The honest fact that them acting like real animals is scarier than the movies. Imagine be time traveled back to the hell creek formation 66.8 mya and having a 10 ton 12-13 meter T.rex get within 30-40 meters of you silently due to the pads on their feet cushioning their steps and the infasound rumbling/bellowing that they would actually made.
@@wetube6513 true, if we could go back in time everyone would be shitting themselves over an adult T.Rex when we’re just as likely if not more so to get gored by a trike or trampled by a pissed off Anatitotitan. I’d be more fearful of juvie rexes or dakotaraptors who we would be on the menu for, but an adult rex probably wouldn’t even bother. We’re not enough meat to justify running down. Herbies are just as dangerous and territorial, even more that carnivores, since even today elephants and hippos kill more people than lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, etc combined barring Nile crocs who do kill similar numbers of people.
I absolutely adore this amazing Qianzhousaurus design in Prehistoric Planet, it looks pretty beautiful with the mixtures of browns, orange and light tan for the stripes, it looks pretty amazing and somewhat detailed in my opinion. It’s great to have dinosaurs never been used in any media before and I appreciate of what they do here and I like how they do more new dinosaur species in the future.
The Qianzhousaurus is the most impressive dinosaur in this video, but its prey also deserves some mention. It's a Corythoraptor, a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur from late Cretaceous Southern China, discovered in the same region as Qianzhousaurus.
It’s funny how wrong they got the paleobotany though, southern China forests are mostly subtropical broadleaf evergreen even _today_ in a much colder climate, let alone in the Maastrichtian, and yet they have them in what would be a Cretaceous polar forest environment
@@chir0pter Yes I agree with you, thanks for bringing that up. They got the dinosaurs right but the climate and vegetation wrong. Southern China during the Cretaceous was quite hot and dry, and had a typical subtropical climate.
@@weifan9533 I dunno about dry! If you refer to the Nemegt that was a rain shadowed endorheic basin that was also more to the interior. But anyway the forest they show in the show is something that would have occurred in the Siberian High Arctic or in subpolar mountains
@@weifan9533 It's an interesting idea but you can't extrapolate patterns from today's icehouse climate and atmospheric circulation directly to the Cretaceous hothouse. Models and paleobotany show that the hyperarid midlatitude deserts of today like the Sahara and Namibia didn't exist in warmer climates of the mid-Miocene; they were still dryer but monsoonal. Also I see some lakes in China in the 'hot and dry' belt and plus paleolakes depend on topography, as someone pointed out, and also whether there are appropriate rock exposures today. Like there's a reason why mesozoic Laramidian organisms are much better known than Appalachian; the eastern US is covered in dirt and trees! In the end I would want to hunt down any paleobotany and paleosol studies of the formation these dinosaurs were found in.
You know if this was Jurassic world it would be lipless, shrink-wraped, have pronated wrists, and would be constantly roaring at everything that moves, good job Prehistoric Planet for make these animals look and act like actual animals.
the 1st jurassic park was the only good movie sure the dinosaur looks are outdated but that’s scientists thought what dinosaurs looked like at the time so it’s excusable the first 2 sequels are mid but the current jurassic world movies are just bad with the same old models they didn’t even bother
Only thing I can think of that'd be able to be compared to this is the opening scene in Fallen Kingdom, when the Trex pulled off a sneak surprise on the guy. That was one of my favorite scene from that movie!
I have a tattoo of this animal on my forearm. The Qianzhousaurus sinensis was a beautiful alioramin theropod and I'm so glad that it is receiving greater media attention.
Is anyone else infatuated with both these dinosaurs? The vibrant blue on the Corythoraptor’s is stunning, as well as the stripe of blue on its body, and the touch of orange on its crest. And Qianzhousaurus has a great contrast with the dark red and yellow stripes. They even color-contrast with each other! Awesome!
I could see why someone would mistake it for an allosaurus, but I could tell it was a qianzhousaurus from the trailer. Also an allosaurus would have been about 100 million years extinct already by this time
@@Tabi-Kun yeah, I didn’t realise that the the show was only covering the end of the Cretaceous and I’m not all that familiar with Tyrannosaurs outside of T. rex.
What I love about this documentary is how some large carnivorous dinosaurs blend in with trees and bushes just to ambush their preys. Making them like lions, leopards, and tigers in our current timeline.
