In regards to Velociraptor-"It was apparently alone, and wasn't exactly in control of the situation." That's probably my favorite line of the video. Any kind of predation attempt that has a good possibility of ending in getting your arm shorn off in the mouth of the herbivore you're hunting is in my mind an attempt born from desperation, not choice.
@antonbrakhage490 Жыл бұрын
To be fair, there's no real way we can know if the Velociraptor was alone. It might have simply been the only one who died and got fossilized. The two being quickly buried (say the collapsing sand dune hypothesis) could explain why survivors (or anything else for that matter) didn't scavenge the remains.

As a falconer who lived in AZ, observed wild Harris Hawks, and hunted with wild caught Harris Hawks, you've got a fundamental misunderstanding of pack hunting in Harris Hawks. They are a true pack, different individuals have specific roles, they care for their old and wounded. This is not just cooperative hunting. It's pack mentality.

@@palaeo_channel that's difficult for me to say. My observations are of a 5 year window of time, it was easy to id some of the old ones, and of course the juveniles. To give you a little insight, when we went to trap a juvenile for use in Falconry, we'd put out a trap under any of the birds. The birds recognize the trap as being an easy target so they start squawking and soon you have 4 or more juveniles hanging around watching the trap. It isn't rare to end up with several juveniles on the trap at once. This indicates to me that they have deeper thought than many think.

To help the channel grow as it deserves Giganotosaurus should be next profile, as it is nowadays, probably, the most searched dino. Carnotaurus, T-Rex and Spinosaurus would be other great choices their popularity never falls down. Or you can make the opposite by doing vids about Dimetrodon, Microraptor, Rugops etc, wich are popular and interesting aswell but there is way more less material in youtube about them. Another way, i would like to watch more often is talking about "groups" and not individual species, like "ceratopsians profiles" or "stegosaurians profile". Something i really apreciate is a pic to know exactly what are the bones that we really know about a fossil, sometimes is a 10% or a 90%.. but its not the same to have a pair of back legs, than 1 front and 1 back leg, not the same to have a partial skull or a complete skull, for me is better to have half of the column and half of the tail, than a full column or a full tail.... As paleontology is constantly changing as we discover more and more, is usefull at least for me to be able to make my own mental image about a dino. Deinonychus claw, was obviously a multitool used for climbing, killing, punching, stability, interspecific combat, scratching, tikling, comunication (some animals use their steps to send info to other individuals) sexual display (hahaha my claw is bigger!).... it has so many options ^^ Best wishes to your channel!

I’d always imagined that most “raptors” of the smaller variety hunted much like African wild dogs. Some can have large packs, while others can be just a few individuals. As with Orcas, considered all one species more or less, hunting techniques can be quite varied depending on food source and environment. Some specialize in hunting big game using a pack, while others prefer ambush with one or just a few individuals, and some even do pursuit predation. I’m subbing and hope you make more content.

So, in regards to the theory of it climbing trees, how would it do that if it can't really use its hands/wrists? I love the video!
@adambeckett83943 жыл бұрын
Its hands are similar in design to Microraptor, so if it was capable of tree climbing, it would have done so in a similar way; using its hand claws and forward/outward arm motion to basically "hug" the surface of the tree, whilst using its two main toes and leg muscles to propel it upward. However, unlike Microraptor, it wasn't a glider; it was way too big and heavy for that. So it might be able to get up a tree, but getting down is a totally different ballgame. So the tree climbing theory is looking more and more shaky as more is learned about Deinonychus; it is simply too big, weighs too much, and it's agility would be sacrificed up in the trees, making it impractical for anything more than a panic escape from a bigger predator, which it could probably outrun on land quite easily. Sorry for the text wall, but blame yourself for asking an interesting question!

Excellent presentation especially on their osteology and physiology. I had the honor of meeting Dr. John Ostrom at a dinosaur conference in the year 2000. Recent studies of the distal phalanx on the second digit of the so called killer foot toe has a very heavier heel on it proximal end. This strong robust enforcement of the phalanx is similar to phalanx found in tree hopper woodpeckers. Its likely that the smaller Raptors were arboreal hunters of small birds, lizards amphibians and insects. The inward facing hands helped with holding prey. However larger Raptors like Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor may have adapted to catching larger prey. More studies are need to understand their behavior and prey resources. If you approached a dromaeosaur from a distance you would think it was some strange looking bird. Great presentation!

RPR can easily be used on prey larger than the dromaeosaur (and extant raptors can pull this off as well, sometimes on prey far heavier than themselves). Re: pack hunting, considering there are multiple extant species that can hunt with genuine organization/coordination (taking turns, positioning, etc) despite fighting over food, not being mammals, and/or not living in family groups, the idea Deinonychus couldn’t have been a pack hunter because it fit none of these three supposed requirements is a hypothesis based on a false dichotomy.

Dromaeosaurs should team up with Ankylosaurs to start a party.

these scientists have never seen a big dog or big cat hunt, they use both their claws and their bite force as well as their mass (their body weight) to take down prey, usually a running jump, latching on to the throat with jaws and throwing prey off balance before killing, if working in packs they would probably work together the same way wolves do. i've always assumed this as an avid nature documentary watcher.

I've always liked deinonychus, it is to my mind the quintessential non avian raptor.

I know it wouldn't be popular for scientists to do it... but perhaps they should rename.. or rather ADD the name Velociraptor to Deinonychus (as a secondary name) due to the wide publicity it has already earned from films (video games and toys probably already). Then take the original Velociraptor and give it a brand new name. It looks kinda Pesty anyways... maybe ... Pestosaurus? heh Pestage

If you watch my other videos you will see how hard it is to change a dinosaur’s name.

@@palaeo_channel Listen here Andrew.... you just march right on down there and get them to change those names. No just kidding man.. I saw some of them and am aware of how screwed up it all is. I know the Brontosaurus has a different name too because it received the other one first... but I still call it the Brontosaurus. Of course we also live in a society where we drive on the Parkway and park in the driveway. Sigh

If you think of animals as combustion engine birds are two strokes mammals are four strokes.
