Planet Dinosaur (2011) Accuracy Review PART 2 | Dino Documentaries RANKED #20

[@Ahalaya]

I vote we outlaw the use of the term "bigger" in dino docs, especially if we are going for the lazy Rex comparison. Instead, it should specify longer, taller, and/or heftier. Then there is no confusion over what "bigger" means.

[@Tyrannosaurus_rex.]

I believe it usually means mass, so T rex is infact the biggest.

[@Ahalaya]

@@Tyrannosaurus_rex. Mass wise, absolutely. However, the word can refer to other things. For instance, a beach ball is bigger than a dumbbell in terms of dimensions, but not in terms of mass.

[@Tyrannosaurus_rex.]

@@Ahalaya yes, but for animals, generally things that have bigger dimensions are heavier. A blue whale is alot more chunky than a lion mane jellyfish so it looks heavier.

[@Ahalaya]

@@Tyrannosaurus_rex. The point still remains that "bigger" does not necessarily mean "heavier". A giraffe is taller than an elephant. Spinosaurus was longer than T Rex.

[@Tyrannosaurus_rex.]

@@Ahalaya but it's still obivious that an elephant is heavier, it is wider.

[@krankarvolund7771]

Spinosaurus is an excellent evidence that one article is not all, science works with peer review and response articles correcting other scientists, so when some ground breaking article make headsline on a totally new thing for a dinosaur, we should keep in mind that it will probably change several times, before a consensus is found ^^

[@FirebonE_88]

Yet the general consensus can be seen over the last 7 years or so. Spinosaurus is clearly not the animal it was portrayed before.

No wins for accurate behaviour, despite a focus on hunting and fighting? Fine, I'll do it myself: 1. One of the two Carchars retreats after losing the territorial battle 2. The Spino decides not to mess with the Sarcho that's claimed a water hole 3. The Carchar backs off after the Spino slaps it a couple of times 4. The Epidexes don't go at each other's throats when contesting over prey, they just wiggle their tail feathers 5. The Saurornithoides doesn't chase after the Oviraptor, which is is a lost cause for it 6. The two Gigantoraptors don't tear each other to pieces during a mating rights battle 7. The Sinornithosaurus gives up chasing the Microraptor after a while instead of brutally pursuing it 8. The Sinornithosaurus decides not to directly attack the bigger Jehelo alone and instead gets the jump on it with friends 9. The Chasmosaurus is presented as a formidable opponent to the Daspletos, despite its frill and horns not being very useful protection wise. Only when other Daspletos show up does it panic and run 10. You mentioned in your previous review that the Daspletos charging into the Centro herd was suicidal. However, in one brief shot, you can see them running amongst smaller Centros, indicating they were targeting weaker juveniles. They were also NOT credited as the ones that massacred the herd, but the weather 11. You also mentioned that the Majunga targeting the other Majunga was suicidal. However, it was desperate, it had threatened her baby, and it KNEW the dangers, as it snuck up on it instead of directly attacking it 12. Am surprised there were no wins for the Stegos and Camptos symbiotic relationship 13. You already presented this as a win: Stego not being cannon fodder 14. Allo doesn't chase after the Stegos like a bloodthirsty killer after being injured 15. Allo retreats after the Saurophaganax claims its kill with a warning bite to the face 16. Predator X only tries to attack the Kimmerosaurus group after the tide rises, giving it room 17. Skorpio GTFOs after seeing an Argentino 18. Mapus take a couple of snacks and then leave after one of their pals is crushed 19. Sarco gives up after Carchar wins the tug of war instead of trying to pursue it 20. Carchar also GTFOs after the Paralatitan gang up on it for attacking their baby 21. Skorpios wait until the Mapus leave the carcass for their turn instead of swarming it like a mob 22. The Hatzegopteryx only target juvenile Magys instead of pecking the adults to death 23. The Alectro flees after the Gigantoraptor pair square up to it 24. The Alectro pair flee after one Gigantoraptor bullies them from its nest 25. The "Zunityrannus" backs off after it's slapped by the Nothro. A group shows up thinking they can do better but they retreat too after being outmatched 26. The Bradychneme is obviously scared by the Hatzegopteryx Also, no wins for that gorgeous and accurate Allosaurus design? The hatchet theory might be out there, but Carnotaurus having bright blue signalling arms also is. I wouldn't call it ridiculous, at least for the time.

