Allosaurus’ eggs would likely fall prey to rats and crows. There’s a reason why ostriches are notoriously territorial.
as far as we know allosaurus lacked feathers at all like modern birds if it had any, so it couldn't make a nest and sit on it's eggs like a modern bird, more likely it buried it's eggs or built vegetation mounds like many modern reptiles and some birds, so it's eggs wouldn't necessarily be predated more heavily that modern reptiles, their eggs larger size might make them more of a target, but would also protect them from many smaller predators.
@@Sedimented.Studios good points, but many rodents have teeth specifically evolved to crack and eat eggs larger than their heads.
There eggs would probably be closer to the size of the rodent itself, but definitely theres no denying that there would be predation on their eggs, i just think it wouldn't be disproportionate to modern reptiles and as such wouldn't be too detrimental, allosaurus most definitely dealt with egg eaters back in it's day too
@@Sedimented.Studios since we are speaking about reproduction problems there is one quirk of large theropods that i never see mentioned when talking about scenarios like this that i think would be their Achilles heel. In most ecosystems in the fossil record where large theropods are present we see only small carnivores and big carnivores with no mid tier carnivores present. Thats because the large theropods young serve as the mid tier carnivores in those ecosystems. so here is the problem: In the modern day the niche of mid tier carnivore is already filled. not only that but the niche is mostly filled by highly intelligent pack predators! Any young theropod would probably get curb stomped as soon as they left their parents care.
@@Zavult Thats a gross generalization. In fact no midsize predators is more of an exception, mainly in the cretacioous north where tyrannosaurs evolved from nimble juvebniles to larger megacarnivores..
For example, for over 40 million years the general dynamic was carnosaurs being the biggest while ceratosaurs being mid size. Then in the south abelisaurs were mid size, ranging between 5-8m, while megaraptorans became the largest predators.Other mid size predator examples: convanenator, neovenator, utahraptor, moros, alioramus, allosaurus itself.
I'm drunk and I just wanna say you're doing all right my man. Allosaurus is my favourite dinosaur.
niiiiiiice
Grow tf up
Lol right on
😂
Mine too!!!
I gotta disagree on lions going extinct, they'd just shift to favor zebra and wildebeast. And I'm fairly sure a herd of cape buffalo would very quickly learn to mob and gore young allosaur to death as an instinct, like they do with lions already.
Allosaurus were theropoda so there was certainly parental care, maybe even from 2 parent. If buffaloes tried to gore then young massive parents would be there to kill them.
We also cant forget that allosaurus were egg layers, they laid many eggs so their gestation period was far more competitive than lions and other mammals. If a baby got killed theid have many more on the way.
@@66Traveler99 They don't hatch at 3 tons dude. And it's never going to get to 3 tons if it gets stomped into paste while it's only 200 lbs. Which is what *I* was saying.
@@trvth1s Doubtful the parents would keep a 10-pack of hatchlings once they were over a size limit. Ostriches would be good stand-ins for the behavior you're talking about. But a juvie pack is more likely than a multi-age adult/subadult/juvie mixed pack. Just in terms of what they would need to eat.
@@Stothehighest it's hard to say. Trex is the most studied extinct species ever, we know that they had a massive growth spurt until they got to about 2 tons in which point growth continues but slowly.
They were likely cared by 2 parents until at that age they were very fast and massive powerful predators so maybe parents abandoned them at that age since theid be self sufficient and filling a different niche from adults.
I'm sure allosaurus had a similar path. Oarents cared for young, fast growth until they were large enough to protect themselves and hunt.
@@trvth1s "Certainly"? We don't know if every theropod had parental care.
I'm afraid there is no doubt that if Allosaurus had made it to the modern day that it would have become a prime target for trophy hunters and poachers. Poachers may have killed it for depleting the supply of elephants with their valuable ivory. Not sure if Allosaurus teeth would have attained anything near the value of ivory.
That is a big definite but specifically those poachers who want something that can fight back as Elephants are certainly those who want zero smoke, though humans are humans who bring smoke for no reason.
Can you imagine trophy hunters going after Allosaurus before the invention of guns?
It would be like a real life Monster Hunter video game.
@@lildragon6415 If we hunted mamoths to extinction using spears, allosaurus would be no problem. Honestly big cats would be more dangerous because they're smaller, harder to hit, much better at ambushing and are more agile. Sticking a spear in a big 2 ton animal is much eaiser.
@@charlotte3201 The Maasai tribe in Africa hunts lions.
How do you think the atlas lion went into extinction?
@@lildragon6415 I didn't say hunting lions is impossible, I said they'd be more of a threat to humans than allosaurus.
