Amazing Dinoworld [2019] - Protomosasaurus Screen Time

[@davidfiore4677]

Protomosaurus may not have been an actual species, but I guess it is interesting to see monitor lizard-like creatures that have evolved to become Mosasaurs.

[@BlaqHalcyon]

They probably meant Aigialosaurus 😅

[@wesmcinerny4524]

We have yet to find something like it. It's out there.

[@pythoncasey]

Considering even the most arid-dwelling varanid lizard can swim well it is a little dramatic to show the Protomosasaurus to be so hesitant to flee into the ocean from predators. Varanids are already well adapted to feed on aquatic life by being able to use their forked tongue to smell prey underwater and a strong paddle-like tail.

[@Godisgood007]

Yeah, I feel that scene was more for dramatic purposes

[@Polosatiy_Varan]

It's all about the average ocean temperature. Modern water monitors could probably return to the ocean if it were much warmer.

[@BluesnakeCreations.official]

[@DeinoWolfhybridhero]

One of the most well done CGI animals made. If you then don't see dinosaurs you could believe it's a real documentary filmed today

[@TheGamingTigerKing]

Now I can see why Mosasaurs are related to Monitor Lizards because the Protomosaurus looks like a monitor lizard

[@mdalsted]

To be fair, Protomosasaurus is actually a fictional creature, possibly a hypothetical one created to theorize about the origin of Mosasaurs.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a picture of a Monitor lizard taken by a camera

@@meli-melo9759 ik that and its a interesting fact 😊

[@chheinrich8486]

And many other fossil precursors to mosasaurus ook like Monitors too

[@mandrakeblake-tw1uv]

​@@meli-melo9759 Are you a Answers in Genesis larp larp? This comment makes you sound like one. And yes, protomosasaur wasn't a true monitor lizard, but the ancestor of our modern monitor lizards and the mosasaurs, also, it has been discovered via paleontological and dna analysis that mosasaurs are actually relatives of monitor lizards.

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

This is one of the best lizard models seen in any documentary. It may not have actually existed but it's still well made.

[@The_Lord_Neo]

I'm disappointment that documentary has a lot of unrealistic duel but good animations but not that good.

[@nathandurham5071]

Let’s all ignore that there wouldn’t be trees like that during this time period

[@KimKhan]

For a moment I thought it was an oversight, but Monitor Lizards are some of the only lizards that can actually run and breathe air at the same time.

[@JenniferVoight77]

This protomosasaurus looks so realistic

Terrifically naturalistic animation.

[@thejoker15678]

Animal here is known as Aigialosaurus, it was called as a Protomosasaurus.

[@thejoker15678]

Aigialosaurus first appeared in the Late Cretaceous, known to be a Mosasaur.

[@nicventura5620]

Maybe is the American voice over that got it wrong

[@Ballingerdalinger1425]

Can we take a moment to appreciate sauropods amazing teleportation skills?

[@Rekkyphaganax1983]

Can we take a moment to realize that Protomosasaurus isnt even a real creature- they couldve used dallasaurus or something like that

[@chimerasuchus]

I guess they wanted to show a mosasaur ancestor that was more terrestrial than Dallasaurus.

[@Rekkyphaganax1983]

@@chimerasuchus good point but i think it wouldve been better

[@BlaqHalcyon]

They probably didn't know how to pronounce Aigialosaurus lols

[@Darhan62]

I've always read the Mosasaurs evolved from monitor lizards, but haven't seen it visualized like this until now.

[@User39694]

You do know that monitor lizards swim for fun too right? They wouldn’t need a life or death scenario for that to happen 🤣

[@enfieldlammergeier]

In fact, the first thing Monitor lizards do to escape is jumping in the water 😂

[@applinarcus]

@@enfieldlammergeiereven the largest ones like Komodo can swim for days and I also wonder if Megalanias were semi aquatic.

