even though i didin't like the allosaurus model, i liked they got inspired by the deer babies behaviour of staying still on the vegetation.

Or inspired by the WWD diploicus baby behaviour?

_Walking with Dinosaurs_ Episode 2: "When faced with danger, the sauropodlets lie very still and depend on their camouflage for protection." _Prehistoric Planet_ Season 2 Episode 1: "The youngsters' best hope is to stay completely still... and not to run." _Life On Our Planet_ Episode 5: "The youngster's best hope... is to stay as still as possible."

1:31 Alan Grant: "They're moving in herds. They _do_ move in herds." 🥹 Episode 5 is officially my favorite episode of the series, mostly due to the fact that they made the dinosaurs the glorious creatures that they used to be millions of years ago.

The diplodicus models are good, the young particularly so, with their cryptic colouration. The allosaurus fell flat with me, its head was too small, and its weird scutes were well, weird. The colouration etc were basically uninspired(look at lions, tigers and wild dogs, their colours, and patterns(and they are mainly hunting colour blind prey! Herbivorous dinosaurs likely had good colour vision). The enviroment. Well I guess could pass for the Northern reaches of the Morrison. Which can be said for most documentaries that feature the morrison, too many to be honest. Or I guess an area that has experienced a particularly good set of years with regular rains and floods keeping it untypically moist. But typically the morrison was a harsh semi arid place, and I think this should be depicted more so, that the animals are even more incredible for surviving and thriving(thanks to their archosaurian physiology) in such a harsh place. Which hey, you could really use it to demonstrate and teach how incredible these animals are, and how these same adaptions are seen in modern birds. My favorite depiction, and the example I like to point to for the more southern reaches of the morrison is the Walking with Dinosaurs special Ballad of Big Al, where they basically shot it in a juniper forest in a desert in Arizona or Utah. You get the sense Big Al lived a hard life in a harsh enviroment, that the brutality of the land itself was a danger in and of itself.

The Dipldocus models aren't that good, they are just JW Apatosaurus with slight changes and JW Apato isn't even that great when it comes to accuracy Main problems with Loop Diplodocus are the head, legs and neck posture They have elephant like feet, which is wrong They have cheeks and the head overall doesn't look that much like what we know And sauropods didn't hold their necks horizontally, they held their necks in an upright posture

@@MysteryDryo Whilst i agree with most of your points the verticality of their necks IS up for debate. Diplodicids all had massive processes on their vertebrae which would have supported killer tendons. Which may have held their head horizontally. You can't compare them to most other organisims as few of those have the neck morphology comparable to that on diplodicids .

And it was generally accepted that therepods were gentle eaters that somehow were causing less damage to the bones of carcasses they fed on than modern carnivores do. Turns out that was literally collection bias. You don't collect all the damaged bits and pieces of bone you generally discerned the better specimens the quite critically the undamaged ones. Just because something is generally accepted it does not make it truer. Especially when the evidence is: well nothing else we can think of does this. Became nothing else is very comparable to a diplodicid. Honestly I am on the fence about this, but I will say, if anything had a neck held at horizontal it's probably going to be them. Especially with those collosal tendon supports in the neck.

Does the diplodocus head look a lot like the apatosaurus from jurassic world?

@DrizzyDrew47 9 ай бұрын

Yes, they most likely reused the Apatosaurus model and just tweaked it to be more accurate or just took the head and pasted it onto a Diplodocus body lol

@@LiamDyC Oh I know. I can understand why BBC reused some assets if they were on a tight schedule or didn’t have the budget to make an additional dinosaur model, not to mention the time it was made, but this is a pretty big corporation with modern day software and modern day paleontology research, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense imo. They did the same with the Allosaurus, they just took the JW model and tweaked it a bit, it’s just odd.

That was interesting its like they took the jurassic world apatosaurus model and put spikes on its back same with the allosaurus just diffrent proportions.