I'd be interested if a spinosaurid could survive in todays habitats. I could see baryonyx surviving in the amazon, or suchomimus stalking the shallow waters of rivers.
would likely just run out of food like purrasaurus
Amazon basin, mekong river and Borneo have some truly huge freshwater species.
Some very similar of those that Baryonix could've eaten during it's time.
This U crim?
@@An-kw3ecnot enough large prey
@@user-ov3ou2ze3dmaybe a smaller spinosaur could survive?
One thing to note, is that poachers, which are common in the Savannah, would probably see Allosaurus as a new source of income, and start hunting them. Because they reproduce fairly quickly, this would not be as devastating to them as it is for other large animals. But it would still likely be one of their most common causes of death.
@@Niggass1255 Your suppose to, that's the whole point of them.
Imagine Allosaurus starts to recognize the poacher's scent and start to lay ambush on them.
@@assaulthetz even more reasons to kill them which would make them even more hunted
@@hoaxes8537
Not just that, These animals are unpredictable.
If a tourist would wander around to see, these theropods would immediately think that they're poachers.
Also, who knows, we do not know how smart these things are, but we do know that Dinosaurs, particularly Theropods are warm blooded.
Let that sink in, they might hunt not on the day, but always at night when the poachers are either resting or hunting the same time.
They're not like the Elephants that knew they have to run, not like the Rhinos that they would blindly attack.
These animals are just as capable as a hunter, well it depends on the terrain since they're massive by size.
They might choose a rocky, forest, tall grass anything that they can take cover.
Also they have a pack behavior, a very social one like Prides of Lions.
They might have an alpha that is smart enough to counter poachers or rather to counter the ones who hold rifles (but i might be stretching it), not to the extent that they would think like a human by mind, but expect something when they manage to survive a poaching event of their lives. And let them learn from that experience.
What we do know that they, as well could potentially more dangerous than poachers.
They would hunt not just the poaching teams but everyone, any humanoid shaped person, that is living and breathing.
Like how lions kill a cheetah cubs or like how Male bears kill a bear cub of from its fallen mate to have its female.
The entire Allosaurus would see us as their 'enemy' not rival, not prey, but something that they would eradicate for the safety of their chicks.
Well at least what i would think so, if they have a cognition similar to birds and other similar animals of behavior.
@@assaulthetz the thing is there not smarter than a human nothing atleast that we know about on this earth is smarter than a human if they pose an actual threat night or day ambush or not poeple will kill them doesn't matter if they are a poacher or not claws and teeth are not stronger than an gun them hunting in groups will not matter because guns exist the more realistic thing is instead of them "hunting humans" they'll more likely run away or hide.
The local humans would gun them down ruthlessly, Allosauruses would see them as too much of a threat to allow.
Keep in mind that juvenile allosaurus would need to reach adulthood in an environment where many other large and successful predators hunt in packs and their young get to freeload their way to adulthood. Allosaurus may have had parental care but this likely didn't include complete food provisioning and young would likely be hunting for themselves. Given they are slower than most other African predators, the risk of the young becoming prey is probably a serious concern.
The juveniles would be much faster than adults
it literally lived in an environment with tons of predators
and there's no tests on young allosaur speed so your assertion is baseless
They also had to deal with predators when they were alive. The allosaurus babies were fine. Most will die before adulthood, as is the case with modern predators.
but they young allosaurs would probably form packs or mobs
If Allosaurus was somehow brought into modern day. Whether or not it gets to continue to exist would be entirely up to us. As such a large predator that could roam anywhere and unlikely to be scared off as easily as most mammalian predators it would be gone within a month of discovery.
That is because of MAN, the worst thing on this earth, who kills indescribably whatsoever he wants to do, thus any poor Allosaurus would be a prime target for man to hunt and murder 😢
Allosaurus is definitely an interesting predator for the Savannah, it's a powerful animal while being more flexible than its megatherapod counterparts.
As for other dinosaurs to introduce, Tyrannosaurus for doesn't have the speed to outright catch most of the prey items in the Savannah, but it does seem to be more of an endurance hunter. It also has a lot of soft factors like large eyes and padded feet. Still, it wouldn't have had the concealment it had in the swampy Hell Creek formation.
Predators that intrests me more in this regard are carnivores like Ceratosaurus, Carnotaurous, Dilophosaurus, Azardarkids, or the moderate size Tyrannosaurs like Albertosaurus or Nanuqsaurus.
definitely, while everyone want to think about tyrannosaurus being introduced into the modern day, it probably wouldn't have enough prey, and even african elephants would stand little chance against it, so it would be a pretty simple dynamic
Disagree.
A T-Rex dumped in modern savannahs (with no human interferferance), would still die out pretty quickly.
Most smaller mamals would prey on and destroy T-Rex eggs and decimate any future generation.
