Fun fact: the Velociraptors in Jurassic park were Deinonychus.

@juliancaraveo5700 Жыл бұрын

Yup and it made no sense why they wanted to add the Deinonychus to Jurassic World Dominion. When it has literally been in the franchise under the name Velociraptor.

Yep Deinonychus existed for some reason Jurassic Park named them raptors. Perhaps they did form in packs like in the movies but it was misnamed in the movies.

@nunka34ify 2 жыл бұрын

They really should have just called the raptors “Deinonychus” in the Jurassic Park movies, because that’s what their designs were based off of. They only decided to call the velociraptors(which were in fact way smaller than in the films) to cater to people’s stupidity for not being able to pronounce it properly

They were actually based on Utahraptors I’m pretty sure. I know everyone says deinonychus but I think they ended up with Utahs because even Deino ended up being too small for what they wanted

Wow the idea of them climbing and hanging onto trees really is cool, it could even make them ambush predators! It also reminds me of primate behavior a bit!

It would be cool if their sickle shaped claws were used both during hunting and climbing.

Like you mentioned, what if juvenile / immature features of Deinonychus like theropods led to evolutionary advantages? If immature Deinonychus could fly or glide, maybe these features were selected for leading to smaller, more bird-like descendants? Did I just solve Dino to bird evolution?

Birds had already become an established group in the theropod order of dinosaurs in the late Jurassic to early cretaceous. Birds are literally just a group of theropod dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction. But they were already their own group of theropod dinosaur during the late cretaceous

@swish450 Жыл бұрын

Nah they couldn't glide or fly, but they could climb small trees, as their claws were more for piercing then slashing.

There are animatronic lifelike, lifesize models of a Deinonychus pair at the London Natural History Museum, very good to see, amongst all the dinosaur skeletons and other exhibits. I believe they also have an animatronic T Rex, but that exhibit was under maintenance while I was there recently.

the question most people ask is and study is what killed the dinosaurs . the question i always wondered is what prevented dinosaurs from being "retro" evolved. as some modern animal species (particularly certain bird species) have been known to retroactively evolve several times over. (meaning after going extinct a close realative of thiers re-evolves into that species) . So yeah that's a question that plauges my mind. waht factor prevented the dinosuars from re-emerging after they went extinct (excluding the terror birds , which kinda were the dinos reborn but no wear near as large as some of the large dinos)

Deinonychus. They actually look menacing compared to a Turkey sized Velociraptor. But both are very cool animals to be honest

@user-rc4vo1th9j 8 ай бұрын

It seems obvious to me that the sickle shaped claw on the foot of Deinonychus is used when it jumps on a large animal like tenontosaurus so it can remain "standing" on the animal while it attacks it with its teeth and "hangs on" with its hands and arms; which also have claws. They said it looks like it would be able to climb a tree, how about a tenontosaurus.

To be honest, I don't think the argument that crocodiles and birds don't pack hunt and thus Deinonychus didn't is valid. Birds are flying animals and don't occupy terrestrial predatory niches, and crocodiles are ectothermic semi-aquatic ambush predators. The reality is that non-avian dinosaurs hold niches more similar to modern mammals than to their closest living relatives, and thus have evolutionary pressures more akin to them. This doesn't mean that Deinonychus didn't hunt smaller prey though. Personally, I believe they did both, hunting whatever they can hunt. Individually or in groups. This also doesn't mean that ALL dromeosaurs pack-hunt. Reality is that not even all Mammalian carnivores pack-hunt. I think that some dromeosaurs pack-hunt while others are more solitary.

Why did dinosaurs, pterosaurs and sea reptiles go extinct but smaller less advanced creatures like fish, amphibians and reptiles survive the great extinction event?

@Woopor Жыл бұрын

I think it’s because there wasn’t enough oxygen for those big creatures after the world went up in flames.

@ratreptile Жыл бұрын

Because they were less specialized. Less specialized animals can easily find new ways of finding food because they do not have a main food source that they need to sustain themselves, they also don't need as much food to survive. Birds are a great example because they can adapt to changes extremely well and are highly intelligent, they are omnivores and can eat stuff like insects and worms, things that are not as effected by mass extinctions, and as soon as fruits and plants become more common again they would start to eat those too.

@akamekurome4941 7 ай бұрын

soo we all agree all modern animals are descendants of dinosaurs millions of years later? so in theory dinosaurs never went extinct. whiiiich means if we dna splice all the modern animals what has dinosaurs characteristics, we can naturally recreate dinosaurs back into existence. so dinosaurs never left us. they still with us.

@jacobcox4565 6 ай бұрын

You seem to be very misinformed on how phylogeny and genetics work. It's impossible to mix the DNA of completely different animals to get another completely different animal. You can't make an extinct species of dinosaur by simply mixing together crocodile and bird DNA. Dinosaurs weren't the ancestors of all modern animals. If that were true, there'd be no animals that lived before dinosaurs existed, but there were. Fish, arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and synapsids were around before the existence of dinosaurs.
