@dankiodesoiza6461 My dear Sir, I am in complete agreement with u r.e the information ℹ️ that is in the video, & I really do wish that I could have lived when the dinosaurs 🦖 lived, & thus maybe I could have saved at least some of them from destruction & death ☠️ by mankind-who is nothing but a very horrible being & who desires to Murder & completely eliminate all of the animals & the dinosaurs 🦕 from this earth 🌍 ,& of course, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to do anything to the animals, nor to the dinosaurs 🦖 ❤😢😢😢😢😢😊
There’s more giants out there. Megalosaurids. I wish you’d cover these 2: Giant French Megalosaur and the Unnamed Spanish Megalosaur (both likely the same) And could you cover the Megalosaurus Ingens and the other likely same Megalosauridae indeterminate.
I really appreciate videos like this. Highlighting specimens that have not yet been formally described is very important for public attention and future research
@Yuuzhanvongg In my opinion, no. There is a known giant back vertebra CMN 50403, the owner of which, according to my calculations, must have been much larger, ~ 7.3 tons
Now that I'm in my mid 40s and have watched some of the most dramatic changes in paleontology, feathers, flight, soft tissue, modern techniques/technology, I remember when it was 3 dinosaurs as household names. Then came, for good or ill, Jurassic Park with it bringing more science to the fore. Now it's regular we are discovering a new species or new classification and the information from around the world is amazing. Does there need to be more in terms of ethics, laws, education, and money procurement? Yes. But it's well on its way.
It is truly amazing how much we know now. I’m the roughly same age as you, and it’s really shocking how far we’ve come (and still have no idea about so much!). All my favorite books growing up still had illustrations from Charles Knight and the really old school view of dinosaurs as lumbering behemoths, sauropods just stood in large bodies of water all day, and the theropods dragging their tails. I’ve had so many things I thought I knew turn out to be wrong. But that’s the beauty of science…I love being wrong, because that means we learned something new and we are closer to the truth.
Even if it's an inside joke I'd love to hear people call it "Kasai Rex" because newer depictions of this famous African cryptid portray it as a giant Abelisaurid that could've hunted rhinos and elephants
How different is the mid cretaceous Brachiosarids in comparison to the late Jurassic globally? How much have changed before the Titanosaurs complete takeover?
The bit of music you have at the start gives me the feeling of the bit of intermission music between informational screens during the Jurassic Park slide show in the hatchery/lab. Which is great, with the theme of your channel.
There is a book im sure you know of by Dean Lomax, Dinosaurs of the british isles. Its very informative if a little heavy for casual reading, possibly a small series or longish video in the 'walking with' style based on british dinosaur/marine reptile from the whole of the Mesozoic? in particular the cretaceous as the exact condition of the uk and what parts were above sea level when is somewhat hard to track down.
Did we have any dinosaurs that would feel the nitch of the wolverine small but mean as hell would challenge a t rex or allosaur for their kills wolverines have been known to challenge wolves bears for their kills
Hold on a second. Why do dinosaurs seem to get less cool as time goes on? The T-rex arms were once useful, then it was, no, they just kept them folded inward against the chest, not completely useless though. . . Wait what? Not completely useless you say? Well from now on, we gonna say they were folded back towards his tail the whole time. NOW say something! If we need T rex arms to be useless, useless is what they be - full stop.
I don't know why, but The formation where Titanovenator lived in reminded me of the Kallamedu Formation in idea where almost every dinosaur doens't have a name. The Kallamedu Formation does have two dinosaurs that have proper names, but one of them Fusioolithus which is a Morphotaxon I think and Bruhathkayosaurus is well prob the most controversial dinosaur to ever exist
Speaking of phylogenetic bracketing/ educated guesses… This thing is unlikely to have had the hip height proportions of Majungasaurus, since Majungasaurus had been evolving isolated on Madagascar for almost 20 million years since it became an island about 90ish million years ago. Majungasaurus had some of the shortest legs of any Abelisaur and it happened to be the most isolated Abelisaur, meaning its unique traits were likely very unique. Our ”giant hunter” likely had a length of legs similar to the other African abelisaurs, which weren’t any brachyrostrans related to Carnotaurus (the real spindly one). The hip height on the kenyan giant wouldn’t have been on the high end of abelisaurs, but not quite as short as Majungasaurus… Probably.
Wasn't the rule of Nomenclature, if any name firstly written or popularized by public domain that's the name a genus would be given? Surely, Titanovenator will be an appropriate and meaningful name for this Kenyan Titan.
No, the animal must be officially described and catalogued, which is not a case here . . . . YET! "Titanovenator" is a mere 'placeholder' made up on a 'go', basically. For example, the same case are the giant pliosaur "Predator X" and the giant brachiosaurid "Archbishop". Again, these two are obviously mere placeholder (nick-)names of 'as-yet-undescribed' specimens which, in addition, can never even be officially used since those aren't Latin nor latinized words, but as opposed to them, Titanovenator could potentially be really used one day in the future as an official registered name of its given genus and THAT unwittingly confuses people like yourself here. If its placeholder nickname was instead "Megabite" or "Ghost-face Killah", for example, I'm pretty sure that you would not be typing here now about "rules of Nomenclature" and such. 🙂
Man, it was meant to be a little bit hyperbolic. You cannot take everything people happen to utter literally. It's like when someone proclaims, "Damn! It's so bloody hot! I'd kill for a pint of cold beer right now". The person, of course, does not mean for real that they'd take someone out in order to have a refreshing drink. :)
Abelisaurids are such an underrated group. Great video, mate

