As a bird nerd, the relationship between Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus reminds me of the relationship between the Golden Eagle and the Steppe Eagle in the Old World, and the Ferruginous Hawk in the New World. The Golden Eagle is a supreme generalist that will take anything from rabbits, to other birds, to even fox and deer. Their main prey over the world tends to be hare, and the two species have a long and rich evolutionary predator-prey arms race. In comparison, the Steppe Eagle hunts mainly ground prey the Golden doesn't touch, mostly ground squirrels and/or gophers, but mainly hunts small mammals in places with no ground squirrels. The Ferruginous Hawk is less specialised than the Steppe Eagle, and in areas with no Golden Eagles, it hunts more generally. But in areas with more Golden Eagles, it hunts more small ground mammals, like a Steppe Eagle. So interesting!
@@rookbirdblues its fascinating how these raptor species adapted their hunting strategies based on their competition and prey availability. btw do we have any evidence of similar behavioral or ecological adaptations in dinors?
As a child growing up in the 1960s, I had a dinosaur book that I loved. (Still have it around somewhere, in fact!) Ceratosaurus was in there, but with some fairly strong caveats. The book stated that Ceratosaurus was known from only one skeleton "with several odd features", and heavily suggested that the specimen might be just a badly deformed Allosaurus. The idea of a horned predator seemed so very much against the natural order of things -- another idea implied by the book -- that I was happy to go along with that opinion for decades. Wondering now whether the "Jurassic Fight Club" people are working with memories of something similar from outdated books. They don't have sauropods using their necks as snorkels while wading through deep water, do they?
You might be on to something. I recently heard prof. Dave in an interview in which he said that pseudoscience peddlers often take outdated science (from decades to centuries old) and present it to their viewers as fact.
Ceratosaur might be smaller than its Jurassic "co-workers" but it is the one with the last laugh as it persit to the end of the Cretaceous, while its old coworkers died off along the way.
Ceratosaurus is one of my favorite non-sauropod dinosaurs. I love it. It’s such an awesome and iconic creature, yet gets shafted so often. I don’t get it. Why is such a cool dinosaur treated as Allosaurus’s punching bag? I’m tired of my boy being slandered, so thank you Dr. Polaris for giving him some good publicity for once.
Cool to think that the Cer-Allo rivalry perpetuated long after their existences through their descendants, the Carcharodontosaurids and the Abelisaurs.
Ceratosaurus was the most adaptable Therapods in the Jurassic period since their fossils are found, not just in North America, but places in Africa, Europe, I believe in South America, matter of fact, Ceratosaurs actually died out after one allosaurus died out and other of the large predators. It’s quite a shame really the Jurassic fight club downplayed Ceratosaurus because Ceratosaurus is one of my favorite theropods and yeah, George blazing what is the problem since he is an allosaurus fanboy himself even though I used to be friends with him anymore but now I know the truth about Jurassic fight club. So pretty much that Ceratosaurus was the leopard of the Jurassic since it’s adaptable
I really like your channel Dr Polaris and I have for some time in my humble opinion you are the most humble historian and entertaining awesome accent TH-cam channel around
Fun fact, Stokesosaurus did make an appearance in Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals, although oversized and somewhat inaccurate in appearance. Just thought you want to know! 😊
This is why I don't like these dinosaur comparisons or these versus fights. Because sometimes people will try to take away one thing or the other of what makes an animal so good in its own right. And the fact that not every animal is going to be super combative.
As a suggestion for a future topic, I would like you to consider this propsal: I saw recently that Corvids and Psittacoformes (Crows and Parrots) are deemed the most intelligent of the Birds, and that their brains have approximately double the density of Neurons compared to Mammalia. If this is true, then on the assumption that Birds are derived Dinosaurs, the brain capacity could be underestimated. I would like to see the results of surveys conducted on Bird's brains to get an estimate of Neuron Density across all representatives of the Genus's. I would use a microtome and subsequent staining on sections and do a random 50 field view, counting neurons in each field of view. This data could then be used to compare brain capacities of Dinosaurs upscaling in comparison to extant Mammals. Example, did a Sauropod have comparable weighted brain mass to an Elephant or less.
