I'm still hard-pressed to believe that there is a documentary that shows Pteranodon and Sarcosuchus as contemporaries.

there are a south american sarcosuchus species found, but as far as i know it wasnt found in the huincul formation

@daliborjovanovic510 9 ай бұрын

@@richie_0740 Already knew that and it's irrelevant to my question. Plus, Sarcosuchus hartii was the size of a modern Nile croc, nowhere near as big as Sarcosuchus imperator.

Great review, love all the science you include, it's really insightful. Can't wait for sea monsters.

The Tyrannosaurus rex is actually the largest terrestrial carnivore since size is determined by mass, not length and T.rex has a mass of 10,600 kg or 10.6 tons. So Spinosaurus is actually the longest theropod, not the largest. The Giga is actually the second largest terrestrial carnivore and the Mapusaurus is third. Information from Mikailus. Edit: The Ornithocheirus is actually the only creature that lived 100 million years ago. It lived 105-100 mya.

@RexZilla Well, to be fair, since the Ornithocheirus model shown here is identical to the one in WWD and is actually a closely related genera (Tropeognathus), he's judging the latter for accuracy. While Tropeognathus did live in South America, it did not live in Argentina 100 million years ago.

T. Rex was actually the largest terrestrial predator to ever exist and spino wouldn't be a very effective aquatic pursuit predator and most likely waded in the rivers of kemkem .

I can easily forgive the inaccuracies with the dinosaurs as this episode was made in 2003 so we've learned a lot more about the dinosaurs and other creatures here since then. It doesn't take away from my enjoyment of this episode. My favourite scene was the one where the Giganotosaurs teamed up and gradually wore down one of the young Argentinosaurs. It was sad and dramatic but it built up the Giganotosaurs as scary and formidable.

Actually looks a lot like a wolf eel's head. Bizarre...

@davidklop5779 I see it now that you say it I always thought it looked scarily human

when you review Prehistoric Park make sure to include the issue I have with it and Walking with Beast. that being it taking after the Great American Interchange rather than before it. when I found out that Life on Our Planet was doing the exact same thing I latterly through a fit.

I do think this episode doesn’t properly represent how carcharodontosaurs killed prey, especially with the scene where we see a Giga hunting an ornithopod smaller than itself, something it should have been able to one-shot right then and there. Predators that slice and bleed out prey do NOT hunt by biting prey and then just letting it run away and die, especially if the prey isn’t much larger than themselves. It’s more excusable with the scene where they kill the young sauropod, because that was something where they would need to bite repeatedly to wear down the prey, but even then they would have been making a concerted effort (either individually or cooperatively) to actually disable and bring down the juvenile sauropod before starting to feed in earnest rather than just flesh-grazing.

Meraxes was named for a dragon in a Song of Ice and Fire (game of thrones) Great review, I agree this is kinda a weak episode, but still a fun one

Yeah the Pteranodon looks wonky in this, while better than the JP & certainly JW Pteranodon designs, it’s not that good overall. But Framestore made up for it with the absolutely stunning Pteranodon design they made for Primeval.

land of giants holds a very special place in my heart as this is my firs ever exposure to a dinosaur media that wasnt jurassic park or books, this episode was also the reason giganotosaurus was my favorite dinosaur of all time, of course we now know that the animal depicted here was reassigned the new genus as mapusaurus, but the real giganotosaurus also likely lived with a contemporary giant sauropod cause of a new discovery made in 2022 of a large bone from a possible titanosaur sauropod that wouldve weighed around 70-80 tonnes when scaled off of patagotitan

It's kinda funny and confusing how it is judged as an inaccuracy that "the said timeline is 100 million years ago and Gigantosaurus lived at most 99 million years ago". Like, we have to base our knowledge about Argentinosaurus from some fragmented vertebra and leg bones, but we are sure that the extinction time of some species is exactly the latest age of the found bones? How can we be sure that more late bones just didn't survive?

For some reason, the French dub identifies the Sarcosuchus as S. imperator, even though that species only lived in Africa.

Btw the time that this episode had aired or made the fossils for Mapusaurus found were originally assumed to be still Giganotosaurus ot eas only by the time that Mapusaurus had been described,Land of Giants had long been done already.
