what you have in store for the future! :)
Thank you! And I appreciate your remarks, as feedback and constructive criticism is always appreciated as I hope to keep getting better and better going forward
@@NaturesCompendium What are the five stats in the charts at 5:26?
In order: Power/Attack, Defense, Mobility, HP, Stealth.
@@osvaldocortes4598 Ah, I see it now. Thanks. No intelligence stat, @Nature's Compendium?
if i saw a mosasaurus in real life i would actually pass out and hope it eats me while i’m unconscious so i don’t notice..... wait.... when you die, would it be like... falling asleep forever? think about it.... you pass out before dying, you wouldn’t know you died, but you couldn’t know you died... what would your consciousness do
Missed the series, but the wait was definitely worth it. Your animations were amazing and flowed nicely followed by researched facts which never fail to teach me something new. Can't wait to hopefully see more scientifically accurate with this style, it may be a bit too early, but have you considered also analysing prehistoric depictions in other films/shows/documentaries, such as walking with dinosaurs' allosaurus.
I'm more interested in making animations that explore prehistoric habitats like the maastricht formation as well as the pisco formation.
Awesome video! You really did a good job
Real life, fantasy movie, either way I'm glad they're long gone.
Welcome back it’s been an eternity I know you changed your name to nature’s compendium but I wanna call you calico as nick name
That's fine by me
Great video bro! I love this series
really enjoyed this video! awesome art too
That stat-chart gives me some really TierZoo vibes 10/10
SERIES IS BACK!
And why your previous videos are private (like about Tyrannosaurus meat link to which is in the end of this video)?
This animation marks the beginning of a new direction I want to go with the channel
@@NaturesCompendium You declared "New direction" of channel several times.
Super cool and interesting video and animation style! Can't wait to see more!
Thats one good first video man!
Keep it up you got a new sub!
