Belive it or not, this video is our second longest production EVER, we first started the script for it in September of 2023. Super happy to finally have this video out!
@@extraordinarytv5451fun fact about this particular choice of music. It’s from the Alpha’s Egg episode, which featured two so called “Carcharodontosaurus” however, we now know that those dinosaurs were actually megaraptors named Aerosteon, which kinda ties into this video!
Really enjoyed getting to bring this animal to life through the size animation, fun fact: the design was from a nightmarish dream I had of a pack of Maips, hunting in the dark Argentine forest.
Some of the body design reminds me of Spinosaurids, minus the taller spine and crocodilian-like skull. (How it holds itself is what reminds me of them) The large claw placement is the most interesting aspect of both Spinosaurids and Mega-Raptors. So maybe they are sister-clades with a common ancestor. 1 evolves with a crocodilian style skull and taller spine, while the other evolves without, with both more than likely keeping the claw design and placement from their ancestor. Of course it could be a random case of convergent evolution similar to Troodon's and Dromaeosaurids toe claw.
This video is fantastically mafe. The script is good, the music chosen to accompany it and when it is used is perfect, the coverage on just about as much Maip material as there is, all of it. To get such high quality for my favorite dinosaur is a real treat.👍🏽🤝🏽
Hi there, fellow dinosaur enthusiast here. I just wanted to share with Epoch Now and everyone else here that I have a “hypothesis” on how megacarnivores were spread out during the Campanian-Maastrictian of South America. From southern Brazil to northern Argentina, it seems that brachyrostran abelisaurids were dominant, with barusuchid notosuchians filling the “mesopredator” niche. In central Argentina/northern Patagonia, the barusuchids are no longer present, but derived megaraptorans, brachyrostran abelisaurs, and the giant Austroraptor are present. Then in southern Patagonia, close to Antarctica, there appears to only be giant derived megaraptorans. Inspiration for this mostly comes from the Campanian-Maastrichtian fossil sites in the area, and how the mega carnivore assemblages are represented. I was also inspired by Ben G Thomas’s video on megaraptorans. I could of course be wrong, due to the nature of fossil discovery and the fact that we never have a truly complete picture of an area at that time period. But I would like to hear anyone’s thoughts on this “hypothesis”. P.S., I put quotes around hypothesis because even I am suggesting this in a hypothetical manner, I feel that I should stress that I’m not a certified paleontologist. And I put quotes around mesopredator because in modern environments a typical mesopredator is something between the size of coyote/jackal to a cat. But in the Mesozoic, that would be animals between the size of a wolf to a polar bear 😅.
Hola, hermano Americano. 👋 🇦🇷 Thank you for honouring our country with this new species that I didn't even knew about. One thing... you pronounce "Chorillo" as you would pronounce Chinese. Thank you for this marvellous video 👍 Saludos
Haha yes I found out about the pronunciation a little bit too late and was unable to change it unfortunately. But will remember it for the next time we cover an animal from this formation! And we are happy to do it! Argentina has a lot of breathtaking dinosaurs that we love to talk about! And we will continue making videos on them in the future 😁
Congratulations on the video on Maip, my friend! Someday in the future, maybe you can make other videos on other Megaraptorians, like Fukuiraptor, Australovenator, and Megaraptor, respectively. And we need to give Maip and the other megaraptorians some attention for paleomedia.
The coelurosaurs pretty much went in two different directions in the northern and southern hemispheres. In the north, the tyrannosaurs went with big, robust heads, powerful jaws and small arms. While in the south, the Megaraptorids went with relatively small heads, weak jaws and powerful forearms with giant claws.
This video was great, learned so much about maip in this one. My only question is what is maip fighting? It looks like Carnotorus the horned Dino and in this video it’s not mentioned that it did live in the same time period or was accidentally put in it. I’d like to know if carno did live in that time period or not cause I’m not sure on the time if carno did complete with maip or not.
Thank you for the comment! the documentary here is using a bit of creative liberty, in that, while Carno did overlap in time, it did not overlap in territory as far as we know. the documentary is just extrapolating, but it is a carno! hope that helps!
Very nice video! Some suggestions of improvement: you are talking a bit fast for non-native english speakers to comprehend both the translationative and the informative data. Maybe consider talking just a bit slower. I really liked the content tho! I consider myself a dinosaur geek, but my knowledge of Maip was thar i know it existed. So thanks. 🎉
Great channel I just stumbled upon it. I produce similar Dino content and publish Prehistoric Magazine three times per yr. If you ever need free advertising for your TH-cam channel in my prehistoric magazine happy to offer that. Mike
Thank you for the kind words, Mike! We would be honored to have a spot on your prehistoric magazine! Thank you so much for offering this to us! We really appreciate it!
Awesome video! I love seeing Maip in channels like this! Thanks a lot
Thank you very much! We're honored to have such kind words from the man who discovered and named the largest Megaraptoran ever found!
Belive it or not, this video is our second longest production EVER, we first started the script for it in September of 2023. Super happy to finally have this video out!
And it was super worth it! 😃
That was a beautiful video of even more beautifully dinosaur. Megaraptors are definitely one of my top 5 favorite dinosaurs.
“M-Maip? Did you say you have a Maip?”
Epoch Now: “Yeah.”
“Say it again….”
Epoch Now: “We have a Maip”
Epoch Now: “Maip”. Rango: “WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME???”
You're a real one for using that Dinosaur Planet OST.
The nostalgia in these videos in insane😂