Honestly, I thought planet dinosaur would not get a straight A. On one hand there are a lot of accuracies and accurate design choices for the time but in the other hand you have a lot of weird inaccuracies or somewhat funky designs. There is also a lot of healthy speculation that makes a lot of sense as well. Overall I think it does get a well-deserved B+ but not a straight A.

[@gix.y]

when I was younger I used to watch this documentary over and over because it felt the most real out of all of them, still one of my favorites to this day

[@Arvegtor]

I think the 2018 BBC series "Deadly Dinosaurs with Steve Backshall" would answer many of the questions you've had about "Planet Dinosaur". Just imagine a series that reuses footage from "Walking with", "The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs" and "Planet Dinosaur" together with its own "experiments". While it addresses a couple of wrong and outdated points from those, most are still repeated. Speaking of experiments, "Planet Dinosaur" had a companion series for younger audience "Planet Dinosaur Files", which was done in a similar format. By the way, there's a whole documentary "Predator X" about the animal and its discovery. And an unrelated question - do you have any plans to return to skipped older documentaries, like "Paleoworld" (every episode review would probably be one big "Outdated" section) or "When Dinosaurs Ruled"? There are so many paleodocs left to cover.

[@stevenelbert8989]

One other great thing about the extinction event is unlike probably every other dino documentary has it be in hell creek featuring t rex triceratops edmontosaurus and so on instead focused on the hastsag island and the dinosaurs since they lived at the same time

This is the documentary to go to when you want to learn how dinosaurs interacted with eachother, that’s the entire point of it. That ends up being a lot of predator prey relationships, but not entirely. And they definitely treat their subject matter with respect

Hey Red Raptor, I'm from Germany and I think your videos are great. Especially those you discuss documentation. Very educational. I look forward to more. I recently stumbled across a documentary on KZbin called Amazing Dinoworld. There are two episodes (on KZbin) and it shows a Mosasaurus chasing down and killing a Spinosaurus and later a T-Rex. I think that's a bit exaggerated. Maybe that would be something for you.

[@combat-greyhound565]

With Spinosaurus: I think both papers from 2021 and 2022 give valid information. I believe that Spino might hunt with the shoreline feeding method, but it was capeable to swim in the rivers just to move around its enviroment to find new feeding spots and stuff. Beeing a decend swimmer might be pretty important in a such wet enviroment if the water contains your main feeding sources, but that doesn't mean that you have to be a such good swimmer that you catch them while swimming and went for another hunting strategy.

[@victory8928]

Yeah, it is like saying alligator snapping turtles have to be adapt swimmers, they just need to be good enough. Spinosaur could have multiple hunting methods especially for different areas of the region and different seasons.

[@fabricreative1930]

Maybe if it was buoyant enough it could swim on the surface of the water in a duck like manner and strike any fish from above? Or maybe it was so dense that it walked on the bottom of the river and striked from below? There are so many possibilities.

[@victory8928]

@@fabricreative1930 spino had quite dense bones, so it probably walked on the river bottom like a hippo.

[@takenname8053]

Great video as always! :D

[@rileyernst9086]

I personally think that as Allo's jaws are a very narrow V shape it'd be maximising cutting power. Sharks use side to side thrashing to work their teeth and the serrations(denticles) on their teeth to cut through meat like a bone saw, shark's jaws are very wide and they maximise lateral cutting power, Allo could its neck and body to power fowards and backwards actions to work their teeth through meat. Their high arched skull would absorb and dissipate stress and strain the process would put on the tooth row. Same for carcharodontosaurids, although with less emphasis on neck movement.

[@victory8928]

Something I feel is important to understand about the 2021 paper is that it refutes the subaqueous pursuit model of hunting for Spino. Not the ambush model which is gaining traction now. Spino’s aquatic hunting probably was more like the hunting style of alligator snapping turtles or certain river dwelling snakes. They ambushed prey over chasing prey. The problem with the 2021 paper involvement in your claim is that it doesn’t refute the subaqueous ambush model for spino. Again, pursuit style hunting is different from ambush style hunting.

