[@IndominusGojira]

The Therizinosaurus is by far my favorite non-carnivorous dinosaur. It's so cool and unique.

[@IndominusGojira]

@masterbaiter8961 If I had to pick it would either be the Edmontosaurus or the Ankylosaurus.

[@thelimon4338]

⁠​⁠​⁠@masterbaiter8961 all this talk about whats your favorite and what about your other favorite congratulations Master-Baiter you masterbaited me NOW I HAVE to ask what’s yours??

I find the more recent designs to be more intimidating. The idea of a killer pigeon built like a giant bear with long claws is haunting...

[@dezember25th]

Fun fact for Therizino (Zino) in Fossil Fighters: It has horrible accuracy and misses most shots, but has a 100% crit chance whenever it does! Its often used with Deinocheirus (who lowers enemy evasion) and Ornithomimus (who raises team main fighters accuracy) to balance it for constant crits!

[@Riley-lh6cr]

You brought back some nostalgia I had for that game. I remember that team.

[@dimetrodon2250]

Any sort of knock/blowback skill or attack to its allies and its crippled.

[@christosdoesthings]

8:19 Something that i rarely see brought up that is worth mentioning: The therizinosaurus design, from jurassic world, the high budget blockbuster movie.... IS COPIED FROM A SLEICH TOY. No i am not kidding, the sleich therizinosaurus toy, is nearly identical.

[@relicthominoid]

Came here to write that lol

[@Penguinboy400]

I actually have that figure, and yes i can clarify that is true

[@DeadSound]

I have been watching every episode of this series waiting for the moment I might get a mention! XD So nice to see SAURIA mentioned on here, and very impressed you’d seen and referenced the behind-the-scenes.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Haha, I regret not doing it sooner! Dinosauria is one of my favorite pieces of paleo media. (Still trying to figure out how I handle all depictions in this series). For what it’s worth, I think your Parasaurolophus is among the best!

[@darklordofsword]

I uh... i think the theri from Tarbosaurus: The Mightiest Ever is a straight lifted asset from Chaser by Dinosaurs. They look identical and there was a period when CG assets from the Walking With series were getting lifted for unrelated low-budget movies (like the Allosaurus anf Entelodon in that one The Lost World adaptation).

[@alistairtoner4038]

The Lost World was made by the same production company as Chased by dinosaurs, Tarbosaurus definitely wasn't

[@darklordofsword]

@@alistairtoner4038 still looks like a lifted asset.

[@govardhanposina17]

​@@darklordofswordbecause it's the exact same model with barely any modifications

[@DYXAnims69]

The Tickle Chicken is here

[@AnAmericanMusician]

The feather duster.

[@michaelmcclelland2208]

I'm a Theri main in PoT, and I agree with everything you said in this video. Glad you didn't skip it.

[@ivanlol7153]

If Theri is the tickle chicken, Deino is the tickle duck.

[@IMADINOSAURNOTABIRD]

Does it not look more like a pelican to you? I can imagine one aggressively choking a Hugh fish down its gullet in true pelican fashion.

[@stendec6649]

However, the scientifically correct Spinosaurus is a tickle newt😆

[@IMADINOSAURNOTABIRD]

@@stendec6649 tickle tadpole

[@dont-hurt-me2519]

You'll most likely do this in another catch up video but a few interpretations of Nothronychus & Beipiaosaurus that you missed are their appearances in the Land Before Time series. Beipiaosaurus was featured in the 13th film (Wisdom of Friends) & Nothronychus was in the 14th film (Journey of the Brave)

[@aarw4907]

I was literally just about to say this

[@coltontodd353]

This dinosaur has always been an awesome one. How about adding Pachyrhinosaurus to the poll?

[@JurassicReptile]

That turtle with claws is super cool actually

[@Geniusprimate]

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

Absolutely awesome video! I love your commentary and just the sprinkles of teaching paleo knowledge here and there. Thanks for doing this series so much, I love them a lot and I love your videos!

[@rappy_nur24]

I love this series, keep it up!

[@suttiluck5741]

The best video yet❤❤❤

[@creepy6208]

The head of the therizino from Speckles looks more like the head of Daeodon at 6:02 💀

[@JaxanOBirdy]

Before the 10K Tyrannosaurus video, maybe just maybe we could have the well deserved "Many interpretations of Edmontosaurus" video (Please Please Please)

[@cristhianmlr]

Theri was only known for it's arms when Dino Crisis 2 was finished, and by the time it finally released, more of the dinosaur was publicly know. Waiting on Zoo Tycoon mentions!

[@Doofus_dilophosaur]

Great video dude! (Also this guy is way too underrated)

[@nozmoscadinha]

Great video, Therizinosaurus is really unique! I would love to see a many interpretations of Tylosaurus, it's my favorite mosasaur.

