Thx for covering maip, it’s such a slept on Dino with so much interesting facts about it

[@PrehistoricRager]

No problem! And you are right about Maip. Many people don’t really acknowledge Megaraptorans much. They have shown us so much about dinosaurs. They are such incredible animals.

[@StinkNuggets]

I love how u call the dinos something like astonishing, bold and stuff because it shows how much u love these animals and think of them as magnificent and stuff rather than others who call them monsters or stuff just to make them cool and stuff

11:23 THE DUCK KING! Nice video just subscribed. :)

[@rosastephens8966]

Wow..just discovered this you-tuber.EXCELLENT report,very informative AND entertaining. New sub!

[@PrehistoricRager]

Thank you🙏

[@OMNH1188]

Saurophaganax should be in the top 5 cause the leviathan specimen weighs 8 tons

[@dinospinosaurus]

This video is fine the way it is

[@Aulus-Rinconuser-xd7pc4ll3k]

I think the meaning you showed for Oxalaia Quilombensis, it means Oxalá's Quilombo Lizard.

[@PrehistoricRager]

Yes, you are correct. I must have gotten confused with what Machado described the animal. Thanks, Aulus-Rinconuser-xd7pc4ll3k!

[@mateussousa1236]

The highest estimate of the second Giganotosaurus specimen is 15% larger, being 14.72 meters long. But if it is 2% as the first specimen is 12.8 m, the second will be 13 m but if it is 10% it will be 14.1 m. I saw it in a new Spanish video.

[@maozilla9149]

nice video

[@The-Macdoo]

Corrections: Saurophaganax was likely a basal Carcharodontosaurid and could've weighed up to 7 tonnes. Mapusaurus could've weighed up to 9.5 tonnes. Deinocheirus could've weighed more than 8 tonnes. Both Rex and Giga were 10.4 tonnes. It's possible that both Tarbo and Zucheng were bigger than what's shown here. Sucho could possibly be over 5 tonnes and might be on the list

[@PrehistoricRager]

Thank you for the corrections, M Blocker! Hopefully I could use these facts in a later video! And your final part of your comment gave me the idea to make another megatheropod video! Thanks again, M Blocker! Have a good day!

[@IDontKnowAGoofyName]

Technically some newer studies shows that a giga can only reach up to 8 tonnes, not 10

[@Douma-uPpeRm0on2]

Thank you for common sense and knowledge on giga and rex size

[@SlothOfTheSea]

My man called a siphonophore a jellyfish species thing 😭

[@dukecity7688]

The Dromaeosaur art is just beautiful. I'm almost as old as these animals. I admire your spirit and enthusiasm. Do you know Ben G Thomas? Thanks buddy

[@PrehistoricRager]

Hey, I appreciate what you said, and I know a bit about Ben G Thomas! I watched a video of his a month ago! He's amazing!

[@dukecity7688]

I look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@karmakumchok3122]

Spinos maxium weight is 22 tons

[@PrehistoricRager]

That was an outdated estimate

[@shughes108]

[@FAME-YT_137]

Nice just subscribe you! :)

[@adriannegrete9586]

You actually didn't include Gigantoraptor.

[@PrehistoricRager]

Unfortunately, Gigantoraptor weighs 2 to 2.7 tons. Therefore, it is not big enough to be a megatheropod

[@Shimosevilbrother99]

[@PrehistoricRager]

Well Mrex771, if you remember, I explained how I will be talking about some megatheropods and then the 5 largest. I'm sure you can understand that. You are quite right about the top 5 though! Thanks for the information and have a good day!

[@AgroAcro]

That Giga estament is based off of extremely fragmentary remains and definitely isn't super reliable. Using only reliable size T.rex is the biggest for now.

[@PrehistoricRager]

@@AgroAcro Yeah, Tyrannosaurus is the largest still...

[@Compsognathus09]

And the Gastralia aka belly ribs are higher up on a giga than a rex representing more bulk on a Rex than a giga. Meaning rex is heavier there for bigger.

[@AgroAcro]

@@Compsognathus09 Yeah, also if you look at the skeleton from the front you can easily see just how much wider T.rex is.

[@gallior7562]

So is that how you say “Maip”?

[@PrehistoricRager]

Many people pronounce it that way, so I’m sure that’s a way to pronounce Maip

[@KaijuUniverse_sucks]

Gonna just quickly disagree with this title, burp.

[@Shimosevilbrother99]

All wrong

[@Compsognathus09]

How? Almost all of his facts are correct and he even covered unpopular it slept on dinosaurs.

[@Shimosevilbrother99]

@@Compsognathus09 wrong lol. Most of these estimates are outdated. Just because he said T rex is the biggest doesn't mean he got every theropods stats correct. Plus T rex isn't even the biggest theropod anymore. Top 3 biggest theropods right now. 1. Giganotosaurus- 10.5 tons 2. T rex- 10.4 tons 3. Mapusaurus- 9.2 tons

[@Compsognathus09]

@@Shimosevilbrother99 Gigas were actually more slender than a rex but the same length and height as there Gastralia is higher up the a rexes showing there would be more bulk on a Rex. Causing it to be heavier.
