I'm spending a lot more time than usual researching, writing, editing, and recording these behind-the-scenes videos and I'm really, really proud of the result. I think they're easily some of my best making-of videos I've done! :D Hope you are all enjoying them as well.

The Troodon's mimicry actually reminded me of stories I've read about ravens and wolves. It's said that ravens, upon finding large animals that could be potential food, will mimic howls in order to lure nearby wolfpacks to finish off the animals and leave scraps for the ravens. I'd honestly assumed that the resolution of this video was based on that.

[@juliusroman8616]

Me too

[@ThePotatoSapien]

Like, there’s NO way troodon was that smart, but it’s not unheard of to use mimicry in this way with modern day birds. Plenty of birds use mimicry to manipulate other animals

[@lordmeow]

@@ThePotatoSapien Yeah he did say it was very speculative, but it couldn't be that far off

[@minutemansam1214]

@@ThePotatoSapien Some species of troodontids did have EQ's similar to modern day birds. Can't speak for the particular genus shown here, but it wouldn't surprise me of some species would have been similar in intellect to some passerine birds like thornbills, which do use mimicry to scare off potential predators.

[@khango6138]

@Mullerornis this is true, however we need to keep in mind that basal positioning within Aves doesn't mean that other, non-avian theropods would necessarily be considered basal to crown birds. Troodontids could have some advanced features, perhaps complex vocals, that we simply can't prove just yet due to lack of fossil material of that organ in theropods.

[@griffinhunter3206]

The Brown Thorn-bill will mimic the call of a bird called the Honeyeater which that bird uses to call for hawks in order to trick one of its predators into thinking there is a hawk around and to stop going after its nestlings, and in general a great number of birds in a wide area can learn other's calls for danger, letting more birds know that there is a hawk or snake.

[@TheGreatWolfYT]

And if you feed corvids, there's a big chance they'll bring you trinkets for it, follow you around etc, they can even tell apart humans just by appearance. Birds are smart :)

[@probablyaxenomorph5375]

There's also plenty of bird species that use alarm calls to announce a predator's presence, and those not only alert birds of the same species, but other animals recognize the calls as saying "there's a predator nearby" as well.

This is the kind of stuff that should be picked up by Netflix or some big name. This man deserves the exposure and the budget, for the amount of work and love he's putting into his shows

[@plfaproductions]

I don't think so because if he works with a big name company they will put limitations on his work and keep the rights to his work not allowing him to have all the freedom he has making short films for KZbin, a small budget is nothing to a creative mind but someone else that has almost no contact with your audience dictating what you can do and what you can't is really hard to work around and because of that most modern Hollywood movies fail, in my opinion he and his work is perfect in the way and place they are and I would be really sad if he traded his artistic integrity for more money that he apparently don't need, I think that the best for dead sound animations and david is keep growing on KZbin but that is just my opinion

It's not that likely, Arctic foxes live in a tree-less environment that switches from earthy colours to snow white without exception for a long period of the year. As already stated in the vid, the Prince Creek Formation would have endured snow occasionally and even then it wouldn't be standard for it to change into a polar-looking wilderness. It would still have woods and other vegetated habitats. It's better to compare Nanuqsaurus with gray wolves or brown bears: yes, those meet snow during winter, but they don't need to adapt their coat to it.

Plenty of mimicking birds use their skills to their advantage. Crows and Ravens especially are quite intelligent and use their mimicry and vocals to aid them in acquiring resources.

If a blue jay can mimic a hawk at a bird feeder with the intent of scaring other birds off to get the food it wants, I dont think it's far fetched that a troodon mimics the other dinosaurs.

I think it's incredible that, while you used the bones of All Days, you kept things strictly about dinos themselves in these films. Something that I always loved about movies like A Land Before Time, Walking with Dinosaurs and other films is that there is never any aspect of human interaction. There's personifying the animals, but overall, that's all it is. Animals in the wild doing what they do to survive. Reminds me a lot of sharks - they're always portrayed as evil or violent, but they usually are just hungry or have poor vision. It makes me happy to see dinosaurs just being animals every once in a while :)

Most Dinosaur stories are either documentaries or purely for entertainment.

I feel like this is what the 2013 Walking with Dinosaur Movie should have been like; this short was vastly superior in every way possible. I was particularly surprised by the shocking death of one of the Troodontid Chicks, it reminded me a lot of the death of Fang's offspring from Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal 18:00 An possible alternative to the fur-like feathering, that I've also seen in other paleoart, is that it might of had insulating layer of blubber like that of a penguin? 21:46 Another inaccuracy pertaining to Nanuqsaurus is that is could have possibly reach a larger size of 9 meters long. This increase is size would mean that the Nanuqsaurus would actually dwarf the Alaskan Troodontid, while the coating of feathers might also be less. However, this was a recent discovery; so it's understandable if you forgot to mention this in the video.

Paleontologist here! For those interested, the teeth he is referring to can be found in JVP December 2000. Another paper with partial troodon brain cases found in the same formation with potential links to Troodon formosus can be found in JVP March 2009. The reason there is so much debate with Troodon is that the first "troodon" in 1856 was both derived from a tooth and was classified as a lizard until Cope classified it as a dinosaur in 1877. During this time gap, other species that had already been named were later found to be potentially related if not the same species, meaning that their names had to change to reflect the name of the first found. And, because the first is off of teeth, that means partial skeletons/skull material would get classified as a new species/genus first before getting reclassified in relation to troodons. For those curious, wikipedia has a wonderful research timeline for Troodon if you want to see just how chaotic this animal's history has been!

From one animator and dinosaur enthusiast to another, amazing job! This was definitely a step up from Old Buck in all aspects. I can see why it's your favorite. Such a great story and execution. Can't wait to see the rest.

Honestly don’t think speculative and unlikely should be seen as inaccurate or impossible as far as we know maybe they were smarter then we give them credit for

Nice that you used a lesser known cold climate dinosaur : the Nanuqsaurus. Most people when they think of cold climate dinosaurs, they think of Pachyrhinosaurs or Yutyrannus and Cryolophosaurus. Nanuqsaurus is a dinosaur that doesn’t usually get recognition, and I love seeing the Nanuqsaurus get a bit of attention, as well as the behavior and the dinosaurs in the snow.

My favorite part of this series is how you depict these animals as... well, animals.
