20 years after it first aired, how accurate are the prehistoric creatures in the second episode of Walking With Dinosaurs? From Diplodocus to Allosaurus and Stegosaurus, what did this episode get right or wrong?

@@kevinzhu6417 RIGHT?! my Grandad used to love watching the Discovery channel when he was alive. And with good reason as the programmes mainly consisted of original documentaries examining a wide range of subjects. All it is now is the same moronic pseudo-reality, 45 minute advertisement, maskerading as 'entertainment' at best. I think that it says a lot about how 'they' are endeavouring to steer our thinking. Or rather, ensure that we do much less of it.

1950s: Diplodocus has a semi vertical neck. 1990s: No, the bones wouldn't allow that. It was more horizontal for balance. 2010s: Actually, the soft tissue had more effect than we thought. 1950s version is actually not far off. I wonder what they will say next.

Also a fun fact to point out about WWD is that at the time it was thought that grasses evolved after dinosaurs were long gone, so they put a lot of effort and resources into searching for locations with no grass to film at. Later it was discovered that grasses were already common in the dinosaur era so they wasted a lot of effort for nothing.

I love how dedicated you are to this. It's nice and enjoyable for me to find channels like this that gush over dinosaurs and the many discoveries we've made over the many years we've known of their existence. It's also fun to reminisce about this classic series. I really would love to see a remake of this old classic, with better CGI and more attention to detail, such as the 'fleshing out' of the faces, and designing the front and rear feet of the sauropods more accurately as you noted in your video. The new evidence presented for Stegosaurus was news to me, at least regarding the length of the neck and tail and the fact the body was a bit shorter than previously thought. The model for Allosaurus (SP?) always bugged me, though. That was something I had noticed right off the bat. They'd modeled the horny protrusions right over the eyes and the shape of the skull didn't seem right. The bottom jaw was too wide, too. The skulls I've always seen in museums taper down A LOT near the end of the snout. I'm not sure if I remember your take on Liopleurodon but I'm very curious. I think he was my favorite animal featured in the series, other than the sauropods. Great vid, and excited for the next!

A point about the Sauropods having long necks, one theory i didnt hear you mention was that they evolved long necks so they could also evolve long tails, as its needed to balance the animal. The tails are a great weapon for self defence as is shown in the show, and the animals who had longer tails would be more likely to survive and breed, but they also needed longer necks for longer tails ect and evolution does its thing.

I loved the entire Dinosaurs, Prehistoric Beasts and Cruel Sea trilogy, when they came out they were groundbreaking. Some of my earliest childhood memories involve being awed by the dinosaur fossils in the American Museum of Natural History and voraciously reading books like “The Hot Blooded Dinosaurs”, in the 70’s and 80’s books if you wanted to learn about dinosaurs, books were the only game in town and you had to physically go to the library or bookstore. I was in my late 30’s when “Walking with Dinosaurs” came out and I watched each episode and then the reruns multiple times. My love of dinosaurs goes back over 50 years, when I was in Kindergarten I got a 5’ tall styrofoam T-Rex skeleton that I really wanted to bring in for show and tell, my Dad must’ve had the car because my Mom who was 5’3” carried it to school for me through the center of town. People driving by were honking and waving it was really intimidating for me then, but it must have been a hilarious sight. Thank you for the even handed and respectful critique of this beloved program.

At 9:15. I'm surprised you didn't mention that in the behind-the-scenes; Mike Milne, Kent Stevens & some of the animators observed elephants in order to get an idea for the movement of the Diplodocus. They specifically state that for the Diplodocus, they kept the same movement of the limbs as the Elephants but changed the speed & fluidity to being slower than the Elephants. Kenneth Branaugh also states that Diplodocus always have at lest 3 legs on the group to support their weight whenever they are moving.

"why would they have such long necks if they weren't going to use them to reach higher?", while a fair point in the specific case, one explanation/speculation I've heard was that sauropods with horizontal neck positioning is that they would use their long necks to eat all the vegetation around them with minimal need to move their bodies, thus saving energy and allowing them to grow bigger and bigger bodies, leading to their defensive strategy of just being to big to bother attacking once fully grown.

I think it would be interesting to talk about the different dinosaur vocalisations in the episodes. Like most films from back then they use a lot of sounds from animals like crocodilians and large mammals like elephants to compose their sounds, when modern science suggests many more bird like sounds and possible social communications. If that is within your particular purview.

Allosaurus is depicted as 'The top predators of their age". Even though Saurophaganax was the Largest Theropod in the Morrison Formation.

I would assume any missing toes or features would mostly help to keep on budget, especially going by how long it would take to render the CGI at the time.

In the book of Walking With Dinosaurs, they explained that they moved Anurognathus on purpose to North America to appear in this episode. Also, nobody is going to talk about the hypertrophied claw in Ornitholestes foot? 23:33. It's a relative of the dromaeosaurs, but not one of them.

A long horizontal neck is still good for wide browsing without moving the body very much.

Pack hunting is probably close to impossible to fossilized so all we can do is speculate with most therapods. I personally propose something a bit more complex crocodiles and other reptiles(which can be surprisingly social), but not super complex like with lions or wolves.

I always figured that dinosaurs didn't actually take territory but instead wandered this is because things that take territory like wolves are almost always pack hunters and It wouldn't really make sense for a group of allosauras to just leave territory to go hunt a saurapod

This is a question and not a rhetorical statement, but didn't they present diplodocus' long neck as a benefit allowing them to graze large areas of grass with minimal movement, and that it's teeth were unsuitable to more hardy plants meaning it likely grazed on softer plants lower towards the ground?

I look forward to your episode on Cruel Sea. It's important to note that there are actually two types of small ornithopod in Time of the Titans. A group of red-faced, dark bodied ornithopods are seen in the redwood forest right before we're introduced to the Ornitholestes & Baby Diplodocus. Then there's the red-faced, striped bodied Ornithopods that we see on the open plains with the Stegosaurus before we're introduced to the adult Diplodocus. I don't know if they were the different ornithopods or the same but the only small ornithopods that fit either description would be Dryosaurus & Nanosaurus/Othnielia/Othnielosaurus/Drinker.

It's possible the diplodocus are marsh feeders not tree browsers. If the necks were horizontal this might be why.

I have loved dinosaurs as long as I can remember and these documentaries blew my mind when they came out. Although many of the reconstructions have proven to be inaccurate, the creators' careful attempts at portraying them as living, breathing animals have definetely inspired me to stay up to date with the scientific findings in the field of paelontology.

God watching this really makes me wish for a new series now that animation has gotten so much better and we've especially finally really mastered feathers and fur. It would be so cool to see an animated dinosaur with a full feather coating that moves realistically and reflects light realistically.

Just throwing out that sauropods on a savanna would be scarce if they only att taller plants. A long neck would be advantageous in coverage of a lot of shorter browse from alone spot. Just to keep the talking points going.

If the Diplodocus had its neck in a raised position all the time, wouldn't that already mean the head is several meters higher than the heart?