Wow I just thought of this creature when watching lions in Kenya. Mike
6:43 what about rugops?
Great video, It’s always nice when abelisaurids reach the limelight

Wish this Abelisauroid Theropod doesn't turn out to be a Sauropod or even worse a Stump.
😀 😀 😀 + 😞
I can see what you're hinting at. It pains me too.
Interesting revelation!
(3:19) The size of the scapula/shoulder blade is massive, astonishing!!! WOW!!! 😲 😲 😲
Your accompaniment would make 2001 Space Odyssey proud.
Amazing video! Been waiting for someone on Paleotube to make a video on this!
Well, thank you for providing this - highly appreciated!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 😃
Imagine Megaraptoran mocking the Abelisaurs when they meet
Over the size of their forelimbs? :)
Hey. Thanks for answering my question. Your videos are always super fun and simple and I love their format.
"Simple"?
The Titanovenator's reconstructed skull is 99 cm long. Based on my GDI model, this giant was ~ 4,7 tons.
Jesus christ, that's a BIG boy. 😮
Is that the biggest abelisaurid?
@Yuuzhanvongg In my opinion, no. There is a known giant back vertebra CMN 50403, the owner of which, according to my calculations, must have been much larger, ~ 7.3 tons
@@kittenworld87 Would you elaborate further? I am genuinely interested
@@kittenworld87what type of abelisaurid did you use for the GDI, a majungasaurine or a carnotaurine?
Great lesson the other day 😅 in PDP looking forward to next lesson
Man id the whole ecosystem had late Cretaceous spinosaurids that is something that truly needs more research
Hahaha, I made a cameo(the Carnegie volunteer mentioned and creator of “Titanovenator.”
Nomen nudum noodles are my favourite

@Tyrannosaurine I do not see now anyone couldn't view science as beautiful. It's just amazing seeing what the human mind can do and accomplish.

I do remember hearing about this one! A giant Abelisaurid would indeed be quite a sight, especially if it had longer legs!
Even if it's an inside joke I'd love to hear people call it "Kasai Rex" because newer depictions of this famous African cryptid portray it as a giant Abelisaurid that could've hunted rhinos and elephants
That spinosaur fragment now belongs to a crocodilian.
Sure?

cool
Did we have any dinosaurs that would feel the nitch of the wolverine small but mean as hell would challenge a t rex or allosaur for their kills wolverines have been known to challenge wolves bears for their kills
So on top of a giant abelisaurid we now have evidence of Dryosaurids and and Spinosaurids potentially surviving up to the KT extinction?
Not really, they found out it actually belonged toa crocodile.
So cool
Trex: You can't defeat me
Spinosaurus: I know but he can

How about the beginning of SNAKES ..NO for arms to speak of . Rear legs could possibly become spurs on snakes

It's not "kept from the public". It's that rigorous scientific discipline has to be undergone before we make conclusions about such things.
Man, it was meant to be a little bit hyperbolic. You cannot take everything people happen to utter literally.