[@КрокодилВВанной]

Some scientists says, what mosasaurs are more snake relatives, then monitors

[@mortimertobarius9484]

Varanids are the closest living relatives of snakes.

[@BlaqHalcyon]

Mosasaurs were definitely closely related to monitor lizards. The only thing they have in common with a snake is a forked tongue.

[@maavet2351]

This theropod is very eager to eat this last lizard that would barely satisfy its hunger, guess it's really hungry

[@Cyberraptor14]

The one who jumped into the water made the right choice

[@Shaanthemicroraptorfan]

the lizard that had a destiny to become one of the biggest water living creatures in the world

[@taylordakoda67]

this animal never existed and to show it in this poorly made fake documentary alongside somewhat real representations of actual living animals shows how little you can trust anything.

[@BigBoiRedFrog]

Man! the mosasaur ancestors have a tough time!

[@enfieldlammergeier]

So many inaccuracies. 1) Mosasaurus would only evolve live birth AFTER it became predominantly semi-aquatic. Not while it still is a lizard with legs. Until going out to shorelines would actually be somewhat impossible or difficult, they would just lay eggs in the sand like real sea turtles do. 2) It wouldn’t just be one individual who randomly decided to jump in the water once. This species would gradually move to shorelines and explore water, until their young would become more and more adapted to swimming via natural selection.

[@julioalbertoherrera1339]

Protomosasarus is what we call today... a monitor lizard, a goana, a Komodo dragon, el lagarto, el varano... 🦎

[@mamiquieremequetrefe]

Lol they are so cute

[@mrserefbackhi]

i searched for hours, looked at a lot of pages, em, finally, just when I was going to make a mistake, I saw the comments and found out that the protomosasaur was not a real living being, so it gave me textured water (Turkish term, I'll open brackets because it's a word, so I opened brackets)

[@jacobcamacho5452]

Is this "Protomosasaurus" a fictional hypothetical species? Or is there a reason NHK added this creature?

[@mdalsted]

Apparently, it is indeed a fictional species. Perhaps speculating on the origins of the Mosasaur genus?

[@Bagelgeuse]

@@mdalsted If by genus, you mean family, then Agialasaurus exists.

[@Lauren-L13]

Or Dallasaurus too.That also exists

[@porquenadielopidio1913]

[@horizontaltwo0841]

So marine iguanas are currently in the first stage of a marine reptile lineage. We see how they have separated very recently from other iguanas for life in the ocean feeding on available algae, and now will continue to adapt along this path.

[@Polosatiy_Varan]

But marine iguanas are not predators.

[@horizontaltwo0841]

@@Polosatiy_Varan - yes. And neither are manatees. Manatees are still a marine mammal.

I don't understand why the allosaur would bother going after such puny prey, when there are bigger sauropods ready for the taking.

It cant hunt a sauropod.

Would have been more appropriate to call this animal Aigialosaurus or Opetiosaurus

that's literally just a goanna/lace monitor without the markings. it makes no sense that this would be called "proto" mosasaurus when mosasaurs were the largest reptile on earth. it makes zero sense to crawl out of the water only to go back to it only to later come back to land.

[@onionhater5887]

The mosasaurs were related to Dolichosaurids, not varanids

[@Saurian25]

No, they weren’t, boy? They were related to varanids.

[@taylordakoda67]

Showcasing a fake animal that doesn't exist is basically lying to the audience, which is shameful, especially to the countless people that now learned something that is basically false, and they gain nothing from this. I can enjoy fantasy movies, but this just makes you realize how much false information a majority of people take in.

[@mhdfrb9971]

No different than speculative evolution

[@taylordakoda67]

@@mhdfrb9971 there's nothing to back this up and there's zero evidence, speculative evolution is the similarities between separate but interconnected species spanning millions of years. Creating and speculating are two different things, But creating your own nonexistent animals and passing them as factual is the issue especially considering all the young children that watch this creating a false perception.
