[@dyslexiusmaximus]

good point

[@_robustus_]

I always thought this same approach should be done for archeology. Good recreations of ancient cultures are rare. I enjoy watching good attempts in movies even though they pay for less historic consultation that I would. There are Turkestani trinkets and baubles passed off as Anatolian jewelry in Troy and southeast Asian textiles passed off Babylonian and Bactrian in Alexander. Just sayin...

I agree, the strength of this series is that it did present the lives of dinosaurs in vary natural way like a documentary on them in the ecosystem. You rarely get dinosaur documentaries that focus on storytelling with science incorporated in it.

Scientifically accurate or not, the absolute *EFFORT* that went into this series from the practical effects to the pretty good CGI for the time has to be appreciated.

The Scarlet One To be honest, anything can be considered monsters because of our strong perception of fear. I don’t see what the problem is portraying animals as monsters for the sake of entertainment. At the same time, are we just going to treat animals like dolphins as kind-hearted and purely benevolent when they are perhaps one of the most cleverly sadistic animals known currently? That is more psychopathic and monstrous than animalistic. I’m not kidding, there’s reports of Dolphins killing innocent people, and they do it coordinately. When you think about it, when do we really draw the line between animal and monster?

For it's time you have to give it credit for being incredibly up to date and even getting some things spot on. The use of scientifically informed speculation is something I'll always applaud because it helps to bring these animals to life and can help advance the field. If you then get it wrong that's just how it is in science but better to take a risk and fail than to not. Also of course back then we used to know way less about the behavior of these animals so you had to speculate to fill in the gaps.

It's great that someone on KZbin is finally doing this layout of an analysis, rather than just giving a blanket "not as accurate as it should be." I can't wait for the next few episodes! One thing that should have been brought up was Coelophysis' sleep schedule. The program only ever shows them in daytime, when the relative size of their scleral rings suggests they would have been more nocturnal. EDIT: I was completely wrong on that end. Coelophysis apparently had terrible night vision. Thanks to Cherry Jester for the correction.

[@Cherrywick76]

Actually, the analysis said that Coelophysis was a diurnal (daytime) animal, since they actually have poor night vision. They do have exceptional daytime vision though, having a similar eyesight as a hawk. WWD was right in that respect.

@@ThemagpieBird734 The important part is that they were better-suited for surviving harsh droughts than dinosaurs (meaning that the ENTIRE PLOT of New Blood should be the other way around). That’s why there were only smaller dinosaurs outside of high-latitude regions during the Triassic (when you take continental drift into account). The thing dinosaurs were better at was surviving very cold conditions, but this only became an advantage during the end-Triassic Mass Extinction when a worldwide volcanic winter set in; it didn’t give them an inherent advantage without said mass extinction.

@@bkjeong4302 yes but how exactly? Did they use less water or were more energy efficient? The only way I think the dinosaurs could be hampered in arid environments was that some of them may have had feathers in the triassic period and even then modern desert birds and mammals still had filaments.

[@adamlindholm8724]

Thank you so much for making this video/ potential series. Walking With... is probably my favorite series of all time, and definitely the show I have the most nostalgia for. I’d personally love to see these for the whole show/sequels/spin offs. Keep up the great work!

[@itsahostiletakeover]

Would love to see you do every episode eventually, including the Mammals and Beasts series. Great video!

[@rahimjoseph211]

Can’t wait for Giant of the Skies’s Utahraptors in England.

[@D.Pap_Art]

Those series were my childhood and a major inspiration for me to create paleoart . Please cover all of it , I would love to see it !

[@franceslambert8070]

Yes, please, review the rest of the series. I love learning, and you are a great teacher.

[@occamsrayzor]

I've only discovered your channel in the past few days, but every episode I watch has been thoroughly engaging and informative. Thank you for all you do here.

[@titanofserpents4315]

9:29 That sauropod looks like it has peanut butter and jelly on its neck lol. Great video as always!

[@dman113]

This series is super nostalgic for me and i grew up watching this series all the time.

[@puckels]

Please do continue with this series, that was great.

[@wddthedraftsman8679]

Amazing video Ben G Thomas! I love Walking With Dinosaurs so mucht too! And it brings me so much joy you talk about these series with so much respect. Not breaking it down for the errors, but building on them. I would love to see the other episodes too. Keep up the amazing work and many greetings from Belgium! :)

My wife and I went to the Petrified Forest in Arizona a couple months ago and definitely watched this episode of Walking With Dinosaurs a couple times in preparation :) The Placerias being nearly extinct is consistent with the lone Placerias site you mention. Also, a single pterosaur jaw has been found at Petrified Forest, which was reconstructed as a Peteinosaurus-like animal: www.nps.gov/pefo/learn/ornithodiran.htm I'm sure you already knew that, but I'm just throwing it in anyways. Thanks for the video and I look forward to watching the rest!

