prehistoric planet simosuchus vs Majungasaurus

[@jasonalcatraz5817]

Imagine being a 20ft long apex predator weighing up to 2.5 thousand pounds, and yet you're shown up by a hissy dog crocodile that butt charges you and slaps his tail on the ground.

[@Sun-God2]

Imagine: an extremely intelligent human being, relatively agile and fast, strong, 1.80 tall, afraid of a hairy 8-legged arthropod. That's exactly what's happening in this scene.

[@yowzki7284]

​@@Sun-God2i think the Predator is more confused than scared.

@@naufallin907 They spray a foul odour from their anuses. Their loose, thick skin guards them from the SOME attacks but not all of them, which is why they actually fall prey to them. The videos you see of Honey Badgers "Owning" Lions are misinterpretations of a frightened mustelid fighting for its life against GIANT felids. (Seriously, look it up) But it still surprises me that the Majungasaurus WAS intimidated.

Clearly caught me by surprise and truly I did not see it coming, but I was absolutely surprised when I first saw the Simosuchus in the trailer fighting back against a much larger and more formidable foe such as the Majungasaurus. I cannot believe that Prehistoric Planet had Simosuchus face Majungasaurus like a honey badger going up against a lion. Absolutely crazy thing they did! But I loved the episode and the other four out now already.

[@khango6138]

@@TyrannoWright More like a distant cousin to crocodilians rather than direct ancestors! It belongs to an extinct lineage that has no modern descendants (sadly...), but they were related to true crocs with both belonging to a wider group named the Crocodylomorpha. True crocodilians were also living at the same time as Simosuchus and other crocodylomorphs, pterosaurs and dinosaurs.

0:42-0:45 That Sound the pug faced Crocodile “Simosuchus” made, I’ve heard that same sound effect before. For examples, a Lizard from the 4th episode of Jumanji The Animated Series “Ransom of Redhead”, The Cryptile Lizards from The Future is Wild, A couple clips of a Chameleon at some point in the ending credits of The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, The Juvenile T.Rex from Dinosaur Revolution AKA DINOTASIA & Both the Alaskan Troodon & baby Majungasaurus AKA Majungatholus from the 3rd episode of Planet Dinosaur “The Last Killers”. Hmm… wasn’t there another episode of Planet Dinosaur that has the same sound effect? Anyway, 0:42-0:45 It’s great to hear that exact same thrilling sound effect again after all these years.

[@Friendofthescavs]

Out of all those things you just mentioned, this is the film, where it makes sense

[@zacharybutler5944]

Everyone's so confuses as to why the huge predator doesn't just attack the smaller creature, and you gotta understand how predators act in real life. Predators have to expend more of their energy to catch their prey than the prey animals do, usually. That means that they have EVEN LESS ENERGY TO SPEND ON FIGHTING SOMETHING. That's why most predators prefer to get prey that's been worn out from a long chase or is already injured or sick, or is too scared and confused to fight back during an ambush. Preferably a mixture of those. On top of that, a lot of prey animals have instincts to just go limp and let it happen when they get taken to let the rest of their family or herd or neighbors, etc., get away safely. What we see here is an already injured Majungasaurus--she's missing an eye, which means she won't be as effective at hunting or fighting off other Manjugasaurus, and most of an animal's threats come from its own species through competition--spending a bunch of energy running after a small meal. Then she corners one, and instead of going limp or trying to hide, the crazy bastard *THREATENS TO FIGHT HER IF SHE TRIES ANYTHING.* Even if she won't actually get injured, expending all that energy on a fight that MIGHT get her hurt more--which can lead to infection and death, or just a long recovery time where she expends more energy in healing up than she got through the snack, and in the meantime might not be as effective in feeding herself--she, like real-life predators, usually won't chance it. Successful predators conserve their energy and their personal safety. They aren't mindless killing machines, they're animals with real survival needs. And hell, she might actually be scared here. Some individual animals just get spooked easily. It's risk versus reward, so *why risk it* if there's an easier source of food elsewhere?

@@adamzabielski3685 I mean, I have mentioned it twice before. For one, it was given a name so bad, that I don't even want to type it. And two, it ate an offspring from its own kind, all for the sole purpose of mating with the mother.

[@wyattrippy5939]

​@justanaveragecommentor3298 I don't think the killing of the offspring is too far-fetched. Lions do this, and even Zebras are known to induce miscarriages and kill young zebras. Of course mammals can't always be used as modern analogues for dinosaurs but as I recall there are some bird species that also kill the offspring of other birds for mating purposes.

The majungasaurus has wounds around her body, so she probably was in a fight with another majungasaurus and probably lost the fight so that's why she went to hunt some simosuchus.

[@Adasaur250]

One of the creators of the show (Darren Naish) has mentioned on Twitter that there was a storyboarded scene planned to show how she got those scars, and it actually wasn't from another _Majungasaurus_ - instead she was attacked by a _Mahajungasuchus,_ a 4 m semiaquatic crocodyliform with massive jaws. This _Majungasaurus_ can't catch a break from crocs, it seems. (Late comment, I know.)

@@tonybusch8771 Roaring is really only a large mammalian trait. People think dinosaurs should roar only because that's what's shown in the movies where dinosaurs are portrayed as man-eating monsters rather than the regular animals that they truly were. Dinosaurs were likely pretty vocal considering both avian dinosaurs/birds and their closest relatives, crocodilians, are highly vocal animals, but we don't currently have any evidence to show that non-avian dinosaurs were capable of roaring like big cats and bears.

This actually happens all the time in nature. Lions will sometimes back away from Mongooses, bears from wolverines, and Tigers from small Monitor lizards. All animals are afraid of begin injured and will avoid it whenever possible.
