A CANNIBAL DINOSAUR?! | Paleontologists rank MAJUNGASAURUS in Jurassic World Evolution 2

[@Mrloophole]

Majungasaurus lives by the words "Nothing like having your friends over for dinner"

[@GoGojiraGo]

"Friends for dinner! I'm gonna have friends for dinner! I'm gonna get a couple of those, a couple of these, things from the bushes and things from the trees!"

[@Jurassiccanonking]

They do the world a favor by removing ugliness.

[@aaronbrown3163]

It really does say something about the mesozoic that "about the size of a brown bear" counts as a midsized even kind of smallish predator

[@coconutthecockatiel478]

"What a stupid looking animal" is the only proper response to seeing a _Majungasaurus_

[@areallyshortbrontothere]

I'd say *s o s a g e* is fine too

[@cezannejimenez7164]

0:28 This game needs more animals from Madagascar: Simosuchus, Rapetosaurus, Masiakasaurus, Rahonavis, etc.

[@Mrloophole]

Masiakasaurus would be stellar

[@Jurassiccanonking]

You guys should do a livestream where you watch the Madagascar movies so James can see them.

[@areallyshortbrontothere]

Scince it's probably copyrighted, they must reenact it themselves

[@Mrloophole]

I'd love to see that

[@Jurassiccanonking]

James your acting was really good in your recent movie and I had no idea you could sing so well.

James heard they were out of corythosaurus and said "have you checked in the back?"

[@IncorrectRayquaza]

If there’s one good thing Jurassic Fight Club did, it was introduce me to this animal, erroneous name aside. I’ve always found this guy to be pretty interesting and I think it looks pretty good in the game!

[@jurassicswine]

Fun fact: this is my friend’s favorite dinosaur. Anyways, Majungasaurus is perhaps one of my favorite medium theropods in the game. It has some pleasant colors, and a distinct appearance which helps it stand out from the rest of the roster. Majungasaurus has become a fairly staple addition to my parks, as it’s the only abelisaur aside from the more famous Carnotaurus.

[@Mrloophole]

It was also my favorite Dinosaur for a week, then I went back to Concavenator.

[@the_death_phantom533]

I honestly think we can get one more abelisaur for the game and honestly I'm thinking Rugops because of its small size and in film canon is used in the DNA to make the Indominus rex.

[@christopherbj]

If only one more abelisaurid could be added to the game, Rugops has a great claim because of its use in creating the Indominus. However, I’d love to see Rajasaurus included because as far as I know, there aren’t any Indian dinosaurs or prehistoric reptiles included in the game (I could be absolutely wrong, but none come to mind for me).

[@cordelllush8133]

I'd like to add to the deer in forest thing Moose do prefer more open areas like bogs and clear cuts, and moose with bigger antlers do tend to be in less densely wooded areas. Plus there are barren ground caribou and woodland caribou, take a guess which have bigger antlers

[@kiarash608]

2 hour Skeleton Crew video! Best way to end 2023

[@SuperKingGhidorah]

One abelisaur down, one abelisaur with the best sitting animation that makes you want to pet it to go!

[@coconutthecockatiel478]

Spider-Man's appeal (pre-Marvel) is that he was an everyman. He was a working class guy trying to support himself and his aunt. He was the underdog in every way but he was still funny and sweet, despite society being structured against him. I grew up watching a lot of Spider-Man, from the original cartoon (despite how young I am!) to the original movie trilogy, to the Lego Spider-Man cartoons. He wasn't a kid in all of them, but he was in enough that it became important to his character

[@SADDDsteve]

As a 6’5 giant the first time I saw the Majungasaurus on display at the University of Michigan I was like. “Oh my god I’m taller than it I could vibe with this animal if it was alive today.” I don’t care how much it weighs I would play wrestle with this animal it gives off bear vibes. I know it could and would probably kill me but I have to scratch its dumb dunce cap horn first.

[@tobiasedwards2643]

Makes sense considering that they made it sound like a bear.

[@GhaniPulangDariSawah]

Ah the duality of man “I want to vibe with this thing” and “I want to fight this thing”

[@awesomeproductions7755]

Oh good, now I *_FINALLY_* have a good reference for the Maevarano Formation! Seriously, it's easily been one of the most confusing dig sites to find references for - all this time, I wasn't sure if it was a swampy environment like in Jurassic Fight Club and Dinosaur Revolution, a burning hot desert like in Planet Dinosaur or this kind of savannah-esque environment like in Prehistoric Planet. See you guys in the new year! Then, I'll finally know for sure what biome to use for Dreadnoughtus!