[@BagelBoi4000]

I was reading through the book adaptation of this series a few weeks ago (as i hadn’t read it since i was about 6) and the points you made about the sexual dimorphism and (i think) cannibalism in coelophysis where mentioned there, so i assume they knew about them but didn’t want to include them maybe? Or just didn’t realise at the time...

[@fermintenava5911]

The first one was probably done to save on cgi models. The second was probably a conscious decision, to show the animals as part of an aggressive environment and portray the mechanisms of survival.

[@pastapartyify]

I would love to see all episodes. This was such an amazing series

[@gavinmckendry996]

Please continue with the rest of the series if you aren't already. This was my favorite thing to watch when i was a kid and it's nostalgic as all hell to hear you go through everything scientifically and remember things that i had forgotten like how good the soundtrack is. it was also nice to know little facts about the production of the episode too. Thanks for this Ben.

[@nblastoise4479]

ur videos are so relaxing man,keep going.

[@DaVideoGameBeastr]

I would absolutely love to see you keep going with this series, Walking with Dinosaurs is very near and dear to my heart and I'd love to see what they got right and wrong since paleontology has advanced a lot since.

[@Sucellusification]

I LOVE this series, my father bought me the VHS edition when I was little, and I've seen it a thousand times. I also have the book. And the walking with beasts book :'D Thank you for these videos, you gained a new subscriber :D

[@gonzaminator530]

I had Walking With Dinosaurs on VHS and I would watch it over and over and over and over again.

[@mouseshoes1]

Dude I STILL love watching these documentaries they were my first big purchase I saved up for as a kid and I ADORE them to this day! Thank you so much for doing videos on this series and I would LOVE to see you make more videos on all the other episodes!

[@johngladman4291]

This was awesome. Very informative. As a child I was so excited for this documentary and 20 years later it really gives you an appreciation for the work done.

[@DangerousDaveSlater]

I want you to cover the whole series, walking with cavemen, monsters, beasts.. all of the spin offs haha cover them all!!! Awesomeness at its best 👌👍😎

[@SilverGreeneye]

You released a new episode, so I’m rewatching the series.

[@rabidspatula1013]

I remember when the show came out! My family watched the premiere on Discovery Channel and all liked it. Would love restrospective reviews of all the episodes!

[@Breakfastlizurt]

even with it’s inaccuracies i feel walking with dinosaurs (and the Walking with Beasts/etc.) did a lot to spark a deep curiosity and fascination in younger folk in paleontology.

[@Zalidia]

0:00 - 0:10 same m8. I freaking love walking with dinosaurs 0:28 This image alone is enough to give me goosebumps. The music it goes with is also immediately playing in my head. It's wonderful.

[@bentramer682]

I would love an entire series of this, I preferred watching this over some kiddy stuff when I was younger. Each dinosaur does become a character, i actually feel for them.

[@Cats2Fat]

Finally someone is going to update the series with recent discoveries.

[@NecroGangster]

I love all of t he "Walking With" series and I've love to get a more scientifically accurate remake with up to date science and modern special effects. In my opinion Walking With Cavemen looks the worst, specially the australopithecines and Homo habilis which look terrible and fake. Walking With Monsters on the other hand looks the best since it is the most recent one but it still needs a remake because the Paleozoic is super underrated and under explored in popular culture with compared to the Mesozoic and because of that there's still many misconceptions about life at the time. For instance, referring to synapsids as "mammal-like reptiles" which is totally wrong and "proto-mammal" would be a way more accurate definition. And making therapsids look like reptiles when they looked more like mammals (or at least looked more like a mammal than a reptile). Walking With Beasts is the best in terms of scientific accuracy (even though it's not perfect, but not as bad as the others).

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

The first episode of Walking With Beasts is terribly inaccurate. Ambulocetus being moved from Pakistan to Germany, and Gastornis is now believed to have been a herbivore.

[@coop-likes]

Nothing ruined my childhood more then finding out birds are not only dinosaurs but reptiles and that crocs are closer related too birds then lizards

[@apexarcher1867]

I also grew up with this series and have them all on tape! I really enjoy you going back to a series that meant a lot to me too!

[@stevieb5008]

Hey guys, love your work, thank you. My little boy who’s 4.5 years old loves this channel. He got me on to this fascinating subject. I was wondering if you could do some sort of video that explains the dinosaurs types. My little boy said a triceratops was a ceratopsian, diplodocus a sauropod and that there was lots of tyrannosaurs. Could you guys make a some sort of video that’s like a dinosaur vid for noobs and dads lol. Thank you guys, your work is phenomenal :)