Mamals, lizards, and birds would kill of the majority of and eggs, regardless of the number of eggs they lay.
Any young T-Rex would also be fair game for many of today's predators.
Pack animals would out number and kill any young offspring.
Very few would ever reach maturity.
And eventually would not be repopulate fast enough to sustain the species and would die of once again.
Also you underestimate Elephants.
Elephants are a lot smarter than dinosaurs, and 8f a female was attacked by a T-Rex or Allosaur the dominant male and younger males would charge it.
And as dinosaurs are massive they have a greater surface area to get hit.
An enraged Bull Elephants tusks can still puncture a dinosaurs hide.
And seeing as it would only need to be stabbed a few times to bleed out and die it would not kill as much as you think it would.
@@craiggibbons8228 I disagree with you completely.
1.Trex were theropoda, they likely took turns caring for eggs like modern birds that pair. Trex would also care for its young to some extent just like all archosaurs. Mammals wouldnt be given a chance to get the eggs. Ostrich lay eggs in Africa and plenty of mammal predators can outpower and kill their young, ostrich are ratites. Trex layed more eggs and no modern mammal would dare take its eggs, trex also had phenomenal eye sight and olfactory so no mammal could possibly sneak at night and take an egg. Also: trex cared for their young. Trex young also had a very fast growth spurt, by the time they were 2 tons in mass they were far deadlier than lions and just as agile, trex slowed down when they bulked later in life.
2. Elephants are small triceratops. Triceratops could reach a monstrous 13 tons in mass, they also had solid bone horns covered in keratin[ far more powerful than elephant tusk. Triceratops, with all of this astounding power and weaponry, still had to evolve a thick solid bone frill covered in keratin with sharpened edges in order to protect its neck from trex.
Elephants wouldnt stand a chance.
Triceratops were far bigger, far stronger than elephants and had far better biomechanical defenses, and they too were herd animals. If trex could handle triceratops [big target still] elephants would stand 0 chance.
Elephants evolved to deal with 300lbs predators like lions, not 12 ton super predatory theropoda.
@@trvth1sTriceratops probably wouldnt protect another triceratops, they would Just get away asap to avoid injury, but elephants actually do protect eachother, thanks to their superior intelligence, so the best choice for T.rex would be to ambush solitary bull, which would still be pretty dangerous since and elephant tusk would be able to pierce T.rex's hide.
@@trvth1sAlso the largest Triceratops was around 8.5 Tons, so the average triceratops would Weight around 6 Tons, not THAT big of a difference in weight
I'd love to see more videos about what would hypothetically happen if a prehistoric animal was in a modern day environment. Like what if Utahraptors lived in the forests of Northwestern U.S? What if Mosasaurus swam the waters of the Pacific? What if Hatzegopteryx soared through the skies of today?
the answer to all of them will be:
Humans kill all of them especially hatzegopteryx and utahraptor
Utaraptor would probably compete with bears and would likely destroy the moose population
@@Themountain6197 I don't think they'd compete with bears that much, since bears are omnivorous and can get by eating anything they want, while it's arguably more difficult for Utahraptor since they're obligate carnivores that need to hunt. Bears can also run much further than Utahraptor. Studies show Dromaeosaurs, despite their name, aren't that suited for running long distances. So Utahraptor would most likely be an ambush hunter, kinda like a big cat.
@@jacobcox4565only time they’ll clash is if they stumble across one another winter and baby’s utar eggs will probably be one of the best snacks for a bear or other animals
@@jacobcox4565 bears can't run, they do so in short bursts. A freaking theropod is gonna easily outrun a bear. The only valid point u got is that bears are omnivores. That still won't leave them out of a raptors bellies tho a bear wouldn't last long against a Utahraptors kick which can leave slashes 6 feet long and a foot wide at it's peak. A Utahraptor would literally gut a bear EASILY
The main problem for Dinosaurs in the modern age is that modern prey animals have adapted speed instead of size as main defense against predators.
Scavenging from other predators rely on them allowing it to happen as it's quite likely that modern predators will learn to move elsewhere if they smell an Allosaurus being in the area and that would leave it to rely on itself for hunting again leading to eventual starvation.
Taking on the larger and slower animals like Elephants and Rhinos comes with the real risk of injury making future hunts even harder, even if that fight is won.
I think the big land crocodilians would fare better as they don't need to eat as often so could both survive longer on scavenging and need to successfully hunt less often.
Pterosaurs being strategically mobile would also do well, even if the giant ones would suffer from us humans not liking things that puts us on the menu.
Ye theres a very big reason the most successful predators right now on land are canines and felids. They have speed and strength with very adapted ways of killing efficiently. Being big as a predator isn't really helpful anymore given theres nothing big enough for them to really take on easily.