[@cezannejimenez7164]

12:06 Jurassic Fight Club is also where I first learned about this dinosaur.

[@GoGojiraGo]

A very in-depth discussion of a weird but cool dino, loved it. Really need to use it in my parks more. Oh boy, I'm gonna enjoy you tearing apart the default design of Dreadnoughtus, especially the transplanted Muttaburrasaurus head. Just go easy on the Dominion design, it's one of my favorite sauropods in the game.

[@TheDanlovejoy]

on the point about shared specimens, im kinda glad i grew up in cleveland and got to see Haplocanthosaurus delfsi on the regular as a result

[@Primordial_Soup]

Abelisaurids are wild with the wide range of proportions they got. Everything from the long bodied short-legged Majungasaurus to the short-bodied long-legged Skorpiovenator. Easily my favorite group of large theropods.

[@sunnyjozani8421]

Their arms remind me of the "take my strong hand, child" guy from Scary Movie.

[@GTSE2005]

It would be cool if there was an entire game dedicated to the ecology of the Maevarano Formation, there's so many unique things there

[@Bagelgeuse]

A Saurian-style game set in the Maevarano formation would be awesome. Preferably without the development hell.

[@thekingofdinos8518]

12:17 I thought the Majungasaurus was eating from the plants, but then I noticed the goat.

[@thomasluke-wp8or]

"J Jonah Jameson in the channel, I HATE spiderman!" Me- *James Jonah Jameson* 😭 1:50:10 one thing ive never noticed before but absolutely love is the leg jiggle when it puts its foot down

[@nickagalidis1845]

The notification for this popped up just as I'm taking a long train home after a night on the town, I know what I'll be watching for the next hour

[@dino_drawings]

I would definitely download a Majungasaurus

[@logan_rox210]

I would download any dinosaur. Avian or not.

[@thylaconical2840]

Madagascar really was just such a weird place back then and it sure is now. I wonder if we’ll ever find more oddball enantiornitheans from there.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

Jurassic Fight Club clearly watch Peter Jackson’s King Kong & just thought Cretaceous Madagascar was like that.

[@PalletTownRescue]

It's my birthday and the Skeleton Crew is covering my favorite nasty boy

[@TheKindofTiredSleepCantFix]

Given that Miap Macrothorax still had very robust arms despite being the largest and most robust Megarqptoran, I wonder what made them so different from other Theropods that reduced their limbs.

[@SmashBrosAssemble]

Probably that big sickle claw on their hands.

[@tangibleskull]

I was immediately offput by this dinosaur's bull terrier-y appearance, but when I found out how small it was I fell in love. Add good scientific accuracy to that cute bastard and how can I resist putting him in my park?

[@dynamoterror7077]

Another amazing and super informative video, and S certainly fits the glorious Maevarano murder sausage! (I was prepared for Alex to “um akshewally” when Majunga-suchus was stated, only to be mildly surprised when he said it too. Channeling my inner-Hermione, *it’s Ma-HA-JANG-a-suchus, not Majung-a-suchus*. Love y’all)

Happy new year to everyone here, the crew and the fellow veiwers, and thank you to all who helped me through this year. I look forward to evrey upload and i love talking to the other fans of this channel. Hope you all have a great rest of the little (if any for some) left of 2023 and an awsome 2024!

[@pondicherryyylana]

Having trouble finding the trilobite paper talked about during the biases section (39:16 ~ish). Would yall happen to remember the title?

[@Pale_7567]

Another great Skeleton Crew video I’m lad y’all touched on the appearances of Jurassic Fight Club but also the Prehistoric Planet appearances of the animal. Also how close to the animal other than some slight inaccuracies the in-game model has. Cant wait for next weeks reveal of neck balloon boy, that will surely be something. Happy New Year to y’all, see ya next year

[@tobiasedwards2643]

Can’t think of a better way to finish the year than with the death sausage same with how there’s no better way to begin the new year than with He Who Fears Nothing except for that both will be accompanied by The Skeleton Crew

[@StelloTyrannus]

Something random I noticed is that diplodocus is still on the wheel, which I know you’ve covered, not sure others are on but wanted to point out

[@skeletoncrew8122]

Since Scott does the wheel and is traveling for the holidays, he had to remake the whole wheel from scratch and might have (definitely did) screw up a few times

[@StelloTyrannus]

Discovered your channel not too long ago and I'm about all caught up with the dinosaur rankings!