[@travisstoll3582]

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.

[@velociraptor4you3291]

The “Dino Crisis” Therizinosaurus I can personally forgive because it was due to there not being a lot of available fossil evidence for the animal during that time. From having played it myself, they’re my _least_ favorite enemy from the game due to their toughness.

[@MrT_Rex]

FREDDYKRUGEROSAURUS

[@JaxanOBirdy]

They do look like they could get into my dreams. Well technically into my brain after slashing my head into two.

[@Collendune]

Even if the claws might be to fragile to be used at a weapon I still wouldn’t be surprised if it wouldn’t try to use them in that way.

[@wolfman2.055]

I think they still could use them as weapons but it just wasn’t their primary function

[@gemwolfz2860]

therizinosaurus is awesome. it's like a giant ground sloth if it was a bird. as a giant ground sloth enjoyer (way cooler than modern sloths) and a fan of birds and assorted other dinosaurs, they're a pretty perfect animal

[@quentinmarcellis]

My love for Dinosaurs brought me here. Your good looks kept me watching.

[@Naturalistenthusiast]

You should do the many interpretations of maiasaura, a dinosaur i have a real soft spot for, largely thanks to the go diego go episode, diego's great dinosaur rescue, where he helps a maiasaura named maia

[@GlennKurusu]

The depiction from “Speckles: The Tarbosaurus” could easily be used as an “antagonistic monster” terrorizing a small town. Although, many bad documentaries’ depictions could be used in the same manner.

[@thedragonthatlovesskittles7132]

9:25 unfortunely, it was just a birth defect for that specific theri, So the others ones can see us.

[@albatross4920]

I always loved dinosaurs, but learning about Therizinosaurus and how wacky it looked made me really fall in love with paleontology and animal science.

[@neonskye740]

Ngl, i wish the next video in the series would focus on a Cenozoic animal like Woolly Mammoth or Megalania

[@bulborb8756]

when it comes to Therizinosaurus, I do like how in most interpretations of this beast that it's a lot more territorial and aggressive, as I think that is fitting for this beast as with claws that big and long it probably was more ill-tempered and would want to keep to itself, but would fight if needed when threatened or backed into a corner

[@tokensdeez]

I've been looking at your background and it's given me an idea Think you could also cover certain dinosaurs in toy/figures?

[@AstralMystic]

Cool to see this dinosaur getting more exposure, both through mainstream media and KZbin. This somewhat lesser-known one is fast becoming far more popular. It's also fast becoming my new favorite dinosaur. They seemed just so... odd. So different from other similar creatures. And still enough of a mystery to be fully interesting.

[@teejaykaye4357]

Therizino! In the Isle we called them murder turkeys and featherdusters. Love those guys and you read my thoughts with the Ark design too, Theri is one of my favorites in Ark

[@eee8730]

Nice!

[@alligatortears5344]

i’d you’re doing trex you gotta also include that pokemon based off trex!! and keep the fossil pokemon in mind for the future !!

[@bkjeong4302]

The Theri in Tarbosaurus; the Mightiest Ever was actually shown eating plants in most of its appearances, but people assume the show made it a carnivore because of that one scene.

[@jessequillen4695]

Theri looks down to a galli, says "Meats back on the menu, boys!".

[@awesomearchivist1705]

This is my favorite dinosaur! My favorite modern animal is the giant anteater and therizinosaurus scratches that specific itch for me i especially like designs where they add giant anteater coloration(even though they have no relation whatsoever) to me its just like peanut butter and jelly it just works for me.

[@Blue_Fire-Chibi]

Cool my favorite of them all

[@kookaman6095]

The Wolverine of the Mesozoic

[@gorgimanolev401]

Can you do Acrocanthosaurus please 🙏 by the way love your content ❤

[@Thiccatron69]

i love this dino frfr i had a mint colored one in ark named her mayfair

[@Klinker0913]

Fossil fighters and fossil fighters champions are such great games, and introduced me to many species that i had no idea about before, and therezinosauris is one of em. It may not be terribly accurate to the real creature but its cry, colors, and animations made it super cool in my opinion.

[@better-shotgun1686]

A therizinosaurus without feathers just doesn’t look right.

[@Rexog90]

One Therizinosaurid design I like is Jurassic World Alive Erlikosaurus, the colors of both gens are beautiful

[@generalspitfire01]

There is one design, but you can find that if you want. It's the "Dinosaur World Mobile" game on roblox. They also have also have two other Therizinosaurids. But Therizinosaurus itself in the game is nice (for roblox standards), but it looks like a Canadian goose

[@joseflores1734]

Is really frustrating that the therizinosaurus claws was so fragile that never use for slashing, but I still like it. (I also want to talked about "The New Dinosaurs" from Dougal Dixon)

[@Enxyzo]

Again with primeval, therizinosaurus was cut but there is an image of its model if you dig for it.