1:01 The chief example of this are the Iguanodons (and to a lesser extent other herbivorous dinosaurs). By being killed easily by T-rex in movie depictions it caused the public to stop caring much for the dinosaur.
my first exposure to Ceratosaurus was an ARK mod... loud and vicious, and very capable in combat! sad to hear their main stereotype is a prehistoric punching bag...
Thanks for the video! I also find Ceratosaurus interesting because in my opinion it relies more on a powerful attack at close range than on chasing. Can we see in the near future about the Metriacanthosauridae? (This family of allosaurids is also somewhat out of the spotlight and deserves more of it.)
Thank you, thank you for the clear words and the great video. ❤ Regarding Ceratosaurus and the smaller number: In my opinion, you give the answer yourself in the video. 🤓 Its preferred habitat is the forest. Life forms that did not exist on the coast or floodplains and were sedimented there are more difficult to find. Simply because they tend not to be fossilized. I think that if such creatures are found, the number can be multiplied by a factor of three. 😉
It's so strange to me that allosaurus gets this press of being the baddest theropod of the Jurassic, when both species of Allosaurus in North America and Europe were heavily dwarfed by two different Torvosaurus species.
If a Jurassic Park remake with only Jurassic fauna was produced, the Allosaurus wouldn't be the biggest threat to the protags; it would be the Ceratosaurus, as we'd be a more filling meal for a roughly 1-ton killer as opposed to a 2.5-ton killer.
On the topic of "Jurassic Fight Club" and "Ancient Aliens", "out of the 2 shows, "Ancient Aliens" has had much more longevity, with new episodes still being made and aired!
There actually is an earlier protrayal of Ceratosaurus... one of the first "Dinosaur in the modern day" cryptid tales in "The Monster of Partridge Creek", where a group of people stumble across one hunting cariboo in the Yukon. Interestingly, said Ceratosaurus was covered in hair-like fibers that could be very primative feathers.
I always thought of Jurassic Fight Club as the WWF of dino docs. Watched the whole series once and that was all the brain rot I could stomach! Grew up with WWF and often hung out with Jake "The Snake" Roberts when I was a kid at his mothers private dock where we often visited in the summer. Jake is one of my uncles half brothers and lives at a small lakeside community not far from where I live.
The Ceratosaurs, and to an extension the Abelisaurs, are easily the greatest predatory theropod dinosaurs of all time. They are a group of predators that can easily take over any niche and adapt to it. That's why I always say that out of all of the theropod dinosaurs I would want on my team I would always go for Abelisaurs.
I don't see that association with evil and the devil in my region either. It was not rare to have owls living in your house bellow the roof and I never heard of someone saying it with disgust. People didn't like bats but I think owls were ok. On the other hand specifically the barn owl was associated with witches, like a lot, I think it has roman roots. But I think is just that type of owl. In my head the explanation is that while the rest of the owls here do that cute "uh-uh" noise, the barn owl for some reason decided to do that terrifying screech that it does.
hehe, I am generally in favour of "fights" & sci fi or fantasy fictional use of prehistoric beasts, including dinosaurs, as it can provide a gateway & keeps them in the public consciousness, which is important in all manner of ways. That said, I don't watch much of that, while I do follow quite a few you tube channels akin to this one. I've heard of Ceratosaur abuse from such creators, so by all means, defend against the "bullying" (or misinformation), but personally, I generally do not see it myself, I do not think I ever heard of "dino fight club" before now, for example. And again, I'm not adverse to an occasional flight of fancy or imaginary bloodsport. I actually expected a bit more detail or information on Ceratosaurs! As often though, the artwork you displayed is completely top notch, far above most others. I suspect the bee under your bonnet sabotaged you a bit here!
i liked jurassic fight club for what it had... the fighting. but it really did seem to pick on the ceratosaur as if it were just a small vermin trying to eek out an existence. it honestly seems to be what allosaurus is going through now in media.
