Rajasaurus hunting baby Isisaurus - [Prehistoric Planet] season 2

The young Isisaurus are attacked by Rayasaurus, who entered the volcanic area after when the poisonous gases were blown away by the wind.
from Prehistoric Planet season 2 episode 2

They had absolutely no business making those little guys sound that cute

[@LudosErgoSum]

I love how they portray the hunters as opportunistic that conserve their energy once they fail. The tired trope of the relentless hunter needs to go away together with all the "monster" behavior that has cartoonished the portrayal of theropods for far too long (I blame Alien and JP for this).

[@thelonewolf6425]

I fully agree.

[@alezot6141]

The super-persistent predator trope LONG predates Aliens and Jurassic Park. See any random dinosaur/monster from the mid XX century, and you'll get the idea

[@apnosaurus]

JW is far more guilty of the persistent berserk animals than JP

[@DgardsGaming]

Agreed

[@kellywalker1664]

That's what I didn't like about the smilodon attack scene in Primal. They were getting wasted by Spear's family with only marginal success to show for it. Dire circumstances can drive up morale, but with most animals there is no Sunken Cost fallacy because there are too many other factors rubbing up against them.

The Rajasaurus is the best animated dinosaur I've ever seen and I've seen a lot - it's like an animated Joanna Kobierska composition.

The confrontation at 2:32 is probably one of the most scarily realistic depictions of theropods in history.

[@Saberrex1]

Given that Rajasaurus is shown here, my guess based on the latest evidence suggests the series takes place more than 400,000 years before the asteroid impact, as the volcanoes in the region are suggested to have driven all of India's dinosaurs extinct 350,000 years before the extinction event.

We can see the striking similarities with modern day sea turtles and baby crocodiles. Nature has cooked up the same scenarios repeatedly. It’s actually not all that difficult to imagine. .. Also, *see my name,* It's about time we got a good portrayal of dinosaurs of this side of the world.

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

Sea turtles and crocodiles also already existed at that time.

[@firegator6853]

we also saw similar thing in the first episode of the first seasons with the hatchling alcione being chased by barbaridactylus and in the second season with the baby pterosaurs being hunted by crocodiles

this happen to most animals that lay lots of eggs. and there's evidence of sauropods growth and mortality rates.

[@officerbanana9096]

interesting that the babies are so quiet even as they are snatched up.

[@sattm8230]

Like most shows on TV, they gloss over the 'harsher' realities of the brutality of nature.

[@crazyhairsinger]

​@@sattm8230 I mean you wanted them to show some sorta of gorefest or sum? Also the babies are gulped down so quick they can't even scream. And often, animals in a state of shock don't scream. There's a video showing an impala being eaten alive by a lioness, and yet the animal is almost fully quiet. Animals IRL don't scream all that much.

[@haruokashioka]

⁠@@adamred5449Please learn what speculation is. Most of this is based off of literally fossil evidence. It’s not saying with 100% certainty just like a crime scene, but it’s not to say we know nothing like you claim.

[@paleopal]

@@haruokashioka Yes, I'd say educated speculation. Most of these behaviors cannot be absolutely proven, but they are all based on something real.

[@firegator6853]

@@adamred5449 well of course speculation is needed but it is based on actual things for example the nests of sauropods found and showing that they were laid in such habitat based on the surrounding rock and the nesting patterns of sauropods that sometimes resemble turtle nests show that some species didnt care for their young so what we see in this video is a combination of those you cant be too much off from reality in this case something similar at least was happening

@@user-xi2dp3fi8k No offense, but your words show very little education on the subject of dinosaurs and I suggest doing more research. 1. Rajasaurus is not a tyrannosaur. It is a cousin of Carnotaurus and Majungasaurus, and part of the abelisaur family. 2. Tarbosaurus is not found in Korea, but in Mongolia. It is Asia's equivalent to Tyrannosaurus, but not a species of Tyrannosaurus (though it is its closest relative) 3. Gorgosaurus is not found in Europe. It was found in North America, in Canada and the USA.

[@akashinigami9284]

could someone tell me what exactly is the use of those tiny arms? I mean, T-Rex has small arms too, but at least they can bend the right way to the front, but Rajasaurus here have arms that only extend backwards.

[@paleopal]

Mating displays possibly.

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

Abelisaur ( Including Rajasarus, Carnosaurus ) have extremely short arms and long legs to run their prey down We still don’t have concrete answer about what the hands are used for

[@HogBurger]

The arms were either vestigial (an old evolutionary trait that no longer had any good usage) or maybe it could’ve been used in mating displays (as shown in the carnotaurus scene)