Your comment is ignorant of ancient fauna.
There were always fast herbivores during the age of dinosaurs, that is not a new strategy. Gallalimimus, which lived along side Trex, could run over 65mph, and it was a theropoda so it could sustain that speed for far longer than any mammal in history thanks to its airsacs. Juvenile trex were extremely fast and explosive, they likely hunted these herbivores. Nocturnal predators like dakota raptor may have also hunted them.
Most theropoda were stamina hunters thanks to their airsacs, but the giants were built to go after other giants. Trex is the result of giant theropoda hunting giant prey for tens of millions of years, there is no mammal equivalent, mammalian herbivores would be no match as they never had to deal with predators bigger than 1 ton in most cases.
Hunting large prey was ALWAYS a risk, more so in the age of dinosaurs because the prey adapted not only size but armor and weaponry to deal with giant predators, like triceratops giant thick frill, giant horns, etc.
Also, egg thieve mammals and snakes existed in the age of dinosaurs. It almost sounds like you think only the big dinosaurs existed in the cretaceous, the small animals were there as well
@@trvth1s Gallimimus was not cheetah level fast, all the most recent data-driven studies put Gallimimus at 30-40 mph max, about as fast as a modern lion at top speed. Very fast for a non-avian dinosaur, but nowhere near 65 fucking miles an hour. You're still stuck in the 90s, your view of dinos is outdated.
@@suze2398 You're wrong. There is a recent peer reviewed study of La Rioja, Spain dinosaur tracks.
Speed estimates for the clade go as high as 80mph
@@trvth1s that study was highly dubious cause the method used was highly questionable and not trusted by most scientist, the same method was used on footprints on ancient human tracks in Australia dated to 20k years ago, it produced an estimated of 30 mph. Now do you really think a fucking aboriginal from tens of thousands of years ago can outrun Usain Bolt?
My favorite dinosaur was pretty good at coexisting with other theropods in the Jurassic, so I'm quite sure that leopards and hyenas might coexist with it quite well due to niche partitioning. Additionally, the size difference between lions and Allosaurus would be severe enough to consider their niches as separate ones, as lions could hunt smaller prey while Allosaurus would be limited to the largest animals.
Allosaurus would also practice kleptoparasitism, taking lion and hyena food at will.
I beleive an issue would also be large mammals sustaining enough healthy population numbers to support a super predatory theropoda.
Allosaurus hunted in a time where megafauna had a far more competitive gestation period than todays mammals.
Me: tonight i will go sleep early
Also me at 2:15am:
a good place to be
Lions would do fine in this scenario since they rarely or almost never hunt adult rhinos, hippos and elephants. A giant predator like allosaurus would just hunt the big guys of the African continent while lion will continue to hunt their usual prey added with the allosaurus bullying from time to time🤔
Honestly it would be a balanced echo system and adult elephants can finally have something to fear for other then humans finely 😂
Un Allo no le asé ni mierda a un elefante adulto.
Good point. Honestly, i believe rhinos would have the hardest time dealing with allosaurus. Rhino eye sight is poor, allosaurus could take them on at night, theid clinch on like an eagle but with their massive claws, and start bitting slicing flesh while the rhino struggles and eventually tires.
Rhinos, like all large mammals, have a long gestation period, and the only thing they could maybe do is run away. Girraffes are a lot faster, hippos can get in the water, elephants can fight back but rhinos can MAYBE run away.
Yup, a two ton predator with razor blades for teeth that preys on tanks with spiked tails and 40+ton long necks is no match for a 7 tone elephant gotchia lol.@@hugomas5207
Lions also only hunt in the mid day or night, so there would be time if an Allosaurs hunted their prey when they slept. We know this, because Cheetahs tend to hunt at different times of day to avoid Lions.
@@hugomas5207literalmente cazaban diplodocus, que era mucho mas grandes que los elefantes
You seem to think that the Allosaurus would actually stay the size it was. Due to the scarcity of large prey animals it would shrink to make sure there would be enough food. Dinosaurs have done this in the past and have shown that it really doesn't take long.
But the video is not about a evolved version of the allo, but the allo we know today.
Depends. Remove humans from the mix and allow the ecosystem to be, there is a sizeable amount of prey for it.
@@bigmoe9856 with how abundant beached whales used to be and still are an allosaurus could do decently in a costal area.
@@Niggass1255Probably not now that I read ops comment. Dwarfism is extremely common among large creatures in areas with little food, and it doesn't take long at all. Allosaurus would probably shrink
yes, that's a normal evolution in predators, they adapt to the preys@@sapphhere283
It would probably decimate the giraffe population.
Mostly rhino population.
