Clash of the Dinosaurs (2009) Accuracy Review | Dino Documentaries RANKED #17

After suffering through mountains of repetitive footage, I present my review of Clash of the Dinosaurs, a docu-series that focuses on the combat between predators and prey in the Cretaceous. Will it be more accurate than it is entertaining? I hope so.

The last Day of the Dinosaurs, Planet Dinosaur, and Dinosaur Revolution

Make sure to check out Dinosaur Revolution. It's a docuseries with the premise of dispelling inaccurate portrayals of dinosaurs and showing a more accurate depiction. That means feathered, winged raptors. No broken wrists, no disregarding paleontologists, and even focusing on some obscure dinos. Like Rahonavis, Shunosaurus, Glacialisaurus hammeri, and Guanlong.

I'm honestly so upset, it's so hard to come across anything dinosaur related. I went to the public library of my small city, and there was particularly nothing in there about dinosaurs that weren't kids books. KZbin is basically my only source of dino information that won't shake down my already drained wallet

[@ferociousrazordino3581]

Agree, they are severely underappreciated

[@danielgaming2223]

Agreed. Plus, it's so hard to find things that actually try to get dinosaurs right, and portray them as close to reality as possible. Not to mention some really awful animation styles, I keep coming across one documentary on KZbin who's animation is so awful I can't get through the first 5 minutes of it without laughing. It's really awful. Someone just needs to make a website or something that has good documentaries and movies about dinosaurs. If it was me I'd offer a fact and fiction section, in the facts I'd put the documentaries with the most and best info there, with maybe some trivia at the bottom of the page explaining where our scientific understanding has evolved. In fiction you'd have the "documentaries" like Jurassic Fight Club, and you'd have movies like all of the Land Before Time series and the Jurassic Park series. I would even look into offering dinosaur-related books, but idk how that'd work. But that's just an idea.

You talking about t-rex being slow gave me a childhood flashback. I'm a 90's kid from Appalachia who was obsessed with dino's and one thing I did to get out of the house was to go ride atv's. One thing I did was pretend a t rex was chasing me and I had to maintain a speed of 20 mph to outrun the rex on all my old trails

Every time I hear people say T-Rex was venomous or had a toxic bite, I always say “So Triceratops had toxic horns” because that’s the logic.

I think this holds a nice place in my heart and nostalgia considering how much information seems to hold up until today outside of the sauropod hip brain situation and the paras having sonic weapons. Though that would be cool for Monster Hunter... then again I think normal Monster roars does this alright and I feel like for hunters this would be deafening and make one flinch...

14:46 another example is Stephen Hillenburg’s response to a spin-off. He said he didn’t see them working, that doesn’t mean he never wanted any. It gets more annoying when you realise that he worked on Kamp Koral.

[@acrazygamer1318]

The real Matt Wedel interview for the fake-cumentary: *"Ok one of the curious things about saurapods is that they did have a swelling in the spinal chord in the neighbourhood of their pelvis. And for a while it was thought that may be this was sort of like a second brain to help control the back half of the body. There are a couple of misconceptions there. One is that most animals control large part of their body with their spinal chord. If you’re going through day to day operations like just walking down the street and your minds on something else your brain isn’t even involved in very much controlling your body. A lot of that is a central pattern generator that’s controlled by your spinal chord. So its not just dinosaurs that are controlling their body with their spinal chord its all animals. Now the other thing about this swelling at the base of the tail is we find the same thing in birds and its called the glycogen body. It’s a big swelling in the spinal chord that has glycogen which is this very energy rich compound that animals use to store energy. Problem is we don’t even know what birds are doing with their glycogen bodies. The function is mysterious - we don’t know if the glycogen is supporting their nervous system - if its there to be mobilised help drive their hind limbs or the back half of their body and until we find out what birds are doing with theirs we have very little hope of knowing what dinosaurs were doing with their glycogen bodies."* But... of course, Dangerous Ltd butchered it. And for what reason? To "accommodate the needs of all sections of the audience (including children) and while it must educate, it must simultaneously hold everybody’s attention". They genuinely thought we were stupid.

