Fun fact: A recent theory says that Pteranodon might have caught fish by swimming rather than flying; it would fly over the ocean, spot a shoal of fish and then dive in and swim around to snatch the fish up.
How would it take off again? Seabirds have webbed feet and proportionately much stronger hind legs than pterosaurs with which to push off from the water. For a pterosaur type catapult launch you need solid ground.
@@sockmonkey6666 Seabirds lift off by flapping typically; the pterodactyloid arms are hugely powerful and extremely webbed, and would work fine as paddles both for swimming and for launching. Water is basically solid if you hit it hard and flat enough.
@@B-System Liquids are incompressible, but they can be easily displaced, which is the problem. If you hit water hard enough to not displace it, you're going to hurt yourself.
ARK is a popular dino-related video game at the moment, and while they take artistic license in a lot of their models, and often don't necessarily aim for historical accuracy all the time, you will also have animations to critique rather than a static piece of plastic. Would be interesting as much of your analysis is often backed by the ideas of how these things moved. Saurian is another example (of which you may of heard about), however they're trying to keep as accurate as possible. Love these videos and so glad I found them, especially interesting to find out what is actually correct in some of these tiny plastic toys! I understand the animation budget doesn't go far, but animations of your final 'paper-cut-out' corrections (a walking ptero) would be awesome as a visual aid! 10/10 will be watching these all dino vids as distraction from writing a thesis.
Path of Titans is a newcomer on the block, but I really love them. It's a roleplay game, so there's a blurry mix of scientific accuracy and "just cool," but honestly I recommend them just for that :P
Umm...I gotta admit as a bit of a dinosaur/paleontological geek, when you said, "If you don't know what a teratorn is...what are you doing with your life?"....I had to laugh.
I also suspect that many of these toy manufacturers don't make the molds themselves but probably buy them off of a third party that's probably been making molds from the same masters for decades. The makers of these small little toys probably don't really care much, if any, about accuracy and want to spend the least amount of time, effort, and money on them as possible so they probably reuse the same old molds over and over again instead of making new masters to pull molds from.
I really love everything about these videos - the information, the animations, the delivery, and the obvious love that went into them. I also love the shaddap you face reference.
I have fond memories of having these little rubber pteranodons with their wings outstretched and I'd hold on to them and shake them around in a way that I thought looked like they were flapping their wings (in reality, it looked more like I was some weird kid who was shaking a little rubber toy). Good times, good times.
I learned a lot here :D 3 years ago, when I was app 65 years old , I saw the light and bought a book about dinos, and saw I have A LOT to learn . The more I learn, the more stupid I feel . So thanks for bringing me a step forward ;-)
A review of a pteranodon instead of a pterodactyl is just as cool! Many thanks for covering our suggestion. My wife is a primary school teacher here in Australia and she has introduced this series to her year 3/4 students. They love it :-) BTW, it seems you couldn't get the pteranodon parachuting onto the desk intro to work huh?
6:00 Vampire bats launch themselves in a similar manner, using their forelimbs more than their hindlimbs, whereas avian theropod dinosaurs use their strongly muscled legs exclusively to get airborne.
It looks like the toy maker got his/her inspiration from the classic trench-coat-wearing flasher (or the Toho Kaiju, Rodan) as opposed to an actual Pteranodon. LOL
My mind created an extremely terrifying image when you said it could "catapult" itself into the air. Like I just imagine this freaky sorta monkey leap that flings the animal into the air and then it unfolds and starts flapping away. That's probably not even remotely accurate, but good god do I wanna see it in a film or game or something. LOL XD
Or, when we account for the _Dimetrodon_ episode, it should be _Your Amniotes Are Wrong_ . (Amniotes include the common ancestor of mammals, bird and reptiles, and all of its descendants - or, alternatively, any vertebrate that isn't a fish or amphibian.)
As these videos grow in number, or the series is close to finished, please make them available on DVD on sale through the geek group. I know plenty of young persons (and older ones) that would very much enjoy a professionally made DVD with an excellent menu and extra research material that they can lookup to satiate further knowledge quests. Also please explain the origin of the safety Dinosaur. I think I remember Chris talking about it in some blog in 2011, but a refresher would be great.
Absolutely. Freaking. LOVE. The TARDIS sound for the beginning! Love, LOVE, _LOVE_ it! Did I mention that I loved the use of the TARDIS sound? Because I really loved it! ❤❤
Ik u probably all know this but the way the theory of them launching themselves of the ground works by them having a large tendon down the middle of the wing where it folds when lands and when they take off the throw their feet forward first then the tendon quickly spings back into its flight position propelling itself off the ground with its strong muscles at high speeds
11:28 From what I've heard/seen/read being argued by scientists, that's not actually true, but is an idea spread by an artist named David Peters, as I said though, the actual researchers disagree with him. Unless I misinterpreted what their issue was with Peters' ideas on pterosaurs, which I admit could also be possible.
"If you don't know what a teratorn is, what are you doing with your life?" Must civilians would be insulted by this remark, Steverino In me, you have earned mucho respect and muy admiration You beleaguered geek
you, sir, just solved a fictional problem. yes, yes, I meant a fictional one, cause I have abandoned writing a project some time ago and watching this thing just gave me a heck of an "aha"- moment. ....take on me :D
1:28 Apparently, the word "archosaur" is derived from "arcus temporalis", which is a part of the skull (an arch at the temples) - I have no idea what the "h" is doing there. "Arkhos" would be way cooler though. The "kh" is pronounced like the "ch" in the Scottish "loch".
I think there’s other reason why Pteranodon is assumed to be a dinosaur, because, unlike Dimetrodon, Pteranodon lived during the same period of some dinosaurs, so I think it's understandable to put Pterosaurs in the same category.
I thought Pigeons do the whole lift off the ground using their wings in the same way? When they are frightened and have to get out of the way they can fly directly upright so is this possibly the same method? There are slow motion videos of it on youtube to look at if it's right/wrong