Southern China would've been an oviraptorid paradise at this time. Besides corythoraptor, there are 7 other species of oviraptorids and counting. Qianzhousaurus had a good variety to choose from.
I've noticed the trees don't look too prehistorical and looks quite modern but I won't question this masterpiece it seems like you guys know what you're doing
Putting aside what was already mentoned (Gigkos are among the oldest tree lineages), by the Late Cretaceous forests were basically modern, with flowering plant groups like oaks and magnolias already present.
The Qianzhousaurus is basically like the South China tiger of the Cretaceous. Because it is a medium-sized predator, has stripes, lives in East Asia, and is an ambush predator.
TBH, I kinda like this Prehistoric Planet Qianzhousaurus, I also like Jurassic World: Evolution Qianzhousaurus too! I learned it was a Tyrannosaurid, since it has two fingers, and also has ridges, and has a slightly thin build, JWE/JWE2 Qianzhousaurus would have the two fingers and ridges and the slender build.
Whenever a new film-making technology comes to be, dinosaurs are among the first things depicted with it. The oldest animated film is of a dinosaur, stop motion was immediately used for dinosaurs, and of course Jurassic Park's incredible blend of revolutionary CGI and practical effects. And now, top notch CGI was used for Prehistoric Planet
Yes, deciduous forest already exist in the Cretaceous. These are probably stand in for ginkgos and basal angiosperms trees that shed their leaves during fall
I love this episode but I’m having a hard time believing that a creature that big, that blue and appears to roam in groups, can possibly survive in nature. Realistically. I’m not against the idea I’m just saying it doesn’t seem logical
they weren't big (80 pounds) and they were extremely fast. They also lived in groups as you say, and bright colors may help to attract a mate. So it's 100% plausible. I mean, look at male peacocks, they die way more often than their female counterparts and their plumage is a complete disadvantage but they still evolved it. So it's totally fine IMO.
There is also the fact that during mating seasons many species of modern bird shed their feathers and grow more vivid colored ones to attract mates (peacock, Paradise birds) The bluish feathers instead of year long camouflage is thus not completely implausible in this case. But yeah with colors like these Qian didn't have to search long
Alioramus was extinct by that point. Some do speculate that Qianzhousaurus is actually a third species of Alioramus, but that’s yet to be properly confirmed or debunked.
@@thatkidwiththehoodie Alioramus wasn’t extinct at that point, it lived during the late Maastrichtian which is the very end of the Cretaceous and when PP takes place, and since Tarbosaurus, Deinocheirus, Therizinosaurus all have their segments on the show then Alioramus could’ve appeared too since they’re all from the Nemegt Formation.
There are still dinosaurs around today. They're the avian dinosaurs, aka birds. Birds are dinosaurs, and there were birds that lived during the Mesozoic. They survived the K-Pg mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous and they flourished and diversified. They thrive to this day.
@@jacobcox4565 You are most correct about that. Birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. You can see some of the genetic similarities they have to them. Komodo dragons may be related to them as well. And they are still here with us.
@@matthewparker8607 Birds aren't just descendants of dinosaurs, they *are* dinosaurs, they're taxonomically classified as dinosaurs. Also, Komodo Dragons aren't dinosaurs, they're lizards, which aren't even that closely related to dinosaurs. Birds are the only dinosaurs left and crocodilians are the closest non-dinosaur relatives to dinosaurs currently.
Man they really f#cked up the paleobotany in this series. Qianzhousaurus lived in a region that is _today_ a subtropical broadleaf evergreen forest and it was only _warmer_ in the Maastrichtian, yet here they have it in a polar deciduous forest 🤣🤣🤣
They never said that this was the Nanxiong formation. As today large animals, a dinosaur species surely didn't live in a single biome. A tiger or a deer can be found from tropical rainforests to cold taiga environments.
@@risingmagpie9199 That's a lot of special pleading...I'll have to watch the full context but they say "top predator in these Asiatic forests" and since the bulk of Asiatic forests were not deciduous and polar, and since Qianzhousaurus is known from subtropical regions, I think a parsimonious explanation is they were not imagining some polar forest.

Qianzhousaurus what a name for a dinosaur 😂 I would never be able to say it without hearing in this documentary
This reminds me of the scene in Walking with Beast where the Gastornis is stalking a herd of small horses.
The way the Qianzhousaurus portrays as tigers. Even it has stripes to blend in the woods.
