These Who Would Win? books are just brutal. I gave myself six months to recover from the last one, but Dinosaur December is here, and it is time to put myself through the Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble. I have heard that this is the worst book in the series, so I am not looking forward to this at all. Join me in my suffering?

Hey Clint, Why don’t you get to think of a suggestion and creating a TH-cam Videos all about the Next Animal Group about the Toucans, Woodpeckers, and their Relatives on the next Clint’s Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
nie
utahraptor vs cockatrice
The worst thing is the first page has grass and grass is a recent plant and there was no grass 65 million years ago (thx pbs eons)
just bought it!
I didn't realize that the brain of the T-Rex was so developed. What other dinosaurs had psychic powers?
Right?
@@ClintsReptiles 35:28 with all your (mostly agreeable) points of critique, the little book has outsmarted you there. Big error/fail on your side! It´s only four short sentences and yet you still didn´t get them. So FYI take sentence one (incl. "Smash!") and put it in the second to last sentence postion -> voila! you should understand the narrative now.
@@gshaindrichThat makes more sense, thanks 😂
35:24 The T-Rex used a headbutt (not magic) to knock over the Ankylosaurus.
@@TomAmit42 Nice try, psychic T-rex denier. That image was actually a metaphor for the T-rex using its mental powers to attack the Anky. It head butting actually represents him “using his head” and his mental gifts to unleash a concussive wave of psychic energy
Nice to see that the extreme Spinosaurus overhype is still going strong more than 20 years after JP3
The T Rex vs Spinosaurus fight in this book was the dumbest in the entire book. "Spinosaurus has stronger jaw muscles". I don't even need to say anymore of how stupid it was.
@@chadgorosaurus4898 tbf, it said its bite muscles were stronger than t-rex's opening muscles, which is probably true. But I guess T-rex forgot to open it's mouth for that to be relevant.
I found it most odd that they constantly brought up how fast it was, like, yes, the spinosaurus is known for many things, but since when was it a speed demon?
@@Zetimenvecthat doesn't make much sense tbh
@@chadgorosaurus4898As a Spinosaurus fan, that’s just straight up false.
T-Rex only had one Wish spell slot so he couldn't cast that again. The Spino has +1/+1 counters that stack when it envenomates other animals so at that point it had extremely potent venom.
Spinos have infect, got it.
The T-rex really should’ve spec’d into a magic build honestly. He only dipped his toes in. He could’ve been the first paladin class T-rex, but no. Another Barbarian.
@@cadettrev762 but you gotta admit.
He was extremely successful.until the Dino mass banning
True, but T. Rex also has Haste and First Strike, meaning it would be able to hit first and kill the Spino.
It was colossal dredmaw vs etali
I'm seeing some misconceptions about the nature of Tyrannosaurs' "Need Power".
Many people mistakenly, but understandably, think that Ankylosaurus was flipped by a headbutt, but if you read carefully, that cannot be the case.
If the headbutt has flipped it, the book would subsequently read that "T. rex NEEDED to flip it over". That isn't what it says. After the headbutt, T. rex still "NEEDS to flip it over". And then, just like that, it was done.
The power is real!
Happy Dinosaur December!
good examaning
Even NEED makes more sense than the headbutt, that would be a mad headache
Needed is past tense to be fair. Though Ankylosaurus are nigh on impossible to 'knock over' though. Though Ankylosaurus maybe can't be bitten through it doesn't have a shell, biting it would just crush it like squishing a tube of toothpaste.
🖖🏻
For a while I thought you were saying “KNEED IT to flip it over.” Like a kung fu fighting T. rex. That T. rex would’ve gone on to win and face Bruce Lee in the next book.
"Sauropod type dinosaur" has the same vibes as "Grass type Pokémon"
The T-Rex is forklift certified. That’s how it flipped over the ankylosaurus.
