Mapusaurus: The Titan Slayer

Great video, even if it took several months. Only complaints I have is that the music should be turned down, since at some parts it was hard to hear you over the it. Alongside that, I recommend listing sources in the description like I do with my videos, so that way if I say something that someone watching might not have heard before, they can check what sources I'm using, and either find new info on the topic, or point out that what I'm using (news articles, books, scientific papers, documentaries, whatever) contain outdated or false information, so I know of any mistakes I might've made. I remember watching a video by Creature Challenge where he cited an article on Amur Tigers from the World Conservation Society, and I spent at least several hours total trying to find it so I could bookmark it for future use. However, since then, it appears to have been deleted. Luckily, I did find the article I believe he used, bookmarked it, and copy-pasted the link into the wayback machine so I could use it for my video on Lions when talking about the size difference between them and Tigers, but I could've saved so much time if he just listed his sources on that video. Hope you find this lengthy comment helpful, and hope you continue to produce great content.

[@Epoch_Now]

Those are great ideas we’ll see about implementing them in our next video!

[@CalvinTheCarnotaurus]

@@Epoch_Now Thanks. I also recommend for any books you might use to list pages read to make it easier for people with said books to fact-check you.

Giga was featured in those documentaries they just labelled the herbivores wrong. Mapu died out due to scarce food source when climate changed (drought). Slow growth rate equaled less reproduction. There diet was heavily focused on Titanosaurs. Other creatures such as the Megarators and Abeilasaurs had a larger range of food such as small lizards, insects and birds so they managed to survived to the late cretaceous. They probably survived due to faster growth rate, population size and scavenging.

[@TheFallen-ff4xn]

I don’t care if mapusaurus wasn’t the biggest or strongest dinosaur it was my favorite in my eyes it will always be the GOAT

[@Reachland02]

They are the third strongest theropod after Giga and T. rex tho

@@Reachland02 my little kid dumbass thought that mapu was the biggest theropod ever for some reason I was dumb

I love the Editing by you. It’s just pure nostalgia to see these scenes from these documentations. Nigel Marvin especially. Just a legend and his music in the background just phenomenal.

We watched Giants of Patagonia at the Imax theater on a science trip in the 5th grade. I was stunned that anything at all had the size and the balls to hunt some of the largest sauropods.

[@Mike_The_Allosaurus]

fact abiyt the Size: The biggest Mapusaurus weighted 6,8-8.2 tons and was 12-12.3 meters in lenght, but a bigger estimate puts it at 8.9 tons and almost 13 meters long

I don’t know where you got all these scenes with dinosaurs but your editing is impressive.

This is an animation made by the digital paleoartist PaleoGDY, who makes animations for newly published South American dinosaur genera.

[@bkjeong4302]

The idea of carcharodontosaurs being outcompeted is very questionable given than other theropods only really took over AFTER (and because) they died out. Saying megaraptorans and abelisaurids outcompeted carcharodontosaurs is like saying smaller predators today are outcompeting larger predators into extinction (when if anything the reverse tends to happen more often during interactions, though not to the point of species extinctions) The real cause was the Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary Event. It should be noted that we actually have ZERO proper depictions if carcharodontosaurs anywhere in a documentary: not only are all of them focused on predation, they don’t even get that right and actually make them out to be far less competent at hunting than they likely were (largely as a result of misconstruing the fossil evidence, ignoring convergences with certain other predators and failing to properly understand the predatory behaviours of modern analogues).

[@j.c-6424]

Wouldn't be too far-fetched. Mapusaurus inhabited Argentina. Home to the biggest Megaraptorid in history.

[@bkjeong4302]

@@j.c-6424 Maip evolved dozens of millions of years after the last carcharodontosaurs were gone.

[@chissstardestroyer]

Well, the disappearances question really isn't valid, nor is the relation of Acrocanthosaurus as anything besides a *Spinosaurid*; here's why: *both* disappeared once the gigantic sauropods largely went away- so that basically means almost nothing.

[@precursors]

Roaring dinosaurs are so cringe in this day and age, since we already have so much information on how these dinosaurs might have actually sounded like.

Giants of Patagonia is so nostalgic. I was actually able to watch it on IMAX as a kid

​@@Epoch_Now I thought Frontiers was only in japanese translation, so I haven't tried. I loved that game, but never really dug out T-Rex because game abruptly ends with no side-mission or arena to use.
