It’s obvious how much passion and respect has been put into this from just the trailer alone. I love dinosaurs and seeing someone who loves them just as much is amazing, and I can tell that you'll be portraying dinosaurs as the animals they were, not movie monsters and that’s something that is sorely needed. Your ability to combine up to date information, speculation and your own cel-shaded style is truly outstanding, and to see how far you've come from a project like "Sharp Teeth", which was just over 2 years ago is mindblowing. I just wanted to say thank you, for not only this series but everything you have done. You have inspired not only me but countless others and I’m excited for what this series and the future holds.

It never hurts to remind ourselves that dinosaurs weren't towering kaiju wanting to destroy everything around them. They were just animals, but that doesn't make them any less majestic or beautiful, because lots of our modern day animals are fantastic to watch and witness up-close. Seeing a T-Rex is impressive, but so is seeing an elephant, a tiger, or a polar bear. I'm really eager to see what comes of this series.

This is the documentary we’ve been waiting for so long!

So, the Trex was most likely naked, as is evidenced in one of the shots. The Nanuqsaurus wasn’t, though. And I believe the feathered tyrannosaurid in the winter environment is Nanuqsaurus, rather than Trex.

[@jasonvoorhees5180]

The white feathered tyrannosaurids we see here in the trailer aren’t T.rex itself but a smaller relative called _Nanuqsaurus hoglundi_ . The T.rex is the larger species we see in the brown colored background shots (1:46 and 2:36)

[@redeye4516]

People used to say a feathered tyranosaurid wouldnt look intimidating because it would look too much like a bird. If they want to stand in front of the thing, more power to them but I'm no snack. I'd still be plenty terrified of such a thing, if anything the feathers just make it look bigger.

[@mozarteanchaos]

@@enfieldlammergeier afaik, it's _technically_ possible t. rex had a light coat of simple feathers, but it certainly wouldn't've been extensive or particularly dense - and even that's looking increasingly unlikely. so, t. rex with "peach fuzz" is sorta plausible (and a fully scaly t. rex is just as (if not more) likely), but a t. rex with integument like the old saurian model is indeed impossible. and, yep, afaik that's not a t. rex

[@echopeak5953]

@@enfieldlammergeier Many of the T-Rex's ancestors and closely related species had been found with various amounts of feathers, which is important to keep in mind. Some even have variations of both skin, feathers and bird-like scales, akin to an ostrich (which has a belly and the back of the neck of bare skin, similar to the discovered locations you mention on the T-rex). The t-rex lived in both open areas and forests. Very few modern animals have bare skin all over, as this is not effective at temperature control (unless you wished to lose as much heat as possible) and also not effective camouflage. Many animals today have camouflage, even if not exact, they still somewhat match their environment. You mention the Nanuqsaurus (an interesting google search, thanks for letting me know), Which is incredibly closely related to the T-rex (same sub-family) and is completely covered in feathers, bar the face and feet. It did evolve before, which could mean that a large amount of the feathering dissappeared. Nanuqsaurus was known to lived around 71-68 million years ago, and the T-rex lived around 68 to 66 million years ago. I'm not a proffesional biologist but I doubt that 3 million years is enough time for feathers to completely disappear. What I am interested in, if the T-rex did not have some feathers or related structures, is what it had instead. It couldn't have had reptilian scales, since they evolved in a different manner to avian ones. The skin prints I believe you are referring to are tiny and in places already shared by partially feathered ancestors. Please let me know if I am wrong or you are referring to another more recent discovery, as I would love to learn more.

I like both also. I don’t like the large majority of the dino/paleo community because of all this toxicity on how dinosaurs should look. Just enjoy it or leave there’s always a different artists version of them elsewhere

@@ianr8060 Exactly. I don't care if a dinosaur is inaccurate, I just don't want a Stegosaurus to fight a T-Rex in the Cretaceous.

That styracosaurus is legitimately one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen

[@minutemansam1214]

I legit nearly cry. I've always had a passion for dinosaurs since I was but a little cub. They've always fascinated me in a way that no other clade of organisms have. I've been waiting for something like this for ages. Not since Walking with Dinosaurs have I been so enamored by a project that aims to depict dinosaurs as living, breathing, thinking, and feeling animals, and not just monsters out for blood.

[@Kayakasaurus]

Wow this is really good

[@ktmeyer5051]

I just have to say that this looked so amazing. The designs of these animals are outstanding and it really looks like you tried to make them as accurate as possible. Can't wait to see the whole series!

[@Overweight_Lizard]

I love the animal designs and the my most favourite designs so far is the Pachyrhinosaurus design as it takes on the bison like appeal

[@mimicproduction3814]

There are three types of pachyrhinosaurs one is with feathers if I am not wrong

Okay I don't see anyone mentioning yet how perfect the music is? Because my god, it's perfect

I was planning on going to college to become a paleontologist until I got spinel stenosis I've been stuck at my parents house now for 5 years it ruined my dream after seeing this trailer I'm crying tears of happiness someone finally understands the pure beauty of these animals and I love that you made them completely accurate so thank you and I wish you incredible luck

[@evolutionary_mistake2146]

Oh my GOSH, this looks absolutely stunning! Most amount of scientific accuracy in one place that I've seen in a *very* long time. I love that it's just dinos going about their daily lives and not being Hollywoodized for it. Cannot wait for the series!

“Sharp Teeth” was the first of your animations I saw, and is still my favorite. This is so exciting!!!

[@brianlevine871]

This trailer alone was breathtaking! The colors are gorgeous, the environments are atmospheric, the animals themselves look amazing, and their behavior and sound effects feel believable. I especially love the dromeosaur in the snowy forest making those clicking sounds with its beak. It really enlightens our recent understanding of dinosaurs in many ways. Can't wait for the series itself!

[@XerxesTexasToast]

This is some of the best dino media I've seen in years. The art style is delightful, I love the color choices, and the DINOS! The big fluffy arctic theropods, the fuzzy ceratopsians from the same area, the way all the other ornithischians moved, and, of course, how our sole classic dromaeosaur in this trailer just looks like a horrible goose made of knives. God, I love dinosaurs.

[@Tyrannosaur87]

This looks absolutely phenomenal, the only minor criticism on my part would be the lack of shadows cast by the animals. Aside from that, absolutely superb work. I cant wait to see more

[@douglasgorde5823]

It just connected with me the Troodon (?) at the beginning was mimicking the sounds made by the falling icicles, like a parrot or a raven. That’s such a creative idea to give dinosaurs talents like that nobody ever thinks of!!!!

[@michaelkelley1787]

Your artistic design of dinosaurs are some of the best I’ve seen on this platform. The way you present them reminds me of why I love these creatures so much. Words cannot express how excited I am to see more of your work with the subject that I and most other people here love :).

[@mepinminerals]

Bro, the animation quality, physics, color theme and scheme, the accuracy looks of dinosaurs, the music, the behavior of dinosaurs and the things they do other than being reptilian monsters who never gets tired mauling other creatures. It's just. *PERFECTION.*

[@Commander-Ledi]

i really love how much effort you have put in displaying them as believable real animals rather than cool fantasy monsters. there is never enough dinosaur focused media doing this

This is, to put it simply, a love letter to paleontologists and paleo-enthusiasts!😍🦖🦕❤️

[@ainsley4853]

I think one of the most impressive things about this, besides the obvious quality of the animation is how well you expressed the size of the dinosaurs. That feeling you get watching Jurassic park when you see the Bronto for the first time, or seeing a wolf or beat in person. The realization of ‘oh, this animal is enormous and beautiful’
