[@chadgorosaurus4898]

The fact they use the Dolichorhynchops instead of an obvious choice like the Elasmosaurus or mosasaursus is truly legendary

[@wyattgoralski818]

Agreed. Also, sorry, but "MosasaurSUS." LOL

Dolly for the win

[@chermal7311]

@@user-lq4ct6dr5m If I'm being honest with you. It should've been "MoSUSarous" but since this was made a year ago I'll kick out Blue instead.

Here's a BBC documentary series you should do: Wild New World/Prehistoric America as well as Monsters We Met/Land of Lost Monsters.

[@tyrannotherium7873]

Maybe I might do a video about them since I like since I like Cenozoic animals mostly the North American Pleistocene animals

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

Monsters We Met is the documentary that introduced me to the place I would never want to go : Pleistocene Australia

[@ghostoftheoldworld5104]

The music in this documentary is the best I've ever heard in any natural history program ever, even surpassing The Blue Planet and Planet Earth II

[@Adasaur250]

This one's an underrated gem for sure; the animation and designs and overall look of the piece is such a great vibe, and the music is great too, which I'm surprised wasn't mentioned from the filmmaking standpoint. Definitely one of my favorites, even if the game wasn't all that great and I never got to play it anyway.

[@iagonax2158]

He didn't menction it because these reviews don't focus on the filmmaking standpoint, just the accuracy if the animals. But yes, great doc and great vid.

[@NatteNek]

Lets go, i binged this whole series as i discovered it. Amazing channel.

[@mikecampbell7950]

This documentary and game for the wii are huge parts of my childhood its a shame that's it is majorly forgotten

[@TheBigRhino]

Amazing video, can't wait for the monsters resurrected video. I actually think you should make a video per episode, cause it has so many inaccuracies that if you wanna make it in 1 single video, it is gonna be an extremely long one.

[@QuokkaCore]

If all he does is talk about the Spinosaurus episode and nothing else like all other Paleo-tubers who reviewed Monsters Resurrected have done I will be very disappointed.

[@ZzbulletheadzZ]

I am completely fine, actually prefer longer videos

[@roboticminer8843]

Man, I remember watching this as a kid and absolutely loving it. And I’m so glad that it (mostly) holds up scientifically, while still being entertaining.

[@tyrannotherium7873]

The tyolosaurs Design was freaking awesome I remember back in the day they used to have some shirts of this animal on National Geographic online unfortunately I didn’t get the shirt but I would like to and I had another Tyolsaur At the time

[@toastgalaxy776]

you could probably find one on ebay or something like that

[@tyrannotherium7873]

Unfortunately I tried

[@HopefulBlue]

During elementary, I remember going on a school field trip to the Science Spectrum to watch this. I need to rewatch

[@DryptosaurusDavid]

8:24 There were Two Different Species of Tusoteuthis: T. Longa and T. Cobbani. T. cobbani was synonimized with Enchoteuthis.

[@DzhokharDudayev-kr9mi]

My childhood game. I remember playing it almost every day. I recently replayed it again. Maybe it has not the best gameplay, but the soundtrack is truly a masterpiece, brings me back.

[@adamthespinygiant]

Part 2 of me asking if you’re going to review and rank: - Walking with Cavemen - Prehistoric Predators - Animal Armageddon

[@rahnal21]

I think he skipped Walking with Cavemen because he wasn’t interested (I don’t blame him)

[@Fauler1917]

He said that walking with cavemen is not dinosaur/prehistoric animal related so I don't think he'll review it

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

Another thing I believe the movie got right(or close to) was only having the gorgosaurus hissing, which is currently considered as the more accurate way of communication

[@maxrichards3881]

I also love how to Gorgosaurus has inward facing palms, and it’s body is very fleshy. Only the head is a bit shrink wrapped.

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

@@maxrichards3881 yeah, all around that movie was pretty accurate

[@PaleoTufts]

I liked the sound track sound in the credits of this film. Different stories Different lives. Not only was it a good song for this documentary but it’s also a nice song about paleontology in general.

