@@kevinzhu6417 RIGHT?! my Grandad used to love watching the Discovery channel when he was alive. And with good reason as the programmes mainly consisted of original documentaries examining a wide range of subjects. All it is now is the same moronic pseudo-reality, 45 minute advertisement, maskerading as 'entertainment' at best. I think that it says a lot about how 'they' are endeavouring to steer our thinking. Or rather, ensure that we do much less of it.

Walking with dinosaurs really needs a new version, with updated dinosaur reconstructions and better visual effects (not that the originals were bad). There’s only a few paleodocumentaries that actually depict dinosaurs as real living animals, instead of violent roaring monsters

One thing I particularly like about Walking With is that the confrontations actually look like animal confrontations, i.e. long threat displays, sudden violence then more display. A lot of more recent documentaries (on Curiosity Stream for example) make it look like a video game deathmatch. That's a great source of clips for TierZoo but a ridiculous representation of animal behaviour.

Part of why this series is so good, in my opinion, is that it was willing to speculate with unconventional ideas, which is something not enough paleo documentaries do these days.
@hedgehog3180
@hedgehog3180 5 жыл бұрын
I think the speculation in areas where it's justified is important, especially for bringing the animals to life but also to help inspire people. People speculating about possible behaviours of prehistoric animals are our best way of trying to approach what they might have been like and once someone comes up with an idea we can try to test it. It's also a great way to engage people in science since there's a lot of room for speculation and it's quite fun to do so, especially when you have fairly good knowledge about the animal to go on.

I love your review of this timeless series! Personally I did a large paper about the potential predatory behaviors of Allosaurus in college a few months back, and I loved how you brought in the same modern research! My favorite idea is the one I call "Spontaneous hunting parties". Since Allosaurus were so theoretically plentiful during the Jurassic, it's possible that multiple Allosaurus would target a single sauropod during their hunts, and they would "accidentally" team up. Since there's some evidence of intraspecific competition, they could have fought each other for the best meat on the body once the kill was made. Thanks for the cool video!

Also a fun fact to point out about WWD is that at the time it was thought that grasses evolved after dinosaurs were long gone, so they put a lot of effort and resources into searching for locations with no grass to film at. Later it was discovered that grasses were already common in the dinosaur era so they wasted a lot of effort for nothing.

Getting the weight of big things right in film is really difficult so I always appreciate it when it's done.

A reason Diplodocus had extremely long necks probably was because they needed it for balance as well. I personally think the depiction in the series was basically accurate but it could probably raise its neck a little bit higher, like you said.

absolutely love these since this was probably the single piece of media I watched most as a kid and still holds the number one spot of dinosaur documentary till this day for me. even with the utahraptors being naked chicken. I'd also love it if you talked a little bit about the sounds the dinosaurs made like the rumbling and bellowing of the diplodocus and the roaring of the allosaurs and if that's in any way accurate. Keep it up!

I love this series so much. This documentary helped strengthen my love for prehistoric life in general and I love it even more for it. The one thing I do have a question about is the diplodocus having a whip like tail. While the part of it being whip like is very likely true, I don’t believe that it would whip around like it does in the special.

Loved these reviews. Recently re-discovered Walking with Dinosaurs after forgetting about it for a decade, and it's been such a nostalgia trip. I think my favorite part of your review series so far is when you first present something that wasn't as cool as they made it out to be, only to point out there were even cooler dinosaurs out there. At first I thought I'd just get my heart broken by all the incorrect facts, but this just makes me more excited and I truly respect the creators of Walking with Dinosaurs for their work. One thing I loved about this episode was watching the young stage of a gigantic dinosaur. I've never really put much thought into the growth process of a Dinosaur - most of the time you just see eggs, maybe a hatchling and then scary adults. You don't really dive deep into how the growth process actually works, what behaviors the young would show, where they'd feed and what dangers they'd meet.
