There’s evidence that the Nanotyranus is its own creature. Tooth design (being more KNIFE-like instead of banana-like), skeletal structure and various other elements that are nothing like a T-Rex. Seriously, baby and adolescent T-Rex can’t change body structure due to growth, seriously.

The reason Walking With Dinosaurs is so fondly remembered besides portraying the dinosaurs as animals and not hollywood movie monsters. Was due to the fact that for the time the series came out (obviously not today) everything was reasonably accurate to our understanding of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles at the time. With less speculation than modern documentaries, since they were trying to show them as animals and not make them "interesting".

[@DINO_X65]

Even in the first Jurassic Park movie, it still portrays the t rex as an animals, and the other dinos as well. The T. rex could have eaten Grant and Malcolm and the kids, but it was satisfied with a goat and a cowardly lawyer. It was retconned in The Lost World that T. rexes still could see something even if it was still.

It is a real shame that Ceratosaurus was treated so badly in this series, especially given how interesting a dinosaur it is. Even it's relationship with Allosaurus was a lot more interesting than the bully/victim scenario shown on the show. There is strong evidence that Ceratosaurus and Allosaurus had a far more even predatory rivalry something skin to lions and spotted hyenas today. In areas with large Ceratosaurus populations Allosaurus numbers were limited and vice versa, just like hyenas and lions and the Ceratosaurus population may have affected Allosaurus morphology. Allosaurus in areas with high Ceratosaurus numbers had slightly shorter, stronger skulls, suggesting the presence of Ceratosaurus forced Allosaurus to hunt larger prey because Ceratosaurus had the small/medium prey niche filled. Sadly like hyenas and lions in media, we all know who the favorite is here.

Dude that's actually really cool if that's the case. I know in the When Dinosaurs Roamed America documentary it showed a scene of the Allosaurus ambushing and killing a Ceratosaurus, which back then gave me the vibe that they were helpless in comparison. That said, the Lion/Hyena predatory rivalry dynamic helps put it into perspective that just because Ceratosaurus was obviously smaller than Allosaurus, they weren't pushovers necessarily.

You’re reading the Henderson paper completely wrong. Ceratosaurus occurs at much lower frequencies than Allosaurus with the long shouted variant, meaning it was being outcompeted and could only coexist with the short snouted variant. That’s what Henderson says, anyways. All attempts to prove that Allosaurus had different morphotypes has failed until A. madseni, but that distinction has nothing to do with the skull length.

[@GoGojiraGo]

I still remember how the mother rex proceeded to tear the nanotyrannus into pieces and scatter its meat and bones and blood all around its territory as a "warning" to other predators.

Fossil evidence of many Tyrannosaur specimens suggests they died from infections in their mouths, which gives more credence to that theory.

However the point the people were trying to make was serrated teeth = ez bacteria exclusive to T. rex, that’s like saying a Great white has bacteria in its mouth because of its tooth shape, the things you’re saying explain this a lot, I just have an issue with them saying T. rex had bacteria because of a tooth shape that many other genus’s and species before it even existed

[@sliceofham3737]

Actually the bacteria isn’t a factor AT ALL in Komodo dragons as far as we can tell. It’s believed that it’s actually an unnatural occurrence due to the non native water buffalo it’s hunting. Water Buffalo defecate in water, and on an island with only still water, becomes a cesspool of filth. When attacked the Buffalo run into the water for safety, consequently dipping their fresh open wounds in feces. Kinda funny that whole misconception started from an entirely unnatural situation.

The holotype of Nannotyrannus has always been in a museum and it has been proven that it is indeed a young T. rex, when this happens, the invalid name is called a "junior synonym" and can't never be used again for another creature so even if what's in the dueling dinosaurs fossil proves to be unique it would have to be called something else.

I used or wish there was a second season, but after growing up I see now how shit this series was, perhaps shit is too strong but wasted potential that flies in the face of logical animal instinct. Dinosaurs weren’t any different from animals today, it’s like having a documentary about wolves but only showing them butchering caribou and paying no mind to their social structures and raising young. Like yea sometimes predators murder each other to scratch out competition; but they’re calculated, in an all out brawl even if the winner kills the loser they’re now severely wounded and open to infection and vulnerability to other predators. Posturing, not provocation. It’s a no shit thing to say but obviously animals don’t have stores or hospitals so energy wasted and wounds sustained can have dire consequences, treat them like animals that know that.

[@CoralReaper707]

At that point, Jurassic Fight Club might as well make the animals breathe fire, or some other dumb bs. This show is already terrible and dumb. Fire breath wouldn't even surprise me.

[@timothyserabian5103]

Don’t quote me on this, but I heard a rumor some time ago that a lot of these paleontologists were brought in under false pretenses. Promising them balanced storytelling and showcasing unique fossil beds, but then presented all their information skewed into a WWE style combat arena. So, I don’t blame paleontologists like Kirkland or Wittmer, but I can’t help looking at Blasing with some skepticism. He’s the main focus in all of the commentaries, so I can’t help but think he has something to do with it.

I love feather dinosaurs I wish there were more feather dino design

[@feuryie]

most of the complaints were explained by yourself early on. things like pronated claws weren't very popularized yet when this series came out. the only thing i could give you would be the raptors possibly having feathers but i believe this has to do with the popularity of raptor models in jurassic park (which is part of the popularity of raptors in general as before jp they were mostly ignored). and the feathered therapod theory could be argued against given the ceratasaurous mummfied body they found recently that had NO feathers. only ones i've heard actual evidence for it is the dromies. so a lot of these complaints really have to do with the information they had at the time. kind of like spinosaurus has slowly evolved from a land predator to a full aquatic beast. kind of like with hollywood depictions that could be considered sexist now it's mainly a product of its time with what limitations there were and they evolve as time goes on. look at how t rex used to walk for example vs how they have it move now to give a simple example of understanding of the anatomy of the animals. i'd say the same for the sauropods. it's just an evolution of where they are. i'm sure a lot of things today may be laughed at later on, maybe even the feathered dinosaurs. we'll have to see where new data takes us.

[@testerwulf3357]

Not all of the issues were outdated info..a lot of them were straight up lies I mean how tf could they claim the T. rex had deadly bacteria bites based on it's teeth shape?? It had no evidence to back it up and no one ever thought T. rexes had bacteria infecting bites.

[@feuryie]

@@testerwulf3357 yeah, the 'real' animal who does that is found that it actually injects venom. so no bacteria. though wounds do get infected. but i'm not surprised. seen other dino videos do similar like trying to say a spino could completely destroy a trex or gigantasaur. not sure why they push these ideas as if they were hollywood themselves.

[@BigAl2-u7e]

First of all, no actual evidence of feathers of in dinosaurs other than Dromaeosaurids? What? You ever heard of Yutyrannus or the Maniraptorians? Archaeopteryx and Alvarezsaurids also exist you know. Secondly, Red Raptor Writes only brings up feathers as a problem for the dromaeosaurids and nothing else. So you going on this entire college essay about the representation of feathers on dinosaurs is completely useless.

Ceratosaurs may have had more primitive features than Carnosaurs like Allosaurus, but they had a bright evolutionary future. Because the Ceratosaurs would pull off a comeback, and evolve into the unique and wacky Abelisaurs, which survived until the end of the Cretaceous, whereas the Carnosaurs had died out already.