[@kevinnorwood8782]

You know what I’m most happy about in this video? That you guys made sure to devote a section to laying to rest the controversy of whether to call this animal Majungasaurus or Majungatholus.

[@RiverDoesTheThing]

My argument for H tier: Simosuchous would obviously be H tier right? And if you are what you eat, and Majungasaurus ate Simosuchous, then this animal is Simosuchous, which no matter what, even though it's not in the game, would be H tier. In conclusion, this is an H tier animal. Thank you for coming to my tedTalk

[@spitfirebird]

This is an incredibly gorgeous model! The colors are solid, and the social animation is just perfect! It may be park-ified, but hey, at least it’s better than jurassic fight club’s “majungatholus”.

[@Neriedar]

Are the trilobite folks okay? Sounds like we are getting a statistical signal of alcoholism 😂

[@sampagano205]

Happy new year to the crew!

[@skeletoncrew8122]

Same to you!

[@mr-pilkington]

Happy new year Skeleton Crew! 🥳Even though the stock bear sound effects get under my skin I always thought Majunga was an underrated animal in the game. It's cool to have another abelisaur represented and have it be one that's an icon of Cretaceous Madagascar. Shame the sausage-shaped torso isn't as meaty as it could be (no pun intended) and that the arms are extended by an elbow joint but still a pretty faithful design considering it's a bizarrely proportioned animal. Also have to shout out its appearance in PP2, really captivated me. ☺

[@TalesZilla]

Dreadnoughtus? I'm very excited for it!

[@thechickhouse2985]

I do not like Spider-Man, but I seriously recommend in to the spiderverse, it’s a good watch.

[@MrTroodon_Official]

Just bit of a heads up for the Carnotaurus, it doesn´t represent the film design well. Is done after an earlier deign that was used on some marketing.

Amelia, I think there is one more thing to add to the bipedal issue. There are quite a bit more than the Kangaroo and Humans. Gibbons, Ground Pangolins, Some species of jumping rodents, and most macropods are all bipedal for primary locomotion.

[@reptisaurusking8494]

Hey Skeleton Crew, some insider information that you guys might want to know, Majungasaurus might be appearing in Chaos Theory, the sequel series of Camp Cretaceous, which goes for Suchomimus as well

Hey crew, just so you’re aware, you still have Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Nigersaurus, and Dilophosaurus on the wheel despite having ranked them already. Just a heads up!

[@ryanbusch2885]

Most carnivores like to eat the liver Orcas sometimes only eat the livers of larger whales and leave the rest 1:43:10

[@Bagelgeuse]

Hot take: Though Jurassic Fight Club was so atrocious that I barely consider it a documentary, some of the designs are aesthetically pleasing. Mostly the colors, but I also really like the soft tissue on the male Majungasaurus/Majungatholus. It's literally the opposite of an actual Majungasaurus, but I like it. As for the JWE design, if Frontier removed the spikes and gave it better textures, it would be an S tier for me. Can't wait for Dreadnoughtus.

[@cezannejimenez7164]

1:53:50 When you guys make your Dreadnoughtus video, please reference Prehistoric Planet Season 1.

1:49:08 i agree, personally, the shortest faced dog I think actually looks really cute is a Boston terrier. They've got just enough of a snout that they don't look like a failed genetic experiment. Their skull even kind of looks like something that could naturally evolve.

Could one of the factors for the lack of fossils be private collections?

[@skeletoncrew8122]

Private collections certainly don't help (and directly keep a lot of fossils from being studied), but I don't think there are enough fossils even in private hands to make up for what appears to be missing from the record as a whole.

[@darthvaderbutwayshittier7054]

I wonder, why are the very obviously vestigial arms never drawn as internal vestiges in paleoart, like whale legs.

The arms don't appear to have been degenerated to that level - although in my opinion, it's possible they would have gotten there had the dinosaurs not gone extinct.