The irony is that most large predators avoid combat in general. If you want to be a healthy and capable hunter then your best option is to steer clear of violent encounters. When Prehistoric Planet depicted a T Rex backing down from two Quetzalcoatlus over a kill it felt realistic.
I think it says something that I've seen 2 documentaries that are worse than Jurassic Fight Club. I know, I didn't think it was physically possible either, but here we are!

I think you forgot to mention "When Dinosaurs Roamed America" Ceratosaurus had also been depicted as a evolutionary dead end and was killed by an Allosaurus. We do know the ceratosaurs outlasted the carnosaurs, megalosaurs and spinosaurs in the southern hemisphere as the noasaurids and abelisaurids which goes to show being primitive doesn't always mean a disadvantage.
Here's my initial observation. Ceratosaurus looks like it was primarily a scavenger because its horn structure over the eyes seem to obstruct its forward vision, hindering its depth perception.
..... and in addition way to speak the truth about that BS Jurassic Flight Club and all that History Channel BS Mumbo jumbo.... YOU Dr. P...are setting the record straight truth Warrior
Hyenas, while definitely brutal, being understood as lazy and only opportunistic is something that’s always bothered me. They are, in fact, very intelligent; at least on par with wolves (and many of us live with domesticated wolves and we can see how smart they can be), more accurately equated to meerkats, who they are vaguely related to, but probably with more intellectual capacity. Much like a monkey in many ways.
Ah, Ceratosaurus, the Hyena or Leopard of the Morrison Formation. An excellent vid on one of the most fascinating prehistoric animals of all-time. Btw, Dr Polaris, what's the name of the intro theme you use for your every vid? :)
With tight loops around the base of those ridiculously Small Arms & Proper Saddle, Ceratosaurus would have made one Hellofa Mount, YEE-HAA Ride 'Em Cowboy
Actually, if you wanted the Ceratosaurus to be a Ride the thing to do is put a long Threaded Rod through it's Nostrils & lock it down with ventilated cups each side, with Lanyards on the Long Ends a modest hard pull is going to make that Head turn which ever direction you want, thus make it turn which ever direction you want
Good Sir, I hear & agree with much of your Chain-of-Life philosophy but I must say even though I'm a Physical Laws Realist and do understand somewhat the Food Chain, there's just Something about Those Creepy Spotted Hyenas with their Cowardly Laugh and Thieving Personalities that just gets under my Skin like a Bad Itch you can't get rid of
hahaha , did you know hopping mice ( mini rats) fight just like kangaroos apart for the angry tail twitching I had a couple duking it out on the lush feeding grounds tundra of my caravan carpet /floor during dinner the other night they can dive into a pile of rocks about 10 to 15 times there body length ,
Ceratosaurus: "Finally! Someone loves me! I am sick and tired of media disrespecting me and my kin! I'm telling ya, they've always been jealous of me and my beautiful crest. We crested theropods getting out shined by T rex is bad enough, but being called 'primitive' and 'evolutionary failures'? This propaganda has gone far enough and we crested carnivores shall stand it no longer!"
I loved jurassic fight club as a kid but it's still not great nor good in terms of facts becuase ik a lot of the shit they said made no sense but the dinosaur fighting was cool
I don't mind do osaurs being designed to look cool but the navy seal hand gestures was one of the comically dumb things in the show and lol feather fan boys can be just as obnoxious as the awesomebros

We do know the ceratosaurs outlasted the carnosaurs, megalosaurs and spinosaurs in the southern hemisphere as the noasaurids and abelisaurids which goes to show being primitive doesn't always mean a disadvantage.