T-wrecks charges spinosaurus, but slips on a banana peel. While T-wrecks is down, spinosaurus leaps forward and bites t-wrecks. T-wrecks is wrecked, hence it's name. But the fight is not over! As spinosaurus springs back, it slips on a fish it had killed earlier, falls, hits its head on a rock and fractures its skull and the C-0 to C-5 vertebrae, killing it. The dead fish wins! Bet you didn't see that coming, did ya sucker? Always put your money on the dead fish. They have so many ways to kill, especially being slippery, and also not being mentioned in the match description. Pretty tricky, those dead fish!!
Honestly a movie about a venomous Spinosaurus fighting a telekinetic T-Rex would go insane
Telekinetic T-Rex needs to be a Sludge Metal band.
34:54 I absolutely LOVE that they’re giving us *”deep lore”* for some of the dinosaurs now….🤣
Yeah, the TRex backstory getting “bonked” by the ankylosaur was hilarious.
Yeah, the T-rex's revengance story is the highlight of the video.
@@nathanielreichert4638 Yea quite lucky that it only got bonked and wasnt knocked silly.
Maybe if the t-rex also had a backstory with a spino It could’ve used it’s need power against it
I'm mildly disturbed there is *lore* in a fucking "Who Would Win" book
Love how Clint slowly surrounds himself with dinosaur models!
It's a circle of warding against trashy "Who would win?" books!
emotional support animals to help with reading the book
Facts!
Great way to deal with trauma
I love how Clint kept mocking the ludicrousness of the first two books throughout the video.
I love how he surrounds himself with tiny dinosaurs for emotional support
As a Trex myself, I have to admit, I just needed you to read the book way more than winning.
What’s a trex
@@Rosy-maple-moth46I think that’s what Romanians call worms 🤔
@SandCat23 your so dumb (No Offense🤗)
@@Rosy-maple-moth46don't be too hard on his spelling. He has to type with really short arms!
@@GeoffCostanza yuhbasyh
NO not "who would win" again! 😂
I've been a long-time subscriber since 1000 subs. Thanks for suffering through this Clint. Yesterday was my birthday...I couldn't have asked for a better gift 😆
Happy birthday!
Happy late birthday!!🎉
Happy birthday!!
Happy late birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday from Toronto, 🇨🇦🎂🥳
I thought a chuckwalla would appear and throw a rock at the Spino, killing it
A note to the publishers:
Please write more of these books.
Many more.
And make them progressively over the top.
It gives me great amusement to watch Clint reviewing them.
MMMMWWWWOOOOAAAA!!!!
They should write Ultimate Ice Age Rumble and have Saber-toothed cat win by single-handedly killing a Paraceratherium...
I'll write some myself if I have to. I have a few stupid ideas floating around. Ultimate Australia Rumble, Ultimate River Rumble, Ultimate Cat & Dog Rumble...
@@gecko-saurussaber toothed cat kills a woolly mammoth by thinking mean thoughts at it until it cries
I would love to see an Ultimate Kaiju Rumble where Godzilla looses the finals in some hilarious way
@@gecko-saurusIn the Roblox game Dinosaur Arcade, Smilodon is one of the most overpowered creatures in the game. Not only can it solo a Paraceratherium, but Brachiosaurus as well.
Poor, sweet Clint guessing this could come down to anything other than the age-old question of whether t-rex would beat spinosaurus in a fight 😂
Would both lose to a Chuckwalla.
@@eric_has_no_idea If it inflates itself and gets stuck in the throat I guess it could beat them.
Poor Clint, he was so full of life before being introduced to this series, now he's bordering on a mental breakdown. Someone help this man.
12:44 - 13:00 Clint rapidly descending into madness 😂
Ah Clint, you're risking your own life just to give us the Dinosaur December. Thank you
My African grey watched this attentively, as she does with dinosaur videos. I'd say she concurs with your assessment.
And I'm not kidding about watching intently. She sat there fascinated by it, and I think it's safe to say that she really likes this channel :)
That bird knows good content when she sees it!