I suppose the posture is supposed to be a compromise between flying and standing, to make it more versatile to play with. Which I can understand the desire to do, but it's a shame that it can't really be done (without moving parts) without sacrificing so much accuracy.
Interesting that you said nothing alive took off the ground like a pteranodon, with its forelimbs. Something does: bats! I know this video is 7.5 years old, and I can't recall when the article I read about bat takeoff vs bird takeoff was written, but it was VERY insightful and addressed prehistoric flying reptile/archosaur takeoff.
Am i the only one that watches these videos and silently hypes up over the new isle update coming out. I do love these videos for other reasons though, I don't know much about them but I do love dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals.
Although I like that Steven Bellettini made a Jonny Quest reference, I don't think their Pteranodon had teeth- they look more like serrations on the beak, akin to a Sour Crowla or what I've read Pelagornis had (although the latter was a while ago).
When you said metacarpals at 3:06, didn't you mean phalanges? Because as far as I know, metacarpals don't shoot out of the arm individually but fingers do haha
Sorry if you've done it already (I only just found your channel) - but I'd love if you'd do Quetzalcoatlus specifically Despite them being my absolute favorite, I don't know much about them, and I'd love for you to point out all the little inaccuracies or good representations out there so I can be rest assured I'm doing as accurate a job as possible if I were to attempt drawing one ^^
Were azdarcids (i have no idea how to spell it) but you know hatzegoptertx and all that, did they have the same muscular build and the ability to just fly away without any environmental help?
Pteranodon (and all Pterosaurs) aren't dinosaurs, but rather reptiles that evolved to have wings and fly. (I know he said this in the video but I just don't like how most of society call them Dinosaurs)
I just thought, it might strike that pose to attempt to scare off smaller predators by making itself look bigger. Birds often use the bluff strategy, so why couldn’t a Pteranodon or other Pterosaurs? It is just a thought exercise, but it’s an interesting thought.
The rounded wing tip is actually news to me after watching this. Does the rounded wing tip apply to all Pterosaurs? Like Rhamphorynchus? Never seen it depicted that way.
@@jackarmstrong8790 the older ones are. The newer ones... Not really. Also, the mega dinosaurs are kinda stupid with their massive feet and stubby tails
At least this toy has its head forward, mine has it head stuck sideways so I can't pretend it eating or drinking with smashing it's eyeball only into something
Could you compare the real Leedsichthys to that of the one that Wild Card Studios portrays in their Survival game Ark? I that its a Pachycormidae and not a Dinosaur/Sauropod, I also wanted to see if you could find one of those cheap dino toys for it like you do in your vids.
Could you potentially do Tupuxuara? (This is the only pterosaur genus aside from Banguela, Ornithocheirus and Hatzegopteryx that have been made as a toy)
"what have you been doing with your life?!" Living it, surviving (sometimes) trying not to get into too many fights as the little skill I have in blade weapons kind of doesn't make me bullet-proof. Sorry I wasn't cool enough to know about your vultures
I also didnt know this. Everything else I knew but rounded wings (at least the roundness of the wings portrayed in this video) was actually surprising.
i play a game called ark: survival evolved. im sure most of you have heard of it and im sure you yourself has heard of it or even played it. when i watch your videos i start realize how scientifically correct alot of the dino's in the game are. i see alot of very small features that i had no idea about that you have brought to my attention are in the game as well. i just would like to know what you think about the dinosaurs on the game and what parts they got right and what parts they got horribly wrong. love your videos, thank you.
and forgive me if im using the term dinosaur wrong. i don't know as much as i would like to about prehistoric animals hence why i watch your videos lmao
I propose that scientists make pterodactyl an official alternate name for any pterosaur more closely related to pterodactylus than any other pterosaur lol.
So I must ask, how far away from dinosaurs are you willing to go on this show? When I think of this show, I remember a toy Moropus that a child showed me once that literally looked like a green kangaroo.
Brontosaurus was considered to actually be the same genus as apatosaurus due to the similarities of the fossils we had at the time. Due to closer examination and more complete fossils to work with, it was determined in 2015 that brontosaurus was its own genus and not an apatosaurus.
In JP3, you can notice that Pteranodon had the tiniest notches in the beak. Would this be plausible? Could a Pteranodon have a beak that was slightly serrated?
I'm pretty sure bats take off like pterosaurs with a push of their arms rather than their legs ^^ Just, it's not very often seen, because bats don't take off from ground very often....
"It has no wing finger."
"Well, how does it fly?"
"It wings it."
As a dad, I approve of this joke.
the wings are pterrible
GG
your pun is terrible.
John Sanders so was your joke
xD
Your pun was pterrible.
So, if I'm getting this right, pteranodon would gorilla-walk on the ground, then get into the air by doing a giant pushups?
Yup lol
Less like push ups and more like running then pushing and jumping at the same time.
There's a few theories, my personal favorite is that they would swan dive off cliff edges and use the terminal velocity for lift.
Could you do Quetzalcoatlus? It's such an interesting creature. I'd love to hear more about its posture and whether or not it could actually fly.
i think Hatzegpteryx
I mean weight estimates say between 100 and 200 pounds so I say yeah if the chest muscles were strong enough
+ItsTapOutz hatzeogopteryx*
Alex.T.2015
What about Quetzalcoatlus Northropi
Even though they are the size of a giraffe they could still surprisingly fly
One time I looked up pterodactylus and it said "did you mean pterodactyl"
I was not happy
Lol
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XD
In all honesty, it's a pterodactyloid.
Jeffrey Gao
That's not the point
Do you think that right before the credits, you could show both the toy and the accurate version side by side for a comparison?
Steven, Geekgroup should make a line of realistic toys.
YES YES YES YES YES
Making accurate dinosaur as toys is a good idea but the toy is cannot stand still or stay still without support
Of course it could. Even with theropods. You just need to give him a dynamic pose to balance it but that's totally possible.
I am frighteningly Ok with stands for my dinosaur toys. Especially if I could have a flying archasaur.
its called utharaptor
Pretty sure that Vampire Bats also do the pushup style takeoff. The scale is very different obviously.
Fun fact: A recent theory says that Pteranodon might have caught fish by swimming rather than flying; it would fly over the ocean, spot a shoal of fish and then dive in and swim around to snatch the fish up.