[@erikhamann]

Subaqueous ambushing doesn’t make sense either. The position of the nostrils only makes sense if he held his head above the surface, dipping the tip of the snout into the water. If he waited subaqueous, he would have needed to stick almost the entire head out of the water.

[@victory8928]

@@erikhamann if you mean surfacing the top of the skull like that sure. But it doesn’t conclusive debunk the ambush model especially if spino could have hold their breath for a long time or hunted in areas where it could take breaths with little notice, especially smaller spinos. And again, doesn’t mean it couldn’t do both. The nostrils may be so high up the snout to allow for a mix of hunting behaviours. Especially during times or areas where an ambush model doesn’t work. Although yes, it would make the position of the nostrils odd in this case. But it definitely has more weight to it than the pursuit model and doesn’t contradict the wading model. Especially if it was done by certain age ranges of spinos more frequently than others. But we can’t say much on that part anyhow.

Loved watching your review. Allosaurus is one of my favorite Dinosaurs (I like Ceratosaurus to, don't ask me wich one would win), and the theory of ramming his head into an other Dinosaur sounds hilarious. I imagine it more like (but that should be easy to correct or state it as true, if looking on the neck muscles and the movement range) a slower snake bite without ramming the upper jaw into it's victim, moving his head really fast to get a swift bite on it's prey. The combination of the teeth and bite force, as they are more suitable for slicing meat as for grabbing and braking bones, should be a good idea. I imagine Allosaurus as a relatively slender and agile Hunter for various types of prey. And the loose pack theory is highly likely, even if I like the idea of a some sort of stable group with some kind of hierarchy more. But this is just a wish.

Technically because of the outdated spino we can’t even get an accurate documentary, spinosaurus was built like a swordfish wearing a floatation device, it would spend most of it’s day relaxing, floating at the surface, basking using it’s sail and probably sleep in calmer safe areas, and for hunting it would sort of dive down and dash like a swordfish, using it’s sail, tail and back legs to propel itself forward and steer (since if it slowed down it would be floated back up to the surface) and use it’s jaws and arms to quickly snap up and stab fish with it’s thumbs before running out of energy and floating back up, and that was the main reason it spent most of it’s time floating and basking to warm up and get energy, and it would just constantly float and let itself be pushed by the waves like modern crocs do nowadays to spare energy, another thing to note is that it couldn’t stand up on land, it’s legs were too small and brittle and it’s sail would tip it over, and since it’s so big and heavy crawling was just not an option, so seriously this dude did nothing but float around reevaluating it’s life choices and wondering why it went from such a powerful predator like megalosaurus and megaraptor into this thing that just does nothing but float, occasionally diving down to catch fish since there was barely nothing at the surface

Honestly, I found Planet Dinosaur to be very disappointing. The first episode felt like a proper follow-up to Walking with Dinosaurs, if a bit janky. The second episode was also OK. But then come the third episode and the problem hits in that there's FAR too many episodes focusing on "TEH MOST BLLODFIRSTY DINOS LOLZ!!1!" Seriously, the only episode not dedicated to theropods was Episode 5. To describe it in one word, it felt "Americanized". When Walking with Dinosaurs, and later Prehistoric Planet, put so much focus on covering the lives of these prehistoric creatures (speculative, maybe, but they still felt like you were following living, breathing animals), this honestly feels like the sort of thing your standard American-made documentary would make - just a bunch of big scary dinosaurs killing each other. Which is ironic considering if you swap the words in "Planet Dinosaur" around, you get an American dino-docu that DOES actually try to tell a good (if cheesy) story and doesn't strictly try to portray its creatures as the most awesomesauce killers out there. Planet Dinosaur is by no means the worst dino-docu out there, far from it. But, for me personally, it's one of the most disappointing.

In reference to the beginning. Damn you Spinosaurus for being so confusing. For real though, there's a reason it's my favorite.

[@dont-hurt-me2519]

This is going to sound odd, seeing as it isn't a documentary (but it is educational), have you ever thought of reviewing the episode of the Magic School Bus TV Series; The Busasaurus?