[@JerkyD]

I'm sorry to bother you about this, as I mostly like your dino doc reviews, including this one. However, when it comes to my favorite dino, I've recently noticed an over-reliance on Roach/Brinkman 2007 & Frederickson et al. 2020, which are very flawed for reasons I discuss elsewhere (See "SD: Top 4 most annoyingly-popular dino hypotheses" & "SD: Most annoyingly-popular dino hypotheses addend"). As for what we currently know about Deinonychus, Naish summed it up best when he said the following in "Dinopedia" (I added the brackets for more info): "Ostrom’s view that Deinonychus was a pack-hunter has been the source of considerable debate. Some experts have outright stated that group hunting wasn’t likely for these animals (it’s more of a mammalian habit than a reptilian one, so the argument goes), nor is it well supported by geological data, since the individuals Ostrom regarded as members of a social group more likely came together by accident (they were washed together by floodwater, say). But none of this appears exactly right; social behavior is reasonably well supported in these animals and can’t be easily explained away[...E.g. See Maxwell & Ostrom 1995...]Deinonychus isn’t the only dromaeosaurid where several individuals have been discovered in association[...E.g. See Li et al. 2007...]and the diversity of group-hunting strategies present in modern lizards and birds shows that cooperation and group living are far from “mammal-only” behaviors[...E.g. See Ellis et al. 1993...]It’s plausible that Deinonychus sometimes hunted alone, but it’s also likely that individuals stalked and foraged in bands, cooperated in the flushing and pursuing of prey like small ornithischians, and slept and nested in groups."

[@idiot573]

In Last Day Of The Dinosaurs, the Deinonychus is instead a Saurornithoides, Parasaurolophus is instead a Charonosaurus and Sauroposeidon is instead an Alamosaurus CAN'T THEY MAKE A DIFFERENT DESIGN FOR THE THREE DINOSAURS!?

Parasaurolophus walkeri has an estimated weight of over 7 metric tonnes for the largest known individual, making twice as large as the average Daspletosaurus. A mere 2.5t would make it even smaller than its predators, and at that point it definitely would be considered defenseless in comparison to Gorgo and Daspleto, apart from Hadrosaur's specialty in agility and stamina, which were the 2 things keeping the smaller ones from getting outcompeted by their predators.

On adult Triceratops(we have evidence of those in supposed young Torosaurus), the epoccipital osteoderms/spikes(however you wish to refer to them) were(most likely, almost logically) covered in keratin. The bone core may have been reabsorbed by the parietal and occipital bones, but the keratin may have still been there. I know that the skeleton supposedly showing an adult Triceratops prorsus(nasal horn shape) shows the skull of an adolescent with even the snout being too short and the frill too round. The bone did not exist anymore, but the keratin would have still been there, it really makes me question the actual appearance of Pachycephalosaurids as adults in life considering my main statement. Yes, wearing the keratin off is possible, but that is up to each individual Triceratops and the lifestyle they have

[@alexanderross8462]

12:10 on the quetzalcoatlus problem of of spotting urination trails with Ultraviolet vision, this actually was most likely based on the fact that kestrels can see urination trails because of ultraviolet light reflecting urine. Still I think it's a bit too much to say Quetzalcoatlus could spot urination trails like kestrels considering that kestrels hover while hunting and that pterosaurs diverged long before birds evolved.

i dont think this should have been called a documentairy. but in that way its really tough making a dino docu because even tho we know a good a lot compared to 50 years ago. we still know so little. even new most accurate documentairy's could be pretty stupid in a decade. but thats whats so fun about studying natural history. we will probably never learn everything before our own extinction.

6:24 Actually A or B is the more likely model not D. iirc it was either Naish or Witton, but one of them made a post on why the idea that "wing membranes didn't attach to the ankle because they had their legs tucked under their bodies" didn't hold up.

I don't know why. But that t rex model is so uncanny that it scares me.

I'm very skeptical about this new suggestion of Quetzalcoatlus having tucked its feet under its body like a bird. For once, pterosaur legs weren't built like those of birds, they were plantigrade walkers and even if you count long legged birds like flamingos and storks, they fly with their legs outstretched behind their body. I'm also skeptical about the membrane attaching to the body and excluding the legs, since all known pterosaur fossils that preserve the membrane, show that it was connected at least to the knee. And there are no Quetzalcoatlus fossils preserving the membrane in order to state that for sure. Pterosaur expert Mark Witton has also shared his skepticism about this in his blog.

Q flys like an albatross hunts on ground glides for long distance and flys when escaping predators