+HTFCirno2000 You also have to take into account getting the toy to stand properly. Most toy companies sacrifice accuracy for ease of pose.

Hatsune Miku by safari LMT, worked with scientists.
You're both right-both AWESOME Safari toys and AWFUL Jurassic World toys were made of the species
Remember when the Nostalgia Critic thought _Dimorphodon_ was just a pterodactyl with a _T. rex_ head attached?
Thank you so much, I couldn't sleep tonight but while I was watching your video I longer had no trouble to do so. You are more effective than Lunesta.

The size of a giant teratorn indeed, both Mayr et al. (2010) and Ksepka (2014) demonstrated than anything over 6m for Argentavis are exaggerations.

I think "pterodactyl" could be taken to mean any member of pterodactyloidea (more derived pterosaurs)
pteranodon is a type of pterodactyl. He may have thought pterodactyl just meant pterodactylus.
I think that makes it a little easier.
It's easy to get a Pterosaur wrong. It's not easy to get them THIS wrong, though

I suppose the posture is supposed to be a compromise between flying and standing, to make it more versatile to play with. Which I can understand the desire to do, but it's a shame that it can't really be done (without moving parts) without sacrificing so much accuracy.

In JP3, you can notice that Pteranodon had the tiniest notches in the beak. Would this be plausible? Could a Pteranodon have a beak that was slightly serrated?
Nah
What’s the difference between Archosaurs and Pterosaurs? Is it like a higher classification?
Archosaurs a a higher classification that includes crocodilians, dinosaurs, birds, and pterosaurs.
@thegeekgroup actually, they got the arm take off theory from modern day bats, who use their arms to push themselves into the air.
"It does have the accurate number of toes. Well, kind of."
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
My cat was very interested in this episode lol
I'd like to know the story behind all the signs in the background
Wonder if there was ever a species of pterosauria which was unable to fly but swimmed, kinda like the penguins
Would be interesting to see if one is found
?? "Swimmed"??
it strikes this pose to intimidate other creatures just like birds do geese/ swans
U said the tail was "a body size" then you say its short....which is it??
I'm pretty sure bats take off like pterosaurs with a push of their arms rather than their legs ^^
Just, it's not very often seen, because bats don't take off from ground very often....
That pose is like Dracula. "I vant to suck your blood!"