Bird loves watching humans speculate on which of it's bygone relatives would win in a tournament.
You should do The Ultimate Shark Rumble. That one killed me!😂
Oh gosh...
Perfect for Shark Week you know.
@@ClintsReptiles Maybe, you could also do the Ultimate Small Shark Rumble, too!
I never knew their was a smaller one!@@blaisepayzdexter7944
Ah yes, the Shark Rumble AND Small Shark Rumble books are musts.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see they've given a fair chunk of the herbivores a hand up the competition, even if it does mean my absolute favorite, Utahraptor, was turned into mincemeat
I mean I don’t think most animals could survive a direct hit from an Ank's tail club to the head, let alone keep fighting, so the Utahraptor losing doesn't exactly make it weak
Speaking of that, I once tried to imagine a book that would be similar to this, only if it had more plausible outcomes and had its tournament consist entirely of non-sauropod dinosaurs (since that family has so many members that actually could be considered “too big”). Going further, I wondered whether it would be a decent subversion of expectations (namely that herbivores and especially hadrosaurs would be weaker), if the final round was T. rex versus Shantungosaurus and the Shantungosaurus ended up being the champion.
Bruh they did the ceratopsians dirty, maketh no sense.
@@markcobuzzi826 I mean, to be fair, if T rex didn't have the element of surprise, Shantungosaurus would probably stand a VERY good chance.
I mean, currently all the strongest land animals are herbivores. Elephant, rhino, hippo... would crush pretty much every predator out there, including big cats and bears. So it's not a big reach to think ancient herbivores would also be tough.
And then to celebrate it's victory Spinosaurus took a swim, but then hundreds of man o wars showed up and Spinosaurus inhaled one and was stung to death from the inside. Man O War wins the Dinosaur Rumble.
As soon as I saw that both T Rex and Spinosaurous were in the competition we all knew what the final battle would be.
Uh oh, not another one of these books.. With that said, I adore the way you cover dinosaurs! It’s clear you hold a passion for them equal to your love for modern day reptiles. I’m excited for what Dinosaur December has in store this year..
Gakken's Saikyou Ou Zukan >>>> Scholastic's Who Would Win?
You know when you love a character but the fandom takes them and mischaracterizes them to the point they're barely recognisable anymore? That's what it's like being a spinosaurus lover just leave my sweet fishy boy alone ;-;
Love these videos Clint, please take the time to heal and recover after this one...
At least they didn't buy into the myth that the sail on its back was some sort of solar panel for warming up its blood.
I love fishy, hippo, croc boi
All these people trying to make him into something he's not TwT
@@nibs7252 Don't be silly. The Spinosaurus' solar sail wasn't used to warm its blood. It used it to charge its nuclear breath weapon.
I'm suprised the Supersaurus could turn around unlike some of the other dinosaurs
I love that the artist apparently couldn't do an allosaurus no matter what, so they just used a couple images of a Papo allosaurus toy instead.
You can tell what the fashion was in Paleontology when these books were written and indeed when Jurassic Park Movies were made! 😂
YES! Dinosaur December! AND a rumble? Joys upon joys!
I second this comment
35:39 The logic of this "battle" was so insane it literally broke Clint's brain. You're not alone, by the way; I literally said "wut" out loud when Ankylosaurus was flipped on its back.
It's like the dolphins and thd great whites. You headbutt it in the side and it flips over.
Supersaurus “eew I got goo on my foot.” Proceeds to wipe off on rock.
“Did I step on a lego?!” 😂😂😂
Spinosaurus: "It's over, Styra! I have the speed!"
Styra: "I hate you!!!"
Spino: "Don't try it, Styra! You were the chosen sauropod! You were meant to balance reptilian evolution! Not destroy it!"
Spinosaurus would lose all those fights because it's too busy trolling paleontologists
Fax 😂😂😂
We need a Clint version of these. Where fans come up with the tournament and Clint does the verdicts.
