The Fate of the Fighting Dinosaurs

[@kingcockroach.]

So excited to see this up online. Had a great time drawing some of these, and hope everyone enjoys this awsome video 😊

[@kingofwingo]

Did you create the thumbnail? Edit: Finishing the video, answered my own question.

[@kokroucz]

I hope you'll read or watch something about blue pigmentation in the nature, i think PBS on YT has some video about it. I also do paleo reconstruction though I mainly work with mammals and I am a strong advocate of observing the extant nature and apply its rules to extinct. In short - I would be very cautious with blue as a pigmentation it doesn't really exist. the majority of blue comes from the weird proportions of light. the blue of let's say butterfly is an optiulcal illusion, the surface of wing has such structure (somewhat like crytals)that reflects blue light, the pigmentation itself is rather dark. The structural coloration won't work in big animals as the surface is a rather delicate and it wouldn't mantain it's structure with animal that tackles the life with "head on" ;)

[@kingcockroach.]

@@kokroucz i understand what you are saying but blue is seen in both reptiles and living dinosaurs. Its something i studied for my dissertation into dinosaur pigmentation. Realistically any colour seen in skin and scales today is viable in dinosauria. And as for big animal these species were very small, and alreaddy put allot of effort and energy into display structures so bright skin colourations would be logical with such anatomy. In this reconstruction the colour is not bright and is simmilar to colours of collar lizards and bird skin in a number of animals. Ceratopsians also had very small rounded scales which would allow for a fair ammount of colouration especially on a smaller grouping such as protoceratopcians. I had done a few months of research prior to these for another project but i only started paleoart maybe 7 months ago so i still have much to work out 😊

[@Weirdkauz]

@@kokroucz very interesting, and the most impressive example is the Hyacinth Ara, but what tickles me is the fact that King Cockroach answered a common Kokroucz... or am I mistaken in that your name is pronounced cockroach? Very interesting creatures, those, by the way, so I see no shade in that, even if I'm wrong.

[@apexnext]

​@@kingcockroach. I loved the art in this video! Thank you for creating it and engaging in the comments. 😎👍 I didn't realize the connection that Paleontology and Artwork had until recently. But they go hand in hand so often. There is no other way to visualize fossils without creating art. After watching some Paleontology videos I wonder why we don't go wild with frills, feathers, colors, even shape when it comes to muscle and cartilage. All we have is fossils and science involving those fossils. These creatures really could be more wild and robust than we might ever be able to assume. Just in my lifetime we learned to accept how many had feathers. In school they were still _lizards_ I bet there were some real weirdos back then. 🤪

[@mikehawk4388]

Ahhh, I remember seeing this specimen in person when I was a kid. They displayed it next to a scale statue pointing out what was what, but MAN they didn't need it. It was so clear-cut that it was a pair of once-living ancient creatures. Idk how to describe it, but it felt sacred to be around. Like their ghosts might as well have been in the room.

One of my favorite aspects of paleontology is just how much it has in common with forensics. Your dramatic reconstruction of their final moments is proof of this. Thanks for making this video, as it is my favorite fossil as well.

[@apexnext]

Yeah another Paleo KZbinr said something that really stuck with me, I paraphrase, _You're seeing every animal in its moment of death_ I never really grasped that before. You can't see it's day to day life. How it moves or reacts. Only it's deathbed scene is preserved. It was *Paleo Analysis* if anyone is curious.

[@Mikau888]

God damn. This is not budget museum, this is full-priced, excellent production right here. The art and narration was awesome. Can't wait until you come back with a new video! This has become one of my favorite channels recently, so I guess I'll bide my time by rewatching all of your videos, haha. Cheers

[@linnylinlinlin]

The dinosaur-obsessed kid part of me thanks you for this video! I hope you have a good hiatus and take care 🦖

[@KrazyKaiser]

Excellent choice to have Mongolian Throat singing as the music for this one.

[@Paunguliaq]

I had never heard of or seen this fossil. Your well-made and researched video brings this alive and makes it unforgettable. I agree, This is the greatest fossil I have ever seen..

[@josiebianchi3481]

Imagine you're trekking through the Gobi desert when a storm kicks up out of nowhere and on the horizon you see two ghost dinosaurs locked in a millions-of-years-old battle.