Giraffe's have the ability to spot it more readily than most other animals, so I'm not sure on that one.
@@loganshark667 I think a rhino would be able to defend itself against the much smaller Allosaurus

This is a pretty interesting video. I wish there were more people making these kinds of videos where dinosaurs are brought into the modern world and the impacts it would have are brought up.
Awesome video! please keep it up with other prehistoric species back in modern day
I feel like they would absolutely terrorize Nile Crocodiles. A full grown Nile can get up to 1700 pounds. Just imagine one sunning itself and getting ambushed before its slow ass could get into the water. It would be like Jaguars hunting caimans in South America.
Jaguars hunt caimans that are considerably smaller than itself. A fully grown Nile croc is still very large and has very strong armor and bite strength. Also predators don't generally take on animals where they can get hurt a lot. One bite to the allosaurus's leg and its over for it even if it kills the croc.
@@taranpreetsingh2347My money is still on the Allo. It would still dwarf the croc, even a full size one. And they have longer necks with more range of motion. A croc keeps it's back to the water to hide their tail, but an Allo could likely just reach around it and snag it up by the tail
Nice! I would love to see more vids like this, like what if dromaeosaurs like Velociraptor or Deinonychus or Dakotaraptor (or even all three?) were introduced to modern day Eurasia? Or what if Sauropods were introduced into modern ecosystems? Or the reverse, introducing modern day animals into Mesozoic ecosystems?
those are good ideas, also modern animals in the mesozoic? I wonder what the next video will be about👀
if it's modern day as in present, They'd likely be hunted to extinction.
Loved the video. Would have liked to see images like the one with the human for scale showing size comparison between allosaurus and the African mammals mentioned.
You're underrated the stealth of allosaurus. Elephants are notorious for appearing disappearing. They are extremely quiet, allosaurus like elephants had big padded feet. So it was probably a pretty stealthy boi.
Basically all dinosaurs had padded feet, because they kinda dont wanna die,
Extremely interesting topic you should definitely make more on if certain dinosaurs had to survive in modern ecosystems.
Another interesting idea would be to introduce Allosaurus fragilis to early Miocene South America where it would compete with the similarly sized Barinasuchus, I'd also suggest adding other non-avian dino species as well, such as Velociraptor and Deinonychus, ankylosaurs, hadrosaurs, and titanosaurs, that way you could basically recreate the Age of Dinosaurs in miniature in Miocene South America. These reintroduced dinos would not only impact Miocene South American ecosystems, but potentially have even wider impacts on the global climate as well due to the sudden influx of green house gas emissions they'd give off. Which could then in turn lead to so many more impacts across the globe.
Honestly, it could make for an AWESOME spec-evo project/series, I'm actually a bit disappointed that no one has seemingly done this before.
Another interesting thing to explore in such a scenario is, assuming there is no localized mass extinction of South American fauna like in OTL, then you could explore the faunal interchange between North & South America in this ATL, you could explore how non-avian dinosaurs colonizing North America affect the mammal dominated ecosystems therein, and explore how the dinos evolve in turn as they colonize further north towards the arctic and the Bering Land Bridge and eventually begin colonizing Eurasia.
thats honestly a great idea, given the timescale and amount of species and areas involved it'll be a larger project but definitely interesting
You mentioned it would make a good spec-evo project and it definitely would, theres a spec evo project called "Tales of Kaimere" if you haven't heard of it that mixes dinosaur descendants and modern animals, although it takes place on another planet and has some "magical" shenanigans.
Miocene South America was already dominated by a bunch of predatory clades. Sparassodonts, phorusrhacids, and sebecids come to mind. Whether this would help or hinder them is the important question…
It is hard to compare an allosauruses predatory capabilities against modern mammals by using weight. Allosauruses bones were hollow, making it much lighter than any mammal of similar size, but that does not reflect its muscle mass/strength ratio in comparison to weight. I think they would be much more lethal than most people realize.
Especially with the increased Oxygen content of the modern atmosphere.
Dang I’ve been wondering this for a while thx for answering this

Great video my guy
I also think that allosaurus chicks would struggle to grow into adults with the constant pressure from smaller mammalian carnivores as well as monitor lizards and pythons. Jackals, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs could easily hunt and kill small chicks and easily outrun an angry allosaurus mother hence possibly keeping the population of allosaurus very small to only a few thousand.
After a few million years you may see a trend where Allosaurus begins to speciate into being smaller so they can prey upon the more faster and agile mammalian herbivores kinda like how terror birds did filling the niche of the now extinct lions, and also having a species that is typically larger in size to better hunt elephants and other larger megafauna.
Allosaurus lived in an environment with tons of other predators. The savannah today would be no different.