This is definitely one of the books of all time
For sure.
Goons enjoyer???
Let's hope they make more of these books so Clint can react to them!
I will buy out the publisher if they discontinue the series
It’s a whole series. Many books.
They very recently released a new one called "Ultimate Small Shark Rumble", featuring sixteen.... well, smaller sized sharks. It's not bad for a Who Would Win book, certainly nothing immediately stupid, but without spoiling anything, the final match goes out of its way to screw over the eventual runner-up.
God bless you, Clint. Your determination to keep reading the equivalent of a kid bashing two action figures together inspires me.
You just know 5 year old Clint would have clung to those books like his most treasured possession.
This man ignites my learning drive like nobody else!! Keep on keeping on you wonderful teacher!! ❤
I adore his balance of meticulous detail and slightly unhinged enthusiasm :)
@milissamackey7231 excellent way of describing it!
With the ridiculousness of these books, I was expecting micropachyceplalosaurus to pull a RULES OF NATURE !!! on supersaurus
I love how this book straight up took inspiration from the most controversial scene in jp3. I mean the spinosaurus even pins the trex in an unrealistic way to finish it off, absolutely incredible(not stupid at all).
my friend's daughter came over with a list of books to get from a school fair and I saw these books mentioned. She had them circled as something to get and I told her about these videos and advised her not to waste her money on them, so while you hate having to read these books, at least you are doing good at preventing some young kids from getting incorrect information. Also Happy Dinosaur December.
The books are good, it’s just the author makes the weakest animals beat the strongest ones
@@DustinGoatPoirier no the books are NOT good, they are bad writing, and occasional misinformation, the only thing they have to offer is just a collection of illustrations and pictures collected, otherwise its literally trash, any simpleton could clusterfugg a book like this easy, whipping it up with google and copy and paste, and im sure an AI could do the job these books did better! ( im pretty sure these guys mentioned that in a previous video.)
@@arthurvalencia3982 well I mean some of them are literally over a decade old so ofc there’s probably gonna be some misinformation
@@DustinGoatPoirier there should be no "of course" to your whole explaination sir, this is dishonorable in the world of literature and publishing.
@@arthurvalencia3982 cry about it little man
My toddler and I loved this video (for different reasons though 😂). I was lulled into a false sense of hope by the beginning of the book and then was feeling the pain by the end. My toddler, however, loved it. She sat enthralled with her toy spinosaurus and yelled happily when she saw dinosaurs she knew. “Sauropod!” “Triceratops!” “A spinosaurus! Just like my own! Spinosaurus had sharp teeth and a long tail!”
Thank you for enduring the pain, Clint.
This was easily the best of the books so far. Most of the information was accurate and most of the fights had reasonable outcomes. It was not nearly so painful as the Ultimate Ocean Rumble. The decision to represent Spinosaurus as speedy was odd, but the focus on T. rex intelligence was a pleasant surprise. The last two fights were ridiculous, but not nearly so ridiculous as the sea turtle and orca losing to the man o' war.
I would argue the reptile one is well ahead of this.
Yeah, the chuckwalla boulder thing was absurd, but this has just a strong of dumb things.
But I am pretty sure the ocean one was written by a seven year old.
What a painful way to start dinosaur December... Thank you Clint for suffering through these for us. Looking forward to more dinos and dino phylogeny vids this month. Thank you for being an awesome science educator, i find your "Best pet for you" cids informative and has helped me determine my next reptile baby.
With the Supersaurus v Micropachycephalosaurus, I remember a paper about how smaller dinosaurs may have died in the FOOT PRINTS giant sauropods leave behind, that they'd churn the ground into mud which smaller animals would get stuck in.