[@collinsobrian4982]

I actually enjoyed the game on the Wii. Sure it was weird and sometimes frustrating enough to want to break a controller from the uncooperative controls and broken AI, and it was extremely short, but it was unique. There's far too few open world or pseudo open world games where you play as sea creatures. Only other ones I can think of are Jaws Unleashed, some obscure Ecco the dolphin game I can't seem to find evidence of existing anymore and Maneater. Really wish there were more games like those. Ideally a proper survival experience like The Isle or Path of Titans or Beasts of Bermuda, but solely focusing on aquatic life.

[@samsonarshaw2712]

as soon as i saw this get an A the theme song from lion king started playing in my head.

[@AidanMartin]

2007 is pretty much considered to be the last good year for paleo documentaries.Thanks to Sea Monsters, that is rightfully so.

[@maxrichards3881]

2011. Ring any bells?

[@vaggos2003]

Yep. That little documentary is a classic on its own right and it's nice seeing take the recognition it deserves. Sooooo, what do we have for next time? Oh no. Oh no! OH NOOOOOO!!!

[@russman3787]

I remember really liking this show when I was a kid so I'm glad it did so well.

[@tyrannotherium7873]

Best Marine reptile documentary

[@neithancaban109]

Nature doc for aquatic creatures? Looks like this is gon be fun

[@mitchellskene8176]

When you do get around to Resurrected/Mega Beasts, hopefully you talk about the Megalania episode, as I think it's their best and most accurate episode, despite its flaws.

[@maxrichards3881]

It’s only flaws are either simply outdated details that they couldn’t know about, or it’s the constant fighting that the whole series is called out for.

[@azhdarchidae66]

its accurate, except the flaws. sorry, had to make that comment

[@user-vt8kz1ll7b]

Oh the nostalgia. : )

[@QuokkaCore]

Great review bro, have you considered reviewing Dinosaur Britain? It’s actually really entertaining and informative and there’s no “Awesome broness.”

I'm kinda late but I love this series sm! I've binged your entire channel since finding this! You're amazing and your voice, is just a *chefs kiss*! Thank you for this amazing dino+ content, I love it!

Loved the punisher clip at the end it was hilarious, also I’ll probably have to see this now it looks pretty good and I’m really running out of dino docs.

[@m4wie274]

Ohman i love this documentary so much! I also adored the games on wii and ds, i remember just playing to roam around as a doli haha! thankyou for this neat review and for bringing back all those good memories!

[@LandBeforeTime75]

Another Amazing Dinosaur Documentary Accuracy Tier List ranking video and this time on Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure. I do agree that most of the prehistoric marine reptiles are pretty accurate at the time and for the dinosaurs in the other hand, not so much but still a pretty cool documentary and I appreciate it giving it A which is very impressive in my opinion. Great video Red Raptor and keep it up with the Scientific dinosaur experience.

[@CaptainDumbass]

After many years this one's still my favourite doc. Absolutely slaps. No mosasaur bias at all...

I loved watching this documentary ever since I was a kid, from then on I would rather watch animals doing their own thing than a human interacting with them. 07:55 Also, this picture cracks me up every time I see it.

[@marinanguish9928]

1:22 totally understandable, sorry if I was pestering you with a lot of questions in the comments about Mammals vs Dinos. If you ever can get ahold of it great, but I totally understand if not. If you don't mind one more question, I am curious whether or not Prehistoric Predators (2007) is on your radar at all? I believe it served as something of an inspiration for Monsters Resurrected, though my understanding is that it is more accurate (low bar, I know). In any case: keep up the good work!

[@randomkidstv6720]

Dang this looks great! I’ve heard of this doc before but now I think I want to watch this!

I read somewhere that cretoxyrhina was driven to extinction by the rise of large marine reptiles like mosasaurs. Is this true? I always thought cretoxyrhina lived alongside Tylosaurus.

I have a suggestion, Prehistoric Predators, anyone else let me know if you've heard of this one!

Okay so, I know this is not a documentary, BUT, I was recently watching the Disney Dinosaur movie from the 2000 and was surprised to see some VERY accurate stuff for the time. Of course a lot is still innacurate(Iguanodons always quadrupedal), but I have really forgotten how much they got right in the movie, and, I think would'be great to see an accuraccy review from you. Maybe do it as something special? I dunno, so it doesn't conflict with the channel, and if only if many people like it. I just think it'ld be great to hear what you have to say about the movie and it's accuracies and inacurracies

[@redraptorwrites6778]

That's a great idea! I'll save that for a special occasion.