I think large theropod dinosaurs would just starve to death in a modern ecosystem to be honest. Modern megafauna is too rare, too fast and too intelligent for them to get enough food. Even if they could hunt them successfully, elephants couldn't survive their hunting pressures. They would starve to death after overhunting their food supply.

My thoughts during an exam be like:
Seriously tho bro cool and interesting video and channel!
Your video inspired me to do a video in which I bring a PSNO Allosaurus toy to Six Flags Safari in New Jersey and have him react to the wildlife there. Filming begins this spring.
I was thinking that a smaller allosaur would be better suited for living in Australia
Forget Eggs, Elephant Birds didn't have razor sharp teeth the size of a machete. You'd have to be soft in the head to tackle an Allosaurus, one of the longest surviving apex predators to have ever existed and was so for a reason.
Really great video. It would be awesome if you could also mention metric units. Anyway, I subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Im drunker than the last guy, but damn you were right, I did enjoy. Keep it up!
That you even took time out your day to mention that lions wouldnt be able to prey on the giant megapredator 10x their size made laugh out loud. _Lions_ are the ones on the menu!
Well.....they didn't pop out of their egg 10x the size of a lion.
I reckon Allos would eventually adapt to hunt buffaloes to survive as a population because they're far more numerous than giraffes, hippos, rhinos and elephants, all of which could give the Allo a hard time.
Rhinos... sadly due to humans would be lacking defensively. Their horns are either already cut off or have shrunk a lot thanks to humans hunting them for it. Their terrible eye sight could lead them to be a pretty good prey item.
Hippos might have to change their tune a bit, their notoriously aggressive territorial behavior could really backfire if they decide to go after an Allosaurus.
Giraffes would just bolt on out of there and should be fine mostly.
Elephants would be the most interesting to see how they handle things. They are mighty intelligent after all, if male bull elephants are suddenly on the menu table of something do they start forming mini groups themselves for safety? Similar to Rhinos their tusks have been shrinking a lot in recent years as well due to the most impressive 'tuskers' being targeted by hunters and poachers so defensively they'll be lacking a bit. Can an Allosaurus deal with a herd of Elephants or would they just opt to go for easier prey like water buffalos?

Allosaurus has always been one of my favourites, it not being huge (by predatory theropod standards) makes it interesting in how it would hunt and generally operate.
nice video!
Don’t forget that allosaurus have a bite force of a gray wolf or lion, they may also have been sized reduced in the modern times, so it could have been less damaging to the African ecosystems, we may also have African allosaurus already, more research needed for this possibility tho.
Thats been debunked, its bite was actually much stronger at around 3000-3500 psi, closer to an Alligator than the 650 psi bite of a lion
@@deadtake2664 alright ty for the information.
@@BUCK_23CHAD On top of that: allosaurus didnt rely on its bite to hunt, it used its giant claws to pincer down its prey like eagles, and while the large animal struggles itll eat them alive with their slicing teeth leading to massive blood loss and death.
Also, i am not sure why you think allosaurus size would be reduced.
A recent study from 2022 estimates allosaurus bite force at around 4400 newtons at the anterior part of the jaws and about 9389 at the posterior part of the jaws which i think is about twice the bite force of a tiger if i remember correctly. So no, allo didnt have a bite force weaker than a lion and adding the serrated teeth and we get a deadly predator.
@@deadtake2664 Like the outdated Allosaurs bite force, the 650 psi bite force for Lions is also inaccurate. That was a juvenile that was measured, adult Lion's bite force should be closer to that of a Tiger, around 1050 psi.
I have a video idea if you want to make what if Carcharodontosaurus and Sarcosuchus were still around today in Africa?
All mega fauna will freak out especially rhinoceros elephants and hippopotamus
Why did I want and need this so much?
Allosaurus lived during a time of higher oxygen levels in the air. If it was brought to the modern day environment, it would soon die of oxygen shortage, similar to altitude sickness.
Me pretending to understand what feet and pounds are
At issue is egg laying and sub adult care. Some indications were that dinosaurs incubation period was much longer than comparably sized modern birds. Also, 2 tons is max size not average size. Average size would be about twice lion-sized.
Young allosaurs would be as liable to predation as monitor lizards. The eggs would attract numerous nest raiders - unless allosaurs had nest - sitting habits, there might not be allosaurs to survive to continue.
Human interaction would be swift and lethal. Crocodiles get away with their depredation because it's restricted to rivers and lakes. Allosaurs would have a higher metabolism., eating more often. I somehow feel they would treat humans as part of the food chain, even more than other mammals do.