So, I have some thoughts. I first wanted to ask for a referee to review the spinosaurus round one fight. It was clearly a violation of the ouch! Rule. But in further investigation I discovered that the Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble was published January 1st 2019. This is relevant because what we know of the Ouch! Rule came from the Ultimate Ocean Rumble, published September 1st, 2020. So I now hypothesis that the Ouch! Rule was introduced at some point between these two dates. While I could not find a published statement from the Ultimate Rumble governing body declaring the rule change, I have to assume this is what happened and Spinosaurus is the rightfully victor.
Thank you for shedding so much greatly needed light on the subject!
You mean the “ouch”! Rule being if an animal says “ouch”! It is akin to a declaration of forfeiture?
T-Rex stands no chance against a chuckwalla. Chuckwalla is too small for the t-rex, the chuckwalla bites the t-rex's little toe and it dies.
Thank you for sharing your pain. If it helps, if Ceratopsians are herd animals it may be instinctive for it to form a defensive perimeter with its herd mates like wild cattle do. When caught alone, it may not realize its flank is open immediately and fail to turn in time to stop an attack.
Clearly these books suffer from the same writing problem of most modern media. It is made to be flashy but don't use too many words so you don't over burden the reader. In my youth books about dinosaurs were packed with information and excellent art work. I will say the T. Rex back story was a nice touch.
Oh boy... This is why I couldn't sleep well.. somehow I knew that Clint would be dropping this video. I'm so excited to watch this ! 😅
Who do you think is gonna win the jungle rumble vs who should win the jungle rumble?
i would love to see clint take the book's advice and make his own ultimate rumble book with more interesting animals and more realistic, even matches
I don’t like how everyone just factors in the spinosaurus’ jaw, instead of those massive forelimbs with massive claws that would do far more damage and would put the spinosaurus at less risk than the mouth would
Thank you and my condolences Clint! Your suffering is not in vain! These particular videos are as hilarious as they are painful. It would be the height of irony if Ultimate Rumble was about to go bankrupt before Clint started these videos only to see a massive rise in sales 😅
Watching your channel with my kids is always a blast thanks clint!
I love that!
Can't wait for the video on Spinosaurus. Probably one of the most controversial dinosaurs when it comes to how it looked and lived
How i would fix the battles:
Kentrosaurus vs Megalosaurus:
Same outcome but the kentrosaurus would wack the Megalosaurus right in the face with its tail
Ankylo vs Utah
The utahraptor pounces on the back of the anky, but its unphased. It shakes the utah off its back and wacks it right in the jaw
Yangchuan vs toro
The yangchuansaurus sneeks up on the Torosaurus and bites its tail. Angerd, the toro charges, but the yangchaun dodges, biteing and dislocating its leg. Un able to move, the Torosaurus is eaten alive
Supersaurus vs micropachy:
No changes
Giginotosaurus vs stego:
The stegosaurus may be a threat from behind, but the giga likes to attack from the front. It bites the stegos neck, and with one rip, its neck is broken. Giga wind
Rex vs tyrannotitan
Both preditors encounter one another, and are angerd. They get into an intimidation battle, but ultimately neither wish to fight. The tyrannotitan is smaller and runs away, disqualifing himself.
Spino vs styraco
The spinosaurus sees the styracosaurus encroaching on its territory, and trys to scare it off. The styraco is desperate for water and trys to drink. The spino lands a chomp on its tail but the styraco kicks it right in the gob. The spino lets it drink, and disqualifies itself
Allo vs apatasaurus
The allosaurus is attempting the biggest hunt of its life. An adult apatasaurus is on the menu tonight. The allo sneeks up on the sauropod and lands small attacks before going back into hiding, slowly weakening the apatasaurus. After many hours the apatasaurus is to hurt to go on. Allo wins
Ankylo vs kento
Both of these armored herbivores are similar in abilities. They clash against each other, both whacking their sides, but ultimately the ankylos defenses and attacks are to much for the kentrosaurus
Rex vs giga
Littearly the exact same thing as the tyrannotitan vs rex fight happens. Rex wins
Yangchaunosaurus vs supersaurus
The supersaurus isnt even frightened by this comparatively tiny carnivore. One large bellow and the carnivore gets the memo. Dinner aint worth this. The yangchaunosaurus disqualifies its self and runs away.
