I remind you that this video doesn't want to be a "Before the dinosaurs were much cooler". Absolutely not, this video was made to show the progress paleontology has made over the years. I probably missed some details, but please understand that all this work was done by one person. That said, thanks for the support!

It's also hard to agree with anyone who says most modern T. rex isn't the coolest.

[@jonathanche6553]

I appreciate that the 90's rex is styled after 90's paleoart rather than the usual Jurassic Park design that's used. Great video!

[@Frøstbite_titananims]

Eu aprecio o design de 2010 e também o de 1940

[@girlbuu9403]

I remember seeing that in the 80s. I think it might be better to say when that was definitive, as the 70s and 80s was a revolutionary time for paleontology, when dinosaurs were first being thought of as more an 'in between' for reptiles and birds then purely reptilian.

[@jlooks95]

Jurassic park was fairly close much more than shown

[@TheGryfonclaw]

I see what you’re saying, but to be fair to early 90s Jurassic Park, it was intended to be as scientifically accurate as possible for its time. The first Jurassic Park models wouldn’t necessarily be a shortcoming.

[@jdrexy4459]

This video didn't use the JP T-rex's roar either.

[@Phinal_Flash]

For those who don't know, they were originally designed with 3 claws on each hand because a more complete skeleton wasn't discovered yet. So, they had to estimate based off other dinosaurs like the Allosaurus, which had 3 claws.

[@jesseback3536]

Ahh I see. Thanks for the info. Makes sense now.

[@Saintphoenix86]

i was pretty sure its actually the small toe that doesnt touch the ground was incorrectly placed on the hand because they thought it was a finger due to its small size

[@Maxdady01]

The 2020 Rex is terrifyingly good!

[@Dragonstorm62190]

Yeah, but weak in color. Like modern birds a male should have bright orange or red colors over his eyes and down the length of snout. With a bright red or blue throat and chest.

[@catpoke9557]

@@Dragonstorm62190 Probably not, actually. Large ground based predators need camouflage, in general, to catch their prey. Dinosaurs are also able to see in full color, which makes it even more important for something that HUNTS dinosaurs to not have bright colors, unlike modern birds. Birds strike from above so camo isn't as important. They also usually hunt animals with limited color vision. Basically, bright colors are viable on small fast animals that can fly or hide under brush. It's not viable for large predators. Though herbivores of all sizes can be bright. Herbivores just need to be fast enough or strong enough to escape a predator. Camo is optional

[@Dragonstorm62190]

@catpoke9557 Well, maybe, but it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that a male would have a brightly colored throat.

[@genus.species3362]

Thank you for not using the JP T. rex in the 90s section lol. Jurassic Park did revolutionize Dinosaurs for a ton of people. But it still wasn't paleoart. This was a nice watch, seeing the way our perception of these animals changes throughout the years will never get old to me. Especially because it likely won't ever stop. I might have problems with the way dinosaurs are handled in pop culture. But i have deep respect for early paleoart. And speaking of. I was not expecting the nostalgia gut punch seeing all the artwork from the 2000s and 2010s in the background lol.

[@thedukeofchutney468]

To be fair the 2000 Rex was essentially Jurassic Park in a different color scheme. Plus all in all the Rex in JP was pretty darn accurate for the time.

[@genus.species3362]

Well, like i said. Jurassic Park was accurate for its time, and revolutionized dinosaurs for a lot of people which i happened more now a days in dinosaur movies. But, Jurassic Park's Tyrannosaur still wasn't our perception of the animal itself in the 90s. Paleontologists didn't see Jurassic Park's Tyrannosaurus as teh definitive T .rex.

[@benjammin3381]

Who are you speaking for exactly? I dont recal rex really having any distinct look before the movies came out, which quickly became THE look of the animal and the fact that most people today can recognize and likely name it speaks volumes to how iconic this look really is.

[@genus.species3362]

Again, i'm not criticizing the jurassic park design. But it was not the definitive portrayal of the animal. You can even see pictures of other 90s depictions behind the 90s T. rex model. Which itself isn't the JP rex. Yes, it was iconic. But it wasn't the only or most up to date T. rex at the time.

[@thedukeofchutney468]

@@genus.species3362 But it kinda was. Sure there were others versions. But none were nearly as popular and even these other versions nearly always drew inspiration from the Jurassic Park version. Heck you said it wasn’t THE version past tense I’d argue that it was THE version all the way up till 2009 or so and in the public consciousness it is still the most recognizable design for the dinosaur.

I love how you can see the animal gets progressively more intimidating with time as its reconstructions became more accurate.

I am sure some animals do get less scary with time, but T. rex went from a big lizard to a nightmare fueled terror bird.

It always looked like an animal! Even the first one! What the hell makes the others less like an animal to you? They all look equally realistic. People like you are so pretentious and condescending! What does an animal have to have in order to resemble an animal? An animal can have exposed teeth, and animal can have a dragging tail, and animal can be lean with a big head, and an animal can have osteoderms. The only thing close to not being realistically animal-like is the shrink-wrapping on the 90s Rex, but that is easily fixable. Just remove the bone protrusions and it's realistic!

[@Persona6Blue]

@@atriox7221 For sure for sure, I love the big boy rex we have. Now... can we please get some concrete discovery on the spinosaurus so it's not changing every 2 years?

[@catpoke9557]

We actually added feathers to T. rex for a good reason. Basically we discovered that coelurosaurs were feathered animals, and at the time, every coelurosaur we were finding with integument had feathers. This changed after a bit of course with us discovering nothing but scales on tyrannosaurids. But at the time, it seemed feathers were universal for coelurosaurs. So our best bet, given that we were just guessing with T. rex, was to make it at least partially feathered.

[@Persona6Blue]

@@catpoke9557 Oh I'm aware, I'm partial to the the rex we have now BUT there were some nice looking feathered renditions

[@mayortyranno4645]

It has been over 100 years since it was first discovered and the evolution from the 1st to the newest design, it has finally given us the conclusion on why it is called the Tyrant lizard King

The feathering patterns are one of the things that will take more time to fully understand. Gigantism cause the body to produce excess heat, requiring less insulation. This can be seen in elephants with their hair.

It's incredible to see how much perception have changed - In the early days of Paleontology, prehistoric animals were seen as antediluvian monsters, almost sort of a novelty with a retro touch. Nowadays, they're reconstructed much like true living animals. Even more impressive would be doing the same kind of video with some Dromaeosaurid, in nowadays' most up-to-date reconstructions they truly almost look like toothed birds with claws sticking out the wings and a longer tail. But yet, almost birds.

How does it feel more calculating? What nonsense is that? That feel is deluded by the fact that's not intelligent to calculate. It also looks more weird and goofy. T.
