Udanoceratops - The Ceratopsian Boars

- Ceratopsians, with their wide variety of head shapes and wide distribution, are well known for their ornamentations and their well-recognised impressiveness, although some members, while not having such elaborate headgear, more than made up for this in other ways, one of which being the genus known as Udanoceratops, which was quite the impressive animal as will be discussed. I hope you enjoy.

Honestly, I think Udanoceratops is one of the most terrifying ceratopsians, mainly due to its massive beak. I can picture someone encountering an Udanoceratops in the wild and trying to chase it off, only for it to charge them into the ground, and then bite their arm off with that massive beak. It just goes to show that while many carnivorous dinosaurs were scary, many herbivorous dinosaurs were even scarier.
I fully agree. Modern herbivores reflect this as well. Mountain lions? Scary. Angry moose? Terrifying.
I mean, Cape Buffalo trample and gore lions and human hunters. Wild boar get huge and nasty and can take out dogs and wolves. I would stay FAR away from this critter. If the jaws are any indication, the muscles were probably huge and this thing could easily crush a small carnivore or seriously injure a larger one. Big parrots crack walnut shells with no problem. I small skull or arm or leg would be crushed no problem.
They were just like modern hippos or bison. Dangerous unfriendly animals
I always said that if I went back in time to cretaceous north america and unluckily feel a deep low vibrating bellow and its a Tyrannosaurus Rex I'm gonna hopefully run towards a triceratops because it has head that's damn near a shield with horns for a reason, heck even Edmontosaurus was probably like the Moose equivalent of hadrosaurs.
Triceratops: massive horns
Torosaurus: massive frill
Udanoceratops: *GIGACHAD CHIN*
No! The gigachad chin title belongs to Giganotosaurus.
@@tyrannovenatortorvus972 udanoceratops has a bigger gigachad chin
@@chadgorosaurus4898 Giganotosaurus has a bigger skull, which means it has bigger/more chin than Udanoceratops. :)
@@tyrannovenatortorvus972 False. Your logic is dumber than the flat earther theory. A chin is only a part of the lower jaw that is muscle. Udanoceratops clearly has the bigger chin.
Lol the kid got deleted
Other ceratopsians develop big frills and horns for 'relatively' safe competion. Udanocseratops develops massive beaks to engage in glorious close quarters combat with rivals.
He wanna be the most handsome ceratopsian.
@@chadgorosaurus4898 well apparently the specimen had healed scoring to its bones that would be consistent with the beak of a rival udanocseratops. So these guys were seemingly quite hardcore.
I said this once and I will say it again, but prehistory has so many fantastic creatures that need more attention in media.
I hope these videos continue to elevate animals like this so that more people can learn about them all. :)
And as this video demonstrates, a lot of those creatures are still dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are sometimes be said to be overrepresented in pop culture, and to an extent that's true. But there are still plenty of dinosaurs (arguably most of them, actually) that are under-appreciated by the general public.
1:11 "it's right behind me isn't it?"
Leptoceratopsids have such interesting speculative evolution potential.
I actually saw one piece of art where they broke off their evolutionary tree and became more niche. One was amphibious and ate fish, one was more like a ground dwelling eagle that ate meat and then one that was an omnivore with a pretty neat design made to eat just about anything. Cool stuff.
The Chad of ceratopsians XD
Sure appears that way, haha.
Cheers for the video. Had no idea that udanocerayops was so chunky. What a beast.
OMG HENRY THE PALEOGUY UPLOADED!!! I LOVE YOU KING KEEP SLAYING!!!! I'm dumb as a rock but these videos make me feel so smart, almost like I dug up them fossils myself
I'd like to see a video on the eurasian scops owl and boreal owls
I LOVE UDANOCERATOPS
this video is already great
What a great way to start my Sunday, with an ancient critter video! Thank you for what you do, and wishing the best on your exams - I'm sure you'll ace them!
❤️❤️
Muito bom seu canal parabéns pelo seu trabalho. 👏👏👏👏
Cool. Nice one Henry :)
Much appreciated!
@@HenrythePaleoGuy :)
Very interesting. I wonder how fast they could run and which animals preyed on them. I guess they could run fast.
Giga chad chin ceratopsian
Essentially!
One if my favorites
genuinely terrifying creature like i see this thing and all i can imagine is it shattering my bones. its way too big
This video shall hopefully continue to grow to spread the terror of them across the internet! Lol
Looks like the Blurg that was in The Mandalorian..
JayLenosaurus in the thumbnail
The recreations of these guys look so silly. Shame they'd probably be as violent as modern boars, though.
I have questions do we know what is ceratopsian fighting abilities.
This thing is a Patrick Warburton voice acting gig waiting to happen
Thanks for imprinting this in my mind, haha.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy "Hey 🅱️inacosaurus"
@@purpleYamask Considering how wide they are, this fits really well.
I love him
Wild pigs are technically herbivores. Doesn't mean you would ever want to be around one when it's mad.
Actually, Wild Boars are omnivorous.
@@kade-qt1zu"technically"
Man Baby Bop looking different now.
I want one as a pet. It's so...chanky
Do we know what other animals Udanoceratops was contemporary with?
Udanoceratops is from the Üüden Sair locality, thought to be among the youngest rocks in the Djadochta Formation. Other animals from the site include the dinosaurs Protoceratops, Pinacosaurus & Avimimus; the croc Gobisuchus; the lizard Gobiderma and the mammal Deltatheridium.
@@Ozraptor4 Ah, thank you.
could it be possible that udanoceratops and protoceratops may actually be the same animals but in different stages of life
@@alanwilcox98 No No! Not another Triceratops and Torosaurus thing!
I need that wall of ceratopsian skulls in my house.
cool
Sure are!
@@HenrythePaleoGuy yep
But why does it have a gigachad chin?
Chad-ceratops. Look at that chin
Chad jaw ceratopsian.
LEZGOO
:D
@@HenrythePaleoGuy ;) ;)
Beak
Why does it look like a villain from a children’s film?
I guess the massive lower jaw.
Gaston vibes, lol.
looks like he ated a bee
Lol, they kinda do. :)
Iguana-Cow.
Were these fossils the ones that possibly inspired the gold-hoarding Griffins, a mythical creature of old?
👾🫀👾
Why does this thing have such a pronounced chin?
For increased power, I'd assume.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy OF COURSE... I should have known.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy That, or it’s a direct ancestor of Jay Leno.
@@kaltneta6704 Well now you do. :) That's the most likely reason, anyways.
@@mechanwhal6590 Potentially, haha.
"39 buried 0 found"
You're frillless.
39 buried, 0 found.
I'd like to see a video on the eurasian scops owl and boreal owls