Spinosaurus vs apatosaurus
The spinosaurus trys to scare off the apatosaurus but its no use. The apatosaurus whips the spino several times with its giant tail. The spino retreats, and is disqualified
Spinosaurus vs supersaurus
"Oh no not again" thinks the spinosaurus. 1 sauropod was bad enough but 2? Come on. The spino retreats and is disqualified
Rex vs spinosaurus
The rex takes a drink from the spinos home, but the spino is defending its territory. It surprises the rex with a sneek attack from the water and attempts to bite the tyrannosaurs neck. The tyrannosaurs thankfully dodges and tries to intimidate the spino. The clash for a while, the spino scraps at the rex with its claws, but the rex takes one chomp of the spinos neck an twists it. Tyrannosaurs rex wins.
The official winner should have been supersaurus, but i decided to only fix the battles in the book
Ultimate fight: Clint vs. kids' book! Anyways, great video; I love your stuff! You taught me a lot about zoology which is one of my favorite subjects.
The authors probably felt like they needed to “subvert expectations” by not having Tyrannosaurus win
So, today I learned that Clint seems to handle reading these books much better when he has a couple of emotional support dinosaurs on his desk. Although he did continue to express some disapproval with the outcomes of a lot of the matches, he appeared to remain far less agitated while reading this book in comparison to the previous books. 🤣🤣🤣
I like how this book repeatedly describes ceratopsians as slow turning and clumsy, yet the opposite was most likely true. Ceratopsians have front legs that are a bit more splayed out than their back legs, which made them really good at turning on a dime.
Like a T-Rex, I NEED to see more of these reactions!😆
You should do a phylogeny video of all of the dinosaurs as a whole, all of the theropods (might favorite dinosaurian clade) as well as the entire clade of the birds!
I’ve been fascinated with the dinosaurs since I was 11 when I first learned about the ties that birds have with them! 🦖 🦅
We did one of those last year, one is coming later this month, and I'm working on the birds, but it will take me a bit.
I have never clicked so fast 😂
Besides phylogenies, this is my favorite series!
I'm still confusing everyone that whales *are* in fact fish. 😂
I think we all agree Clint is one of are favorite Reptile TH-camr's. Ankylosaurus is one of my favorite Dinos! And while it may be considered overrated by some T-Rex are also pretty stinkin' rad and are a solid 2nd place for me. I also love the controversy in the Dino fandom (academia 1st and foremost) about Spinosaurus and would not be surprised at all if someone writes an academic paper on Spinosaurus venom.
Spinosaurus should’ve lost in round 1 or 2, giga should’ve beat Rex, if it didn’t, then Rex should’ve one shotted spino
uh oh, these books again! it was a real treat to see this new entry to the series today :) a shame the allosaurus didn't make it far. when i was little, i found the documentary about Big Al on a vhs in my local library, and watched it what must have been a hundred times, at least! i got really attached, and i'm still many years later very fond of the allosaurus :) thanks for suffering for our entertainment (and education!) again! :D
On the positive side Clint....you have saved many of us from buying these books. They are available at all the local book fairs and now we no to just pass on by😂
I’m so curious what Clint has to say about Spinosaurus. Happy Dinosaur December!
Entire video coming!
@@ClintsReptilesBut it was definitely venomous, right? 😂
At this point there's no denying it.
There was literally no timeline where utahraptor stood a chance against ankylosaurus. Even if it could somehow ‘slash’ it’s ‘unprotected’ belly I doubt It would even cause that much damage
Clint should write his own "who would win" book 😂
Dinosaur Decemberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Truly the most wonderful time of the year ❤
Your color commentary and reactions as the book devolves are just so entertaining! With lots of education sprinkled in too. Sorry for your sanity, but I'm excited to watch the next installment!