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

You released this video on my birthday; I couldn't think of a better birthday present than a new video from The Budget Museum. Love your use of music, by the way. Not just on this video, but in others. I remember one of them used "Bethena" by Scott Joplin, and I was left thinking, _"Learning about prehistoric animals to ragtime...now _*_this_*_ is perfection."_

[@______Daniel]

I’m a huge fan, and all your videos are great, but this seemed like a new step for you, in a gradual but significant way. Proud of you mate, it’s fun to watch you grow.

[@somedudeonyoutube8079]

I was actually thinking about this the other day and I’m so glad you also think this is the best fossil ever.

[@RisingSunfish]

My main takeaway, for better or worse, is that this fossil would be FANTASTIC inspiration for a pair of Fossil Pokémon with a Zangoose/Seviper-esque rivalry. Like their final battle was immortalized so completely that it would settle into the very DNA of both species. Now that I got that out of the way, this was a thoroughly engrossing video and I’d love to see you elaborate on more famous fossils! Of course I should probably start on your back-catalogue first, huh. 😜

[@sthui2866]

We have bastiodon and -zolt.

[@apexnext]

Both Pokemon have fainted... *forever!*

[@Mussoi7000]

This one has always been a personal favorite of mine. I had this dinosaur sticker album when i was a kid and i remember thinking that the fighting dinosaurs stickers were so cool. That was also the only sticker album i ever completed i think.

[@doodlegirl1111]

[@TheEvilpossum]

I've always thought the likeliest scenario is that the protoceratops was already buried or half buried, and the raptor attacked while it was trying to get free. That would also strongly suggest V mongoliensis would have left the larger dinos alone under normal circumstances.

[@douggaudiosi14]

Could be plausible It would explain why that lil Guys massive balls weren't preserved attacking something almost twice his size

And now there's a new fossil about a mammal fighting a dinosaur. Repenomamus fighting a Psitacosaurus to be exact.

[@TheBestAround131]

"Don't forget that for a long time, dinosaurs were viewed as sluggish and lazy animals." Yeah, we humans tend to forget that animals we perceive as dumb and unevolved have lasted millions upon millions of years longer than we have and will continue to exist long after we've gone extinct. With great arrogance comes great stupidity! XD

For those who don't know there's an extreme well done tv show that shows this fight scene. very well done i think it was done in 2000's

[@chrisball3778]

Seeing as the adult Protoceratops would be an improbably large prey item for a lone Velociraptor, and Protoceratops are thought to have been social animals, I wonder if the Protoceratops might have died protecting its young, or the young of its herd? It's pure speculation, but it doesn't seem impossible, and it adds yet another layer of drama to the scenario.

[@ze3v]

17:30 i personally think the protoceritops (proto for short) , once covered by sand, had part of it sticking out, maybe? And some scavengers came to munch on the exposed legs, causing the seen damage. Not trying to pull the whole thing out, probably just having the animal pull apart partially?

Just a reminder that due to reasons involving the source Micheal Chrichton used for research carrying a theory that was quickly shot down by the scientific community, the "Velociraptors" in Jurassic Park were actually Deinonychus, and comparisons for accuracy should be done for that animal instead.

[@TheBestAround131]

Didn't Michael Crichton basically call them Velociraptors because he thought that name sounded cooler than Deinonychus? I could be wrong, and I hope I am, 'cause in my opinion, Deinonychus sounds way cooler than Velociraptor.

[@HobGungan]

@@TheBestAround131 You're about 1/4 right. The book Chrichton used for research for the novel hypothosized that Deinonychus didn't deserve it's own genera and should have been considered a species of Velociraptor. After the novel came out, that hypothesis was nixed, and it was *Spielberg* that opted not to change the name back for the movie adaptation because it "sounded cooler".

[@boreopithecus]

The movie ones are too big to be Deinonychus though. I just think of them as an unspecified dromeosaurid.

[@HobGungan]

@@boreopithecus They're only about a head taller than the largest known deinonycus, and they're not quite as long. They're exaggerated, but not that much on balance.

[@benmcreynolds8581]

(Loved this video!) I think the protoceratops limbs could have been a result of the impact of the collapsing dune, and actually act as further evidence of your idea of a quick engulfment.. Maybe the limbs were the easiest things to get effected by the sand dune and so they rested away from the main site. Then maybe over time (millions of years) the loose limbs easily were able to move and find their own resting places over time either in the sediment or washed away and repositioned over the course of time? Who knows? Could have been Disturbed by predators but once they were away from the main bodies of the 2 animals. The Fossil probably would have been a lot more disturbed and messed with if it had any predators find it and scavenge off of it..
