    I think people who get upset that the dinos are t accurate forget that literally in the first film, they say that they used DNA from amphibians to finish missing parts. Meaning they fundamentally changed the core base if the dinos and they would be new versions of the species. Any differences would be due to these changes in the DNA structure.

      In the book, there is a scene before everything goes bad where Wu confronts Hammond with a plan for a 2.0 series of dinosaurs that are altered to be more like we pictured them back in the 60's and 70's. His reasoning was that even despite the alterations in their DNA, the dinosaurs he had made weren't what anybody expected and felt people wouldn't resonate with them due to their antiquated views. On top of it, Wu knew that the park wasn't designed with smart, fast, bird like dinosaurs in mind, and saw the problems they would face trying to contain them.

      The Dilophosaurus in the first film was changed to smaller build due to the smaller role she played in JP1. The Velociraptors in reality were actually the size of the Spitter seen in the first JP film, but they were made as big as humans in the first JP films and all other films, so as to pose as a bigger threat to the humans. And t It would be ridiculous to see small-sized Raptors running around the Visitor Center to hunt down the humans.

    In reference to #10, not only were most of the depicted dinosaurs native to the Cretaceous Period, but many of the species on display in the franchise were separated from each other's times by dozens of millions of years. The T-Rex died off around 66 million years ago, while the Stegosaurus was extinct around 150 million years ago. So in a relative way, modern humans existed closer in time to T-Rex, than T-Rex was to Stegosaurus. The ages that the Earth was ruled by dinosaurs covered some 170 million years of the Earth's 4.5 billion year lifetime.

      @guytremblay1647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      the fact is that it actually did both full time but when searching for food ti most likely tried to scavenge first before resorting to hunting . A creature this size would have used up a lot of its energy hunting after a prey in just a few seconds trying to catch its prey . It would try to find a carcasse first then it would hunt if it found none and ambush hunting wasn't something sucessfull everytime it would have been easy for raptors since they were fast but not for a Trex who would have been way to slow to have a significant success at ambushing . Doesn't mean that they didn't succeed at times trying it but it is most likely that they failed most of the time if they tried this kind of hunting Most of the Trex fossils that were found had fight injuries which suggest that the only thing they could hunt most of the time were preys its own size who could not run faster than they did and since now its been proven that Trex could only run at 15 kmh at the most it opens up a lot of theories on what kind of prey Trex most likely hunted when it only had that option to eat . It is more liekly that Trex actually scavenged first before using hunting since it had to fight preys of its own size if it did decide to hunt and that ment taking a lot of risk .

    Thanks for the video! Super interesting -- love these movies, despite the more-than-occasional silliness.
    Having grown up around paleontologists, I feel compelled to make a few notes here which I hope someone finds interesting:
    Stygimoloch and Pachycephalosaurus: If you take a look at the skulls, even in photographs, they're pretty darned different -- probably *not* the same creature. Also note that Horner thinks Dracorex grows up to be Pachycephalosaurus, which, again, have completely different skulls, even discounting Dracorex's lack of head growth.
    Dino Digs: I've always thought these depictions of dinosaur digs are *hilarious.* Even though they're wrong, at least they make anyone who's ever gone on a dig laugh.
    T-rex speeds: Still much contended among the paleontologist community; many believe the T-rex does indeed reach higher speeds. Consider also that predators (see below note) usually need to be at least as fast as their prey.
    T-rex predation: Many skeletons of large herbivores have injuries, and even imbedded teeth, from T-rex -- which have *healed.* This means the animals were *alive* when they were attacked, and adds credence to the predator argument. Horner, one of the main believers in the scavenger side, says (and I kid you not) that the T-rex thought these animals must have been sleeping, then ran away when they woke up.
    Velociraptors: Bizarrely, since the first movie was made, *two* raptors of about the same or larger size, Dakota Raptor and the Utah Raptor, have been discovered, which is so weird and awesome and just a fun fact.
    Also, correct me if I'm wrong in any of these! Paleontology is full of politics, but I think everyone can agree dinosaurs are cool!

    I mean when it came to feathers and just about everything else, I disregarded the fact because every dinosaur in the show aren't pure. Even if these facts are true, the movies explained that they're hybrids of frogs, and possibly other creatures. This especially is true for dilophosaurs, indominus rex, and other creatures.

