Hold gentle like hamburger.

If Microraptors still existed, there's a pretty good chance they'd be domesticated in some form.

I guarantee this is the first thing we do when we successfully make a new dinosaur.

The idea of avian dinosaurs doing the bird head focus thing made me picture a t-rex doing it while being jostled in some huge mechanical arm

This video really captures the exaggerated swagger of a feathered microraptor.

Hold the microraptor Cherish the microraptor Forfeit all possessions to microraptor

Sometimes I forget that dinosaurs were yesterday's big birds and the idea that their heads also did that weird stabilization thing that chickens do today is so funny

What people think would happen if dinosaurs were brought back: more studies on old life! What people would really do:

The first thing scientists would do when they successfully clone a microraptor.

We have officially peaked as a species, it's all downhill from here

It’s like a pigeon upgraded to its full potential

The best part is their little feet dangling, plus I like how they're not all synchronized. Some of them have their eyes closed, some are looking in different directions, and the music is a perfect fit.

this whole video just oozes "I just had a really silly idea for a video."

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING

As someone who grew up with chickens, these micro raptors are just silly chickens

I absolutely love how bird like you made him act ,if you have ever seen a take chicken in the same position it will react the same way. Just won't let that head of theres move with the body for some reason birds are weird lol.

“Think about what we could learn about these creatures if we brought them back,” “I’m no! Think about the dangers of using that technology,” “Ha ha, head stays still when I wiggle it,”

This Microraptor model is godly.

If dinosaurs exist today, As a proud paleontology enthusiast, I *WILL* do this xDD

I've watched this so much and I can't get over how realistic it's movements are its insane

It's basically just a bird. Which makes sense.

For as many horror games and movies and shows that have been made about the return of the dinosaurs, part of me believes that if they DID ever come back, a lot of them would be straight up amazing cuddly pets like a lot of the birds we have today.

Best reconstruction of a dinosaur ever. Even realistically simulates how humans would interact.

I really love the iridescent sheen the feathers have

Whenever somebody asks me If I could have a pet dinosaur, I always choose microraptor. Thank you for bringing the light to others

As a member of the Raptor species, I approve this video and the look of the Microraptor in it, it's exactly how I remember them back in the Cretaceous period.

Let's be honest if we could revive dinosaurs this is what people would be doing the memes would exponential

i don't know if anyone is seeing this like i am so here goes: this reconstruction of a raptor with the backing of years of scientific revision has narrowed the once existing gap of how we saw and even romanticised dinosaurs as being a thing so magnificently surreal. this right here, is not too different from a bird we may see today, the gap is blended in and we can see the dinosaur as we see our existing creatures; like the chicken. this video is the epitome of harmony between art and science

I remember seeing the original advert back when I was at university. This is a worthy successor!

they look so confused XD like holding a parrot for a music video and wiggling it around, meanwhile it's just like "wot- y u doin this- can i have seeds"

This glorious masterpiece will be played at my wedding.

I love how it behaves like a bird, pure bird energy

It looks so fed up, I love it

did we look for it? no did we need it? *y e s*

Hold gently the prehistoric magpie

Internet users on their way to make a hyper realistic render of an extinct species using the most up to date paleontological information just to turn it into a shitpost and make him wiggle

All jokes aside, this is an incredible render and I love how bird-esque your interpretation is. Frigging awesome!

This is exactly the kind of thing people would do if these animals didn't go extinct

Funny vid, but to be fair, the idea of microraptor having that headlocking instinct is plausible as I guess it would help them aim for the right tree to jump towards

This is basically the holding a chicken as a hamburger commercial replace with micoraptor

I just love the scientific accuracy here

i love how you could probably actually do that with a microraptor

I think more birdlike bodylanguage on dinosaurs could be terrifying

- How many times have you watched this? - Yes.

Stability at all times. Magic Body Control.

im telling you if there were small raptors today people would just regard them as fast geese with teeth

The sacred microraptor mating dance

I showed my mum this and she said “ that’s not a dinosaur, it’s a bird.” She is in big trouble.

I love doing this with my chickens, it's so cute. Love the animation!

The ACCURACY of the bird behavior, I can’t- the detail! the raptor to the left with closed eyes is just like my chickens when I pet them. Kudos to you!

I like that look they have. It tells me they're slightly annoyed at being handled but understand that they're not going to be harmed and will probably be given treats afterwards.

Microraptors are so cute and I'm glad they aren't completely extinct

This is some of the most realistic animation I've ever seen for an animal with bird-like behaviors

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

Hold chicken gently, like chicken sandwich

See, with feathers and lips dinosaurs actually look like real animals.

I wasnt expecting that to happen A surprise to be sure But a welcome one

MMMMIIIIIKKKKKEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!🥹 Seriously though, this is truly amazing. The texture, lighting, the musical score! 😂 very well done! If I didn’t know any better I’d have thought this was a real creature, and now I want one.

I love how they're just chillin', as if they're used to this

If we gon live in a pre apocalyptic dystopia, I want atleast have a goofy microraptor as a pet

I don't know why this exists, but I'm so happy it does

Let's be honest. If we still had dinosaurs in this era, we'd be doing videos like this

damn the gyro's in that bird's head are amazing.

"Sir, put the ancient duck down"

So this is what they’ve been doing at Prehistoric Park since the series ended.

"This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen"

As a bird owner, I can confirm that the raptors are very happy about this

I love how this references the Mercedes-Benz chicken commercial

Its like a parrot, B U T 6 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 Y E A R S A G O

Everyone: WHERE IS GODZILLA PART 2 Wobbly: birb

What makes this even better is that this is probably how they'd be.

This deserves to be seen by everyone.

This pleases me on some many levels.

This is actually my ultimate dream. Humanity deserves this. I deserve this.

hold him gentle like hamburger and name him French Fry

probably the most accurate micro raptor they haven't met humans but are still calm

I love this

Goddamit, now I want to hold a microraptor >:(

making dinoes feel so real >>>>>

They’re just pigeons with an extra pair of wings!

Jokes aside this is a really nice model.

Gyroscopic microraptor

My dreams in 56°C:

Microraptors are apart of the dromaeosaur family

Now I start to realize how terrifying a dinosaur would look if they also had the head stabilization reflex chickens have

Nobody: My brain during a test:

I wonder how many videos of chickens this guy had to reference for this

I feel this was made by a special type of person with very specific ideas.

I cannot deny I wouldn't do this if I had a pet Micro...nor can anyone else I'm sure.

It's everything I could have ever wanted from this meme...

Grackles are the modern-day microraptors

Everyday I curse god because I can't have an Archaeopteryx or Microraptor as a pet

this is a funny chicken

This gives me so much happiness

I was fully expecting the microraptor to attack the handler.

Really nailed the bird mannerisms

The best use of 3D animation talent by far. (Also very skillful!)

oh my the raptor boys are in town

If I remember correctly, the original was a Mercedes Benz ad

Love this reference animation. Greatest add for a car commercial honestly