Great video! Some minor nitpicks, but still well researched and informative. Let’s go Megaraptoran supremacy!

This was amazing!!!!
U got a sub. Also Tales of Kaimere was where i first heard of these dinosaurs. And now they might be my fav Theropods

Fantastic video! Maip is definitely one of my new favorite Megaraptorids and I’m so glad we got to cover it!
Great video guys! Btw its "thief" not theif" in 1:50 LOL
I'm Hoping Maip-Macrothorax is going to appear in JWE3
VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO!!!!
Maip is now my new favorite carnivorous dinosaur of all time.
My favorite dinosaur of all time!

How did I just find out about you guys?! I really love your videos!
@@SiamSentin3l thank you!!!!
This is my new favorite dinosaur
Rocking that Teostra theme, I see.
Such a good video man
Cant wait til PNSO makes a figure of this animal.
Maip fav Dinosaur next to Fukuiraptor megaraptor and Australovenator

I really hope more fossils are found in the Chorrillo formation sine I really want to know what other creatures Maip lived alongside.

We’d love to! Megaraptors are super awesome!
Indeed they are! And thank you for the reply.
@@louiemercado5595 any time!
Really awesome vide
@@matiasdominguez3433 thank you!
i mean the name is literally 'shadow of death'
This is HEAT🔥🔥🔥🔥

While in the south, the Megaraptorids went with relatively small heads, weak jaws and powerful forearms with giant claws.
What do you think drove these adaptations? Was it primarily prey availability, competition, or like environmental factors?
@@AncientWildTV It’s probably a mix of all 3 as is true for most things in biology.
omg dude I repeated the exact same thing the video said gib attention plz
@@AncientWildTV
What Jeremiah said, all of the above.
I love playing as a maip in path if titans so ibwanted to look up and learn more about it
hope you enjoyed learning about it! 😁

Love You maip
would be awesome if creative beast studio made a figure based on this dino
Do Siats next please.
Pot shout out NICE
Night feeder?
WHERE, WHERE IS THAT FAMILY PACK HUNTING SEQUENCE FROM

Do smilodon and australopithecus
nice
Is that a sticknodes version of Maip you’re using?
yes
@@Epoch_Now :0 is it on the site or private?
@@TrainLizard unfortunately it is a private stick. Sorry about that
@@Epoch_Now aw man :(

Make a video on the largest land carnivore after the dinosaur the land crocodile sebecades❤❤❤
Can you please do the American Lion next
@@HeiseiEdits-y7u American lion is on our list for sure! We’ll see when we can work it into the schedule!
@@Epoch_NowGreat

@@nichturley2253 in the history of discovery yup!
Nah you using the MH World Teostra theme is based