"Sometimes I forget that Ceratopsians didn't know how to turn around....so.." 😂
There were even dinosaurs on the sauropod side of the split that were still bipedal for a bit
I find it very silly how the fights with ceratopsids play out in this book, because with their compact build I would imagine they were among the better herbivorous dinosaurs in terms of quickly turning around.
Apparently not...
As soon as I saw this, I knew I needed to watch this! You’re honestly one of my favorite people on TH-cam
I’ve actually considered the T-Rex/Orca comparison before myself. There’s a surprising number of parallels when comparing them to their rivals. They both have considerably stronger jaws than their closest competitors, massive weight advantage, very well developed senses, and (according to the most recent research) a high degree of intelligence. There’s even pretty solid theories that T-Rex lived and hunted in familial groups as opposed to being solitary predators. They both just have overwhelming advantages against any other contemporary animal in their environment.
I love this channel, so much. Clint, you're the freaking MAN. Just, genuine quality content.
I'm going to be disappointed if the chuckwalla doesn't win. 🤭
It's alive today so it basically did. Not only does it use weapons to fight snakes but it was able to outsmart the dinosaurs by being alive now. There is no end to their cunning.
@@zacg_damn, they're so smart that they simply existed better 💀
I love dinosaur December!!!🦖🦕
Ankylosaurus and Utahraptor is like putting an angry Cassowary up against an Armored War-Bison.
Kind of funny that they do the whole "predator outmaneuvering a ceratopsian" twice, when it's generally accepted that quadrupedal dinosaurs like the ceratopsians were probably faster to turn & pivot than the two legged predators would have been. It's perhaps at least part of the reason the Tyrannosaurs evolved towards such powerful bites, as their prey was so dangerous that they needed to be able to get in and kill their prey as quickly as possible to avoid a potentially fatal fight.
I would personally pay Clint’s therapy bills for this series
Clint's dark blue shirt is glitching. Does that mean...?
Is this still fleshbag Clint? Or did AI Clint steal the sponsorship?
Clint, blink three times if You are held against Your will.
❤
Oh it's far from over. I think there's quite a good many of these. Because when I looked them up on Amazon, I found so many other than the three you did.
Every time one of these videos get published, I know some chuckery will be afoot.
My money's on chuckwalla!
Always a good bet.
I love this series so much. Hearing Clint go nuts over this absolutely makes my day😁🤣
Imagine Supersaurus saying "OUCH" when stepping on top of that poor Micropachycephalosaurus and loses the battle against a goose sized dinosaurus? :'D How much pain would one experience from that outcome? Well.. I assume just a fraction of what the Supersaurus would feel xD
What a wonderful way to start dinosaur December
😂😂
Clint, I think you need to watch the movie Leo and do a reaction video to the inaccuracies and things that make you angry. 😊 sincerely, all of us
Man, Spinosaurus must be a real racer if it can just casually back off from the reach of a 30m long dinosaur multiple times in a row. Like 12m/s? Must be nice to reach a consistent speed of ~43km/h while also dodging in and out and waiting for a pissed off 40 ton animal to bleed out.
Deep down, I think we all had a gut feeling how it was going to end. Especially after Spinosaurus' hit and run win on supersaurus.
I love these books. So scientifically accurate!
Rex vs Spino largely depends on WHERE they fought. On land, it's the Rex all day, but if they fought in water, I'd give it to the spino, because it could drown the rex. Nothing kills Supersaurus full grown, but if any dino had a CHANCE to do it, T-rex would probably have the best shot. But realistically, the animals MOST likely to beat a rex in a fight were animals it actually encountered in life like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus. They evolved alongside the rex, so they are the best prepared to deal with it
New research shows that T-Rex was actually a very decent swimmer, so even in water fight could turn out to not be easy.