The binome primitive/modern should be erased from biology and paleontology and basal/derived should be used instead. Makes no sense to implie that something older is worse than something new because all live on earth apeared at the same time, they have been "evolving" the same amount of time. But if you would like to use the human made artificial division of taxonomy as universal and consider genera as an unit, it would make even less sense. An older genera would have endured more selective preasure than a younger one and if they have not changed much over time that would mean they are very well adapted, not the oposite.
Technically, Ceratosaurians actually outlasted the Allosaurids with the Abelisaurs surviving right up to the K-T mass extinction.
Exactly! As I said, being more basal is no impediment to success.
@@dr.polaris6423 Yeah, bugs, snails and other such critters seem plenty successful. Then there are bacteria.
Something something overspecializing? Physicist in me wanting to say "Outcome is determined by all inputs".

Wtf, Ceratosaurus is awesome. BTW, Allosaurus didn't make it out alive either.
I'd much rather be approached by an allosaurus over a ceratosaurus. I probably look a lot more tasty due to the size ratio.
Eh, Jurassic Fight Club is more Deadliest Warrior than Ancient Aliens. Albeit they made things up even more than Deadliest Warrior did.
Poor poor crato
Giving the business to "Dinosaur" George. Lol.
Good Sir, I hear & agree with much of your Chain-of-Life philosophy but I must say even though I'm a Physical Laws Realist and do understand somewhat the Food Chain, there's just Something about Those Creepy Spotted Hyenas with their Cowardly Laugh and Thieving Personalities that just gets under my Skin like a Bad Itch you can't get rid of
hahaha , did you know hopping mice ( mini rats) fight just like kangaroos apart for the angry tail twitching I had a couple duking it out on the lush feeding grounds tundra of my caravan carpet /floor during dinner the other night they can dive into a pile of rocks about 10 to 15 times there body length ,
Why no mention of Snax? Snax was the king of the Jurassic
Ceratosaurus: "Finally! Someone loves me! I am sick and tired of media disrespecting me and my kin! I'm telling ya, they've always been jealous of me and my beautiful crest. We crested theropods getting out shined by T rex is bad enough, but being called 'primitive' and 'evolutionary failures'? This propaganda has gone far enough and we crested carnivores shall stand it no longer!"
Cows kill more people than sharks.
(Cows hardly ever kill sharks)
Ark ceratosaurus is cool.and not overly weak but realism fanboys might not like the design lol
I’d say this beast is a total badass killer terrifying murder machine, rather than a biological failure. 😳😳😳😳
Also has best horrifying face features. 🏆😳
It was not a killing machine it was animal.
I guess being horny isn't always evolutionarily advantageous.
wait i thought owls were associated with wisdom and night time in Western cultures?
I loved jurassic fight club as a kid but it's still not great nor good in terms of facts becuase ik a lot of the shit they said made no sense but the dinosaur fighting was cool
I don't mind do osaurs being designed to look cool but the navy seal hand gestures was one of the comically dumb things in the show and lol feather fan boys can be just as obnoxious as the awesomebros
"Ceratosaurus DESTROYED by AWFUL documentary" - this video but clickbait
allosaurboi?
I think you forgot to mention "When Dinosaurs Roamed America" Ceratosaurus had also been depicted as a evolutionary dead end and was killed by an Allosaurus. We do know the ceratosaurs outlasted the carnosaurs, megalosaurs and spinosaurs in the southern hemisphere as the noasaurids and abelisaurids which goes to show being primitive doesn't always mean a disadvantage.
The binome primitive/modern should be erased from biology and paleontology and basal/derived should be used instead. Makes no sense to implie that something older is worse than something new because all live on earth apeared at the same time, they have been "evolving" the same amount of time.
But if you would like to use the human made artificial division of taxonomy as universal and consider genera as an unit, it would make even less sense. An older genera would have endured more selective preasure than a younger one and if they have not changed much over time that would mean they are very well adapted, not the oposite.