    Most of those things, if not all, already have been explained [away] or at could be explained within the franchise.
    Especially in Jurassic World, when Dr. Wu said "But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth."
    So ANYTHING regarding size, feathers and looks is essentially explained via this.
    Even the Brachiosaurus can be explained within the franchise's logic: Due to the genetic lottery (combining multiple species to create almost any dinosaur (except maybe the pure breads in Dominion)), the muscles could "stronger" and/or the bones could be denser and/or the flesh could be less dense. The latter two making the Brachiosaurus lighter and the first one making the already lighter dinosaur "easier" to "stand up".
    It might be "scientifically incorrect", but it is "explained" within the series' own "science".

    The triceratops big pile of poo thing has been debunked. Yes it’s too big a pile for one triceratops to make, even in multiple goes, but considering it’s a wildlife park/zoo, the main reason there would be piles of poo this big is that the keepers/rangers use tractors to move dung into large piles in the same area. This is done with rhinoceroses in zoos and wildlife reserves as well, to let the animals know where their communal toilet is, so as not to poo all over their given space. Kind of like a natural litter box of sorts. Not a confirmed fact, just an educated assumption based on the current practices with similar sized animals in some zoos and wildlife reserves.

    There’s a fact: the T-REX would have beaten the Spinosaurus. It wouldn’t have been a challenge at all. It would have been an instant victory for the Tyrannosaurus. The bite force of Tyrannosaurus rex was powerful and strong. It’s strong bite would crush the Spino Neck or Fins. Also it would have dominate. The spino in a battle would be in a disadvantage since it mainly lively in river like areas. So the fact that the two would have battle isn’t realistic nor a possibility.

    • @bjornar9026
      @bjornar9026 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You might be right, but bite force cannot be used as the sole deciding factor here. The bite force of the Spinosaurus would be enough to cause serious damage. Besides it had greater mass and longer, more usable «arms». It could go either way, although I too think the T.Rex would win more often than not.

    there's also the fact that Baryonyx had a giant thumb claw.
    everyone notices the snout, but not the feature that sets it apart from other Spinosaurids? *sigh* i wish everyone would notice it...
    9:25 the best it could do, was bellow. and as crocodilians taught us, they don't need a voice box to issue sound. all a dinosaur has to do is to forcefully let out air - to intimidate smaller predators off a carcass or a rival, to name two instances in which it would need to do that. and said bellow probably wouldn't sound like what you think it would.
    Dilophosaurus was the largest carnivore of the Early Jurassic; it was a superpredator. and it had stronger jaws than initially thought, not to mention its crests would have looked very different.
    14:09 and its the juveniles you should run from. an adult Rex would see you as too small to be conidered food; along with other large carnivores.
    it's the small and mid-sized predators you should fear - including the juveniles of the large predators, as i said.
    16:01 correct. its teeth were designed to grip and hold fish and its legs were far shorter than in JP3. not to mention that its tail was a large paddle/rudder; it spent more time in water than it did on land.
    in other words, Spinosaurus would be at a severe disadvantage if it battled a Tyrannosaurus.
    granted, it could use its jaws to grab the Rex's neck and drag it to the bottom of the river and attempt to drown it, but Tyrannosaurus had a thick and powerful neck; it could break free (and Prehistoric Planet showed us it could swim very well).
    but remember what Spinosaurus looked like? drowning the Rex could be possible if it was swimming; and there's still a debate whether Spinosaurus could actually swim (imo, the tail says yes; but i'll leave it to the experts to figure that out).
    17:37 Biosyn, iirc, said that the dinosaurs they made there had *pure* DNA. remember the Atrociraptors? the woman who controlled them (forgot her name) said they were purebred... then why are they still featherless and are the size of Utahraptor?
    that's naming just one.
    17:55 most likely a barely visible coat, like in Prehistoric Planet. you need to look VERY closely to notice the coat.
    large dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus had less and thinner layers of proto-feathers than the smaller ones like Velociraptor, since the climate was too hot for a large predator like Tyrannosaurus to warrant a dense coat.
    19:55 like the majority of bipedal carnivores.
    i like to think this is an "alternate Earth" situation.

    Inaccuracy #7: Well, I’m sorry to say this, but, I’m lawyering that “inaccuracy” for a reason. Look, like, did we forget that all these dinosaurs have frog DNA involved? Yes? Well, in a later scene (after the T-rex breaks out of the paddock), Alan encounters some dinosaurs eggs, and gives a brilliant explanation about how some types of frogs can change their gender in a single-sex environment. So, if the frog DNA affects the dinosaurs’ genders, and mating rituals, why not their vision, too.
    Look, frogs can actually only see objects that move. Otherwise, they’ll starve to death if the objects don’t move. Frogs can also only focus on some specific objects, so they don’t get to concentrated on what’s not important to them, like shadows. Credit goes to BRIGHT SIDE, and the Jaw-Dropping Facts channel.