Also, oxygen levels in the atmosphere were higher in the Jurassic, than in modern times. This would affect their size. And ability to hunt - like a sea level sprinter suddenly dealing with Denver altitude air density. Extreme exertion would suffocate them. If they adapted, your 2ton carnosaur might, in a few generations top out about lion-sized.
The Mesozoic had plenty of egg thieves so I doubt that would single-handedly end the species. Also 2 tons is not a maximum size, we’ve found serval individuals larger.
Actually, as far as I know, the Jurassic had similar oxygen levels to today, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Ignoring the fact that dinos can process oxigen better than mammals, the oxigen wasn't that different.
Hello there! I just found your channel. And I am very happy I did. Best wishes to you I say o7
(edit) this is just a suggestion, but it would be nice if, when mentioning weight or height, you Sir, could mention, or just write on the video, how much is the weight/height in kilograms and meters / centimeters. That would make it easier for viewers where those measurements aren't used. CHEERS!
That’s a good idea, thank you
GREAT video
I think an allosaurus would be a very good and sweet pet 😊
maybe, when it tries to eat you it may sour a bit
@@Sedimented.Studios I don't know. I would kiss it on the cheek 😁
@@kingdon7795 i would wish you all the luck with that, would be sick if you succeeded
@@Sedimented.Studios 😜
It would effect big cats, and lions the most, but it wouldn't be as bad for them as you're saying. A young allosaurus would make for tempting prey especially for leopards who can kill large silverbacks. Just depends on when mama al stops acting as a guardian.
I loved the movie about the life of the Allosaurus, I just really wish that I could have lived when they lived, no matter what would happen,,and I am very sad 😞 that the asteroid hit the earth 🌎 and caused the destruction of all life forms, except for very small animals,,The movie was entitled Big Al
Allosaurus being prey to leopards, now that's a good joke i have heard
Bro incase you forgot they are predators with thich Armour and jagged teeth
One bite and it's over for the squishy mammals.
@@aiperthatgotmutatedbytruth5638 tell me how thich they Armour is culd teh kats jagged teeths get thru?
@@aiperthatgotmutatedbytruth5638Did you missed the word "young" here? Obviously leopard is no match for the fully matured Allosaurus but the hatchling and juvenile are still susceptible to predation from Leopards
Todo bien esta que dijiste lo de espalda plateada.
Los leopardos no los cazan. Sólo los atacan en sus nidos y a la especie occidental.
I LOVE these “animals in the wrong environments” please do more. How about a gorgonopsid in modern day or a lion in its place?
I normally don’t like the “what ifs” since they are mostly fantasies but the narrator’s logical expertise/explanation makes perfect sense re: apex prehistoric predator suddenly roaming the Savannah. I found this video very interesting!
PS: For Part II he should drop a few hundred politicians onto these grasslands…now THAT would be entertaining!
would definitely decimate the native animal population.
Darth vader hallway scene but with lions instead of rebels
@@flyingdog2304 are we talking about an armored and weaponized allosaurus here?
This is great. Allosaurus has always been my favorite. It would be interesting to see what would happen with Utah Raptor as well. It would not be as easy for it to bully other predators until it reached maximum size
This video brings to my mind the film, "Valley of Gwangi." Without a doubt, Allosaurus would be the apex predator on the African savannah. Thank you, Sedimented Studios.
Earned a sub
🤣😂😁🫡😆🤯🤯🤯🤯
One of my favourite what if series idea. I'm interested in how would Nanuqsaurus fare in today's arctic conditions. Competing with polar bears, managing preys etc etc
great idea
It is likely that zoos would compete to have savanna Allosaurus captured to add to their collections.Thus some more pressure on their population.
rats, birds, lizards seeing Allosaurus' nests: Hmmmm tasty!
It makes you ponder how reintroducing a species not adapted to its environment might not be the greatest idea.
Care must be taken befofe doing so.
Can you do more of this pudding dinosaurs in real life ecosystems it’s very interesting 🤔
@Sedeminted Studios how about a carnotosaurus?
Life does often find a way, Which lifeforms is the question
Good brain teaser here
Al O'Saurus, my favourite Irish dinosaur! Seriously, I've always had a fondness for the Jurassic beasties. I can certainly see this one as a savannah predator, especially operating in packs.
Simce we're talking about fictional characters, you should do one on Xenomorphs next!
The visual of an Allo hunting crocs by snatching them up in the air by the tail as they turn for the water is really funny
Elephants would make short work of al.
I imagine as the years passed they’d actually get slightly smaller if their prey got smaller too.