Ankylosaurus would've been able to take down most of the predators on this list because their clubs could easily break a predator's leg- a broken leg is pretty much a death sentence for a predator. Despite being a lot dumber than a t-rex, it'd probably survive most encounters.
Sorry but no.
There is actually zero evidence that triceratops actually used its horns for predator defense. There are zero trex fossils with any scratches or marks caused by a triceratops horn. It is entirely possible that triceratops only used its horns for intraspecies combat. Fighting over mating rights or territory, etc. As evident by the fact that all of the adult triceratops skulls we have show many scratches caused by other triceratops horns.
As far as ankylosaurus, it's much the same story. The tail was very inflexible, only able to swing 45 degrees to either side. Meaning if it used its club for defense against a trex, the trex would have to be directly behind it to get kit, and that isn't going to be likely. And again, there are no trex fossils showing any kind of damage from ankylosaurus clubs. But Ankylosaurus fossils do show damage from other ankylosaurus clubs.
I'm not saying that it is impossible or never happened, but there is no evidence for it, so we really can't say that it happened.
@@KurNorock Don't we have Trike fossils with healed T-Rex bite marks on the horns? This would imply that it used it's horns to defend itself from T-Rex predation.
@@KurNorockWe had multiple evidence of Triceratops with healed pathologies in the horn and skull that suggest they survived getting bitten in the face by a rex. There are also some evidence for pathologies on rex and Tarbosaurus tibia consistent with damage by Ankylosaur tailclubs and even one rex with a possible puncture wound with a conveniently rounded shape 😅
Given how scrappy the fossil record is, we shouldn't be all that surprissed that we don't have much or any evidence of a behaviour we know Dinosaurs certainly engaged in, for instance a recent paper described Theropod bitemarks in Sauropod bones in the Morrison Formation, in spite of them being quite frequent (about 13% of all individuals) none showed signs of healing, based on those results, the authors could had came to the conclussion that Theropods were not actively hunting Sauropods but instead, since the majority of feeding traces were found in sudadults and adults, they considered much more likely that Theropods were hunting younger Sauropods much more often but since those are rarely preserved due to taphonomy, little evidence remains.
Likewise the chances of finding evidence of succesfull defense by prey on Theropods are quite low, we have some like the possible thagomizer wound in an Allosaurus pelvis and the aformentioned pathologies in Tyrannosaurid shinbones, but given the incompleteness of the fossil record we shouldn't expect to find all that much.
(Also consider that Ceratopsids deffensive horn wounds would had likely been mostly inflicted on a Tyrannosaurid chest cavity, were there's very little bone)
Finally consider that among living horned animals, the pressence of large horns in both sexes is often found in species which are prone to use them deffensively (rhinoceros, bovines, hippotragine antelopes...), and that while there was quite a lot of inter and intraspecific variation, there is no clear indication of a marked sexual dimorphism. Same with Thyrophoran osteoderms and tail weaponary.
Omg the photo at 5:01 was in a book i had as a child, i used it sooo much, i loved how nice the photos were in it, i even tried drawing some from it when i was young
Wait a minute… Clint didn’t end this video with his trademark, “Uuryadiksoomifontons.” I call shenanigans!
😂
Was surprised by how hard Clint undersold Utahraptor, they're only a little smaller than ankylosaurus, and measurements for it are almost always done at the hip, which is... really strange, because there's a lot more dinosaur up past the hip. Utahraptors were huge.
In length they were similar in size to Ankylosaurus. In mass, they weren't even close. Utahraptor is a huge Dromaeosaurid, but Dromaeosaurids were not big dinosaurs.
wiki quotes up to 1/2 ton, and more likely 350 kg for Utahraptor, with like 5 citations. For ankylosaurus, 2 authors are quoted as with estimates of 4.78t for the *smallest* known specimen, and almost 8t for the largest.
Soo, that's at least like 10x and up to 20x bigger by mass! yeah, that's not remotely close. @@ClintsReptiles
