    Fun fact deinosuchus lived on both sides of the Western interior seaway but the eastern species(D.shwimmeri)was more abundant while the Western species(D.Hatcheri) grew bigger,also deinosuchus took a while to grow one man said a full grown deinosuchus must of seen several generations of dinosaurs come and go

      Thanks mate! There are many really fascinating aspect of this animal, but I had to edit out a lot of science parts or the video would be intolerably long! Being cold-blooded with such a slow metabolism, I wouldn't be surprised if this thing could outlive the presumably warmer blooded dinos a generation or two. This really is an amazing model and there was already plenty to say and show about it.

    I don't even want to compare this beauty with another figure. This is so DAMN gorgeous. There are some beautiful resin models, but even they can't fight with this beauty. I have only one figure from rebor (Komodo dragon/Megalania) and I know how awesome rebor figures can be. And the improvements are visible. So there is nothing to complain about. I think rebor earned its spot in the toy figure industry. So they deserve all the love ❤ my dear Sir, thank you for this amazing video. As always, you make the figure worth more with the details. Please keep up the fantastic work and wish you all the best 😊

      Thank you Rajitha! Well, this one is easier to hide the seams given the scutes of the animal, so it won't look out of place compared to a much smoother skinned individual. Unfortunately it's a lot harder to hide them for a dinosaur. Even a mammal could have overlapping fur, but dinosaurs are pretty much SOL 😥Regardless, looked at in totality, I admire Rebor for the work it's produced so far!

    And I agree Rebor did an amazing job at their take on Deinosuchus if certain feature weren't as noticable or were expanded too much. Furthermore I think you did a fine job at defining the meaning of *Deinosuchus*

    I think what has changed is the usage of 'terrible', which used to also mean formidable, dreadful, awe-inspiring, the first two relating to the fearful quality of something overawing and powerful. (e.g. "Oz the Great and Terrible") That meaning is somewhat archaic these days. (Awesome has had its own evolution of course, with 'awe-inspiring' retaining the older meaning.)

    I think it is worth bringing to your attention that there was discussion, and concern about the anatomical issues on the Dinotoyforum (maybe elsewhere) while the Rebor figure was in development, some of which went ignored (such as the clawed fourth and fifth digits). I know the Fadeno skeletal you compared it to, was shared, alongside the 2018 paper by Cossette & Brochu, Mark Witton's post, etc. I know Rebor said they referenced the Fadeno skeletal, and others, and also referenced extant crocodilians, which some raised points of contention with doing so.
    Other then the claws on the digits that shouldn't have them, I don't fully understand what is wrong, but I also have yet to take a look at the material that was suggested to them. Crocodilians are also not my strong suit, and I know I definitely neglect to give them attention and research compared to dinosaurs. At a glance though this is still a good step in the right direction from their previous sculpt work way back. The head is at least more recognizable as from a Deinosuchus now. So even if it might not be the most ideal or accurate representation, it's at least somewhat there, and helps fill a gap that's been on the market since the Carnegie figure retired. I think both renditions look really nice too, and I'm having a hard time deciding which I want. In any case thanks for reviewing both. I'm also curious how this would look next to Safari Ltd's Sarcosuchus.
    Oh and fun fact, in case folks don't know, the name comes from Metallica. When it was originally sculpted/announced back in the day, it was still called Meta, and it had a Sarcosuchus counterpart called Lica. I can't remember if that one has been redesigned, and if that will see the light of day like this Deinosuchus thankfully did?

    • @DinosDragons
      @DinosDragons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow thanks for your insight as always Faelrin! Seems like there's plenty of action on your forums just like there are on the Chinese ones, though hopefully more civil lol.
      Anyway if I were to guess, I think it might be to do with the osteoderms. You can see how thick and round they are, (I believe Dr Witton used the word "inflated keels" to give you an idea of how 'bloated' they look), to the point of losing those keels. Here every single keel is delineated and it looks, at least to my untrained eye, that there is no sign of that bulbous appearance under the flat scutes. You can Google "Dalek" to get an idea of the comparator he used.
      Generally, most people will look at certain defining and obvious anatomical characteristics as markers for accuracy. For example, Allosaurus with that enlarged thumb claw, centrosaurines with their distinctive epiparietals, and in the case of Deinosuchus it will be those osteoderms. When obvious features that even laymen can see aren't present, it diminishes the enjoyment that someone with that knowledge has. You might ask some of the experts (Every forum has one or two!) what they are specifically unhappy with.
      Unfortunately, I haven't yet received my Safari Ltd Sarcosuchus. These two animals are a great combo, and if Rebor does do Sarcosuchus soon, then that combo of names coming together is clever! Rebor has done great work in their recent scientific models, and to have that Dynamic Duo of Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus, and hat their names go together to form Metallica, just appeals to my sense of symmetry!

      I don't know if it's hollow, but it certainly feels solid to me! As for the weight, the tail is 131g (0.3lb), the body 585g (1.3lb), the Appalchiasaurus remains 14g (0.5oz). The whole croc is thus 716g (1.6lb).

      Tell me about it! There were several times I tried opening it from the mandible. But I guess it makes sense, since it's laying flat on the ground, the only way it opens it's mouth is the top, just like real crocs. Otherwise we would have the same situation as with PNSO's Andrea, where people are scratching their heads wondering what good is an articulated mandible on an animal lying with chin to ground.

    Because thet modern relatives are usually 16ft max but there where grow to 21ft and even 23ft was recorded so can we say they're a older Bull(Male) Deinosuchus?

    • @DinosDragons
      @DinosDragons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Shawn, that's a good question. I know comparatively little about crocs, but in general for extinct animals, some leeway in terms of a ± x% can be added to the length of the animal to account for upper and lower extreme limits. The most optimistic estimate I know of for Deinosuchus is about 12m. This model is about 44cm, meaning 1:35 represents 15.4m (50.5ft) which is about 25% over that.
      Also, animals aren't expanded volumetrically and in all directions. You notice how in extant animals, a certain % increase in length does not correspond to the same overall %increase in scaling.
      I'm afraid I've been pretty lazy when it comes to allometry, but it's definitely on my todo list of things to read! Hopefully someone can give you a better answer 😊

  • @paleoguy2165

      @DinosDragons  ปีที่แล้ว

      Could you give me a reference? Last I heard, the largest estimate was about 15m from Schwimmer, which has been called into doubt. This one I estimate at about 44cm, so for 14m it would be about 1:32.