[@baileyhuffman2035]

I would love to see all the different versions of dinosaurs meet eachother

[@E.thegreatest]

Yes

[@gabrieljvelez-perez9275]

There’s also the one from the hardly spoken documentary from the History Channel, “Prehistoric Monsters Revealed”. As well as the one from “Tyto Ecology”.

[@joseflores1734]

I can't wait for the interpretation of Tyrannosaurus rex! Also don't forget about Tina Rex from The amazing world of gumball (including Mr. Rex).

[@CaesarPlaYz]

Dinosaur Train is a classic

[@hcollins9941]

Here’s an interesting one, Wild Arms, a paranoid & nervous Nothronychus from The Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave

[@wanderer9994]

I think the fossil fighters design may be a reference to Freddy Krueger. The colors are very similar, although idk that they’d put that in a kids game

[@ketch0_041]

You should do a book review on All Yesterday's by C.M. Koseman. It's a speculative look into paleontology.

[@razorblademask]

I'm newish to the channel but I've watched a few of these videos. Can I ask why dinos from the animated series Primal are never mentioned? Is it because they're more based on real dinos but with changes that discount them? Primal had a great episode about a Therizinosaurus.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

I will be getting to it eventually. Unfortunately, none of the species I’ve covered have made an appearance in the show.

[@razorblademask]

@@prehistoricchannel128 gotcha! Hope you check it out one day. Episode 4 is the Theri episode and it's fantastic.

[@thedragonthatlovesskittles7132]

1:18 who gave the compy protein power

[@gregoryrook-green453]

My favourite herbivorous dinosaur

[@dudemcduder1628]

A bit of a note, the first Theri we see in Jurassic World Dominion is blind, yes, but the species in general can see. Bit of a misconception

[@prehistoricchannel128]

That would be my assumption.

[@yousef757-vx3gz]

therizinosaurus in jurrasic world was almost perfect

[@happylilfrog]

the baby prehistoric planet thereys are so cute! i want one as a pet😂

[@Allosaurus888]

[@elygennari4435]

I love the design of the therizinosaurus in the Jurassic franchise. Better than all of the other designs on the therizinosaurus.

[@kaijudirector5336]

Anyone notice how the Dinosaur King makes the Theri look like a butler?

[@johnepilot6]

Kinda a bonus therizinosaurid, but there is a Nothronychus in "When Dinosaurs Roamed America"

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Talked about it

[@johnepilot6]

​@prehistoricchannel128 yeah, I just rewatched it and realized I blinked and missed it the first time lol

[@gattycroc8073]

5:43 it's ironic you did not like the Speckles's the Tarbosaurus design because its version of Repenomamus is probably the worst I've seen for any prehistoric mammal. it was portrayed in the film as a stereotypical small Mesozoic mammal when in reality it was it was a wolverine sized predator of small dinosaurs.

[@Sw20t]

Look up Therizinosaur in the book (2001)Jurassic Park Institute: Dinosaurs Field Guide. The design look is so wild. Believe me you all will be shock

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Am so glad you did the therizinosaurus cause this dinosaur is one of my favorite and am so grateful Cause Dinosaur King therizinosaurus is easily my favorite deception of the animal.

[@danielmalinen6337]

The behavior of the Therizinosaurus in the Jurassic World Dominion started a long and debating debate about whether territorial animals are deadly and brainless killing machines that kill everything that moves as depicted in the movie or, as I still suggest, give several warning signals and try to scare the threat away first before attacking. However, that conversation did not lead anywhere and was left unfinished, but in my opinion, no territorial animal is a brainless killing machine or an instant killer and Jurassic Park Domonion did a lot of damage to people's understanding of what territorial means and how such animals behave.

[@moviemakr3938]

[@fuzzywyverns8561]

@@alexthetitanosauremperor6904​​⁠ username checks out, I can tell you’re a big fan of sauropods, and your bias is showing because sauropods aren’t the only dinosaurs who’ve yet to be covered by this channel. From within dinosaurs, he’s done six theropods, two ornithopods (iguanodon and parasaurolophus), one thyreophoran (ankylosaurus), and outside of dinosaurs, two synapsids (dimetrodon and inostrancevia/gorgonops). He hasn’t done a sauropodomorph yet, but he hasn’t looked at any marginocephalians (pachycephalosaurs and ceratopsians) either. Try to remember that this is a relatively new channel and doesn’t have the kind of following that say Ben G Thomas or Edge TV have, so there’s a much smaller group of people actually voting on the next animal. But the number is growing, so stay tuned and cross your fingers that a sauropod comes up soon, because there’s a good chance that it will.

[@CPPpotkustartti]

Personally i see The Isle version of Theri being more good looking, at least on balance of the creature. Feathery tail helps to balance front heavy looking creature out.
