@@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.

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]

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.

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.

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!

I love how dedicated you are to this. It's nice and enjoyable for me to find channels like this that gush over dinosaurs and the many discoveries we've made over the many years we've known of their existence. It's also fun to reminisce about this classic series. I really would love to see a remake of this old classic, with better CGI and more attention to detail, such as the 'fleshing out' of the faces, and designing the front and rear feet of the sauropods more accurately as you noted in your video. The new evidence presented for Stegosaurus was news to me, at least regarding the length of the neck and tail and the fact the body was a bit shorter than previously thought. The model for Allosaurus (SP?) always bugged me, though. That was something I had noticed right off the bat. They'd modeled the horny protrusions right over the eyes and the shape of the skull didn't seem right. The bottom jaw was too wide, too. The skulls I've always seen in museums taper down A LOT near the end of the snout. I'm not sure if I remember your take on Liopleurodon but I'm very curious. I think he was my favorite animal featured in the series, other than the sauropods. Great vid, and excited for the next!

Especially the wide shots of the Sauropod herd are just so beautiful and make me imagine how breathtaking it would have been to see these magnificent creatures in the flesh

As a result, the special that takes place after it, "Battle at Big Rock" (which released on KZbin September 2019), shows off an adult Allo that's a lot more paleontologically accurate, even finally fixing the cronated wrists that all the Ingen dinosaurs had.

Could you do dinosaur revolution when you finish this series?

[@lekhaclam87]

I think Beasts, Monsters and other spin-offs should be done first. You know, the whole collection.

lekhaclam87 I agree, it’s just that I’m American and these shows where made before I was born. Dinosaur revolution is what I grew up with.

I love that you didn't neglect to mention the stegasaurus' thagomizers...made the video for me...😂😂😂

After reviewing Walking With Dinosaurs, you should review Dinosaur Planet next! It's the first dinosaur documentary I've seen.

For me it’s the movement of the dinosaurs that I’ve always loved and found the most accurate. For example: compare the swinging of stegosaurus’s tail in this episode and the BBC show Planet Dinosaur. It’s so much slower here with weight to the swing.

Will you be doing Walking with Beasts/Monsters and the Nigel Marvin specials?

"Thagomizer" still makes me chuckle! 😊

I was 13 when this series aired on tv, I have been fascinated with dinosaurs since I was 5 and I loved this series and I still do, despite parts of it being inaccurate, for when it was created it was still good. Also, I really hope you do more of these, one for each episode as I've really enjoyed these two parts.
