Prehistoric Planet [2022 - 2023] - Hatzegopteryx Screen Time

[@mitchtange8029]

I love that we go from arguably the most majestic scene from season 1 to natures earliest example of sounding the air raid sirens

[@IndriidaeNT]

Hatzegopteryx played a small role in the first season of Prehistoric Planet from May 2022 only appearing in the end of the last episode, Forests showing them spreading out their wings and flying to exercise on some coastlines where a herds of a type of titanosaur, Telmatosaurus are migrating to their breeding grounds (Something similar would happen in the Prehistoric Planet 2 released on May 2023 episode, “Badlands” showing some Isisaurus migrating to their own breeding grounds to lay their eyes that will hatch into sauropodlets that are left to fend for themselves after they hatch and avoid being eaten by Rajasaurus a type of theropod but show some Isisaurus breeding and laying their eggs on screen which is similar to how modern-day sea turtles breed and the same goes for all other types of sauropods including other Titanosaurs, Diplodocus and Barosaurus.) and flying across the Atlantic Ocean ending the first season of Prehistoric Planet on a beautiful high note before the Uncovered Carntosaurus video link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrIdK14eLF9rdk which is arguably a great video and the same goes for all the other Prehistoric Planet Uncovered videos. Hatzegopteryx played a much larger role in the second season of Prehistoric Planet released on May 2023 and in the first episode, “Islands” some Hatzegopteryx were shown on the islands in a sea in the Late Cretaceous in what would later become Europe where Hypselosaurus also lives and some smaller sauropods that larger pterosaurs like Hatzopteryx preyed on as seen in the Planet Dinosaur (2011) episode, “The Great Survivors” and some Hatzgeopteryx hunted and ate some Tethyshadros hadrosaurs and one Hatzgeopteryx brought a dead Tethyshadros he hunted to an island to impress a female and perform an attracting a mate ritual that modern-day birds of paradise also do shortly before the episode switches to the scene with Majnuosaurus, Simosuchus and Adalatherium in Madagascar in the Late Cretaceous exploring their natural history, paleontology and lifestyles. That’s why the second season of Prehistoric Planet (2022-2023) is much better than the first season, it gives even more information about non-avian dinosaurs (theropods, sauropods and ornithischians), pterosaurs, marine reptiles, sharks and ammonites and early mammals from the Late Cretaceous the habitats around the world they live in and their paleontology and natural history and has even better Uncovered videos.

[@ozanyoung2909]

The courtship scene is easily one of the most standout scenes in all of Prehistoric Planet, and an excellent example of why I love the show so much. Even after introducing the Hatzegopteryx to the mainstream as this giant, dangerous, apex predator that is to be feared, they still took the time and effort to also present it as capable of being majestic, tender, and endearing, something all animals deserve to be seen as. Genuinely one of the most beautiful animals to have ever lived.

[@taylordakoda67]

Hatzegopteryx wasn't in the first episode of season 1

[@bkjeong4302]

Season 1 Hatzegopteryx was really shown as being nothing more than a generic giant azhdarchid. Season 2, on the other hand, really encapsulates its nature as a standout among azhdarchids in having become the apex predator of Europe.

[@jasondavis2381]

Out of all the pterosaur species featured in this documentary, Hatzegopteryx is the one that has the most screen time.

[@bkjeong4302]

Well, it’s probably the most interesting of the lot for various reasons (giant size, specializations for hunting larger prey, apex predator status due to its evolutionary and paleobiogeographical history, etc).

[@IndriidaeNT]

4:30 I didn’t know that Azhdarchid pterosaurs from the Late Cretaceous had small tails I thought that all pterosaurs from the Late Cretaceous including Azhdarchid pterosaurs had their tails slowly evolved out as it made them easier to fly and tails were more abundant with pterosaurs from the Late Jurassic and Late Triassic like Rhamphorynchus and Pterodactylus. Maybe I was wrong? Maybe some pterosaurs including Azhdarchid pterosaurs from the Late Cretaceous have tails that are leftover from evolution like humans’ leftover tail bones and the small arms of theropods like Tyrannosaurus, Carntosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Yutyrannus and Giganotosaurus even though they still use them for mating rituals and other useful purposes? I am learning something new about non-avian dinosaurs (theropods, sauropods and ornithischians), pterosaurs and paleontology and natural history every day.

[@ozanyoung2909]

@@IndriidaeNT Azhdarchid tails are certainly less pronounced than earlier Rhamphorynchoids and Wukongopterids, but they still have them. Quetzalcoatlus certainly had a small, nubby tail on it's skeleton. I'm unsure if we have the tail vertebrae for Hatzegopteryx, but it's not an unreasonable inference to suggest that they had them too. It's always an absolute treat to learn something new about something you love.

[@Latenivenatrix_Mcmasterae]

It’s genuinely so impressive how spectacular life on this planet looked over millions of years, we’re used to how prehistoric life looked because we see them a lot in media but if you showed someone from the medieval era a hatzegopteryx they’d think you’re crazy. These creatures were magnificent and it’s no wonder they captured our imagination

The ending of season one and the Hatzegopteryx courtship dance always reminds me that it doesn't always matter which prehistoric animal is bigger, or if they could beat another animal. They're so much more than that, majestic animals capture the imagination, and with each being awe-inspiring in their own right. I love this documentary, it always has such an upbeat atmosphere in where everything can only get better - a little ironic considering what happens at the end, but these animals were at their prime when it happened. The new discoveries, constant input of knowledge, the music, all of it conveys hope for so much more to be in store.

[@BugsandBiology]

Bulkier build, and bones that were spongy as opposed to completely hollow I presume.

[@FrostFall0261]

Built for legitimate hunting and was an apex predator. Quetz had to be more lightweight because they contended with other carnivores like Tyrannosaurus rex, and would get eaten a bit more if they were heavier (and therefore slower) like hatz

[@own4801]

Hatzegoptryx is built like a goose. Quetzalcoatlus is built like a vulture. Vulture has longer wingspan, but goose can still fly despite being heavier and having a shorter wingspan than vulture.