[@greekcomenterperson446]

Tysm for that the batman clip, noone would ever want to not see that

[@sannicfann3338]

With the whole thing on Allosaurus predation here's some speculation: First the bite force measurement is a bit invalid. Paleo Nerd in his JFC debunking vids said that that test was done with a scale to Big Al who wasn't fully grown, so adult specimens likely had a much stronger bite. And for how they killed here's a possibility I came up with. There teeth do seem to be much wider than other theropods (obviously excluding tyrannosaurids) and much larger forearms (excluding spinosaurids). Since many of it's prey were slow moving and heavily protected from the back, perhaps they would ambush, run to the front (they are believed to be surprisingly fast for their size) and bite down on the shoulder blades followed by latching their claws in for leverage before using they're powerful neck muscles to rip out a huge chunk. The wide mouth may also reinforce their predation or pseudo predation of Sauropods and using the behavior Mapusaurus used in this documentary of ripping out chunks without killing it. Though I'm no paleontologist, I'm just some guy who loves to learn about dinosaurs and pointing out possibilities so if there are any flaws with this idea, go nuts in your responses

[@erikhamann]

All the fossil evidence of predation (hunting) in Dinosaurs shows only attacks on juveniles or much smaller species.

This entire documentary is the reason why I love Mapusaurus despite the fact it’s just a carchar reskin

[@StopMotionDryptosaurus]

I thought this was going to be a C or D because of the issues that were in part 1. I wonder what’s next for documentary reviews, plus… can you please do a review of Walking With Dinosaurs 3D. It comes in 2013.

[@maxrichards3881]

Yeah, part 2 is A- material, and fixes many issues that part 1 had. The reason the problem section lasted so long here is because a lot of what Red Raptor said was new, so he had to go more in depth with it. The Hatchet bite section lasted 2 whole minutes.

[@groque1654]

Ah now your most requested review will be prehistoric planet

[@tyrannotherium7873]

I mean it’s better than dinosaur revolution. At least they treated the dinosaurs as animals instead of revolution they did not. They treat him as like cartoon sense of humor, which I don’t appreciate.

[@christosdoesthings]

And instead of treating them like animals they treat all herbivores aside from stegosaurus as walking meat ready to be eaten.

6:23 They never said that Rugops was strictly a scavenger.

[@maxrichards3881]

The narrator said in episode 1 that it’s “no killer”. The full episode is available on KZbin if you want to check my work.

[@ashwinnmyburgh9364]

Wait, so did Spinosaurus walk on four legs or not? I haven't been able to keep up with that whole thing and thought that they knucklewalked.

[@redraptorwrites6778]

No, they walked on two.

[@SirBungaminJames]

Could you make a video discussing theropods Bahariasaurus and Deltadromeus? Delta has had a complete reclassification, and I want to hear your take on the matter

[@adamtruong1759]

I have two questions that Planet Dinosaur made me raise: 1) By the logic that once the large sauropod went extinct, and in turn causing the major predator in area to die out, too, would that mean Tyrannosaurus would go extinct once Alamosaurus did? While I really don't think that would be the case, I'm not sure either. 2) Why did Allosaurus have such a strong skull in the first place?

[@Why79-dx4rf]

No because t rex primarily preyed on animals around its size like triceratops as opposed to the large carcharodontosaurids who evolved to prey on sauropods.

[@IRONPRIMEA7]

Mapusaurus is my second favourite Dinosaur ever everything about it is just cool this is the documentary that makes me love this Charcharadontosaur

[@fps2711]

I hope he make an Amazing Dinoworld Accuracy Review video

[@calebbusing6171]

Have you done a video with the accuracy of Walking with Cavemen?

[@SHDUStudios]

Good to see another fan of YDAW

[@dantewhite9117]

You still Prehistoric Planet to look forward to once it comes out. In the meantime, try looking into Amazing Dinoworld 2021 by Curiosity Stream.

[@doug_b330]

I know I may be late for the upload, but what in the case of Mapusaurus actually being that of Giganotosaurus? Both are in the same family group.

[@noahgarcia2711]

I wonder when will you do Prehistoric Planet?

[@rextexan4727]

I hope you also do the curiosity stream dino docummemtary

[@ProxxRoxx]

Are there 2 different Versions of this Show? Because some of the Dinosaurs shown here are not seen in my (german) Version 🤔

[@FalseBavariaKing]

Hey can you rank a Dino doc called dinosaurs in the outback, if you can that would be great but I bet you have other docs you plan to do