That being said, I don’t remember where it said how many eggs they normally laid, but given their size, I imagine they would at least lay 2 eggs or more
Could you do more of these? Using different Dino’s?
but wait,
are you saying just a single allosaurus or multiple allosaurus?
also, will it have subspecies?
for E.G : A. (A. Is allosaurus) A. Fragilis A. Maximus A. Jimmadseni
sorry for asking too much
This would be terrifying
Allosaurus has not seen such time travel before
"Allosaurus has never seen such bullshit before"- taken to literally, and im all for it
Asking the hard-hitting questions, my guy✊️
This is the same as when big cats arrived on Kaimere for the first time and encountered the native Megaraptorans.
Why not also give the weight and height in international units too? I can't watch the video if I have to pause 10 ten times to convert the units.
Don’t think an allo would do so we’ll head on with a rhino tbh. Lower centre of gravity, horn and wild aggression. If the rhino knocks the allo over its fucked.
The issue I see with Allosaurus living in the african savannah is that most of the potential prey does not grow as fast or in high quantities as most sauropods or other large dinosaurs. After a while allosaurs might have to oftenly go for antelopes instead.
I’d love to see if ceratosaurus could survive in jungles or swamps of the modern day. Personally I think it’d do much better in the Everglades or in a mangrove swamp.
That being said I do have a something I would like to put out there. While allosaurus did most likely perform some level of parental care eventually young would be left to fend for themselves. To my knowledge, current research suggests the mother most likely raised her young similar to crocodilians where she mainly protects the young but doesn’t feed them. This would also suggest the young lose their mothers protection before they get decent in size. So big cats, small cats, lizards, snakes, dogs, hyenas, mongoose, etc etc. could potentially hunt very young allosaurus. I’m not suggesting the species would survive or displace modern apex predators, however I do think that it would curb their populations from being overly numerous
Allosaurus would be hunted to extinction by humans in modern day. Poachers and exotic hunters especially. He can bypass a fence, but can it bypass a .50 cal to the chest?
Great video btw
Can you make a video of a Acrocanthosaurus or a gorgo would do in Africa but in all honesty it’s a W
Allosaurus:(lays lots of eggs)
Human:(makes lots of omelets)
Maybe we should be doing these experiments when humans can't put poisoned carcasses, use grenade launchers, or burn over allosaur nests. Okay, that's a pre-sapiens possibility. But at least put it in the stone tech days. If people hunt elephants, they will hunt allosaur that break their log fortress walls.
What dinosaur would you bring to the mammoth steppe?
I like you video and your thoughtful presentation. You obviously did a lot of work.
Perhaps I might offer another aspect to your presentation. I was thinking that while the allosaurus could reproduce fairly quickly, the babies would be under a lot of peril in the years it would take them to reach a size where the current apex predators would have no trouble killing them. They may not have immunity against poisonous snakes, little predators like Honey Badgers (who don’t give a sh*t) would counted amongst eaters of juveniles. Depending upon whose narrative you believe, if dinosaurs were cold blooded, the warm blooded mammals have a distinct advantage when the temperature drops. Sure modern reptiles are abundant in Africa, but crocodiles have water for hiding, but Allosaurus might not be victorious over a full ground crocodile.
Point being, an Allosaurus would have a lot of tribulations to reach adulthood from the time the egg was laid in the nest. I just don’t think the Allosaurus would have a cake walk to being the top apex predator. In this scenario, the human element has not been added to the equation. There are a lot of very large animals that are extinct due to humanoid animal intervention.
Just food for thought, I am in no way finding fault or disputing your presentation, I reiterate, I did enjoy it.
Respectfully submitted
Karensaurus were believed to be notoriously bad tempered. If they came back today, you would probably find them freaking out on airplanes or throwing hot soup on an employee in a fast-food restaurant.
great analysis but as others have mentioned, Rodents and small birds could have a serious effect on Allosaurus eggs. Their lack of parental care would leave the eggs vulnerable. Even with care rodents are too small and nimble for an allosaurus to catch without damaging the nest
Genuinely cannot tell if this is an A.I video or not and that scares me
The Honey Badger (cute name, small in size...kinda looks like an overgrown skunk but with a massive attitude, endurance and the weaponry to boot) would put it in the hurt locker; the Honey Badger would not be able to out right kill an Allosaurus but it would eventually give up and limp away after fucking around and finding out.
'The Valley of Gwangi' comes to mind...
I think nests of Allosaurus would be also the target of predetion. Also they would probably also wonder of into Asia and Europe because of lacking Territorys
Text to speexh voice is killing me, they make these videos so passionless
You know, sad for the Lions, but someone needs to put those Hippos into their place.
I agree
1:24 just a quick oopsie I noticed here
As you switched from black and white rhinos you showed two images of black rhinos with different dirt on them implying both are the two species
I'm sure this was an unintentional oversight but wanted to let you know as you did show white rhinos at the beginning of this part (rectangle head with square mouth while black ones have a pointed lip)
